Zionists massacre starving Gazans
GAZA: The Al-Shaer family went to bed hungry at their home in Gaza City. A Zionist airstrike killed them in their sleep. The family – pregnant freelance journalist Walaa Al-Jaabari, her husband and their five children – were among more than 100 people killed in 24 hours of Zionist strikes or gunfire, according to health officials. Their corpses lay in white shrouds outside their bombed home on Wednesday with their names scribbled in pen. Blood seeped through the shrouds as they lay there, staining them red. 'This is my cousin. He was 10. We dug them out of the rubble,' Amr Al-Shaer, holding one of the bodies after retrieving it. Iman Al-Shaer, another relative who lives nearby, said the family hadn't eaten anything before the bombs came down. 'The children slept without food,' he said. Relatives said some neighbors were spared only because they had been out searching for food at the time of the strike. Ten more Palestinians died overnight from starvation, the Gaza health ministry said, bringing the total number of people who have starved to death to 111, most of them in recent weeks as a wave of hunger crashes on the Palestinian enclave. The World Health Organization said on Wednesday 21 children under the age of five were among those who died of malnutrition so far this year. It said it had been unable to deliver any food for nearly 80 days between March and May and that a resumption of food deliveries was still far below what is needed.

The head of the World Health Organization also weighed in, saying that a 'large proportion of the population of Gaza is starving'. 'I don't know what you would call it other than mass starvation — and it's man-made,' Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus told reporters. The United Nations and aid groups trying to deliver food to Gaza say the Zionist entity, which controls everything that comes in and out, is choking delivery, and Zionist troops have shot hundreds of Palestinians dead close to aid collection points since May. 'We have a minimum set of requirements to be able to operate inside Gaza,' Ross Smith, the director of emergencies at the UN World Food Program, told Reuters. 'One of the most important things I want to emphasize is that we need to have no armed actors near our distribution points, near our convoys.' Zionist UN Ambassador Danny Danon told the Security Council on Wednesday that the Zionist entity will now grant only one-month visas to international staff from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs. The Zionist entity has since killed nearly 60,000 Palestinians in Gaza, reduced most of the territory to ruins and forced nearly the entire population to flee their homes multiple times. US Middle East peace envoy Steve Witkoff is expected to hold new ceasefire talks, travelling to Europe this week for meetings on the Gaza war and a range of other issues, a US official said on Tuesday. Zionist President Isaac Herzog told soldiers during a visit to Gaza on Wednesday that 'intensive negotiations' about returning captives held there were underway and he hoped that they would soon 'hear good news', according to a statement. A senior Palestinian official told Reuters Hamas might give mediators a response to the latest proposals in Doha later on Wednesday, on the condition that amendments be made to two major sticking points: Details on a Zionist military withdrawal, and on how to distribute aid during a truce. Zionist Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet includes far-right parties that oppose any agreement that ends without the total destruction of Hamas. 'The second I spot weakness in the prime minister and if I come to think, heaven forbid, that this is about to end with us surrendering instead of with Hamas's absolute surrender, I won't remain (in the government) for even a single day,' Finance Minister Belalel Smotrich told Army Radio. – Agencies

IOF Intensifies Genocidal War in Gaza, Kills 18 Civilians
DaysofPal- The Israeli occupation forces (IOF) killed 18 Palestinians on Thursday morning after intensifying the ongoing bombardment and targeting of starving civilians waiting to receive humanitarian aid at the US-controlled distribution centers. Israeli forces continue to target hungry crowds in a clear policy of starvation and deliberate killing, which has been a key part of the ongoing genocide for 657 consecutive days, committing more massacres against besieged civilians amid a catastrophic humanitarian crisis marked by starvation and systematic destruction. The Palestinian Ministry of Health reported on Wednesday evening that the death toll since March 18, 2025, has reached 8,363 martyrs and 31,004 injuries, bringing the total toll of the Israeli aggression since October 7, 2023, to 59,219 martyrs and 143,045 injuries, most of them women and children. Moreover, the IOF continued its assault on Palestinian journalists, killing the journalist Walaa Al-Jaabari on Wednesday, along with her children and husband, after Israeli forces bombed their home. Meanwhile, the tent of journalist Ahmad Wael Hamdan was bombed in Gaza City, injuring several family members. Furthermore, 2 Palestinians were also killed and others wounded in an airstrike targeting a displaced persons' tent near the Legislative Council in Gaza's Al-Rimal neighborhood. In Al-Bureij refugee camp, Kareem Hassan Al-Sarraj was martyred, and several of his family members were injured when their home was bombed. Al-Awda Hospital in Nuseirat received three martyrs, including a child and an infant, following a strike on a home in the Al-Ahli Club area. Several civilians, including a young girl, were wounded when Israeli forces bombed the home of the Al-Ghoul family in Block 3 of Al-Bureij camp. Meanwhile, two more people were killed and others wounded in a strike on displaced persons' tents in Mawasi, Khan Younis. Medical sources confirmed the killing of a man and a woman and reported ten others injured following an Israeli strike on civilians waiting for aid in northwestern Gaza. As Israeli atrocities continue against civilians amid international silence, human rights groups warn of a worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, with starvation, the collapse of the healthcare system, and daily massacres pushing the population to the brink.

Due to the brutality of the bombing, the fetus was expelled from her womb. With the martyrdom of journalist Al-Jaabari, the number of journalists martyred since the beginning of this year until the end of last June rises to 34. According to the semi-annual report on press freedoms issued by the Journalists' Syndicate a few days ago, the first half of this year witnessed a significant escalation in the targeting of journalists, as 41 individuals from their families were martyred, 32 of their homes were destroyed, and 66 injuries were recorded among them, most of them caused by shrapnel from missiles and live bullets.

Israeli Airstrike kills Palestinian Journalist along with Her 6 Children
DaysofPal- The Palestinian journalist Walaa Al-Jaabari was killed in an Israeli airstrike targeting her apartment in Tel Al-Hawa neighborhood in southwestern Gaza City. The strike also killed her husband and six children at once. Medical sources said that Israeli warplanes struck the apartment belonging to the Al-Sha'er family near Al-Falah Mosque, resulting in the deaths of seven family members, including children and the pregnant mother, while 8 others were injured and rushed to nearby hospitals for treatment. The confirmed casualties include Amjad Al-Sha'er, Walaa Al-Jaabari, Fadi Al-Sha'er, children Hassan, Ezz Al-Din, Mira, Amir Al-Sha'er, and an unborn baby who died in the womb of his mother. Rescue teams pulled the victims from the rubble of the destroyed apartment, located west of the Gaza Radio and Television building in Tel Al-Hawa. The strike has left the neighborhood in shock and mourning. Walaa Al-Jaabari was a prominent local journalist recognized for her contributions to Palestinian media. In contrast, her death marks a tragic addition to the growing number of journalists targeted in the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza. The Israeli occupation army continues its relentless air campaign across the Gaza Strip, resulting in mounting casualties and worsening humanitarian conditions. International organizations have repeatedly called for an immediate halt to the violence and the lifting of the blockade to alleviate the suffering of Gaza's civilian population.
