The Israeli killing machine continues to claim the lives of Palestinians in Gaza. In yet another massacre on Monday, 19 civilians were killed when Israeli warplanes bombed a home in Jabalia town, northern Gaza.
The targeted home, belonging to the Abdel Rabbo family, was sheltering dozens of displaced people and was completely destroyed. Among the dead are numerous women and children.
Medical sources confirmed that recovery operations are still underway, with horrific scenes of charred and disfigured bodies being pulled from the rubble.
According to updated medical figures, 50 Palestinians have been killed across Gaza since dawn on Monday alone, amid a renewed wave of deadly attacks targeting civilian homes, shelters, hospitals, and schools.
This assault comes as the full blockade imposed by Israeli forces on Gaza continues for months, preventing the entry of basic necessities like food and medicine, worsening an already catastrophic humanitarian crisis to unprecedented levels.
Indicators on the ground show that the occupation is not only targeting residential areas but is also systematically destroying Gaza’s life-sustaining infrastructure — hospitals, schools, water and electricity networks — in what appears to be a deliberate policy to uproot the population from their land.
What is unfolding in Gaza constitutes an organized campaign to crush an entire society, in gross and repeated violation of international humanitarian law and the Geneva Conventions, which strictly prohibit attacks on civilians, especially in areas of refuge. There is growing concern that this continued strategy may lead to the total erasure of civilian life in Gaza, as the international community remains either paralysed or disturbingly silent.
The repeated scenes of entire families being wiped out under rubble, the total collapse of health and humanitarian services, are no longer just signs of disaster — they form the clear elements of an ongoing genocide under international legal definitions. This demands immediate and effective international action to stop the carnage and hold perpetrators accountable.
