A Week of Israel’s Horrific Massacres in Gaza
The barbarities keep coming in Gaza. This week saw a massacre in Gaza City of at least 60 people, mostly children and women, many of them burned alive — followed by a massacre of over 100 in a “humanitarian safe zone.”

It has been a week of unspeakable horror in Gaza.
This morning, the Israeli army carried out one of the worst massacres in Gaza yet, killing more than one hundred Palestinians, including children, and wounding hundreds others. Israeli forces bombarded a densely populated area in the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, a tent region designated by Israel as “a humanitarian safe zone” for displaced Palestinians, where over eighty thousand people are taking shelter. Horrific scenes from al-Mawasi show dozens of bodies strewn on the ground in the wake of the massacre, many of them medical workers who were shot by Israeli soldiers as they rushed to help the wounded.
“The scenes that are coming from the area that was targeted are incredibly bloody and devastating,” Palestinian journalist Tareq Abu Azzoum told Al Jazeera.
