On Saturday, Day 421 of the ongoing genocide, Israeli missiles killed more than one hundred Palestinians and injured dozens, including many children and women, across the devastated, besieged, and starved Gaza Strip.
On Saturday evening, the army committed a massacre in the Tal Az-Za’tar area in northern Gaza, killing at least forty Palestinians.
Medical sources confirmed that the army fired missiles at a residential building for the Al-Araj family, where many families sheltered, in Tal Az-Za’tar, killing at least forty Palestinians, including many children and women, and wounding dozens.
They added that many Palestinians remain under the rubble as rescue efforts continue despite limited means.
At least one hundred Palestinians, largely women and children, were sheltering in the bombarded building.
We have observed an increase in the pace of targeted killings carried out by Israeli forces in Gaza and its north over the past few days, targeting local activists working in the civil, media, and relief fields through reconnaissance aircraft and snipers. #GazaGenocide pic.twitter.com/zXoKkzU3s9

The sources also stated that dozens of slain Palestinians remain under the rubble of their homes from Israeli bombing targeting Beit Lahia two days earlier.
In Gaza City, one Palestinian was killed and many injured in Israeli bombing of Palestinian homes in the Nasr neighborhood.
Also, an Israeli Quadcopter military drone fired live rounds at the Baptist Hospital in Gaza City, killing a reporter working for Al-Aqsa TV, identified as Mamdouh Qneita, bringing the number of slain journalists to 191.
In addition, two Palestinian children were killed, and many residents injured, in Israeli bombing of the Al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis, in the Gaza Strip’s southern part.
The Israeli army also wired and detonated many homes and buildings in Gaza Lahia, in addition to firing barrages of shells and missiles.
It is worth mentioning that dozens of Palestinians remain under the rubble in Jabalia and Beit Lahia in northern Gaza from continued bombing over the last two days.
In addition, the international NGO “Save The Children” stated that one of its workers was killed in Gaza and demanded an immediate investigation into the incident.
On Friday morning, the Israeli army killed three workers of the World Food Kitchen after firing a missile at their car in Khan Younis. They have been identified as Ahed Azmi Qudeih and Mohammed Adel Al-Namla.
On Saturday, former Israeli Defense Minister Moshe Ya’alon stated that Israel is “being dragged into ethnic cleansing in Gaza.”
During an interview with independent Israeli media outlet DemocratTV, Ya’alon stated, “We are being steered towards a path of conquest, annexation, and ethnic cleansing. Take the northern Gaza Strip, for instance—call it transfer or whatever you like—and establish Jewish settlements. This is the reality we face. Polls show that 70% of the public, sometimes more, supports a vision that includes being Jewish, democratic, liberal, and so on, along with separation. We must not lose sight of this. Those currently leading us are dragging us towards nothing short of destruction.”
Back on October 11, Israeli daily Haaretz stated that “the Israeli army is conducting ethnic cleansing in northern Gaza. The few remaining Palestinians in the area are being forcibly displaced, homes and infrastructure are being destroyed, and wide roads are being carved out.”
90% of people in #Gaza are now living in tents, leaving them vulnerable to respiratory and other diseases, food insecurity and malnutrition as winter approaches.

Haaretz stated that military correspondent Yaniv Kubovich toured the area with Israeli forces and concluded that the coastal enclave “looks as if it has been hit by a natural disaster.”
The Palestinian Health Ministry stated that the Israeli army killed more than one hundred Palestinians in several parts of the Gaza Strip on Saturday, adding that most of the casualties are children and women.
The Israeli occupation forces have continued their aggression on the Gaza Strip by land, sea, and air since October 7, 2023, resulting in the killing of 44,363 citizens, including at least 17,492 children and 11,979 women, and the injury of 105,070 others. This is an incomplete toll, as thousands of victims are still under the rubble and on the roads, and ambulance and rescue crews cannot reach them.
