At least 11 people, including children, have been killed in an Israeli attack on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza, it has been reported.

The Palestinian Wafa news agency reported that the strike hit a playground frequently visited by displaced children.

Most of those killed were children, the news agency reported with several people also wounded in the attack

One eyewitness described the situation as a “horrific scene of children torn apart”.

The latest data from Unicef said that one child in Gaza is killed or injured every 10 minutes and further said that at least 70 children are injured every day during the Israeli bombardment.

    It blows my mind that there are people on here that are cool with doing an airstrike on a playground full of orphans. Many (most?) of which already had to witness the same happening to their parents.

    I’m sorry but there is zero justification for that. None. Your argument is invalid.

      Yea, their argument boils down to “well Hamas so they deserve it, it’s their own fault”. Incredibly apathetic and cruel. Tbf people who think like that are also victims of something truly fucked up in their lives, but they are wrong and Israel is wrong to do this. Full stop.

        • Every Palestinian is Hamas.
        • Every hole in the ground is a Hamas Tunnel.
        • Every critic of Israel is pro-Hamas.

        Those 3 sentences are the entire foundation of Israeli Propaganda.

        There is not a single “argument” maybe by the Israeli Government, the IDF, hasbara astroturfers or genocide-excusing useful idiots that doesn’t relly on at least one of those, especially the first.

        Man, fuck international law, it goes against the religious beliefs held by many committing these atrocities. I’m not religious at all, but if your god is happy you bombed a fucking playground of children, then fuck your god.


        Side note, I agree with you and this was not directed negatively to the previously reply. “Your” was used generally, not specifically. I hate this world sometimes, is all.

          They all have the same god bud. Islam, Judaism and Christ based religions are all religions of Abraham.

            I know. That’s why I didn’t specify any specific deity and left it lower-case. They’re all the same never-ending grift.

            The way things sit currently, “Palestine” is more like a large native american reservation than a country, maybe a reservation in 1885 when they were still actively, occasionally, fighting the government and the army would come by sometimes and kill a bunch.
