Israeli air strikes target densely populated residential complex in northern Gaza town, killing and wounding scores

An Israeli attack on Beit Lahiya, a town in northern Gaza, killed at least 73 Palestinians on Saturday evening, according to the enclave’s government media office.

More than 100 others were wounded and several people missing.

Israeli air strikes targeted a multi-floor building and damaged a number of nearby houses, medics in the Gaza Strip reported.

The government media office said that Israeli forces had bombed overcrowded residential areas in Beit Lahiya, adding that women and children were amongst the casualties.

    I don’t think Germans should be able to play the “hey listen to us we’re genocide experts” card at the UN.

    Its super antisemitic of them to shout over the voices of Jews crying “never again” as they witness the genocide in Palestine unfold.

      At the ICC it is not about genocide though. It is about specific war crimes. The “objection” by Germany was also not about qualifying what happened, but something procedural along the lines of saying there shouldn’t be a prosecution while there still is war. Which of course is equally absurd.
