Israeli forces clashed with Hamas militants across the Gaza Strip on Saturday, the Israeli military said, deepening its engagement in the decimated enclave even as the Palestinian death toll from relentless airstrikes in 12 weeks of war soared higher.

The Gaza Health Ministry reported Saturday that 165 people had been killed in Israeli airstrikes and artillery attacks in the previous 24 hours, adding to the ministry’s toll of more than 21,500 people killed in Gaza since the war began with the Oct. 7 Hamas-led raids into Israel.

    “21500 people killed” while when they report about Russia attack they use the word “murder”

    They fail to say that the 21000 a number estimated a few weeks back where there were functional hospitals.

    This is fucked up.

      Who’s “they”? The New York Times?

      “Ukrainian Missile Attack on a Russian City Kills at Least 22, Officials Say”

      “In one of the war’s largest bombardments, 35 missiles slipped through Ukraine’s air cover on Friday, killing dozens. Ukraine responded with shelling on the Russian region of Belgorod, killing at least 22.”

      Both were published today, describing both Russians and Ukrainians as having been “killed” in bombing. The word murder isn’t used in either article.
