Israel killed at least 62 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip in the
past 24 hours according to the Gaza branch of the Palestinian Health
Ministry. Israeli air strikes and artillery shelling targeted houses
and shelter centers across the strip, including three direct attacks
on displaced Palestinians in the north and the center of the Gaza
Strip.
In Deir al-Balah, Israeli drones opened fire at tents of displaced
families in the perimeter of the al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, provoking a
fire that spread across tents, killing at least four Palestinians and
burning several patients alive in their hospital beds.
Harrowing images appeared on social media depicting the victims
engulfed by flames and visibly moving while lying down in hospital
beds as they burned alive, with bystanders screaming and unable to
save them due to the conflagration.
Video footage also circulated of Palestinians trying to put out the
fire. A survivor, a middle-aged woman, told Al Jazeeras reporter that
we woke up to the sound of the strike, which blew away 40 tents. We
spent the whole night transporting the injured. People were burned,
some were melted.
People came here from everywhere escaping death, but we came to a
second death, she told Al Jazeera. Without tents or cover, what will
people do now? Winter is coming. Where shall we go?
In Jabalia in northern Gaza, where Israeli forces continued their
latest ground offensive for the tenth day in a row, Israeli quadcopter
drones opened fire on Palestinians who had gathered to receive food at
an UNRWA aid distribution center. According to Palestinian reports, at
least 10 people were killed and some 40 were wounded.
Meanwhile, Israel continues to impose a total siege for the tenth
consecutive day on the northern Gaza governorate, including Beit
Lahia, Beit Hanoun, and Jabalia, where 200,000 Palestinians continue
to live and have been cut off from Gaza City. Local reports indicate
an alarming increase in the lack of food and medical supplies.
On Wednesday, the Kamal Adwan hospital in Beit Lahia, one of the few
remaining functioning hospitals in the strip, issued an urgent call
for medical supplies and fuel for generators. The hospital pointed out
that the amount of fuel that could enter the area was only enough for
10 more days.
Israels siege on the northern Gaza Strip and its offensive on Jabalia
began two weeks after Netanyahu announced to Israeli lawmakers that he
was considering a plan put forward by several Israeli generals known
as the Generals Plan aiming at emptying the north of the Gaza
Strip of Palestinians by making the area uninhabitable. According to
the Palestinian Civil Defense, 350 Palestinians have already been
killed in the area since the beginning of the latest siege and
offensive 10 days ago.

Oscar Dirlewanger and his brigade would have made fine additions to
the IDF. Morally there is no difference.
