Israel’s war on Gaza live: No respite for Palestinians from bombardment

By Saif Khalid and Urooba Jamal On 24 Sep 202424 Sep 2024

Tuesday dawned with Israel continuing its massive insane bombardment of Gaza, with at least nine Palestinians killed in overnight attacks across the besieged enclave.
Nearly 100 children and women are among the 495 people killed in Israeli strikes in Lebanon as Israel escalates its war against Hezbollah yesterday.

The UN humanitarian agency called on the Israeli military “to stop attacking schools that provide the last shelter to Palestinians”. The call came after Israeli forces killed 32 Palestinians in three attacks on Gaza schools in as many days.
Washington declared it is “trying hard” to “de-escalate” but it could stop Israel’s fascist killing spree today by cutting arms supplies. The US regime is adrift with President Biden crippled by dementia. Yesterday the first White House cabinet meeting in a year was held, but Biden’s wife Jill had to lead it.

“Israel attacked Lebanon Monday, killing over 500 people and injuring more than 1000 others as fears grow of an all-out war between Israel and Hezbollah. The Israeli military also ordered residents of southern Lebanon to leave their homes if they live near any site used by the militant group. “At the heart of this is an attempt to manufacture consent and try to portray most southern Lebanese as Hezbolloh operatives,” says Sintia Issa, editor-at-large at the Beirut-based media organization The Public Source. We also speak with Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British Palestinian reconstructive surgeon volunteering at the American University of Beirut Medical Center, where he has been treating victims of last week’s device explosions that injured thousands of people. He describes the disfiguring injuries from Israel’s booby-trapping of pagers and walkie-talkies, calling it “an act of mass mutilation.” Democracy Now
