Gaza endured yet another night of terror as the Israeli occupation army launched brutal and indiscriminate airstrikes on residential homes, tents, and shelters, massacring at least 174 children in the early hours of Tuesday.

The relentless bombardment, described by human rights organizations as "war crimes," wiped out entire families and left the streets of Gaza filled with the lifeless bodies of innocent civilians.

According to reports from the Government Media Office (GMO) and field investigations by human rights groups, Israeli forces targeted densely populated neighborhoods, unleashing widespread destruction. The strikes flattened homes, incinerated makeshift shelters, and turned schools housing displaced families into graveyards. Eyewitnesses described horrifying scenes of children’s bodies mutilated and torn apart, while rescue workers scrambled to pull survivors from beneath the rubble.

Hundreds Killed in a Single Night

The death toll from Israel’s latest wave of massacres has already surpassed 429 martyrs, with 174 children, 89 women, and 32 elderly people among the victims. Health officials fear that the actual number of dead will rise, as countless civilians remain trapped under collapsed buildings, and Gaza’s overwhelmed hospitals struggle to cope with the unprecedented influx of casualties.

The GMO reported that 73% of those killed in today's massacres were children, women, and elderly civilians—a chilling testament to Israel’s indiscriminate targeting of Gaza’s most vulnerable populations.

'No Safe Areas' Left in Gaza

“There are no safe areas,” shocked survivors told reporters, as Israeli warplanes bombed homes, tent encampments, and schools sheltering displaced families. Mothers cradled their dead children in grief, while emergency workers struggled with the lack of medical supplies, fuel, and electricity due to Israel’s ongoing blockade.

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor confirmed that entire families—spanning three generations—have been exterminated by Israeli airstrikes. Parents, children, and grandparents were wiped out in an instant, with entire family trees erased overnight.

An Ongoing Genocide with International Complicity

Palestinian officials have condemned the deliberate targeting of civilians as part of Israel’s systematic campaign of genocide against the Palestinian people. Despite overwhelming evidence of war crimes, Western governments continue to provide military and political support to Israel, shielding it from accountability on the international stage.

As Gaza’s hospitals collapse and mass graves continue to be dug for the dead, Palestinian voices are calling on the world to act urgently to stop the bloodshed. The question remains—how many more children must die before the world says enough? (ILKHA)
