Carpet Bombing of Civilians: 25 Killed in School Attacks
In one of the most horrifying escalations of its genocidal campaign, Israeli airstrikes targeted three schools used as refugee shelters, murdering at least 25 Palestinians, most of them displaced families and children. The attacks occurred in Khan Younis and the middle districts, where civilians had taken shelter after fleeing from northern Gaza.
According to The Guardian, the schools were clearly marked and registered with UN agencies, yet were bombed under the pretext of harboring “Hamas control centers.” No evidence has been presented to support that claim.
“These are not accidents. These are executions,” said Dr. Lina Khattab, a field medic in Khan Younis. “The Israeli regime is systematically murdering displaced Palestinians.”
Ground Invasion: Shujaiya and Rafah Under Fire
Simultaneously, Israeli ground troops stormed neighborhoods in Shujaiya and eastern Rafah, supported by drones, tanks, and sniper units. Entire residential blocks were shelled to rubble. Eyewitnesses reported mass arrests of men, while children screamed through night raids.
The IDF, cloaked in Orwellian euphemisms, claimed it was “expanding security operations.” But what unfolded was a scorched-earth invasion, demolishing homes and dividing Gaza into isolated ghettos. The planned military corridor between Khan Younis and Rafah is not for protection — it is for ethnic partition.
Lebanon, Syria Also Under Israeli Assault
While Gaza burned, Israel expanded its war crimes into Lebanon and Syria. An Israeli airstrike killed Hassan Farhat, a senior Hamas figure in southern Lebanon, along with his children. The attack violated the fragile truce with Hezbollah and risks igniting a second front.
In Syria’s Daraa region, Israeli forces conducted cross-border air and ground raids, murdering at least 13 civilians under the guise of counterterrorism.
Turkey’s Foreign Minister condemned the assaults, stating,
“Israel’s regional aggression is destabilizing the Middle East and violating every norm of international law.”
Death Toll Mounts: Over 1,250 Palestinians Killed in 3 Weeks
Since the breakdown of the March ceasefire, Israel has killed over 1,250 Palestinians—more than 100 on April 3 alone. Gaza’s Health Ministry confirms the use of bunker-busting bombs, white phosphorus, and banned explosive ordinances, many supplied by the United States and European defense contractors.
UNICEF reports that more than 15,000 children have been orphaned in Gaza since October 2023. Entire generations are being erased.
Mass Displacement and Ethnic Engineering
Over 280,000 people have been newly displaced in recent weeks, forced to flee bombed-out shelters into tent camps with no sanitation, food, or water. These engineered expulsions are part of a broader plan to depopulate Gaza’s urban centers and redraw its demographic map.
“What Israel is doing is not a counterterror operation. It is apartheid by annihilation,” said former UN human rights envoy Richard Falk.
The West’s Shameful Endorsement
Despite overwhelming evidence of war crimes, the United States and Europe remain fully complicit, continuing to fund Israel’s military infrastructure and block international accountability.
Ceasefire proposals in the UN Security Council have been repeatedly vetoed by Washington, while the EU has refused to sanction Israel, citing “strategic considerations.”
Gaza is not at war. Gaza is being eliminated.
As schools burn, bodies rot in collapsed stairwells, and children whisper final prayers in refugee tents, Israel continues its genocidal campaign with the moral and material support of the West.
History will record this moment—not as a war on Hamas, but as a war on humanity.
