To put that number in comparison, number civilian including women and children's who being slaughtered by airstrike in Lebanon already surpassed two thousands and will reach three thousands soon. While thirteen thousands being injured.

The killing is awful and has to stop soon .The hamas and hezbollah terrorists need to surrender and the world will become a safer place
NB
The Middle East conflict is stupid, vicious, cruel, dangerous and redundant. There is enough space on the land for both nations.

Some of the Israel related news deemed not worthy of reporting by JT.
Israel must immediately address the “catastrophic humanitarian situation” in Gaza, the US envoy to the UN has warned, as the deadline approaches to improve the flow of aid or face cuts to American military assistance.The US has given its ally until 12 November to "surge" all assistance, with a minimum of 350 lorries entering Gaza daily. But the UN says only 10% of that number have crossed each day on average since then.
On Tuesday Israel leveled a 5 story in Beit Lahia, Gaza killing over 90 Palestinians.State Department spokesman Matthew Miller said the US was "deeply concerned by the loss of civilian life in this incident. This was a horrifying incident with a horrifying result".
A United Nations Commission of Inquiry report concluded "The actions of Israel violate international humanitarian law and the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination, and they are in stark contravention of the International Court of Justice advisory opinion of July 2024.""The Commission finds that Israel has implemented a concerted policy to destroy the health-care system of Gaza. Israeli security forces have deliberately killed, wounded, arrested, detained, mistreated and tortured medical personnel and targeted medical vehicles, constituting the war crimes of wilful killing and mistreatment and the crime against humanity of extermination. Israeli authorities carried out such acts."

But which nation strives to commit genocide to the other?

The children depicted in the photograph deserve to live. The children of the other nation deserve to live too.

Bibi will not stop his aggression until he is removed from office, Israel can and will do better without this criminal.
There is absolutely NO EXCUSEES left to continue this madness other than the fact that Bibi and his team are keen on killing as many Palestinians and Arabs as possible.

Israeli war criminals need to be in the Hague and the ICC needs to stand up to US pressure and issue arrest warrants for the genocidal murderer Netanyahu!

""Lebanon's Hezbollah militant group has been firing thousands of rockets, drones and missiles into Israel, and drawing fierce Israeli retaliatory strikes,""
Minor Correction,
Israeli ""militants"" have been shelling and raiding southern Lebanon with MOB, F-35, F-16, Cruise missiles, and Drones Drawing fierce retaliation from Hezbollah and other groups in the area.
NB
But the current conflict between Israel and Lebanon was initiated by Lebanon on October 8, 2023.

Israel was willing to return the territories captured in 1967 to the Palestinians in return for peace. Read about the summit that took place in Camp David in the year 2000, e.g. in the Wikipedia article carrying the title "2000 Camp David Summit". Various numbers are cited, but now we know that Israel was willing to withraw from 96% of the West Bank, as well as from 4% of the sovereign territory of Israel Itself. The Palestinians rejected this proposition, and turned to intensive terror, thus exposing the fact that their objective is one - annihilating Israel and slaughtering its entire Jewish population. Watch a recent YouTube video, with the title "Bill Clinton says Hamas forces Israel to kill civilians", in which the president who tried to lead the Camp David summit speaks.

The people trying to claim that the Lebanese Defense Forces are the ones attacking, and Netanyahu's militants 'responding/retaliating' hope you don't read the UNIFIL reports.
And seeing as many of the targets the LDF fired on are in Palestine, not Israel, most of the 'people' killed are not just militants, but active participants in THREE crimes (population transfer to occupied territory, violation of the ICSPCA, violation of the CPPCG)
RichardPearce
The people who insist that 'it started October 7th' hope you haven't read the PCHRGaza reports for the months of 'relative calm' before then, and also don't remember who was firing on Israeli civilians from tanks and helicopter gunships on that day
