Israel (deloberately) Kills 26 Palestinians in Gaza, Including Starved Aid Seekers

Editing Team21 hours agoLast Updated: June 21, 2025

aza (Quds News Network)- Israeli forces killed 26 Palestinians across Gaza on Saturday, including 11 starved people waiting for food aid, as the Israeli blockade continues. The Israeli military has blocked fuel entry into the strip for 16 consecutive weeks, paralyzing critical services.

The Health Ministry said hospitals received 202 bodies and 1,037 wounded people in just two days. Since October 7, 2023, Israel has killed 55,908 Palestinians and injured 131,138 others.

Three Palestinians were shot dead near a US so-called ā€˜aid center’ northwest of Rafah.

Israeli forces also launched airstrikes on Shujaiya and Tuffah neighborhoods in Gaza City, and on Jabalia in the north. In Khan Younis, artillery fire hit Al-Batin Al-Samin area in the city center.

A medical source reported that an Israeli strike killed three Palestinian children and severely injured another. The attack hit a group of children on Al-Mansoura Street in Shujaiya.

Other Palestinians were shot while trying to receive food aid near the Israeli-called Netzarim corridor, where Israeli forces routinely fire to restrict movement.

Water pumps need electricity. Haifa power plant knocked out.

40% of Israel’s power rated capacity now offline. Likely next power plant to go is the big coal Ashkelon plant m. When that goes - 60% of Israel’s power will be offline.

3 power plants

Cannot verify if exagerated but something along those lines is occuring:

Khan Yunis Channel and its people

"While the world is preoccupied with Iran, and we are preoccupied with displacement, lining up at fresh water points, and searching for a place to stay,the army is completely wiping out the cities of Khan Yunis, Jabalia, Shuja'iyya, al-Tufah, and Beit Khanoun.

Dozens of bombing operations have been carried out, demolishing hundreds of homes in a short period of time, 50 times faster than the destruction of Rafah"

Private (not US) food delivery said to enter with promises of more, for now appears symbolic (WFC ? ) via Ayman Hanideq but not clear on amount or organisation.

Continued killed/martyred at US aid distribution centers.

It seems like things aren't what they seem like.

So far based on what I see, the information doesn't add up. Go back to large scale motives:

Bibi wants to avoid prison.
Orange Boy wants to pass BBB and do Reaganomics 2.0.
The population of Israel wants to kill everyone but themselves.

Other factors: US debt clock ticking, gold, oil markets ignore this. US liw on AD missiles. Israel low on everything. Collaborators in Egypt, Jordan, Saudi Arabia all unpopular for helping the killing.

Pakistan and Turkiye want to be on both teams equally.

Iran wants to prove they are not run by Russia or China. Europe and NATO want to lick the Orange ball sack.

While there have been countless accounts regarding the eternal battle between "good and evil", it might be useful to look at the interpretation of the Upanishads pertaining this battle. It states therein, that the outcome is predetermined: "good will win two times - followed by evil winning one time". It is obvious, that evil is winning this time. Even as an atheist, the only word that succinctly describes the actions of the Zionists is "evil". "Evil" as in "Hell", described by Hieronymus Bosch. What happens in Palestine is a perfect enactment of the picture "Hell" and it should serve as evidence, that hell is exactly what the Zionists are unleashing not only on the innocent population of Palestine - but given the opportunity on all of mankind that does not fit their interpretation of being worthy enough to live.
There is a well founded reason to state that "we are all Palestinians now", because we all are in the eyes of these deranged psychopaths. The genocide in Palestine is only possible via a highly sophisticated network of blackmail and brainwashing propaganda. The supporting nations of this crime are led by politicians and career bureaucrats for whom the wellbeing of their own populations is absolutely secondary, if not less than that. The new German Führer even proclaimed that Israel must be lauded for doing the "Drecksarbeit" for the West. And make no mistake "Drecksarbeit" is a perfect description of what happens in Palestine.
Now, in staying with Eastern philosophy, another principle has never been refuted: "What goes around - comes around". In actuality it "must come around" as there is no other way. As long as gravity rules this planet, what goes up - must come down. The inevitability of both principles are the fabric this existence is based upon.
The biggest Anti-Semites are the Zionists and it is them who are responsible for the destruction of the lawless construct called "Israel". With an entity committing crimes against humanity that have no previous occurrence, have no words to describe their heinous and horrific perpetration - utter destruction is the only outcome. And in spite of incessant attempts to rewrite history on wikipedia - all brutal, totalitarian, mass murdering regimes ended in the same way they ruled. And it is not the just the sword any longer. In quintessence it is now "He, who rules by butchery - dies by butchery". Those are the words that come to mind and they are still highly insufficient in describing the crimes that take place by the hands of the zionists.

" Iran is claiming to have minimal damage and no casualties. In the hours following the American strike they may have launched 400 missiles including two of their most advanced ones. There are reports of Tel Aviv neighborhoods being flattened."

Their Parliament is voting on whether to close the straight of Hormuz. The Americans are threatening additional bombings. The initial response from Iran is now pending. It's most likely that they will Target the bases involved in the attack first.

Wonder what those tiny hats will do next...they'll want to top the twin towers, just because...

That's why they'll never be able to bomb Iran into submission. Think how many bombs have been dropped in Ukraine and many buildings still standing. If they used every bomb they had they probably couldn't flatten Haifa. It's not easy.

I would look to flatten the army and where they are concentrated. They have plenty of cluster rounds. Bring Lebanon back into the fight.

==========

Just today at our weekly standout for Pal rights and ending the genocide a few of us were talking about Chabad--How that organization operates to inveigle secular laidback Jews slowly into the Zionist and soon the "rabid Zionist" camp.
One of the major Zionist oligarch players is Paul Singer. He is behind setting up a lot of these Chabad cells. Purchases a residence (cost is no object), pays a rabbi couple to move to the community, maybe also buys a nearby estate as a headquarters of their "foundation," they start putting on free "fellowship" events with free meals, pretty soon they are inviting industrial-strength Israeli ideologues to come and address a "forum," then they bring over freed hostages and put on events featuring these people . . .

Kind of mental arsenic to non-Zionst Jews to turn them into Zionists.

The collapse of Gaza, and the pagers for Hizebollah, along with the fall of Syria...and now Israel came in one fell swoop and wiped out most of Iran's air defensese and took out their nuclear capabilities.

I'd call that even for Oct 7.

Posted by: As-I-see-it | Jun 23 2025 5:34 utc |

Gaza is an Israeli run concentration camp. Not hard to make that collapse. But the Israelis did not defeat Hamas and the Palestinian Resistance so hardly a real collapse.

The booby trapped pagers killed mostly civilians and did not destroy Hezbollah.

Syria has been falling for decades. Hardly difficult and now it is in chaos watch Syrians unite against the Killraelis.

As to Iran, it is in far better shape than Israel so we can conclude its air defences were not taken out and everyone knows whatever nuclear capacity it had remains untouched.

Honestly you need to stop listening to the piffle the Pissraelis put out.

October 7 was the result of 77 years of Israeli genocidal colonial slaughter and destruction and given that Israel is now being laid waste by Iran and the world loathes the Zioraeli State and is cheering Iran on, I would say that was a callout for fair and square and even for the Palestinians. Israeli chutzpah has brought their hideous State down. Wonderful to see them getting a taste of what they have dished out for nearly a century. Natural justice is so satisfying.

How the IDF killed hundreds of its own people on 7 October

…. That Israel killed hundreds of its own people between 7 and 9 October 2023.

The regime ideologically justified this within Israeli society using a well-established national murder-suicide pact known in Israel as the ā€œHannibal Directive.ā€

The Electronic Intifada today presents a full overview of how Israel killed so many of its own people during the Palestinian offensive.

This article is based on a year’s worth of The Electronic Intifada’s investigative reporting, extensive monitoring and translation of the Hebrew-language Israeli media, independent examination of hundreds of videos, a recent pro-Israel film broadcast by the BBC and Paramount+ about the Supernova rave, official Israeli figures of the dead and a little-read UN Human Rights Council report.

We can conclude that during the Al-Aqsa Flood offensive:

Israel expanded the use of its murderous ā€œHannibal Directiveā€ – designed to prevent soldiers from being taken alive as prisoners of war – by killing many of its own civilians.

The use of such ā€œHannibalā€ strikes are confirmed in a UN report published in June.

Fire from Israeli helicopters, drones, tanks and even ground troops was deliberately undertaken in order to prevent Palestinian fighters from taking live Israeli captives who could be exchanged for Palestinian prisoners.

At the initiative of the local Gaza Division, ā€œHannibalā€ was carried out right away: less than an hour after the Palestinian offensive began.

ā€œNot a single vehicle can return to Gaza,ā€ the division was ordered at 11:22 am.

By midday, an unambiguous order was given from the high command of the Israeli military (the so-called ā€œPitā€ headquarters, deep under Israel’s Hakirya building in downtown Tel Aviv) to invoke the Hannibal Directive throughout the entire region, ā€œeven if this means the endangerment or harming of the lives of civilians in the region, including the captives themselves.ā€

This bombing of Israeli captives by Israel continues in Gaza even today……

BREAKING: Illegal Israeli settlers are running away from Palestine.

Settlers are escaping towards the Taba crossing to exit Israel and travel to Europe via the Sharm el-Sheikh airport.

So RUN while you still can because the illegal Apartheid Entity is DONE.
Your roll as fascist imperialist colonisers of lands and genociders of native peoples of the Levant is OVER. YOUR owners and Masters are going to let you make a pretty picture of Exodus!

Hilarious that for many it’s back to Pharoah and the flashy tourist spots of Sharm El Sheik!

HasbaRats you are HasbeenRats.

The last few faggoty barking made white supremacist ziofascists left bang ban banging away in their shelters until they orgasmically self expire leaving a stinking stench in these self built and entered graves.

The missiles will never stop now until the metastasis shrinks back to where it started hundred years ago.
The fake con Balfour Declaration will be rescinded as ILLEGAL.
The People and Parliament never debated or voted for it.
Britain had No right over these far off lands anyway.
London is about to burn with ever growing support for Gaza and its daily murdered.
The festival season will show the truth.
The BBC will have to censor itself from broadcasting most of the musical acts.
Kneecaps persecution has started the youth again and fellow musicians who are Not Zionists will get the message out.
ā€˜Oh Jeremy Corbyn’ will be taken up again as an anthem!
You have lost the youth of the U.K. and Europe.
They will never support the ziofascist illegal apartheid colony.

This century’s legacy of death foretold and planned genocide.
The new Guernica that you the fascist Zionist Nazis have made of Gaza, Palestine and The Levant as thief’s and robber ā€˜settlers’ - just fucking greedy, murdering bastards.
So run while you can but Justice will catch you up.
You will never be able to hide like your shapeshifter Masters and Owners always do.

Now the hall is exactly where it was with Guernica - an escalation to a hot war that will engulf Europe and this time from the Americas mainlands to the farthest hobbit holes where the shapeshifters will think they are safe!

Mr F Kingz Hell and oreshniks and wonders we have not yet seen will find them quickly and first in all the death that they plan. No winners will be allowed for the usual bastard Death Merchants from wars from now on.

Andrei Martyanov put up this video with the remark, "Actually, what George says here is exactly what I was saying all along. We all were."

https://youtu.be/iphzftV8d6U

And it took me straight back to a discussion years ago about Israel on Colonel Lang's site.

The Colonel brushed aside talk of the Scofield Bible, and of the influence AIPAC exerts on the American body politic. Israel would last, he said, as long as it was of use to the United States. When it ceased to be of use it would cease to be.

I can't link to the discussion because the site's down. That is, however, a fair summary of the Colonel's view. Galloway asserts the same in that video.

So many Israelis fleeing daily to escape the war was surprising. That is a lot in my mind and potentially means that there are far more ructions in Israeli society than what I previously believed. I honestly believed the polls of everyone being behind Nutandyahoo if only because of their latent racist viciousness.

The Cyprus-Israeli distance is quite a feat , and much more dangerous than the little fleet that saved the British at Dunkirk.

*Update

Vance tells the truth!

When asked if the US would support an Israeli assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader
Vance replied that it would be "up to the Israelis".

Vance also said that the US' [public] position is that we don't want regime change.

Posted by: Otto Penn | Jun 22 2025 16:49 utc | 27

Well, didn't take long for Trump to put egg on Vance's face.
Trump has now made public what people should have realized for years.
The US seeks regime change.

I am reminded of what Colin Powell said on "Meet The Press" after September 11th.


Within a day of an announcement by the Bush administration that it would provide proof that Osama bin Laden and his Al Qaeda organization were responsible for the September 11 terror attacks, the government reneged on its pledge.

Last Sunday, Secretary of State Colin Powell appeared on NBC’s ā€œMeet the Pressā€ and said the government would soon ā€œput out a paper ... that will describe clearly the evidence that we have linkingā€ bin Laden to the attacks on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon.

Also, [from previous post] When asked if the US would support an Israeli assassination of Iran's Supreme Leader
Vance replied that it would be "up to the Israelis".

"Up to the Israelis" - Vance.
What is in our interest - The Country you are VP of !! - is NOT part of the equation.
It is "up to the Israelis".

Until this week, Army Col Nathan McCormack led the Joint Chiefs of Staff's Levant and Egypt branch. That team is part of the Joint Staff J5, which proposes strategies, plans, and policy recommendations to the chairman of the Joint Chiefs.

He was removed from his position because 'he got it', he saw reality.

He posted on X the following (and more):


June 2024: ā€œThe U.S. has not been an honest broker. We have overwhelmingly enabled Israel’s bad behavior.ā€

May 2024: Amid talk of pushing Gaza residents into other countries, McCormack wrote, "[Israel] wants to expel them and cleanse 'Eretz Israel' of ethnic Palestinians."

April 2024: ā€œI’ve lately been considering whether we might be Israel’s proxy and not realized it yet. Our worst ā€˜ally.’ We get literally nothing out of the ā€˜partnership’ other than the enmity of millions of people in the Middle East, Africa and Asia.ā€

How do you do that? These were, after all, manned nuclear facilities.


Answer: (1) You tell the Iranians the targets and

(2) tell them to get every living person the hell away from theses targets

(3) Tell them to not bother with there air defense systems because you're not going to see us coming

(4) You don't tell congress

Courage? Not so sure about that.

Overwought? Definitely.

In his agitated condition, Mr. Galloway overlooks something significant. The US attack on Iran left no casualties. IOW, the US didn't kill anybody last Saturday night.

When you think about how wars heretofore have been started or conducted, that hasn't happened.

Why now?

Mr. Galloway, unknowingly, I think, hit on it when, in his opening statement he used the word "deception."

Mr. Trumps stated aversion to killing human beings seems to be holding. At least, that's my take on it.

@Johnny Dollar | Jun 23 2025 15:21 utc:

I'll subscribe to your "overwrought" characterization when I see you make a speech, no teleprompter, extemporaneous, with comparable clarity, elocution (word-selection, vocabulary range), enunciation cadence, precision-timing, etc.

I'm guessing it'll be a while before you match George Galloway.

Courage? Galloway puts himself out there (btw, no pseudonyms) and speaks directly to power those things we all know to be true, but most people can't summon the backbone to say aloud.

Let me know when you make such a speech - in public, with millions of viewers - that counters so forcefully and convincingly and accurately the top-down narrative, and then you'll have some street-cred to question Galloway's courage.

That ain't gonna happen, is it?

It's not going to happen because you won't do it. And because you prefer to snipe from the shadows instead of standing in public and forcefully articulating your position, you'll never achieve 100 viewers, let alone millions.

=====

I applaud Mr. Trump for no casualties. Let's see if he can keep it up.

Let's see him show the backbone of Galloway, and pilot the U.S. away from Israel First and Empire First and more toward America First.

Indeed.

When he threw bombs at Iran last Saturday, I went off on Trump, too. One reason was because I believed Trump when he publicly expressed what to me was a sincere and inherent dislike for the useless deaths caused in the Ukrainian war. Bombing Iran, I felt strongly he went back on that promise. Until I learned he did not inflict any casualties. And, I think he could have.

I think he went into this Iran thing with the idea that he would not lay a finger on anyone. And that's what he told his military. In the past, there was no way the military could reasonably comply with that order. However, last Saturday, they could and did. And they were able to do that for the simple reason the Iranians were not able to see the delivery vehicles.

So now it’s obvious to me that Palestine Action ā€˜protestors’ have been infiltrated and taken over by state agitators. Much as the last centuries antinuclear and antivivisection were by undercover police specials, who too fake identitities, had sexual relationships and even children with genuine protestors before going back to their ā€˜real lives’.

The break in and painting of planes at an RAF base was organised. If you know any RAF Regiment types - they are on guard along with dogs always. And they can shoot real bullets. So allowing the break in which didn’t do any real damage to planes- is a false flag. Agit prop operation. As was yesterdays ā€˜protest’ in central London.

Yes there are many real Palestine Gaza protestors but the handful of agit propers have infiltrated their actions.

The purpose? To dampen down the ever increasing support for Palestinians of Gaza and demanding an end to the illegal apartheid entity.

So we have the disgraceful sight of ā€˜NuLabour blairbabe of the 90’s - little Mrs wobbly head Balls’. The current Home Secretary and passed over first woman Labour PM due to Corbyns surprise leadership.

She and her likes, vampires on the young politicals of the 80’s. We who supported greenham common nuke protestors - where breaking into and disrupting nuclear convoys was largely supported by the Labour Party before its wholesale capture under Kinnock,Smith and the blow hard blairites since - except for the sanity of a few years of Corbynism, which too was finally ended by the treacherous SirKyivStarmztrooper. Returning the party to its warmongering neoliberal global ziofascist imperialism of the ages.

The proscription of Palestine Action is the fascist Zionist state showing its rancid claws.

You know what? As usual they being in such a hurry to head off to their Mediterranean holidays , islands and yachts - have managed to fuck up their timing yet again.

As the majority of the poor youth who don’t come from their privileged monied vacationing classes will be trying to amuse themselves through the summer at admittedly rip-off Festivals!

What with the band, Kneecap’s persecution which I mentioned in my previous comment and now the jackboot banning of PA.

Instead of the ensuing ā€˜cooling’ of the youngsters support it will actually ignite it like petrol on embers. Palestine protestors will now exponentially increase. The bbc will be censoring its own Glastonbury broadcasts. Musical acts will be warned about what they can say and having their earnings and futures confiscated. Let’s see which of the artistes are real and how many are fakes.

Maybe that’s the plan, wheels within wheels, who knows with those mighty self declared intellectuals and Narrative Constructor PR ā€˜elites’ - all from the same family classes as the military, judiciary, academia and church! Maybe it’s the route to conscription and brainwashing of the population towards boots on the ground body bags in their tens of thousands - trying to secure the illegal entity, Syria and the biggest jewel they have dreamed of winning for 25 years - Iran.

The high and mighty ziofascist imperilists of the ages, attempting to make their last colony deliver the last gasp victory over the worlds peoples and resources - fragging it from the jaws of defeat to the rising multipolar and global south’s real emancipation - not the fake Commonwealth of Empire

In Gaza, a number: The IDF has killed almost as many Palestinians seeking food aid as they have killed Iranians in Trump's "12 day war".

-----------------

Gaza's Health Ministry says hospitals have received 49 people who were killed by Israeli while trying to access humanitarian aid in the past 24 hours.

It also reports 197 wounded while trying to seek aid, bringing the total number of Palestinians killed by Israel while seeking food or other essentials to 516, with more than 3,799 wounded.

--------------------

Also in Gaza this morning:

------------------
The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza says Israeli attacks over the past 24 hours have left 79 people dead, including five whose bodies were recovered from under rubble.

Another 289 people were wounded and brought to hospitals.

Health officials say many victims remain trapped under debris or are lying in the open, with emergency crews unable to reach them.

------------------

In the West Bank, Israel is bulding an underground tunnel, splitting the West Bank in two. Palestinians who want to travel from one place to another in the WB will have to use the tunnel, while Israelis will continue to be allowed to travel freely on the roads [Note how Israel is paying for this project - with funds stolen from the Palestinians.]:

-----------------

Israel is building a tunnel to cut off Palestinians from the heart of the West Bank

Israel is constructing tunnels that Palestinians will be required to pass through in the heart of the West Bank, making large parts of the occupied territory accessible only to Israelis. The aim is to remove the Palestinian presence around Jerusalem.

One underground tunnel will soon be the only connection between 1.5 million Palestinians in the southern West Bank and the rest of the territory. This recently approved infrastructure plan, dubbed the ā€œFabric of Lifeā€ project, would effectively split the West Bank into two.

Transportation for Palestinians in the Bethlehem and Hebron governorates to Jericho in the Jordan Valley would go through a new underground tunnel Israel is planning to build to bypass the wilderness east of Jerusalem. What this means is that the entire space between Jerusalem and the edges of the Jordan Valley would become accessible to Israelis only.

The project, approved by the Israeli government earlier this month, will cost $90 billion, which Israel plans to cover from a special fund it feeds with pirated Palestinian customs money collected on behalf of the Palestinian Authority (PA). These funds are ostensibly meant for development projects for the Palestinian population in the West Bank, but the project isn’t about the improvement of Palestinian transportation — it’s about the consolidation of Israeli control over the geographic area of the West Bank east of Jerusalem. The Fabric of Life project would effectively ban any Palestinian circulation in this zone. [...]

https://mondoweiss.net/2025/06/israel-is-building-a-tunnel-to-cut-off-palestinians-from-the-heart-of-the-west-bank/

-------------------

And a personal note - why hasn't Iran said anything about Gaza and the Palestinians? It's at the heart of the issue, seems to me. They could have insisted it be part of any cease-fire deal. Okay, to be fair, the Trump 'cease-fire' is just a tweet, but still....bring it up over and over and keep bombing until the demand is addressed.

Israel is not allowing any photos of Israel after being bombed. If they did, we'd surely see why they wanted a cease-fire.

Heart broken; my personal, family, cultural and Christian links with Nazareth go back to the early 1970s, focused on the then Vicar of Nazareth and later Anglican Bishop of Jerusalem, Riah abu el-Assal ... many visits and exchange visits with its people over the years. TRAGIC, truly tragic

One can only hope. I am concerned, however, by how quickly the media (in the US) began drooling over even the hint of a new war to jibber-jabber about, without any evidence of even minimal thought put into it. I do hope the public is a bit more circumspect and aware than the media takes them to be.

Lots of idiots around and so many of them are actually running countries now. Frightful that more people don't see how deranged and stupid this period of history is.

Here is a sobering reminder of the potential toll the Palestinians in Gaza have suffered thus far. Who knows what the true number is, and who knows if we will ever know. But someday there will be a reckoning for this barbaric inhumanity.

🚨HEARTBREAKING: Baby Munir Al-Qarinawi was killed in his mother’s arms during an Israeli airstrike that wiped out their home and took the lives of 8 family members in Gaza.

He was named after his grandfather, also killed in the same war.

All the scenarios since before Trump took office seem like a big circus to overshadow the events in Gaza
So that the world doesn't see Israel exterminate an entire population in the worst possible ways
What victory is being celebrated? They're still winning and humanity is losing

There is no complete victory and no complete joy without Gaza

Gaza is the main issue. It is the beating heart. When Gaza rejoices, we will rejoice, and when Gaza triumphs, all of humanity will triumph.

BREAKING: analysis of Israel’s own data "shows it murdered 377,000 Palestinians during genocide so far – half of them kids"

"....=But Yaakov Garb's report for Harvard Dataverse has analyzed the irsaeli military's own data, and combined these with careful spatial mapping to reveal a demographic horror story: almost 400,,000 people o- at least 377,000 - have disappeared from Gaza's pre-genocide populatin of 2.227 million..."

BREAKING: at 400,000 and growing, far more Palestinians have been killed in Gaza than the combined total of deaths from Hiroshima, Nagasaki, and Dresden in World War II.. yet media remain silent on tripartite genocide by Israel, US, and UK 🧵

1. 'Enough already of the media’s lazy indifference to the vast undercount of the Palestinian death toll from Netanyahu’s genocidal daily bombing and shelling of Gaza’s defenseless civilian population'

'400,000 and growing..'

BREAKING: two thirds to three quarters of a million people in Gaza now killed, wounded, or at life-threatening risk from hunger or chronic illness due to Israel-US-UK tripartite genocide

5. What we are witnessing in Palestine is the monstrous intent to do away with an entire people and a whole environment in order to consolidate US-led imperial interests in the face of anti-colonial resistance, and to capitalise on oil and gas projects

Britain has flown 50 spy missions over Gaza in support of Israel since December.

All these flights have gone from UK’s air base on Cyprus, RAF Akrotiri.

The media is not letting you know the truth: this is a tripartite genocide in Gaza. US-UK-Israel.
