Several tens have been killed in Israeli attacks against northern Gaza at night. According to Hamas-affiliated media, at least 66 were killed when Israel bombed at least five densely populated houses in the Beit Lahiya refugee camp. The head of the Kamal Adwan hospital in Gaza, Hussam Abu Safia, tells Al-Jazeera that most of those killed in the attack were women and children, and that there are still more trapped under the ruins of the houses. – Most of the people who have come in were asleep when they were killed, he says. The Kamal Adwan hospital has been attacked by Israel’s military several times. In October, several employees at the hospital were abducted and imprisoned, among them Mohammad Obaid, who is still in captivity. – We are constantly losing the wounded who could have been saved, after 45 of the hospital’s staff were arrested. Food and water won’t get through, says Safia. Northern Gaza has been under Israeli siege for more than six weeks. Several attacks The attack on Beit Lahiya took place shortly after an attack on the neighborhood of Sheikh Radwan, where 22 are said to have been killed, according to Al-Jazeera. On Wednesday, it was reported that at least 48 were killed in several different Israeli attacks in Gaza, including on a UN school in the Nuseirat camp, writes NTB. Among them was a rescue worker.

USA: Proposal to stop arms deliveries In the USA, a large majority in the Senate last night voted to block several bills that would have stopped some of the arms exports to Israel. Independent Senator Bernie Sanders and several Democratic senators presented three proposals to stop the transfer of certain types of offensive weapons and ammunition for tanks and grenade launchers. 79 out of 100 voted against.

At a press conference ahead of the vote, he also said that the US is complicit in the fact that thousands of children are affected by starvation and malnutrition in Gaza. Those who voted against, including the Democrats’ majority leader Chuck Schumer, pointed out that Israel is surrounded by enemies who want to wipe out the country, and must defend itself. Sanders’ team has prepared a fact sheet in which they write that American ammunition and “smart bombs” called Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMS) are used indiscriminately in Gaza, and that they believe these account for “many of the 40,543 killed and 94,000 injured so far ». CNN and several other media have reported that Israel has used US-made JDAMS in attacks that have killed several Palestinians. Published 21.11.2024, at 08.18 Updated 21.11.2024, at 08.35
