Israeli Bombardment of Gaza Continues into Saturday, Killing at Least 34 Overnight
Picture
The Israeli bombardment of Gaza continued through Friday night into Saturday with no signs of letting up. At least 34 were killed in the bombings Saturday night, which included a missile strike that wiped out a family – a mother and her four young children in Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City. In addition, Israel targeted and destroyed a second high-rise housing international media outlets, destroying it completely including TV studios, equipment and transmission antennas.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, at least 139 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since Monday, including at least 39 children and 22 women, and over 1000 others wounded. One Israeli soldier and 6 Israeli civilians have been killed in the same time period, including two children.

The Palestinian family that was wiped out Friday night was that of Mohammed al-Hadidi (Abu Hatab). He told reporters that his wife and five children had gone to celebrate the Eid al-Fitr holiday with his wife’s brother. His wife and three of his children, age 6 to 14, were killed, while an 11-year-old is missing. Only his 5-month-old son Omar is known to have survived.

“At 1:30 in the morning, I was surprised by severe vibration and shelling in the area, and I ran to see where the bombing was, I did not know where, and I was shocked when I saw the whole house of the children’s maternal uncle destroyed.”

He continued, tears streaming down his face, “This is a major crime against humanity. Children are supposed safe in their homes. A civilian family is killed. What is their fault for being bombed?”

The Al-Hadidi family that was killed last night consists of his wife: Maha Mohammad Abd al-Aal al-Hadidi (Abu Hatab), and his children Suhaib Muhammad al-Hadidi (14 years), Yahya Mohammad al-Hadidi (11 years), Abd al-Rahman Mohammad al-Hadidi (8 years) and Osama Mohammad al-Hadidi (6 years), and the only survivor Omar Muhammad al-Hadidi, injured, aged five months.

Mohammad al-Yaqoubi, an eyewitness, described the bombing of his neighbor’s house, “We were sleeping and suddenly we heard the sound of intense bombardment. I live on the fifth floor and only a meter away from their house. When I managed to reach the ground, I was shocked by the destruction of our neighbor’s house. Children, oh God, where are mercy and humanity, a whole house destroyed in a brutal manner over people! ”

Several other families were also torn to pieces in their homes Friday night. In al-Boreij refugee camp, four family members of the al-Omar family were killed, including a 13-year old girl. In Beit Lahia, four members of the Amen family were massacred by a missile. In the al-Jneina neighborhood in Rafah, four members of the al-Rantisi family were killed, including a two-year old baby.

AP Condemns Israeli Bombing of Its Media Offices in Gaza
Picture
Early Saturday morning, the Israeli airforce dropped a missile on a highrise building in Gaza City housing the offices of numerous international media outlets, demolishing it completely and reducing it to rubble.

The head of the Associated Press worldwide stated, “The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today.”

While Israeli officials claimed “the building was used by Hamas for cover”, they offered no evidence to support this claim. Israeli forces have been found in the past by international human rights investigations to have repeatedly targeted journalists, medics, schools, libraries and cultural centers while using ‘Hamas’ as a wholesale excuse, but offering no evidence.

In fact, one Human Rights Watch report found in its investigation of a similar Israeli bombardment of media outlets in 2012 that the Israeli military stated outright that it was targeting media outlets because they were not critical enough of the Hamas party in their coverage.

“A Human Rights Watch visit to the building one week after the strikes and interviews with employees from four of the five offices, including al-Sawaf, uncovered no information to suggest that any of them were used for military operations. In the absence of a demonstrated military objective, the strikes over two days were unlawful attacks on civilian objects, Human Rights Watch said.”

The building destroyed on Saturday May 15th, 2021 was well-known as the home of internationally renowned media outlets including the Associated Press and Al Jazeera.

The Associated Press President and CEO Gary Pruitt issued the following statement Saturday about the bombing of their offices:

“We are shocked and horrified that the Israeli military would target and destroy the building housing AP’s bureau and other news organizations in Gaza. They have long known the location of our bureau and knew journalists were there. We received a warning that the building would be hit.
“We are seeking information from the Israeli government and are engaged with the U.S. State Department to try to learn more.

“This is an incredibly disturbing development. We narrowly avoided a terrible loss of life. A dozen AP journalists and freelancers were inside the building and thankfully we were able to evacuate them in time.

“The world will know less about what is happening in Gaza because of what happened today.”

This is the second media high-rise this week that the Israeli military has destroyed in its massive bombardment of the Gaza Strip. On Wednesday night, Israeli bombs targeted and reduced to rubble the al-Jawhara tower building in Gaza, which housed a number of international media outlets.

On Thursday, the International Federation of Journalists condemned the wholesale destruction of media offices by the Israeli military, stating “On the night of 11 May, the Israeli military bombed the Al-Jawhara tower, located in Gaza, which hosts the offices of 13 media institutions and NGOs.

The PJS said the attack was deliberate and targeted. There were no injuries as journalists evacuated their offices after the Israeli army warned some of the media that the building would be bombed. However, media organisations lost their equipment. The IFJ said the Israeli government must compensate the media for their financial losses.

“The offices of the media organizations – The National Information Agency, Palestine Newspaper, Al-Arabi Channel, Al-Ittijah TV, Al-Nujaba TV, the Syrian TV, Al-Kufiya Channel, Al Mamalaka channel, APA Agency, Sabq Agency 24, Bawaba 24, the Palestinian Media Forum, the Palestinian Forum for Democratic Dialogue and Development – were completely destroyed. The offices of Al-Jazeera TV, adjacent to the targeted building, were also damaged.”

Israeli warplanes on Saturday morning bombed the house of member of Hamas’s political bureau Khalil al-Hayya in Gaza City.

According to local sources, Hayya’s house was destroyed by several air-to-surface missiles from warplanes, including a drone.

The house was located in al-Tufah neighborhood in the northeast of the Old City of Gaza.

Meanwhile, airstrikes also flattened a house belonging to the family of Shahada in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza and another home belonging to the family of Abu Watfa in western Gaza.

The Israeli artillery also fired several projectiles at swaths of agricultural land in Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.

Israeli airstrike flattens high-rise housing al-Jazeera and AP

A high-rise building that housed international media offices including al-Jazeera satellite channel and The Associated Press (AP) offices in the embattled Gaza Strip was bombed and flattened in an Israeli airstrike on Saturday afternoon. video

Live al-Jazeera video footage showed the 12-story “al-Jalaa” building, which also housed a number of residences and other offices of doctors and lawyers, crashing to the ground after being bombed as dust and debris flew into the air.

There was no immediate information about casualties in the attack.

Since the start of the Israeli aggression against Gaza, scores of tall buildings have been demolished in aerial attacks, sometimes after warning phone calls or missile “taps” by the Israeli occupation army.

A statement from al-Jazeera condemned the strike, calling on “all media and human right institutions to join forces” in denouncing the bombing and to “hold the government of Israel accountable.”

“Al Jazeera condemns in the strongest terms the bombing and destruction of its offices by the Israeli military in Gaza and views this as a clear act to stop journalists from conducting their sacred duty to inform the world and report events on the ground,” the statement read.

Earlier in the morning, Israeli warplanes bombed and flattened one apartment building, five homes, public facilities, and several fishing boats.

According to Quds Press, morning air raids destroyed an apartment building known as “al-Rawda 2” in Tel al-Hawa neighborhood in the southwest of Gaza City, a house in al-Shejaiya neighborhood in the east of the City,  another one belonging to ex-detainee Hasan al-Maqadmeh in al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza.

Other airstrikes targeted and reduced to rubble three civilian homes in Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza and in the west and east of Khan Yunis.

A small beach club and empty swaths of land in the west of Khan Yunis, southern Gaza, were also bombed in air raids.

Meanwhile, Israeli gunboats bombarded and destroyed a large number of fishing boats on Gaza Beach in the morning.

At dawn Saturday, a sudden air attack reduced to rubble a three-story civilian house in Gaza City’s Shati refugee camp, killing eight children and two women from the same family.

Israel’s massive bombardment of the Gaza Strip has entered its sixth consecutive day, claiming the lives of 140 civilians, including 39 children and 22 women, and wounding around 1,000 others, many seriously.

As Israel’s aggression escalates, the humanitarian crisis worsens steadily with thousands of Palestinian families taking shelter in UN-run schools in Gaza to escape aerial and artillery fire.

Shells were also intensively fired by the Israeli navy targeting locations offshore Gaza to the west of Gaza city and Deir al-Balah in central Gaza, setting fire to a large number of Palestinian boats and inflicting heavy losses.

At least 136 Palestinians have been killed, including 31 children and 20 women, and more than a thousand injured, including many critical cases, during the ongoing Israeli onslaught on the besieged Gaza Strip.

Gaza: Israel pounds Shati refugee camp, killing children and women

Several Palestinian children and women were killed at dawn Saturday in a new massacre committed by Israel in Gaza as its forces continued to bombard civilian homes and buildings with aerial missiles and artillery projectiles.

As of early Saturday, at least 136 Palestinians, including 37 children and 22 women, have been killed and 1,000 have been wounded since Israel started its large-scale aggression on Monday, May 10, according to the latest statistics from Gaza.

The death toll is expected to rise as another spate of Israeli airstrikes rocked at dawn the coastal Shati refugee camp in the northwest of Gaza killing at least eight children and two women in one house, while burying several others in the rubble.

The health ministry in Gaza said that ambulance crews evacuated 10 bodies and 20 injured civilians from the bombed house to Shifa Hospital. The house belonged to the family of Abu Hatab.

Several areas of Gaza , mainly Khan Yunis, came under heavy aerial and artillery bombardment after midnight and throughout the early morning hours of Saturday.

At 12:26 am, two martyrs and several wounded citizens were evacuated to Indonesian Hospital following air raids on northern Gaza. video of Israeli lie

Eight Family Members, Including Child And Mother, Killed By Israeli Missiles In Gaza

The Israeli army fired, on Saturday at dawn, several missiles at a Palestinian home in the Shati’ refugee camp, west of Gaza city, killing eight family members, including a mother and a child, and injuring more than twenty.

The Palestinian News & Info Agency (WAFA) said the Israeli Air Force fired several missiles at a three-story home, owned by the Abu Hatab family, killing eight members of the family and wounding twenty others. One child was rescued from under the rubble.

The Palestinians are still searching under the rubble trying to find more victims of the Israeli bombardment.

It is worth mentioning that the soldiers also fired missiles at a home in Sahaba Street, in the center of Gaza city.

While Israel claims it usually fires “smaller warning missiles at the targeted homes,” it largely does not do so, which is the case with the Abu Hatab family who was sleeping when the missiles struck their home.

The so-called “warning smaller missiles” also cause damage and are followed by the bigger missiles within just minutes, which does not give the families enough time to wake up, gather everybody, and run out to a safe distance.

The targeting of homes and civilian structures are acts of war crimes, violating International Law and all related resolutions and treaties.

Also at dawn, the army fired five missiles at a mosque in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza, completely leveling it, and causing damage to many surrounding homes and buildings.

The WAFA Palestinian News Agency has reported that the army also fired missiles at two homes in the same area, killing three Palestinians according to initial reports.
