At least 274 Palestinians were killed and 698 wounded in Israeli strikes on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, Gaza’s health ministry said on Sunday. The Israeli military said its forces came under heavy fire during the daytime operation.
The EU’s top diplomat, Josep Borrell, called it a “massacre”, while the UN’s aid chief described in graphic detail scenes of “shredded bodies on the ground”.
“Nuseirat refugee camp is the epicentre of the seismic trauma that civilians in Gaza continue to suffer,” Martin Griffiths said in a post on X, calling for a ceasefire and the release of all hostages.
Indiscriminately? No. Without adequate or acceptable levels of discrimination? Absolutely.
That’s not what I was responding to, though. I was responding to your writing that the Israelis lied about coming under heavy fire because they didn’t take heavy losses. The IDF has been known to lie, but that doesn’t make everything they say a lie. And your rationale for saying it was untrue makes no sense.
