GAZA/ BEIRUT. DAMASCUS: Palestinians and Lebanese mourned their dead after Israeli forces killed 36 people in a single attack on Jabalia in northern Gaza and 23 people in another strike on the village of Almat, north of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut.
Medical sources in Gaza said Israeli forces killed at least 49 Palestinians across the enclave on Sunday. In Lebanon, the Health Ministry put the day’s toll from Israeli attacks at 38 people.
Israeli forces also bombed Syria’s capital, Damascus, raiding a residential building and killing at least seven people, according to the Syrian Ministry of Defence.
Israel’s genocide in Gaza has killed at least 43,603 Palestinians and wounded 102,929 since October 7, 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 taken captive.
In Lebanon, at least 3,189 people have been killed and 14,078 wounded in Israeli attacks since the war on Gaza began.
Israeli forces have carried out a series of attacks across Lebanon, including in the south and the eastern city of Baalbek. At least 9 people were killed in those strikes and at least 23 people have been killed in a strike on a house in the village of Almat, north of Beirut. Seven children are among the dead. Rescue teams are searching for people trapped under rubble.
An Arabic journalist Salam Khodr reports from Almat in Jbeil district, Lebanon.
The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) says that Israel’s attack on Jabalia killed 24 members of the family of its researcher, Mohammed Aloush.
“These innocent civilians were killed while they were sleeping and suffering from starvation,” the rights group said, adding that the victims included “14 children and 6 women, some of whom suffer from disabilities”.
“This is the story of every hour in Gaza as a number of western governments continue their complicity in the ongoing genocide by supplying Israel with arms instead of pressuring it to implement an immediate ceasefire,” PCHR added in a statement on X.
As we reported earlier, at least 36 people were killed in the Sunday morning attack.
