At least 60 Palestinians killed in Gaza as Netanyahu vows to ‘finish job’

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu promised to “finish the job” against Hamas in a speech at the UN General Assembly in New York, as Israel’s military has killed dozens more Palestinians in Gaza recently.

According to medical sources, 60 people were killed on Friday in Palestinian territory that had been under siege and bombarded.

Israel has launched ground operations in Gaza City on September 16 and has since killed at least 30 of the victims there.

On Friday, bombs were fired at locations like al-Wehda Street, the Shati camp, and the Nassr neighborhood. The west of the city’s residential Remal neighborhood was also targeted by one attack.

According to Ibrahim al-Khalili of Al Jazeera, the attack occurred without any prior notice, and that Palestinian civilians were searching through the rubble of a building to find survivors as medical personnel removed the bodies of the dead.

According to al-Khalili, “this residential neighborhood is still crowded with many residents who have chosen to stay.”

In light of the growing number of Israeli attacks aimed at various locations and sites, he continued, “the situation has gone from bad to worse.”

Israel has launched an air strike every eight or nine minutes over the past 24 hours, according to UN spokesman Stephane Dujarric, citing the Office of the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA).

Palestinian medical sources added to the deaths caused by Israeli airstrikes by confirming that 13 people were killed on Friday in an effort to access aid from GHF, a controversial organization supported by Israel and the United States.

Netanyahu resolute

Netanyahu attacked the nations that have granted Palestinian statehood this week in a defiant speech at the UN headquarters.

Earlier than he spoke, delegates were protesting the atrocities committed by Israel in Gaza in protest.

He claimed that loudspeakers were playing his words throughout parts of Gaza during his speech.

Before he issued a warning to Hamas members to lay down their weapons and release the remaining captives, the Israeli prime minister even claimed that his speech was being broadcast to Gaza residents’ phones.

However, this is not the case, according to Randa Hanoun, 30, a Palestinian who has fled to Deir el-Balah in the center of Gaza.

We didn’t hear any loudspeakers, Hanoun said, and we haven’t received any messages or anything on the phone.

US President Donald Trump claimed on Friday that he was close to negotiating a deal to end the war and bring the captives home as fighting continues on the ground and Netanyahu shows no signs of stopping the offensive.

“We appear to have reached a deal with Gaza,” he said. The hostages will be released, in my opinion. Trump stated to reporters at the White House, “We will strike a deal that brings the war to an end.” He provided no details or schedule. On Monday, Trump is scheduled to meet with Netanyahu.

“Encircled by Israeli forces”

A medical source in the Strip also reported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza that a 17-year-old boy had died from starvation and lack of care.

According to the Palestinian Ministry of Health, which reported that 147 of the victims were children, the boy’s death underscores the worsening humanitarian and health crisis in Gaza. At least 440 malnutrition-related deaths have been reported.

The charity Doctors without Borders (known by its French acronym as MSF) announced on Friday that Israeli tanks and airstrikes near its clinics were putting an “unacceptable level of risk” on the part of its staff and patients.

The Israeli forces are encircling our clinics, which is the last thing we wanted, according to Jacob Granger, MSF’s emergency coordinator in Gaza.

Last week, the organization reported that it had treated patients for malnutrition, trauma injuries, and maternal care in more than 3, 640 consultations.

Palestinians are still trapped in Gaza City, according to MSF, and hospitals across the region are overburdened with staff and supplies.

The UN’s humanitarian coordinator, Tom Fletcher, also spoke about the grim conditions in Gaza, where many Palestinians are famined.

According to Fletcher, “We’re still dealing with these terrible obstacles, impediments to delivering aid,” the Israeli government said.
