“The rocket struck them. There were no wanted or targeted people there and there was nobody else in the street. Just the children who were killed,” said Mohammed Zanoun, a relative of the dead children.
Among the dead were two journalist siblings – Ahmad Abu Sakhil and Zahra Abu Sakhil – together with their father, Muhammad. The number of journalists killed since October 2023 stands at 188.
NOTE: The UN Human Rights Office recently stated that it has found close to 70 per cent of the dead in Gaza to be children and women, indicating a systematic violation of the fundamental principles of international humanitarian law, including distinction and proportionality.
Israeli forces execute three Gaza detainees shortly after release
Israeli occupation forces executed three Palestinians from the Gaza Strip this afternoon, shortly after releasing them from detention. The men had been detained during Israel’s military offensive on northern Gaza in early October.
According to local sources and eyewitnesses, the detainees were freed from Israeli custody at the Zikim military base near the northern Gaza border. After their release, the Israeli navy targeted the three men with gunfire from warships as they were near Al-Khalidi Mosque, along the coastal road northwest of Gaza City.
The victims, identified as two elderly men, Ali and Nadi Ma’arouf, and young man Hamza Al-Hato, were transferred to the Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, where their bodies were received.

Ethnic cleansing taking place during news void in north Gaza: Media group
The New York-based Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) says Israel has stepped up systematic attacks on journalists and media infrastructure since the start of its northern Gaza campaign.
Israeli strikes killed at least five journalists in October and Israeli forces began a smear campaign against six Al Jazeera journalists reporting on the north, it said.
“There are now almost no professional journalists left in the north to document what several international institutions have described as an ethnic cleansing campaign. Israel has not allowed international media independent access to Gaza in the 13 months since the war began,” CPJ said in a statement.
“It seems clear that the systematic attacks on the media and campaign to discredit those few journalists who remain is a deliberate tactic to prevent the world from seeing what Israel is doing there,” said CPJ Program Director Carlos Martinez de la Serna.
“Reporters are crucial in bearing witness during a war, without them the world won’t be able to write history.”

Israeli Soldiers Kill A Palestinian In Tubas
On Saturday, Israeli soldiers killed a Palestinian and injured two others in ‘Aqqaba town, north of Tubas, in the occupied West Bank’s northeastern part.
Media sources reported that the invasion was initially conducted by undercover soldiers who surrounded a home while military helicopters and drones flew overhead and over several areas of Tubas.
The sources added that the soldiers attacked the surrounded home with live fire, causing extensive damage, killing Adham Zayed Ezzat Al-Masri, 25, before taking his body away.
The soldiers also fired barrages of live rounds during the invasion, wounding a 50-year-old Palestinian with a live round to the chest. Medics rushed him to a hospital where his wounds were described as serious.
Additionally, the soldiers assaulted another 49-year-old Palestinian, causing lacerations and bruises to several parts of his body.
Since the beginning of the Israeli military onslaught against the Gaza Strip on October 7, 2023, Israeli forces have killed 781 Palestinians in the West Bank, including 167 children, and injured 6,300.

NYT: Israeli officials briefed Jared Kushner on Gaza war for several months
For several months, Israeli officials have given briefings about the war in Gaza to Jared Kushner, Mr. Trump’s son-in-law, who worked on Middle East issues during his first term, and David Friedman, who served as Mr. Trump’s ambassador to Israel, said two Israeli officials, who spoke on the condition of anonymity to discuss sensitive meetings.

STATISTICS OCTOBER 7, 2023 – NOVEMBER 9, 2024:
Palestinian death toll from October 7, 2023 – November 9, 2024: at least 44,384* ( 43,603 in Gaza* – 69% are women and children, according to Gaza’s Media Office). [The Ministry’s figures have been contested by the Israeli authorities, although they have been accepted as accurate by Israeli intelligence services, the UN, and WHO. These data are supported by independent analyses, comparing changes in the number of deaths of UN Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA) staff with those reported by the Ministry, which found claims of data fabrication implausible.]
This is expected to be a significant undercount since thousands of those killed have yet to be identified. This does not include an estimated 10,000 more in Gaza still buried under rubble (4,900 women and children).
In the West Bank, Israeli soldiers and/or settlers have killed at least 781 Palestinians (~167 of them children).
In July 2024, the Lancet said: “Applying a conservative estimate of four indirect deaths per one direct death to the 37,396 deaths reported, it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186,000 or even more deaths could be attributable to the current conflict in Gaza.
Ralph Nader earlier estimated 300,000 Palestinians may have been killed in Gaza.
At least 60 Palestinians have died in Israeli prisons.
At least 41 Palestinians have died due to malnutrition (at least 37 of them children)**.
About 1.9 million of Gaza’s 2.3 million population are currently displaced.
About 345,000 Gazans are currently experiencing catastrophic levels of food insecurity.
Palestinian injuries from October 7 – November 9, 2024: at least 109,229 (including at least 102,929 in Gaza and 6,300 in the West Bank, including 830 children). [It remains unknown how many Americans are among the casualties in Gaza.]
Reported Israeli death toll from October 7, 2023 – November 9, 2024: ~1,574 (~1,139 on October 7, 2023, of which ~32 were Americans, and ~36 were children); 396*** military forces since the ground invasion began in Gaza (most recent: Nov 2); 39 military and civilians in the West Bank, East Jerusalem, and Israel) and~10,000 injured.
The death toll in Lebanon since October 8, 2023 is at least 3,136, with 13,979 injuries. An estimated 1.34 million have been displaced.
NOTE: It is unknown at this time how many of the deaths and injuries of Israelis on October 7 were caused by Israeli soldiers.
*Previously, IAK did not include 471 Gazans killed in the Al Ahli hospital blast since the source of the projectile was being disputed. However, given that much evidence points to Israel as the culprit, Israel had previously bombed the hospital and has attacked many others, Israel is prohibiting outside experts from investigating the scene, and since the UN and other agencies are including the deaths from the attack in their cumulative totals, if Americans knew is now also doing so.
**Euro-Med Monitor reports that Gaza’s elderly are dying at an alarmingly high rate. The majority die at home and are buried either close to their residences or in makeshift graves dispersed across the Strip. There are currently more than 140 such cemeteries. Additionally, according to Euromed, thousands have died from starvation, malnourishment, and inadequate medical care; these are considered indirect victims as they were not registered in hospitals.
***The figure does not include the reportedly 56 Israeli soldiers – nearly 16% of the total Israeli military deaths – killed due to friendly fire in Gaza and other military-related accidents.
† For most of the conflict, women and children accounted for about 70% of deaths in Gaza, with children making up a little over 40% of those killed, according to official statistics.
