Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip have killed at least 19 Palestinians since dawn on Wednesday. Children were among those killed in strikes on Deir Al Balah. The dead and injured have been taken to Al Aqsa Hospital. Multiple residential buildings were targeted in the Nuseirat refugee camp. At least 8 Palestinians were killed in those attacks. In Jabalia, northern Gaza, three members of the same family were killed in an air strike on their home. And in Gaza City, a fisherman was killed on his boat.

Israel is perpetrating a “live-streamed genocide” in Gaza, committing illegal acts with the “Specific Intent” of wiping out Palestinians, Amnesty International has said.
Israeli forces in Gaza have violated the United Nations Genocide Convention with acts that include “causing serious bodily or mental harm to civilians” and “deliberately inflicting conditions of life calculated to bring about their physical destruction”, the 'Human Rights Organization' said in its annual report released on Monday.

“The World Is Watching A Live-Stream Genocide,” Amnesty’s secretary-general, Agnes Callamard, said in the introduction to the report.
“States watched on as if powerless, as Israel killed thousands upon thousands of Palestinians, wiping out entire multi-generational families, destroying homes, livelihoods, hospitals, shelters and schools.”
Israel and “its powerful allies, first among them the United States of America, claimed that or acted as if 'International Law' did not apply to them”, Callamard said.
“The situation has never been more serious for Gaza, Palestinians, Israelis and the world. We are on the edge of an abyss,” Callamard concluded.
