DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (Dispatches) — Israel pressed ahead Tuesday with its new military onslaught on Gaza despite mounting international criticism, launching airstrikes that health officials said killed at least 85 Palestinians.
The Zionist regime launched its new military invasion of Gaza over the weekend, saying it aims to return dozens of captives held by Hamas and destroy the resistance group.
More than 600 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli strikes in the past four days, according to Dr. Marwan Al-Hams, director of Gaza’s field hospitals.
A leader of center-left politics in the occupied territories said Tuesday that Israel was becoming an “outcast” because of the entity’s approach to the war.
“A sane entity doesn’t engage in fighting against civilians, doesn’t kill babies as a hobby and doesn’t set for itself the goals of expelling a population,” Yair Golan, a retired general and leader of the opposition Democrats party, told Reshet Bet radio.
His comments were rare criticism from inside Occupied Palestine of its wartime conduct in Gaza. Many settlers have criticized Netanyahu throughout the war, but that has been mostly limited to what opponents argue are his political motives to continue the war. Criticism over the war’s toll on Palestinian civilians has been almost unheard.
Comparing Israel’s actions to those of South Africa’s during the decades of apartheid, the longtime critic of Netanyahu, the Zionists “are the ones now taking actions that are utterly unconscionable”.
Netanyahu swiftly slammed Golan’s remarks, calling them “wild incitement” against Israeli soldiers and accusing him of echoing “disgraceful antisemitic blood libels”.
Former Israeli prime minister Ehud Barak called Golan “a brave, direct man,” adding that his

comments referred to Israel’s political leaders.

Golan previously sparked an uproar in the occupied territories when as deputy military chief of staff in 2016, he likened the atmosphere in Israel to that of Nazi-era Germany.

Over recent days, Israel has issued evacuation orders for Gaza’s second-largest city, Khan Yunis, which endured a previous onslaught that left vast destruction.

In the latest assaults, two strikes in northern Gaza hit a family home and a school-turned-shelter, killing at least 22 people, more than half of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

A strike in the central city of Deir al-Balah killed 13 people, and another in the nearby built-up Nuseirat refugee camp killed 15, according to al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital.

Two strikes in Khan Yunis killed 10 people, according to Nasser Hospital.

Israel’s war, which has destroyed large swaths of Gaza, has killed more than 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry.

Around 14,000 babies in Gaza could die in the next 48 hours if aid trucks did not reach the population, UN humanitarian chief Tom Fletcher told the BBC on Tuesday.

In an earlier post on X, Fletcher confirmed the entry of five aid trucks into Gaza, calling the convoy “a drop in the ocean of what is urgently needed.”

But Amjad Al-Shawa, chairman of the NGO Network, said Tuesday that no aid had been distributed so far as the trucks remained parked near the Kerem Shalom border crossing.
