🚨BREAKING: A large number of displaced families are fleeing their tents in the Orphans Camp area of Al-Bureij refugee camp in central Gaza after Israeli evacuation warnings ahead of expected bombardment.
Families spent the night out in the open, gripped by fear, with nowhere safe to go as yet another forced displacement unfolds in Gaza.
ISRAELI FORCES SHOT AND KILLED A BABY IN THE OCCUPIED WEST BANK.
A baby.
Is there going to be wall-to-wall coverage and condemnations or will it be largely overlooked because the baby is Palestinian?
Israeli Forces Open Fire on Stopped Car, Killing 7-Month-Old BABY
The family was driving from Bethlehem to visit relatives when soldiers fired on their vehicle in Tel Rumeida. A bullet struck infant Sam Fahd Abu Haikal in the jaw, exited the other side of his body, and went on to wound his mother. His father was hit too.
The grandmother says the car was at a COMPLETE STOP, roughly ten meters from the soldier, when the shooting started. She insists the family did nothing, and cannot say why fire was opened on them.
The Palestinian health ministry confirmed the baby died. There is NO JUSTIFICATION for this

Soumaya Ghannoushi, writer and expert in Middle East politics, says that the ceasefire in Gaza is a deception designed to lower public scrutiny while the conflict continues. She notes that around 1,000 Palestinians have been killed since the ceasefire was announced, with air strikes and the destruction of civilian shelters persisting during Eid.
The absence of meaningful accountability, she says, has bred arrogance and escalation.
