At least 60 people were killed by the latest Israeli strikes across Gaza in a 24-hour period, Gaza’s health ministry said Friday.
Israeli MP Ayman Odeh was forcibly removed from the podium in the parliament after he denounced Israel’s war in Gaza amid the rising death toll.
“After a year and a half in which you killed 19000 children, 53,000 residents, destroyed all the universities and the hospitals, you feel there is no political win, that’s why you go crazy,” he says before being removed from the podium
His speech created chaos in the parliament. A video shows the MP speaking in the parliament as others oppose. Moments later, he was removed from the podium. He kept speaking as he was being taken away.
Meanwhile, in the latest update, at least 60 people were killed by Israeli strikes across Gaza in a 24-hour period, Gaza’s health ministry said Friday.
The deceased include 10 people in the southern city of Khan Younis, four in the central town of Deir al-Balah and nine in the Jabaliya refugee camp in the north, according to the Nasser, Al-Aqsa and Al-Ahli hospitals where the bodies were brought.
Amid the ongoing war, Israel has blocked humanitarian aid to Gaza for nearly three months, prompting growing alarm from international observers. Experts warn that much of Gaza’s population—over 2 million people—is now at severe risk of famine.
Even the United States, Israel’s closest ally, has expressed concern over the escalating hunger crisis.
The latest wave of airstrikes, which continued into Friday morning, followed a deadly assault on a hospital in northern Gaza. Israeli tanks and drones reportedly targeted the facility, sparking fires and causing extensive destruction.
