As the Israeli military’s offensive in the Gaza Strip intensifies, civilian casualties are increasing.
Although the number of Palestinian victims was calculated to have exceeded 9,400, even the United States’ request to cease hostilities was rejected.

″Where is the United Nations? The shelter has never been attacked in any war. It’s unfair.″
Civilian casualties are rapidly increasing as ambulance trains, hospitals, and even schools are targeted.
The Gaza Strip’s Ministry of Health claimed that “10 large-scale massacres occurred in just one day, killing 231 people,” and that “the number of Palestinian victims since the start of the seven-day war last month has exceeded 9,400.”
In particular, it was reported that among these, “2,900 are children and 2,500 are women.”
70% of the victims are children, women, and the elderly.
Israel admits the airstrike, but maintains that there is no problem because it attacked Hamas members.
U.S. Secretary of State Tony Blinken, who had proposed a temporary cessation of hostilities to Israel but was rejected, failed to reach a clear agreement in meetings with Arab leaders.
Instead, he urged, “Israel must do everything possible to prevent civilian casualties.”
However, Israel is showing moves to further expand the ground war.
The Chief of Staff visited the Gaza Strip in person wearing military uniform, and the Minister of Defense said, “We will definitely remove the leader of the Gaza Strip, so the residents of the Gaza Strip should also come forward.”
