"Dr Ahmed al-Farra, a senior doctor at the Nasser medical complex in Khan Younis, witnessed the arrival of some of the remains.

“I was able to see three bodies when they were transferred to the Nasser hospital. They had bullets in their chest and head. They were executed. They had their hands tied,’’ Farra said. “They tied them so they were unable to move and then they killed them.”"

#Israel Leveled Gaza — Then Killed the Drone Journalists Who Showed it to the World

Only drones can begin to capture the scale of destruction in the Gaza Strip. The journalists doing it were targeted again and again.

Hoda Osman, Youssr Youssef
March 27 2025, 3:00 a.m.

"According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, or CPJ, the war is the deadliest conflict for journalists since the group began keeping records. At least 165 #Palestinian journalists have been killed — more than the number of journalists killed during six years of World War II.

As the toll on journalists grew, #drone journalists suffered a proportionately huge loss.
...around 10 drone journalists were working in #Gaza at the outset of the war. Five have been killed..."

STOP THE GENOCIDE!

"For over 16 months, #Gaza has endured a brutal, ongoing genocide carried out by #Israel with the full backing and support of the US government. Israel continued to violate the terms of the ceasefire reached on January 19th, breaking it over 980 times...

The movement against genocide in North America has risen time and time again in support of Gaza and will not rest now. The #Trump administration, building on the tactics of the Biden administration, is now increasing its attempts to silence pro- #Palestine, anti-genocide voices. "
