Thursday, 15 January, 2026

The killing of approximately 1,200 people by Hamas in Israel on October 7, 2023, was followed by a genocidal war in which the Israeli Defense Forces have, according to recent reports, killed over 67,000 Palestinians — nearly a third of them children. Israel’s military hasdamaged or destroyed more than 90% of homes in Gaza and left countless people with life-altering physical and psychological injuries.
