Gaza: 7,028 Palestinians killed by Israeli bombing, 1,600 Israelis killed by Hamas in 24 hours


The Palestinian Ministry of Health in the Gaza Strip announced today (26/10) that Israeli bombings in the area have killed 7,028 people, including 2,913 children and 1,709 women, 18,484 people were injured.

For their part, Israelis are mourning at least 1,600 dead, including many children, as a result attacks October 7, as well as hundreds of wounded. In essence, we are talking about zeroing out the value of human life on both sides.

The war between Israel and the Islamist Palestinian movement Hamas, now in its 20th day, is the bloodiest since Israel’s unilateral withdrawal from the tiny Palestinian enclave in 2005, two years before Hamas came to power. Hamas announced the death of 50 Israeli hostages from attacks on Gaza…

The Turks gave an assessment of Israeli aviation losses since October 7:

  • 7 damaged AH-64 Apache helicopters
  • 2 damaged F-16 fighters,
  • 1 heavily damaged F-16
  • 1 destroyed CH-53D Sea Stallion helicopter,
  • 12 UAVs

Turkish politician Temel Karamollaoglu: “The US is no longer our ally, the Kyurechik base should be closed.” Erdogan: “Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip are barbaric and have already crossed the threshold of self-defense. Western countries unconditionally supply Israel with weapons instead of calling for calm, and ignore the violation of international law because the blood shed is the blood of Muslims.”

The Washington Post reports some interesting things:

US President Biden is investigating the possibility of striking Iran’s satellites in the Middle East.

The administration, concerned about attacks on American bases, may soon launch attacks on pro-Iranian groups in response.

While Republican members of Congress believe the retaliatory move will be in favor of the United States, Democrats behind closed doors have expressed fears that new conflicts could arise.

The conflict is gaining momentum…
