Gaza Sunday: “As the day wore on, rising numbers of killings appeared, usually buried.”
News from Gaza on Sunday was dominated by the flamboyant Israeli action of allowing aid airdrops and announcing 10-hour truces in 3 areas “until further notice”. The entry of more important relief truck convoys got some attention.
As the day wore on, rising numbers of killings appeared, usually buried. CNN‘s very informative daily medley archive.is/3nIa8 reported
Al-Awda Hospital said it received 12 bodies… and treated more than 100 people who had been injured after Israeli forces opened fire near an aid point
.*A later **CBS* summary archive.is/zb3Nd#selection-1755.130-1755.229 said
Palestinian health officials in Gaza said at least 27 Palestinians were killed in separate attacks.

At least 63 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza, including 34 who were killed while waiting for aid.
The CNN medley cited above has a perceptive piece Netanyahu is ensnared in a crisis of his own creation in Gaza and another Far-right security minister says Israel should “blow up” Gaza, not allow more humanitarian aid quoting National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir:
“what should have been sent to Gaza is one thing: bombs to blow up, to conquer, to encourage emigration, and to win the war.”
The New York Times has published archive.is/Yn9AL#selection-4553.31-4553.72 and associated itself with News Organizations Urge Israel to Let Reporters and Aid Into Gaza
“…the International News Safety Institute…issued a statement calling on Israel to allow journalists in Gaza who are facing starvation to leave the enclave, and for international reporters to be allowed entry.”
“As local reporters are killed, face the threat of starvation, or try to flee, the world will be systematically cut off from witnessing what is happening.”
Gaza is doing huge damage to the reputations of Israel, and, far worse, the US.
