Israel's Score Against Gaza Stands at 26 to 0

(GAZA) - Sounds like a game doesn't it? Too bad it is the farthest thing in life from it. Israel's attacks on Gaza have continued for days now, among dozens of injuries, 26 Palestinians are dead and Israel admits it killed four civilians.

No Israelis are dead, and we learn that in typical fashion, Israel has managed to ensure that 15% of its victims in this rounds of attacks on 'terrorists' are children under the age of 15.

Israel is raising the stakes in its game of global aggression and its terror campaign against Palestine strongly relies on an unspoken western media agreement, that only the stories Israel approves will air or be published. That keeps the advertising dollars rolling in, or stops them in their tracks with calls of 'antisemitism' if anyone dares criticize Israel's military butchery.

As we learn in this latest roundup of news headlines from the last 24-hours in Gaza, published on the Website for Ezzedeen AL-Qassam Brigades - Palestine, the military wing of the Islamic resistance movement Hamas, we learn that Israel's attacks are having adverse impacts on human beings locally, and impacting international perceptions.

We recently published a statement by Amnesty International calling for an end to the current hostilities. What happens remains to be seen.

Quds Brigades: Calm only at resistance’s conditions

Al Qassam website - The armed wing of Islamic Jihad movement, the Quds Brigades, has affirmed that calm would be only restored according to Palestinian resistance’s conditions.

Addressing a press conference in Gaza on Monday, the Brigades said that rockets would continue to fall on Israeli targets as long as the Israeli military escalation did not stop, reminding that Israel was the one that breeched the calm.

The armed wing asked those mediating for calm to address their mediation to Israel and not the resistance that was defending the people.

It lashed out at the Israeli occupation forces for blasting indiscriminate targets in Gaza killing civilians and schoolchildren and shelling houses.
