Israel\u2019s retaliatory airstrikes across the Gaza Strip after Hamas\u2019 weekend attack have killed at least 1,100 people in the besieged enclave, including 326 children, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said<\/a> Wednesday.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Gaza-based Hamas launched a major surprise attack against Israel on Saturday, a Jewish holiday, and the Israeli death toll has now surpassed<\/a> 1,200. The far-right Israeli government and Israel Defense Forces (IDF) responded with Operation Swords of Iron, bombing Gazan residential, medical, and educational buildings, and intensifying a 16-year blockade of the region.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Defense for Children International \u2013 Palestine (DCIP), which has documented cases of over 2,400 Palestinian kids killed by Israeli forces and settlers since 2000, has so far confirmed<\/a> 105 of the 326 deaths.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIntensive Israeli bombardment throughout the Gaza Strip, lack of electricity, Israeli airstrikes on telecommunications infrastructure, and the unprecedented rate of daily child fatalities has resulted in a lag between confirmed fatalities by DCIP and the overall total child fatalities published regularly by the Ministry of Health in Gaza,\u201d the group said.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Responding to the new Ministry of Health figure, Yonah Lieberman, a co-founder of the American Jewish group IfNotNow, asked<\/a> on social media, \u201cWhere is the outrage we saw when Israeli children were killed?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

DCIP\u2019s Miranda Cleland said<\/a> that from her time with the organization, she has learned that \u201call the dead Palestinian babies in Gaza won\u2019t humanize Palestinians to the Israeli war machine, funded by the U.S. government, cheering on their killings.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
