Children casualties of the Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip.

GAZA, Wednesday, May 12, 2021 (WAFA) –

Three days of Israeli bombardment of the Gaza Strip left 43 Palestinians dead by noon today local time, including 13 children and three women, while 296 were wounded, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in an update on the casualties.

Israel has waged dozens of airstrikes since Monday on the besieged Gaza Strip, targeting buildings and apartments that led to the heavy loss of life, mainly among civilians.

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) said four of the children killed on the first day of the airstrikes were students at its school in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza, and they were two siblings and their cousins.

International Criminal Court (ICC) Prosecutor Fatou Bensouda said today that the Israeli escalation of violence against the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank and East Jerusalem, could amount to crimes under the Rome Statute.

[Update at 1:00 p.m. (local time): 48 dead, including 14 children and three women, and 304 injured - Health Ministry].

UNRWA decries Israeli killing of four Palestine refugee students in Gaza

JERUSALEM, Wednesday, May 12, 2021 (WAFA) –

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) condemned "in the strongest possible terms" the Israeli killing on Monday of four Palestine refugee children near Beit Hanoun refugee camp in the northern Gaza Strip.

All four children came from the same family, two siblings and two cousins. They were under the age of 12 and attended UNRWA schools.

They were killed in an Israeli airstrike on Beit Hanoun that also led to the killing of 20 people, nine of them were children.

"Our hearts go out to their families and friends in communities that have been so cruelly affected by this latest escalation," said UNRWA in a press statement.

UNRWA provides critical services to more than 1.4 million Palestine refugees in Gaza and remains committed to delivering quality education to some 285,000 Palestine refugee students there. Despite the dire humanitarian conditions in the Strip, ongoing blockade and very high COVID-19 infection rates, students are still able to access an UNRWA education.

UNRWA said "it repeats its profound concern regarding the impact of the military escalation on children by placing their lives and futures at risk. Children are and must be protected under International Law and those responsible for breaching their obligations must be held fully accountable on the basis of clear evidence. The Agency yet again appeals to all parties to exercise maximum restraint and comply with their obligations under International Law in the strictest terms, including with regard to protecting the inherent right to life of children."

Israeli Forces Kill Palestinian Child in Tubas

 IMEMC, MAY 12, 2021

At dawn on Wednesday, a Palestinian child was killed by Israeli bullets in the village of Aqaba, in the district of Tubas.

Medical sources reported that the 16-year-old Rashid Muhammad Abu Ara, 16, was killed by two bullets – one in the neck and one in the chest – fired by Israeli forces invading the northern entrance of the city of Tubas, near Bethlehem.

Invading Israeli forces were met by Palestinian youth, many of whom threw stones to try to repel the heavily-armed invading soldiers, to keep the soldiers from invading their village. in addition to the shooting of Rashid, another young man was injured after he was run over by a military jeep car in Tubas. Medical sources report that his general health condition is stable, but he suffers from several fractures and bruises.

The killing of Rashid comes in the midst of a rapid, onging escalation of Israeli violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank and Gaza Strip, which began on April 12th, the beginning of the Muslim Holy Month of Ramadan, with increasingly frequent and violent Israeli settler and soldier attacks on Palestinian worshipers.

On Monday, Israel began launching airstrikes against the Gaza Strip when Palestinian factions demanded that Israeli troops withdraw from the East Jerusalem neighborhoods they are currently forcibly annexing. Instead of withdrawing, Israeli military forces launched an all-out assault on the Gaza Strip, killing at least 35 Palestinians, most of them civilians not involved in resistance — 12 of them children.

Palestinian Resistance Launches 130 Rockets Into Israel, Killing Five, Following Two Days of Israeli Bombardment

 IMEMC, MAY 12, 2021

After Israeli forces pounded the Gaza Strip with missiles for two straight days, killing at least 35 Palestinians including 12 children, and refusing to respond to Palestinian demands for a withdrawal and a ceasefire, Palestinian resistance fighters in the Gaza Strip launched a barrage of rockets across the border into Israel, killing five Israelis, including a teenage girl and her father.

One of those killed has been identified as Soumya Santosh, from Kerala, India, who worked as a housemaid for an Israeli household in Ashkelon for the past seven years.

In addition, a 50-year old Israeli woman was killed in Rishon Lezion, just south of Tel Aviv.

Rocket sirens sounded throughout the night in Israel’s southern towns and cities, and the Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv was briefly shut down. 26 Israelis were reportedly injured – most with minor injuries.

The rockets were fired in the early morning hours on Wednesday, as Gaza’s hospitals were besieged with hundreds of wounded Palestinians, many of them children, who suffered traumatic and severe injuries from the numerous Israeli missile strikes into crowded Palestinian neighborhoods throughout Gaza on Monday and Tuesday.

In addition to bombing Palestinian neighborhoods for two straight days, the Israeli military called up 5,000 reservists and had them stationed at the border with Gaza to threaten the Gaza Strip with a possible ground invasion.

The Palestinian resistance responded to this violent aggression with rocket fire directed toward Tel Aviv. This marks the longest-range rockets that have been fired by the Palestinian resistance to date. Other rockets fired in the past have reached as far as the coastal Israeli city of Ashkelon (formerly the Palestinian town of Azkalan), but had not had the range or capacity to reach the Israeli capital Tel Aviv (built on the former Palestinian town of Yaffa) before.

Israelis in the cities of Sderot, Holon and Ashkelon rushed to shelters and many stayed there overnight to try to avoid the impact of Palestinian resistance rocket fire.

Israeli media reported that at 8:45 A.M. on Wednesday, Israeli forces intercepted a drone crossing from Gaza into Israel.

The teen girl and her father who were killed by a Palestinian resistance rocket, Nadine and Khalil Awaad, were themselves Palestinian – with Israeli citizenship. But their town, Dhamas near Lod, being a mainly Palestinian village, was never provided bomb shelters like the Jewish Israeli towns were provided by the government. In fact, their village, Dhamas, was not recognized by Israeli authorities, and so lacks basic services and is under threat of demolition by the Israeli government. One of their relatives, Ismail Arafat, lives there as well and has been part of leading the struggle for recognition of the village.

The Israeli news agency Ha’aretz quoted Ismail Arafat as saying, “We have nowhere to go. We don’t have a bomb shelter here for everyone. For the Thai [migrant] workers they built shelters, but we were not allowed because we are not humans. Nadine and Khalil were in the middle of breakfast before fasting [for the Muslim holy month of Ramadan]. It seems that he opened the door and that’s how he was hit.”
