Nir Hasson and Yaniv Kubovich in Haaretz: ‘On Tuesday, the number of Gazan fatalities since the cease-fire began on October 11 crossed 1,000, reaching 1,003. In all cases, the Israeli military claimed its forces were firing at legitimate targets for one of two reasons. They were either targeting Hamas members or suspects who approached the Yellow Line and were thereby endangering soldiers. But the military has not provided detailed explanations for each attack, much as it hasn't throughout the war in Gaza.’

As well: ‘A UN official told Haaretz that 15 of 121 women killed during the cease-fire died in incidents where all the victims were women and children.’

And: ‘In the view of Dr. Ahmed al-Farra, director of Nasser Hospital's pediatric department in southern Gaza, the war is far from over.’

The world got bored with Gaza. Israel has become a pariah, but the Palestinians are once again being discarded.
