Israel’s campaign of extermination by air, land and sea in Gaza continued for a ninth day on Sunday, killing Palestinians at a rate of one fatality every five minutes.
A threatened ground invasion had not yet begun as daybreak approached on Monday, but Israel was intensively bombing neighborhoods across Gaza:

The UN said that as of late Sunday, there had been 455 Palestinian fatalities in Gaza over the past 24 hours, and 856 injuries.
At least 2,670 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed since 7 October, following an attack that left 1,300 dead in Israel, according to media reports in that country.
However, evidence is emerging that a significant number of those killed on 7 October died not at the hands of Palestinians, but from Israeli police and military fire.
Israel says that 155 people were captured during the 7 October attack and taken into Gaza. Palestinian guerrillas in Gaza have reported over the past week that several of those held captive were killed in Israeli airstrikes.
Israel says that it is holding the bodies of 1,500 Palestinian fighters killed in the aftermath of the 7 October attack. However, an unknown number of those who Israel claims were militants may have been unarmed civilians.
An investigation by Al Jazeera found that four people presented as executed fighters in an Israeli army propaganda video were in fact unarmed and were attempting to surrender when they were killed:

In the West Bank, Israeli occupation forces and settlers have killed 56 Palestinians, including 15 children, since 7 October.
And in a suburb of the US city of Chicago, a 6-year-old Palestinian-American boy was killed in his home and his mother seriously injured in a suspected hate crime connected to Israel and Gaza. The family’s 71-year-old landlord has been charged with stabbing the boy more than two dozen times while reportedly yelling “Muslims must die!” at the outset of his attack.
Genocide in Gaza
A growing chorus around the world warned that what is happening in Gaza is genocide, an atrocity crime that must be prevented.
“The only possible meaning of ‘never again’ is simply this: never again, for any human being,” said Francesca Albanese, the UN special reporter on the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, on Sunday.
She and others urged an immediate ceasefire in Gaza as the death toll climbs ever higher and a humanitarian catastrophe unfolds, threatening to claim the lives of Palestinians not yet killed by Israeli bombs.
The specter of death is hanging over #Gaza.
With no water, no power, no food and no medicine, thousands will die.
Plain and simple. — Martin Griffiths (@UNReliefChief) October 15, 2023
Instead, Guterres called on Hamas to immediately release captives held in Gaza since 7 October “without conditions.” To Israel, he called for “rapid and unimpeded access for humanitarian aid.”
In the absence of a ceasefire, Palestinians in Gaza began burying victims of Israeli bombing in mass graves, some before they were able to be identified.

Biden claimed that the attack in Israel on 7 October was “as consequential as the Holocaust” and that Hamas is “hiding behind the civilians” in Gaza.
Incredibly, while Israel was killing Palestinian children in Gaza at a rate of at least 100 per day, Biden said that “the Israelis are gonna do everything in their power to avoid the killing of innocent civilians.”

Iran’s foreign minister meanwhile warned that “Tehran will not remain an observer in the war, warning Israel and the United States of heavy losses if the conflict escalates,” Al Jazeera reported on Monday.
Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, the UN agency for Palestine refugees, said on Sunday that “Gaza is now even running out of body bags” and that at least one million people in the territory were displaced.
“A river of people continues to flow south,” but “no place is safe in Gaza,” Lazzarini said.
Under total blockade for eight days, Gaza was running out of water and soon “there will be no food or medicine either.”
Meanwhile, hospitals are about to run out of fuel to run generators, placing “the lives of thousands of patients at risk,” the UN said.
Israeli officials reportedly claimed to have turned on the water supply to southern Gaza after US pressure. But that was dismissed as a public relations ploy since Israel had destroyed much of Gaza’s water infrastructure and there is currently no electricity to power the water pumps.
The Israeli regime has claimed it has “turned on” the water supply in the southern part of Gaza.
What they are not saying is that they’ve destroyed so many of the water pipes and that electricity is needed for the water pumps.

I am from Gaza and I am telling you this is a JOKE.
Israel destroyed many water pipes.
Also, without electricity we can NOT turn on the water pumps.
Water in Gaza does not simply run into the taps. We have to fill water tanks about twice a week.
https://t.co/yu7iyPsTOc — Refaat🇵🇸 (@itranslate123) October 15, 2023
“[Gaza] has seen taps run dry across the territory. When water does trickle from pipes, the meager flow lasts no more than 30 minutes each day and is so contaminated with sewage and seawater that it’s undrinkable, residents said.”

UNRWA said that “many, particularly pregnant women, children, the elderly and persons with disabilities, will not be able to flee the area.”
In Khan Younis, southern Gaza, Rawya Halas, the director of an UNRWA training college, described not having food, water, electricity and life-saving medicine such as insulin for the 15,000 Palestinians at the shelter she is now responsible for:

“I am UNRWA, I’m the head of the shelter, and I can’t offer them anything,” she said with distress.
New massacres in Gaza
Israel eliminated entire families for yet another day on Sunday. Gaza’s health ministry says that 47 entire families have been killed – amounting to around 500 Palestinians.

Two airstrikes on Sunday west of Rafah and in the Tel al-Hawa area of Gaza City killed 28 Palestinians, including several children.
The Palestinian civil defense estimates that an excess of 1,000 people may be trapped under the rubble.
Dozens of healthcare workers have been killed in Israeli attacks since last Saturday, suggesting that they may be deliberately targeted.
The World Health Organization has recorded 48 health attacks in Gaza since 7 October, including the “killings of 12 health workers and the injury of 20 others while on duty. At least 12 UNRWA staff were also killed,” the UN said.
Other health workers were killed in their homes with their families.

Two days ago, Israel ordered 1+ million Palestinians + 22 hospitals treating thousands of wounded to evacuate from northern #Gaza to the south.
Today, it ordered the Kuwaiti Hospital in Rafah, Gaza's southernmost city, to evacuate in 2 hours, in anticipation of imminent attack. — Al-Mezan الميزان (@AlMezanCenter) October 15, 2023
The UN public health body added that 21 hospitals in Gaza have been ordered by Israel to evacuate, “amounting to a death sentence for those needing intensive care and lifesaving surgeries.”
Archbishop of Canterbury Justin Welby said that the Anglican-run Ahli Hospital in Gaza was hit in an Israeli strike on Saturday night, injuring four of its staff. He appealed “for the evacuation order on hospitals in northern Gaza to be reversed.”
Ghassan Abu Sitta, a British-Palestinian surgeon in Gaza, said that doctors would not abandon their patients even in the event of an Israeli ground invasion:

Deal reached to open Rafah crossing
US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday that Rafah crossing on the Gaza-Egypt boundary would be opened on Monday morning to let foreign passport-holders out of Gaza and let desperately needed humanitarian aid into the territory.
Egypt had reportedly maintained that it would only open Rafah crossing if humanitarian aid would be brought in.
BREAKING: Rafah border to open from tomorrow morning, Sky News' US partner network NBC News reports.
The Embassy of Palestine representative for the Rafah border, has confirmed foreign national Palestinians will be able to use the crossing.
https://t.co/PTx5fOf63Y
📺 Sky 501 pic.twitter.com/lbgnEpiNMX — Sky News (@SkyNews) October 15, 2023
Israel bombed the Palestinian side of the crossing last week and Egypt put up barricades to prevent a mass exodus from Gaza into the Sinai, as reportedly sought by the US and Israel, though Blinken denied those reports on Sunday.
Jake Sullivan, the White House national security advisor, said in an interview with Face the Nation on Sunday that the US position is that “when people leave their homes in conflict, leave their houses in conflict, they deserve the right to return to those homes – to those houses. And this situation is no different.”
His response is bitterly ironic, given that most Palestinians in Gaza are refugees from villages and towns now considered Israeli territory. The US has never supported the right of Palestinians to return to those areas, despite their right under international law to do so.

Meanwhile, Israel was still bombing areas in southern Gaza, where many people had fled after Israel ordered the evacuation of 1.1 million people in the north of the territory on Friday.
Amnesty International said that it verified six videos of an attack on a convoy of Palestinians traveling on Salah al-Din Street, following Israel’s evacuation orders, on Friday.
Amnesty said a truck carrying 30 people and other vehicles and people nearby were hit. Ambulances that arrived at the scene were hit in a second attack, injuring rescuers. At least 70 people died in the attacks, according to Amnesty.
Without presenting any evidence, Israel said that the convoy was sabotaged by Hamas, a claim repeated by international media despite Israel’s long track record of lying.
Journalists who blindly spread Israeli disinformation, like @RichardEngel did here, must be held accountable. Enough with journalists being too busy enabling atrocities rather than actually doing their jobs.

“The Israeli military says they did not kill Shireen Abu Akleh.”
“The Israeli military says it did not use white phosphorus.”
“The Israeli military says Hamas decapitated 40 babies.”

With water and food scarce or unavailable, Palestinians in Gaza described rationing and prioritizing the children:
Today, we entered the stage of "children first." Fresh water is about to run out, so we made a plan to fairly distribute each person's share of water, and we gave priority to the kids.
Bread is enough for one day. The adults will have “only one meal". Children first.

Israel moves to crack down on dissent, media
Wartime Israel was moving to silence dissent in the country.
Draft emergency regulations formulated by Israeli communications minister Shlomo Karhi would allow police to “arrest civilians, remove them from their homes, or seize their property if he believes they have spread information that could harm national morale or served as the basis for enemy propaganda,” Haaretz reported.
“The jurisdiction to impose limitations on publications will be sweeping,” Haaretz added, noting that the draft regulations would “apply to both the general public and the media, as well as both local and foreign media.” Haaretz said that the regulations “are unlikely to be approved by the government’s legal counsel.”
Karhi is seeking the closure of Al Jazeera’s local bureau, calling it “a propaganda mouthpiece” that “incites against the citizens of Israel.”
Al Jazeera is one of the few international outlets with any presence in the Gaza Strip and has been reporting from Gaza and Israel around the clock since 7 October.
Israel is seeking to shut down Al Jazeera’s local bureau as it continues pummeling Gaza. This is intended to shut down any reporting from Gaza. Every journalist must condemn this move. — Laila Al-Arian (@LailaAlarian) October 15, 2023

Frey sought refuge at a Tel Aviv hospital but was followed by what he said were ultra-Orthodox followers of Rabbi Meir Kahane.
The US State Department removed Kahane Chai, the political party founded by the genocidal rabbi, from its list of designated foreign terrorist organizations last year.
Kahane Chai, also known as Kach, engaged in violence to realize its goal of the expulsion of all Palestinians from their homeland.
The State Department claimed that Kahane Chai was no longer active, though Kahane’s followers are now senior ministers in the Israeli government waging genocide in Gaza with Washington’s full support.
EU backs Israel’s genocide, Colombia protests
While Palestinians were being massacred in Gaza on Friday, Ursula von der Leyen, the unelected head of the European Commission, and Roberta Metsola, the president of European Parliament, went on a military tour in Kfar Aza, one of the Gaza-area settlements attacked on 7 October.
President of the @EU_Commission, @vonderleyen and President of @Europarl_EN, @RobertaMetsola visited Kfar Aza, one of the communities Hamas infiltrated on Oct. 7.

Earlier in the week, COGAT posted a video on social media in which Alian described the population of Gaza as “human beasts” – echoing similar rhetoric used by Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.
“Israel has imposed a total blockade on Gaza, no electricity, no water, just damage,” Alian said. “You wanted hell – you will get hell.”
Von der Leyen and Metsola’s photo op with Alian will be understood by Israel as a full endorsement of its genocidal campaign of extermination in Gaza.
Israel had halted security exports to Bogota and dressed down Colombia’s ambassador to the country after President Gustavo Petro compared Israel’s crimes in Gaza to that of the Nazis in Europe.

Meanwhile, the Washington-based human rights group DAWN on Sunday warned Blinken and Lloyd Austin, the secretary of defense, that the failure to ensure that weapons provided by the government to Israel are not used to perpetrate war crimes in Gaza could “expose US officials to prosecution by the International Criminal Court.”
“If US officials don’t care about Palestinian civilians facing atrocities using US weapons, perhaps they will care a bit more about their own individual criminal liability for aiding Israel in carrying out these atrocities,” said Sarah Leah Whitson, executive director of DAWN.
The human rights group noted that Karim Khan, the ICC chief prosecutor, has failed to respond to the war in Gaza with the same urgency that he did with the Russian invasion of Ukraine.
“The ICC prosecutor sent a team of investigators to Ukraine to document and investigate war crimes there as soon as the war started,” said DAWN program director Michael Schaeffer Omer-Man.
“But over a week into this war the prosecutor has yet to utter even a word regarding the ICC’s active investigation in Palestine,” Schaeffer Omer-Man added.
He noted that if the double standard continued, Khan “will destroy whatever credibility the court has left as an independent body committed to equal protection for all victims of international war crimes.”
In the meantime, the online memorializations of Palestinians killed in Israel’s genocidal war campaign in Gaza, backed by the US and EU, proliferated on Sunday:
I learnt today that my neighbor, a very kind man I called uncle since I was a child, is amongst more than 2700 Palestinians Israel has slaughtered in Gaza amid an ongoing process of ethnic cleansing against the Palestinians.
