Only evil creatures deny human beings food, water, medicine, clothes, and shelter. Only evil creatures sit mere kilometers from such suffering, breathe in, for decades, the stench of death and destruction, and do nothing. Only evil creatures remain silent or deliberately turn a blind eye. And I feel unspeakable rage toward those who witness this horror yet do nothing to end the suffering of people denied the most basic necessities of life, especially when they know full well that their money and their governments are enabling this abominable cruelty.

I hope you are all sleeping safely in your homes, surrounded by your families. I hope every child has warm clothes and every parent can provide the care their children need. I hope your children have umbrellas, raincoats, and rain boots for school. I hope your cities are prepared to respond to winter emergencies. Of course, sharing this news will change nothing for our families in Gaza, just as the warnings issued days ago changed nothing. Tonight, at 8:30 p.m., as families slept on the ground inside their tents, a massive landslide of soil and rocks buried at least two families in Deir al-Balah. The victims have been identified as: Habiba Hossam al-Zain, 4 years old Reem Hossam al-Zain Ibrahim Hossam al-Zain Salah Nabhan, 7 years old Mariam Nabhan The mothers of these five children remain in critical condition. The father of the first three children had already been killed by Israel. I hope everyone has heat in their homes.

Today marked the 70th anniversary of the Khan Yunis Massacre. On November 3, 1956, during the Tripartite Aggression against Egypt, Israeli forces killed hundreds of Palestinians in Khan Yunis. According to figures documented by UNRWA, 275 Palestinians were killed, including 140 refugees and 135 local residents. Just nine days later, another 111 people were reported killed in Rafah, bringing the combined reported death toll to 386. Palestinian survivors described horrifying acts of brutality: Israeli soldiers raiding homes, dragging men into the streets, separating fathers and sons from their families, lining up unarmed civilians against walls, and opening fire with machine guns. Witnesses also described bodies lying in the streets and grieving families unable to bury their loved ones because of military curfews. Palestinian historian Salman Abu Sitta recounts how Israeli soldiers rounded up men from Khan Yunis, including teachers, shopkeepers, farmers, and other ordinary civilians, and marched them toward the historic Barquq Castle. According to his account, soldiers lined the men against a wall near a school, ordered them to jump across a ditch, and opened fire with machine guns, turning the ditch into a grave. Palestinian historian Ihsan Khalil al-Agha documented a higher death toll, estimating approximately 520 victims of executions and other killings during the broader assault and occupation. Survivor testimonies also describe women being left to collect the bodies of their husbands, sons, and brothers and bury them in mass graves. The attached image shows some of the victims.

Today was a hard day for me. On October 8, 2023, I posted this photo. The only thing I knew then was that these children had been killed in Khan Younis. I didn’t know their names, their ages, who they were, or how they had been killed. I had never seen a photo of them when they were alive. It wasn’t until yesterday that I came across this photo again on my phone. Something in me told me that I needed to know this family, to name them, to know their story, and to share it with others. The mainstream media betrayed these children and their families. You will find no reporting about what I’m sharing here in any mainstream media outlet. On October 8, 2023, Israel bombed the Abu Hamad family home in Khan Younis. The attack killed 18 people. Among the victims were Hussein (33), Shaymaa (29), and their five children: Layan (7), Judy (6), Sham (3), and the twins, Osyad and Mohammad (3 months old). Yes, I looked at the photo again, and the two smallest victims on the right side of the photo were the twins. Among the other victims were Hussein’s brother, as well as four siblings from the extended family. The victims also included two elderly women, both aged 68. I created a family tree and also found a photograph of Hussein and his three children. The twins had not yet been born when the photo was taken. Some of you probably watched NAZA. The terrorist Israeli soldiers and intelligence officers mentioned that they were hacking into the phones of families, listening as children asked about their fathers. I keep wondering if one of them listened to seven-year-old Layan talking to her mother or father. I keep wondering if these Israeli soldiers heard the cries of the three-month-old twins. Words fail me.

Two simultaneous Israeli settler terrorist arson attacks in the West Bank. The first two videos capture a fire in the village of al-Mughayyar, near Ramallah, while the third documents a similar incident in Masafer Yatta, Hebron.
