Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza, now in its 340th day, has killed 40,988 Palestinians — mostly women and children — and wounded 94,825 others, a conservative estimate, with 10,000+ believed to be buried under the debris of bombed homes.

2225 GMT — Israel has killed at least 40 Palestinians and wounded some 60 others in air strikes on a tent encampment in Khan Younis in southern Gaza, medics said.
A Gaza civil defence official told AFP news agency early on Tuesday that “40 martyrs and 60 wounded were recovered and transferred” to nearby hospitals following an Israeli attack inside the al-Mawasi humanitarian zone in Khan Younis, the Palestinian territory’s main southern city.
Residents and medics said the tent encampment was struck by at least four Israeli missiles. The camp is crowded with displaced Palestinians who have fled from elsewhere in the enclave.
The Gaza civil emergency service said at least 20 tents caught on fire, and missiles caused craters as deep as 30 feet.
“Our teams are still moving out martyrs and wounded from the targeted area. It looks like a new Israeli massacre,” a Gaza civil emergency official said.
Without offering any proof, the Israeli military said it struck Hamas fighters who it said were “embedded inside the Humanitarian Area in Khan Younis.”
Palestinian resistance group Hamas denied its fighters were present at the site of Israeli massacre, saying “The [Israel] occupation’s allegations of the presence of resistance fighters are a blatant lie.”

The Israeli army killed three captives, including two soldiers, during a raid on Gaza in December and concealed it from the public, local Israeli media reported.
Israel’s Channel 12 said the three Israeli captives — Nik Beizer, Ron Sherman and Elia Toledano — were killed in an Israeli air strike that targeted a senior military leader of the Palestinian resistance group Hamas in northern Gaza.
According to the channel, the Israeli army did not know there were Israeli captives present along with the Hamas leader but has known the details of their deaths since February but chose not to publicise them.

1930 GMT — Palestine’s UN proposal demands Israel leave Gaza and West Bank in 6 months
Palestine has circulated a draft UN resolution demanding that Israel end its “unlawful presence” in besieged Gaza and the occupied West Bank within six months.
A council diplomat said the Palestinians are aiming for a vote before world leaders of the General Assembly start their annual high-level meetings on September 22.
The proposal demands that Israel comply with international law, including by immediately withdrawing all military forces from the Palestinian territories.
The draft resolution not only demands an end to all new settlement activity but also the evacuation of all illegal Zionist settlers and the dismantling of the separation barrier Israel constructed in the West Bank.
It calls for all Palestinians displaced during Israel’s occupation to be allowed “to return to their original place of residence” and that Israel make reparations “for the damage caused” to all people in the territories.
