Scores of Palestinians have been killed in US-backed Israeli air strikes in refugee camps across Gaza. The White House is still holding to the obvious lie that what the Israeli occupation forces are engaged in Rafah does not constitute a major offensive, as if global eyes are suddenly blind. Atrocities being perpetrated by Tel Aviv are not confined only to Gaza, but in the Occupied West Bank, the IOF have carried out numerous raids, with one in Ramallah causing a major fire in the local market after Israeli occupation forces fired tear gas canisters at the shops and stalls. Resistance forces in Yemen have pledged to inflict a "painful response" to overnight air strikes by US-British forces in three different locations across the port city of Hodeidah, which killed at least 16 and injured dozens more.

UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres says he's 'heartbroken' by the images of those killed and injured, including small children, and calls for the horror and suffering in Gaza to be brought to an immediate halt. If past Israeli behavior is anything to go by, that will be some time in coming. Despite the outrage, the international condemnation, and a social media campaign to raise awareness on Rafah- racking up tens of millions of support, the regime backers, including the United States, have raised the claim. Tel Aviv has not crossed its so-called red lines. Public anger is spreading from London to Lisbon, an emergency demo in the British capital, slamming the prime minister for the country's complicity in arming apartheid Israel.

The US-Israel genocidal aggression has entered its 8th month, and Israel continues to grind on, ignoring all calls for the onslaught to stop.
