Israel’s special friend America has made a big confession.
America says that Israel has killed more than 25 thousand Palestinians since the attack on October 7. US Defense Minister Lloyd Austin said this on Thursday.
He said that the terrorist group Hamas had attacked Israel on October 7. In retaliation, Israel has so far killed more than 25,000 Palestinian women and children.
Asked about the number of women and children killed during a hearing of the House Armed Services Committee, Austin told lawmakers, “It’s more than 25,000.”
America has strongly supported Israel since the Hamas attack in October. About 1,160 people were killed in this attack.
Since October 7, Israel has bombed Gaza so much that almost the entire city has been razed to the ground. Palestine’s health ministry said more than 30,000 people had died.
Defense Minister Austin has given the number of Palestinian deaths at a time when America itself is insisting on Israel to reduce these deaths. The US is pushing for a ceasefire and a reduction in civilian casualties in Gaza.
Palestinian officials on Thursday alleged that the Israeli army’s brutality against innocent people of Gaza is showing no sign of abating. In the latest development, people were lining up for food in the city, waiting for aid trucks.
During this the Israeli army opened fire on them. 104 people died and more than 200 were injured in this attack.
