As Israel wages war in Gaza over Hamas' terror, one Palestinian tells CBS News, "They're wiping us out"

Israel is warning of a "prolonged" war in Gaza as it prepares to launch a ground invasion of the densely populated Palestinian territory.

Many of those paying the ultimate price for the brutal weekend terror attack on Israel by Gaza's Hamas rulers are the youngest Palestinians. Hospitals and clinics struggling to keep their lights on since Israel imposed a complete blockade, cutting electricity supplies to the Palestinian enclave, are full of tiny bodies covered in blood and exhausted doctors trying desperately to save their lives.

The blockade has amplified the misery of the millions of people who live in the densely packed enclave. More than half of Gaza's inhabitants are under the age of 18 — children who, like most in the territory, had no say in Hamas' brutal assault on southern Israel.

"They're wiping us out. This is a genocide," Gazan university student Efaf al-Najar told CBS News. "It's not even an attack anymore. They keep saying, 'leave the Gaza Strip.' Where? They've bombed everything, even the only border we can leave through."

Al-Najar told CBS News she lived in Gaza City's Tel el-Hawa neigborhood, "which has been completely destroyed and wiped out by the Israeli airstrikes."

She said when Israel started bombing Gaza her mother feared their neighborhood would be targeted, so they moved to a hotel, "because it's supposed to be safer, because it has U.N. clearance. But obviously, no place in the Gaza Strip is safe. Even the schools that people have sought shelter in, UNRWA schools have been attacked, hospitals and ambulances, educational institutions, our mosques, every place in the Gaza Strip. So really. nowhere is safe."

The young woman, who moved back to Gaza with her family in 2018 after years spent in Malaysia, cast no blame at Hamas for the suffering of Palestinians…

Typical college student. She should blame her parents for supporting Hamas.

There are no “innocent palestinian civilians.” Maximize collateral damage.

She whines and cries about the reprisal but says nothing about the massive war crimes that caused the reprisal.

Shut up cupid stunt.

In Gaza, no. In the West Bank, there is a Christian minority living there.

Good advice. I've heard Jordan has been offering to serve as a homeland for Palestinians for decades. If Israel continues to let Gaza serve as a harbor for Hamas, as it always will under Palestinian control, it deserves whatever it gets. If Israel wants peace from Gaza, it needs to absorb Gaza (as opposed to occupying it).
