Israel’s Genocide Machine Hits 140 “Targets” in 24 Hours
At least 140 bombs have been dropped on Gaza in the last day, killing countless civilians
Written by Owen Sullivan
The Israeli military admits to having struck 140 “targets” in Gaza over the past 24 hours. When the state-sponsored terrorists of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) use this language, it is important to decode it. “Targets” does not mean one bomb per strike. It does not mean one building. It does not even mean one location. A single “target” may be a crowded apartment block, hit repeatedly until nothing remains standing. If the IDF says 140 “targets,” it is safe to assume the number of bombs, shells, and missiles fired into Gaza is far higher.
One confirmed strike yesterday was on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza, where residents were once again subjected to indiscriminate Israeli fire. Al Jazeera reported at least eight people killed in that bombing alone. For the people of Nuseirat, already displaced and cornered, the word “target” was their homes, their neighbors, their families.
Israel has increasingly supplemented airstrikes with remote-controlled car bombs and other mechanized terror tactics, rolling explosives into densely populated areas to collapse homes and remaining buildings. These methods blur the line between conventional warfare and sheer terrorism, a deliberate campaign to annihilate civilian life and infrastructure.
It is worth stressing that the IDF’s numbers are not to be taken at face value. They are the minimum they admit to, meant for propaganda purposes. If they claim 140 “targets,” the reality is likely several hundred detonations across the Strip, with the death toll left deliberately vague. What they call “targets” are hospitals, schools, refugee shelters, mosques, and homes. What they call “operations” are war crimes.
The international community continues to debate ceasefires and recognitions, while Israel boasts of the scale of its destruction. For Palestinians in Gaza, “140 targets” means another day of terror inflicted by the Apartheid regime the world has failed to stop.
