Naples lays symbolic tombstones for Palestinian children

January 13, 2024 at 05:18 pm EST

STORY: Activists in Naples have staged protests in the city to demand Israel halt its bombardment of Gaza that began after a surprise Oct. 7 attack by Hamas militants in which more than 1,200 Israelis and foreigners were killed and some 240 taken as hostages.

Gaza health ministry spokesperson Ashraf Al-Qidra said on Saturday 23,843 Palestinians, mostly civilians, have been killed since that day.

Israel kept up bombardments in the Gaza Strip on Saturday, vowing to press ahead with its offensive to destroy the Islamist movement Hamas as the war approaches the 100-day mark with no end in sight.

Sunday (January 14) will mark 100 days since the war began.
