Israel killed 33,000 women, girls during genocide in Gaza: Palestinian Foreign Ministry

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry says the Israeli military killed at least 33,000 Palestinian women and girls during its genocidal campaign in the besieged Gaza Strip.

The ministry made the announcement in a statement on the occasion of the International Day for the Elimination of Violence against Women, lambasting the Tel Aviv regime for systematic crimes and the use of sophisticated surveillance technologies to target Palestinians.

The statement, citing figures by Gaza's Government Media Office, said more than 12,500 women and 20,000 children have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since October 2023.

Israel commits "systematic crimes against Palestinian women, including genocide, extrajudicial killings, enforced disappearances, arbitrary and administrative detention, torture and sexual violence, home demolitions, land seizure, settler terrorism, starvation, and intimidation," the ministry said.

It further noted that Israel employs advanced surveillance tools and technologies, including artificial intelligence and cyber espionage, to terrorize the Palestinian population, with a particular focus on intimidating women.

The ministry also underscored the urgent necessity for sustained international pressure and concrete steps to end the Israeli occupation, and to implement a so-called two-state solution that would guarantee the independence of a Palestinian state.

It called for the protection of the inalienable rights of the Palestinian people, specifically the right to self-determination, independence, and the right of return for refugees.

Since October 2023, the Israeli army has killed at least 69,785 people, most of them women and children, and injured 170,965 others in a two-year war in Gaza that has reduced much of the coastal sliver to rubble.

The war has also led to the widespread destruction of homes and civilian infrastructure, creating a dire situation for the territory's surviving inhabitants.
