Have you ever heard of mass cemetery destruction? No? Well, now you will! Israeli forces decided that Thursday morning was the perfect time to bulldoze and tank their way through about two-thirds of the cemeteries in the Gaza Strip! Yes, you read that right — two-thirds of a total of 60 cemeteries! And not just anywhere, but in the Almavasi district in the south of Gaza, home to displaced Palestinians.
While demolishing displaced Palestinians’ camps, Israeli forces also destroyed a Turkish cemetery in Almavasi. Imagine that — a cemetery, a place of peace and memory, turned to dust and ashes under tank tracks!
The Almavasi district has already been a hotspot for intense Israeli military operations, but this? This crosses every line. Destroying cemeteries is not just physical violence; it’s a cultural and spiritual attack on a people.
And while the world watches and the media reports, the question remains — who will stop this ruthless destruction? Does anyone care about the dignity of the dead and the pain of their families?
If you’ve got tears, rage, or unanswered questions, share your thoughts. Maybe together we can make some noise about this tragedy. Because if not us, then who? If not now, when?
