Israeli drone chases and kills elderly woman in Gaza as attacks continue At least seven Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks as military pushes deeper beyond truce demarcation line.

Israel hunted a 70 year old lady down with a gun drone and then hoovered above to make sure she bled out next to her dying son. They both join almost 1,000 Palestinians Israel has massacred or maimed in its genocide during the "ceasefire".

Look folks gen AI videos are out in the wild so if you weren't already being careful about sharing rage bait videos then now is a great time to start
