Gaza’s Eid al-Adha: 66 Martyrs, A Shattered Holy Day

 

A Sacred Day Stained with Blood

On June 6, 2025, as Palestinians in Gaza gathered for Eid al-Adha, Israeli airstrikes turned celebration into carnage, killing 66 across the Strip. In Sabra, Gaza City, 16 perished, including children buried under rubble, with no warning to escape the horror.

Voices from the Ruins

Hassan Alkhor’s words cut deep: “We pulled out countless martyrs, babies trapped beneath debris.” In Khan Younis and Nuseirat, tents sheltering displaced families were bombed, claiming four lives. Five others were shot near a Rafah aid site, adding to 115 killed seeking aid since May 27.

The Unspoken Horror

Why do these massacres surge during sacred times? Nearly 54,700 Palestinians have been killed in this genocidal war, with Gaza’s infrastructure obliterated and famine engineered. The fourth Eid under siege unveils a chilling truth: a deliberate targeting of Palestinian hope and resilience. The world’s silence cloaks a deeper complicity, allowing this nightmare to persist.

A Call to Humanity

Eid should bring joy, not death. Gaza’s children deserve to celebrate, not perish. This is not just a war—it’s a calculated erasure of a people’s spirit. Share this story, amplify Gaza’s cries, and demand justice and peace.
