Thousands of Palestinians, including men, women, children and elderly, attempted to return to their homes in northern Gaza on Sunday when they came under Israeli fire.

“We reached all the way to the checkpoint until we saw Israeli tanks. We headed back because they fired towards us. We didn’t see anyone make it to the other side. We risked our children’s lives to cross, but apparently it was all a lie,” one woman said.

Video shows several people with what appear to be gunshot wounds. One man is seen carrying another man who has blood streaming along his face from a head injury.

    Afrin used to be something like 90% Kurds. The Turks came as they did not like the facts that the Kurds had a relatively warzone free city controlled by the Kurds, and invaded along with ex-isis fighters wearing new badges created by the Turks. Around 300,000 Kurds fled and live in refugee camps till this day. Afrin area has essentially been ethically cleansed as the Kurdish populationhas has dropped to 10-5%, we know it’s on purpose as Turkey’s great islamic leader said there’s no Kurds in Afrin, only Arabs (excuse to remove the Kurds). That was there nonstop claims till completion.

    This happened in 2018. Since then war crimes is through the roof. Kidnappings, rape, killings, forced assimilation, removal of Kurdish signs, ect. (There’s a website for missing people, see below.) They fled for a reason is my point. What has the muslims said? Nothing really, in fact Palestinian aid groups settled in helping arabs that have moved in. Even reports that Palestinian construction companies building homes there, which means they are more than happy to do the same.

    Isis fighters live in Afrin, turkey supports it, Palestinians are involved.

      This has got to be some kind of hasbara tactic or something. Otherwise I just can’t understand how on a post reporting about civilians in Gaza being bombed, you would start rambling about a completely unrelated topic and then somehow link Palestinians to it.

        You question it, but I see hate for Israel thrown in on random articles all over this community. It’s just people pushing their agendas no matter what.

      Kurds are useful idiots of Middle East. Us used them for Iraq invasion, used for relocating Syria villages. They big part of destabilization of Iran. Probably Kurd will fight againts Iran next possible Us-Israel attack.
