Israel Bombs Newly Built Water Desalination Plant in Gaza
For nearly two months, Palestinians in Gaza City’s Sheikh Radwan neighborhood had access to water at any time — a welcome sense of stability in the depths of a genocidal war. On Aug. 24, that stability was disrupted by an Israeli airstrike that destroyed the newly built water desalination plant and damaged apartment buildings and tents.
The bombing worsens Gaza City’s drinking-water crisis which impacts 92% of the population.
NEW: At least 66 Palestinians in Gaza were killed by Israeli forces between Aug. 23 and Sept. 6, 2026 -- this video features four unprovoked instances of Israeli aggression during that period.
Over 1,400 have been killed since the U.S.-brokered ceasefire signed in Oct. 2025.
There are numerous daily attacks on Palestinians in Gaza City as Israel now controls over 70% of Gaza and is continuing actions in the Strip and the occupied West Bank that amount to genocide and ethnic cleansing.
