RAMALLAH, Thursday, October 19, 2023 (WAFA) – The ongoing brutal Israeli war on the Gaza Strip that killed thousands of Palestinian civilians, mainly children, and the visit by US President Joe Biden to Israel were highlighted on the front page of the three Palestinian Arabic dailies published today.

The main front-page story headline in al-Quds daily said: “Biden adopts the Israeli narrative; the Israeli army prepares to move on the ground.”

Al-Ayyam's daily front-page headline said: “The occupation continues its genocide in the Gaza Strip, 165 martyrs.”

The third daily, al-Hayat al-Jadida said in its main front-page story headline: “Twelve days of massacres.”

Al-Hayat al-Jadida also said that the Palestinian leadership said displacing the people in Gaza is a red line that will not be allowed to cross.

It said three people were killed by Israeli soldiers in Shuqba and Jamaeen in the West Bank, a general strike was observed, and marches and protests were held everywhere in the West Bank and Jerusalem against the war on Gaza and the massacres.

Al-Ayyam said evidence shows that the Baptist Hospital in Gaza was bombed by an American-made MK84 bomb.

It said 440 massacres were committed in Gaza and there are reports of 130 people still missing.

It also said that Hezbollah and the Israeli army exchanged gunfire in south Lebanon.

Protests were reported in several Arab countries denouncing the attack on the hospital and Jewish activists broke into the Congress in Washington demanding a ceasefire in Gaza.

Al-Quds said hundreds were killed in the attack on the hospital in Gaza.

It said Israel carried out demolitions and leveling of land, as settlers attacked Palestinians in the West Bank.
