⭕️🇵🇸 “This is his baby bottle. This is his toy. And that is his shroud. I want to ask the world: What threat did this pose to Israel?”

Nearly three years after the Israeli massacre at the Al-Taj residential block in Gaza City, families gathered Thursday to bury 105 Palestinians whose remains were recovered from beneath the rubble.

Standing amid the ruins, journalist Mahmoud Haniyeh, whose wife, journalist Doaa Sharaf, and their one-year-old son Obaida were killed in the Israeli attack, held up the child’s belongings.

“I am not talking about numbers,” Haniyeh told Drop Site’s Mohamed Ahmed. “There was a neighborhood here, alive with its people. There was a lawyer here, an engineer, a doctor, and a nurse. We are talking about an entire life that Israel obliterated in seconds.”

Haniyeh said his family had spent three years in “an open house of mourning” while waiting for their remains to be recovered. “This grief has not healed. This wound has not healed. This mourning has not ended.”

For Haniyeh, the recovery of his wife and son underscored how many families across Gaza are still waiting for the bodies of their loved ones to be recovered from beneath the rubble.

“There are 10,000 martyrs whose families are waiting for this moment,” he said. “How long will it take us to reach 10,000?”

🚨🎥 “We will finally give them the most basic human right: to honor them and lay them to rest.”

Hundreds gathered in Gaza City on Thursday for the mass funeral of 105 Palestinians killed on October 25, 2023, when Israeli forces dropped at least 20 bombs on the Al-Taj residential block and surrounding buildings in Yarmouk Square.

Nearly three years later, it took Civil Defense crews, aided by Egyptian teams, 20 days of searching and digging through the rubble to recover the remains.

“We were able to recover 105 martyrs: children, women, the elderly, patients, engineers, doctors, nurses, and academics,” Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal told Drop Site’s Mohamed Ahmed. 

Basal said some 8,000 victims remain beneath destroyed buildings across Gaza and called for the entry of equipment and logistical support needed to recover them. “If things remain as they are, we are talking about many years in which these families will remain beneath the rubble.”

Sumaya Bakhit, who lost 15 members of her family beneath the Al-Taj building, said the remains of three of her brother’s children, ages 9, 5, and 2, were among those finally recovered.

“We have mixed emotions—sorrow, pain, but also joy,” Bakhit said. “The feelings of loss are impossible to describe.”

I'm not sure who saw this coming, but so far nearly all the jobs created during the second Trump administration have gone to women.
Line chart titled "So far during Trump's second term, just 8% of all job growth has gone to men" showing change in employment by gender since January 2025. Total nonfarm employment grew by 776,000 jobs through September 2026, with women gaining 711,000 positions (92% of growth) while men added only 65,000 jobs (8% of growth). Women's employment gains accelerated sharply through 2026, reaching 711,000 by September, while men's employment growth remained flat with brief periods of decline, including a drop of 96,000 jobs in February 2026.

Similarly, people keep asking me if immigration will get much better if Democrats retake Congress and the answer is "probably not." ICE is largely insulated from Congressional pushback (the 2026 budget reconciliation bill funded them through 2029) and hearings and subpoenas can only do so much.
