Video filmed by a CNN stringer shows a coastal road filled with Palestinians heading north for the first time in such numbers. The IDF says such journeys are not permitted.

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.

    “We heard the road was open to Gaza City, so we thought we’d go. When they saw men with us, they started shooting at us. We are tired and humiliated,” Um Awni Al-Jarousha told CNN.

    Footage shows people turning around, heading back south with the sound of drones and planes buzzing overhead. Missiles can be seen in the distance while people run in panic.

    Another man is seen carrying a 5-year-old girl named Sally Abu Laila, who is bleeding from her head and surrounded by people trying to help.

    I just can’t support any politician complicit in this, let alone eager to fund it.

    It’s a fucking genocide and our tax dollars are paying for it

      And the amount of resources going into genociding people, the high tech drones, the 2,000lb bombs, the surveillance and AI - it’s horrific.

        No they aren’t. That’s complete nonsense. Do put this on us, if they’d give us someone worth voting for, we would.

          Right it won’t be your fault if you can see a worse alternative coming but instead of avoiding it you throw a tantrum. Totally not your fault.

            Not voting isn’t throwing a tantrum. I choose to not vote because I have nobody I think is worth voting for. That’s all.

            But to be honest, the amount of attacks you get if you say you don’t want to vote, or you plan to vote third party, the negativity against that you get from people, like this is all your fault, is what seems like people throwing a tantrum. My vote my choice. That’s all. My one vote in my state makes no difference whatsoever. So I’m just not going to do it.
