Haaretz: The "flour massacre" will change the course of the war. She added that what she described as Thursday's horrors would inflame the situation in other arenas, such as the West Bank.

It is noteworthy that more than 100 Palestinians were martyred and about 800 others were injured. The massacre occurred in the northern Gaza Strip, which is facing famine under the Israeli siege, with continued reports of children dying as a result of drought and malnutrition. The Israeli explanations for what happened were delayed by ten hours and it is doubtful that they will convince anyone.
