The the morning of May 11, the #Israeli army spokesperson announced that the #military had begun a new operation in #Jabalia, the city and adjacent refugee camp in northern #Gaza. Evacuation orders were issued to #Palestinian residents of several neighborhoods, but many have been unable to leave; others have decided to stay, given the lack of any safe areas throughout the Strip.
The latest Israeli attack on the camp, involving both aircraft and ground troops, has had devastating consequences: the #army has bombed and bulldozed entire residential squares, markets, and food warehouses, exacerbating the already desperate humanitarian crisis, while corpses remain scattered in the streets.
Sabri Abu Al-Nasr, 43 years old, is a resident of the camp who took refuge in the #UNRWA-affiliated Al-Fakhoura #School, in an attempt to escape the Israeli bombing. “The conditions in the camp are terrible, and no one is spared from the artillery and air bombardment,” he told +972. “Israeli snipers are on high buildings — they shoot at every moving object.
On Oct. 29, Abu Al-Nasr lost his wife Nisreen (40) and his children Nisma (16), Hamza (14), and Mohammad (13) when Israel bombed a residential square adjacent to the family’s home. Their bodies remain trapped under the rubble, preventing Abu al-Nasr from being able to properly bury his loved ones. Seven months later, amid a new Israeli assault, he says “the smell of death and blood wafts throughout the camp.”
According to a Senior Israeli Defense Official, the Order has now been given to the #IDF Northern Command and other Forces in Northern #Israel to Expand Military Operations against #Hezbollah in Southern #Lebanon.
#Netanyahu will set the region on fire before leaving office.
#UK / Silly anecdotes from populist Israeli news sites that indulge their readership in Zionist indoctrination.
[…] Even the most beautiful kippah won't help you look less hypocritical. Just saying.
Ynet columnist seems to think Prince William is a hypocrite because… apparently he didn’t stick with the Jewish state during the genocide in Gaza.
She quips: […] When it comes to relations with Israel - the royal family definitely needs to work a little harder. With the outbreak of the [what Israel titles] “Iron Swords” War [which many see as a genocidal revenge attack], and after the horrific atrocities committed by the Hamas terrorist organization on October 7th were exposed, Prince William and Kate Middleton, together with King Charles, rushed to condemn the horrific actions - but very quickly changed their approach.
And how? Well he dared to say this (translated back from Hebrew so probably different form the source):
[…] "I am concerned about the terrible human cost of the conflict in the Middle East since Hamas' attack on October 7th. Too many people have been killed, […] Like many others, I want to see an end to the fighting as soon as possible. There is a need for increased humanitarian aid to Gaza, it is critical that aid gets in and the captives are released."
Horrible person indeed. Funny she stops short of mentioning that the slaughter of thousands of Gazans (mostly women and children) in the hand of the #IDF that followed, might have had something to do with that.
Thought I should share the pain of going through this with someone 🤷🏽♂️…
#Gaza While Israel's fascists are pushing for full occupation of Gaza and imposing a 'military rule’, Netanyahu is not saying no, and the army warns of dire consequences of such a plan
At the dramatic press conference he held the day before yesterday, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant warned that he will not continue in his position if there is Israeli control over Gaza. Gallant believes that the current conduct has led to a situation where Israel is currently controlling the Strip, but this is a dangerous situation.
"A trend is developing that is promoting military and civilian rule in Gaza. This is dangerous for us, Israel must not have civilian control over the Gaza Strip. Since October I have been raising this issue in the Cabinet without receiving an answer. The end of the military operation is through political action," he warned.
These are the financial and administrative implications of 'martial rule' in Gaza.
Budget
NIS 20 billion in yearly operational costs
NIS 150 million for building an additional "corridor"
Reconstruction costs not included
Personnel
400 positions to staff five district governorates
4 offensive divisions and 1 defensive division - forces that will be drawn from the Northern and Central Commands
A dramatic increase in the scope of reserve duty for operational employment will be required
