Muhammad Shehadeh (on X) It's been 48 hours since Israel murdered Gaza's water & environment chief engineer along with 4 municipality officials while they were working to restore the water supply to the famine-stricken northern Gaza.

Not even a single passing mention of this in any mainstream media

A video report aired by Israel’s Channel 13 shows Israeli soldiers and guards mocking Palestinian detainees held at the Ketziot Prison in the Negev desert. Recent figures from the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society state that at least 9,300 Palestinians are currently being held captive in Israeli prisons.

@palestine @israel So distressing to be trained to negotiate; to have analyzed the process; & also to survive hostage-taking (tho I doubt I could); & crucially, the planning & red-teaming re such ops & deradicalisation more broadly (to inhibit terror attacks in 1st place) - then to see everything done wrong; maximizing, not minimizing casualties

Sherifazuhur OP ,
@Sherifazuhur@sfba.social avatar

@palestine @israel @bouriquet agreed - but I think the IDF & Netanyahu’s war cabinet did consider the consequences of indiscriminate bombing and attacks & decided they’d continue lying and when that stops working, it doesn’t matter - buried in news cycle and on to the next attack

Quds News: According to Axios, citing a U.S. administration official, the American hostages unit in Israel assisted in the release of the 4 Israeli captives in Gaza.

Footage published by an Israeli occupation soldier confirms Israel's use of the American temporary pier in central Gaza during its offensive operations in the Al-Nuseirat refugee camp.
