The Israeli regime army issued a statement this evening (Wednesday) claiming that it has gained operational control over the axis known as "Philadelphia" on the border lines of occupied Palestine and #Egypt.
Remember the BS talks by Al-Sisi, #Biden, #Sunak, #Macron and other assholes about the red lines in Rafah?
None of them lifting a finger about the slaughter of the innocent Palestinians who are stuck in #Rafah with no where to go.
The war the media doesn't show us: The #IDF's General Staff lost control over the units, especially reserve units, months ago. In Gaza, in the #WestBank and in bases in Israel, soldiers record themselves destroying Palestinian property and civilian infrastructure | Amos Harel
🔶️ Blowing up homes without permission and spreading political messages identified with the far right. What is photographed and distributed is only the tip of the iceberg
🔶️ The vast majority of offenses are committed beyond the range of cameras, and in the vast majority of these cases, the army responds weakly if at all. Some of the incidents are serving #ICJ prosecutors as proof of the allegations against Israel
Israeli Army Radio reports that a unit from the 50th Battalion of the Nahal Brigade entered a building in #Rafah after being hit by an anti-tank missile. Upon entry, an explosive device detonated, causing the building to collapse, killing three soldiers and seriously injuring others.
Another 3 criminals were killed by "friendly fire".
The fascist Israeli Diaspora Affairs Minister Amichai Chikli was a guest of honour at a pan-European extreme right rally hosted by Vox in Madrid on 19 May.
Other guests included Milei (Argentina), Kast (Chile), Ventura (Portugal), Meloni (Italy), Le Pen (France) and a couple of head bangers from the US.
Netanyahu is their natural ally. Anybody who thinks Israel is a normal liberal law abiding Western democracy is delusional.
US-made CBU-39 munitions used in deadly strike on Rafah tent camp, CNN analysis shows noting that its use in a densely populated area is highly risky.
Munitions made in the United States were used in the deadly Israeli strike on a displacement camp in Rafah on Sunday, a CNN analysis of video from the scene and a review by explosive weapons experts has found.
The GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250-pound (110 kg) precision-guided glide bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of more accurate bombs. Most US Air Force aircraft will be able to carry (using the BRU-61/A rack) a pack of four SDBs in place of a single 2,000-pound (910 kg) bomb. It first entered service in 2006. The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) was later developed to enable the SDB to be launched from a variety of ground launchers and configurations.
“Everything I know in Gaza has been destroyed,” he adds. “This is a genocide. This is about the erasure of the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip and as a whole, and this is the essence of Zionism as a settler-colonial ideology.”
“So, the question is: Will the European Union and the individual European states continue, for example, their relations with Israel and business as usual, or will we see sanctions on Israel and other repercussions?”
“And if you’ll allow me just to remind your viewers of the fact that after every order of provisional measures by the ICJ, Israel has, in a way, responded in a such barbaric way targeting the Palestinians.“
It is like clock work, always the same lies: The Israeli military suspects that munitions or some other combustible substance caused a secondary explosion and subsequent fire at a complex housing displaced Gazans in Rafah, following an airstrike aimed at two top Hamas assets.
The incident resulted in the deaths of Palestinian civilians, and an investigation is ongoing.
The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had been tracking Hamas commanders Yassin Rabia and Khaled Najjar prior to the strike on the compound in the Tel Sultan neighborhood in western Rafah on Sunday night. According to #IDF intelligence, the area had been utilized for Hamas activities, including a nearby rocket launcher.
The military clarified that the strike occurred outside the designated “humanitarian zone” in the al-Mawasi region, which is over a kilometer away from the targeted compound. Steps were taken to ensure no civilians, particularly women and children, were present in the Hamas compound at the time of the attack.
Israeli fighter jets employed two small munitions, each carrying a 17-kilogram warhead, to minimize the risk of civilian casualties due to the proximity to the camp for displaced Palestinians.
Initial investigations by the IDF indicate that the two small missiles alone would not have been sufficient to ignite the fire. The probe suggests that ammunition, weapons, or other materials stored in the vicinity may have caused a secondary explosion and the resulting fire. #Rafah algemeiner.com/2024/05/28/idf-…
“Basically, the situation is totally catastrophic,” reports Palestinian journalist Shrouq Aila, from Rafah. She explains the bombs set tents … on fire, igniting a deadly blaze, and that Israel’s relentless assault has made three hospitals in the city inoperable’
“So, when it comes to such attacks, basically, we can see that the casualties and the losses that we are having are basically kids and women, like mostly civilians.”
“The army is a liar. The occupation army is a liar. There is no security in Gaza. There’s no security, not for a child, an elderly man or for a woman. Here he is with his wife. They were martyred. They’re gone.“
‘The order came as part of South Africa’s genocide case against Israel at the World Court. Though the order is legally binding, there is no enforcement mechanism. We’ll have more on this later in the broadcast.’
‘European heads of state are facing ever louder calls to join Spain, Norway and Ireland in recognizing Palestinian statehood after Sunday’s attack on Rafah’
‘Reporters Without Borders has lodged another complaint with the International Criminal Court for “war crimes against journalists in Gaza,” where Israel has killed over 100 media workers since October 7’
The aftermath of this morning's #massacre: #Israeli#occupation forces struck displaced Palestinians in tents inside the #UNRWA headquarters in #Rafah, resulting in the slaughter of Palestinian families.
Israeli tanks have entered the western #Rafah where over 400k innocent displaced Palestinians still living in tents, there is a risk of mass casualties.
This is too depressing. The freaking hypocrites of the west are just standing by and watching it happen.
Palestinian Ministry of Health in Gaza:
—
In light of the ongoing and expanding brutal "israeli" incursion in Rafah Governorate, and its deliberate targeting of numerous hospitals and primary care centers in the governorate, which has caused severe damage, the martyrdom of several health workers, and difficulty for citizens to access these facilities, the situation has led to the initial shutdown of Abu Youssef Al-Najjar Hospital, Abu Al-Walid Central Clinic, Rafah Field Hospital (2), and Kuwait Specialty Hospital.
As a result of the continued deliberate violations by the occupation against health institutions, with the targeting of the Indonesian Field Hospital last night and the bombing of the area around Tel Al-Sultan Clinic:
We note the shutdown of both the Indonesian Field Hospital and Tal Sultan Clinic in Rafah Governorate, leaving only Tal Al-Sultan Maternity Hospital struggling to continue providing services to patients in Rafah Governorate.
We reaffirm our call to all international and UN institutions to provide protection for all hospitals, health workers, and ambulances from the oppression and arrogance of the Israeli occupation.
