It was never about Hamas or hostages: An Israeli occupation soldier shares a picture of himself holding a photograph of a Palestinian woman from a home they raided in Gaza, accompanied by disturbing and inappropriate comments about her.
I'm sure Israeli supporters will look the other way or say "boys will be boys" to justify these despicable behaviors.
Thousands of displaced Palestinians are forced to flee from Rafah towards Khan Yunis and central Gaza after massive bombings and drone attacks.
It's truly heartbreaking watching them flee with all their belongings in a small shopping bag, with no food, shelter or place to live, their lives have been aa close to hell as one can imagine.
A displaced pharmacist from the north of the Gaza Strip, whose pharmacy was destroyed by the occupation, opens a #pharmacy with existing capabilities in Mawasi #KhanYunis to serve the displaced.
Escalation in the Israeli-Palestinian Conflict Zone until the End of 21 May 2024
🔹In the northern #GazaStrip, Israeli forces have blocked two medical facilities and are fighting in Jabaliya. At the same time, air strikes by the Israeli Air Force continue in Gaza and the surrounding area.
🔹In the south of the Enclave, in the area of #Rafah, fighting is also taking place. There are no recorded advances by the IDF, and artillery and aviation do not stop operating in areas controlled by the Palestinians.
🔹In the #WestBank, Israeli security forces carried out several raids, and in #Jenin there have been clashes since the early morning, with local factions of the Palestinian resistance detonating several IEDs.
🔹On the border with #Lebanon, the exchange of strikes between the #IDF and #Hezbollah continues. Despite the liquidation of another field commander last evening, the number of shellings does not yet allow us to talk about an escalation.
🔹In #Yemen's airspace, the Houthis shot down another MQ-9 Reaper. The footage showed the defeat and fall of the UAV. This is the second shot down in May and the fifth since the escalation began on October 7.
Palestinian journalists in northern Gaza report that the Israeli occupation has deployed an armored vehicle rigged with improvised explosive devices, remotely controlling it into the alleyways of #Jabalia refugee camp and detonated it near the police station within the camp .
Israeli occupation forces are besieging Kamal Adwan #Hospital in northern Gaza. They have forced patients to evacuate, and many bedridden patients are unable to leave, according to local and media sources.
Every ranking officer participating in these criminal actions should be the target of #ICC for crimes against humanity and #WarCrimes.
The outrageous atrocities of Israeli forces against the civilian population of Gaza is beyond anything we have seen in modern times and sadly these barbaric acts go unpunished while #US, #UK and #Germany keep sending weapons and money to help Israel with their crimes against palestinians in Gaza.
It's not going to happen, but it's a step towards the right direction.
Judging by the way #ICC charged #Hamas, every ranking military serving in Gaza to be charged with #WarCrimes, just like they did with those in #Bosnia and #Rwandan.
But sadly, just #Netanyahu and #Gantz were those they could dare charging.
According to the UN, the number of Palestinian #refugees, who were expelled from Palestinian villages and cities during the #Nakba to Gaza, is approximately 1.4 million out of a total population of over 2 million, constituting two-thirds of the population in the besieged enclave, which has been suffering a new Israeli Nakba for the past seven months.
Rajha Abu Khalifa is one of many refugees in Gaza, who are older than Israel.
Again, about 800,000 people, half of #Rafah's population, are forced to flee due to the Israeli invasion.
The claim that civilians in Gaza can go to safe areas is false
Humanitarian organizations no longer have resources such as food and essential items to prepare
The time has come to agree on a ceasefire and any further escalation will cause more suffering to civilians.
Doctors Without Borders said that the intensification of the onslaught by Israeli forces on #Rafah has forced it to stop providing lifesaving care at Rafah Indonesian Field hospital as of 12 May.
US Ambassador Jacob Lew says that the US is continuing to generously send more weapons to Israel.
In an interview with Israel's channel 12, #US#Ambassador Jacob Lew said that the occupation state has not crossed the red line in #Rafah and that there will be no interruption in US aid to Israel.
He added that "it is wrong to believe that anything has fundamentally changed in the relationship between Washington and Tel Aviv."
"As everyone is focusing on the decision to delay one set of ammunition, everything else keeps flowing."
Thousands of truck/trailers are stuck on the Egyptian side of the Rafah border crossing since last week because of the Israeli occupation of the border. Most of the fresh products in the trucks have gone bad and there is a risk of other items to be destroyed if #Israel does not allow the help to get in.
Over 1 million Palestinians, most of the women, elderly and children are stuck in western #Rafah without access to food, medicine and water. The situation is getting worse every day as Israel keep bombing them and pushing forward with 100s of tanks and armored vehicles.
#IDF destroyed the last operating cell tow in Rafah and set it on fire.
One of the key goals of Israel is to prevent the world witnessing what they are doing in Gaza. From murder of reporters, preventing foreign press to enter and destroying the means of communication, they are setup up the stage for full blown assault on #Rafah and mass murder of innocent palestinians who have no where to go.
