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.”
US State Department official resigns, says US report on #Gaza inaccurate
A U.S. State Department official who quit this week said on Thursday her resignation was precipitated by an administration report to #Congress that she said falsely stated #Israel was not blocking #humanitarian aid to Gaza, prompting her to resign in protest of President Joe #Biden's Israel policy.
Stacy Gilbert, who served in the State Department’s Bureau of Population, Refugees and Migration, was a subject matter expert working on the report.
"There is so clearly a right and wrong, and what is in that report is wrong," Gilbert said in an interview.
Two Red Crescent paramedics were murdered by #IDF while they were working in #Rafah last night. Their ambulance was hit directly and intentionally.
Of course the usual excuse by IDF is that there were #Hamas fighters in the ambulances. Ignoring that injured fighters are not legitimate targets, specially if they are inside an ambulance receiving care.
The Israeli army justifies the bombing and burning of the displaced in an UNRWA displacement camp in #Rafah, claiming that it is “a #Hamas compound”.
The #UNRWA displaced camp, which was designated as a safe area to which thousands of civilians were pushed, was targeted with 8 bombs, killing at least 35, most of whom are women and children.
🇺🇦 downed 31 of 31 #Shahed drones, and 12 of 12 Kh-101/555 missiles
🇷🇺 lost over 1,100 personnel
🇷🇺 commits another #WarCrime, bombed Central Park and 'Epicenter', a busy civilian shopping mall in #Kharkiv. So far, 12 people were reported killed and 43 injured
The International Criminal Court announced that it is filing arrest warrants for colonial prime minister Benjamin #Netanyahu and colonial war minister Yoav #Gallant, on the grounds that they have committed war crimes in their aggression on #Gaza. The charges leveled against them include intentional starvation, extermination, and persecution.
The Court is also issuing arrest warrants for the leader of Hamas in Gaza Yahya Sinwar, Commander-in-Chief Mohammed Deif, and head of #Hamas political bureau Ismail #Haniyeh.
The United Nations has suspended food distribution in the southern Gaza city of Rafah due to lack of supplies and insecurity.
It also said no aid trucks have entered the territory in the past two days via a floating pier set up by the US for sea deliveries, and warned that the $320m (£250m) project may fail unless Israel starts providing the conditions humanitarian groups need to operate safely.
#Norway's Minister of Foreign Affairs, Espen Barth Eide, stated that Norway is now obligated to arrest #Netanyahu if he visits the country after the International Criminal Court issues a decision for his arrest for war crimes in Gaza.
This marks the first country to announce its intention to arrest Netanyahu amid global reluctance following #US threats.
In the most heroic act of self defense, Israeli military destroyed the flower roundabout in Nablus in occupied West Bank.
The criminal actions of IDF in occupied west bank is not receiving much publicity, but they are attacking every town in under Palestinian control under the cover of fighting "Terrorists" but in reality, they are destroying roads, infrastructure, bakeries, schools, electric poles, cellphone base station and hospitals and medical centers.
These actions can not in any way counted as self-defense or justified in a fight against Hamas or even the PA, these actions are to make lives of Palestinian unbearable and to punish them in the most barbaric ways.
And again, the so called civilized world is standing by silent and in compliance fully behind these atrocities while punishing and muzzling those who raise their voices against these crimes.
The #US House speaker, Mike Johnson, says that the House may vote on sanctions against the International Criminal Court for seeking an arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu.
"Congress is reviewing all options, including sanctions, to punish the #ICC and ensure its leadership faces consequences if they proceed," he said in a statement.
Britain's defense minister challenges the international court: Arrest warrant requests against Netanyahu and Gallant will not affect our continued arms exports to Israel.
Isn't they just lovely people? They are for law and order
