Middle East Violence (content may offend)

I mean Hamas haven't exactly helped here have they though?

Enlighten me I suppose.

Israel refused to start any phase 2 talks and then engaged in a blockade of food and energy.
Hamas seemed to push for a permanent ceasefire, as per the original agreed and refused the extension.

Israel has killed over 500 since the 'ceasefire'.

Hamas should give back any hostages and bodies but surely Israel should stop bombing and sieging the strip.

Yes, it had nothing to do with Bibi Netancuntyu having to appear in court yesterday for his long awaited corruption trial, which had to then be postponed by the court due to "security concerns".

What kind of sicko fuck do you have to be to specifically target tents for already displaced people, with now another over 130 children dead? And Israeli Zionist one I guess.

Best part is people still want to find a way to blame Hamas for it

I imagine Hamas are going to be very reluctant to release any more hostages, when they aren't being released, the bombing starts, so the second they are all released, there'll have no leverage to stop the bombing.

And it doesn't look like Israel will ever stop at this point, I'm not sure what is left for them to bomb.

I'm not sure where things go from here.

Agreed. It's very bleak.

IDF probes to reveal first 72 hours of fighting with Hamas on October 7

The IDF would need an additional three to four days to flesh out pockets of Hamas fighters who took up smaller positions or who were hiding in ambush in various areas.

Around 10:30 a.m., the air force issued the “Hannibal Directive” order – basically to fire on anything that was moving on the Israel-Gaza border – but the probe will show that pilots were still squeamish about this for fear of hitting hostages who they might not be able to see.

Also around 10:30 a.m., air force jets started bombing Hamas command positions with 1,000 pound MK-84 bombs.

The air force would carry out about 945 attacks, with helicopters firing 11,000 times.

As has been mentioned a hundred times. The Hannibal Directive was ordered. Those images of cars strewn all over the place and completely burnt out that people questioned was not from Hamas but likely from IDF helicopter fire.

Mentioned at the time that Kibbutz homes were fired upon by Israeli tanks.

Also in the past week we've had conversations between Chief of staff and Netanyhu provided, from the first 48 hours of the response to Oct 7.
Bascially CoS says we have 1500 targets.
Netanyahus response was "Why only 1,500? Why not 5,000?" Halevi responded that only 1,500 targets were approved. Netanyahu's responded: "I don't care about the targets. Destroy the homes, bomb everything in Gaza."

Yet we'll continue with the human shield and moral army narrative.

Israel killed 15 Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers one by one, says UN

Workers on a mission to help colleagues were buried in mass grave in southern Gaza, says humanitarian office

www.theguardian.com

Fifteen Palestinian paramedics and rescue workers, including at least one United Nations employee, were killed by Israeli forces “one by one” and buried in a mass grave eight days ago in southern Gaza, the UN has said.

“Seven days ago, civil defence and PRCS ambulances arrived at the scene,” the head of Ocha in Palestine, Jonathan Whittall, said in a video statement. “One by one, [the paramedics and civil defense workers] were hit, they were struck. Their bodies were gathered and buried in this mass grave.

“We’re digging them out in their uniforms, with their gloves on. They were here to save lives. Instead, they ended up in a mass grave,” Whittall said. “These ambulances have been buried in the sand. There’s a UN vehicle here, buried in the sand. A bulldozer – Israeli forces bulldozer – has buried them.”

Genocide continues.
