[Beny Karachun]

Sorry but you targeted also civilians and innocents people. You literally killed a fucking 5 years old girl who didn't ask anything to the world.

Or you can target them when they are in private places and not in public where there is % of innocent high casualties. By your logic, you are ok by killing innocents people and a kid of 5 years old.

I can understand people easy to deceive in medieval age.

I can't understand in 2022.

Jihad terrorists have sequestrated Gaza people, they are the worst enemy of Palestinian people.

Anyone who rises to fight for freedom become enemy of the people, what typical Indian logic. As the Indians rose against the British evil empire so you are all terrorists and enemies of the people.

Did the Israelis give prior information to Hamas and P"I"J that this building would be targeted ? There are so many camerapersons covering that building. Suspicious.

No, we can't

Zionists are becoming weaker and Resistance becoming stronger. Since 2006's Israel defeat by Hezbollah, the zionists have been in defensive mode. They can't even get passed the Palestinian resistance. Once the Palestinians were throwing rocks, now its rockets, and those are constantly improving, with greater range, accuracy and speed. Just matter of time before the Zionist are forced to flee.
Sorry this isn't America in 1600s where europeans just took over an entire continent from the natives. Zionists are kept in a small patch of dirt and are being squeezed out.

 

[Hydration]

It is kind of insulting asking me that but anyway those are not protected by any moral norm and law as they act out of it completely, hope i was clear enough.
That being answered let me remark that all that isis thing is overblown and conviniemt clout to avoid any impactfull effort towards military side of struggle of Palestinian resistance amd i find that as insinciere attitude.
They are your people, i am sure some kind of arrangment could be made to avoid that in maximum extent possible but lets be honest Egypt does not want to mess with israel anymore at all even over proxies.

Seems like your hate to Egypt is beyond the meter
Your views take on an extreme side to justify terrorism on the soil of the neighbouring country which sacrificed development for its neighbour
If we didn't get involved at all and focused on our Economy and development we would've been a superpower with zero dignity.
We are not supposed to Help hamas not after they volunteered to snipe protesters holding cameras in 2012 and break to prisions in 2011 and not to mention their support for ISIS. We are forced to cooperate with hamas for the benefit of the Gazans and prevent Israel from invading the tiny strip. We are not providing our weapons on a golden plate for Iran and Israel to analyze and backfire at us

I do not hate you, i pity you and despise your chest trumping while you lick israel nuts.
Learn to differenitate between hate and highlighting objective facts, i know it is hard for you as your society is rotten to the core regarding critical thinking and subserviant to the "mighty' ones.
Your post is fascinating in sence how you are able to do discusting menthal gymnastic in order to divert from fact i mentioned above.

Multiple Palestinians killed, five homes destroyed in dozens of Israeli airstrikes in Rafah targeting PIJ commander Khalid Mansoor. Multiple families still being dug out the rubble.

Earlier 9 Palestinians, mostly children, were killed in an Israeli airstrike in northern Gaza.

We in Bosnia had our Gazas and no negotiations helped those exept firm and decisive military resistance. I would respect Egypt, Jordan and other Arab states to call for hijra of Palestinias that would show at least some honour instead what they do right now.

Oh that plan to migrate 3 million palestnians into sinai and leave the land for israel killing the cause? Right...

 

[Falcon29]

Israeli's attacked Gaza unprovoked, nobody understands why. Are they trying to scare Lebanon from exercising their rights to their gas fields? What's between them and Lebanon should never be exported to an impoverished and tiny strip. That's terrorism to the highest degree.

Tomorrow they plan to increase tensions with the Muslim world by storming the Al-Aqsa compound with thousands of settlers as well. Does not seem like a secular nor civilized country to me.

Updates:

-7 casualties received in AlNajjar Hospital after Israeli strike on home in Rafah.

Israeli jets pound Gaza in second day of attacks​

More homes are flattened, and Gaza’s sole power plant shuts down after running out of fuel.

Shortly before noon on Saturday, Israel stepped up air strikes on Gaza [Mohammed Salem/Reuters]
Published On 6 Aug 20226 Aug 2022
Israeli jets have pounded the besieged Gaza Strip for a second day following a wave of air strikes on the coastal enclave that killed at least 12 people, including a five-year-old girl and a commander of a Palestinian armed group.
The fighting, which began on Friday with Israel’s targeted killing of a senior commander of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, continued throughout the night, drawing the sides closer to an all-out war.

Shortly before noon on Saturday, Israel stepped up air strikes on Gaza, flattening a west Gaza City two-storey structure and badly damaging surrounding homes. Women and children rushed out of the area.
“Warned us? They warned us with rockets, and we fled without taking anything,” said Huda Shamallakh, who lived next door, adding that 15 people lived in the house that was targeted.
Reporting from Gaza, Al Jazeera’s Youmna ElSayed said that the attacks on Gaza “have not stopped since the early morning hours”.
Standing in front of another four-storey home flattened by an Israeli strike, ElSayed said the building had housed 30 residents.
“Israel is now targeting homes,” she said, explaining that several other residences in the Gaza Strip had been targeted. “A lot of people have fallen as casualties during the strikes, many of them children.”
Reporting from the Gaza-Israeli border, Al Jazeera’s John Holman said that the area was on high alert with people on the Israeli side sheltering as some rockets from Gaza fell onto southern Israel.
“We have the first report of injuries on the Israeli side – two soldiers,” he said, explaining that 160 rockets had been launched from Gaza into southern Israel since Friday.
“It gives you an indication of how uneven this fight between Israel – which has vast military capabilities – and the Islamic Jihad is,” he added.

Power plant shut down​

Also on Saturday, Gaza’s sole power plant shut down after running out of fuel, an electricity company spokesman said, five days after Israel closed its goods crossing with the Palestinian enclave.

“The power plant in Gaza has stopped due to the fuel shortage,” said Mohammed Thabet, spokesman for the electricity company.
The electricity supply is expected to plummet to just four hours a day, Thabet said.
Diesel for the power plant is usually trucked in from Egypt or Israel, which has maintained a blockade of the enclave since the armed group Hamas took control of Gaza in 2007.
In a statement earlier on Saturday, Gaza’s electricity company said the shutdown “will affect all public utilities and crucial installations and exacerbate the humanitarian situation”.
The company called on “all parties to urgently intervene and allow the entrance of fuel deliveries for the power plant to work”.
“This brings the people and health sector into a bigger crisis. There were eight hours of electricity in Gaza … this has been shortened to four. It will be nothing if fuel doesn’t enter the Strip,” said Al Jazeera’s ElSayed.
Gaza’s 2.3 million residents experience regular power shortages and last week received only an average of 10 hours of electricity per day, according to data from the UN’s humanitarian agency OCHA.

Escalating tensions​

The latest round of Israel-Gaza violence was sparked by the arrest this week of a senior Islamic Jihad commander in the occupied West Bank, part of a month-long Israeli military operation in the territory.
Citing a security threat, Israel then sealed roads around the Gaza Strip and on Friday killed Taysir al-Jabari, a commander of the al-Quds Brigades, in a targeted strike.
A blast was heard in Gaza City, where smoke poured from the seventh floor of a tall building. Video released by Israel’s military showed the strikes blowing up three towers.
The Palestinian Health Ministry said a five-year-old girl and a 23-year-old woman were among those killed in Gaza, and dozens of others were wounded.
Overnight, Israel arrested 19 Islamic Jihad members in the occupied West Bank, the Israeli military said.
In a nationally televised speech on Friday, Israeli Prime Minister Yair Lapid said his country launched the attacks based on “concrete threats”.
The violence poses an early test for Lapid, who assumed the role of caretaker prime minister ahead of elections in November, when he hopes to keep the position.
Lapid, a centrist former TV host and author, has experience in diplomacy having served as foreign minister in the outgoing government, but has thin security credentials.
A conflict with Gaza could burnish his standing and give him a boost as he faces off against former Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, a security hawk who led the country during three of its four wars with Hamas.
Hamas also faces a dilemma in deciding whether to join a new battle barely a year after the last war caused widespread devastation.
There has been almost no reconstruction since then, and the isolated coastal territory is mired in poverty, with unemployment hovering at about 50 percent.
Hamas spokesman Fawzi Barhoum said “the Israeli enemy, which started the escalation against Gaza and committed a new crime, must pay the price and bear full responsibility for it”.
