It’s an Absolutely Terrifying Night in Gaza Right Now - eviltoast

Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

      What you are getting wrong is that they ARE “glassing” the entirety of Gaza, with almost no restraint. That is not excusable, no matter which enemy you are fighting. The thing is, they won’t be able to kill Hamas either way, it’s only a choice between less Palestinian civilian casualties and more of them

        Bold claims require strong evidence.

        Both of your sources don’t claim what you’re saying… The second is by an unnamed government official (which should always be taken with a grain of salt), but even they say that the strikes are the north of the gaxa strip, which had been ordered to evacuate. This means that warnings have been issued. The first source claims to quote an IDF official, but they quote they have in the article is not what was said in the source they give for it. Reading their source clearly shows that the IDF official said that only Hamas buildings were targeted…

      Where is the evidence that they are not just randomly bombing? Knocking? Do they send a telegram?

      They are a professional army assaulting the most densely populated area in the world. Not letting refugees pass through their lines is already a war crime. Instead they seem to be compressing the population more and blaming Hamas for having the gall to fight at all.

      You don’t get to accuse the other side of using human shields as you kettle more civilians in with them.
