It’s an Absolutely Terrifying Night in Gaza Right Now - eviltoast
Israel’s military began a heavy aerial bombardment of Gaza after nightfall on Friday and announced that it is “expanding” its ground operations into the territory—but did not declare a full-scale ground invasion that has been expected for weeks.Internet and phone service in Gaza has been mostly, if not entirely, cut off amid the bombing. The International Committee of the Red Cross cannot reach its medical personnel. A Washington Post reporter said the paper cannot reach its colleagues, either.S

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.”

        5 days for a comeback that weak?

        You should’ve left me crying after cooking up a little something for that long.

          I mean, sounds like your most advanced exposure to statistics was “this is a joint probability”

          Take a more advanced stats course. It’s really insightful and will open your mind.

        I think this is likely correct. Lemmy’s users skew very young. It explains a lot about what opinions, sentiments and views are and are not popular around here. Obviously there are some oldsters like myself, but I think we’re more the exception rather than the rule.

          That is continually changing as people find the site.

          Early adoption sites are always full of young people and extremists early on.
