Israel said it had largely secured the Gaza border and was evacuating nearby towns where the bodies of 1,500 Hamas militants had been recovered by Tuesday after days of gruelling battles outside the Palestinian enclave.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has warned Israel’s military campaign following Saturday’s surprise onslaught was only the start of a sustained war to destroy Hamas and “change the Middle East”.
Fears of a regional conflagration have surged amid expectations of a looming Israeli ground incursion into Gaza, the crowded enclave from where Hamas launched its land, air and sea attack on the Jewish Sabbath.
The death toll in Israel has surged above 900 from the worst attack in the country’s 75-year history, while Gaza officials have reported 687 people killed so far.
Hamas gunmen massacred more than 100 people in the kibbutz of Beeri alone, said Moti Bukjin, a volunteer with the charity Zaka that recovers bodies in accordance with Jewish law.
At this point you don’t need to provide names and triple sourcing for the mere mention of Israel killing civilians including children.
I’ve seen a lot of videos of Hamas killing civilians, Including children
I don’t doubt it. But can you show me one of Hamas killing children?
There’s been plenty of references in the tabloid media today of babies decapitated or otherwise mutilated by Hamas in the attack on Kfar Aza
I’m holding out for a more reputable source like reuters to explicitly say it though.
I have personally seen convincing videos/pictures of Hamas (targeting/having targeted) civilian cars (Which as far as your average Hamas militant is concerned could contain children), The elderly at bus stations, Young women. So extending that list of atrocities to include baby murder doesn’t seem that far fetched
Oh I don’t doubt it. But that’s the thing with Hamas: they do enough bad stuff that people will believe anything of them. So they can be awful and still also the subject of fog of war lies at the same time.
I’m concerned with the hysteria I see around them. They behead babies! They rape women on top of piles of dead bodies! Because that hysteria is designed to ready the world to excuse absolutely anything Israel might do next.
And let’s face it: Israel kills a lot of kids too. And they have a hell of a lot more power to kill kids than Hamas.
the difference being Israel isn’t targeting kids, Hamas hide behind them
Here you go. thought it would take a bit of time for the pics to start coming out
NSFL obviously
spoiler
Horrifying.
I hope everyone feels the same when they see Israel vaporizing 10-story buildings in dense urban districts. How many babies turned to paste in that rubble? Yet somehow Israel has actually released videos like this with pride to show the strength of their wrath.
WHAT ABOUT, WHAT ABOUT, WHAT ABOUT
i hope every day that Hamas stop using civilians of all ages as human shields
You cannot decry one side of a LITERAL WAR and cry whataboutism on any mention of the other side.
I wasn’t even engaging in whataboutism. If I were trying to excuse Hamas because Israel does similar things, that would be whataboutism.
I’m saying they’re both terrible and you seem to be saying NO ONLY LOOK AT ONE.
