The #IDF says it completed a war simulation exercise over the past week, as part of preparations for an escalation in northern #Israel.

The drill, carried out by the Northern Command and other General Staff directorates and wings, included "many scenarios that simulate the expansion of the war in the northern arena, and multi-front war scenarios," the military says.

The IDF also says that as part of the drill, the 36th Division simulated "combat scenarios in the northern arena."

IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi visited the Northern Command's underground command center, the Israeli Air Force's command center, and other war rooms amid the drill, the military adds.

On the morning of May 11, the #Israeli army spokesperson announced that the #military had begun a new operation in #Jabalia, the city and adjacent refugee camp in northern #Gaza. Evacuation orders were issued to #Palestinian residents of several neighborhoods, but many have been unable to leave; others have decided to stay, given the lack of any safe areas throughout the Strip.

The latest Israeli attack on the camp, involving both aircraft and ground troops, has had devastating consequences: the #army has bombed and bulldozed entire residential squares, markets, and food warehouses, exacerbating the already desperate humanitarian crisis, while corpses remain scattered in the streets.

Sabri Abu Al-Nasr, 43 years old, is a resident of the camp who took refuge in the #UNRWA-affiliated Al-Fakhoura #School, in an attempt to escape the Israeli bombing. “The conditions in the camp are terrible, and no one is spared from the artillery and air bombardment,” he told +972. “Israeli snipers are on high buildings — they shoot at every moving object.

On Oct. 29, Abu Al-Nasr lost his wife Nisreen (40) and his children Nisma (16), Hamza (14), and Mohammad (13) when Israel bombed a residential square adjacent to the family’s home. Their bodies remain trapped under the rubble, preventing Abu al-Nasr from being able to properly bury his loved ones. Seven months later, amid a new Israeli assault, he says “the smell of death and blood wafts throughout the camp.”

Israeli deadly #robots; The new weapon of the regime in the Gaza war

During the genocidal war and non-stop aggressive attacks against the Gaza strip, the IDF soldiers use remote-controlled robots that are used to perform various military missions such as reconnaissance, imaging, search and explosion.

During the recent attacks on the #Jabalia camp, the IDF widely used explosive robots; Especially in places where it was not possible to enter due to the intensity of the resistance.

Two Red Crescent paramedics were murdered by #IDF while they were working in #Rafah last night. Their ambulance was hit directly and intentionally.

Of course the usual excuse by IDF is that there were #Hamas fighters in the ambulances. Ignoring that injured fighters are not legitimate targets, specially if they are inside an ambulance receiving care.

But Geneva convention doesn't apply to Israel unless we hold them accountable.

New McCarthy in #UK: Former #Labour candidate Faiza Shaheen has been suspended from the Labour Party for liking a video by American Jewish comedian, Jon Stewart, which criticizes Israel's apologists. British media described the video as "downplaying antisemitism accusations."

This is just unbelievable. The labour party is turning into a front for #IDF in UK.

The war the media doesn't show us: The #IDF's General Staff lost control over the units, especially reserve units, months ago. In Gaza, in the #WestBank and in bases in Israel, soldiers record themselves destroying Palestinian property and civilian infrastructure | Amos Harel

🔶️ Blowing up homes without permission and spreading political messages identified with the far right. What is photographed and distributed is only the tip of the iceberg

🔶️ The vast majority of offenses are committed beyond the range of cameras, and in the vast majority of these cases, the army responds weakly if at all. Some of the incidents are serving #ICJ prosecutors as proof of the allegations against Israel

It is like clock work, always the same lies: The Israeli military suspects that munitions or some other combustible substance caused a secondary explosion and subsequent fire at a complex housing displaced Gazans in Rafah, following an airstrike aimed at two top Hamas assets.

The incident resulted in the deaths of Palestinian civilians, and an investigation is ongoing.

The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) had been tracking Hamas commanders Yassin Rabia and Khaled Najjar prior to the strike on the compound in the Tel Sultan neighborhood in western Rafah on Sunday night. According to #IDF intelligence, the area had been utilized for Hamas activities, including a nearby rocket launcher.

The military clarified that the strike occurred outside the designated “humanitarian zone” in the al-Mawasi region, which is over a kilometer away from the targeted compound. Steps were taken to ensure no civilians, particularly women and children, were present in the Hamas compound at the time of the attack.

Israeli fighter jets employed two small munitions, each carrying a 17-kilogram warhead, to minimize the risk of civilian casualties due to the proximity to the camp for displaced Palestinians.

Initial investigations by the IDF indicate that the two small missiles alone would not have been sufficient to ignite the fire. The probe suggests that ammunition, weapons, or other materials stored in the vicinity may have caused a secondary explosion and the resulting fire.

The decision to bomb a crowded displaced camp in order to kill two Hamas activists needs to be investigated by the International Criminal Court.

These investigations, as they are ongoing, deal with details and not mainly - decision makers and policy makers, the political rank and command that outlines the policies of attacking citizens, widespread destruction and population starvation have not been investigated and will not be investigated by israel
Following the global shock of the widespread killing in the camp, the Prime Minister, IDF spokesman and chief military prosecutor said that israel will investigate the events.
The Chief Military Prosecutor said the incident would be investigated by the "Chief Investigation Mechanism", a body Israel established after previous investigative mechanisms it was operating were found to not meet the most basic standards – of effectiveness, professionalism, objective, and transparency. In fact, it is another cover up tool.
As documented in studies by Bt'Selem and other human rights organizations, investigations of this kind are intended to create a false representation of internal investigation, in order to prevent the International Criminal Court from intervening and independently investigating the events.
Bt'Selem explained and fished that Israel does not want and can't investigate its actions in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip. For example in the report "cover-up procedure" that examined their alleged investigation of the events of Zuk Eitan: https://www.btselem.org/hebrew/press_releases/20160920_whitewash_protocol (in #Hebrew)

פחות מיממה לאחר הריגתם של עשרות אזרחים, בהם 23 נשים וילדים, בהפצצה הישראלית על מחנה עקורים צפוף, נכנס מנגנון הטיוח הישראלי לפעולה. בעקבות הזעזוע העולמי מן הקטל הנרחב במחנה, אמרו ראש הממשלה, דובר צה"ל והפרקליטה הצבאית הראשית, כי ישראל תחקור את האירועים.

הפרקליטה הצבאית הראשית אמרה כי האירוע ייחקר על ידי "מנגנון הבדיקה המטכ"לי", גוף שישראל הקימה לאחר שמנגנוני החקירה הקודמים שהפעילה נתגלו ככאלה שאינם עונים לסטנדרטים הבסיסיים ביותר – של אפקטיביות, מקצועיות, אובייקטיביות, ושקיפות. למעשה, זהו עוד כלי של טיוח.

כפי שתועד במחקרים של בצלם ושל ארגוני זכויות אדם נוספים, חקירות מסוג זה מיועדות לייצר מצג שווא של חקירה פנימית, כדי למנוע מבית הדין הפלילי הבינלאומי להתערב ולחקור באופן עצמאי את האירועים.

בצלם הסביר והדגים כי ישראל איננה רוצה ואיננה יכולה לחקור את פעולותיה בגדה המערבית וברצועת עזה. כך למשל בדוח 'נוהל טיוח' שבדק את חקירתם לכאורה של אירועי צוק איתן >>https://www.btselem.org/.../20160920_whitewash_protocol
חקירות אלו, ככל שמתקיימות, עוסקות בפרטים ולא בעיקר - מקבלי ההחלטות וקובעי המדיניות, הדרג המדיני והפיקודי שמתווה את המדיניות של תקיפת אזרחים, הרס נרחב והרעבה של אוכלוסייה לא נחקרו ולא ייחקרו על ידי ישראל.

את ההחלטה להפציץ מחנה עקורים צפוף בכדי להרוג שני פעילי חמאס צריך לחקור בית הדין הפלילי הבינלאומי.

Rafah: Israelischer Luftangriff auf Vertriebenenlager – Dutzende Tote befürchtet - DER SPIEGEL https://www.spiegel.de/ausland/rafah-israelischer-luftangriff-auf-vertriebenenlager-dutzende-tote-befuerchtet-a-9977d04d-abb3-47dd-827e-9605c4f3e043

Ich bin versucht, Spock zu zitieren: "Faszinierend." Nicht das Ereignis, sondern die Meldung, bzw ursprünglich die Verlautbarung der IDF dazu.

Die israelische Armee erklärte, bei dem Luftangriff sei ein »Hamas-Komplex in Rafah getroffen worden, in dem wichtige Hamas-Terroristen tätig waren«.

Das war ein Flüchtlingslager der UN, errichtet in einer von den IDF dazu zugewiesenen Zone.

Der Angriff mit »Präzisionsmunition« habe sich gegen »legitime Ziele« gerichtet. »Präzise Geheimdienstinformationen« hätten auf die Nutzung des Geländes durch die Hamas hingewiesen.

Merken wir uns diese beiden Aussagen erstmal.

Neben Jassin Rabia, dem maßgeblichen Kopf hinter den Terroraktivitäten der Islamistenorganisation im Westjordanland, sei auch das ranghohe Hamas-Mitglied Chaled Nagar getötet worden.

Man wusste also ganz genau 1) wer dort war, 2) in welchem Zelt und 3) dass sie getötet wurden. Leider konnte man aus irgendwelchen Gründen nicht mit Soldaten reingehen, auch niemanden festnehmen und vor Gericht stellen, sondern musste Bomben werfen.

Der Luftangriff sei im Einklang mit internationalem Recht erfolgt, erklärte das Militär weiter.

Welches Recht wäre das? Die Haager Landkriegsordnung kann es nicht sein, die erlaubt sowas explizit nicht. Also welches imaginäre Recht soll das sein?

Die Berichte, dass infolge des Luftangriffs ein Feuer ausgebrochen sei, bei dem Unbeteiligte verletzt worden seien, würden überprüft.

Jetzt muss ich Loriot zitieren: "Ach." Man wusste genau, welche beiden Personen wann wo waren und dass sie getötet wurden, hat aber dabei das Feuer nicht bemerkt? Das erinnert irgendwie an die Zerstörung des sogenannten "AP-Gebäudes", in dem mehrere ausländische Nachrichtenagenturen ihre Büros hatten:

Die IDF hatten alle Mietsparteien angerufen und erklärt, dass das Gebäude in einer Stunde zerstört würde. Das geschah auch und die IDF erklärten daraufhin, dass das Gebäude von Hamas genutzt worden wäre. Von der ausländischen Presse wollte man nichts gewusst haben. Die ausländische Presse wiederum hatte nie Hamas im Gebäude bemerkt...

Aber zurück zu "legitimen Zielen": Die Bundesregierung wurde vor einer Weile gefragt, was sie dazu sagen würde, sollten die IDF das Berliner Regierungsviertel bombardieren, weil sich dort angeblich Vertreter von Hamas verstecken. Leider gab es keine Antwort.

Aber ich frage mich, ob die IDF wohl einfach einen Bus in Israel in die Luft jagen würden, wenn jemand von Hamas diesen gekidnappt und die Fahrgäste als "menschliche Schutzschilde" benutzt hätte...

Deadly clashes between Palestinian resistance and Israeli occupation forces are reported in eastern and central #Rafah with 100sof thousands of innocent civilians stock in between.

#IDF is bombing Rafah from sea, air and ground while Palestinians fighting against heavily armed Israeli forces with riffles and RPGs.

People in Rafah haven't received any food since Israel took over Rafah crossing. All the water pipes except one have been cut off and almost half a million people living on 1/8th of what is the minimum amount needed for humans to survive.

@IDF is #ISIS : A photo of an IDF soldier inside al-Aqsa University in Gaza City, with books burning behind him, has been circulating on social media around the world in the last few hours and has sparked outrage.

There's nothing much to add to what this picture shows and what it says about #IDF.

They act exactly like the acts of the Mongolians, the Taliban and the ISIS. They destroy knowledge and history m they thrive in denying their enemies the ability to learn and to remember.

But the western liberals and disgusting people who blindly support this monstrous colonialist creation of the mixture of nationalism, white supremacy and religious fanaticism just like the Nazis back in 1930s.

This is just yet another example of the rottenness of the basics foundation of the Zionism and it's ongoing crimes against the Palestinians and anyone around the world who oppose their extremist ideology and acts.
