Palestinian civilians struggle to get bread in southern Gaza

A video circulating on social media has shown Palestinians crowding in front of a bakery in the southern Gaza Strip, amid warnings of a potential famine due to a shortage of essential food items and the closure of crossings.
In the video verified by Al Jazeera’s Sanad agency, journalist Hassan Aslayeh documented how the shortage of food is not limited to the besieged northern part of the enclave.

Translation: Getting a loaf of bread is the biggest suffering in the southern Gaza Strip.

‘Death in all types and forms’ in northern Gaza

Mohammed Obeid, an orthopaedic surgeon with Doctors Without Borders, has given a chilling account of the disastrous situation in and around the Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza.
Here is what he said:
“There is death in all types and forms in Kamal Adwan Hospital and north Gaza. The bombardment does not stop. The artillery does not stop. The planes do not stop. There is heavy shelling, and the hospital is targeted too. It just looks like a movie; it does not seem real.
“About five days ago, my house was hit. They completely blew up the roof and water tanks, but we were on the ground floor and only one person got injured, thank God. We left a few times, moving to different areas, my family and neighbours were terrified. I sheltered in Kamal Adwan Hospital with my wife and children, and I am now working here, where I can treat numerous patients.
“There are no words to describe the situation in Kamal Adwan Hospital. It is disastrous. The hospital is completely overwhelmed. There are injured people everywhere, outside and inside the hospital, and we do not have medical and surgical equipment to treat them.
“Ambulances cannot move. We cannot reach the bodies of the people killed and cannot save the injured ones who lie in the streets. Many of them died before reaching the hospital, and others died inside the hospital as we could not treat their wounds.
“We have 30 people dead inside the hospital, and around 130 injured patients who need urgent medical care. Medical staff are exhausted, and many are injured as well. We feel hopeless. I just don’t have words.
“We call on all the countries in the world to consider north Gaza, and to lift the blockade that has led to the death of so many people.”

Nordic countries ‘deeply concerned’ about UNRWA bill in Israeli parliament

Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Norway and Sweden have expressed “deep concern” over the introduction of draft legal bills in the Knesset that aim to prevent UNRWA from continuing operations in the occupied West Bank, including East Jerusalem, and Gaza.
In a joint statement, the Nordic countries said this would effectively mean that the UN agency for Palestinian refugees could no longer “be able to exercise its core tasks” as stipulated by a 1949 UN General Assembly resolution.
The proposed draft bill “may entail the violation of Israel’s obligations under international law, including international humanitarian law, and the legally binding provisional measures ordered by the International Court of Justice”, according to the statement.
The foreign ministers of the five countries wrote that this is while UNRWA is the most centrally placed agency to assist Palestinians across the region.
“In the midst of an ongoing catastrophic humanitarian situation in Gaza, a halt to any of the organisation’s activities would have devastating consequences for the hundreds of thousands of civilians served by UNRWA,” the statement says.

West Bank teachers keep up Gaza children’s education online

About 5,000 teachers in the occupied West Bank are using online platforms to teach Palestinian children in the besieged Gaza Strip, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Education.
Small education centres have also been established inside makeshift tents for the displaced in Gaza, Minister Amjad Barham said, adding that an estimated 220,000 children are pursuing their education online amid the Israeli attacks that have destroyed most schools.

“And do not think of those who have been killed in the way of Allah as dead. Rather, they are alive with their Lord, receiving provision.”

With the highest expressions of pride, honor, and confidence in Allah's imminent victory, the Martyr Izz El-Din al-Qassam Brigades mourns the great leader of the Islamic resistance in Lebanon:

The great Jihadi leader
Hashem Safieddine
Head of Hezbollah's Executive Council

Who was martyred on the path to Al-Quds along with a group of his fellow fighters in a brutal zionist airstrike that targeted them in Lebanon.

The Al-Qassam Brigades commends the role of the martyr, leader Hashem Safieddine, in supporting the Palestinian people and their resistance. He is also remembered for his great contributions in building and strengthening the resistance front against the zionist occupation over many long years.

Indeed, it is jihad of victory or martyrdom.

Director of Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip:
—
We are unable to provide healthcare services to the injured and sick due to the depletion of medical supplies.

More than 150 people in the hospital are in critical condition.

Every passing minute could cost the lives of the injured.

The types of medicines and medical supplies have reached zero in the hospital due to the “israeli” siege.

We cannot provide blood units for the wounded, and every hour an injured person turns into a martyr due to the lack of medical supplies and tools.

The world must act, as there is a real massacre and “israeli” genocide affecting everyone in the northern part of the strip.

"CNN says an IDF soldier has suffered trauma because he had to run over too many Palestinians with his D9 armored bulldozer. Says he can’t eat meat anymore because he had to drive over so much human meat (he actually called it “meat”) and it reminds him of all the blood and guts and bones and tissue that would come squirting out when he ran over them

Poor IDF soldier, can’t even enjoy a Big Mac anymore, can’t even bite into a big juicy McGenocide burger, can’t even masticate a mouthful of gore without being haunted by visions of human torsos and skulls spurting guts and brains as he plowed over them “dead and alive” in the killing fields of Gaza. Can’t even enjoy his Children McNuggets without remembering all the kids he killed, all the tiny bodies, shredded bodies, bulldozed bodies, body parts packed into the treads of the bulldozer, getting caught in the works, having to pull them out by hand because by golly we need to use it some more tomorrow.

And the CNN man says So sad! So sad! A man’s got to have his meat. Got to bite into it, feel it dribbling down his chin, hear it screaming and begging for help, hear it crying out for its mother one last time and then nothing but snapping and crunching and chewing and swallowing and washing it down with hard liquor to kill off the feelings in his chest, the feelings that won’t ever go away, that pound like mortar fire when he awakens from red dreams about screaming and spurting and crunching and popping, and remembers that he used to be an innocent young child like the tiny red ghosts who haunt his nights.

And we live the McGenocide too, don’t we? We live it right alongside him here in this crazy country where we laugh and joke and eat buckets of meat slop while our government turns humans into bulldozer mince in Gaza. Grinning Black Hole Sun grins with meat dribbling down our chins while the sky turns red and the birds turn into Reaper drones, giggling at our podcasts and getting mad at the Uber Eats driver for being five minutes late with our next plate full of carnage.

And we have the nightmares too, don’t we? Waking trembling with terror at what we’ve allowed, what we’ve helped make possible, what we tacitly consent to while we distract ourselves with smartphones and streaming services and porn and gossip and the ridiculous fake election for America’s next fake president and plate after plate of bleeding red meat.

Our teeth grow sharper and our hearts grow harder, and the smoke stacks fill the air with a horrifying stench. In this genocide town, this ghost town, this meat town, it’s essential to learn how to drown out the feelings and bark and bray at the blood red moon until dawn because it beats the hell out of sleeping and dreaming and remembering, remembering what we have done, and where we are going, and what we have become, and what we are still becoming".

They are targeting Anas Al-Sharif and Hasam Shbat specially because of their reach, both are covering the North Gaza non-stop despite having threats. The sheer hypocrisy of the world, where is western media?? Where is IFJ and all other organisations?

"For over 76 years, “Israel” has manufactured lies, twisted narratives, and constructed a false identity to justify the genocide of Palestinians. Today, they have taken their brutality to new depths, targeting hospitals, blowing up ambulances, executing aid workers, and now shamelessly murdering journalists—all while trying to manufacture consent for their crimes. This isn’t new; for decades they’ve manipulated media, corrupted international bodies, and weaponized the language of “self-defense” to wipe out an entire people, to erase Palestine.

But make no mistake: this is no self-defense. This is state-sponsored terror. This is a colonial power, born out of imperialistic theft and bloodshed, using the language of security to unleash genocide in Gaza. This isn’t just a war against a people; it’s a war against truth itself, where every hospital bed, every press badge, every volunteer with food and water becomes a target for annihilation.

They’ve been crafting this narrative for over 76 years, molding it into a weapon as lethal as any bomb they drop. For a year, they’ve tried to soften the world to accept the mass slaughter of Palestinians, but their project began decades ago with the dispossession, massacre, and erasure of our people to build their illegitimate state. The world is being asked to consent to genocide, to stand by as history repeats its ugliest chapters in broad daylight.

The crimes are not just in Gaza, they are against the very concept of justice. The IOF doesn’t just drop bombs, it drops lies, manufacturing the consent of the global powers who profit from the blood of the oppressed. Every bomb that falls, every life that is taken, is a reminder that this colonial project depends on one thing—our silence. And it is our duty to be ruthless in our rejection of it, to tear apart their narratives, to fight their imperialistic machine with truth, resistance, and unwavering solidarity for the people of Palestine.

We will not consent to their lies. We will not stand silent while they turn our grief into numbers, our dead into statistics, our pain into propaganda. The world must wake up to the reality: this is a genocide. And “Israel” will never be legitimate, no matter how many bombs it drops, how many bodies it buries, or how many lies it tells."

The Electronic Intifada on Instagram: "This week, the Associated Press reported rather matter of factly that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu “is examining a plan to seal off humanitarian aid to northern Gaza in an attempt to starve out Hamas militants, a plan that, if implemented, could trap without food or water hundreds of thousands of Palestinians unwilling or unable to leave their homes.” Any Palestinians remaining in northern Gaza – a large area including Gaza City – “would be considered combatants – meaning military regulations would allow troops to kill them – and denied food, water, medicine and fuel.” But that intensified genocide-by-starvation plan is already well underway. On Saturday, the United Nations World Food Programme said that no food aid has entered northern Gaza since 1 October. “People have run out of ways to cope, food systems have collapsed, and the risk of famine is real,” Antoine Renard, WFP country director for Palestine, said. In reality, Palestinians in northern Gaza, particularly children, have been starving to death for months as the direct result of Israel’s declared policy of cutting off all life-sustaining supplies to the territory. Yet while Israel is open about its intentions, it could not carry out this mass-murder by starvation without the aid and support of the United States – which still purports to be working towards getting more aid into Gaza. Following the news brief from Nora Barrows-Friedman, we’ll speak about the situation with Laila Al-Arian. An Emmy and Peabody award-winning journalist, Laila is executive producer of Al Jazeera’s flagship documentary series Fault Lines. A recent episode, “Starving Gaza,” documents how the United States government has been knowingly covering up for Israel as it deliberately starves Palestinians to death. This is a segment from The Electronic Intifada's day 376 livestream. Ali Abunimah, Nora Barrows-Friedman, Jon Elmer and Asa Winstanley were joined by EI contributor Abubaker Abed live from the Gaza Strip, and award winning journalist Laila Al-Arian. The full broadcast is available to watch on YouTube, Rumble and Twitter/X, or you can listen to it on your preferred podcast."

THREAD: (Via Threaderapp)

Israel has committed a significant number of war crimes in Lebanon over the past 72 hours, facilitated by U.S. political cover. This was demonstrated through Amos Hochstein’s visit to Beirut yesterday and Antony Blinken’s trip to Israel today, once again showing how the U.S. wields diplomacy as a weapon of mass destruction. 1/

Hochstein’s proposal has been roundly condemned as a "surrender deal," offering Lebanon de facto Israeli occupation, by tightening the noose on Hizbullah and effectively placing the country under indirect Israeli control, in exchange for an ultimately unsustainable cease-fire. 2/

As revealed by al-Akhbar newspaper, Hochstein's plan would extend US and Israeli control over Lebanon by making significant revisions to UN Resolution 1701. The plan would broaden the authority of “international” forces — meaning allies of Israel—beyond the Litani River, granting them the power to inspect and patrol without Lebanese consent. It calls for more troops, increased foreign surveillance of Lebanon’s borders, ports, and airports, and allows these forces to enter private property with the Lebanese army. 3/

In short, Hochstein’s proposal exclusively serves Israel’s interests and makes a mockery of Lebanon’s sovereignty by framing Hizbullah, a political actor that is deemed as legal and legitimate by the Lebanese state and which is deeply embedded in the country's social and political fabric, as the primary threat, rather than Israel, Lebanon's declared enemy since its inception in 1948. 4/

Given Israel's inability to invade South Lebanon, or return settlers to the north over the past three weeks, it is now attempting to achieve politically what it has failed to secure militarily. To this end, Israel is resorting to pressure tactics against the Speaker of Parliament and AMAL leader Nabih Berri, who is the main interlocutor in the ongoing talks with Hochstein. This explains the recent massacres and bombings in AMAL-controlled areas, including Ouzai, near the Hariri Hospital in Jnah, and in Tahwita, as well as the thinly veiled threats to target the Sahel Hospital, run by an AMAL-affiliated MP, under the pretext of an alleged Hizbullah bunker storing money and gold beneath it. 5/

Israel’s characteristic colonial hubris and grandiosity may explain its belief that it can subjugate Lebanon and force Hizbullah to capitulate despite failing to make any meaningful military gains. What’s more perplexing is how the U.S., typically more rational than Israel, could expect this approach to succeed. Unless, of course, the Biden-Harris administration, seeking to rehabilitate neocon doctrine, has decided to pursue yet another "forever war," where conflict becomes an end in itself and diplomacy serves merely as a facade for domestic and international consumption. 6/

Palestinians in northern Gaza chased by Israeli quadcopters


Hani Mahmoud

We spent the whole day listening to people who made their way out of the northern cities of the Gaza Strip at gunpoint.

It’s been 19 days of ongoing bombardment, with the Israeli military having destroyed all means of life, including water tanks on rooftops and solar panels, in order to force people out of their homes. As soon as people came out, they were chased by the quadcopters into narrow areas where the Israeli military set up checkpoints.

We have seen images of Palestinians, in particular men, being lined up by the Israeli military, blindfolded and handcuffed, made to wear white coats, and then led into unknown areas for interrogation outside the Gaza Strip.

We have seen other footage of women and children being led into big holes in the ground where Israeli soldiers kept them before forcing them out and instructing them to take only one road into western Gaza City.

Hezbollah launches ‘suicide’ drones at Israeli army base near Haifa

Hezbollah fighters have initiated “an air attack with a swarm of explosives-laden drones” on an Israeli military base south of Haifa.
The strikes were carried out “in response to” Israeli attacks and dedicated to slain Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah, who was killed in an Israeli strike last month, a statement said.

Hezbollah says it killed about 70 Israeli soldiers in weeks of clashes

Hezbollah says its fighters killed more than 70 Israeli troops in its clashes with Israeli forces, updating a statement from last week saying 55 were killed since a ground invasion was launched earlier this month.
Israel has said it lost about 20 soldiers inside Lebanon since its ground operations began, and 30 more in Hezbollah attacks on northern Israel.

Hezbollah says launched rockets at Tel Aviv suburbs

Lebanon’s Hezbollah says it struck a military manufacturing firm in the Tel Aviv suburbs with rockets, claiming the attack was successful.
It hit a “military industries company in the suburbs of Tel Aviv with qualitative rockets and hit the target accurately”, the group said.

Thank you for posting this. I'm wondering is the above text written by the EI? I'm thankful for the many journalists and authors who have accurately framed the assault on Palestine, and this writing is as important as any. Every paragraph- every sentence and word is perfectly placed, aiming arrows through the hypocrisy of Israel and their enablers.

We will not consent to their lies. We will not stand silent while they turn our grief into numbers, our dead into statistics, our pain into propaganda. The world must wake up to the reality: this is a genocide. And “Israel” will never be legitimate, no matter how many bombs it drops, how many bodies it buries, or how many lies it tells.

As a matter of interest, were Gazans happily living there for many years with plenty of food, water, electricity etc?
If so, why did Hamas do Oct 7th, what was the purpose? What were they hoping to achieve?
