Hamas says Israeli strikes have killed some captives and it will kill another if bombing without warning continues

Highlight:

“I have ordered a complete siege on the Gaza Strip. There will be no electricity, no food, no water, no fuel, everything is closed,” Gallant said. “We are fighting human animals and we are acting accordingly.”

        I mean they’ve been like that since forever, but now they’re showing their true colors (more than they were).

        I don’t think it is outside of the realm of possibility that in 30 years we learn that the Mossad knew about this and were ordered to let it happen. The intelligence fuckup was so enormous that it seems plausible they at least knew something was up. And the Israeli government has proven itself cynical enough to lend such a thought possible.

          There was rumor that they were observed training for this and the authorities told something was up. Which they seemingly ignored. Defense forces have to be right all the time however. Attackers only need to be right once. So be careful reading a lot into it.

            Yep, I’d imagine most times when there have been air strikes, incursions, raids etc. Where they’ve destroyed weapons or captured/killed some terrorist leader could have thwarted similar events.

      For a long time I’ve thought of the situation there as a slow-motion genocide. Looks like they’re using the “surprise” attack by Hamas as an excuse to go full Hitler.

        I think we’ll see Israel just bomb the entire strip into a crater, they’ve spent the last 20 odd years working on weaponry that’s specifically designed to destroy Palestine, they’ve just been waiting for something they can use as an excuse to use it all.
