For some in Iran, the West's relentless punishment has weakened the revolutionary fires of 1979. But for countless others, they are being rekindled by the Palestinian resistance in Gaza.

A new massacre committed by the occupation army against the Al-Hajen family in Jabalia Al-Balad. Dozens of martyrs were recovered, pieces of their heads cut off.
Heavy bombing is occurring across all of North Gaza. We have just recovered the bodies of 10 people in Jabalia. The bombing was so intense that children were found in pieces. We are being annihilated, starved, and bombed by Israeli occupation forces, and the whole world is watching.

In every targeted place I go, these scenes are repeated in front of me, but this night is completely different due to the intensity of the bombing. We found these body parts flying dozens of meters from the location of the targeted house. They collected his hand, then parts of his head, then the other part of his lower body, and only the rest of his body.
"A pig's head wrapped in the flag of #Palestine with a text "#Ukraine stands with #Israel" was found in #Berlin's oldest mosque.
Police are reportedly investigating.
As of February 2024, there are about 1.1 million Ukrainian #refugees in #Germany. #Zelensky has previously claimed that Israel had an unquestionable right to defend itself from attacks from Palestine."
"Even if the conflict ends immediately, there will continue to be many indirect deaths in the coming months and years ... such indirect deaths range from three to 15 times the number of direct (military action related) deaths ... it is not implausible to estimate that up to 186 000 ... 7·9% of the total population in the Gaza Strip..."
Israel has been forced into a war of attrition as the Palestinian resistance has reconstituted itself across Gaza. The scale of the horrors perpetrated by the Israeli army in these battles only emerges through testimonies after the fighting ends.
#Israel / Wondered how kidnapped Israeli children's lives looked in Hamas captivity?
Israel is facing a significant challenge in garnering international sympathy. The devastating images emerging from Gaza overshadow the plight of Israeli victims of the October 7 attack. This project though was primarily designed to exert pressure on the Israeli government to agree to a hostage deal, rather than to sway global public opinion away from the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
It's regrettable though that yet another mediocre marketing firm with questionable judgment is involved in this “soon to be launched internationally” project”. The decision to create and distribute #ai generated images raises ethical concerns, but also given that Israel has already faced accusations of fabricating evidence of war crimes by the #Hamas, this approach inadvertently provides critics with additional grounds for skepticism.
It's also deeply troubling that an Israeli company would resort to tactics reminiscent of Der Stürmer, especially given that every Israeli student learns about the notorious antisemitic publication's harmful propaganda.
186,000 unarmed civilians now estimated by "The Lancet" to have been EXTERMINATED by the zionist’s demonic live-streamed GENOCIDE of Palestinians - MOSTLY BABIES and CHILDREN! In 9 Months!
ISRAEL MUST BE STOPPED. They do not even care for their own people (look up the report- finally - in one of their major newspapers Haeretz quoting Israel’s “Hannibal Directive” confirming Israel killed their own citizens on 7 October).
Then, if you have not yet heard about it, look up Israel’s “Samson Option”. It is terrifying to think they have nuclear weapons because THEY DO NOT CARE. If they do not get what they want they would rather scorch the earth. Not my words. Their “Samson Option”.
That, friends, is why we should ALL be urgently pressing for our governments to STOP THE GENOCIDE NOW, STOP ISRAEL NOW. Nip it in the bud!
Protest, boycott, fund raise, share on Social Media - whatever. Every little helps.
#Israel / Haaretz shows Hannibal directive employed at three sites to prevent kidnapping of soldiers during 7 October assault
Some of the findings in the Haaretz report:
On October 7, 2023, the Israeli military implemented the "Hannibal Directive" in response to Hamas attacks and kidnappings in southern Israel.
The directive, aimed at preventing hostage-taking, allows for extreme measures that could potentially harm or kill Israeli soldiers or civilians to prevent their capture.
Multiple orders were given throughout the day to prevent vehicles from returning to Gaza, potentially endangering hostages.
The military launched attacks on several locations, including the Erez Crossing and military bases, where soldiers and civilians were present.
By 10:32 AM, all battalions in the area were ordered to fire mortars towards Gaza, despite uncertainty about the locations of Israeli forces and civilians.
The border area was declared a "destruction zone" in the afternoon, with forces instructed not to leave settlements towards the west.
Artillery fire was used near settlements in the evening due to intelligence about militants possibly fleeing back to Gaza.
The article raises questions about the implementation of the Hannibal Directive in specific cases, such as an incident in Kibbutz Be'eri where hostages were killed during a rescue attempt.
As late as 21:33, orders were given to close the entire contact line with Gaza using tanks, with no restrictions on opening fire on anyone approaching the area.
The implementation of this protocol did not prevent the kidnapping of seven female soldiers from Nahal Oz, nor did it prevent the killing of 15 other female soldiers and 38 additional soldiers at these locations.
Protesters arrested for seizing Hind’s Hall at Columbia University are refusing any deals unless protesters at CUNY are offered the same, and they stand in solidarity with those facing the most extreme repression in the movement.
New York City Public Schools has been suppressing Palestinian narratives and activism. NYC Educators for Palestine has attempted to meet with Chancellor David Banks for months, but he keeps dodging our meeting.
#Hezbollah successful attacked, damaged one of israelis most advanced radar sustem of the air defense installation at #Nimra#military base on northern #Israel
This is the biggest strategic blow to Israeli air defense and the military as none of the drones/missiles that hit the multi million dollar surveillance system were detected or intercepted by Iron dome or Arrow air defense systems.
This is the 3rd strategic site that Hezbollah have managed to damage in the past few months.
The extent of the damage is unknown but the iron dome in northern Israel seems to be completely out of service.
Israeli media accidentally shared an image of the Meron military airbase after previous attack, before they removed the image from their site (of was downloaded and shared by many people online)..
