According to a spokesperson for the international #NGO#Oxfam, "It is a disgrace that a ceasefire is still not in place and that [International Humanitarian Law] is broken by Israel time and again with full impunity."
@faab64
The problem is they don't care for international law.
They think they are the best, the chosen people, far superior to everyone, and thus untouchable.
That has to change. We must stop their fury @palestine@israel
Daily briefing by the Ministry of Health in Gaza on day 242 of the Israeli genocide:
⭕ The Israeli occupation committed 7 massacres against families in the Gaza Strip during the past 24 hours, resulting in 71 documented fatalities and 182 injuries.
⭕ The documented Palestinian death toll has risen to 36,550 martyrs and 82,959 injuries since the seventh of last October.
⭕ The figures above only refer to the cases transported to hospitals and registered in the records of the Ministry of Health.
⭕ An unknown number of victims are still unaccounted for or missing under the rubble, as ambulance and civil defense crews cannot reach them.
Do not expect him to be listed as a hostage in the list of those demanding release of the #hostages: The father of Ahed Tamimi was #kidnapped by Israeli forces
Bassem #Tamimi The father of Palestinian activist Ahed Tamimi was kidnapped by Israeli #occupation forces from the village of #NabiSaleh in October 2023. His family has not heard from him since then.
This is what West is supporting: "In Gaza, if you ask me, instead of taking them to the south, we should have told them to go to the beaches. Then the navy would know how to load them (onto boats). Put them in the refugee camps with their brothers in #Lebanon... Leave Gaza with nothing in it."
Head of the #Metula municipality, a northern Israeli settlement near Lebanon, David Azulay, suggests in a podcast to completely ethnically cleanse Palestinians in Gaza and make it a place "like #Auschwitz."
@faab64@palestine@israel yeah, people can just stop coming at me when I use the word genocide, when Israelis are calling for #Auschwitz conditions in their occupied territories. Tell me again, how they are not the 21st century’s Nazis? Especially given the images of the skeletal starved dead children that have come out of Gaza today. Fuck him.
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.
Pursuant to common Article 3(1) of the 1949 Geneva Conventions,
[p]ersons taking no active part in the hostilities, including members of armed forces who have laid down their arms and those placed hors de combat by sickness, wounds, detention, or any other cause, shall in all circumstances be treated humanely, without any adverse distinction founded on race, colour, religion or faith, sex, birth or wealth, or any other similar criteria.
To this end, the following acts are and shall remain prohibited at any time and in any place whatsoever with respect to the above-mentioned persons:
(a) violence to life and person, in particular murder of all kinds, mutilation, cruel treatment and torture.
Article 41(1) of the 1977 Additional Protocol I provides: “A person who is recognized or who, in the circumstances, should be recognized to be hors de combat shall not be made the object of attack.”
Under Article 85(3)(e) of the 1977 Additional Protocol I, “making a person the object of attack in the knowledge that he is hors de combat” is a grave breach of the Protocol.
Article 7(1) of the draft Additional Protocol II submitted by the ICRC to the CDDH provided: “It is forbidden to kill, injure, ill-treat or torture an adversary hors de combat.”
@bananamangodog@faab64 There was even a (brief) debate when Ukraine hit Russian barracks at night whether that might already be a violation. In other words, one school of thought would say that even healthy, armed active duty soldiers at rest away from the front are hors de combat.
US-made CBU-39 munitions used in deadly strike on Rafah tent camp, CNN analysis shows noting that its use in a densely populated area is highly risky.
Munitions made in the United States were used in the deadly Israeli strike on a displacement camp in Rafah on Sunday, a CNN analysis of video from the scene and a review by explosive weapons experts has found.
The GBU-39/B Small Diameter Bomb (SDB) is a 250-pound (110 kg) precision-guided glide bomb that is intended to provide aircraft with the ability to carry a higher number of more accurate bombs. Most US Air Force aircraft will be able to carry (using the BRU-61/A rack) a pack of four SDBs in place of a single 2,000-pound (910 kg) bomb. It first entered service in 2006. The Ground Launched Small Diameter Bomb (GLSDB) was later developed to enable the SDB to be launched from a variety of ground launchers and configurations.
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. #Rafah algemeiner.com/2024/05/28/idf-…
@faab64@palestine@israel This reminds me of #Israel claim that AlShifa Hospital was a #Hamas headquarters to try to justify the murder of hundreds of civilians there by the #IDF. I note that Israel stopped trying on that ludicrous excuse for #genocide after it had destroyed almost all the hospitals and clinics in #Gaza. They were targeted deliberately. Just another in the litany of #warcrimes.
Israeli tanks have entered the western #Rafah where over 400k innocent displaced Palestinians still living in tents, there is a risk of mass casualties.
This is too depressing. The freaking hypocrites of the west are just standing by and watching it happen.
The Israeli army justifies the bombing and burning of the displaced in an UNRWA displacement camp in #Rafah, claiming that it is “a #Hamas compound”.
The #UNRWA displaced camp, which was designated as a safe area to which thousands of civilians were pushed, was targeted with 8 bombs, killing at least 35, most of whom are women and children.
(From Resistance Sources) The IOF launched heavy airstrikes targeting multiple areas across the Gaza Strip:
Northern Gaza:
The humanitarian situation is catastrophic in northern Gaza Strip, especially in terms of famine, reports Al-Mayadeen.
10 martyrs and 17 wounded have been reported in the IOF bombing of Al-Nazla School in the Al-Saftawi area, in northern Gaza.
10 martyrs and several injured have been reported in the targeting of a house near shelters in Beit Hanoun, northern Gaza Strip.
3 martyrs (a woman and her two children) ascended due to the bombing of the Shreiteh family home by IOF warplanes in Al-Sabra neighborhood, southern Gaza City, in northern Gaza.
IOF artillery shelling is targeting the Beit Lahia project and Al-Qasasib neighborhood in Jabalia camp, in the northern Gaza Strip.
Southern Gaza:
For the first time, occupation forces executed belts of fire in central Rafah city according to Al-Mayadeen. The belts of fire have reached the vicinity of the Kuwaiti hospital, which is the only operational hospital in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip.
The Kuwait Specialized Hospital in Rafah appeals to the World Health Organization to urgently provide fuel to ensure it remains operational.
#Occupation forces are completely destroying residential buildings in some neighborhoods of #Rafah, particularly in Al-Shawka and Al-Jneina.
Central Gaza:
Heavy artillery shelling targeted multiple areas including Wadi Gaza, Al-Bureij, and Salah Al-Din. Fire from occupation vehicles has been reported. (media 1)
