CW: Occupied Palestine
An Israeli strike targeting a Hamas commander in the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza has left catastrophic damage and killed a large number of people, according to eyewitnesses and medics in the enclave.
Israel is a terrorist state, and they’re so blood thirsty for Hamas commanders that they’re bombing fucking refuge camps.
And they wonder what drives support for Hamas? Jk, no they don’t. Israel knowsthey support Hamas because of Israel’s actions, and Israel leans into it to give them excuses to marginalize and remove Palestinians from their land one way or another.
I don’t support Hamas, but supporting Israel is unconcionable, and has been for years. But with so many things these days, the authorizations are going full mask off…
Small quibble, it’s not occupied Palestine. If it was occupied then there’d be no excuse for bombing the civilians. Besieged Palestine, oppressed Palestine, Gaza prison, all of those are fine.
During different conflicts the US military had a collateral policy, depending on how important the target was. Ideally you try to kill the target by themselves, but if there are non-combatants nearby, if it’s a high value target you could get n + 1, if it’s a very high value target maybe n + 2. This bombing is in the n plus hundreds range.
The cruelty is the point, it’s not accidental, it’s not collateral… https://jewishcurrents.org/a-textbook-case-of-genocide

An Israeli strike targeting a Hamas commander in the densely populated Jabalya refugee camp in northern Gaza has left catastrophic damage and killed a large number of people, according to eyewitnesses and medics in the enclave.
“I was waiting in line to buy bread when suddenly and without any prior warning seven to eight missiles fell,” an eyewitness, Mohammad Ibrahim, told CNN.
Hazem Qassem, a spokesman for the militant group, accused Israel of attempting to justify what he described as a “heinous crime against safe civilians, children, and women in Jabalya camp.”
Eyewitness Mohammad Al Aswad described a “horrific scene” in the aftermath of the strike, telling CNN that he ran to the refugee camp to check on family after hearing the missiles land.
Israel’s bombardment of Gaza has killed at least 8,485 people and injured more than 21,000, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah, which draws on information from the Hamas-controlled enclave.
When pressed multiple times throughout a White House briefing on the Jabalya strike and on whether Israel is doing enough to protect Palestinian civilians, National Security Council spokesman John Kirby said the US has “indications they are trying.”
