Israel is at war with Gaza. However , this has dragged other countries in the area as well.
weve heard about the problems in West Bank (there is a thread) but also Lebanon where civilians have been killed and journalists have been targeted and killed

they’ve also attacked several airports in Siria.

ive read in the past there was a conflict as well with Yemen and read now this” Yemen's Houthis warn they will target all ships headed to Israel”

it doesn’t sound that post this war living in Israel is going to be safer than before

Yemen's Houthis warn they will target all ships headed to Israel

Yemen's Houthi movement said on Saturday they would target all ships heading to Israel, regardless of their nationality, and warned all international shipping companies against dealing with Israeli ports.

@EllaDisenchanted thank you for continuing to post so we know the situation in Israel.

Much clearer now: two armoured school buses were shot at, no injuries. Two cars shot at, and that is where the two adults and the boy were injured. Terrorist remains at large.

Msm Now reporting it was a school bus

https://www.i24news.tv/en/news/middle-east/palestinian-territories/artc-initial-report-suggests-2-wounded-in-shooting-at-school-bus-in-west-bank

mada (Magen David Adom) reports that one in moderate to serious condition (30 year old male), and a 21 year old and 13 year old in mild condition.

terrorist not yet apprehended. Have seen reports that the bus was bulletproof, possibly explains why only 3 injured

3 wounded, 1 in serious condition in shooting at school bus, vehicles in West Bank - I24NEWS

The terrorist attack occurred on Route 90 adjacent to the town of Al-Auja, manhunt is ongoing - Click the link for more.

initial reports of a terror attack shooting at a bus and two passing vehicles this morning, 3 injured, two seriously, among them a 13 year old. Terrorist ran off, manhunt underway.

I'm getting reports that it was a school bus but not confirmed yet. Either way school starts at 8 am here in Israel, and would have been full of school children.

ill update when I have seen MSM Reports

Large barrage of rockets up North, Lebanese TV reporting 50 rockets were fired at Israel. https://www.jpost.com/breaking-news/article-793752

Seems to be again escalating, as there were barrages on Shabbat as well. https://www.israelnationalnews.com/news/387247

There were sirens down south, from North Gaza the other day.

Rockets pound north after IDF hits northeastern Lebanon in deepest strikes yet

No casualties were reported and the event did not obstruct operational activities, the IDF noted.

Yesterdays victim was Indian, not Thai: Pat Nibin Maxwell, 31 (image below), he leaves behind a 5 year old daughter and heavily pregnant wife 💔

Today: Stabbing attack today, committed by a 16 year old, at the yitzhar junction. Victim in serious condition.

Hezbollah fired a large barrage yesterday, causing power outages up north.

4 terrorists arrested in the West Bank, who were preparing an ISIS style attack, and had manufactured 100 bombs https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/shin-bet-arrests-islamic-state-inspired-west-bank-cell-that-manufactured-100-explosive-devices/

The terrorist attacks continue showing that they don't want peace orca ceasefire. A neutral government needs to run Gaza. Hamas are no good for Gaza.

Thanks for clarifying @stomachamelon . I’m glad that your link to a Times of Israel article was for information purposes. Forgive me if I interpreted it as implying you wanted us to think “serve them right ”.

stormy4319trevor · 15/03/2024 19:00

@DustyDustyDusty I have no idea, I think not. He seems extreme, but are there any politicians expressing concern at this kind of policing? Or any protests? I truly do not understand how this is acceptable.

stomachamelon · 15/03/2024 17:57

@Kindatired there is no 'implication'. I reposted an article.

You have no need to put words in my mouth regarding innocent civilians or hostages.

I don't understand whether this is considered normal in Israel? I can't imagine it being acceptable in the UK, it would cause huge public concern if 12 year olds were shot dead for setting off fireworks. But instead there is Ben Gvir calling the soldier who shot the child 'heroic.' I am really at a loss for words as to how such actions can become normalised and cause, apparently, no questions.

You think Ben Gvir represents most Israelis?

@stomachamaleon Netanyahu undermined the alternatives for decades and supported Hamas to prevent the two state solution . The only alternative is to support corrupt PA that kowtows to Israel, the country that has massacred 1% of Gaza and continues to kill an average of 250 people a day, mostly innocent civilians.

The implication of your post is that is that collective punishment is acceptable which it isn’t- it’s a war crime.

By extension, if you think that it is morally justifiable for innocent civilians to be used as pawns, you are also justifying the holding of innocent hostages from 7/10.

Stabbing attack in a cafe in south Israel, one man in his 50s has passed away, 2 other victims lightly wounded.

I'm getting reports of a shooting in a supermarket in Afula.

The shooting wasn’t a terrorism incident. Stabbing attack was.
