Mr. al-Hamlawi, the senior nurse, said a female officer had ordered two soldiers to lift him up and press his rectum against a metal stick that was fixed to the ground. Mr. al-Hamlawi said the stick penetrated his rectum for roughly five seconds, causing it to bleed and leaving him with “unbearable pain.”

I don’t really know what to say anymore @Scirocco May all this cruelty end soon.

@Scirocco I am so sorry to learn your friends are missing. There is a very long article today in the New York Times about detention of civilians and how they disappear for months so we can only pray they will be found

This poor baby will die if they don't let her and her father leave Gaza. Devastating.

Is saying “Have a dynamite Sabbath” not sacrilegious? What arrogance against God, for someone who apparently believes in God.

Isn’t the Sabbath a holy day of rest? Blowing up a mosque entails being rather busy.

The IDF is foolish to allow soldiers to show them up in this way.

Another war crime being committed. Members of the IDF gleefully announcing they'll be bombing a mosque and there'll be no more Friday prayers. This is so upsetting to see.

I am so sorry Scirocco. The not knowing must be so hard. Wherever they are I hope they are at peace. I don't know how you continue to post on these boards you are one of the most reasonable, respectful and fair posters yet probably one of the only that has been so directly impacted by this conflict. Mind yourself 💐

The shocking thing is that this is most likely a huge undercount. According to Action on Armed Violence, the death toll per individual bomb is 10. If this is correct and 70,000 bombs were dropped on Gaza, the death toll is 700,000 from the bombings alone.

I am so sorry about your missing friends. I hope they will be found

Which is rather legally questionable... Again.

Although denying they are doing it, it would seem the IDF have been bombing civilian areas in Lebanon with white phosphorous.

JazakAllah khair.

Inna Lillahi wa inna ilayhi raji'un

I'm so sorry @Scirocco

I am sorry too for you, Scirroco, and everyone, who has lost all trace of loved ones and friends who have been swallowed up and disappeared in dreadful circumstances like these. It must be difficult to live each day just not knowing what has happened to them in this way. May they be returned at last, one day.

May his little farm grow and grow, and the spirit of peace with it.

@Scirocco I’m so sorry to hear that, it’s terrible and heartbreaking. I know there are no adequate words but I’m just so sorry.

@Finallyloggedin that's right, missing people aren't included in the figures. Some of the figures only include people who have been identified, too, so don't include unidentified dead people.

Two of my friends are among the missing and presumed dead and aren't counted towards the figures for deceased people because no bodies have been confirmed/identified.

“Israel has dropped more than 70,000 tons of bombs on the Gaza Strip since last October, far surpassing the of Dresden, Hamburg, and London combined during World War II.”

https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/amount-of-israeli-bombs-dropped-on-gaza-surpasses-that-of-world-war-ii/3239665

I also read a very depressing estimate about the true number of casualties. The author reasoned that Israel has dropped an average of 300 bombs per day on Gaza. If each bomb killed just one person, that would be 300 murdered per day. So 300 x 200 = 60,000. Obviously as civil society has been destroyed, there is really no way for the Palestinians to accurately count now, is there? Also am I right in thinking that missing persons (trapped under the rubble) are not included in the figures?

https://x.com/ajplus/status/1797999247230730378?s=61&t=nilGqPeurpC5xVqZAZdZog bless this poor lovely little boy. It’s heartbreaking to see his happy demeanour change as the months of violence against the Palestinians, displacement and lack of schooling has taken its toll. There is no blood or gore in this video but it has really broken my heart 💔

I saw a video showing the bodies of children killed in the past day in Khan Younis. Devastating. It's too upsetting to share. Here's another account of the recent atrocities in the area.

https://www.reuters.com/world/middle-east/palestinian-sisters-cry-out-missing-mother-after-gaza-airstrike-2024-06-03/

Heartbreaking. Absolutely heartbreaking. 💔 I look at these children and babies that have lost their lives and I can’t help but look at my kids and think what if. Doesn’t bear thinking about.

This is the baby whose head was blown off by the Israeli military during the recent massacre and fire. A beautiful little boy. He's the same age as my baby 💔
