The Israeli army are using aid centres as target practice.

The Israeli government is proposing building a 'refugee' centre in Rafah with an extra special feature - no one is allowed to leave.

Alongside intensified strikes in Gaza.

Other sources state that car was a civilian vehicle and that help was blocked.

The video of Israelis shooting people whilst they are lying on the ground is too upsetting

Brutal.

It’s such a relentless assault on Palestinians. I’ve just watched a clip from a video of hundreds of terrorist settlers storming the village of Sara and burning down homes.

Is it ever going to be stopped?

Martymcfly24 · 24/07/2026 21:13

Despite video of the incident showing an altercation that escalated and the Israeli military acknowledging that the killing of the Israelis was not planned in advance, the IDF is treating the event as a terror attack and announced a “large-scale” operation in the area to go after “dozens of Palestinians” involved in the incident.

CNN

So it wasn't their fault , it happened in an area Israeli settlers are not meant to go , the settlers attacked first and 4 Palestinians (from the same family) were murdered but the IDF is getting revenge on the Palestinians

Make it make fuckin sense.

ReturnOfTheToad · 24/07/2026 21:33

Here is another write up on the incident. https://www.timesofisrael.com/2-israelis-4-palestinians-killed-in-gunfight-sparked-by-settler-raid-of-palestinian-town/

It's a really clear case of Palestinians don't have a right to defend themselves. The settlers who had raided a northern West Bank village had their weapon snatched and used against them. They were the armed ones, in Palestinian land where they had no right to be, they were the ones who were raiding villages. They were the ones with the weapons. What are Palestinians supposed to do? Say oop sorry, let me get out of your way and burn our village to the ground? Yet the Jerusalem Post brands the Palestinians as terrorists who killed 'civillian Israeli hikers' ?

Two killed, three wounded, after Palestinian steals gun, shoots hikers | The Jerusalem Post

A group of Israeli civilians had illegally crossed into Palestinian Authority-controlled territory while hiking in the area, leading to clashes with local Palestinians.

Netanyahu's office issued a joint statement with Defence Minister Israel Katz saying the home of the Palestinian shooter in Tal would be demolished and that the legalisation of unauthorised settler outposts and the establishment of new ones would be speeded up.

BBC

Two evil terrorists.
Netanyahu and Katz .

Ellen2shoes · 24/07/2026 22:37

There’s been a wave of settler terrorist attacks and pogroms across the area backed by IDF. Andrey X , the reporter based in the West Bank who documents settler terrorism, has stated that ‘Israel is setting up conditions for turning the ethnic cleansing of the WB into a genocide.’

’They fully intend to turn the WB into Gaza and only international intervention can help.’

What are we waiting for???!

Ellen2shoes · 30/07/2026 10:47

There was never a ‘ceasefire’ and attacks hsvd intensified by IDF in Gaza and by state backed terrorists in WB.

They must feel empowered by their impunity.

When major news organizations call the terrorists who enter into Palestinian areas (and subsequently murder them) "hikers" you know that they have been given permission to behave however the fuck they want.
Or when you see a wanted war criminal who has ordered the deaths of thousands of children sitting with the American president and cabinet you know you are fighting against the tide.

History will not be kind to these "scumbags" I do think the blinkers are off for many, the tide is turning.

A ceasefire in Gaza was agreed by Hamas and the Israeli Defence Forces on 10th October 2025. Up to 28th July 2026, the IDF has violated the ceasefire 3795 times. Three weeks after the ceasefire was declared, Israeli forces avenged the death of one soldier by an attack on a residential building that killed 109 Palestinians in one night, including 52 children.
During the ceasefire, a total of 1207 Gazan civilians have been killed by the IDF, and 3914 injured. Four IDF soldiers have lost their lives.

IDF desecrating Christian churches and symbols of faith

in April and May 2026 in which Israeli soldiers were photographed desecrating Christian statues in Debel, a primarily Maronite Christian village in southern Lebanon.
In April 2026, a soldier was photographed striking a fallen crucifix of Jesus with a blunt tool in a private garden;

In May 2026, a photograph circulated showing a soldier placing a cigarette in the mouth of a statue of the Virgin Mary in the same village.

JadeHare · 01/08/2026 20:36

As usual I’m afraid to say. From CNN:

Israel says it targeted Hamas weapon storage facilities in overnight strikes across Gaza, including one* that left a huge crater* at a hospital in central Gaza.
Video from the scene showed medical supplies strewn across a wide area, as well as damage to multiple canvas tents and metal structures.
In a statement, the Israeli military alleged Kalashnikov rifles, explosive devices and other military equipment were stored at the locations, and said a storage facility adjacent to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital — the site of the large crater — was used “as a hideout by Hamas terrorists.”
CNN is unable to verify that the structure was being used by Hamas. When asked to back up the claim, an Israeli military source told CNN, “We unfortunately have no evidence to provide, the strike happened based on intelligence information.”

Medical debris was seen nearby following the strike.

A nurse who works at the hospital told CNN he was shocked to find the warehouse completely destroyed, as it had contained crucial dialysis supplies provided by UNICEF just three days previously.
“This returns us to square one in terms of securing supplies and cutting dialysis hours and sessions for patients, which will risk their lives,” Khalil Al Fheisi said.
A humanitarian source said two containers storing dialysis supplies were destroyed, affecting more than 1,000 patients.
Hospitals in Gaza are already facing massive shortages in vital medical supplies as humanitarian organizations struggle to deliver resources into the enclave.

@JadeHare very convenient timing to find a Hamas weapons storage wasn't it 2 days after they said they would disarm .

Funny how's it's only medical equipment can be seen strewn around (because it was medical storage) and they have no evidence.

Surely instead of an airstrike a ground offensive where they captured the arsenal and then displayed them would have been much more effective. But then it would have to have been real.

Not a ceasefire.

A lie.

Yesterday, 1st August, a massive Israeli strike destroyed two out of four medical warehouses adjacent to the Al-Aqsa Hospital in Deir-el-Balah. Two of the facilities were completely destroyed and the other two badly damaged. The hospital spokesman, Khalil-al-Daqram, said that intravenous facilities, and supplies used in dialysis and intensive care had been destroyed. There was a large crater in the hospital grounds and tents housing displaced people had caught fire from the bombing.
In the past 48 hours, Israeli attacks have killed 7 and injured 76 Palestinians.

Meegie · 02/08/2026 02:35

Sorry, I have just noticed that the destruction of warehouses at the Al-Aqsa Hospital has already been posted by JadeHare, and covered more comprehensively than my effort. Thank you, Jade. A sad story.

Why can’t the media stop calling it a ceasefire or even the ‘supposed ceasefire’?

There needs to be a clear statement made that there has been no ceasefire.

The only politician with the balls to say it is Corbyn.

Exactly.
It's like saying Israel withdrew from Gaza in 2005. Blatant lies the media repeats (and are repeated on here)

If Hamas were killing Israelis everyday you know it wouldn't be called a ceasefire. It's just another thing in the long line of things that shows how Palestinian lives are seen as less valuable than Israeli lives.
