#Gaza #EidAlFitr #Bombing [1]

Whoever told you it's a war on Jews, that's it religious.
IT IS
but it's the other way round. It's a war on Islam caried out by #IDF and #Netanyahu.

Quote by MEE:
"Mar 30, 2025
Videos posted on Social media show Israeli drones reportedly opening fire on Palestinian houses in the early hours of Eid al-Fitr in Gaza.
As Palestinians prepared to celebrate Eid al-Fitr, marking the end of the holy month of Ramadan, Israeli air strikes on Gaza killed at least nine people - including five children.
The dawn attacks struck as families were either asleep or getting ready for Eid celebrations, witnesses told Middle East Eye."

Die Leichen von 15 Rettungskräften des Roten Halbmonds, des palästinensischen Zivilschutzes und der Vereinten Nationen sind laut Angaben von UN-Vertretern im Süden des Gazastreifens geborgen worden.

Der UN-Untergeneralsekretär für humanitäre Angelegenheiten, Tom Fletcher: "Sie wurden von israelischen Streitkräften getötet, als sie versuchten, Leben zu retten. Wir fordern Antworten und Gerechtigkeit."

"On Tuesday afternoon last week, the Israel Defense Forces Spokesperson's Unit released two videos. In the first, a warplane is seen lifting off in the dark, its jet engines leaving being a hypnotic trail of light; that's followed by a scene of an Apache helicopter pilot checking the munitions on the craft before getting into the cockpit. The second video shows buildings being destroyed in bombing runs, as columns of smoke waft into the sky.

There are no people in the images of the buildings released by the IDF, but on the ground, it looked different. Earlier that day, the bodies and the wounded began arriving at hospitals – by ambulance, in private cars, on donkey carts and carried in the arms of others. The director of Shifa Hospital, Dr. Mohammed Abu Salmiya, told Al Jazeera: "This morning there were 50 bodies in the ER and another 30 bodies in the morgue refrigerator. The operating rooms were full, and many of the wounded died before our eyes because we couldn't treat them."

Dr. Sakib Rokadiya, a surgeon from the U.K. who was volunteering at the Nasser Hospital, in Khan Yunis, told Associated Press reporters: "What stunned doctors was the number of children… Just child after child, young patient after young patient.""

"I served in Gaza for nine months, and first came across these procedures, called "mosquito protocol" in December 2023. It was only two months into the ground offensive, long before there was a shortage of dogs from the IDF's canine unit, Oketz, who were used for this purpose. This became the insane, unofficial excuse for this insane, unofficial procedure. I didn't realize then how ubiquitous using human shields, whom we referred to as a "shawish," would become.

Today, almost every platoon keeps a "shawish," and no infantry force enters a house before a "shawish" clears it. This means there are four "shawishes" in a company, twelve in a battalion, and at least 36 in a brigade. We operate a sub-army of slaves.

The procedure is simple. Innocent Palestinians are forced to enter houses in Gaza and "clear" them, to make sure there are no terrorists or explosives.

I recently saw that the IDF's Military Police Criminal Investigation Division opened six investigations into the use of Palestinian civilians as human shields, and my jaw dropped. I've seen cover-ups before, but this is a new low. If the MPCID wanted to do its job seriously, it would have to open far more than even a thousand investigations. But all the MPCID wants is for us to be able to tell ourselves and the world that we're investigating ourselves, so they've found six scapegoats and are pinning it all on them."

Continued thread

Lo abbiamo fatto per mesi, seguendo la procedura di ingresso corretta che prevedeva l'invio di un robot, di un drone o di un cane.
Questa procedura si è dimostrata valida, ma richiedeva tempo e il comando voleva risultati immediati.

Abbiamo costretto i palestinesi a fare da scudi umani non perché fosse più sicuro per le truppe #IDF, ma perché era più veloce.
Ecco perché rischiamo la vita di palestinesi che non sono sospettati di nulla se non di trovarsi nel posto sbagliato al momento sbagliato.

Non è avvenuto senza ostacoli. Soldati e ufficiali hanno opposto resistenza.
Io ho opposto resistenza.
Ma è quello che succede quando il comando superiore se ne frega e i politici ancora meno.

Questo è ciò che accade quando si è veloci nel premere il grilletto e si è oberati al massimo dal punto di vista operativo. ⬇️6

"Outraged" sure is a word.

The #IDF executed and buried 11 medics in unmarked graves and torched the ambulances.

"Disgusted", "Repulsed" and 'Infuriated" are also words that exist.

When it comes to the #genocide of #Palestinians, nothing is obviously evil enough for the #Isreali government. A standards in atrocities must be further developed, like it's an economic metric.
