The Zionist army found the bodies of six captives in a tunnel in Raffa, and immediately, the Zionist mass media claimed that Hamas murdered them. How do these so-called reporters know how these six were killed? They were told so by the Zionist army, known for its many lies. Were they killed by bombs or army bullets before the army entered the tunnel to be safe? What interests Hamas has to kill the six while the Israeli government does not want to stop the war and the killing of Palestinians and Israeli captives?
“Menachem Klein, professor of political science at Israel’s Bar-Ilan University, said many Israelis are “desperate for a deal” to end the war in the Gaza Strip and bring home the remaining captives held by Hamas.
“I assume we will see more protests this morning following the very sad news coming out of Gaza,” Klein told Al Jazeera, referring to the military’s retrieval of the bodies of six more captives.
“People are tired, almost desperate for a deal. They cry to the government to listen to them,” Klein said.
He blamed Netanyahu and his cabinet for “refusing” to strike a deal to secure the release of the captives, a move he said had “signed [the Israeli captives’] death sentence.”[i]
“Israel refuses to come down to reality,” he added. “That’s the problem. And it cost the life of Israeli hostages.”
Only a few days ago, the Zionist Minister of War Galant reportedly called Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s promises of “absolute victory” in the ongoing war “gibberish.
“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has declared to Gallant that he is prioritizing Israel’s military siege of the Philadelphi Corridor (Saladin Axis) over the lives of the hostages still held in Gaza.
This bombshell statement reported by Israeli media on Friday emerged during a heated war cabinet meeting that has ignited a firestorm of controversy and exposed the deep fractures within Israel’s political and military leadership.
The arguments unfolded as Netanyahu pushed for approval of Israeli military maps detailing a plan to retain Israeli troops in the Philadelphi Corridor — a strategic strip along the Palestine-Egypt border in the Gaza enclave. Netanyahu’s insistence on this position has been criticized by Gallant and other security officials, who argue that the prime minister’s rigid approach risks derailing ongoing negotiations aimed at securing the release of more than 100 hostages”[ii]
Meantime, the Zionist army not only commits the genocide of the Palestinians in Gaza but acts to force the Palestinians from the West Bank to flee as the monster destroys hundreds of houses in Jenin and Tul Karem.
“On Friday evening, Israeli soldiers invaded the eastern neighborhood of Jenin in the northern part of the occupied West Bank, displacing many families before occupying their homes and using the properties as military posts in preparation for a larger military offensive.
Local sources said dozens of soldiers invaded the neighborhood, stormed and ransacked homes, and started forcing the families out.
They added that Palestinian ambulances transported many families, especially those with infants and children, out of the area after the army ordered their displacement.
The Israeli military forced the Palestinians to evacuate their homes and told them that the army would be operating in the area for ten days.”[iii]
“Almost 80% of homes in the Palestinian city of Jenin have suffered damage from a recent Israeli military operation, according to the city’s deputy governor.
The Israeli army withdrew from Jenin early Wednesday, concluding its largest military operation in the city in more than 20 years.
At least 12 Palestinians were killed and more than 100 others injured in the offensive, according to the Health Ministry.
The Israeli raid, which started on Monday, has also left a trail of destruction across the West Bank city.
“Houses and infrastructure suffered heavy damage in the offensive,” Kamal Abu al-Rub told Anadolu on Wednesday. “Almost 80% of houses in the Jenin refugee camp were either destroyed, damaged, or burnt. The Israeli offensive has triggered a wave of condemnations from several countries, including Türkiye, Jordan, Egypt, Indonesia, and others”[iv].
The Zionist monster must be destroyed!
For red free Palestine from the river to the sea!
