Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.
“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”
That’s interesting considering that Hamas is one of the closest allies of the Kremlin.
You know as well as anyone that this has NOTHING to do with Hamas.
Their strategy of indiscriminate bombing would not be the answer if they wanted to kill Hamas only. There’s absolutely no regard for civilians here. They’re not destroying Hamas. They’re eradicating the population of Palestine. Anyone who lives will rightly join Hamas and after this, honestly I can see why.
The Netanyahu government is currently doing an excellent job recruiting for Hamas.
Hamas as an organization will no longer exist. The Israeli government has been exceptionally and adamantly clear about that
Yeah, like taliban?
I wish the US could’ve penned the Taliban in the way Hamas is penned in.
Man what an absolute slam dunk no-downsides thing that would have been.
Does this mean you strongly support this action, since these groups are roughly equal?
US can’t win a war and neither can Israel.
Lmao.
Violence is never solved with more Violence.
Bullshit. You are here existing because of World Wars.
That is, in fact, the only way to stop an ongoing violent act.
You’re both right.
What works is retaliating against the person or group that attacked you.
What doesn’t work, and makes things worse, is “retaliating” against innocent people who didn’t attack you.
Hamas is part of the problem. Arab countries have confirmed that Hamas is stockpiling food and water and medicine for themselves.
They don’t care about the Palestinians. If they did, those goods would be distributed.

But Israel is not just randomly bombing Gaza? Hamas uses the Gaza People as a meat shield. They have taken all of Gaza hostage.
Should Israel just let themselves get bombed by those degenerate Terrorists without attacking themselves, because Hamas has a meat shield?
Honestly, Israel could just glass the Gaza Strip in a few days. Instead, they target specific buildings and points, even “knocking” before blowing it up, so civilians (and the terrorists) can escape. It is tragic that there are civilian casualties, but it cannot be completely avoided in this specific circumstances. Hamas desperately has their launch sites near hospitals and schools and playing fields.
Where is the evidence that they are not just randomly bombing? Knocking? Do they send a telegram?

They first launch a smaller rocket to “warn” residents to evacuate the premises before the big boy rockets lights up the place and called that “roof knocking”. I’m not kidding, that was their actual policy before this.
They actually used the app Telegram, as well as flyers, localized broadcasts, and even direct phone calls.
Unfortunately Hamas is killing Palestinian civilians who head south, to scare them into remaining in the combat zone, because Hamas does not value human life at all
Yes, I’m sure telegram messages and phone calls are very effective days after they shut off electricity.
This has been going on for 3 weeks already, they did do the “knocking” and warning for at least the first couple weeks. Phones have been working, on external batteries recharged from generators, up until this weekend.
Did you not hear the message of the IDF guy calling people in Gaza, and the Gazans saying Hamas will kill him if he leaves?

Where did you hear of Hamas killing civilians who go south?

They are a professional army assaulting the most densely populated area in the world. Not letting refugees pass through their lines is already a war crime. Instead they seem to be compressing the population more and blaming Hamas for having the gall to fight at all.
You don’t get to accuse the other side of using human shields as you kettle more civilians in with them.

Behavioral/policy similarity doesn’t necessarily imply an alliance or partnership compatibility.
Maybe take a look at the agreements between Russia and Israel about Sirya. Welcome to the real world btw.
Evil cunts are hypocrites?? What? Omg
They support Hamas to keep attention off the Ukrainian invasion.
Israel invade Palestine just as Russia do Ukraine…but somehow more inhumanely
