Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu told a group of Israeli soldiers on Tuesday that the strikes Israel launched on Gaza on Monday were the hardest yet.
“We are striking our enemies with tremendous force,” Netanyahu said, according to his office. “Yesterday, during our attacks in Gaza, we dealt the enemy the hardest blow he has suffered in a single day.”
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said 704 Palestinians were killed during Israeli strikes from Monday into Tuesday, the highest death toll in a 24-hour period since the onslaught began.
Netanyahu claimed the strikes killed “many dozens of terrorists, possibly many more than that, and at this very moment, we are finding out the exact extent of the damage.”
The Palestinian Health Ministry said that since October 7, at least 5,791 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including 2,360 children.
Netanyahu also signaled that Israel will soon invade Gaza, although it’s unclear when the operation will begin. “We are facing the next stage [of the operation], it is on its way. You know it, you are part of it, you are part of the spearhead,” Netanyahu told the soldiers.
“I have enormous appreciation for what you know how to do, your fighting spirit, and your willingness to save our country from these animals, and I am sure we will succeed in this. We have only one task – to crush Hamas, crush it. We won’t stop until we get it done,” the Israeli leader added.
“The Palestinian Health Ministry said that since October 7, at least
5,791 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza, including 2,360 children.”
How many Palestinians and how many allies have sworn and will swear vengeance for this slaughter? And will never forget?
How many tens of millions, around the world, who had not yet reached the conclusion that Israel is waging a huge, decades-long pogrom, are sure of it now? And will never forget?
This Gaza “war” is going to be the Waco and Ruby Ridge of the Middle East 1000x. Israel is recklessly sowing the wind and I am worried that we are going to be the ones to reap the whirlwind.
When this all over with, I suspect the Palestinian casualties will hit 100,000 dead or wounded, with 250,000 to 500,000 homeless. Tell me again why did Hamas conducted their Oct 7 attack?
Because life in Gaza was a living death and had nothing to lose.
Not good logic. They have more to lose.
Not nearly as much as the Zios do.
For the Palestinians – they have a World to win.
Probably because they don’t care. They want to draw Israel into a ground invasion. That’s the only reason I can think of for wasting time, ammo, and manpower shooting up a music festival and raiding Kibbutz. They should have focused on over running IDF installations around the border, capturing soldiers who surrendered and liquidating any who didn’t, capturing military hardware from said installations and then obtaining the best defensive positions they could.
I agree. If they would have only hit military targets, than I would have applauded the attack as a daring raid. But they didn’t.
Oh counterair, the civilians are key to Israel’s occupation plan and armed to the teeth… Fair game!
… and you got the response for it on Tuesday beebee…!
NO INNOCENT CIVILIANS IN GAZA. I’m such a nice guy, “Look What You Made Me Do.“–Taylor Swift. (SARCASM)
Hamas could issue a call for a ceasefire by guaranteeing the release of all hostages and the arrest for prosecution of all those involved in the Oct 7 slaughter but, probably not.
So,
NO justice for the slaughterers, means NO ceasefire.
All in Hamas’s hands.
I suspect that Hamas has already offered to guarantee the release of all the hostages … in return for Israel’s Palestinian hostages.
As for arrest and prosecution, I agree that Hamas’s leadership and Israel’s should all be hauled off to the Hague for trial.
To be convincing, I think Hamas would have to make a legitimate appeal for global support to end hostilities by pursuing an immediate release of innocent hostages coupled with
a repudiation of violence by bringing the perps of Oct 7 to justice.
With a ceasefire in place,
they could then enlist their worldwide supporters to bring pressure, money and attorneys to highlight any and all unjust incarcerations committed by Israel to the forefront of their movement.
But we both know that ain’t gonna happen.
When a movement is based on a radical, genocidal ideology, common sense and reason die first.
So to be convincing, would the Israeli regime have to make a legitimate appeal for global support to end hostilities by pursuing an immediate release of innocent hostages couple with a repudiation of violence by placing e.g. Netanyahu and Co. under house arrest so that they’re available for questioning by the International Criminal Court?
Or does that whole thing only go in one direction?
Hamas initiated this latest horror, to stop it, they need to initiate cessation,
hostages freed and perps arrested.
Israel would immediately end all military activity and pull back out of Gaza.
Negotiations opened, Hamas removed as a player and requiring Israel open a review tribunal for so-called Gazans wrongly incarcerated by Israel.
Further, negotiate an arrangement for a mixed population (Palestinians and Jewish) in northern Gaza with tax and grant incentives to rebuild northern Gaza into a world class Riveira.
You know as long as we are pipe-dreaming here.
Promoting genocide should be outlawed on both side with incarceration the penalty.
“Hamas initiated this latest horror”
That’s like saying Luxembourg started World War 2, on May 10, 1940.
I would say this latest slaughter is the genesis of this latest bombardment. To fix one without the other is doomed.
The founding of the Zio colony is the genesis of this abortion.
I’ll take that as; you have no reasonable suggesting for ending the current abortion.
reasonable suggesting for ending the current abortion.
Euthanize Zionism… Happy?
Thanks, proves my point, so many of you proclaim you’re antiwar when in fact you are the exact opposite,
so yes, when the truth is out, I’m very “happy”.
I said Zionism.. Not Zionists.
I don’t approve of murder. That’s the difference between you and me.
Pedantic,
“euthanizing” Zionism would require
euthanizing the Zionist. Own it, banned.
That’s entirely up to the Zionists… Kling to their racist ideology – then join it on the pyre.
Exposed, I’m happy.
Implode your Israel.
Not my Israel, I am antiwar,
but your encouragement for Israel to “implode” is just more solid proof that you are a hypocrite warmonger, thanks again.
Actually you’re pro-genocide and Israel is collapsing on it’s own inner contradictions without my encouragement. All thanks for that go to the Almighty God who doesn’t suffer blasphemers gladly.
Amen!
Squirm a little more hypocrite, you’ve been outed.
If there were a truly objective investigation to the events of Oct. 7th followed by a truly fair trial, the Palestinians would welcome such a legal intervention.
Beaming with pride at his brave, godsped IDF bomber pilots.
On Tuesday, the Palestinian Health Ministry said 704 Palestinians were killed during Israeli strikes from Monday into Tuesday, the highest death toll in a 24-hour period since the onslaught began.
Netanyahu claimed the strikes killed “many dozens of terrorists, possibly many more than that, and at this very moment, we are finding out the exact extent of the damage.”
Lets see. 704 – many dozens = a lot of dead innocents.
Tel Aviv is an overflowing sewer full of war criminals.
re: “Monday Strikes on Gaza”
These were not “strikes” they were deadly bombing raids. “Strikes” is from US war marketing. . . .”There were some airstrikes” etc.
UN Secretary General António Guterres got it right when he said “relentless bombardment of Gaza by Israeli forces”. . .”continuing to bomb the south itself “
