Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.
“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.
Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.
But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.
It’s a de-facto open air prison, who they have cut off fuel supply to, and now designated about half of it an “evacuation zone”. They destroy on average 12 buildings per hour. They’ve killed 4.4k children since October 7th. What… Exactly do you think is going on there? The defense minister of Israel also said they want to install a new “security regime”.
It doesn’t take a lot of datapoints over the last 75 years to see where this is going.
You can make guesses based on those numbers that come directly from Hamas… but speaking of datapoints, I don’t think this is what genocide looks like: https://www.worldometers.info/world-population/state-of-palestine-population/
Perhaps I’m wrong. Those graphs obviously don’t include recent developments. We’ll see some part of the truth properly in a few months, probably.
