Bomb the area, gas the tunnels: Israel’s war on Gaza’s underground (Yuval Abraham | +972 Magazine, 2025-02-06)

“Unable to pinpoint Hamas commanders in Gaza’s tunnels, the Israeli army decimated entire residential blocks with bunker-buster bombs to crush the passages below and flood them with lethal fumes, an investigation reveals.”

“The investigation, based on conversations with 15 Israeli Military Intelligence and Shin Bet officers …, exposes how this strategy aimed to compensate for the army’s inability to pinpoint targets in Hamas’ subterranean tunnel network. When targeting senior commanders in the group, the Israeli military authorized the killing of ‘triple-digit numbers’ of Palestinian civilians as ‘collateral damage,’ …”

“Some of these strikes, which were the deadliest in the war and often used American bombs, are known to have killed Israeli hostages despite concerns raised ahead of time by military officers…”

As Israel Expands West Bank Operation, Two Soldiers Are Killed (New York Times, 2025-02-04)

⚠️ NYT-ish biased ⚠️

“Two Israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting attack in the northern part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Tuesday as Israel pressed ahead with a military operation that has forced many people to flee their homes and caused widespread destruction.

“The attack came two days after Israel announced an eastward expansion in its campaign, which it has said is targeting militants, and which Palestinians have said is one of the most severe in the West Bank in years.”

“It came after the Western-backed Palestinian Authority spent more than a month carrying out its own operation against militants in the Jenin area.”

“But Israel’s operation — one of dozens in recent years — has been more damaging.”

Statement | Jewish Voice for Peace Opposes Trump’s Plan to Silence and Deport Anti-War Students - #JVP (2025-01-29)

https://www.jewishvoiceforpeace.org/2025/01/29/jewish-voice-for-peace-opposes-trumps-plan-to-silence-and-deport-anti-war-students/
——

“Donald Trump is reportedly planning to continue his violent crusade aimed at gutting freedom and democracy with an Executive Order today calling for the deportation of non-citizen anti-war activists, with a particular focus on students. This is a vile attempt to sow fear and crush political dissent to the U.S.-backed Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza, as well as to further the far-Right’s broader anti-immigrant agenda. Should there be any attempt to enforce this authoritarian, unconstitutional, and violent executive order, we call on elected officials, university administrators, and all people of conscience to boldly reject these orders…”

Genocide as colonial erasure - Report of Francesca Albanese, the #UN Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories occupied since 1967 - Question of Palestine (2024-10-01)

https://www.un.org/unispal/document/genocide-as-colonial-erasure-report-francesca-albanese-01oct24/
———

“In the present [October 2024] report, the Special Rapporteur expands the analysis of the post-7 October 2023 violence against Gaza, which has spread to the West Bank, including East Jerusalem. She focuses on genocidal intent, contextualising the situation within a decades-long process of territorial expansion and ethnic cleansing aimed at liquidating the Palestinian presence in Palestine. She suggests that genocide should be seen as integral and instrumental to the aim of full Israeli colonization of Palestinian land while removing as many Palestinians as possible…”

Israel Escalates West Bank Military Assault, Invading Areas Across the North (Mariam Barghouti | Drop Site News, 2025-01-31)

“Israel’s defense minister says troops will remain in Jenin refugee camp indefinitely”

“Barely 48 hours after the ‘ceasefire’ in Gaza came into effect on January 19, Israel announced “Operation Iron Wall,” a large-scale military operation to ‘defeat terrorism in Jenin.’

“What began in the #Jenin refugee camp has expanded to #Tulkarem, #Tubas, #Qalqilya, #Nablus, and #Jericho…”

“A day before the latest Israeli invasion, Palestinian Authority security forces had concluded their own large-scale offensive on the camp dubbed Operation Home, one of the longest and most lethal assaults by Palestinian security forces in recent memory…”

“Our work is not over. Gazans are returning to a devastated land. Entire neighborhoods are rubble on rubble. Local cell towers will take months to repair, meaning people will continue to rely on eSIMs for wifi and service…”

“The genocide in Gaza is far from over, it has – as Bisan Owda and many others point out – simply slowed down. Until the local Internet infrastructure is safely restored, we will keep our eSIMs active and send new ones when we have the funds to do so.

“As Palestinian writer Jehad Abusalim observes, ‘The real fight…doesn’t end with a ceasefire.’ It will take years to rebuild Gaza. Now is not the time to abandon the struggle or waver in our solidarity.”

Israel's Bombs May Have Stopped, But the Genocide Is Not Over (Zeteo, 2025-01-30)

“Yes, Israel’s bombs have stopped, but the genocide is not over. With a destroyed and collapsed healthcare system, we will continue to see more Palestinians die, as they are unable to get the treatment necessary to be able to survive the devastation that Israel (with no US bombs and help, of course) meted out against them.”

“… Israeli leaders made it clear throughout their bombing campaign that they intended to make Gaza unlivable…”

Israeli soldiers are risking jail by refusing to fight in Gaza | The Independent (2025-01-15)

“… a growing number of Israeli soldiers speaking out against the 15-month conflict and refusing to serve anymore, saying they saw or did things that crossed ethical lines. While the movement is small — some 200 soldiers signed a letter saying they’d stop fighting if the government didn't secure a ceasefire — soldiers say it’s the tip of the iceberg and they want others to come forward.”

“Seven soldiers who've refused to continue fighting in Gaza spoke with AP, describing how Palestinians were indiscriminately killed and houses destroyed…”
