That is not modification that is a weak attempt at covering up a lie. The actual figure is 35% remember that for the future If the IDF does not stop soon, it will be 70%.

That is not modification that is a weak attempt at covering up a lie. The actual figure is 35% remember that for the future 5 to 10% is not a material number and does not alter my point. Bear in mind that the figure includes Rafah which is still intact so that means a far greater percentage of northern Gaza infrastructure - that part which has been bombed - has been destroyed. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Thousands rally in Tel Aviv demanding prisoner exchange deal with Hamas According to the Israel Broadcasting Authority, a large crowd gathered in Kaplan Square, central Tel Aviv to protest against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government and urge for a hostage exchange with Hamas. “We announce the death of the Zionist captive Yejiv Bukhattaf, 34, due to shortages of medicine and food,” Al-Qassam stated via Telegram. “We previously warned that enemy captives suffer from the same conditions as our people; hunger, deprivation, shortages of food and medicine, and that illness now threatens the lives of many of them,” the armed wing added. Commenting on the video, Al-Qassam said: “What the people of Gaza suffer from, the siege and shortages of food and medicine, your captives will also suffer from (referring to Israel and the families of captives).” https://www.aa.com.tr/en/middle-east/israeli-hostage-dies-in-gaza-due-to-lack-of-medicine-food/3173101 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

So yes, in November, already 70% of Palestinian homes had been wiped out, it is sufficiently serious to be repeated once. "so why are you doing the same thing yet again?"

ozimoron Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Among the items rejected during inspections are oxygen cylinders and anaesthetics for hospitals, which are vital for those injured in airstrikes, including the 10 children on average each day who are having to get one or both of their legs amputated. Stone fruit is being refused entry under the explanation that the stones could be used as bullets or used to plant trees, even while famine looms, and tent poles – which are key to providing shelter for Gaza’s 1.9million displaced people – are also being turned away, ActionAid has heard. https://actionaid.org/news/2024/essential-aid-including-food-and-medical-supplies-prevented-entering-gaza-23-million 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ozimoron Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 Around 97 percent of the ground water in Gaza is reportedly unfit for human consumption. As of 15 February 2024, over 46 percent of all cropland in the Gaza Strip was assessed to be damaged. Likewise, agricultural infrastructure has been devastated, with the highest levels of destruction to animal shelters, sheep farms, dairy farms, home barns and broiler farms. https://reliefweb.int/report/occupied-palestinian-territory/gaza-briefing-un-security-council-fao-calls-immediate-cessation-hostilities-and-restoration-humanitarian-space-eliminate-risk-famine 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted March 24 Share Posted March 24 The numbers of captured terrorists are huge for the Shifa Hospital operation, update just a few mins ago IDF: 480 of 800 detained suspects at Shifa Hospital are Hamas or Islamic Jihad members The IDF’s nearly weeklong operation continues at Gaza City’s Shifa Hospital, with the military saying that among some 800 suspects detained by troops, 480 of them have been confirmed to be members of the Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad terror groups. Troops also located infrastructure belonging to terror groups and caches of weapons over the past, the IDF says. Times of Israel 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I already said I'd accept that the figure is at elast 70% and relates to homes, not all buildings. I also said it includes Rafah which has not been bombed yet. My point is made. Nitpicking over the actual number doesn't materially alter the fact that this is a war crime of horrific proportions. I don't obsess over the actual numbers, only the broader point which is the war crimes perpetrated by Israel. The Wall Street Journal reports that almost half of Gaza’s buildings have been damaged or destroyed in the war there, a figure that also accounts for almost 70 percent of its 439,000 homes. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/some-70-of-gaza-homes-damaged-or-destroyed-wall-street-journal-analysis/ Edited March 24 by ozimoron 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
