Social Media Posted June 4 Author Share Posted June 4 Topic UpDate: ‘ A nightmare’: North cries out for action amid widespread fires sparked by Hezbollah. The other Front where Israel is trying to avoid a war. Over 10 civilians and soldiers injured by fire from Hezbollah missiles. The Israeli fore department has reported that after 9 hours of working to contain the fire the overnight blaze is now finally getting under control. Residents and local authorities in northern Israel demanded Tuesday that the government take clear action to restore security, as bushfires sparked by Hezbollah rockets launched from Lebanon spread across large swaths of territory, with emergency services straining to control the blazes. More than a dozen fires have broken out in northern Israel and the Galilee as a result of Hezbollah rocket fire. We will take every measure to protect Israelis from those who try to harm them. pic.twitter.com/aIo4j42PVk — Israel ישראל (@Israel) June 3, 2024 A spokesperson for Kiryat Shmona, where fires lapped overnight at the outskirts of the evacuated border city, lamented that the government was failing to provide even the most basic level of security for residents. Opposition lawmakers panned the government for failing to control what has been an escalating border conflict with the Iran-backed Hezbollah terror group, while far-right ministers declared it was time to go to war in Lebanon, a course of action the government has sought to avoid as Israel is already fighting the Palestinian terror group Hamas in the Gaza Strip, with as yet no clear end to that conflict in sight after eight months of war. Hezbollah made a terrible mistake. This is the kind of mistake they were trying to avoid by firing short-range missiles and not long range missiles towards Haifa or Tel Aviv. This can cause a tipping point of no turning back. If these fires result in any casualties, it… pic.twitter.com/jPjSmfoquF — Open Source Intel (@Osint613) June 3, 2024 The city, along with many other communities close to the Lebanon border, was largely evacuated of residents when Hezbollah began attacking over the boundary on October 8, the day after Palestinian terror group Hamas led a devastating attack on Israel that opened the war in Gaza. Hezbollah, which has reached further and further into northern Israel with increased rocket and drone attacks, says it is acting in support of the Palestinians. As he was talking to Kan, Shnaper said he could hear explosions in the area of the border. Credit: TOS - I24 News 2024-06-04 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Neeranam Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 (edited) The Israeli military continues its bombardment of Gaza, targeting all corners of the strip, resulting in increasing civilian casualties. In Deir el-Balah, an airstrike on an apartment block killed at least nine Palestinians. From the video you can see that the IDF don't care about bombing heavily populated refugee camps .

Were they Hamas terrorists killed? It looked like a very targeted strike that she said killed at least 6 Palestinians? The IDF does not make precision strikes like that to kill civilians. 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff the Chef Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 Biden: People have 'every reason' to believe Netanyahu is prolonging Gaza war The US president said the Israeli prime minister seems to want the war in Gaza to continue for his political survival. US President Joe Biden said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has given people "every reason" to believe he is prolonging the war on Gaza to save his political career. Biden's remarks, published on Tuesday in an interview with Time Magazine, echoed sentiments regularly voiced by analysts and western officials, suggesting that Netanyahu believes his political fortunes are best served by continuing the war. "There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion," Biden said, although his administration had just a day earlier laid the blame for a delay in a ceasefire squarely on Hamas. https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-war-biden-every-reason-believe-netanyahu-prolonging-conflict 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Bkk Brian Posted June 4 Share Posted June 4 More media bias going on with little snippets, context matters. Asked whether Netanyahu wanted the war to continue for his own political self-preservation, Biden initially replied, “I’m not going to comment on that.” But then he said: “There is every reason for people to draw that conclusion.” Biden, however, used the wide-ranging interview to offer qualified support for Netanyahu. He said Hamas was at fault not only for starting the war, but also failing to reach an agreement that could temporarily halt the fighting and lead to hostage releases. He said it was “uncertain” if Israel had committed war crimes. And he pushed back on former President Donald Trump’s criticism that Netanyahu is to blame for allowing the Oct. 7 attack to happen on his watch.

Actually its the ICC not ICJ and yes Biden was condemning them for being outrageous and with "no equivalence — none — between Israel and Hamas". The specific ICC arrest warrant charges are not warranted in his opinion, that does not mean Israel or any individual battalions or soldiers may have not committed other war crimes. Not sure what so difficult to understand about that. There are a few ICC and ICJ topics going round if you want to expand on this with me. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post Jeff the Chef Posted June 5 Popular Post Share Posted June 5 Israel Secretly Targets U.S. Lawmakers With Influence Campaign on Gaza War Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs ordered the operation, which used fake social media accounts urging U.S. lawmakers to fund Israel’s military, according to officials and documents about the effort. Israel organized and paid for an influence campaign last year targeting U.S. lawmakers and the American public with pro-Israel messaging, as it aimed to foster support for its actions in the war with Gaza, according to officials involved in the effort and documents related to the operation. The covert campaign was commissioned by Israel’s Ministry of Diaspora Affairs, a government body that connects Jews around the world with the State of Israel, four Israeli officials said. The ministry allocated about $2 million to the operation and hired Stoic, a political marketing firm in Tel Aviv, to carry it out, according to the officials and the documents. The campaign began in October and remains active on the platform X. At its peak, it used hundreds of fake accounts that posed as real Americans on X, Facebook and Instagram to post pro-Israel comments. The accounts focused on U.S. lawmakers, particularly ones who are Black and Democrats, such as Representative Hakeem Jeffries, the House minority leader from New York, and Senator Raphael Warnock of Georgia, with posts urging them to continue funding Israel’s military. https://www.nytimes.com/2024/06/05/technology/israel-campaign-gaza-social-media.html?unlocked_article_code=1.xU0.K-9d.nc6wnV7jy8jG&smid=nytcore-ios-share&referringSource=articleShare&u2g=i&sgrp=c-cb 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jeff the Chef Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 An Israeli air strike on a UN school packed with hundreds of displaced people in central Gaza has killed more than 20 people, local residents say. The Israeli military said it carried out a strike on a UN school that housed a "Hamas compound". Local journalists told the BBC that an Israeli warplane fired two missiles at classrooms on the top floor of the school in the Nuseirat refugee camp. The Hamas media office said at least 27 people were killed and accused Israel of committing a "horrific massacre". Ambulances and rescue teams have been rushing the wounded and dead to a nearby hospital. Footage on social media showed destroyed classrooms and dead bodies wrapped in shrouds at a morgue. "Enough war! We have been displaced dozens of times. They killed our children while they were sleeping," a woman injured in the attack screamed in one video. Ismail al-Thawabta, director of the Hamas media office, rejected Israel's claims that the UN school had hidden a Hamas command post. "The occupation uses ... false fabricated stories to justify the brutal crime it conducted against dozens of displaced people," he told Reuters. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said jets had conducted a "precise strike on a Hamas compound embedded inside an UNRWA school in the area of Nuseirat". https://www.bbc.com/news/articles/crggq0jygq6o 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Credit: TOS - I24 News 2024-06-04 Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, has threatened an “extremely powerful” response to attacks by Hezbollah from Lebanon, which have escalated in recent days. A few hours after Netanyahu spoke, drones fired by Hezbollah from Lebanon struck the northern Israeli town of Hurfeish, in the Upper Galilee region, which has a largely Druze population, injuring 11 Israelis, one critically. There were several explosions and reports that air raid alarms had not been activated. Earlier this week Hezbollah launched a wave of attacks that set off substantial fires, which were fanned by dry and powerful winds. Television footage from the area of Kiryat Shmona showed firestorms engulfing nearby forests. Emergency services struggled for two days to bring the fires under control. https://www.theguardian.com/world/article/2024/jun/05/netanyahu-israel-hezbollah-attacks Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Bkk Brian Posted June 6 Share Posted June 6 IDF says 20-30 terrorists were sheltering in UNRWA school targeted in Gaza The IDF estimates that between 20 and 30 Hamas and Islamic Jihad terrorists were gathered at the UN school in central Gaza’s Nuseirat when it was struck overnight. Members of the terror groups were in three classrooms, separate from an area where civilians were sheltering. The strike was delayed twice as the military says it worked to fine-tune the plan to avoid harming civilians. Israel has repeatedly accused Hamas of using schools and other civilian infrastructure in the Strip, including where civilians are sheltering, for terror activity. https://www.timesofisrael.com/liveblog_entry/idf-says-20-30-terrorists-killed-in-strike-on-un-school-in-central-gazas-nuseirat/ 1 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Popular Post 0ffshore360 Posted June 6 Popular Post Share Posted June 6 Israel has lost any cause for empathy from me as it continues what can only be a deliberate slow genocide of the Gazan population. The excuse that the IDF will continue until Hamas is eradicated as policy is only an excuse to repeatedly inflict indiscriminate inhumane treatment on women and children and deny basic necessities of life. Before anyone trots out the antisemitism deflection it need be acknowledged that even after the very recent reinforcement of US policy on the subject it was also reiterated that criticism of Israel is NOT antisemitic. 1 1 1 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
