Indeed, they are digging their own graves, continuing to bomb refugee camps. 

 

Several people have been killed and a number of others have been injured in Israeli bombing that targeted an UNRWA school housing displaced people in Shati refugee camp, located on the coast of Gaza City, according to our colleagues on the ground.

IDF says strike hit Hamas command room housed in container at Gaza City UN school

Army doesn’t say how many gunmen hit; Palestinians say 15 dead, including at least 3 civilians; IDF identifies 17 terror operatives killed in Thursday strike on UNRWA school.

The Israel Defense Forces said Friday that they had carried out an airstrike on a Hamas command center that had been set up in a United Nations school in Gaza City’s Shati neighborhood, killing several members of the cell.

The strike comes a day after the IDF hit another UN school housing what it said was a compound used by dozens of terror operatives. The IDF on Friday also released the identities of another eight Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad operatives who were among those killed in that strike, bringing the number of named terror operatives so far to to 17.

Israel’s war on Gaza may be “a curtain call” for the post-World War Tw0 international rules-based order, Amnesty International secretary general Agnes Callamard said on Thursday.

“The gravity of the violations being committed, the fact that we are witnessing them every day… the flimsy justification by western democracies - all of these warn… of a possible total collapse of the rules-based order,” she said.

Speaking at the Balfour Project annual conference in London, Callamard denounced the US and UK’s continued backing of Israel’s offensive in Gaza as “making a mockery” of international law.

The conference dealt with the question how “peace with justice” can be achieved in Palestine, but many of the speakers highlighted how the actions of the UK, US and other western governments are at odds with this goal.

IDF says dozens of terror operatives killed in central Gaza, including head of Hamas rocket cell

The IDF says it has killed dozens of terror operatives amid an ongoing operation in east Buriej and east Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip.
The operation began earlier this week, and is being carried out by the 98th Division.
Troops located tunnel shafts and demolished infrastructure used by terror groups in the area, the IDF says.

Stating the blindingly obvious.

It's apparent to all but the willfully blind that when it comes to israel some western leaders are all too willing to ditch the rules. Shame on them for doing so when they take a 180 degree approach to Russia's invasion of Ukraine.

'We will not surrender': Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh fumes after Israel frees hostages

“Our people will not surrender, and the resistance will continue to defend our rights in the face of this criminal enemy,” Haniyeh reportedly said. “And if the occupation believes that it can impose its choices on us by force, it is delusional, and the movement will not agree to any agreement that does not achieve security for our people first and foremost.”

You could be a spokesperson for the IDF with remarks like that.

 

If Gantz is a Hamas supporter his military career says otherwise:

 

Military career
Gantz was drafted into the IDF in 1977. He volunteered as a paratrooper in the Paratroopers Brigade. His first mission as a young conscript in 1977 was as part of the security detail for Egyptian President Anwar Sadat's visit to Israel. As a paratrooper, he fought in Operation Litani in March 1978 and also participated in a June 1978 raid against a Fatah training base in Lebanon. In 1979, Gantz became an officer after completing Officer Candidate School. He returned to the Paratroopers Brigade and served as a platoon leader and company commander, completed a course in the U.S. Army Special Forces, and fought in the First Lebanon War.

Later on, he led 890 "Efe" (Echis) paratroop battalion in counter-guerrilla operations in the South Lebanon security zone. In 1991, he commanded the commando unit that was on the ground in Addis Ababa, Ethiopia, for 36 hours, securing the Operation Solomon airlift of 14,000 Ethiopian Jews to Israel.

He served in senior command positions during the Second Intifada and Second Lebanon War.

In the course of his military career, Gantz served as commander of the Shaldag Unit in the Israeli Air Force; commander of the 35th Paratroopers Brigade; commander of the Reserves Division in the Northern Command; commander of the Lebanon Liaison Unit; commander of the Judea and Samaria Division in 2000, before becoming the commander of the Israeli Northern Command in 2001; and as Israel's military attaché in the United States from 2005 until 2009, before becoming the deputy chief of the General Staff.

No, it was not a lie. I said they called him a Hamas supporter, which they did. That other Hamas supporters hear it differently does not make it a lie. Like why you say Israel is committing genocide, I don't call you a liar, because clearly you have no real idea of what genocide means.
