Israel ramps up strikes on Gaza Strip in retaliation of Hamas attacks
Spread The Viralist



Israel says it’s attacking the Gaza Strip with more intensity than ever before. Gaza’s never seen anything like this, with bombardments coming around the clock in retaliation to the Hamas terrorist attacks in villages and at a music festival in Israel that killed at least 1,300 people.

Palestinians lined up outside bakeries and grocery stores in Gaza on Thursday after spending the night surrounded by the ruins of pulverized neighborhoods darkened by a near-total power outage. Israel launched new airstrikes and said it was preparing for a possible ground invasion.

International aid groups warned that the death toll in Gaza could mount after Israel stopped all deliveries of food, water, fuel and electricity to the tiny enclave while its crossing with Egypt is unusable. The war — which was ignited by a bloody and wide-ranging assault on Israel by Hamas militants — has already claimed at least 2,600 lives on both sides.

Lt. Col. Richard Hecht, an Israeli military spokesman, told reporters Thursday that forces “are preparing for a ground maneuver” should political leaders order one. A ground offensive in Gaza, whose 2.3 million residents are densely packed into a sliver of land only 40 kilometers (25 miles) long, would likely bring even higher casualties on both sides in brutal house-to-house fighting.

As Israel pounds Gaza from the air, Hamas fighters have fired thousands of rockets into Israel since their weekend assault. Militants in the territory are also holding an estimated 150 people taken hostage from Israel.

Palestinians fleeing airstrikes could be seen running through the streets, carrying their belongings and looking for a safe place. Tens of thousands have crowded into U.N.-run schools while others are staying with relatives or even strangers who let them in. #Israel #Israelwar #Politics

  1. It’s the Israelis fault, do you see the destruction they caused in Palestine? When the Palestinians fight back they’re the bad guys now?

  2. Praying for Israel & Palestine 🙏🥲💔 Shalom Aleichem 🙏🇮🇱
    Deuteronomy 4:40
    the Lord gave the Israelites this command: “Keep his decrees and commands, which I am giving you today, so that it may go well with you and your children after you and that you may live long in the land the Lord your God gives you for all time.” (Promised Land Israel)

    What was the Promised Land to Isaac?
    The LORD appeared to Isaac and said, "Do not go down to Egypt; live in the land where I tell you to live. Stay in this land for a while, and I will be with you and will bless you. For to you and your descendants I will give all these lands and will confirm the oath I swore to your father Abraham.

    Land of Israel
    It holds that the area is a God-given inheritance of the Jewish people based on the Torah/Bible particularly the books of Genesis and Exodus.

    God instructed Abraham to leave his home and travel to Canaan, the Promised Land, which is today known as Israel 🇮🇱

    Peace for Israel & Palestine 🫶🙏❤

  3. The media don't tell you that the Israelis don't just kill Muslims, They also killing Christians. All media in the US and Europe countries are controlled by Israelis.

  4. Destroying a "holy," land and innocent mothers and children in a fit of human rage is not God's way. Civilizations that have behaved in this manner are no longer here. (Ode to a Crecian Urn..) best describes the outcome of this human behavior. Oh, the inhumanity of it all. Shame. Shame. Shame. All i know, the number of that beast is a man. The universe sees it all and will be the final equalizer.😮
