Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.
“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”
Disappointing to say the least.

but understandable - after all, there’s still quite a few hostages that the terrorists are holding. hopefully they’re being treated humanely and not, you know, tortured & etc but terrorists thrive on terrorism…

One tragedy doesn’t justify the other tragedy, or make it less important. It’s not a competition.
One tragedy can’t justify another. But one is causing the other.
Entirely predictable though. Unlike previous rounds between Israel and Gaza, they haven’t been targeting the rocket infrastructure. Hamas and PIJ have been bombing Israeli cities daily since October 7th. It doesn’t get much coverage because most are intercepted and Israel intentionally censors most documentation of it - but you can find it in the liveblogs of most Israeli news sources.
The Hamas and IDF aligned telegram channels have both been remarkably consistent about cheering when about our munitions landing in their territory and decrying the reverse.
