Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.
“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.
Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.
But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.
Sorry, can’t use the G word apparently because there are almost 1 million Palestinians and Israel hasn’t tried to kill all of them. According to the big brains out there you can’t call out an attempt at genocide unless it’s full force, plain as day to see, and maximum death count.
…Sigh.
Genocide only occurs in Europe during WWII. If it’s not WWII Europe, it’s not genocide /s
