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.

    well, considering you are a libertarian, you don’t have a good track record of understanding reality

        look, I can’t help that it’s an economic ideology based mainly on a few works of fiction that involve “the parasites are the only thing preventing the Übermensch of creating a pepetomobile”

            libertarianism is mostly based on economic objectivism.

            It’s like socialists and socioeconomics.

            the primary difference being one based on a dialectic analysis of how economics function, leading to what we consider modern economic theory, and the other based on the fantasies of a deeply traumatized woman.
