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.
They released a named list back when it was 7000. Like with full names and national IDs. They’re telling the truth on this one.
I’m sure.
Yes, you should be.
If I was some terrorist dickhead working for Hamas I’d just collate every death which happened from any cause within Gaza and report them as conflict related. Killed by Hamas, killed by Israel, slipped and fell, dead of cancer? Whatever. Just collect all of them.
I don’t know how they’re fudging the numbers, but it would beggar belief that they aren’t. They control the health ministry, they’ve got all the tools they need to inflate the total as much as they want to.
You sound a lot like the covid death toll deniers with that “logic”
Bro the US government is far more credible than Hamas, and anyone who has a legitimate grasp on reality would agree
Then we’d have seen bigger numbers. Gaza has 2.2 million people, and they’re currently starving and drinking brackish water.
Israel itself has said they dropped something like 6000 bombs in the first week. Imagine that number, and then realize Gaza is one of the most populated areas in the world (like pretty much a city all the way through), how would that number of deaths be anything but realistic? Just think about what would happen if they dropped 6000 bombs in Manhatten, how many deaths do you think there would be? If anything, 9000 sounds of the low side.
Wow that’s a lot of people dying of natural causes everyday in Gaza.
There’s a lot of people in Gaza, so, yeah
Gravity is the number 1 killer in the world.
About 150,000 people die every day world wide out of 8.1 billion. If you assume the same ratio for gaza’s 2 million then that would result is approximately 37 deaths per day.
Take into account approximately 30 days of conflict at 37 natural deaths per day that would be around 1100 deaths.
So one can assume that even if they blamed every death of those 10,000 on Israel, at least 8900 probably were.
