“Unable to pinpoint Hamas commanders in Gaza’s tunnels, the Israeli army decimated entire residential blocks with bunker-buster bombs to crush the passages below and flood them with lethal fumes, an investigation reveals.”

“The investigation, based on conversations with 15 Israeli Military Intelligence and Shin Bet officers …, exposes how this strategy aimed to compensate for the army’s inability to pinpoint targets in Hamas’ subterranean tunnel network. When targeting senior commanders in the group, the Israeli military authorized the killing of ‘triple-digit numbers’ of Palestinian civilians as ‘collateral damage,’ …”

“Some of these strikes, which were the deadliest in the war and often used American bombs, are known to have killed Israeli hostages despite concerns raised ahead of time by military officers…”

"We will not sell our land for you, real estate developer. We are hungry, homeless, and desperate but we are not collaborators," said Abdel Ghani, a father of four living with his family in the ruins of their #Gaza City home. "If ( #Trump) wants to help, let him come and rebuild for us here."

As Israel Expands West Bank Operation, Two Soldiers Are Killed (New York Times, 2025-02-04)

⚠️ NYT-ish biased ⚠️

“Two Israeli soldiers were killed in a shooting attack in the northern part of the Israeli-occupied West Bank on Tuesday as Israel pressed ahead with a military operation that has forced many people to flee their homes and caused widespread destruction.

“The attack came two days after Israel announced an eastward expansion in its campaign, which it has said is targeting militants, and which Palestinians have said is one of the most severe in the West Bank in years.”

“It came after the Western-backed Palestinian Authority spent more than a month carrying out its own operation against militants in the Jenin area.”

“But Israel’s operation — one of dozens in recent years — has been more damaging.”
