'Of 200 Bodies, Only 10 Were Confirmed as Hamas Members': IDF Soldiers Who Served in Gaza Tell Haaretz That Anyone Who Crosses an Imaginary Line in the Contested Neztarim Corridor Is Shot to Death, With Every Palestinian Casualty Counting as a Terrorist – Even if They Were Just a Child

Israeli soldiers are now on the record with accounts of atrocities committed by the IDF. The stuff the UN and humanitarian groups have been reporting on for months. There is no question the Biden admin is complicit by not withholding arms shipments as a way to leverage Bibi to call off the dogs. It's a disgrace.

You would not believe how much the news is sanitized in the U.S., travel overseas and what you are seeing on Al Jazeera would blow your mind, and it's obvious that Al Jazeera is also censoring, no network is showing what is happening in Gaza but what Al Jazeera is showing you def won't see in the U.S..

Israel Loosened Its Rules to Bomb Hamas Fighters, Killing Many More Civilians​

At exactly 1 p.m. on Oct. 7, 2023, Israel’s military leadership issued an order that unleashed one of the most intense bombing campaigns in contemporary warfare.

Effective immediately, the order granted mid-ranking Israeli officers the authority to strike thousands of militants and military sites that had never been a priority in previous wars in Gaza. Officers could now pursue not only the senior Hamas commanders, arms depots and rocket launchers that were the focus of earlier campaigns, but also the lowest-ranking fighters.

In each strike, the order said, officers had the authority to risk killing up to 20 civilians.

The order, which has not previously been reported, had no precedent in Israeli military history. Mid-ranking officers had never been given so much leeway to attack so many targets, many of which had lower military significance, at such a high potential civilian cost.

Surprised by Oct. 7 and fearful of another attack, Israel weakened safeguards meant to protect noncombatants, allowing officers to endanger up to 20 people in each airstrike. One of the deadliest bombardments of the 21st century followed.

I realize Israel's defenders don't want to acknowledge numbers coming from the Gaza health ministry. But even if they are inflated by 10% the numbers are still horrific.

DEIR AL-BALAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — The death toll in the Gaza Strip from the 13-month-old war between Israel and Hamas has surpassed 44,000, local health officials said Thursday.

The Gaza Health Ministry does not distinguish between civilians and combatants in its count, but it has said that more than half of the fatalities are women and children. The Israeli military says it has killed over 17,000 militants, without providing evidence.

The Health Ministry said 44,056 people have been killed and 104,268 wounded since the start of the war. It has said the real toll is higher because thousands of bodies are buried under rubble or in areas that medics cannot access.
