Al Mayadeen’s sources revealed on Sunday that the Israeli Occupation Forces had been deploying poison gas prior to their incursions into the Gaza Strip.
The source explained that the IOF had attempted to penetrate the Gaza Strip four hours after deploying the toxic gas, noting that this strategy was “used in the main areas of operation, specifically in Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun [Gaza].”
This comes after Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Gaza reported that an Israeli infantry unit fell into an ambush set up by the Resistance in Soufa.
Our correspondent confirmed that “the Israeli infantry unit withdrew from Sofa after intense clashes with the Resistance that lasted for 3 hours.”
Furthermore, the IOF’s spokesperson announced that an Israeli officer was seriously injured as a result of the detonation of an explosive device and that another soldier was injured during confrontations in the northern Gaza Strip.
The Israeli land invasion waged against Gaza along three axes was driven back by the Resistance, which confirmed that the occupation’s soldiers suffered casualties in the process.
The Resistance said that the enemy fell into “ambushes prepared by the Palestinian Resistance” and also noted that it expected the occupation to “attempt to invade Gaza again.”
Al Mayadeen is resistance media, not cnn or phoney western left ngo trash. The second half has important value because even in spite of using chemical weapons these paper tigers cannot inflict strategic defeats against the Palestinian resistance. The Palestinians are not victims they are resisters each every one.
“Today all those who love the Palestinian Struggle realize that those who wish to diminish the magnitude of the achievements of the Al Aqsa Flood operation by talking exclusively about the massacres in Gaza are defeatists and worse than irrelevant.” https://www.almayadeen.net/articles/لا-وقت-للبكاء--المقاومة-تنحر-نتنياهو-على-عتبة-الكنيست
They might plan to blanket the area to kill as many as possible and claim Hamas necessitated it or even that the civilians were already dead, that they were all fighters who died against them or Hamas killed them. Whatever absurdity you like it’s so ridiculous what they get away with. Or they could just deny the dead count as they’ve been doing so far, continue to isolate, cut off internet, take the bodies later and destroy them before any definitive evidence can be established.
This is so upsetting to watch and hear. I just feel so sick watching what I fear really is going to be a massacre. I hope the resistance is able to pull something off.
Have faith the resistance who has spent 17 years planning this tunnels studiously prepared for the possibility of nazis using gas.
I predict that Israel will eventually gas any tunnel they come across and the crazed jingoist on on the will defend it whole heartedly with no sense neither shame or hypocrisy.
Ok, 2 things:
-
Are they going for a war crime bingo?
-
isnt this very very stupid? How does this not spread to israel too? It’s gas
I honestly can’t think of much to say other than reremind people that Fascist Italy also deployed chemical weapons. Reading this story I almost instantly thought of the scene in The Lion of the Desert where Graziani’s forces expelled sulfur mustard into a Libyan valley to harm and terrorise the insurgents resisting Fascism. As somebody who studies the subject, the memory came naturally to me when I saw this.
I know that somebody (most likely a Zionist) could claim that I am simply appealing to guilt by association, but I am not saying that chemical weapons are wrong simply because Fascist Italy used them. Chemical weapons are wrong in their own right, which is why it is unsurprising that the Zionists are using them too.
Optics wise it’s also possibly the only war crime more obviously and blatantly evil than what they’re already doing like bombing the hospital.
The goal, presumably, is to displace the units that cannot be displaced in other ways. What this indicates is that Hamas has established a position that Israel cannot penetrate so they are willing to commit war crimes. That’s a pretty serious endorsement of the effectiveness of Hamas.
It’s not stupid in the sense that if both sides have to displace in order to avoid the gas, presumably Hamas cannot regain their position in time for the subsequent Israeli assault and thus the position will fall.
It’s stupid in that to solve a tactical problem it creates a strategic problem. The tactical problem is this particular position. The strategic problem is the world turning against Israel for using chemical warfare.
Chemical weapons don’t spread that far, the chances of Israelis bieng affected by this is minimal at best. Most chemicals weapons are heavier then air and like to stay in one spot, hence why they were so effective in countering trench warfare.
Only danger is if the wind changes direction, but still that doesn’t pose much of a risk, and that can be prevented by having just a single competent meteorologist and chemical engineer on the dispersal team.
If you remember history, it’s quite natural next step - introducing gas chambers to the concentration camp.
