Gaza
950 dead
5000 injured
190000 displaced (Amnesty)
1500 dead Hamas operatives (according to the IDF this is the body count that was found withing Israeli borders)
notes and unconfirmed numbers
several hundreds of tons of explosive have been dropped on Gaza- there is no official new number, but from my calculation, over 2000 targets were hit. There is nonstop bombing of Gaza.
Israeli authorities have publicly told Gazians to flee to Egypt for their safety. there are reports that Hamas is ordering citizens to stay around places that are known to be marked to be bombed. Egypt shown displeasure with the idea that they will have to take the fleeing Gazians in, and told Israel off for telling the Gazians to flee to Egypt. The Rafah Border Crossing is being opened and closed periodically due to Egypt and Israeli actions.
Gazians are struggling to get people out of the rubble- therefore numbers are probably bigger.
displaced Israelis- there is no official count.
still no official number of captured Hamas operatives.
Israeli counts (including kidnapped) include foreign citizens and Palestinians that are Israeli residence/citizens. unknown at the moment about foreign casualties inside of Gaza. there are foreign citizens in Gaza.
Israel shut both electricity and water to Gaza, Egypt is being talked with in order to arrange humanitarian aid.
Hamas reported that at least 4 prisoners were killed as a result of the bombing- I don’t have confirmation of more.
Hamas issued Monday night a warning that if Israel will not stop attacking they will start killing captives- no new information in the matter.
Lebanon situation is messy. The Jihad and Hezbollah on one side and the IDF on the other are attacking each other with gunfire and missile fire were exchanged. Unknown number of casualties- looking for more.
yesterday Hamas gave out a telegram warning to Ashkelon citizens to get out of the city before 17:00, at that time they started a barrage of rockets. the warning was not covered in Israeli media (at least that I could see).
there are still attempts to enter Israel by Hamas operatives, most are killed immediately.
for those using my count posts to follow the situation, sorry for not doing an evening recap yesterday, the fog of war was thick and I was struggling to verify stuff
i'm reading an essay by early zionist leader and author ze'ev jabotinsky called "the iron wall" and not going to lie, it's rather interesting the way early zionists blatantly described founding a jewish state as "colonialism".
he also seems to know, or rather push the idea, that palestinians would never voluntarily accept a jewish state
the kind of solutions he has (the "iron wall") is unnervingly similar to israels current solution of using the united states and other western countries as a kind of protection
^ this last one is has rather obvious implications of a forced agreement
and the language he uses to describe arabs + perceptions of arabs is also rather interesting, to say the least
^ this phrasing sound eerily similar, no?
he does seem to admit that arabs are not fools, though, albeit still thinking theyre inferior.
Nearly 200k Palestinians prayed on the night of 27th Ramadan in Masjid Al-Aqsa.
This is highly symbolic of the Tawakal one should have. You have been left alone by the materialistic world and apparently no sign of relief is visible. But then the belief that Allah Azawajal, who is As-Samii and Al-Baseer, shall establish the day of reckoning overcomes the will of every single bloodthirsty creature out there.
