Amid confirmed reports of hundreds of mosques destroyed and others burned by the Israeli occupation army across Gaza, Israeli soldiers pose for pictures inside a severally damaged mosque in the war-torn region.

This is perfectly normal. They are defense soldiers protecting Europe from "savages".

"Die @tagesschau stellt die #IDF-Behauptung, Angriffe im Norden Gazas richteten sich gg Hamas-Kämpfer, als Tatsache dar. Die katastrophale Situation für die Zivilbevölkerung, auf die gerade erst wieder 15 Hilfsorgas hingewiesen haben, könne man hingegen nicht unabhängig überprüfen." #Propaganda

50,000 Israeli Soldiers Keep Failing to Occupy a Single Lebanese Village

Yedioth Ahronoth reported that "after a month of ground operations, 5 Israeli military divisions & a reserve brigade—over 50,000 soldiers, triple the number deployed in the 2006 July War—have failed to establish a foothold in southern #Lebanon. Despite extensive firepower and air support, the #Israeli #military has not managed to occupy a single village in South Lebanon."

The report attributes this failure to #Hezbollah’s "effective tactical strategies," which include multiple defensive lines equipped with munitions capable of accurately targeting Israeli armored vehicles, tanks, and soldiers. Additionally, it notes the army's difficulties in mapping Hezbollah’s positions and countering the threat posed by small, hard-to-detect drones.

In an interview, Colonel Jack Neriya, a former advisor to Israeli Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, explained that Hezbollah fighters are deliberately allowing Israeli forces to advance, only to trap them in ambushes. This tactic has created a dire situation for Israeli troops, including elite units like Golani and other commandos. Neriya warned that the human cost of any advance could be severe, potentially surpassing "Israel’s" total casualties since the late 1940s (via Al-Akhbar)

Hezbollah sources claim that they have killed or wounded over 200 Israeli soldiers in the past 48 hours

There are no confirmations possible but the moral of Israeli soldiers in occupied Lebanon is pretty low and they keep falling for Hezbollah traps.

Hezb also claims they have damaged or destroyed 30 Markva tanks and many more armored vehicles since the start of the invasion.

"On Dec 26, Israel's first conscientious objector since the start of its war against Hamas, Tal Mitnick, was sent to prison after refusing to serve in the army. Mitnick, however, is not alone. A small group of Israelis are refusing [are] refusing to serve in [the] conflict. "

Around 40 minutes into the truce it’s difficult to say whether it’s holding. The Israeli military (#IDF) said sirens warning of potential incoming rockets had sounded in two Israeli communities near #Gaza but there was no immediate confirmation that attacks had occurred or of any damage or casualties.

The #IDF published a map dividing the Gaza Strip into 2300 segments as part of an advanced displacement plan in a new phase of its genocide ..

Gazans were asked t provide their 'block number' so tht they can be directed to new blocks ..

#AI #algorithms based on data from unmanned drones are orchestrating this never -ending tragedy .. #Israel #Gaza

the #IDF says it killed Rafat Abu Hilal, the head of the military wing of the Popular Resistance Committees - the third largest armed faction in the #Gaza Strip after #Hamas and #Palestinian Islamic Jihad #PIJ.

The IDF says it carried out the airstrike on the southern Gaza city of #Rafah following information received from the Shin Bet intelligence service.

#IDF says that it destroyed "hundreds of #Hamas terrorist infrastructures" over the past day.

In a post on X the IDF said it "continues to attack all the time throughout the #Gaza Strip", adding that it destroyed "anti-tank missile launch sites, tunnel shafts, intelligence infrastructures, operational headquarters and other headquarters".

It also claims that "over ten terrorists were also eliminated".

President #Biden backed #Israel's claim, saying it was supported by "data" he had seen from the US defence department

Israel was immediately blamed by #Hamas but the Israel Defense Forces #IDF said the blast was caused by a misfired #Palestinian militant rocket

A range of Arab countries joined Hamas in blaming Israel for the explosion, and some Arab leaders cancelled meetings with Biden

V Haaretz:
'The #Palestinian Islamic Jihad #PIJ rejected the #Israeli military #IDF spokesman's statement that a failed rocket launch by the militant group in #Gaza was the source of the explosion at Al-#Ahli #Hospital on Tuesday night, claiming that "the angle of the impact and the intensity of the fire proves that it was an attack from the air", adding that "Israel is spreading [contradicting] versions [of events]". (Cont.)

#BBC 's intnl editor Jeremy Bowen asks #IDF 's Hagari whether he thinks the governments of #Jordan , #Egypt , #Saudi Arabia and the #UAE - which last night condemned #Israel for the hospital blast - will believe his claims.

Hagari says he hopes, following the IDF's analysis, that "the BBC will now share this investigation and those countries will listen".

He adds that the IDF intends to share the analysis with the US - and any other country that wants to see it.

#CNN reporter asks why the media should believe the #IDF 's claims, using an example of the #Israeli government once blaming #Palestinian militants for the death of the journalist #Shireen Abu #Aqla
He says it's now known this isn't true.
Responding, Hagari admits #Israel has, in the past, been "fast to go to conclusions".

But he says after the hospital blast, officials "took their time" because they wanted to "double check" they had all the facts right.

Hagari says if the #IDF was responsible for the blast there would have been a "crater" or some "structural damage".

Showing a diagram of the ( #Ahli ) #hospital, he says there is no such damage - "the walls stay intact".

He says this is because the blast was caused by an Islamic Jihad #PIJ rocket, which "failed to launch" properly and was "misfired".

As a reminder, #Hamas and #Palestinian authorities have blamed #Israel for the blast at the hospital

#IDF Hagari continues, saying #Hamas understood the blast was caused by a misfired Islamic Jihad rocket, but launched a "global media campaign" to blame #Israel

"They went as far as inflating the numbers of casualties," he says. "They understood with absolute certainty that it was a rocket misfired by Islamic Jihad that damaged the ( #Ahli ) #hospital ."

He says aerial footage confirms there was no direct hit to the hospital itself and there was no damage to nearby buildings.

#IDF 's Daniel Hagari says the #Israeli military has concluded the #Palestinian Islamic Jihad #PIJ group was responsible for the Al #Ahli #hospital blast.

He says a barrage of rockets were fired by #Hamas to #Israel at 18:15 local time on Tuesday - before the hospital blast.

Then, at 18:59, he says a barage of around 10 rockets was fired by PiJ from a nearby cemetery. At the same time, there were reports of an explosion at the hospital in #Gaza City, he says.

#IDF spox Conricus says 600,000 #Palestinians have made "the smart and self-preservatory" decision to move south (ahead of its expected ground offensive).

But, he goes on "still a few hundred thousand that need to - and should - go".

Conricus claims #Hamas - which told people to stay put - had a "delaying effect" on people leaving the area, but he is confident that the more time goes on, the more the militant group will stop using "its own civilians as human shields"

Reuters is just reporting that the #US, #Israel and #Egypt have agreed to a #ceasefire in southern #Gaza to coincide with the reopening of the #Rafah crossing on the Gaza-Egypt border. We had earlier seen media reports saying the Egyptian-controlled Rafah crossing - now the only possible road out of Gaza - will be open "for a few hours" on Monday
#IDF spox on air just now with #BBCWorldService didn't seem to have any knowledge of any such agreement

#IDF spox said they estimate some 500,000 people have left northern #Gaza so far and accused #Hamas of making it difficult for those trying to move south.
Asked about a bombing on Friday which killed a reported 70 people on a road identified as safe by the Israeli army, Conricus repeated that IDF does not actively target civilians.

But at one point during the briefing he appeared to acknowledge that the 'nature of the operation' means it’s 'not always possible to avoid civilian casualties.'

GRAPHIC DESCRIPTION
V #BBC def corr Jonathan Beale:
#IDF have been displaying some of the WEAPONS from the #Hamas attack. #Israel said the militants had brought more than 1,000 with them when they crossed the border, incl some thermobaric bombs (which was said to have been used to burn out buildings and incinerate those inside), a few Soviet-era Strela shoulder-launched missiles and a couple of shoulder-launched rockets, which appeared to have Nato stockpile numbers written on the side.

V Haaretz:
#IDF Spox stmt saying that following an assessment of the situation and the shooting incident in the north, the army decided to 'isolate the area of up to four kilometers from the northern border with #Lebanon '.

The spox clarified that 'entering the area is strictly prohibited and asks the public to be vigilant. Residents staying up to two kilometers from the border are required to be near a protected area.'
#Israel #Gaza #hamas

V #BBC Hugo Bachega in S. Lebanon:
'The arm of the #Palestinian militant group -
#Hamas in #Lebanon - has confirmed that three of its members were killed while infiltrating #Israel from southern Lebanon early on Saturday.

It said the men were “able… to blow up the border fence” and “target the surveillance and access checkpoint” near the Israeli village of #Margaliot

On Saturday, the Israel Defense Forces #IDF said it had killed “from the air” three “terrorists” in that area.'

Thousands of #Palestinians are continuing to flee northern #Gaza ahead of #Israel's expected ground offensive.

In its latest update the #IDF says civilians still in northern Gaza must head south between 10:00 and 13:00 local time.

They should use a single route running from Beit Hanoun towards Khan Yunis, it says, adding that it will not target the route during those hours.

Initially, a 24-hour evacuation window was set by Israel for people to flee the area.

There's been a protest outside #Israel’s def min by families demanding more information about those missing and the #hostages held by #Hamas.

Some there believed the area around #Gaza was left unprotected because troops had been deployed to the occupied West Bank by the hardline, ultranationalist govt of Netanyahu.

"The #IDF is supposed to defend us, not to secure some crazy adventure of settlers which only harm the security of Israel and the security of its soldiers" a participant said

It has just passed 7.30 AM in the Midde East - you might have missed some of the following:

" #IDF is gearing up for a comprehensive offensive" with the help of hundreds of thousands of reserve personnel, its stmt says.

No timings were given. A ground offensive into the #Gaza Strip has been expected and #Israel has asked residents in the north to flee.

It says they plan an offensive "involving air, sea, and land" forces.
