Head of the Israeli opposition in the Knesset laments on the Gaza war with a sense of frustration as he says:
Israel has still 101 people in captivity in Gaza, 804 soldiers killed in the war with the Palestinian resistance, 12,000 injured and with an economy that is in collapse.
He therefore asks: What are they [Ministers] talking about in government meeting amidst a whirlwind of emotions?
CROSSFIREARABIA – The number of Hezbollah missiles launched from southern Lebanon, Sunday, has increased to 340.
This is the largest single volley of missiles Hezbollah struck north and center Israel in a single day since 7 October, 2023.
These trajectories, including missiles and drones have reached all parts, cities, towns, settlements and military and naval bases across Israel, reaching to the Ashdod Port just before the northern Gaza Strip.
The major city of Tel Aviv took a battering on Sunday, 24 November, 2024, being volley-struck four times in a single day – the biggest ever scare since 7 October.
Today, sirens, according to Israeli sources went off 500 times across Israel with four million Israelis spending their day in underground shelters.
Military expert Brigadier-General Elias Hanna said that Hezbollah is trying – through its intensive rocket barrages towards central Israel, Sunday – “to draw a new equation whose title is the heart of Beirut versus Tel Aviv.” He explained that Hezbollah has proven its ability to launch rockets from the front lines into the Israeli interior, pointing to the large number of rockets it launched today compared to a previous daily average of between 70 and 100 rockets.
Gazan witness Imad Hamdan describes a deeply emotional and tragic situation, where a bereaved mother from Gaza is given an offer by a gravedigger about the way to burry her two children.
The mother, in a state of shock, responds by suggesting that perhaps her third child, who is in critical condition in the ICU, can be buried next to her siblings.
At this situation, Imad Hamdan expresses the overwhelming anguish and the madness of a situation that Gazan mothers undergo in the current relentless war, describing it as so unfathomable that it pushes the limits of human understanding.
