Israel Kills 29 Players in Football Game Strike

They were killed by an Israeli strike whilst playing football in Al Awda School in Abassan town near Khan Younis towards the south of the Gaza Strip, Tuesday.

Videoclips on the social media show the attack live and which resulted in at least 30 being killed and 53 injured. Most of the dead are women and children.

This is the fourth Israeli strike on a school building in four days. These buildings are used by displaced Palestinians as shelters. The Israeli army wants the Palestinians to keep move but nobody knows where!

Exclusive footage from the school, obtained by Al Jazeera, shows young Palestinians playing football in the building’s yard as dozens of people watch on. Then, a loud explosion is heard, sending people running for cover.

“We were sitting and a missile fell and destroyed everything,” he said, sobbing. “I lost my uncle, my cousins and my relatives,” one Palestinian boy said.

The Israeli attack is trending on the social media with much images and videoclips and its just the last of thousands of massacres committed by the Israeli army in its genocide against Gaza.

The extent of horrors is conveyed by one report that simply says  “You are looking at the remains of what was previously a human being!” This is “from the US-Israeli strike on Al-Awda school in Khan Younis.

Their body parts are collected from the ground and placed into boxes and buckets.”

One lady said “My father was mutilated, I collected his meat with my hands.”

He was holding my grandfathers hand, but everything else was unrecognizable, they completely mutilated him! He was completely mutilated and my grandfather was half mutilated”

Earth-shattering testimony of a woman who found her father a pile of meat after being trampled by Israeli tanks,” she said.

European Union’s foreign policy chief condemned the latest deadly Israeli attack. “For how long are innocent civilians going to bear the brunt of this conflict?” Josep Borrell said on X.

Condemning the attack as a violation of international law, he said “those responsible must be held accountable.”

“It is imperative to immediately reach a cease-fire to bring respite to hundreds of stranded civilians, free all the hostages, deliver the needed humanitarian aid,” he said.

Six Israeli Soldiers Confess Their Sins in Gaza

Israeli forces routinely executed Palestinian civilians during military operations in the Gaza Strip, according to testimonies of army soldiers.

Six soldiers, who spoke with Tel Aviv-based website +972 and Local Call news site, said troops shot at civilians simply because they entered an area defined by the army as a “no-go zone,” according to Anadolu.

“If we see someone in a window looking at us, he is a suspect. You shoot,” one soldier said.

Various sources said orders given to soldiers to shoot without restrictions gave them a way to blow off steam or relieve the dullness of their daily routine.

“I’m bored, so I shoot,” an Israeli soldier recounted. “I personally fired a few bullets for no reason, into the sea or at the sidewalk or an abandoned building.”

Another soldier said the Israeli military would open extensive fire on “seemingly unpopulated or abandoned areas” for no reason.

“Such orders would come directly from the commanders of the company or battalion in the field,” another soldier said.

Describing the approach used in Gaza, a soldier stated, “Shoot first, ask questions later.”

“That was the consensus … No one will shed a tear if we flatten a house when there was no need, or if we shoot someone who we didn’t have to,” he added.

The soldiers also described how the corpses of dead Palestinian civilians were left to “decay and be eaten by stray animals.”

According to them, the military hid these bodies before the arrival of international aid convoys “so that images of people in advanced stages of decay don’t come out.”

Two of the soldiers also testified to a systematic policy of setting Palestinian homes on fire after occupying them.

Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza since an Oct. 7, 2023 attack by Palestinian group Hamas.

More than 38,200 Palestinians have since been killed, mostly women and children, and over 88,000 others injured, according to local health authorities.

Nine months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lie in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.

Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered it to immediately halt its military operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge from the war before it was invaded on May 6 accordiing to the Turkish news agency.

Which States Are Restricting Weapons’ Sales to Israel?

Several Western countries and companies have restricted the sale of raw materials to Israel that can be converted to ammunition amid Tel Aviv’s deadly offensive on the Gaza Strip, according to Israeli media on Tuesday as reported by Anadolu

Weapons suppliers from European countries “have simply stopped responding to their Israeli counterparts,” Israeli financial newspaper Calcalist said.

It said Italy, Canada and Belgium have announced a halt to defense exports to Israel. Spain also prevented a ship carrying a weapons shipment from India to Israel from docking at its ports stated the Turkish news agency.

Some other countries, including Serbia, however, continue to provide an airlift of military supplies to Israel.

The halt of supplies of raw materials to Israel has raised concerns in the Israeli Defense Ministry and army about the possibility of an ammunition shortage.

Looking for alternatives, the Israeli defense establishment has begun to promote “the advancement of the local industry and reducing reliance on imported shells and ammunition from foreign countries,” the newspaper said.

This option, however, is not sufficient as the ammunition produced in Israel is more expensive than that can be imported from abroad.

Hagari, Netanyahu Clash Over Hamas Resurfaces

Its being put this way: “A new clash is developing between Netanyahu and Hagari” as one blogger put it.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is angered by spokesman of the Israeli army Daniel Hagari who told the American ABC News channel that Israel would still be fighting Hamas five years from now.

Later Israel’s Channel 14 reported that Netanyahu strongly criticized Hagari in a closed meet of the Israeli government.

The clash between the two is trending on social media. Another blogger put it this way saying Hagari has “admitted to the American media that his army was unable to eliminate Hamas no matter how long lasted.

His comments are being widely distributed. Hagari told ABC’s Mike Gutman: “Will you and me be talking five years from now about Hamas as a terror organization in Gaza? The answer is yes.”

Israel Hayom said Hagari presented a candid assessment and it contrasts sharply with the “optimistic rhetoric” of Netanyahu “who continues to promise a swift defeat of Hamas.” The paper said Hagari’s comments suggest “a more complex and challenging road ahead for the Israeli forces in Gaza.”

The widening rift between Hagari and Netanyahu is increasing especially because the comments of the Rear Admiral about his earlier comments last month about the impossible task of destroying Hamas, quoted as saying:

This business of destroying Hamas, making Hamas disappear – it’s simply throwing sand in the eyes of the public,” he said. “Hamas is an idea, Hamas is a party. It’s rooted in the hearts of the people – whoever thinks we can eliminate Hamas is wrong.”
