Suppressed News, an alternative media website is highlighting:

Hebrew Media is reporting a ‘black Saturday’. More than 7 Israeli soldiers killed and more than 11 injured. This is although, officially the number that is announced so far is 4 killed and 3 injured.

A patrol led by the deputy commander of the “Nahal” Brigade was traveling down a side street in an area that the Israeli army described as “cleared,” meaning that the Palestinian resistance there had been completely eliminated but clearly it wasn’t.

The latest deadly incident occurred in Beit Hanoon, at the northernmost tip of the Gaza Strip and a short distance from the border overlooking Israeli settlements.

A powerful IED, manufactured by the resistance using remnants of Israeli military equipment, detonated inside one of the vehicles, killing three soldiers and officers who were inside.

Following this, Palestinian resistance fighters completed the mission by directly firing on the convoy to confirm the casualties, as well as on the rescue team, before reportedly withdrawing from the area through a tunnel.

Bernie Sanders Says Israel is Despicable

Independent US Sen. Bernie Sanders sharply denounced Israel’s ongoing blockade of the besieged Gaza Strip, and its plan to greatly expand the war and occupy the coastal enclave.

“64 days with no aid reaching Gaza. No food, no water, no medicine. Children are starving,” Sanders said in a statement posted on X. “Netanyahu’s extremist government now says it will occupy Gaza and put mercenaries in charge of distributing aid, instead of the UN and other aid groups. Despicable. No more US support for Netanyahu’s war machine.”

Earlier in the day, Israel’s Security Cabinet unanimously approved a plan to expand its ongoing military onslaught on the Gaza Strip and occupy territories inside the enclave.

In a statement, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said the Cabinet approved “the operational plan” submitted by army chief Eyal Zamir to “defeat (Palestinian group) Hamas” and for the return of Israeli captives held in Gaza.

According to the statement, the plan requires the army “to conquer Gaza and hold the territory under its control.”

Israeli Channel 12 reported that the plan also includes the forcible relocation of Palestinians from northern Gaza to the south, according to Anadolu.

More than 52,500 Palestinians, mostly women and children, have been killed in Gaza in a brutal Israeli onslaught since October 2023.

In November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.
