Gaza-Israel Media Dump - 2023-10-07/09

A Special Edition for this conflict

Oct 07, 2023

This post is nothing more than an unstructured Telegram/Twitter media dump of what has transpired in the last few days in the Gaza-Israel region. We may add to it as media presents itself. Do not subscribe just for this post or for Gaza-Israel conflict coverage. We’re staying focused on Ukraine-Russia.

The conflict deserves a more thoughtful investigation than we have time for. This post should not be considered a fair or balanced view of the conflict. There are centuries of history that we are not considering here. What led to this day is not reflected here. This is simply open source media being dropped in a blog for people without Telegram. The likely trajectory after today is that Israel will hammer Gaza for a few weeks, until international pressure brings that to a stop. Then it will all happen again after some time passes.

Opinions found in the post are quotes of the people posting the original material.

❗️🇮🇱🇵🇸 Aggravation in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict zone: what is known as of 10.30

This morning, Kataib Izz ad-Din al-Qassam (militant wing of Hamas ) announced the start of Operation Al-Aqsa Flood, unleashing another local war against Israel. The formal reason was regular harassment and attacks on Al-Aqsa, where local Arab parishioners were repeatedly subjected to repression (plus, in the last few weeks, raids against Islamic Jihad have been carried out in Jenin ).

The operation began quite impressively: a boat landing was landed in the north of the Gaza Strip, and footage of an air landing also appeared on the Internet - someone paraglided to the rear cities.

🔻Everything turned out as impressive as possible in the Arab traditional jihad style.

▪️As a result of three hours of fighting, the group successfully captured a military base in the village. Kerim-Shalom: There is plenty of footage of killed IDF soldiers and captured equipment on the Internet (there is also a photo of a burnt Merkava). This is a hefty base on the border with Egypt. To put it mildly, the trophy is very juicy.

Coordinates: 31.217560751598924, 34.27259402771169

▪️At the moment, fighting continues in Nativ Ha Asar, Berri, and Sderot. The population of border villages is panicking: there are images of people running on foot. The Israel Defense Forces began to launch retaliatory strikes only after 10 a.m. The Israeli Ministry of Defense directly stated that Hamas went to war against them, and at 10.30 the start of the counter-terrorist operation “Iron Swords” was officially announced.

▪️At the same time, over five thousand missiles were fired (usually handicrafts that fall anywhere, but add noise and panic). Rockets continue to fly toward Israel, local media are trying to convince the population that in this way the Palestinians are covering their retreat (but no one is going to retreat yet).

▪️Yes, there is talk on the Internet about the beginning of a full-fledged intifada, but not a single Arab leader or group has made public statements. Currently, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Al-Aqsa Martyrs' Brigade, Al-Quds Brigade, and Tullkarm Battalion are participating in the fighting.

▪️The Israeli side claims over 200 wounded and injured; Islamic Jihad boasts of 35 captured IDF soldiers.

🔻They are already writing that at a Cabinet meeting at 1 p.m., Netanyahu will officially declare war against all Palestinian groups. Given the scale of the sharp escalation this time (and mini-wars between Israel and the Palestinians occur once every six months, on average), most likely we will see a full-fledged ground operation by the Israel Defense Forces. It is possible that this time other “Islamic resistance” groups may join Hamas and “Islamic Jihad” - especially if they see that the Palestinians do not have enough of their own forces and they will be on the verge of destruction (it is beneficial for Hezbollah to act in roles as saviors of the Palestinians).

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu: “I ordered a massive mobilization of reserves, we are at war and the enemy will pay a price he did not know.”

Arab resources publish additional photos from one of the captured Israeli military bases.

Rockets from the Gaza Strip also hit the village of Kharas in the Hebron area

NEW: Israel PM Benjamin Netanyahu tells Gaza residents to “GET OUT NOW” as he vows to use all IDF capabilities to destroy Hamas. “We will win this war, but the price will be unbearably heavy. Hamas wants to murder us all,” Netanyahu said. “Murdering children and mothers in their homes, in their beds. It is an enemy that kidnaps elderly people, children, young girls.” “What happened today has never been seen before in Israel and I will ensure it never happens again. The entire government supports this decision. The IDF will immediately use all its power to destroy Hamas’s capabilities.” “We will fight them to the bitter end and avenge this black day they plotted for Israel and its people.” Video:

Breaking Israel: Entire families and car loads of Israeli civilians have been slaughtered in the most brutal surprise attack on the Sabbath when many Israelis were celebrating #Shabat The Israeli Defence forces appear to have been completely caught off-guard and the feared #Mossad intelligence services have failed spectacularly in preventing this horrific attack. We are likely to see a retaliation so severe that Palestine may cease to exist. Iran watches with interest and considers whether to take advantage of a blindsided Israel and push the attack to destroy the nation of Israel once and for all.
