Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.

“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.

Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.

But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.

The more accurate description is "Israel's war against Palestine". And, given the power difference and stated goals: "Israel's ongoing genocide of Palestine".

And if you think that it sounds a bit too disturbing, just try to imagine a pile of 4000 children. It might ruin your day.

I'm glad Lemmy doesn't censor the amount of upvotes and downvotes.

It's good to see how many people here support/oppose certain ideas.

Kind of a breath of fresh air after being on that other hellhole for so long.

Except on the instances that turn off downvotes so someone can post absolutely heinous shit and get no pushback.

Sorry, can't use the G word apparently because there are almost 1 million Palestinians and Israel hasn't tried to kill all of them. According to the big brains out there you can't call out an attempt at genocide unless it's full force, plain as day to see, and maximum death count.

...Sigh.

Genocide only occurs in Europe during WWII. If it's not WWII Europe, it's not genocide /s
