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.
If I was some terrorist dickhead working for Hamas I’d just collate every death which happened from any cause within Gaza and report them as conflict related. Killed by Hamas, killed by Israel, slipped and fell, dead of cancer? Whatever. Just collect all of them.
I don’t know how they’re fudging the numbers, but it would beggar belief that they aren’t. They control the health ministry, they’ve got all the tools they need to inflate the total as much as they want to.
Wow that’s a lot of people dying of natural causes everyday in Gaza.
There’s a lot of people in Gaza, so, yeah
You sound a lot like the covid death toll deniers with that “logic”
Bro the US government is far more credible than Hamas, and anyone who has a legitimate grasp on reality would agree
Then we’d have seen bigger numbers. Gaza has 2.2 million people, and they’re currently starving and drinking brackish water.
