Buried alive
The director of the besieged and under-fire Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza said his hospital has received phone calls from civilians trapped alive under buildings destroyed by Israeli strikes, but there was no way to rescue them.
“Sadly, the next day, their voices were gone, and they were counted among the dead, with their homes becoming their graves.”
“This scene is repeated daily.”
Israel this morning bulldozed the last remaining building in the Umm Al-Hiran Bedouin village of the Negev (Naqab) desert, a mosque, to make way for the construction of Jewish-only settlements.

A bit of black humour from my favourite satire site
“I don’t understand what went wrong!” sighed the facility’s chief scientist. “I added a flawed constitution, an electoral system designed by slave owners, a biased and corrupt supreme court, and centuries of frothing racism, violent sexism, and misguided exceptionalism.

“Dahiyeh Doctrine”
The doctrine, which takes its name from the Hezbollah stronghold in Beirut and entails the large-scale destruction of civilian infrastructure to pressure a hostile government or armed group, was devised in the context of Israel’s 2006 war on #Lebanon
Israeli jets dropped more than 80, 2000-pound “bunker-busting” bombs that have a destruction radius of 35 metres (115 feet) on their target. The strike that killed Nasrallah also flattened six residential buildings

The doctrine, for example, was clearly in play during Israel’s “Operation Cast Lead” in 2008 that killed 1,400 Palestinians, including 300 children, in Gaza. The Goldstone report from the UN’s post-war fact-finding mission found that Israeli soldiers “deliberately subjected civilians, including women and children, to cruel, inhuman and degrading treatment… in order to terrorize, intimidate and humiliate them”.

It also detailed that the Israeli forces systematically destroyed Gaza’s civilian infrastructure, including flour mills, farms, wastewater treatment plants, water installations and residential buildings.
