Yes it's completely out of control. Israel has gone so far with fear mongering and dehumanization that the IDF shoots everything that moves.

Al Jazeera cameraman death: IDF says it attempted to help get ambulance on site

From CNN's Abeer Salman

The Israel Defense Forces says an ambulance was dispatched to help Al Jazeera journalist Samer Abu Daqqa after he was badly injured during an Israeli attack in southern Gaza Friday, but it “encountered road damage” and couldn’t get to the scene before the cameraman died.

"Once we became aware of an injured individual and received a request to grant permission for an ambulance, COGAT granted permission for the ambulance to use a safe passage,” they said in a statement to CNN in response our reporting.

COGAT is Israel’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories. 

“However, the ambulance chose a different route, which encountered road damage. The IDF promptly responded by sending a bulldozer to assist in repairing the pathway for the ambulance. Unfortunately, by the time these efforts were completed, it was already too late," the statement says.

He died of wounds sustained in the Israeli attack and was forced to wait five hours for medical attention, the Qatar-based news network said in a statement to CNN Friday. 

The IDF said it was unable to provide additional detail when asked by CNN how long it took for the ambulance to be granted permission to travel to the site where Abu Daqqa required emergency medical assistance.

Hundreds gathered in southern Gaza to mourn Abu Daqqa on Saturday as his body was laid to rest.


I wonder how the road got damaged... Just more BS.

Israeli sniper kills mother and daughter in Gaza church: Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem

The Latin Patriarchate of Jerusalem says an Israeli sniper shot dead two Christian women at the Holy Family Parish in Gaza, where the majority of Christian families have taken refuge since October 7.

The Patriarchate identified the women as Nahida Anton and her daughter, Samar Anton, who were walking to the Sister’s Convent when they were shot. “One was killed as she tried to carry the other to safety,” the statement said.

Mitri Raheb, a pastor, said the women’s home was destroyed last month in an Israeli air strike.



No end in sight

Netanyahu vows to continue the war in Gaza as thousands call for immediate return of hostages. Catch up here

From CNN staff

Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu on Saturday told his nation that "we are in a war for our existence." Speaking for the first time since the Israeli military mistakenly shot and killed three Israeli hostages in Gaza, he said the war would go on.

"The war must continue until victory, despite the international pressure and despite the unbearable cost that the war is exacting from us in our fallen sons and daughters," Netanyahu said.

The prime minister also on Saturday appeared to suggest that new negotiations were underway to rescue Israeli hostages still held by Hamas in Gaza. He said the Israeli military's continued use of force in Gaza was necessary to both bring the hostages back and win the war.



It's a war for his existence as PM, he knows when the war is over his career and likely his freedom will be over as well. He was already under criminal investigation before the war started.

Dodged it by becoming PM again, same thing can happen with Trump next election...

Benjamin Netanyahu will make a remarkable comeback as Israel’s prime minister after the results of a general election, and the concession on Thursday of the current leader, Yair Lapid, put his right-wing bloc on a glide path to victory. But looming over his return is the unfinished business of the State of Israel v. Benjamin Netanyahu, a long-delayed felony corruption case.

Mr. Netanyahu, who faces a litany of bribery, fraud and breach of trust charges, has denied all accusations, vociferously attacking those who seek to prosecute him. The trial put Israel into uncharted territory, dominating political life and fueling a debate about the state of Israeli democracy and the country’s legal system.


Another weekend of worldwide protests while the US keeps backing genocide, ethnic cleansing, oppression and apartheid.
