Palestinians return to destroyed Khan Younis after Israeli army withdrawal

Debate over Kurdish graffiti found in war-torn Gaza

A video shared by a Palestinian journalist showing the level of destruction in Khan Younis has triggered a debate among social media users.

As Mohamed Salama walked through a destroyed building, he strolled past graffiti with the words “Free Kurdistan” and a crudely drawn Kurdish flag. On another wall were the words “Vamos Avrina”. The journalist did not comment on the graffiti as he passed it.

While some social media users concluded the graffiti indicated the presence of Kurdish armed elements fighting alongside the Israeli army, a number of other users argued against the idea, pointing out inconsistencies in the scrawled text.

Translation: The flag of Kurdistan appears on the walls of Gaza homes destroyed and looted by the Israeli army! Kurdish PKK militias fighting in the ranks of the Zionist army!

This thread gives the history and nature of the relationship between the Kurds and Israel.



Translation: I think you’ve forgotten how many Kurds live in Israel. Such a childish report, this flag belongs to all Kurds and all of us Kurds pray for the liberation of Afrin from ISIL. You have some shame. You speak of liberating Palestine but we do not have the right to liberate our land. And why would you link this to the PKK? Do you not know the difference between the Kurdistan flag and the party flag? Childish reports, go back to school.


Aid group delivers food to northern Gaza; first time since October

“For the first time since October, and with thanks to your support, our #Gaza team has been able to deliver food parcels to people driven from their homes by the Israeli military in the north,” British charity Medical Aid for Palestinians said in a post on X.

Mahmoud Shalabi, from the charity’s Gaza team, said the packages will be delivered to 14 centres housing displaced people. The deliveries will help sustain midsize families for a week, he added.
