US turning their complicity into offers to limit Rafah attack... Who are they fooling.

Report: US offers intel on Hamas leaders in exchange for ‘limited’ Rafah attack

The US is offering Israel’s military “sensitive intelligence” to target Hamas officials in Gaza in exchange for not launching a full-scale assault on overcrowded Rafah city, a news report says.

The Washington Post, citing four people familiar with the situation, reports other incentives not to launch a major operation in Rafah include information on the location of Hamas’s vast network of tunnels.

Also offered up by Washington are thousands of tents to house some of the nearly two million displaced people throughout the war-battered Gaza Strip, according to the sources who spoke to the newspaper anonymously.

The Biden administration has been widely criticized for arming and failing to put a stop to Israel’s seven-month war, which has killed nearly 35,000 people, mostly children and women.

In other words: US gives the OK for ongoing Rafah operation with a bunch of tents as compensation.



Israeli military claims establishing field hospital amid invasion of Rafah, aid cutoff

The Israeli military says it has built a new field hospital in Deir al-Balah in central Gaza for people who are being forcibly displaced from eastern Rafah due to the Israeli ground invasion.

This is while the Israeli military has cut off almost all aid to the besieged enclave since attacking Rafah earlier this week, defying international warnings about the dire humanitarian situation for the 2.3 milion Palestinians in Gaza.



Doesn't look like it's in use, nice paved paths though.


Hamas calls for probe into Israeli mistreatment of Palestinian detainees

Hamas official Abdelrahman Shadid urged international legal and humanitarian organisations to investigate Israeli military mistreatment of Palestinian detainees in their prisons.

Shadid called the crimes against prisoners, which have included the death of at least 17 Palestinians, “unprecedented”.

“We call for an investigation that would expose the Israeli crimes against unarmed prisoners and for international pressure to be exercised on Israel to allow lawyers and humanitarian groups access to prisons and detention centres,” Shadid said in a statement.
