With Gaza under a total communications outage, it is difficult to confirm the Israeli army’s announcement.

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.

    • Those numbers are what has been used by most countries before this genocide started, including Israel and the US (and still do)
    • Something like 40% of buildings have been destroyed in Gaza since last week (it’s certainly more now)
    • Hamas is the governing body, everything is technically under Hamas. That’s like me saying “I don’t trust the CDC or HHS because I don’t trust an imperialist terrorist United States”.
    • It’s not hard to find all kinds of footage of blown up children and buildings, use your fucking eyes if the other bits of logic are too difficult for you.

      What genocide?

      Something like 40% of buildings have been destroyed in Gaza since last week

      Wars are terrible. I think this is why Israel recommended an evacuation.

      Hamas is the governing body, everything is technically under Hamas.

      Exactly the problem.

        Ah, I figured it out.

        Malicious, stupid, and zero empathy reserved exclusively for Israelis. Keep Yourself Safe.
