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.

      You realise Hamas is like 30 years old and started as a charity backed by Israel? They then seized power after killing their rivals.

      Should we murder Innocent chinese people because of the communist party? Wipe them off the earth, demolish their cities and Culture?

          “As a libertarian” is not the way to start an opinion if you want to be taken seriously.

              If we had a forced and honest age & intellect number by each username, the numbers you’d most commonly see are 13-23 and 80-110.

              Don’t worry, you’re talking with teenagers and college freshmen that know everything on every topic. They can’t name 3 aspects of an ideology they claim to represent but that’s besides the point. ChatGPT will hallocunate it for them so we can get even more chuckles.

          well, considering you are a libertarian, you don’t have a good track record of understanding reality

              look, I can’t help that it’s an economic ideology based mainly on a few works of fiction that involve “the parasites are the only thing preventing the Übermensch of creating a pepetomobile”

                  libertarianism is mostly based on economic objectivism.

                  It’s like socialists and socioeconomics.

                  the primary difference being one based on a dialectic analysis of how economics function, leading to what we consider modern economic theory, and the other based on the fantasies of a deeply traumatized woman.
