🇵🇸 Testimonies from Gaza : This is what 24 hours of our lives in Gaza look like | Close Up

Al Jazeera’s digital documentary series, Close Up, reached out to Palestinians in Gaza in November and asked them to record whatever they could over the course of a day, on any devices that still worked. Because who better to tell the stories of life in Gaza than the people themselves who are living there through the horror of siege and war?

This compilation of people’s moments provides a snapshot of just one of these 70 days of war, where even the most mundane of tasks, like showering, doing laundry, and preparing meals, has become impossibly hard. Where fear is constant and palpable, that at any moment death could strike from above, as Israel relentlessly bombs the entire length of the besieged strip from morning to night.

The result is a story of resilience and courage.

🇵🇸 Al Jazeera cameraman killed: Medics were prevented from reaching Samer Abu Daqqa

An Israeli air strike has killed Al Jazeera cameraman Samer Abu Daqqa and injured the network's Gaza Bureau Chief Wael al Dahdouh. The two veteran journalists were reporting on an attack by Israeli forces at a #UN-run #school in Khan Younis. Continuous heavy shelling by the Israeli military prevented paramedics from reaching Samer.

He was later found dead, after bleeding for hours from his wounds.

🇵🇸 Nearly Half of All Israeli Munitions Dropped on Gaza are Imprecise 'Dumb' Bombs

Nearly half of the air-to-ground munitions Israel has dropped on the Gaza Strip are unguided or “dumb” bombs, CNN reported Thursday, citing a US intelligence assessment.

The report said Israel had used 29,000 air-to-ground munitions in its bombardment of Gaza, a total that does not include artillery shells and tank munitions that are also being fired on the Strip. The assessment from the Office of the Director of National Intelligence found 40-45% of the 29,000 munitions have been dumb bombs, and the rest have been precise guided munitions.

#UnguidedMunitions are less precise and are generally considered more of a threat to civilians, but Israel is also slaughtering civilians with precision-guided #munitions. A report from +972 Magazine revealed Israel is purposefully targeting civilian areas and launching strikes that might kill one Hamas commander, knowing hundreds of civilians will be killed.

🇵🇸 Psychological warfare': Israeli troops go on looting and vandalism spree across Gaza | Middle East Eye –

There is a long history of Israeli soldiers vandalising the homes of Palestinians they invade,” Laleh Khalili, an academic and researcher at the University of Exeter, told MEE.

“During the Nakba and successive wars of conquest in the historic lands of Palestine, in Lebanon in the early 1980s, and the Occupied Palestinian Territories during successive invasions, such behaviour has been rife,” she added.

“Israeli soldiers have left graffiti - often using quite violent, even genocidal, language; defecated in kitchens; looted valuable personal items; destroyed everyday objects and belongings; and taken trophy photographs of themselves.”

🇵🇸 Palestinian says soldiers sent him into Hamas tunnel strapped with bombs | Middle East Eye –

In a distressing testimony, one of Gaza's innocent detainees recounts being forced to wear an explosive vest and enter a tunnel, serving as a human shield for the Israeli army in Gaza.

"He forced me to wear the vest, which was equipped with IEDs and a GoPro camera, and secured a rope around my waist, guiding me down into the tunnel."

Hakim, who prefers to remain anonymous, further disclosed, "They didn't hesitate to send me down the tunnel. A 15-year-old boy was also forced into the same situation, and the boy who was detained with me survived and was released days later."

🇵🇸 Israeli sniper kills "everyone who moves" in Gaza hospital | The Electronic Intifada –

Israeli forces are continuing to bomb, besiege and destroy hospitals in Gaza, waging what a UN health official called an “unrelenting war” on the health system across the coastal enclave.

Doctors are warning that without an immediate end to Israel’s bombing, and proper shelter, sanitation, medicine, food and water, the healthcare system is coming to a cataclysmic collapse.

The Palestinian health ministry in Gaza also reported, on Wednesday, that children’s vaccines have completely run out, which will cause “catastrophic health repercussions on children’s health and the spread of diseases, especially among the displaced in overcrowded shelter centers.”
