📝32nd day of war, Gaza ground status:

Very slow advances overall with some retreats in the northern area.

• In the north, IOF started an intense advancement towards Al-Shati, but got ambushed & trapped by the resistance receiving heavy blows.

• Ongoing clashes west of Beit Lahia, no advancements

• South of Gaza City, ongoing clashes in the Tal al-Hawa area. The IOF claims to have secured the coastline, but it’s merely a confrontation zone, not secured.

• No advancements in Beit Hanoun
The israeli regime tries to secure the coastline but has been unsuccessful in doing so. It’s important to note that these areas are shelled both by air & sea while ground troops try to advance.

• Approximately 113 israeli tanks, APCs and bulldozers have been damaged/destroyed

President of South Africa's EFF party, Julius Malema: “The International Criminal Court must issue a warrant of arrest against Netanyahu.”

Members of the US Congress from both parties line up on the steps of the House of Representatives to hold a memorial service for 1,400 dead Israelis, said to be civilians killed by Hamas.

It is noteworthy that members of Congress have not uttered a single word about over 11,000 Palestinian civilians killed by Israel over the last month.

Deputy Prime Minister of Belgium, Minister of Civil Service and Public Enterprises, Petra De Sutter, has called for sanctions against Israel due to the situation in the Gaza Strip.

In particular, the politician proposed breaking the European Union's association agreement with Israel, as well as introducing an embargo on the import of products from Palestinian territories controlled by Israel.

De Sutter also called for an investigation into the IOF's bombing of civilians in Gaza and a ban on the entry of Israeli politicians and government officials suspected of war crimes

Wes Streeting, Labour Shadow Health Secretary, refuses to say Israel is breaking International Law despite the fact that most Human Rights organisations are saying Israel is breaking International law.

Watching the videos released by the various resistance factions, it becomes clear just how tightly coordinated and organized they are.

While Qassam fighters act as infantry on the ground, the other groups provide them with crucial artillery
support, as shown here.

According to the Al-Quds Brigades (PIJ armed wing), the footage above shows their fighters striking advancing IOF units with artillery on multiple fronts across the Gaza Strip, specifically the southern front, northwestern front & the northern front.

Roles can of course always shift, but Al-Qassam does maintain a capable elite fighting force known as the "Nukhba", trained specifically for the type of urban warfare we're seeing in places like Beit Hanoun and Mokhayam Al-Shati.

Being an artillery gunner in Gaza is a daring task - IOF drones hover above Gaza 24/7, every hour and every minute. The gunners have only limited time to provide artillery for infantry units before having to retreat, as their positions will be exposed.

Providing artillery fire is also the current role employed by the Martyr Abu Ali Mustafa Brigades of the PFLP. Secular Left-Wing group.

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad is often viewed in the west as an "extremist" group, mostly a misunderstanding based on their oh-so "scary" name.

Last Monday I was speaking to a Palestinian with considerable knowledge on the Palestinian resistance factions, and he told me something very interesting about the PIJ.

The PIJ is a fighting organization, not a political organization in the traditional sense. Unlike Hamas, Fatah or even the PFLP, the PIJ do not have any set-in-stone vision for a future Palestinian state.

The PIJ does not envision political leadership in a liberated Palestine. Their political program makes it abundantly clear that they will leave political decision-making be up to the Palestinian people to decide.

Their refusal to engage in bureaucratic politics also makes them the only resistance group none of their other groups dare to criticize. By solely focusing on the armed struggle, the PIJ would never be involved in murky corruption scandals like other groups have been in the past.

The PIJ is a moderately religious organization, and perhaps one could argue even more moderate than Hamas. Their political program calls for the total unification of the Islamic nation between both Sunnis and Shias, and envisions the fostering of a democratic culture in which all internal disputes can be resolved in a respectful and grounded manner without the interference of foreign powers.

Palestinian hunger striker Khader Adnan who passed away in May this year due to starvation from his hunger strike, was affiliated with the PIJ, and served as their spokesman in the early 2000s. He was a respected figure by all Palestinians across the political spectrum, and would often be seen mingling with student groups from all factions. Khader Adnan was, in many ways, the physical embodiment of the political catch-all nature of the PIJ.

Please stop launching fundraising campaigns. We don’t need money.

Money in #Gaza is useless while there is nothing to buy from the markets.

We need your governments to pressure Israel to immediately stop its war crimes & crimes against humanity.

And a few other key points that are also important to highlight:

The PIJ holds Palestinian Christians to exceptionally high esteem, and sees them as a crucial component to not just the Palestinian national identity, but to the struggle as well. They consider Palestine's Christian community to have exerted, and I quote, "a noteworthy and discernible influence on the trajectory of the Palestinian struggle."

On the question regarding the PIJ's stance towards Jews and Judaism, consider this translated excerpt from their political program:

But Hamas are savages who raped Zionist girls .... no evidence 🤷‍♂

Remember Zionists using this child as a human shield?
