Israeli military carries out incursions in Gaza, following denial of UN visas amid ongoing humanitarian concerns.
After what it claims were targeted raids overnight, Israel’s continuous shelling and airstrikes on the Gaza Strip have dealt another blow to the humanitarian goals of the United Nations.
Article 23 of the Fourth Geneva Convention calls for all warring factions to permit the entry of hospital and medical supplies, as well as items required for religious practices.
In other developments, two resolutions failed at the United Nations following what many had hoped would be decisive talks aimed at ending Israel’s heightened blockade on the region.
Israeli troops enter Gaza
Overnight, Israeli tanks and troops entered the perimeter of the Gaza Strip, claiming it was conducting overnight targeted raids. An IDF spokesperson said:
“Overnight, the IDF conducted a targeted raid using tanks in the northern Gaza Strip, as part of preparations for the next stages of combat,”…“The soldiers exited the area at the end of the activity.”
The army claimed it entered from the north, attacking several Hamas targets before withdrawing. It asserted through IDF radio that this was its most extensive operation to date, despite having dropped thousands of bombs on the Gaza Strip, resulting in more than 5,000 fatalities.
Accusations of fascism
After making controversial decisions, the Netanyahu-led Israeli government faces accusations of resembling a fascist regime. Twitter users are drawing parallels between historical and current events, connecting them to the government’s actions.
The Gaza Strip has been under siege since 2007, with comparisons drawn with the Warsaw Ghetto. Following the invasion by Nazi Germany, the invading regime attempted to isolate and segregate the Jewish community, manufacturing a famine through forced starvation. They also confiscated Jewish property, as is being carried out by the Israeli government through the bulldozing and expansion of its borders through land theft.
