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.

I won't deny existence of rapes in war but here, this is a lightning strike attack and according to the amount of casualties (maybe inflated, knowing Israel), I don't see how hamas doing that would have time to rape anyone, capture and transport hostages without getting attacked by army or police which is everywhere.

Bro you are going it off of your way to call Israel numbers inflated while at the same time trusting Hamas numbers lol. Also going out of your way to justify terrorists taking and murdering people as if those weren't bad enough haha

if they lied on the beheaded babies, you know... I don't have to trust Hamas, I don't even know where I would listen to them. Regarding Israel, it's pretty obvious they are freewheeling and they are saturating mainstream media with BS without real challenge.

anyway...
