One Israeli military personnel killed by a laser-guided missile (Kornet) fired against an Israeli vehicle outside #Gaza #Palestine today. The Resistance fired 30 rockets immediately afterwards around the same location.

#Israel bombed al-Shujaiya in #Gaza now.

It is clearer that Israel is avoiding declaring war and push troops in Gaza.

The reason: There are fronts in Jerusalem and in all areas where the Arab 1948 live. Israel fears a potential war will open many internal fronts. #Palestine

#Israel PM @netanyahu was aware that #Jerusalem was sitting on a barrel of powder & allowed manifestations and provoked #SheikhJarrah attempt to evict Palestinian families. He wanted to postpone the formation of the government & got what he wanted including a battle between wars.

#Israel was very surprised by the intensity of fire from #Gaza, indicating security and intelligence failure. Israel is trying to recover its deterrence lost in the last days but that was not possible notwithstanding its destruction of civilian buildings and police HQ.

The Final count of #Israel attack on #Gaza to this moment:
40 killed of which 12 children, 3 women and 233 wounded. #Palestine.

#Gaza & the Palestinians have won regardless of the casualties & destructions. In Lod, Palestinians who lived for 72 years under Israeli control never forget their origin and belonging to occupied territory.
Gaza defended #Jerusalem and its rockets & missiles reached over 100 km.

This battle is still ongoing, particularly after the Kornet fired today where one Israeli officer was killed and two severely wounded. #Gaza is expected to be bombed again and #Israel as well. However, it is early to say if a limited ground attack is expected. #Palestine

#BreakingNews:

#Israel intensifies its bombing to #Gaza now.
