I am a journalist & condemn any attack on journalists & their offices. In 1982, #Israel bombed our (& many other foreign agencies/newspapers) offices in #Beirut during the invasion w/o warning. However, the (@AP) office is not more important than:👇
The outrage should be against the lack of #Israel/i respect for innocent lives in #Gaza in the first place. The world's 'storm' against Israel bombing @AP and @AlJazeera is greater than the one against Israel's killing.
The 907KG #US_Made GBU-31 Israel used to bring down Al-Jalaa tower where @AP & @AJEnglish offices via @muhammadshehad2.
There is no equilibrium between the Palestinian and the Israeli military power but #Gaza will for the 1st time win its deterrence and is defending #Jerusalem.
The disproportionate military power between #Israel & Palestinian resistance is unquestionable. #Hamas & the Islamic Jihad's aim is not to register the highest number of Israeli killed. It is to tell #Israel: feel some of our pain & grievance. We are bombed & you are in shelters.
#Israel almighty military power managed to intercept most of the rockets but many Israeli commanders and Israel's Prime Minister ran to nearby shelters.
#Jerusalem#TelAviv and other cities were insecure. Israeli can't have a normal life while #Gaza is bombed. This is over.
I give you an example:
The 2006 #Israel war on #Lebanon have killed between 1,191 and 1,300 Lebanese people, and 165 Israelis. Hence, #Hezbollah imposed deterrence on #Israel in the last 15 years.
This is what I mean: the number of casualties is not the issue for #Gaza.
#Gaza doesn't have an airport; #Israel's airports r closed.
Gaza has a shortage of electricity & fuel; Israel's gas line has been suspended.
People in Gaza move cautiously; Israel's busses & transport r suspended.
Gaza lives with little & Israel is experiencing this feeling now.

160 #Israel/I jets bombed hundreds of objectives in #Gaza last night, mainly civilians. 119 Palestinians are killed (many under the destroyed buildings still) by the Israeli bombing of which 27 of them are children and 11 women. Over 500 wounded. #Palestine#IsraelCrimes
#Israel is bombing a surrounded small densely populated city, #Gaza, that is defending the people of #Palestine against the Israeli apartheid entity. Shortage of medicine, fuel and all necessities are not preventing the Palestinians from defending themselves against #IsraelCrimes
This Palestinian generation will remember you #Israel and won't forget your crimes. Continue killing and destroying homes so the memory of the children will always be imprinted in their mind and will grow-up and pass on to their children your genocidal acts against #Palestine.
When #Gaza is introducing the new Ay'yash missile with 250 km range, it is the same Fateh 110 missile with high precision and can carry over 400 kg of explosive: a game changer by all means. #Palestine
#Gaza said it has targeted Ramon airport and (un) surprisingly, the Iron Dome failed to intercept a missile that can reach Eilat. This is a message to #Israel that no place is safe and that Gaza is ready for a gradual escalation. Obviously Israel intel & interception have failed.
This is why #Gaza said thank you to #Iran who shared the experience and technology with the Palestinians so they can defend themselves against the "strongest Air Force in the Middle East" bombing civilian infrastructure and homes".
The number of victims is high, expected to increase before this battle stops. #Israel would want to improve its position be4 the cessation of hostilities' negotiation. The destruction is significant in #Gaza
#Israel showed its vulnerable domestic front, its lack of unity, the control of extremists to many streets and the participation of the 1948 Arabs (the most important) in support of #Gaza.
Gaza took the lead and brought unity among the Palestinians. Gaza is defending #Jerusalem.
Because of this battle, Palestinians understand today that Resistance is the only way forward. This battle on #Gaza put the last nails in #Oslo and Camp David agreements.
This battle gave #Iran a solid position in the Middle East and confirmed it a regional power.
A New count of victims in #Gaza#Palestine caused by #Israel indiscriminate bombing mainly to heavily populated areas:
48 killed of which 14 children and 3 women and 303 wounded.
#Israel regained its bombing (six raids) of civilian targets in #Gaza destroying commercial area in the northwest of the city and destroying a car in Khan Younis with passengers.
The new count of Palestinians killed by #Israel is 55 of which 14 children and 4 women.
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.
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 continues its aggression on #Gaza and Khan Younis carrying out over 60 attacks. The Resistance fired back and attacked Tel Aviv and targeted one of the biggest Israeli military bases.
The intensity of the Israeli attacks is unprecedented in the history of the struggle btwn the Palestinians & #Israel tt destroyed official blgs, institutions & police posts. More than 43% of the Palestinian victims r children & women: 35 killed of which 12 children and 3 women.
#Israel is targetting civilian residential buildings & police HQ, damaging dozens of civilian blgs: the aim of #Israel is to terrorise civilians for its lack of military targets in its bank of objectives. That is a show of force against unarmed civilians violating Intrntnl laws.
