Gazan accounts are reporting an attack from an IDF plane on Thailandy Restaurant in the heart of Gaza City, allegedly killing 25. I'm no expert, but the footage seems strange.
Although the restaurant is no more than a tent, it was hardly damaged. The roof is intact, so are the plastic chairs. Computers and TV screens appear to be undamaged. Even the tablecloths were not torn. Surely it all would have been completely destroyed.
Bodies shown also appear intact with little blood.
2/ This footage is most interesting. Here we see the laptops, TV screens and rablecloths all intact, even paper notes attached to the laptops didn't fly away. And watch at 00:45 how one of the injured men taps the dead or injured man he is lying on. Very strange.
I've put this behind protection not because I think it needs it, but because someone at X might.
3/ Another point is that this is the "family" section of the restaurant, but the people injured appear to be mainly men and a few children. It should be mainly women. And there is no broken glass or plates on the tables or on the floor. Thailandy is functioning mainly as a coffee shop these days, serving drinks, desserts and milkshakes, but none of that can be seen.
Just before he deleted it, I managed to capture a TikTok video of Sa'eed Al-Najjar, in which he invites us to Soul, a new restaurant café in Khan Younes, South Gaza Strip, opening tomorrow May 7 2025. He says the place will serve all types of pizzas, all types of Western desserts, and hot and cold beverages. English subtitles.

Hamas affiliated terror "journalist" Hasan Eslaiah, gleeful participant in Oct 7 massacre, was reportedly badly wounded during the night, in an attack on a tent of "journalists" at Nasser Hospital, Khan Younes, South Gaza Strip.
According to a Gazan source, 2 were killed and 9 were injured.
Another "journalist" reportedly injured was Mohammed Fayq, who during the war has mainly been fundraising online for a soup kitchen. (Charities in Gaza are notoriously corrupt, pocketing large percentages of donations as a matter of course)
1/ An important explanation about clean water in Gaza: Gaza DOES NOT rely on the large desalination plants for clean water. For years Gazans have bought clean water from small private desalination companies. Please read a thread of mine from 2018 on this subject 👇
3/ It really is disheartening that Israel is STILL so ignorant of the facts of life in Gaza, that it thinks it can just turn off water and electricity in Gaza.
