Assassinating Haniya is an empty victory image that reeks of desperation & malevolence.

He was a politician not a militant leader. Israeli media themselves admit his killing will have minimal effect on Hamas' operations.

But it'll dramatically impact internal power dynamics🧵

2\ Haniya lived in the open & NOT in hiding like Sinwar. So reaching his head is NOT an achievement.

Why kill him now?
1- Ruin the ceasefire/prisoner swap negotiations
2- Kill chances of Palestinian unity after Beijing's summit
3- Push Hamas to become more hardline

3\ Haniya was a pragmatist & had a moderating influence on Sinwar & Hamas' military wing.

Khaled Meshal, Haniya likely temporary successor, is a moderate within the movement, but doesn't have as much authority over the militants & Sinwar. He's not a Gazan & not as well-connected to everyone on the ground as Haniya was.

🚨Israeli soldiers severely gang RAPED a Gazan detainee at the Sde Teiman torture camp.

The case was so extreme, the victim had to be hospitalized & the IDF had to detain 10 reservists!

Israeli ministers are now calling the rapists "holy" & "heroes", demanding their release🧵

2\ Israel's Knesset (currently on summer break) is holding an emergency discussion tomorrow to defend the rapist IDF soldiers who were detained for gang raping a Gazan detainee so severely, he had to be hospitalized.

🚨Extremely important testimonies of Israeli soldiers admitting to unspeakable atrocities in Gaza:
Mass graves; tanks crushing Gazans alive; littering the streets with bodies of civilians, women & children for dogs to feast on; & shooting indiscriminately for fun out of boredom🧵

2\ Soldiers admit the IDF is littering the streets of Gaza with decomposing bodies of murdered children, women & civilians, left for dogs & cats to feast on

When humanitarian convoys come in, IDF bulldozers dump the bodies in mass graves under the rubble to hide the scene...

3\ Soldiers admit IDF bulldozers & tanks run over hundreds of Gazans ALIVE & dead. The bodies are crushed & flattened into mush.

Soldiers say the Gaza death toll is an undercount b/c of the high number of Gazans whose bodies the IDF hid under the rubble & buried in mass graves

Folks don't understand the serious brain damage Israel torture at Sde Teiman leaves Palestinians with permanently.

Being blindfolded, handcuffed & muzzled all day long for months under threat of severe torture leads the brain to atrophie & creates serious neurological damage🧵

2\ Sustained stress of enforced isolation & sensory deprivation decreases the size of the hippocampus, the brain region related to learning, memory, & spatial awareness, & "a decrease in the formation of new neurons, & the eventual failure in hippocampal function."
psychologytoday.com/us/blog/brain-…

3\ Studies on mice have shown that one month of social isolation caused a decrease of around 20% of the total volume of neurons, though researchers saw that remaining neurons were branching out more than those mice that were not isolated. When the isolation went on longer — up to three months — researchers saw that the extra branching of the neurons was no longer happening, and that, in exchange, spines (structures that neurons develop to place the machinery that is required to communicate to each other) were greatly diminished. What does this mean? The branching that took place in the first month of isolation may represent some sort of compensatory mechanism that the brain puts in place in order to overcome and prevent the detrimental effects of isolation. However, when isolation went on for “too long," this mechanism seemed to come to an end, and trigger the loss of neuronal communication in the form of spine elimination.

🚨Israel's +972 newspaper reports 6 new cases of IDF soldier RAPING kidnapped Palestinian civilians at the Sde Teiman prison camp & forcing the rest to watch.

The 6th report this year, making these incidents of rape systematic & widespread (i.e. crime against humanity) 🧵

2\ NYTimes reported in June that Israel is RAPING kidnapped Gazans in the Sde Teiman prison camp:

A Gazan died after penetration by an electric stick

A female IDF officer ordered the rape of a senior Gazan nurse

A UN worker forced to sit on a "hot metal stick"

3\ Last April, Haaretz reported multiple rapes:

"They were led to the kitchen, where they were stripped & forced to lie one on top of the other.... They were beaten with clubs & spat on. A guard then started to stuff carrots into the anus of Abu Halil & other prisoners"

Israel's latest lunatic lie to justify the IDF dog that mauled an elderly woman is that Hamas kidnapped the dog in front of IDF soldiers, tamed him, trained him to attack elderly civilians & unleashed him🤡

So, here's a🧵 of the IDF using dogs systematically to maul Gazans:

March 24: Survivors of the Israeli raid on Al-Shifa Hospital & its surrounding area describe field executions, home burnings, civilians being run over by tanks, & IDF dogs mauling both the living & the dead:

March 2024: A woman who survived the Israeli raid on around al-Shifa Hospital says the IDF forces attacked homes with dogs & killed the men, including her husband's uncle & brother.

She describes bodies laying in the streets, homes burned, & being forced to flee southward.
