Israel claims to have killed Faiq Al-Mabhouh, Director of the Central Operational Authority for Gaza’s Interior Ministry during the attack on Al-Shifa Hospital.

Has been said to no end, but being employed by Hamas still renders a person a civilian, as Hamas governs Gaza.

🧵

1/ Image
Al-Mabhouh held the rank of Brigadier-General, overseeing the police for Gaza, coordinating aid and directing protection for Gazans during aid deliveries (following Flour Massacres).

Israel’s continued targeting of police officers seeks to create a security vacuum, however.

2/ Image
The IDF/Shin Bet released a statement stating Al-Mabhouh was “working to advance terror activity”, which is purposely vague, despite Al-Mabhouh’s role in a civilian capacity.

A playbook well worn-out by the IDF/Shin Bet.

3/
A few days ago Al-Mabhouh “met with representatives of UNRWA, a number of international institutions, and international guarantees were agreed upon to secure the entry of aid. After the meeting, his location was determined and leaked to the IDF”.

4/
The IDF alluded to Al-Mabhouh’s ‘synchronisation’ of Hamas units in Gaza; meaning police for keeping the law.

But having targeted Al-Mabhouh, alongside many other police officers, it clear that lawlessness in the north is likely a stated target for Israel.

Hamas has released in full its response to the Paris Framework Agreement drafted by Qatar et al for a ceasefire.

They likely done so to circumvent the ensuing misinformation that will circulate in the media, as Israel is likely to reject it, and to generate public convo.

🧵
The Response outlines a roadmap to a full ceasefire that would take place over 135 days in three phases, each stage lasting 45 days.

The text of the document is copied verbatim below.

The guarantors of the Agreement are:
- Egypt
- Qatar
- Turkey
- Russia
- The United Nations
1️⃣ Phase 1: 45 Days

This humanitarian Phase aims to:

- Release all Israeli women and children (under the age of 19, non-recruits), the elderly and sick, in exchange for a specific number of Palestinian prisoners.

This is the Telegram channel the IDF had been using for the psyop. Had been monitoring it throughout until it stopped posted in December, shortly after it had first been exposed (and yes, the channel is referenced by South Africa in its ICJ submission).

🧵: Some of the content

Video the IDF soldiers who desecrated a mosque in Jenin, while singing Hanukkah songs over the mosque speakers.

The IDF went on to suspend several of the perpetrators, but shared the content on their psyop channel anyway. Image

Israel’s Duvdevan Unit led an assault on Ibn Sina Hospital in Jenin today, killing three Palestinians.

Israeli commentators have defended the action saying they belonged to militant groups.

This doesn’t preclude Israel committing a list of war crimes from start to end.

🧵

1/
First, housekeeping:

IDF/Shin Bet say these Palestinians were planning an attack.

Validating the claim is near impossible, especially given credibility of both IDF and Shin Bet.

In any event, all three enjoyed protected person civilian status at the time of their killing.

2/ Image
• Hospital: War Crime One

Israel’s attack wasn’t only distinct disrespect of the hospital’s sanctity, but brazen disregard for very restrictive prohibitions: not being the object of attack.

One Palestinian was even being treated, thus Ibn Sina hadn’t lost protected status.

A thread of global reactions to ICJ provisional measures ruling in South Africa v Israel as they come.

🧵

First the EU🇪🇺: “Orders of the International Court of Justice are binding on the Parties. The European Union expects their full, immediate and effective implementation.” Image
Turkey’s 🇹🇷 Erdogan welcomes the decision to issue provisional measures.
Spain 🇪🇸 welcomes the judgement from the ICJ today ordering provisional measures, and “calls on all parties to respect and comply with these measures in their entirety”.

Huge.

21 IDF soldiers were killed after houses they lined w/ mines collapsed following fire from Hamas.

Why were they lining houses with mines?

I’ve seen analysts speak of discipline and clearing mistakes today, but the IDF committing a war crime is the more pressing issue.

🧵

1/
The IDF says the buildings were to be destroyed for creating a buffer zone so residents of Kibbutz Kissufim could return.

Ten residential houses in Maghazi area were reportedly marked for destruction.

The law on this is quite clear and unambiguous.

The Rome Statute which comprises the crimes that the ICC tries says:

Extensive destruction of property *not justified* by military necessity is prohibited.

The IDF said they’ve killed 9,000 Hamas fighters.

U.S. intelligence estimates the IDF have killed between 20%/30% of Hamas fighters (25,000 lower end/30,000 upper end) = anywhere between 5,000 and 9,000 Hamas fighters killed.

WSJ says this falls short of Israel’s goals.

🧵

1/
EuroMed, who works with a team of independent monitors and recorders on the ground, places non-civilian (i.e. fighter) deaths, as of 19th January, at just over 2,600, which is some degree lower than the US estimate, but still within a lower range than that of the IDF.

2/
The same intelligence report found that Hamas’ capabilities are still in place, set to last for a number of months.

The assessment also confirms earlier reports that Hamas is reestablishing its hold on northern Gaza through civilian postings:
