I spoke with Tamer Abo Misbh, head of the maintenance team at the water services in Deir al-Balah. He informed me about the severe water crisis in the town, which currently a shelter to over a 1 M residents. This situation has exacerbated by the new Israeli evacuation orders ->

The Israeli evacuation orders affected areas of Deir al-Balah where the city's main water wells are located—9 in total, with seven for human use and two for drinking water. These wells are critical for supplying water to the entire city. Tamer mentioned another water facility ->

In the SW, there's another facility that provides water to people in Mawasi & W Deir al-Balah, which hasn't been impacted by evacuation orders.

Tamer explains that residents, who used to receive water every 3-5 days during the war, will now have to wait 9-13 days for access

What’s needed now with the Israeli assassination of former PM Ismael Haniyah:

Abbas must travel to Cairo to meet with Mishal immediately & announce reformation of PLO. Egypt and Jordan will oversee the talks, while Saudi Arabia and the Arab League will endorse the new council ->

The new PLO national council will serve as the framework for any political moves that represents the will and decision of the Palestinian people. All parties will join including Dahlan and his movement.

The council will be temporarily until elections in Palestine will be held ->

Elections should be held after some time to give Gaza time to recover, given the annihilation caused by Israel.

The country has a diverse political spectrum. We need a unified decision-making framework to address this situation effectively

We are being annihilated as we speak

On a post from 9th may he calls to wipe out Rafah and clear into the sea

“Rafah can be dealt with even without American weaponry. Rows of D9 bulldozers will clear the city into the sea. By the way, the effect will be more significant than another bomb.”

In another post from 6th may he writes:

“For it to be effective and change the situation, 𝐑𝐀𝐅𝐀𝐇 𝐍𝐄𝐄𝐃𝐒 𝐓𝐎 𝐁𝐄 𝐓𝐔𝐑𝐍𝐄𝐃 𝐈𝐍𝐓𝐎 𝐃𝐑𝐄𝐒𝐃𝐄𝐍. 𝐖𝐄 𝐂𝐀𝐍𝐍𝐎𝐓 𝐀𝐂𝐂𝐄𝐏𝐓 𝐀𝐍𝐘𝐓𝐇𝐈𝐍𝐆 𝐋𝐄𝐒𝐒.”

🧵Israeli officer testimony from Gaza |

Name: Ari Kaniel
Rank: Officer in Givati’s special operations unit
Areas of operations: Rafah (currently) & Khan Yunis

“Reg Gaza, be encouraged. Gaza is being torn apart systematically & methodically, eliminating everything that moves” ->

FULL POST on 19 April

**"Is it laid out before all the information available to the decision-makers? If it had been laid out before me, would I have made a different decision?**

A bit of security/political interpretation to hopefully clarify the situation:

There are hierarchies of priorities in the different theaters we are fighting in.

Currently, Gaza is defined as the main theater due to the hostages and the primary goal of the war—destroying Hamas and all its branches. Hezbollah is ranked second, though still significant, due to its proximity to the border. Iran is in third place.

True, Iran has launched hundreds of missiles at us, and thanks to recent defense alliances and the Air Force, no significant damage has been caused (one Hercules aircraft and a construction site), and yes, we all want revenge against the Iranians, but bombing their 'parents' now means making the third priority theater the main one and effectively abandoning the primary goals of the war.

The military has been conducting a strong defense and 'strategic strikes' in the northern front for half a year now. They are not devastating Hezbollah or bombing the Dahiyeh neighborhood just to keep Hezbollah in second place, ensuring that the primary theater receives all the attention.

Regarding Gaza, be encouraged. Gaza is being dismantled systematically and methodically, eliminating everything that moves and turning over every stone in an attempt to locate the hostages and the terrorists.

Why haven’t we entered Rafah yet? From an international political standpoint, the number of refugees there does not allow us to attack without facing significant global backlash. We must give them some time to move north, while we maintain strict supervision, and clear the southern area. If a single missile accidentally hits a group of refugees, we won’t be able to withstand international pressure and will be forced to halt the war before achieving the goals.

From a security perspective, I prefer not to elaborate further, but rest assured, we will enter Rafah. Not much longer, and not with a small force.

Regarding the demonstrations for the immediate return of the hostages, what you are essentially asking for is for us to agree to Hamas's demands, cease the fighting, and effectively declare defeat. This weakens the state, strengthens Hamas's demands, and harms the chances of success for the forces on the ground.

We all want to bring the hostages home and are doing everything possible to make that happen. But, and this is a very important but—if we release terrorists in exchange for the hostages, we will face October 7th once again. And again.

It is difficult, undoubtedly, but we must understand—the main goal of the war is to dismantle Hamas and take full control of the Gaza Strip to prevent the recurrence of October 7th. The second most important goal is the return of the hostages. And by the way, regarding the fantasy of seeing 130 hostages return together to their families one day, I am sorry to disappoint. Hamas, in the last negotiation, declared that it could not find 40 hostages alive to meet Israel's minimum demand.

If any of you lack motivation to continue this war to the end, I recommend watching a one-minute video of October 7th once a week.

I love you all from the bottom of my heart, and wish for a swift and decisive victory over all our enemies."

Another testimony on 27 June (weeks ago)

• “We continued to demolish Rafah in a ridiculously high level that Hollywood disaster movies are no longer pleasant to watch. They are very far from reality despite all the technology in Los Angeles.”

🧵 Have you heard about the immigrant from New Jersey, US, who came to Israel a few years ago and is now blowing up mosques in Gaza and shooting indiscriminately at civilian houses in the strip?

His name is Bram Setterbrino ->
