🧵It has been six months since the darkest moment in Jewish history since the Holocaust: the October 7 Massacre. Six months on, here are the key @IDF figures: Israel's military response:

🫡 Israel called up 300,000 reservists (3.1% of the population) to fight Hamas.

🕯️600 soldiers killed since 10/7, including 256 since the start of the ground operation (Oct. 27)

❤️‍🩹 3,188 soldiers injured (497 severely, 849 moderately)

The @IDF's initial review of the tragic killing of @WCKitchen aid workers finds it was a "grave mistake" based on a misidentification. Sometimes militaries make terrible mistakes based on misidentifications, like the US drone strike in Kabul that killed an aid worker in 2021.⬇️ In the final stretch of the Afghanistan War, on 29 August, 2021, the US military launched a drone strike in Kabul, thinking it was preventing an imminent threat to US forces. The Chairman of the Joint Chiefs, Gen. Mark Milley, praised the strike as "righteous".

This is how lies, damned lies, and statistics feed cooked-up allegations of "starvation".

🔨Let's dive into a #demolitionjob of this manipulative @washingtonpost analysis, which wants you to think Gazans were eating cement before the war.
washingtonpost.com/world/interact… 1. The report starts by pointing out a "Gaza aid deficit". That's not true, because because 68% of the trucks entering Gaza before the war weren't even carrying food. It was 50% construction supplies, and we know what Hamas did with that. UN data: ochaopt.org/data/crossings

Holocaust survivor Aharon Barak was the only survivor of an actual genocide on the ICJ bench today.

Take time today to read the separate opinion.

#NeverAgainIsNow

icj-cij.org/sites/default/… ▪️ South Africa came to the Court seeking the immediate suspension of the military operations in the Gaza Strip. It wrongly sought to impute the crime of Cain to Abel. The Court rejected South Africa’s main contention.

This is fake news, and there's so much that's wrong with this report, that we're going to need a thread to do a proper #factcheck 🧵 1. The article begins with a statement about backed-up trucks, but those trucks are backed up AFTER Israeli inspection. The @UN is failing to distribute aid at the pace Israel is processing it. The backlog actually points to Israeli efficiency, as opposed to UN incompetency.

❌ This in @nytimes is simply false and easily fact-checked. Israel places ZERO restrictions on water, food, and medicine entering Gaza. On the contrary, we have repeatedly told the UN it’s welcome to send more. It’s so fake I don’t even understand where it’s coming from. In fact, here are obstacles to aid delivery in Gaza per @WFP. None of those are “Israel cutting off water, fuel and medicine”. The UN is simply failing to distribute aid at the pace Israel is inspecting it, and it’s covering up its failure by projecting onto Israel. Enough.

UPDATE: The IDF has completed an extensive operation to dismantle Hamas' northern underground headquarters in Gaza, revealing underground infrastructure where IDF soldiers discovered hostages’ bodies In fierce battles to secure the Hamas stronghold of Jabalia, the IDF exposed a strategic tunnel network that served as Hamas' northern headquarters in Gaza. The first level was 10m deep under the city, the second dozens of meters deep.

⚠️ EXPOSED⚠️

This is how Hamas and PIJ launch attacks against Israel disguised as civilians.

It is a war crime—part of a deliberate strategy of human shields.

The world must demand Gaza terrorists stop dressing up as civilians and putting real civilians in harm's way. This evidence of Hamas' war crimes comes from its own propaganda.

Just like with the October 7 Massacre, Hamas proudly documents its own war crimes!

Hamas terrorists have as much disdain for international law as for human life and decency.

Last night, an Islamic Jihad rocket fired from a cemetery behind a hospital in Gaza misfired—and hit the Al Ahli Hospital, killing innocent Palestinian civilians.

Want the evidence? Buckle up for a thread.

Run it by an OSINT expert if you don't believe me.⬇️ 1. @AlJazeera broadcast the Islamic Jihad misfire LIVE. 18:59, rocket misfires and explodes. You see the shrapnel falling, then immediately an explosion at the hospital. That's a slam dunk in itself.

On my way to the funeral of a young Brazilian woman murdered at the music festival. A message went out urging strangers to attend, because she has barely any family here. There’s a 2km line snaking out of the entrance of the cemetery and I doubt we’ll make it. The funeral was scheduled for 20min ago. We thought we were early. Still 1.4km just to reach the entrance of the cemetery. Israelis are amazing at responding to calls to attend funerals. Such strong social solidarity here in the absolute darkest of circumstances.
