Israel pounds Gaza neighborhoods, as people scramble for safety in sealed-off territory

JERUSALEM (AP) — Israeli warplanes hammered the Gaza Strip neighborhood by neighborhood on Tuesday, reducing buildings to rubble and sending people scrambling to find safety in the tiny, sealed-off territory as Israel vowed a retaliation for Hamas’ surprise weekend attack that would “reverberate ... for generations.”

Aid organizations pleaded for the creation of humanitarian corridors to get aid into Gaza, warning that hospitals overwhelmed with wounded were running out of supplies. Israel has stopped all access of food, fuel and medicines into Gaza, and the sole remaining access from Egypt shut down Tuesday after airstrikes hit near the border crossing.

The war began after Hamas militants stormed into Israel on Saturday, bringing gunbattles to its streets for the first time in decades. At least 1,600 lives have already been claimed on both sides, and perhaps hundreds more. Hamas and other militant groups in Gaza hold more than 150 soldiers and civilians hostage, according to Israel.

The conflict is only expected to escalate. Israel expanded the mobilization of reservists to 360,000 on Tuesday, according to the country’s media. After days of fighting, Israel’s military said Tuesday morning that it had regained effective control over areas Hamas attacked in its south, and of the Gaza border.

A looming question is whether Israel will launch a ground offensive into Gaza — a 40 kilometer-long (25 mile-long) strip of land wedged among Israel, Egypt and the Mediterranean Sea that is home to 2.3 million people and has been governed by Hamas since 2007.

Not good enough Israel. Go in and remove every Hamas male of fighting age from the face of the Earth.

No ground operation. Pound them with air and artillery for unceasingly for a week. Then send drones over.

If there’s anything left twitching do it again for another week.

While they’re annihilating Gaza, I wonder if the IDF would mind doing us all a favor and wiping out a few dozen AssPress facilities...

When it comes to muslims, there are two kinds. The radicals, then there are the ones who silently agree with the radicals.

Israel is just bombing the useful puppets of the Iranian government. Iran is the brains behind the attack on Israel. Just my humble opinion based on years of following the evolution of the radical muslims.

We did during the first several weeks. Then it got forgotten by the press.

I suspect the only times most Hamas members normally see the inside of a mosque is when they are carrying weapons into a mosque or retrieving them.

The wording in that article very quickly reveals its slant. Phrases like “tiny, sealed-off territory”, “pleas for humanitarian corridors”, etc. etc...

Yeah, we get it. The vocal “majority” of the Mainstream Media (and nearly the ENTIRETY of Social Media) wants to portray this as a David vs. Goliath noble fight of the oppressed, downtrodden Palestinians trapped in the Racist, Genocidal Illegitimate Apartheid State of “Occupied Palestine” (aka so-called “Israel”), and that, no matter what the Palestinians do, no matter what the context, it’s automatically 100% justified, blah blah blah...

They’re praying for a “Final Solution” that they believe is nearly a century too late.

“Wipe out the hospitals.”

That would be a war crime.
