Israel pushes assault several miles into Rafah

CAIRO, May 10 (Reuters) -

The United Nations warned on Friday that aid for the Gaza Strip could grind to a halt in days, as Israeli troops took their ground war with Palestinian fighters into the crowded city of Rafah, a key aid corridor for the famine-threatened strip.

Israeli tanks captured the main road dividing the eastern and western sections of Rafah, effectively encircling the eastern part of the city in an assault that has caused Washington to block some military aid to its ally.

Hamas said it ambushed Israeli tanks near a mosque in the east of the city, a sign the Israelis had penetrated several kilometres from the east to the outskirts of the built-up area.

Israel has ordered civilians out of the eastern half of Rafah, forcing tens of thousands of people to seek shelter outside the city, previously the last refuge of more than a million who fled other parts of the enclave during the war.

Israel says it cannot win the war without assaulting Rafah to root out thousands of Hamas fighters it believes are sheltering there. Hamas says it will fight to defend it. Aid agencies say the battle puts hundreds of thousands of already displaced civilians in harm's way.

"It is not safe, all of Rafah isn't safe as tank shells landed everywhere since yesterday," Abu Hassan, 50, a resident of Tel al-Sultan west of Rafah told Reuters via a chat app.

"I am trying to leave but I can't afford 2,000 shekels to buy a tent for my family," he said. "There is an increased movement of people out of Rafah even from the western areas, though they were not designated as red zones by the occupation.

"The army is targeting all of Rafah not only the east with tank shells and air strikes."

Good, Get Some! From the river to the sea!

Let’s hope the IDF kills them all before Biden airlifts them here.

Let's see how the WH tries to spin this. They're really trying hard to play both sides of the fence but Israel, by action, just told Biden to pound sand.

Many people are wondering, what is Israel's end game?

And where do the survivors go?

There is nothing to wonder about. The goal is to destroy Hamas' capability to launch another large-scale attack on Israel. As for the operation in Rafah, Israel has instructed civilians to go to prepared areas that already have tents, food and medicine. After the major fighting has ended, Israel will maintain security control over Gaza, just as it does in the West Bank.

Wipe out every last member of Hamas. They are doing this the right way, unlike our colossal fuckup in Afghanistan where we allowed members of the Taliban to escape over the border into Pakistan instead of chasing them down and killing them, allowing them to regroup and reorganize years later and take the country back over.

Since no Arab country will admit them they can hide out in the desert.

Destroy Hamas and "denazify" the population?

Survivors?
What survivors?
They won't be doing what they did on Oct 7th for a long, long time, if ever, again. At least 50 years.
That's the end game.
It'll probably be over by the end of this year.

Latest reports are saying that the Zionists have already murdered another 20,000+ women and children!

The survivors have seen all their homes and property destroyed and these millions will have nothing left to return to. What does Israel plan to do about that? I don't think their actions in Gaza could look any worse to the world, except for conservative Americans, which is one demographic who remains completely behind the actions of Israel.

Of course the Russian trolls (^) are behind it, as it helps to distract from ttheir war crimes in Ukraine.

What's wrong with 9-11?

The bad guy, the sugar daddy of the jewish supremacist state taking a well deserved punch in the face.

​

The only thing wrong with 9-11 is that the arabs knocked down only 2 skyscrappers. It should have been 10... at least.

The Russians have eliminated over 600,000 Ukrainian combatants and it's likely that another 200,000 Ukrainian lives will be wasted on America's attempt to destroy Russia. Do you think America will succeed in both wars?

Many American liberals, if not most, see the 911 attack on America to be accomplished by freedom fighters! They see it as a revenge attack against America.

Those american liberals can drop their suspicions and be absolutely certain that the support given to the jewish racial dictatorship was the main driving force behind the virulent anti-americanism of almost everyone involved in 9-11, Don...

Ralph Bodenstein

Close friend of Mohamed Atta​

Atta's friends in Germany described him as an intelligent man with religious beliefs who grew angry over the Western policy toward the Middle East, including the Oslo Accords and the Gulf War.

Excerpt from the National Commission on Terrorist Attacks Upon the United States, commonly known as the 9/11 Commission
_______________________________________________________________________________________________

MSNBC, in its special "The Making of the Death Pilots," interviewed German friend Ralph Bodenstein who traveled, worked and talked a lot with Mohamed Atta. Bodenstein said, "He was most imbued [sic] actually about Israeli politics in the region and about U.S. protection of these Israeli politics in the region. And he was to a degree personally suffering from that."

it worked on the Germans and the Japanese.

You are a moron.

Exactly. They have no war machine to return to. They no longer have the infrastructure nor the terrorist government to attack Israel and start destructive wars.

What does Israel plan to do about that?

The more pertinent question is what the people of Gaza plan to do with that. One can only hope they turn towards building a peace-loving society with good relations with its neighbors.
