[VIDEOS/PICTURES] Bloodshed in the land of Palestine - 2023 Edition

At least 38 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks carried out across Gaza today, 30 in the north of the enclave

Hamas spokesman Abdel-Latif al-Qanoua has been killed in northern Gaza’s Jabalia city, the group says, promising that the Israeli targeting of the group’s leadership and spokespeople would not break its will.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians in Gaza are again at risk of severe hunger and malnutrition, the United Nations World Food Programme (WFP) has said, noting its remaining food stocks are only set to last for two weeks.

In Lebanon, at least six people have been killed in Israeli strikes today in the south of the country, according to the Ministry of Health. Israel claimed to have killed a Hezbollah commander, also in the south.

Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 50,208 Palestinians are confirmed dead and 113,910 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead.

At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.

Because:

1. Hamas took the hostages first on Oct 7th which caused the invasion of Gaza by Israel. So I think Hamas should let go all the hostages and if Israel still goes offensive then they have all the right to become angry. If this happens, I dont thinl even USA will support Israel.

2. Palestine is no match for Israel. There are thousands of innocent Palestine's dying everyday. Israel will be more than comfortable to continue this war. Will it not be sensible from Hamas to let go the hostages and save the lives of Palestinians, if they care about it of course.

There's Thousands of Palestinian Hostages locked up in Israeli jails for years. With alot of them who are children. Bottom line is the zionests have no appetite for peace, as history of 76 years suggests.
 
Israeli forces arrest prominent Palestinian journalist in West Bank
The Palestinian Journalists' Syndicate has condemned the arrest of a prominent local journalist by Israeli forces in the occupied West Bank.

Ali al-Samoudi, who has worked extensively with Western media, was detained during a raid on his son's home in the northern city of Jenin early on Tuesday.

The 58-year-old was interrogated for half an hour at an unknown location and was later transferred to an Israeli hospital due to a deterioration in his health, his son Mohammed said.

The Israeli military said Samoudi was "identified with the [Palestinian] Islamic Jihad terrorist organisation" and "suspected in the transfer of funds" to it, without giving any evidence.

His family strongly denied his involvement and said that in his long career he had never previously faced such an accusation.

They said Israeli authorities had not told them the name of the hospital where he was being treated or any other details.

He is expected to be brought before a military court next Tuesday.

The Israeli military separately announced on Tuesday that security forces had detained a total of 24 wanted individuals "involved in the transfer of funds to terrorist organisations", including three from Jenin, during raids across the West Bank.

In May 2022, Samoudi was working with the Palestinian-American Al Jazeera correspondent Shireen Abu Aqla when she was shot dead by an Israeli sniper at the entrance to Jenin refugee camp. He was shot and wounded in the back.

According to the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), Israeli forces have arrested at least 79 journalists in the West Bank and Gaza since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023, while Palestinian authorities have arrested five others.

Another 176 journalists, almost all of them Palestinian, have been killed in Gaza, the West Bank, Israel and Lebanon during the war, the organisation says.

Hamas says on war anniversary it's serious about a Gaza deal, but conditions remain​


Hamas said on Tuesday it wants to reach a deal to end the war in Gaza based on U.S. President Trump's plan but still has a set of demands, a statement signalling that indirect talks with Israel in Egypt could be difficult and lengthy.

Senior Hamas official Fawzi Barhoum set out Hamas's position on the second anniversary of the Palestinian militant group's attack on Israel that triggered the Gaza war, and one day after the indirect negotiations began in Sharm el-Sheikh.

The talks appear the most promising yet for ending a war that has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and devastated Gaza since the October 7, 2023 attack on Israel, in which 1,200 people were killed and 251 were taken back to Gaza as hostages.

But officials on all sides urged caution over the prospects for a rapid agreement, as Israelis remembered the bloodiest single day for Jews since the Holocaust and Gazans voiced hope for an end to the suffering brought by two years of war.

HAMAS SETS OUT CONDITIONS

"The (Hamas) movement’s delegation participating in the current negotiations in Egypt is working to overcome all obstacles to reaching an agreement that meets the aspirations of our people in Gaza," Barhoum said in a televised statement.

He said a deal must ensure an end to the war and a full Israeli withdrawal from the Gaza Strip - conditions that Israel has never accepted. Israel, for its part wants Hamas to disarm, something the group rejects.

Hamas wants a permanent, comprehensive ceasefire, a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and the immediate start of a comprehensive reconstruction process under the supervision of a Palestinian "national technocratic body", he said.

Underlining the obstacles lying ahead at talks, an umbrella of Palestinian factions including Hamas issued a statement vowing "resistance stance by all means" and saying "no one has the right to cede the weapons of the Palestinian people."

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu did not immediately comment on the status of the talks in Sharm el-Sheikh.

U.S. officials have suggested they want to initially focus talks on a halt to the fighting and the logistics of how the hostages and political prisoners would be released. But Qatar, one of the mediators, said many details had to be worked out, indicating there was unlikely to be an imminent agreement.

In the absence of a ceasefire, Israel has pressed on with its offensive in Gaza, increasing its international isolation and prompting pro-Palestinian protests abroad which were set to continue on Tuesday.

HOPES OF A BREAKTHROUGH BY CIVILIANS ON BOTH SIDES

On the anniversary of the 2023 attack, some Israelis visited the places that were hit hardest that day.

Orit Baron stood at the site of the Nova music festival in southern Israel beside a photo of her daughter Yuval who was killed with her fiance Moshe Shuva. They were among 364 people were shot, bludgeoned or burned to death there.

"They were supposed to get married on February 14th, Valentine’s Day. And both of the families decided because actually they were found (dead) together and they brought them to us together (that) the funeral will be together," said Baron.

"They are buried next to each other because they were never separated."

Israelis are hoping the talks in Sharm el-Sheikh will soon lead to the release of all the 48 hostages still held in Gaza, 20 of whom are believed to still be alive.

"It's like an open wound, the hostages, I can't believe it's been two years and they are still not home," said Hilda Weisthal, 43.

In Gaza, 49-year-old Palestinian Mohammed Dib hoped for the end of a conflict that has caused a humanitarian crisis, displaced many Palestinians multiple times and killed more than 67,000 Palestinians.

"It's been two years that we are living in fear, horror, displacement and destruction," he said.
NO CEASEFIRE AFTER TWO YEARS OF WAR

In the latest violence, residents of Khan Younis in southern Gaza and Gaza City in the north reported new attacks by Israeli tanks, planes and boats in the early hours on Tuesday.

The Israeli military said militants in Gaza fired rockets into Israel, setting off air raid sirens at Israeli kibbutz Netiv Haasara, and that Israeli troops continued to tackle gunmen inside the enclave.

Israel and Hamas have endorsed the overall principles behind Trump's plan, under which fighting would cease, hostages go free and aid pour into Gaza. It also has backing from Arab and Western states.

But an official involved in ceasefire planning and a Palestinian source said Trump's 72-hour deadline for the hostages' return may be unachievable for dead hostages as their remains may need to be located and recovered.

Even if a deal is clinched, questions will linger over who will rule Gaza and rebuild it. Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu have ruled out any role for Hamas.

Another key issue is who will provide the billions of dollars need to rebuild an enclave that has mostly been turned into rubble.

one of the most evil posters on here by a long shot. Will stay silent on a literal genocide but will pop in to speak up for Netanyahu.

Agree.

If he hates Muslims so much, what is he doing here? LOL. Shouldn't he be on an Israeli forum or a sanghi forum?

Shameless people.

Goodness! I didn't even give any opinion. I merely posted his post on X. That post belongs to the Israeli PM, not me. I'm merely the messenger.

That would be like me calling a poster evil for making a thread on some bad news.​
