CNN Defense Analysts have now determined that the Israeli Airstrike on May 26th against a Hamas Compound in Western Rafah, which was believed to have possibly caused an Explosion and Fire which resulted in the Death of between 35-45 Palestinian Refugees, could not have been “Completely Caused” by the Israeli Airstrike due to the Size of the Explosion.

Shrapnel and Parts which were Discovered in the Rubble of the Hamas Compound, which was roughly 200 Meters from the UNRWA Refugee Camp, suggest that the Strike was carried out using 2 GBU-39 Small Diameter Bomb with 250lb Warheads; these Bombs would have not been nearly Powerful enough to have caused the Explosion at the Camp nor would the have been Large enough to cause any kind of “Splash Damage” to the Camp, which again was over a Kilometer from the Strike Location.

This Analysis suggests that what Israeli Defense Officials have so far suggested is likely True, which is that Hamas Munitions which were Hidden roughly Half-Way between the Compound and Camp were Detonated by Shrapnel from the Airstrike, causing the Explosion of multiple Fuel Tanks at the Refugee Camp and the eventual Fire.
 
 

Report to Congress on Israel and Hamas Conflict​

JUNE 5, 2024 9:16 AM

The following June 3, 2024, Congressional Research Service report, Israel and Hamas Conflict In Brief.

From the report

Since October 7, 2023, Israel has been at war with the Palestinian Sunni Islamist group Hamas (a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization, or FTO), which led an attack that day from the Gaza Strip into Israel. More than 1,200 Israelis and foreign nationals (including at least 35 U.S. citizens in Israel) were killed on October 7, and Hamas and other groups also seized some 252 hostages. Iran provides regular material support to Hamas, but the Office of the Director of National Intelligence assessed in February 2024 that “Iranian leaders did not orchestrate nor had foreknowledge of” the attack. The conflict that has ensued over eight months has posed increasing challenges for U.S. policymakers. This report focuses on selected aspects of the war and issues for Congress, with other aspects and regional issues addressed in other CRS products.

Conflict, humanitarian situation, and international action. In the conflict to date, more than 36,000 Palestinians in Gaza have been killed, according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry there. Additionally, about 1.7 million of Gaza’s some 2.1 million residents have been displaced, with most facing unsanitary, overcrowded conditions alongside acute shortages of food, water, medical care, and other essential supplies and services. Obstacles to transporting aid through crossings and Israeli checkpoints and then safely delivering it have contributed to high levels of food insecurity. The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification warned in March that “famine is imminent,” amid greater casualty counts (including among aid workers) and reports of increasingly dire humanitarian conditions. In this context, U.S. demands on Israel to boost assistance deliveries and improve deconfliction have increased.

Report to Congress on Hamas and U.S. Policy​

JUNE 16, 2024 10:56 PM

The following is the June 14, 2024, Congressional Research Service report, Hamas: Background, Current Status, and U.S. Policy.

From the report

Hamas (or the Islamic Resistance Movement) is a Palestinian Sunni Islamist military and sociopolitical movement, and a U.S.-designated foreign terrorist organization (FTO). Hamas’s primary base of action and support is in the Gaza Strip, which it has controlled since 2007. It also operates in the West Bank and Lebanon, and some Hamas leaders and personnel live and/or work in various Arab countries and Turkey. Hamas reportedly receives material assistance and training from Iran and some of its allies, including the Lebanese Shia group Hezbollah (another FTO). From its inception, Hamas has overseen a social welfare network that appears to have aided its popularity among Palestinians while serving as a conduit for some funding for Hamas military operations.

International Criminal Court (ICC) delays arrest warrants process against Netanyahu and Galant due to British interference - The Jerusalem Post

The ICC Pre-Trial Tribunal has postponed its decision-making process about whether it will allow ICC Prosecutor Karim Khan to issue arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for alleged war crimes. The postponement came following a June 10 application by England to file a “friend of the court” brief against the ICC’s jurisdiction over the issue.

Thursday’s ruling not only granted the UK’s request to intervene; it also granted in advance the right of other countries to intervene.

The ICC gave England and other countries until July 12 to file their briefs. Furthermore, the ICC said their briefs and the entire debate process could be made public, even though arrest-warrant proceedings are generally kept secret to avoid alerting the suspect.

The rats are fleeing the ship.

With this call for an investigation, It’s clear that they are setting Netanyahu up to be hung for the October 7 attack.

There is widespread understanding within the Israeli intelligence, (if anything of intelligence remains in these bureaucratic psychopaths and demonic racists) that it is only a matter of time before other international and United Nations and other global entities’ investigations discover that the October 7 attack was a false flag 9-11 event , set up by elements within the Netanyahu government. Why?

To initiate genocide masquerading as military defense operations against the Palestinians ; then gradually steal the land and resources , and hope the world didn’t notice. Fortunately, God noticed. “vengeance is mine, Says God, I shall repay .”

In essence this is Israel trying to stop the ship from sinking, but it’s breakup is inevitable. The Israeli ship’s back is broken, It’s propellers have come off, it’s rowers are collapsing with COVID-19 related health disorders, and the captain and crew are mortally wounded.

The lesson : commit genocide and war based on ethnic , racial hatred and the world will hate the nation and people who do it. Now Israel and everyone in it are despised by the world for this genocide unlike any other time in history.

This is the beginning of the absolute extinguishing of the Israeli flame of death And madness.

Colonel Doug McGregor says “it’s a shame “ , but I say instead it’s righteous that Israel crumble for with it the slavery it has oppressed the Palestinian people with for over 70 years also crumbles.

If there is no Israeli repentance, then it deserves the Sodom and Gomorrah end coming its way….good riddance.


 
The pier was money laundering with some clever operational name like "Operation Pressure Washer".
