Israel’s Genocide in Gaza | 2023- till present

[VCheng]

What do you mean by, " Has not gone wider"?

other than so many innocent lives lost, conflict has spread out of Gaza, multiple countries involved,

The death toll is truly horrific and abhorrent. But thus far the spillover is pretty limited given the potential situation.

Death toll and spillover could have been avoided?

It could be much worse. God forbid. It is horrific already even so.

its in a horrific situation because we provided more weapons instead of trying to control and contain both sides. and we encouraged go full throttle, we support you.

And who is this we you mention here? There are many suppliers of weapons to parties in this conflict.

With the withdrawal of IDF forces from Gaza City, and thr failure of Israel to eradicate Hamas from there, it's increasingly looking like a Hamas victory for the Battle of Gaza City.

The IDF has left behind a small number of Israeli SPECFOR to conduct asymmetrical warfare, and continues to launch air raids into the city, but so far they've failed to achieve anything.

Israeli's campaign have failed to achieve the desired results. Their main objectives were...

-to cut off Hamas in the North from the South. Result: Failure in stopping the flow.

-find and destroy Hamas' main HQ in Northern Gaza. Result: partial success by default, as they managed to occupy most of Gaza city and razed almost all of the infrastructure to the ground. Though they never found definitive proof of any large scale Hamas HQ.

-find and destroy Hamas' military capabilities. Result: complete failure. Hamas has shown itself to be nearly immune to Israeli attacks to degrade its capabilities, and continues to launch large scale attacks against both IDF forces within Gaza, and launch hundreds of rockets into Israeli territory.

-find and destroy Hamas' senior leadership. Result: failure; while they managed to kill a few serior members who are replaceable, they have not killed any key members of Hamas' high command, neither political nor military.

-to fully occupy Gaza. Result: failure, as they've had to constantly abandon entire areas due to heavy attrition and move on to more important objectives. This has resulted in Hamas regrouping in areas that the IDF literally abandon a day prior.

The Battle of Gaza City is for all intent and purposes, over. Hamas has in my observation won in the North.

The South is still a wait and see, though even there the IDF is having a rough time as pressure continues to build on Israel from even its closest allies to cut its losses and exit Gaza.

are they still firing katyusha/qassam rockets into Israel ?

has there been any incursions into Israel proper where they have inflicted any damage on the IDF of general population ?

what is the extent of damage in the strip ?

how many people have they lost ?

....

who "won" ?

All of them. and none tried to contain it.
one side started killing indiscriminately children, women and civilian unarmed innocents. death toll and statistics shows which side took it too far with the support they have.

Hamas unguided rockets have limited range and cannot do much damage to targets due to their limited payload.

Please find an excerpt from the situation report provided by UNOCHA(UN office for coordination of Humanitarian Affairs);

• Intense Israeli bombardments from air, land, and sea continued across much of the Gaza Strip on 12 January, resulting in further civilian casualties and destruction. The firing of rockets by Palestinian armed groups into Israel reportedly continued, and also ground operations and fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian armed groups across much of the Gaza Strip.
• Between the afternoons of 11 and 12 January, according to the Ministry of Health (MoH) in Gaza, 151 Palestinians were reportedly killed, and another 248 people were reportedly injured. Between 7 October 2023 and 12:00 on 12 January 2024, at least 23,708 Palestinians were killed in Gaza and 60,005 Palestinians were injured, according to MoH.
• Since 11 January and as of 12 January, there were no reports of Israeli soldier killed in Gaza. Since the start of the ground operation, 184 soldiers have been killed, and 1,099 soldiers have been injured in Gaza, according to the Israeli military.
• Access denials of humanitarian missions and severe access constraints by Israeli authorities have risen since the start of the year, with only 21 per cent (five out of 24) of planned deliveries of food, medicine, water and other lifesaving supplies successfully reaching their destinations in northern Gaza. These denials paralyze the ability of humanitarian partners to respond meaningfully, consistently and at-scale, to widespread humanitarian needs.
• On 12 January, the Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Griffith’s stated that: “Our efforts to send humanitarian convoys to the North have been met with delays, denials, and the imposition of impossible conditions. The lack of respect for the humanitarian notification system puts every movement of aid workers in danger, as do the wholly insufficient quantities of armoured vehicles and the limited communications equipment that we have been allowed to bring in... Providing humanitarian assistance across Gaza is almost impossible.”
• Overall, the rate of access denials for missions to the north of Wadi Gaza seen as of 12 January 2024 presents a significant deterioration when compared with those of December 2023, where more than 70 per cent (13 out of 18) of planned UN missions to the north were coordinated and undertaken, where needs are estimated to be the highest and most severe. Every day of assistance missed results in lost lives and suffering for hundreds of thousands of people who remain in northern Gaza. Access to the north is almost impossible, and access the Deir al Balah and Khan Younis areas is shrinking by the day.
• Since 1 January, Israeli authorities have restricted all six humanitarian missions to resupply fuel to water and wastewater stations in the north, for life-saving water, sanitation and hygiene (WASH) assistance. This denotes a shift from the period between October and December 2023, where only 33 per cent of the missions (2) were restricted . Humanitarian partners have not been able to assess or resupply fuel to Jabalya area since receiving initial reports of water and waste flooding in Jabalya camp on 5 January. At least 100,000 internally displaced persons (IDPs) are estimated to reside in UN and public shelters in that area. The last humanitarian mission reaching there was on the 29 November, during the ceasefire.
• Flooding and waste contamination pose serious health threats. With one latrine shared by hundreds of displaced people, urgent access to the aforementioned areas is imperative. Unmanaged human waste, combined with flooding of water and sewage not only increases health risks, but also causes sustained damage to remaining public infrastructure and induce environmental hazards.
• Since 1 January, only one of ten planned missions in support of health lifesaving and emergency activities (including the provision of medicines) proceeded to north Gaza and they could not be carried out fully. As a result, hospitals in northern Gaza remain without sufficient access to life-saving medical supplies and equipment.
• On 12 January, the World Health Organization (WHO) announced that after more than two weeks, humanitarian partners were able to reach Shifa hospital in northern Gaza. They delivered 9,300 litres of fuel and medical supplies to cover 1,000 trauma and 100 kidney dialysis patients. Shifa hospital has reestablished some of its medical services, with 60 medical staff, ⁠a surgical and medical ward with 40 beds, an emergency department, ⁠four operating theatres, basic emergency obstetric and gynaecologic services, a limited haemodialysis unit, minimal laboratory services, and basic radiology services.
• As of 12 January, less than half of the planned coordinated missions across Gaza (3 of 7) aimed at providing food assistance, including jointly with other sectors, were completed. Two missions were denied access by Israeli authorities and two had to be cancelled due to infeasible access through routes assigned by the Israeli authorities. Only eight per cent (2) of missions were denied access or were on hold due to security concerns between October and December 2023. Due to the increasing access constraints, especially in the north and middle areas, the World Food Programme (WFP) was able to provide food assistance to about 900,000 people through food parcels, wheat, flour, bread at 91 locations, which is a portion of the needs of food assistance in December.
• On 12 January, between 15:30 and 16:00, telecommunication companies in Gaza announced that services had been shut down. This is the seventh time that communications in the Gaza strip have stopped working since 7 October.
• On 12 January, 178 trucks with food, medicine and other supplies entered the Gaza Strip through the Rafah and Kerem Shalom crossings. Under-Secretary-General for Humanitarian Affairs and Emergency Relief Coordinator Griffith’s stated today that: "while we have seen some minor increase in the number of trucks entering via Rafah and Kerem Shalom, humanitarian supplies alone will not be able to sustain more than 2 million people. We cannot replace Gaza’s commercial sector. Commercial goods must be let in, at scale. A growing list of rejected items means we are unable to bring into Gaza supplies to rehabilitate life-sustaining infrastructure. The system for medical evacuation of patients to Egypt is also woefully inadequate in the face of the massive needs.”

Hostilities and casualties (Gaza Strip)

• The following are among the deadliest incidents reported on 11 January and 12 January:
• On 11 January, at about 10:50, a group of Palestinians came under a strike, with six of them reportedly killed, in Abasan Al Kabira, east of Khan Younis.
• On 11 January, at about 19:40, nine people, including a child, where reportedly killed when a house was struck in Ash Shoka neighbourhood, east of Rafah.
• On 12 January, at about 1:00, 14 people were reportedly killed and others were injured as a house was struck west of Deir al Balah.
• On 11 January 2024, at about 17:15, a car was struck in Al Manara, southeast of Khan Younis. Reportedly, minutes later, another strike hit a group of people who were trying to extract those who had been killed from the car. In total, ten people were reportedly killed.

But there is no proportionality in war. Each side fights with all means at its disposal.

But their psychological impact on a cowering civilian population is pretty significant.

As is a the sound of a JDAM right before it levels your neighbourhood block.

Are justifying killing children, women, bombing hospitals etc?

I hope not, because one side is doing it with all the means / support and fresh supply. are these established ROEs of War?
