This is not Rafah, nor Jabalia, nor Aita in southern Lebanon
This is the Manshiyya neighborhood in Jaffa during the 1948 war
On that day, there was no Hamas and no October 7th; even the Arab armies had not yet entered Palestine!
They destroyed Jaffa, killed and expelled its people under British occupation supervision.
The aggression on the city began with the bombing of the government Saraya building on 2/1/1948, which led to the martyrdom of dozens, followed by the siege of the city and its shelling starting from the month of February (2) until the fall of the city on 28/4/1948 -
Britain withdrew on 15/5/1948, and on the same day the establishment of Israel was announced, and the next day the Arab armies entered.
No one was defending the city except its sons and some Palestinian and Arab volunteers.
Researcher Bilal Shlush wrote in detail about the siege of Jaffa in his book "Jaffa.. Blood on Stone: The Jaffa Garrison and Its Military Action: A Study and Documents".Destruction, killing, and expulsion are at the core of the Zionist doctrine and are not a reaction to a resistance act. The destruction of buildings after the expulsion of their inhabitants happened in more than 500 Palestinian villages after the Nakba; very few survived the destruction. What is happening in Gaza is nothing but a continuation of 77 years of genocide.
