#Rafah

28 posts25 participants2 posts today

Lungo il confine della Striscia, l’ #IDF ha esteso la zona cuscinetto da alcune centinaia di metri a 2 km. #Rafah è completamente rasa al suolo. Israele si sta mangiando #Gaza pezzo a pezzo.

Ecco, ma non sento sdegnate proteste, nè in Italia nè altrove.

I morti non sono tutti uguali.

#Buongiorno?

“I look forward to seeing more and more people willing to resist the direction the world is moving in, a direction where our personal experiences are irrelevant, that we are defective, that our communities are not important, that we are powerless, that our future is determined, and that the highest level of humanity is expressed through what we choose to buy at the mall.”

And then Israel is also pushing from the north, from Beit Hanoon and from Jabalia.

And so the whole population, 2.1 million of them, are being squeezed into an ever-shrinking area in Gaza, literally being squeezed westwards towards the sea.

Now, in the meantime, there is no food, no water, no electricity and no medicine. And that is also deliberate.

Israeli forces squeezing Palestinians into ever shrinking area in Gaza

Rafah was home to about a quarter of a million Palestinians.

It takes up about a fifth of the territory of the Gaza Strip. It is now off limits to Palestinians.

You have the eastern side of Gaza being cleared of not just Palestinians, but of the buildings that remain standing.

🌍 ■ Israel anuncia el aislamiento de Rafah y la incluye en su "zona de seguridad" ■ Esta zona, ubicada entre el Corredor de Filadelfia al sur y el Eje Morag al norte, albergaba a más de 200.000 palestinos antes de la guerra, reducidos a un par de centenares tras la destrucción generalizada causada por el Ejército israelí.

Israel 'plans to turn Rafah into a buffer zone' | Middle East Eye (2025-04-09)

“The Israeli military plans to turn #Rafah, a densely populated Palestinian city in the southern Gaza Strip, into a buffer zone, according to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz.”

“‘According to defense sources, it has yet to be decided whether the entire area will simply be designated a buffer zone that is off-limits to civilians - as has been done in other parts of the border area - or whether the area will be fully cleared and all buildings demolished, effectively wiping out the city of Rafah,’ Haaretz reported.”

“According to defence sources that spoke to Haaretz, the move aims to leave the Gaza Strip an enclave surrounded by Israeli territory, separating it from Egypt.”
