Israel ground offensive moves into Gaza refugee camps

For nearly 12 weeks now cameras trained on gaza’s Skyline and yesterday was one of the bloodiest 24 hours inside the strip since the War Began an average eight people were killed every hour 2023 starts to fade the intensity of the fighting does not and this is what that high-intensity

Fighting looks like on the ground this was Central AA several refugee camps targeted there today the IDF hope that in time this level of combat will taper off as hamas’s military capability is degraded but after that months if not more of the Israeli securing the Gaza Strip political and military leaders in

Israel are preparing people in other words for a long War stretching well into 2024 let this war has necessary and not easily achievable goals it takes place in complex territory the war will go on for many months and we will employ different methods to maintain our achievements

There are no magic Solutions there are no short cuts to santing a terrorist organization only determined and persistent fighting and we are very very determined so 3 months into the war who’s winning the IDF believes its kill around 7,000 Hamas operatives thousands more were wounded or captured that could mean that by some

Estimates around half of hamas’s fighters in Gaza are now out of the picture including a large number of senior field commanders crucially though the three Hamas leaders Most Wanted by Israel are still alive the Palestinian red Cresent describes this facility in the jabali refugee camp as the last place place

People can get treatment in Northern Gaza according to gaza’s health Ministry over 21,000 people have been killed inside the strip the IDF says around 7,000 Hamas Fighters have been eliminated remember that would mean around two civilians dying for every one Hamas operative today Mahmud Abbas the Palestinian president described what’s

Happening in Gaza as quote Beyond a war of annihilation Ben Benjamin Netanyahu laid out the war’s goals in simple terms in an opinion article in the Wall Street Journal yesterday Hamas he said must be destroyed Gaza must be demilitarized but then he went on to say this and Palestinian Society must be

Deradicalized the last Point speaks to a broader War aim and extends Beyond Gaza the funeral today of six young men in tarm the West Bank they were killed in a drone strike during what the IDF describes as a counterterrorism operation if deradicalization is a genuine War aim the looks in these young

Men’s eyes speaks to a battle lost poric O’Brien reporting well earlier I spoke to the General Secretary of the Palestinian national initiative political party Mustafa barouti and rala I asked him if he echoed president abbas’s argument that for the Palestinian people this is a catastrophe greater than the neckar of

1948 absolutely I think what’s happening in Gaza is totally unacceptable in every standard we’re talking about a combination of three war crimes committed by Israel including genocide including Collective punishment and including the act of ethnic cleansing so far if we count The People Under The Rebel who nobody can get to we’re

Talking about no less than 28,000 Palestinians killed mostly civilians of whom uh 11,500 are children and more than 7,000 women and additionally there are 54,000 people injured if we count them together this is almost 2.6% of the whole population of Gaza had this happened in the United States of America

You would be talking about 8.2 million people killed in less than 10 weeks I mean obviously that is unacceptable obviously the Israeli say this is in response to the atrocities committed by Hamas on October the 7th but given the situation in Gaza at the moment what do

You make of the Israeli Chief of Staff saying there will be no letup in this war that it could go on for months I mean what in your view would Gaza look like if this does go on for months I think that statement reveals the real intention of the Israeli

Government which Netanyahu didn’t hide which is that they want to continue this war till they are able to ethnically cleanse every every Palestinian in Gaza out of Gaza into the desert of siai Israelis have always maintained this is about Exterminating destroying Hamas they’ve always maintained that from the very beginning that’s that’s their

Propaganda but the reality is that they want to exterminate the whole Palestinian population in Gaza and they’re not only attacking Gaza they’re attacking us also in the West Bank we’ve lost more than 300 people since the 7th of October in the West Bank Hamas is not governing the West Bank but they

Continue to attack Palestinians here as well well Benjamin nyaho has said that it is very important for the Safety and Security of Israel that Hamas is destroyed he is talking about trying to deradicalize Palestinians in Gaza and in the West Bank what does that look like

To you I think he should start de der radicalizing his own government including the fascists like smotrich and Bing who say that all Palestinians must either leave or accept a life of subjugation to Israelis or Die the problem here is that we are dealing with a true fascist government and this is

Not I repeat this is not an attack on Hamas only it’s an attack on all Palestinian people these 11,500 children did not do anything they’re not militants but they are killing them I mean you you are well aware of course of the Israeli answer to that to that Hamas they say use

Civilians as human Shields but the difficulty for the Palestinians truthfully is that politically they are divided what can they do to bring about the end of the war can they press on Hamas the need to perhaps give up the hostages first of all the Israelis say that even if the Israeli prisoners are

Released they will not stop the war they will continue and uh but but that’s not the issue these all these prisoners can be released tomorrow if if Israel accepts to release our prisoners who are no less than 8,000 now in in the West Bank and more than 2,000 held in concentration

Camps what ends the stalemate here though what ends the stalemate when so many Palestinians are dying seize fire immediately that should be the slogan of everybody seize fire immediately and then we can everything can be discussed but the continuation of this of this war means uh the total

Exter of so many Palestinians Mustafa bagti have to leave it there thank you very much for talking to us thank you

It’s been another deadly day in Gaza. The Hamas-controlled health ministry says 195 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours.

And Israel announced three more of its soldiers were killed in action, bringing the total to over 160 dead.

There’s little sign of an end to the war – with the Israeli military warning there are no shortcuts in its mission to destroy Hamas.

  1. this report paints a rosy picture for israel but its pure propoganda because the reality is unthinkable to israel because if they lose and become weak the vultures will come for them

  2. Let’s not forget one important massage “if Israel puts down it weapons there is not Israel tomorrow if the Palestinian put down their weapons tomorrow we have peace in the region”

  4. AMEN General Secretary! Finally someone calls it out! Israel needs to begin with re-radicalizing of Israel, Nobody sounds more radical than Netanyahu! Teach your own children in schools not to hate the Palestinians, teach them that you are on their land, teach them gratitude instead of entitlement. Teach them the 10 commandments…not that they are "Chosen" and therefore entitled! Clean up your own front yard…Then move on to preaching…..#ceasefire

  5. Lies and deceit have become the trademarks of the most cowardly force on earth. Where is this alleged headquarters beneath Al Shiffa Hospital? Where are the thousands of militants supposedly vanquished? All we witness are the children and innocents caught in your crosshairs, their lives shattered by your actions. Your claims stand hollow, your tactics, a stark revelation of your true nature.

  6. May be 50 years from now the crime israel is commiting they will pay back each of them. After all such war crimes one thing is sure the people of Israel cannot roam freely anywhere in the world. They will carry the fear all their life . 28k killed and counting , Hitler killed 6 Million Jews in concentration camps these victims are now playing as culprits

  8. Israel funded Hamas in the hope that by sustaining Hamas in Gaza it would widen the split between Gaza and the West Bank, undermine the Palestinian Authority (PA) and make the prospect of a unified Palestinian position impossible.

    Netanyahu said "Anyone who wants to thwart the establishment of a Palestinian state has to support bolstering Hamas and transferring money to Hamas … This is part of our strategy – to isolate the Palestinians in Gaza from the Palestinians in the West Bank.”

    March 2019, Netanyahu told his Likud colleagues the above.

    Likud Party: Original Party Platform (1977)

    a. The right of the Jewish people to the land of Israel is eternal and indisputable and is linked with the right to security and peace; therefore, Judea and Samaria will not be handed to any foreign administration; BETWEEN THE SEA AND THE JORDAN THERE WILL ONLY ISRAELI SOVEREIGNTY

    b. A plan which relinquishes parts of western Eretz Israel, undermines our right to the country, unavoidably leads to the establishment of a "Palestinian State," jeopardizes the security of the Jewish population, endangers the existence of the State of Israel. and frustrates any prospect of peace

    Brig. Gen. Yitzhak Segev, who was the Israeli military governor in Gaza in the early 1980s. Segev later told a New York Times reporter that he had helped finance the Palestinian Islamist movement as a “counterweight” to the secularists and leftists of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Fatah party, led by Yasser Arafat (who himself referred to Hamas as “a creature of Israel.”)

    “The Israeli government gave me a budget,” the retired brigadier general confessed, “and the military government gives to the mosques.”

    “Hamas, to my great regret, is Israel’s creation,” Avner Cohen, a former Israeli religious affairs official who worked in Gaza for more than two decades, told the Wall Street Journal in 2009. Back in the mid-1980s, Cohen even wrote an official report to his superiors warning them not to play divide-and-rule in the Occupied Territories, by backing Palestinian Islamists against Palestinian secularists. “I … suggest focusing our efforts on finding ways to break up this monster before this reality jumps in our face,” he wrote.

    For years, Netanyahu propped up Hamas. Now it’s blown up in our faces – The premier’s policy of treating the terror group as a partner, at the expense of Abbas and Palestinian statehood, has resulted in wounds that will take Israel years to heal from

    Netanyahu: Money to Hamas part of strategy to keep Palestinians divided
    Jerusalem Post 12 March 2019

  9. This time Israel is paying heavily. After oct 7 Almost 1400 died thousands wounded now since ground invasion IDF death toll rises to 150 + which is an official number as per Hamas the numbers are high , 1000s Ssly wounded , the death toll from Hezbollah attacks is different which is growing rapidly . The Yemen Houthis is hurting israel economically almost 30% of import is temporarily suspended as attacks in red sea continue

  14. Everyone is saying Hamas and the Pally people are winning this war, so why do they call for ceasefire every minute, everyday, even Scott Ritter says israel is losing, so keep going, keep doing what you are doing and you will keep winning, unless something smelling is be told to everyone. Just saying.

  15. Salam, Shlama, Shlomo, Shalom, Peace.

  19. Channel 4 why are you not calling this a genocide , the rest of the world (apart from the elites and US) are calling it a what it is, A GENOCIDE

  24. This is what happens when 1.8 billion people curse the Jews and Christians every time they pray, how’s that working out for you Mohamadans ?

  26. Why hasn't anyone ask hamas to lay down there weapon game over. I just find it crazy how hamas can break in kill murder rape rampage bit Isreal not only has to fight back they hafta protect the very people tht hate them. I guess my point is why is it OK for what thy did bit Isreals response is genocide. I don't like any of it I have nothing against anyone I'm against all this senseless deaths

  27. “Offensive into a refugee camp”, that means genocide , and it’s also against human rights. But human rights only apply to the US, israhellis and European white supremacist

  32. If the Israeli's continue as they are at present, I don't see how this war can go on for several more months for in a month or so Gaza will be flattened and inhabitable and the Palestinians in Gaza will all be dead. Killed by the Israeli military. And btw, I don't understand Channel 4, sometimes they appear 100% on the side of Netanyahu and his thugs, and other times, like above, most harsh words are for Hamas suggesting they are all to blame. Never completely on the side of the long-suffering Palestinians.

  35. The people of gaza are brainwashed from birth with islam. Which teaches the hatred of the jews. I dont blame Israel from doing what they are doing and the casualty delta is lower than other wars anyway. We shouldn't be covering this war so much there are plenty of others going on.

  36. Hypocrite,Mustafa Barghouti (General Secy-Palestinian National Initiative)
    own words against Israel is actually the REVERSE.  It is the Palestinian Terrorists for decades committing unacceptable genocidal collective punishment, towards ALL Israelis. Rather than Palestinians confronting their own criminals from within to STOP terrorism they blame Israel for their self-induced miseries when Israel defends itself.

    Whenever Israel defends itself from unprovoked, heinous atrocities in direct response to terrorists it is called "war crimes".  How is the October 7th surprise attack against Israel described by this deluded self-righeous Mustafa Barghouti?

    Many reported Civilian casualties in Gaza are actually Terrorist casualties.  False propaganda spewed by another sophisticated armchair terrorist with the guise of legitimacy. 😢.

  38. There is a very easy solution to stop the war: Hamas should surrender. The war will stop immediately. They should stop to let kill their people, they started the war on October, and they can stop it now, but they are cowards.

  39. Corrupt PM Netanyahu defaming the nation committing genocide owing to need him to out to get peaceful solution otherwise called in question of existence of Israel.

  43. It appears to be just a slaughter by people who never had any humanity whatsoever and much of the world will now see Israel and the west, especially the US, as an entitles of pure evil despite how the corrupt media push to portray them as saints.
