Israel’s Defence Minister Yaov Gallant has ordered the complete closure of the Gaza Strip, including a ban on the entry of food, water, fuel or access to electricity as Israel intensifies its bombardment of the besieged Strip in the wake of the surprise attack by the Palestinian resistance. His comments have drawn criticism for advocating collective punishment of Gaza’s entire civilian Palestinian population in breach of international law.
Israeli Defence Minister Yoav Gallant ordered an increase in intensity of airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.
Gallant said that the war Israel is fighting against Hamas is “a war for our future.”
He added: “Exacting a heavy price from the enemy is a necessary condition for our existence in the region.”
Gallant makes the comments during a visit to the Israeli Air Force’s underground command centre at the Israeli occupation forces headquarters in Tel Aviv.

Antiwar website has a biased antiwar stance.
“We have been warning time and time again… everything is going to erupt and everybody is going to pay a price – mainly innocent civilians on both sides. And unfortunately, that is exactly what happened,” he added.
Gaza has also been under an Israeli-imposed land, sea, and air blockade since 2007, and Israel frequently bombs the besieged enclave. The last major bombing campaign took place in 2021, when over 250 Palestinians were killed.
“The Israeli government, which is a fascist government, supports, encourages, and leads pogroms against the Palestinians. There is an ethnic cleansing going on. It was obvious the writing was on the wall, written in the blood of the Palestinians – and unfortunately now Israelis as well,” Cassif said.

Antiwar website has a biased antiwar stance.
what the hell are you going on about, everyone with a soul is anti-war
Well, many are not antiwar if you look at the bloods and crips, only a few are antiwar.
That is why I made sure to post that antiwar.com is antiwar, I can’t use them as a news source on lemmy due to “left” bias stance.
someone else take a gander at this because this is confusing the hell outta me
Reminder that everyone in this conflict besides Civilians are bad people. Hamas is a terrorist organization. The Israeli government support the genocide of the Palestinian people. Everyone else are just planning to profit from this.
Every group that fights an occupying force gets labeled a terrorist organization.
When Argentina occupied the Falkland Islands, the UK military who fought them weren’t described as a terrorist organisation. Not by anyone with an ounce of sense at least, and certainly not by the islanders who’s land and homes had been occupied.
Every indigenous group that fights an occupying force gets labeled a terrorist organization.
Well done, that’s less false than your initial comment.
Thanks for testing my thesis.
Reminder that both siders are the biggest status quo supporters of existing horrors. In your case, it happens to be support for Israeli colonisation and genocide since over 80 years. Calling Palestine defenders terrorists means you actively want Israel and USA to win.
This shitbag is a right wing fascist who would make Hitler blush with pride.
