Israel’s military has claimed it has encircled Gaza City and divided the besieged coastal strip into two, as Gaza came under its third total communications outage since the start of the war.

“Today, there is north Gaza and south Gaza,” Israeli army spokesman Daniel Hagari told reporters on Sunday, calling it a “significant stage” in Israel’s war against Hamas.

Israeli media reported that troops are expected to enter Gaza City within 48 hours. Strong explosions were seen in northern Gaza after nightfall.

But the “collapse in connectivity” across Gaza reported by internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org and confirmed by the Palestinian telecom company Paltel made it even more complicated to convey details of the new stage of the military offensive.

    I worry that you think cancer is cured by killing its host.

      so first off, what do you think chemotherapy is? secondly, when we remove a tumor surgically we take all the surrounding healthy tissue around it out as well, and how do we differentiate the “healthy” and “cancerous” humans?

      there is a Reason why we rightfully despise the people who use body-politic or “volkskörper” rhetoric, because once you get right down to it, it’s always genocide and murder as an answer.

      Ironic that you would use the ideological understanding of groups of people from the Nazis to defend the current genocide (and yes it’s a genocide)
