A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.

Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.

Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.

We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.

Al Mayadeen's sources revealed on Sunday that the Israeli Occupation Forces had been deploying poison gas prior to their incursions into the Gaza Strip.

The source explained that the IOF had attempted to penetrate the Gaza Strip four hours after deploying the toxic gas, noting that this strategy was "used in the main areas of operation, specifically in Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun [Gaza]."

This comes after Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Gaza reported that an Israeli infantry unit fell into an ambush set up by the Resistance in Soufa.

Our correspondent confirmed that "the Israeli infantry unit withdrew from Sofa after intense clashes with the Resistance that lasted for 3 hours."

Furthermore, the IOF's spokesperson announced that an Israeli officer was seriously injured as a result of the detonation of an explosive device and that another soldier was injured during confrontations in the northern Gaza Strip.

The Israeli land invasion waged against Gaza along three axes was driven back by the Resistance, which confirmed that the occupation's soldiers suffered casualties in the process.

The Resistance said that the enemy fell into "ambushes prepared by the Palestinian Resistance" and also noted that it expected the occupation to "attempt to invade Gaza again."

EDIT: I erroneously suspected that the source was trying to justify the use of such poison gas, not just detail the atrocity.

Al Mayadeen is resistance media, not cnn or phoney western left ngo trash. The second half has important value because even in spite of using chemical weapons these paper tigers cannot inflict strategic defeats against the Palestinian resistance. The Palestinians are not victims they are resisters each every one.

"Today all those who love the Palestinian Struggle realize that those who wish to diminish the magnitude of the achievements of the Al Aqsa Flood operation by talking exclusively about the massacres in Gaza are defeatists and worse than irrelevant." https://www.almayadeen.net/articles/لا-وقت-للبكاء--المقاومة-تنحر-نتنياهو-على-عتبة-الكنيست

My mistake, then.

I thought by the framing it was somehow trying to justify their use, not just detail the atrocity.
