Specific features of the war in Gaza

July 27, 2024

While Prime Minister Netanyahu was giving his speech in the US Congress, US flags and pictures of the Prime Minister were burned outside. Maybe not all the protesters there know what the war in Gaza is like, so here is a small picture/video compilation from the last few days. The excerpt also helps to explain the difficulty and slowness of the war from an Israeli point of view:

Due to significant terrorist activity and rocket fire directed from the eastern part of the Gaza Humanitarian Area (al-Mawasi) towards the State of Israel, staying in this area has become dangerous. Accordingly, the humanitarian area is currently being adjusted.

In Gaza City, weapons can be found in ordinary apartment buildings.

As well as other ordinary apartments, the one below from Gaza City:

In Khan Yunis, Hamas fired rockets from a sheltered area. A failed launch landed near an UNRWA school, killing two civilians and injuring many; the wounded were taken to the Dier al Balah field hospital, coordinated by the IDF and the WHO.

In Rafah, Hamas terrorists are targeting the humanitarian route, and the schoolyard also had a tunnel entrance again.

In Rafah, a tunnel opening and weapons were found in the children’s bedroom.

In Tulkarm (Länsiranta), a medical person carries an AK-47 instead of a first aid kit. The situation in Gaza is familiar, as ambulances are often used there for military transport.

The IDF was able to return the bodies of five kidnapped Israelis from Gaza. Kindergarten teacher Maya Goren was murdered while in captivity, while four soldiers were killed on 7/10 and their bodies transported to Gaza.

The bodies of the five hostages were recovered in southern Gaza. Clockwise from top left: Tomer Ahimas, Ravid Katz, Oren Goldin, Maya Goren and Kiril Brodski.


Congress speech

Prime Minister Netanyahu had brought a few heroes of the Gaza war as guests in his congressional speech to show the versatility of the Israeli army. In the picture, on the right, in uniform, is a tank lieutenant who lost his right hand and left eye in the war and returned to the war as the head of a tank company; next to him an immigrant of Ethiopian background who, in the absence of a car, took his gun and ran eight miles to the Gaza border to save civilians 7/10, second from the right a member of the Muslim community of Bedouin background who initially fought off terrorists in the territory of his own kibbutz and then went to do the same in a neighboring kibbutz and the gentleman in civilian clothes on the right lost his right leg in Gaza but is returned to war again.

Also present during the speech was Noa Argamani, who was released alive from the clutches of Hamas in connection with Operation Arnon. All those who participated received a standing ovation from the congress. The Prime Minister’s emotional, powerful congress speech is below in its entirety, the speech lasted about an hour and the introduction of the aforementioned war heroes started at about 12 minutes:
