Israel at War, Day 376: Netanyahu's Party Invites Israelis to 'Resettling Gaza' Event
IDF says it struck 'strategic weapons' stored by Hezbollah in underground facility in Beirut ■ EU countries contributing to UNIFIL have no intention of pulling back troops despite calls from Israel to withdraw, Austria's FM says ■ IDF says it allowed 50 aid trucks into north Gaza ■ U.K. PM Starmer says his government is considering sanctions against far-right Israeli ministers ■ Here's what you need to know 376 days into the war( snip )
■ PM Netanyahu's Likud party circulated an invitation to an event near the Gaza border titled "Preparing to Settle Gaza." The event, scheduled for next week, will feature the construction of a sukkah as part of a "city of sukkahs" initiative by the Nachala movement, which is known for establishing illegal outposts in the West Bank. Several Likud members as well as government ministers, such as far-right ministers Ben-Gvir and Smotrich, are expected to attend.

Israeli linguistics professor Idan Lando has a blog called "Don't die Stupid" where he is collecting evidence from "non-Hamas sources" about what is happening in north Gaza. It should be a must-read for Israel's apologists and denialists.
There is no bottom to what Israel is willing to inflict on those defenceless, starved Palestinians, in pursuit of cleansing Gaza for the settlers. Since I read it this morning, I am in a state of shock and agitation. I don't understand how this is allowed to continue. Humanity is sleeping, or turning a blind eye. Or it could just be the imposed black-outs and banning of foreign journalists so these crimes against humanity can be done under the cover of darkness.

Some excerpts:
The humanitarian evacuation lie
Contrary to the presentation created by the IDF, as if the residents of the northern Gaza Strip were free to move south and leave the danger zone, the testimonies of the residents painted a startling picture - those who try to evacuate, those who just leave their homes - are shot by IDF snipers or drones, as confirmed by the Doctors Without Borders team " in Jabaliya. Moreover, rescue teams that tried to save people who were shot by snipers - were also shot . On October 9, IDF snipers targeted and hit this girl, IDF drones also targeted and hit and killed white flag bearers. "Quadcopter drones fly low over the streets, shooting at everything that moves," testified a resident of Jablia, "snipers are stationed on the roofs, and aim at anyone who tries to leave. At the same time, soldiers and tanks entered the camp, destroying houses and flattening roads and fields." . A particularly horrifying video circulated on October 19 shows a boy in the northern Gaza Strip who was wounded by sniper fire, lying down and waving for help. Little by little young men approach him, none of them armed, to check his condition. When about 12 people gather there, a missile hits the group and kills them.
This is the reality in which the residents of the Gaza Strip, exhausted and starving, were required to walk into the "humanitarian zone".
....
Hunger from the first day
....
On October 10, Israel shelled the only flour warehouse in northern Gaza. It was not reported before or after that Hamas terrorists were hiding among the loaves of bread. The shelling of a flour warehouse is a school example of a war crime and a significant link in the case against Israel for genocide. On October 14, the IDF shelled a UN food distribution center in Jabaliya, killing 10 people. On October 19, Israel killed four engineers and Oxfam workers who were on their way to repair water infrastructure in the village of Khoza (in the southeast of the Strip, and still relevant to the hunger and thirst policy).
All the aid agencies warn in the harshest terms about the unfolding disaster, warning that they are unable to fulfill their basic role in the impossible conditions that Israel has created in northern Gaza. A new IPC report on the hunger situation in Gaza predicts "catastrophic consequences" for severe malnutrition, especially in the northern Gaza Strip.

So much more.... the "Champions' Plan" is a blueprint for ethnic cleansing. And the reality of its implementation is even worse.
