In recent days, amid the escalation between Lebanon and Israel, the IDF have stepped up a campaign of large-scale demolitions targeting homes of displaced families in Gaza, w focus in the south
This campaign included destruction of several schools, among them a UN school (today)

Q: Who is Boaz Tamam?
Long story, but you must read it
He is the one speaking below:
“Reisch Force… carry on until the whole of Lebanon is flattened, just as you did in Gaza.”
Who is “Reisch Force,”: He is referring to the D9 Ad Hoc Givati Team led by the genocidal Major Netanel Reisch, a former settler of the Gaza Strip, alongside his murderous, bloodthirsty Captain Avraham Zarveev. They demolished thousands of homes in Gaza
If there is any field commander people should know by name, an officer with deep personal involvement in this genocide, second only perhaps to Maj. Nikolai Ashurov of the paramedics massacre, it is this man.
I am not making allegations. These are established facts. I studied these officers more deeply than anything else in the past years
Boaz Tamam is the deputy battalion commander of the 9th Battalion. He was injured and losing a leg in Lebanon in the past days by Hezbollah, yet remains as genocidal as he ever was, a bloodthirsty commander. Many do not know the full extent of what he led, though he is better known internally for his former role in 2024, when he commanded the Raiders Company within the Tzabar Battalion. He was also involved in the raid on Al-Awda Hospital, where the blessed Surgeon Dr. Adnan Al-Bursh was abducted and later tortured to death in prison.
He was one of the direct field commanders responsible for the slaughter of dozens of people in Kamal Adwan Hospital on October 25, 2025.
He was also one of the commanders responsible in the killing of 10 Palestinians trying to flee Jabalia on November 25, 2025.
He was involved in the killing of 33 Palestinians at Awni Al-Harthani School in Jabalia on November 27, 2024.
He was also involved in the killing of 60 Palestinians at Khalil Al-Weida School in Beit Hanoun on December 15, 2025.
And in the burning of school compounds such as Hamad bin Khalifa, Aleppo School, and Kuwait School in Jabalia.
I interviewed one of his soldiers, who told me that he was ordered the destruction of neighborhoods so that Palestinians would have nothing to return to.
He personally—yes, personally, with his own face visible—commanded the use of multiple civilians (some are dead) as human shields in Jabalia.
I do not cherish violence at all. period, no matter who it is directed at. But after 2.5 years of everything in Gaza, I will make an exception. This man is a legitimate military target and has now tasted his own medicine. A truly despicable person, whose own hands are soaked in the blood of so many innocents.

A storm..
IDF’s Chief Military Advocate, Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi the very official responsible for prosecuting violations of international law within the Israeli army reportedly told the IDF Chief of Staff this morning in her resignation letter that she had personally approved the release of the video showing Israeli soldiers raping a Palestinian detainee last year.
According to reports, she explained that the decision came after relentless (right-wing ) interference when investigators tried to enter Sde Teiman military prison, following the conditions there and the latest rape incident that came into their knowledge, interference led by Israeli ministers, journalists, and political figures who launched a vicious campaign against the military prosecution office and even stormed her base.
Let’s be clear: Maj. Gen. Yifat Tomer-Yerushalmi has never done her basic job to investigate the genocide unfolding under her watch. She approved it. She turned a blind eye again and again. But when confronted with evidence of mass rape against Palestinian detainees at Sde Teiman, she seems to have realized just how deep the moral collapse of Israel had gone and tried, at the very last moment, to do something. Not out of empathy for the victims or concern over the violations themselves, she didn’t care about that, but because she was trying to shield IDF soldiers by symbolic discpline and limit Israel’s exposure to international accountability: potential arrest warrants, sanctions, war crime investigations, and legal isolation.
For the tiniest act of doing 0.00000001% of the job she was appointed to do, today IDF chief of staff kicked her out.
Because in today’s Israel, even the faintest move toward fake accountability from within the IDF is treated as treason.
There is no law in the IDF.. No moral code just propaganda carefully repackaged and sold by some Western mainstream outlets to sanitize what’s happening.

Overnight, Israeli troops carried out a large-scale campaign of setting fire to huge amount of civilian homes and infrastructure before families returned to it in northern Gaza.
It appears to have been the most extensive mass arson operation since the genocide began.

Alian Kdeeh, 95 years old, on a wheelchair was killed today by Israeli forces near Beni Suheila in Khan Younis.
He was older than the state of Israel itself. He lived through British colonial rule, survived decades of oppression, and just a month ago saw his hometown reduced to rubble. Today, his life was ended by the Israeli military.

12 foreign aid workers risking their lives and crossing the risky sea to feed starving civilians, and how are they described?
“The flotilla of antisemites.”
Not humanitarians. But Enemies.
Israel’s response? Mobilize elite forces. Treat it like a sophisticated military operation.
Because in the eyes of the occupier, even mercy and humanity is a threat that must be neutralized.
This is how far Israel has sunk:
It sees diapers and milk as a weapon,
and compassion as an act of war

No one in Gaza says “Yisrok ohe.” In our region, the hard “k” pronunciation only appears among the Druze or Palestinian citizens of Israel from the Galilee. Residents of Gaza pronounce it with a “g.” People from Gaza can confirm this.
Furthermore, the audio provides no evidence—just a random call between an intelligence officer and an alleged alien they claim is from Gaza. I can make a similar video in higher quality.
It’s frankly laughable.

A Prophecy, Yizhar — and you saw it coming before anyone else.
Israeli writer Yizhar Smilansky, himself an IDF soldier at the time, wrote Khirbet Khizeh in 1949 as a moral outcry in the immediate aftermath of the Nakba. Seventy-six years later, in 2025, his words returned as an eerie echo—played out, almost step for step, in a village bearing exactly the same name. What he once imagined in fiction unfolded again in fire and ruin 76 years later
The Annihilation of Khirbet Khizeh
In 1949, S. Yizhar—writing under a pen name—published Khirbet Khizeh, a haunting novella that captured a moment of moral collapse. It told the story of a Palestinian village emptied by Israeli soldiers, told through the voice of a young narrator who is at once participant and witness, obedient and disturbed. Though the tale begins with the words, “It all happened a long time ago,” it reads as prophecy—a grim warning of what follows when violence is met with silence, and when power learns to destroy without doubt.
“It wasn’t war. It was eviction. And we knew it.” These words reverberate through time, a chilling foreshadowing of a horror that would resurface decades later in even more brutal forms. What was once a fictional yet searing depiction of loss has since become reality—an unbroken thread of suffering linking past to present.
Today, the village of Khizaa stands not just as a memory, but as a devastated reality. The prophecy of Yizhar’s narrative has been fulfilled in flesh and blood—through systematic annihilation. After October 7, soldiers entered with orders not merely to displace, but to erase. These orders, by all accounts, were explicitly issued by Meir Duvdevani and Dor Yoetz
Homes were flattened. Mosques and schools were blown into the earth, and soldiers—echoing the eerie calm of Yizhar’s narrator’s unit—lounged on rooftops smoking shisha while dozens of homes exploded beneath them. In January 2024, amid this devastation, they chanted, “There will be no more Friday prayers,” as if to seal a spiritual death alongside the physical one
A child on a bicycle, carrying a jug of water, was targeted and bombed without hesitation. A professor of law was also killed in his own home, reduced from intellect to ash. Women were shot in the head at close range as they attempted to return to the village. These were not collateral tragedies. These were choices. Cold. Clinical. Calculated
Yizhar’s narrator in his book 76 years ago struggled with his conscience, whispering, “I didn’t want to think about it… But something inside wouldn’t stop.” In Khizaa, even that internal resistance seems to have vanished. What was once done with trembling hands is now carried out with hardened indifference.
This is not the fog of war. This is the machinery of erasure
“They were just peasants. Barefoot. Frightened. What danger were they to us?” This question, posed by the narrator of Khirbet Khizeh, remains agonizingly relevant. The villagers, largely defenseless and passive, bore the full weight of a violent purge carried out with mechanical precision. Their humanity was stripped away, reduced to targets and obstacles in a war of erasure.
The soldiers, once young men brimming with life, became instruments of destruction, their innocence replaced by an addiction to explosions as Meir Duvdevani told his troops in January 2024. Commanders admitted they were hooked on the violence that had become their reality—ten days and later last month in thirteen days of leveling everything in sight, turning a living community into nothing but rubble and smoke
The narrator’s inner turmoil in Khirbet Khizeh—“You feel the pain, but you go on. You know it’s wrong, but you obey.”—reflects the moral fracture of soldiers who carried out orders in 1948. But can the same be said of today’s soldiers? Has that internal struggle survived, or has it withered in silence? Conscience may still lie buried beneath layers of duty, discipline, and dehumanization—but even buried, it leaks 1/2

Attention. (Portuguese below)
“That and also that all the Arabs will d**!
Amen!”
Hello friends,
I am not back yet (hopefully soon), but I want to bring attention to a crime that has taken place on Brazilian territory.
A group of Israeli soldiers/reservists on leave recorded themselves performing genocidal chants and calling for the death of all Arabs.
According to Article 20 of Brazilian Law No. 7.716/1989, it is a crime to “practice, induce, or incite discrimination or prejudice based on race, color, ethnicity, religion, or national origin.” When committed through social media, the penalty ranges from 2 to 5 years in prison.
The Brazilian authorities (including the public persecution and federal police) have been alerted in the state of Bahia about the criminal actions of reservist corporal Shaked Pinchas and her reservist boyfriend Liron Shvartzman, who participated in this offense. Pinchas and Shvartzman are currently in Morro de São Paulo, Cairu municipality.
