(The Palestine Chronicle)
“CHANNEL 14: Israeli soldiers injured in the Gaza Strip battles did not receive treatment at Sheba Hospital due to the strike.” and Idan Yerushalmi doesn’t like being bombed by her own “army” (https://x.com/PalestineChron/status/1830691597165699129) – absolutely brilliant. Now those “Israeli” soldiers and poor Idan Yerushalmi, they know what Palestinians suffer by the Zionist Nazi government.
“NETANYAHU: We will respond forcefully to the killing of the six detainees.” – LOLOLOL; will Netanyahu order the “Israeli” army/air force/navy to kill themselves (Hamas must be shaking itself head) or will he spank himself?? Or will Ben-Gvir spank Netanyahu? More likely. Anything, ANYTHING, to fulfill the July 2 agreement.
