Update: Today, a team from the Gaza water utility managed to access the site and document the destruction left by Israeli forces last week. They sent me the following images. The soldiers left the name of their unit on the burned facility “Spearhead Unit, 90th Battalion”
In retrospect, we uncovered a new video showing them celebrating the torching of the only remaining sewage facility in N Gaza, funded with £19.7 million by Germany before burning an engraved Israeli flag on it background music & captioned: “When you leave, you leave a keepsake”

New Details | They told us: "You will die" We dug more into this case and obtained testimony from the only known survivor of the incident. According to G, a wheelchair-bound man from Beit Lahiya who was detained alongside Nadi and Ali and witnessed the events, Ali Marouf, Nadi Marouf, and Um Yahya Marouf, Nadi’s disabled sister, were forcibly disappeared by Israeli forces in November last year. No explanation was ever provided for their detention. G said he first encountered them at the initial military position where soldiers were holding all of them. During their captivity, they were denied food, water, and access to a toilet, forced to sleep on the floor, and beaten with rifle butts and boots. The woman were spared from the beating part. According to the testimony, G was dragged out of his wheelchair and beaten on the ground along with Ali and Nadi, sustaining injuries that still affect him a year later. At one point, an officer identified as the unit’s doctor told the detainees that they would be handed over to the Red Cross for evacuation to southern Gaza. “I was relieved to hear that,” G recalled. “But they lied to us.” Instead, the group was driven in a military jeep to a sandy road near a junction in northern Beit Lahiya. When they asked when the Red Cross would arrive, the medical officer replied: “No Red Cross yalla, drag your wheelchairs to the south.” The unit commander then told them in a calm tone and plainly, “You are going to die.” According to G, this statement was made on two separate occasions. After being forced to move several hundred meters, the group was taken by another unit into a school being used as a military base they were held there for some hours. Inside, they saw another Palestinian being forced to perform tasks for the stationed soldiers. Later that evening, the detainees were released. Ali was exhausted and struggled to move, so Nadi alternated between pushing Um Yahya’s wheelchair and G’s one, moving only a few meters at a time through the sand. According to G, after only some hundred meters, a shell was suddenly fired at them, followed immediately by heavy bullets. Ali and Nadi were both killed instantly. The scene was so brutal that G saw some parts of Nadi’s remains on his wheelchair, Nadi was dragging UM Yahya’s wheelchair when the attack started. “I don’t know why and how I survived,” he said. G then left Um Yahya who also survived the incident, who was unable to move her wheelchair, and pushed his own down the sandy road, shouting for help to retrieve Um Yahya and the bodies of Ali and Nadi. We can reveal that Um Yahya was recently killed in a separate Israeli military attack. G remains the only known survivor. The soldiers hve also stolen the group’s phones and money and never returned them back.
تفاصيل جديدة | بعد بحث أكثر في هذه القضية، وصلنا إلى الناجي الوحيد من حدث الاعدام. يقول الشاب (غ)، وهو من ذوي الإعاقة من بيت لاهيا ويستخدم كرسيًا متحركًا، إنه تم اختطافه إلى جانب نادي (أبو إياد) وعلي (أبو محمد)، وشاهد بنفسه ما جرى. وفقًا لشهادته، فإن الحاج علي معروف ونادي معروف وأم يحيى معروف (شقيقة نادي، وتستخدم أيضًا كرسيًا متحركًا) تم إخفاؤهم قسريًا على يد القوات الإسرائيلية في نوفمبر من العام الماضي، دون أي تفسير لاعتقالهم. يقول «ج»: “التقيت بهم لأول مرة في الموقع العسكري الأول، حيث كان الجنود يحتجزوننا جميعًا.” خلال فترة الاحتجاز، حُرم المعتقلون من الطعام والماء واستخدام المرحاض، وأُجبروا على النوم على الأرض، وتعرّضوا للضرب المبرح بأعقاب البنادق والأحذية العسكرية. ويضيف «ج» أن الجنود سحبوه من كرسيه المتحرك وطرحوه أرضًا مع بقية الرجال، حيث انهالوا عليهم بالضرب المبرح، ما تسبّب له بإصابات لا يزال يعاني آثارها حتى اليوم، بعد مرور عام على الحادثة. في مرحلة لاحقة، أخبرهم ضابط و هو طبيب الوحدة أنهم سيُسلَّمون إلى الصليب الأحمر لإجلائهم إلى جنوب غزة. يروي «ج»: “شعرت بالارتياح عندما سمعت ذلك، لكنهم كذبوا علينا.” لم يتم تسليمهم، نُقلت المجموعة في جيب عسكري إلى طريق رملي قرب دوّار في شمال بيت لاهيا. وعندما سألوا عن موعد وصول الصليب الأحمر، أجاب الضابط الطبي ساخرًا: “ما في صليب أحمر… يلا، اسحبوا كراسيكم وامشوا للجنوب.” ثم قال قائد الوحدة بنبرة هادئة وواضحة لهم: “أنتم ستموتون.” ويؤكد «غ» أن القائد كرّر هذه العبارة مرتين على الأقل في حدثين منفصلين بعد أن أُجبروا على السير لمسافة مئات الأمتار، اقتادتهم وحدة أخرى إلى مدرسة كانت تُستخدم كقاعدة عسكرية، واحتُجزوا هناك لبضع ساعات. في الداخل، شاهدوا فلسطينيًا معتقلاً آخر أُجبر على تنفيذ مهام للجنود. في وقت لاحق من المساء، أُطلق سراح المجموعة. كان الحاج علي على ما يبدو مرهقًا جدًا ويكافح من أجل الحركة، بينما كان نادي أبو إياد يتناوب على دفع كرسييّ أم يحيى و(غ)، محاولًا التقدم بهم أمتارًا قليلة في كل مرة فوق الرمال الثقيلة. يقول «غ»: “بعد مسافة لا تتجاوز بضع مئات من الأمتار، أُطلقت علينا قذيفة فجأة، تلاها إطلاق نار كثيف. قُتل علي ونادي على الفور. كان المشهد مروّعًا، رأيت أجزاء من جسد نادي على كرسيه المتحرك.” ويتابع: “لا أعرف لماذا أو كيف نجوت.” اضطر «غ» إلى ترك أم يحيى التي نجت من القصف لكنها لم تتمكن من تحريك كرسيها، ودفع كرسيه على الطريق الرملي وهو يصرخ طلبًا للمساعدة للعودة وإنقاذها واستعادة جثتي علي ونادي. أم يحيى قُتلت لاحقًا في هجوم عسكري إسرائيلي منفصل. ويبقى «غ» الناجي الوحيد المعروف من تلك الحادثة. كما استولى الجنود على هواتف المعتقلين وأموالهم، ولم تُعاد لهم مطلقًا
Exclusive: Egypt and UK to train New Palestinian Legal Officials Ahead of new Gaza administration The Palestinian Ministry of Justice has nominated and contacted two dozen legal figures originally from Gaza to take part in a UK-funded training program in Egypt in the upcoming weeks, as part of an initial post-war plan to establish a new judicial framework in the Gaza Strip, a source at the ministry tells me. According to the source, the selected candidates are set to begin a comprehensive legal training which would last a month. The program, organized in coordination with the Egyptian authorities, is designed to prepare the legal officials to serve in what they were told will be a new “referee body” a jurisdictional structure intended to replace the former Hamas-appointed justice system in Gaza. Upon completion of the course, Egypt is expected to oversee the entry of the new legal practitioners into Gaza. The Ministry of Justice has vetted the names and informed the selected candidates, though it remains undecided whether they will officially operate under the Palestinian Authority’s employment framework.

Yifat has been missing since the morning hours. Her vehicle was found in recent hours at a beach in Tel Aviv. The Israeli police have launched a search operation, and a special command center has been established. Report by [@kann_news]
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.

Colonel Shaul Israeli, IDF’s 7th armored brigade commander explains on an interview with Israeli channel 12 aired yesterday the logic of Operation Gideon Chariots: “you see an obliterated space, rather than all sorts of islands [of destruction]”

“We must not rest and must give our all to destroy as many buildings as possible” , referring to Shujjaiya Here are some excerpts from a book I finished reading some months ago. It’s called “Now It’s Our Turn” (in Hebrew) by a platoon commander from a combat eng unit.
Same Lt.Col “This is entirely a tactical matter,” A. explained about the systematic destruction. “To give us freedom of action, and so the enemy won’t appear where we don’t expect them we have to destroy. That’s how you operate in such a densely urban environment.” In other words: if the political event in New York before Yom Kippur does not lead to a ceasefire soon, the IDF intends to flatten Shati, a thoroughly Gazan neighborhood.” makorrishon.co.il/news/defen…

Oh, absolutely, Ya Abu Elkana, because nothing screams "effective problem-solving" in the Kach ideology like calling to rape people. Like father, like son
Yes. This is my son and he is a hero. Come to Israel, so we can let our dogs, to take care of you.

This man is the son of Noam Federman, a known extremist and former leader of the Kach Party which was designated as a terrorist organization by the US and Noam himself is sanctioned by the UK. Search him up. I’m honestly shocked that Germany allowed war criminals sons of terrorists into their country.
This guy is in Berlin.

Photo of abducted Palestinians in the West Bank, posted this morning by Elkana Federman, the IDF terrorist son of Kahanist terrorist Noam Federman of Hebron, one of Rabbi Meir Kahane's original followers and a one of the leaders of Judeo-Nazi movement Kach. Elkana himself became famous for being the head of security at Nova Festival on October 7th. His father Noam is under sanctions by the UK for training terrorist settler groups. His brother, Ely Federman is also under sanctions for anti-Palestinian terrorism.

@ireallyhateyou wrote a lot of his war crimes
Deranged Kahanist settler-soldier Elkana Federman continues to abuse Palestinian abductees in the West Bank, as part of his army service. This time he set a dog on a frightened, cuffed and blindfolded abductee. I don't want to imagine what this Judeo-Nazi sicko does off-camera.
