A Palestinian resistance IED strike on a Merkava tank eliminated a Zionist senior commander, Colonel Ehsan Daqsa (commander of the "401st Armored Brigade"), in the Jabaliya refugee camp. Snip:

Colonel Ehsan Daqsa, 41, was killed after his tank and another tank were hit by explosive devices during military operations in Jabalia refugee camp.

Another Israeli soldier was seriously wounded during the same incident.

Daqsa has been described in Israeli media as one of the most senior officers to have been killed since the war on Gaza began over a year ago.

    I feel like I've seen this one. quite a few times, even! Let me guess: literally no infantry were around protecting the armor at all, and so some guy in flipflops was able climb out of a hole dug into the ground, run up, put a idf-destroyer on it, and then jump back into the hole in the ground, while taking no fire in doing so.

    How close was I?

    In regards to this piece of trash:

    Earlier this year, he ordered the destruction of the Canada Well water facility, which supplied 50% of the water in southern Gaza’s Rafah governorate, where much of the population had evacuated.

    Wow, I hope you burn in hell you disgusting piece of trash.

    Love how their soldiers are either a 21 year old major general in charge of posting images of IOF soldiers rifling through underwear drawers for propaganda purposes, or a 40 year old Colonel who is commanding a force of multiple heavy brigades because he's the only one familiar with advanced concepts like "flanking".

    Meanwhile, Israeli settlers held a conference near the border with Gaza, with the Israeli army allowing them to set up tents for the Jewish festival of Sukkot.

    Haaretz reported that the "Preparing to resettle Gaza" conference, organised by the Nachala Settlement Movement which establishes illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, set up 50 sukkah tents and were set to sleep in them on Sunday night.

    The tents were erected in a closed military area near Kibbutz Be'eri.

    Nachala said last week that the conference was "planned not only as a theoretical conference, but as a practical exercise and practical preparation for resettlement in Gaza."

    "The return to settlement in Gaza is no longer an idea, but a move that is currently in an advanced stage with the support of the government and the public," it added.

    Hope they get blown to pieces.
