The Palestine Chronicle is saddened to learn that Abdallah Aljamal, one of its contributors in the Gaza Strip, has been killed in the latest Israeli massacre in the Nuseirat refugee camp.

In an update on Sunday, Gaza’s Health Ministry said 274 Palestinians were killed - up from 210 it reported on Saturday - and 698 were injured when Israeli force stormed into the densely populated al-Nuseirat camp.

US role in Nuseirat refugee camp operation under scrutiny amidst denial | Janta Ka Reporter
A video documenting the escort of occupation soldiers to the prisoner who was liberated in Nuseirat, Noua Arjmani, and her rescue near the military floating dock via helicopter..
I believe that the picture is beginning to become clear about the goal and purpose of this floating dock - a purely military goal - what we know so far.
-The dock is equipped with a C-RAM system to intercept drones or any aerial targets or threats.
-The United States helped the occupation forces to liberate the four prisoners - whether through intelligence, cyber, or other information - and now it also appears that the port is being used for the purposes of securing the occupation forces...?
The question remains, since the military pier under the name “humanitarian” was built by the American army, is any attack on it considered an attack on the sovereignty of the United States of America??
Will there be pictures of the bodies of some of the prisoners who were killed yesterday during the process of liberating a number of their prisoners in Nusayrat???

Condemning Israeli Nuseirat Massacre, Euro-Med Monitor Calls for Investigation into Use of US Pier for Military Purposes
The massacre carried out by the Israeli army today, Saturday, in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the central Gaza Strip is strongly condemned by Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor. Grave concern is also expressed over reports that Israel may have used for military purposes the US pier intended for transporting humanitarian supplies to Gaza.
According to a US official cited by the US website Axios, a US "hostage cell" backed the Israeli attempts to free the four prisoners who were being held in the Gaza Strip. Israeli media reported that an Israeli truckcarrying Israeli special forces conducting the operation to retrieve the four detainees departed from the vicinity of the US pier off the coast of the Gaza Strip, under the pretense of carrying humanitarian supplies.
========
According to Israeli Army Radio, "the US hostage cell played a decisive role in freeing the hostages”, with“high-precision American technology that had not been used before in the process of freeing the hostages." Prior to the incident, video footage of the truck and a Caddy vehicle were released at the time of the breach.
The rules of international humanitarian law state that it is illegal to gain the trust of an adversary through actions that lead them to believe they are entitled to protection or must provide it, with the intent to betray that confidence, resulting in their death or injury.
This includes simulation of civilian status, using civilian transportation or vehicles designated for humanitarian aid, or wearing civilian attire or attire of humanitarian relief workers as cover (such as White Helmet terrorists in Syria 💡) . The Rome Statute of the International Criminal Court classifies treacherously killing or wounding as a war crime.

These civilian trucks were used for military purposes related to the operation to liberate prisoners in Nusseirat yesterday..
This type of truck is usually used by residents of the Gaza Strip for various purposes — including transporting humanitarian aid, their belongings, or helping them navigate displacement.
It is likely - and likely - that the occupation army stole this truck from within the Gaza Strip and then prepared it and used it in the operation.
Israeli occupation forces disguised as humanitarian aid workers shot dead Palestinian teacher Nahla Ayesha in the head as she was walking in the market of Al-Nuseirat refugee camp.

Israeli special forces arrived in central Nuseirat in a truck disguised as humanitarian aid. Raed Tawfiq Abu Youssef, who was keeping watch at the hospital over his critically injured son, stated that his cousin observed the Israeli team arriving in the truck along with a car.

Speaking on ABC News on Sunday, Sullivan swiftly blamed the murder of civilians at the hands of the IOF on Hamas.

"Leaving the government is a complex and painful decision," he said. However, he rescinded his sorrow by underlining that the Israeli regime was dealing hesitantly with existential issues based on the political interests of a few.
Gantz also acknowledged the failure to secure the release of Israeli captives from Gaza. He emphasized that "true victory prioritizes the return of hostages over political considerations."
Highlighting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's role in obstructing a genuine victory, Gantz admitted that "there will be no quick and easy victory," and warned that "the war will continue for years."
Addressing Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant directly, Gantz urged him to "be brave and do what needs to be done," implying that Gallant should resign from the government.
Netanyahu swiftly responded to Gantz, urging him to reconsider and telling him that this was not the time to "abandon the battle".
In response to Gantz's resignation from the government, Police Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir urged Netanyahu to include him in the cabinet. Ben-Gvir 🤡 criticized the current cabinet, stating, "The concept cabinet has brought Israel to this point by sidelining senior ministers in the government. Enough is enough."

From North to South, ‘Israel’ isolated, cornered, and dealt blows
“Israel” is losing the battle of public opinion as its ongoing atrocities against Palestinians in the Gaza Strip are being exposed daily, reflected in a plummeting approval rate of its actions by citizens of its biggest ally, the United States.
A March survey conducted by Gallup found that the majority of people in the US (55%) now disapprove of “Israel’s” actions in Gaza, compared with 45% in November 2023, while the approval percentage has significantly dropped from 50% to 36%.
This comes as the Israeli occupation forces have so far killed almost 39,000 people since the start of the genocidal war on Gaza on October 7, 2023.
But the results of the aforementioned survey are not just figures posted online. In fact, they can be attributed to “Israel’s” diplomatic, legal, and military failure in the now-eight-months war.

"Israeli terrorist army committed another horrible massacre against innocent civilians, and there is evidence proving Washington's complicity in this massacre and in all war crimes committed in Gaza," the ministry added.
No words can come close to describing the scale of Zionist barbarity, which has been recognized by both the International Court of Justice and the International Criminal Court (ICC), the statement adds.
