An analysis of battlefield videos released by Hamas and interviews with three Hamas members and scores of Israeli soldiers

Using civilian homes and infrastructure — including medical facilities, U.N. offices and mosques — to conceal fighters, tunnel entrances, booby-traps and ammunition stores;
Ambushing Israeli soldiers with small groups of fighters dressed as civilians, as well as using civilians, including children, to act as lookouts;

The video seems to show Hamas fighters, their faces blurred, sitting on patterned mats as they plan the attack. They use pen, paper and a digital tablet to draw simplistic maps detailing where they want to plant a set of roadside mines.
“We ask, O Lord, for the ambush to achieve its goals — let us kill your enemies, the Jews,” the narrator says.

 

Hezbollah MP and parliamentary bloc leader Mohammad Raad sparked controversy on social media when he called some Lebanese "reckless" and accused them of caring only about their comfort and relaxation, criticizing them for "going to the beach and nightclubs while the south is under attack."

Lebanese Forces announce MP Pierre Bou Assi responded to Raad on X saying, “You classify Lebanese according to your taste. Who exactly are these vile people you're talking about? If you have the audacity, name them. And who authorized you to defend us outside the state and as representatives of the people? With all due respect, explain to us how you're defending Lebanon and supporting Gaza? All of Lebanon is collapsing due to your policies and your illusory and destructive divine victories. Have you strengthened any economic or social resilience in Lebanon? Do you think your Iranian rockets will feed the people?”

The French source mentioned in the posted article - https://www.leparisien.fr/faits-divers/enquete-sur-un-viol-a-caractere-antisemite-dune-jeune-fille-de-12-ans-a-courbevoie-trois-ados-interpelles-18-06-2024-LDCLJSU4NFFQZJXQTOFSJ5GWCI.php

"Un deuxième mineur aurait confié aux policiers avoir frappé la jeune fille au motif qu’elle aurait eu de mauvaises paroles à propos de la Palestine."

He has never been part of Israel's government.
Like I wrote in another comment, he was 36th on the Likud's list 10 years ago, and later founded a party that didn't even get 1 mandate.

The "original zionists" were socialist and communists who tried to do things in the way of cooperation and peace, and were a defensive group.
The offensive groups splintered off the original one after Arab riots and massacres of Jews.

A politician who got the 36th position in the Likud list 10 years ago.
The party he founded after that didn't get even 1 mandate.

It's because Ben Gvir and Smotrich wanted to join now that Gantz is gone.
It's still being convened, just not officialy and not as a "war cabinet".

"Staff from the Israel Antiquities Authority aided in the investigation of the incident in Be'eri, and Haaretz received the IAA's findings. The archaeologists divided the structure into 13 sectors and each one was excavated, and its remains carefully screened, by a team that also included soldiers, in an effort to find body parts. Remnants of the munitions that were fired were examined by a ballistics expert.

The IAA inquiry ruled out the claim that the firing of the second shell "ended the incident" by bringing about the death of the hostages. Concentrations of bodily remains were found in two places – in the kitchen/dining corner and the living room. The shell apparently struck the attic, which was separated from the living area below by a concrete ceiling. According to the archaeologists' investigation, the ceiling remained intact, and therefore "the shrapnel did not penetrate the kitchen through the ceiling." In both arenas there were casings from a Kalashnikov rifle, which the terrorists used. Accordingly, the IAA's conclusions are that "the firing was executed from inside the structure" and that "the area in which human remains were found was not damaged by outside fire." "

Sporadic? They've been bombing Israel daily since the 8th of October. Some of those leading to fires all over the north of Israel.
Just yesterday they launched over 200 rockets plus drones.

Hezbollah has already started a war with Israel.

You didn't even need to use that conflict as an example. Most Israelis are brown.

So to you all Israeli Jews, Druze and Bedouin can be kidnapped and killed for being born on "stolen Palestinian land"?

Hamas was the government of Gaza. You couldn't get anything in there without it getting through Hamas anyway.
They sure managed to get a lot of weapons and rockets in there, and enough building materials for massive underground tunnels.

And your dear Al-Jazeera has an article from 2017 that says Qatari money actually did help Gaza Analysts: Qatar supports Gaza not Hamas
Are they also Zionist propaganda now?

Hamas is a branch of the Muslim Brotherhood. It wasn't "invented" by Israel. And Israel didn't fund them, but it's true that Bibi let Qatar money reach Hamas when he could've blocked it.
The belief among some of the ones who supported that, was that better conditions of life in Gaza would prevent them from going to another war - An article about it from 2015
