Very sad- Israel is bombing Rafah during Superbowl

Rep Jamaal Bowman NY
“While we watched the Super Bowl, Netanyahu launched a wave of attacks and killed innocent civilians in Rafah - a place where many refugees fled for relative safety - despite warnings from Biden.”

“The Israeli military is bombing Rafah, the most densely populated area in the world, while Americans watch the Super Bowl. This is intentional. This is genocide.

We're demanding the world watching the #superbowl  turn their eyes to #Rafah. #alleyesongaza #CeasefireNOW”

“Israel told a million Palestinian civilians to seek refuge in Rafah, the designated ‘safe place’.

Israel is now intensely bombing Rafah through air, land and sea, in the middle of the night.

This is a genocide.”

"Houthi rebels vow fierce retaliation after American and British strikes against them"

(this is a big threat to US troops in Middle East)

"DUBAI, United Arab Emirates (AP) — Yemen’s Houthi rebels vowed fierce retaliation Friday for American and British strikes against them, further raising the prospect of a wider conflict in a region already beset by Israel’s war in Gaza.

The bombardment — launched in response to a recent campaign of drone and missile attacks on commercial ships in the vital Red Sea — killed at least five people and wounded six, the Houthis said. The U.S. said the strikes took aim at more than 60 targets in 16 different locations across Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen.

As the bombing lit the predawn sky over multiple sites held by the Iranian-backed rebels, it forced the world to again focus on Yemen’s yearslong war, which began when the Houthis seized the country’s capital.'

“A mother, Mrs. Nahida Khalil Anton, and her daughter, Samar Kamal Anton, were killed, and others were wounded by the shooters while they were going to the bathroom,” said the Pope.”

“"The Convent is home to over 54 disabled persons and is part of the church compound, which was signalled as a place of worship since the beginning of the war," said the Patriarchate.”

“A mother, Mrs. Nahida Khalil Anton, and her daughter, Samar Kamal Anton, were killed, and others were wounded by the shooters while they were going to the bathroom,” said the Pope.
“Some say, ‘This is terrorism. This is war.’ Yes, it is war. It is terrorism,” he said. “That is why the Scripture affirms that ‘God stops wars… breaks the bow, splinters the spear’ (Psalm 46:10). Let us pray to the Lord for peace.”

“ Two more rockets reportedly rendered the convent uninhabitable for the 54 people with disabilities for whom the Sisters of Mother Theresa were caring”

CNN's Clarissa Ward - in Gaza

https://x.com/yashar/status/1735169631189713238?s=46&t=YZgyyp4w_z7vW3neKxa6cQ

CNN's @clarissaward becomes the first Western journalist to independently gain access to Gaza by entering an Emirati field hospital.

Her first full piece is embedded in this post.
Clarissa reports that Emirati doctors are overwhelmed by the number of children they’re treating.

In previewing this report, Clarissa described what she witnessed as "harrowing, chilling, and sobering. You get an absolute sense of the horrors that have been taking place in Gaza. This hospital was filled with the youngest victims of this war. Children who have been disfigured, who are in full body casts, and who are covered in burns."

Heartbreaking - journalist loses entire family

The moment Aljazeera Journalist Momen Al-Sharafi breaks the news that his entire family of 21 members were just killed in an Israeli Airstrike in #Gaza.
