Some people, communicating via satellite phones, have described the attack as the “heaviest bombardment yet,” according to independent journalist Sharif Kouddous.

“People can’t call ambulances or civil defense. We are being bombed in an unprecedented manner,” said an unidentified journalist at a Gaza hospital, according to a translation by The Nation’s Palestinian correspondent, Mohammed El-Kurd. “The sky around us just lights up [with explosions], and no one knows what’s going on.”

    Sounds great, but really that’ll just be the pre-october 7 blockaded Gaza situation but with UN soldiers watching Hamas not pull any shit.

      I would imagine with a large enough peace keeping force the pretense for the blockaid would be voided if the eventual outcome would be a binding agreement as I stated elsewhere in the thread. As people love to state, the purpose of Hamas is to destroy Israel. If the accepted outcome of whatever agreement is reached is to be final regardless, then a new incoming government under a democratic framework would be needed quickly as Hamas would be irrelevant.

      Also, who knows what that agreement means for rules or reformations placed on Israels government as well. With a fresh start for both, perhaps the people can move on.

        Wait, are you suggesting a UN force dismantles the state of Israel? Why would they agree to that?

        There’s no nation willing to commit enough troops to stop Hamas from starting shit in Gaza.

        Also, who knows what that agreement means for rules or reformations placed on Israels government as well. With a fresh start for both, perhaps the people can move on.

        It’s unrealistic to believe that any ceasefire is going to come with restrictions on Israel government as militarily their the dominant force in the conflict.
