Is that a comma for £7879m to Israel? So £7 billion?

Yes - that's pretty much all one single licence for cryptographic equipment.

You're a patronising big fuck for someone whose had the sum total of nothing useful to say so far.

Significant pr damage and international isolation for Israel, also it might make people think twice before, say, sending their kid on a birthright tour

and if they support israel's militant rendition, they don't spiritually hail from the Holy Land any ways - in that case they hark more back to Tulsa Oklahoma.

Yes - that's pretty much all one single licence for cryptographic equipment.

According to this on politics.co.uk:

It's made up of a single licence approval for "equipment employing cryptography and software for equipment employing cryptography" – phone masts, basically.

Dual-use, it is true. Forks are also dual-use.

Footage filmed yards from the journalist who was killed yesterday. Grim, nsfw etc but helps to get a sense of the terrifying nature of the assault and how brave people like the paramedics are.

Deliberately targeting an ambulance?
Must be deliberate as the IDF assure everyone of their "pinpoint munitions"

 

[rekil]

Dunno if they were the target. There are lots of shrapnel casualties so perhaps airburst shells are being used, designed to explode in the air, so there's a wide blast radius and protection offered by walls etc is minimised.

I've been trying to look for reports form all along the strip of land Israel is currently bombing. Here's the first one from Khuza'a (google map)

Survivors of massacre in Khuza’a say Israeli forces used Palestinians as human shields

Khuza’a is a village in the very eastern part of Khan Younis adjacent to the border fence in the southern Gaza strip. Its farmers have faced death almost on a daily basis in the past 7 years as Israeli gunfire has become the norm along the buffer zone between Gaza and Israel.

Following the Shuja’iyeh massacre, Israeli forces invaded Khuza’a with aerial strikes targeting any moving object. Survivors recall with horror that seemingly heavy random tank fire led to the killing of dozens, injuring dozens others.

Over 150 of its residents were arrested by Israeli forces. Most of them were released, others are still in detention. Rescue calls were made live on the local radio stations, as many residents were besieged in their homes, unable to leave. Those who managed to leave came under fire as they were fleeing.

Ayman Abu Toaimah, 32, a resident of Khuza’a recalls, “As Israeli invading troops advanced to the village they besieged it and used residents as human shields. When the Israeli army arrested people and then released some of them, they were told they are free to go back to the village, but as they were fleeing they came under fire and some of them shot dead. These people were used as human shields.”

Abu Saleem, 56, a resident of Khuza’a echoed Abu Toaimah, “Israelis claim that Hamas is using us as human shields– how? This is a lie, we do not see fighters in the streets. It’s them, the Israelis who used us as human shields in Khuza’a andShuja’iyeh. They turned our houses into military posts, terrified residents in the houses. They attacked innocent civilians with their bombs, and missiles, they attacked chicken farms, they burned our crops, they have no mercy.”

What happened in Khuza’a was a massacre. Civilians were killed in their homes and while they were fleeing. Even ambulances were not immune. Paramedics report that Israeli forces stopped ambulances that were trying to reach casualties and tried to arrest a number of wounded. Ambulances came under fire despite the coordination by the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC). Scenes of dead bodies scattered in the streets reminiscent of the Sabra and Shatila massacre that took place in two Palestinian refugee camps in 1982 have begun to leak out of the village.

The air in that street could have been used to fill tunnels. It had to be destroyed. Controls on air crossing the border security fence will take effect next week.
