Israeli troops have entered Nasser Medical Complex, the hospital in southern Gaza where thousands of displaced Palestinians had been sheltering in recent days, Gaza’s health ministry and the Israeli military said on Thursday.

Ashraf al-Qudra, the health ministry’s spokesman, said in a statement that the Israeli military had demolished the complex’s southern wall and begun storming it. In a second statement, he said Israeli forces were targeting the hospital’s orthopedic department, killing one patient and injuring several others.

The Israeli military said in its own statement on Thursday morning that it was “conducting a precise and limited operation inside Nasser” against Hamas, which it accused of hiding in the hospital among wounded civilians. It said it had intelligence, including from released hostages, that Hamas had held hostages at the hospital and that bodies of hostages could be at the hospital.

    Plenty of insurgencies have been ‘solved’ effectively by violence. A lot more actually. And in this case, a peaceful solution is almost impossible because at its roots it’s a religious conflict.

      If by ‘solved effectively by violence’ you mean ‘genocided’ or ‘ethnically cleansed’ then yes. Is that what you’re suggesting is proper and good?

        Proper and good?? No, it’s horrible.

        In the case of Western-Sahara though, the threat of extreme violence was enough to pacify the resistance without any political concessions.

        But my main point here is that because of religious differences, both zionist and muslim fundamentalists will never be able to peacefully coexist, as they believe god doesn’t want them to. And there are plenty of them on both sides

          Unfortunately true, and we’re arming one side currently. I want no holy wars, but I definitely don’t want to be allied to a belligerent to one.

          Hadn’t heard of the Western Sahara case before, thanks for the reading 👍
