After 10 years of trying, a Palestinian woman had twins. An Israeli strike killed them both BY WAFAA SHURAFA AND SAMY MAGDY - March 3, 2024 RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — It took 10 years and three rounds of in vitro fertilization for Rania Abu Anza to become pregnant, and only seconds for her to lose her five-month-old twins, a boy and a girl. An Israeli strike hit the home of her extended family in the southern Gaza city of Rafah late Saturday, killing her children, her husband and 11 other relatives and leaving another nine missing under the rubble, according to survivors and local health officials. She had woken up at around 10 p.m. to breastfeed Naeim, the boy, and went back to sleep with him in one arm and Wissam, the girl, in the other. Her husband was sleeping beside them. The explosion came an hour and a half later. The house collapsed. “I screamed for my children and my husband,” she said Sunday, as she sobbed and cradled a baby’s blanket to her chest. ”They were all dead. Their father took them and left me behind.” She closed her eyes, leaned her head against the wall and patted the bundle in a calming gesture that, finally, she’d had the chance to give. Israeli airstrikes have regularly hit crowded family homes since the start of the war in Gaza, even in Rafah, which Israel declared a safe zone in October but is now the next target of its devastating ground offensive. The strikes often come without warning, usually in the middle of the night. Israel says it tries to avoid harming civilians and blames their deaths on the Hamas militant group because it positions fighters, tunnels and rocket launchers in dense residential areas. But the military rarely comments on individual strikes, which often kill women and children. The military on Sunday didn’t comment on this attack but said it “follows international law and takes feasible precautions to mitigate civilian harm.” Of the 14 people killed in the Abu Anza house, six were children and four were women, according to Dr. Marwan al-Hams, director of the hospital where the bodies were taken. In addition to her husband and children, Rania also lost a sister, a nephew, a pregnant cousin and other relatives." continues... |

They achieved the loftiest goal according to the Hamas Covenant. Why should Hamas surrender when they have all these martyrs at the ready? Why should they bother with pesky cease fires *on the table for DAYS* while children starve and fighting goes on. These murderous perversions are getting what they want. Blame Hamas. |

I get it. It's rude to make people uncomfortable by confronting them with their support for mass murder. |

No, you don't. What's rude is imagining you know enough about all these individual people who post here to clearly adjudge what they support and don't support, directly or indirectly, by what they say or don't say...and that you know the precise behind-the-scenes details behind every political/military manipulation, life-or-death threat, bribe, blackmail and other darker twisted dealings at the invisible top, the *true sources* of what comes down to what we see happening in the world, to be able to pronounce bottom lines of blame that have the slightest credibility or reality to them... And it's not so much rude, really, as it is *young*... |
