Rafah Massacre Dead Ahead

The crescendo phase of the Gaza genocide is underway. There are 27K citizens per square kilometer in Rafah

Israel states that they want this over by Ramadan on March 10, suggesting an aggressive campaign. It has that 1944 Warsaw vibe to it. 1.4 million Gazans are stacked into a small corner (Rafah) of the concentration camp which makes them more vulnerable than ever to artillery, tanks and dumb bombs. Rafah is urban but most of the newcomer refugees live in tents.

Rafah is one of the few areas left in Gaza with inhabited residences.

Example of the Khamas the demonics are targeting. From a bombing yesterday.

The Egyptian Army is building sand barricades on the border with Gaza. It is also sending large numbers of tanks and armored vehicles there. Egypt says peace treaty with Israel will be suspended if Palestinian refugees are pushed into Egypt by an Israeli attack on Rafah.

It is unclear to what extent these will also be used to block and fire on Gazans trying to break out of Rafah. There are enough weapons in the hands of militia to blow up border fences and barriers. The IDF itself may do so, as the goal is ethnic cleansing combined with genocide. Potential clashes between Egypt and the IDF complicate matters. Israel may try to scapegoat Egypt for civilian massacres via “incidents”.

The big issue is duration and how to manhandle over a million starving people. Even if sections of the border opened how does a large population traverse a war zone to a poorly defined dangerous border crossing. 600,000 children complicate matters more. The IDF will surely try to process everyone first, and may extract any fighting age males. Since this is a last stand previously non-involved males could opt to join the resistance as weapons are available.

Cordon and search checkpoints will be set up in the middle of an urban guerilla warfare scenario. This will be perfect for the increasing use of IDEs and snipers by the militia. This will also take place in north Gaza and on IDF flanks. There are pockets of militia all over Gaza. Khan Younis is still an active combat zone.

Israel has not even come close to defeating Hamas through its military offensive on the Gaza Strip, US intelligence officials have said.

According to the New York Times, the officials told members of Congress earlier this week that while Israel had managed to degrade Hamas’s fighting capabilities, they were still very far from crushing the organization itself.

As this gets ugly brutalization reactions will be put up on social media for all the world to see. The US, Europe, all the Arab world has already condemned this operation, but Israel believes it can act with impunity.

Here an IDE obliterates an Israeli tank. There appears to be militia sniper aces at work.

US pulling out of Syria and Iraq?
