‘WE BLEW UP MOSQUES, UN OFFICES’ - ISRAELI RESERVIST

An Israeli military reservist told @TheGrayzoneNews that he was part of operations that bombed mosques and United Nations offices in the Gaza Strip. The unidentified person acknowledged UN offices had assisted Palestinian families since 7 October.

This clip is part of an exclusive video report that shows illegal settlers at the Kerem Shalom and Nitzana border crossings in the Gaza Strip blocking trucks carrying humanitarian aid from Egypt. The Israeli military appeared to aid protesters’ efforts, while Egyptian forces did not respond to provocations.

Reports in January said Israel had destroyed 1,000 out of 1,200 mosques in the 41-kilometre-long enclave since the 7 October escalation. The UN said the highest death toll among its staff members worldwide has occurred in the Gaza Strip, where Israel’s military operation has killed more than 100 workers.

The UN Security Council passed a resolution on 25 March for an immediate ceasefire, to allow the flow of humanitarian aid and for the release of Israeli hostages held in the Gaza Strip during the Muslim fasting month of Ramadan, which ends in two weeks. Further, the International Court of Justice ruled on 26 January that Israel must avoid genocidal acts. However, Israel’s strikes and a blockade have continued.

Should the so-called international community impose economic sanctions on Israel for its continued disregard for the ICJ ruling and the UNSC resolution?
