Hamas has called on Israel to allow an impartial international investigation into its attack on 7 October 2023 and has rejected that it killed civilians or committed atrocities.

“The resistance did not target any hospital, school, or house of worship; it did not kill a single journalist or any member of ambulance crews. We challenge [Israel] to prove otherwise,” it said.

In the new document, Hamas said that “Western media and Zionist lobby groups” had launched a disinformation campaign about the events of the attack.

“The Israeli entity promoted a series of lies and fallacies about killing children and raping women, paving the way to proceed with an all-out genocide project that was pre-planned and aimed to erase Gaza from existence,” it said.

      Why do people find it so hard to realise thst both parties have done, are doing and will continue to do dispicable things?

      The only reason why Israel’s body count is higher, is because it is more powerfull.

          Hamas also blindly shoots rockets at cities. Why is that so difficult to recognize? Its as obvious as Israeli using terror bombing.

        The body count is higher because they started the war and made Gaza into an open air prison. Nakba is a thing.

        Not kidnapped by Hamas but other groups in the chaos. And killed by Israel. Also why was there a baby on a military base?

        Nir Oz was founded on 1 October 1955 as one of the first Nahal settlements. It was established as a military outpost to guard the area between Nirim and Nir Yitzhak from Palestinian incursions.

          Families often live near military bases so they can be together. You must know this. You see that’s the problem when you decide to defend the indefensible - you just end up looking stupid.

            the point is, that these are military outposts of a settler colonial landgrab. they are purposely mixing armed cilivian (settler) infrastructure with military (colonial) intend. they have no right, under international law, to be there at all. they are settlers, not civilians.
