Palestinian control around Gaza before yesterday in red, gains in blue :)
Taking territory by surprise is relatively easy. Holding it may be more difficult.
Holy shit that's quite a bit (I know Israel is pretty small but still a solid chunk. Full support to the Palestinians)
It seems like they were significantly pushed back :/ according to https://israelpalestine.liveuamap.com/ and the IDF 3 hours before I posted (so 6 hours ago). Too early to tell though I think.
Wikipedia map is from yesterday, that was still impressive regardless.
Pushback is sort of a misnomer. They're using guerrilla tactics, it's normal to push and pull in this situation, never holding on to territory.
Though I've also seen reports they're only 10km away from reaching the West Bank, but I'm not sure how true these maps are.
Do we really have to take "liveuamap" seriously? I mean, it's obviously pro-Israel
3 days to Tel Aviv guys, just like the russkis in Ukraine...
Seriously you can't expect Palestine not to get absolutely dumpstered for this. We're still in the fk around phase, the find out phase won't be pretty.
Hell yeah brother
A community for everything related to Palestine and the occupation currently underway by the occupying force known as Israel.
Anti-Zionism is not anti-Semitism. Existence is resistance for Palestinians.
Please refer to Israel as Occupied Palestine, or occupied territories. The IDF is a fascist and ethnonationalist occupying force. Israelis are settlers. We understand however that the imperial narrative (which tries to legitimise Israel) is internalised in the imperial core and slip-ups are naturally expected.
We always take the sides of Palestine and Palestinians and are unapologetic about it. Israel is an occupying power whose "defence force"'s (note the contradiction) sole purpose for existing is to push Palestinians out so they can resettle their rightful land. If you have anything positive to say about Israel we do not care.
