    UN: No indication Hamas was building elaborate tunnel system,“To think that the U.N. had any understanding of what was any information about those operations, I think, is: No is clearly the answer

    Freed Israeli hostage says she was held in Gaza hospital with dozens of others

    Jump

  • From the article:

    She told Cooper that while her family had become separated in the chaos of the attacks, the four of them had been reunited in captivity when militants hid them alongside dozens of other hostages being held at Nasser hospital in southern Gaza.

    In an account that potentially backs up US and Israeli assessments that hospitals were used to shelter hostages, Aloni Cunio said there were three rooms at Nasser hospital each holding between 10 and 12 captives and that they were tended to by a male nurse every other day. “He knew who we are, he went along with it,” she said.

    Hamas has been operating from within Nasser hospital very recently, so if they've managed to close off the tunnels they might even be able to rescue some hostages.

  • TCP Selective Ack is very much a thing, but it does take extra memory so lots of TCP stacks exclude it or disable it by default.

  • EU adds Hamas political leader Yahya Sinwar to terrorist list

    Jump

  • Official press release

    Notably, the EU has sanctioned Hamas already:

    1. ‘Hamas’, including ‘Hamas-Izz al-Din al-Qassem’.

    Now if only the UN would follow suit and also recognize Hamas' terrorist status. That would force UNRWA to clean house and maybe some of the food going into Gaza might actually reach the people who need it.

  • TCP was never designed with wifi in mind. TCP retransmission was only ever meant to handle drops due to congestion, not lossy links.

    Tmux is a wonderful complement to mosh. Together you get persistence even when your local client loses power (speaking from experience)

  • I worked with mosh for years to connect to servers on other continents. It was impossible to work otherwise. It only has two small warts: forwarding, and jump hosts.

    The second is fixable/ish with an overlay network, but that isn't always an option if you don't control the network. I tried to solve this with socat but wasn't able to configure it correctly - something about the socket reuse flag was very unhappy.

    South African leaders had 'cosy' meetings with Hamas after deadly October 7 terrorist attack before accusing Israel of genocide

    Jump

  • Three armed Palestinians trying to break into settlement killed

    Jump

  • I'm a little confused - you mean to say Palestinians in the West Bank should attack more?

  • 67% of Arab world: October 7 was 'legitimate resistance' against Israel

    Jump

  • Hamas and PIJ deliberately targeted civilians and committed atrocities. There is no part of those actions that can even remotely be colored as legitimate. It was attempted genocide as the intent was the destruction of all Israelis living near the border and sparking a war to end the existence of Israel.

  • Video appears to show the Israeli army shot 3 Palestinians, killing 1, without provocation

  • Israeli strike on Lebanon kills senior commander in elite Hezbollah unit

    Jump

  • Israeli strikes in Lebanon are against Hezbollah fighters who are launching ATGM, mortars, or other munitions into Israel. This particular incident is exceptional in two ways:

    1. This is a relatively senior ranking member who was killed (number 3 in the Radwan Force)
    2. This appears to have been an attack of opportunity rather than a retaliatory strike

    Reuters did a shit job on background context here. It took me 20 minutes half paying attention to a meeting that should have been an email to dig this up:

    • Hezbollah has launched 565 coordinated attacks (usually barrages against multiple targets along the border) on Israeli territory resulting in 4 civilian and 12 military fatalities and many more injured.
    • Due to the ongoing attacks, over 80,000 Israelis are internally displaced, and all the villages within 4km of the border have been evacuated.
    • Hezbollah were required to demilitarize and disarm as a consequence of binding UN Security Council resolution 1701 from 2006.
    • The Radwan force are a group within Hezbollah whose mission is to infiltrate into Israel and commit massacres against civilians.
    • Hezbollah is a terrorist organization designated as such by the US, UK, Canada, EU, and many other countries.

  • Al Jazeera bureau chief's son Hamza al-Dahdouh among journalists killed in Gaza

    Jump

  • Sounds like Mustafa Thuria was the driver, Hamza Wael Dahdouh was in the passenger seat, and Hazem Rajab, Amer Abu Amr, and Ahmed al-Bursh were in the back seat (all three of those survived).

    AFP says they were filming a house that was damaged by combat, so my guess is they were using a drone to gather footage that is close enough to the drones used by Hamas that the IDF considered it a threat to troops operating nearby.

  • Location of 600 Al-Aqsa Hospital patients, staff ‘unknown’, says WHO

    Jump

  • I'm still seeing the old URL - probably a federation issue (assuming you're doing it from lemmy.ca and not lemmy.world?)

    The original source of this is this tweet, which is a bit more clear than the Al Jazeera article: the WHO doesn't know where the patients and doctors who evacuated are. Notably, this includes the teams from MSF, MAP, and IRC who have evacuated from that area.

    Community Feedback

    Jump

  • I'd like to propose an addition to rule 1: no linking liveblogs that don't permalink (Al Jazeera, CNN, probably others). It's impossible to discuss an article that has been pushed three or four screens below the fold by other articles.

  • Location of 600 Al-Aqsa Hospital patients, staff ‘unknown’, says WHO

    Jump

  • Al Jazeera's live blog doesn't do permalinking - meaning it's impossible to link directly to the contents of the article. It makes it very difficult to discuss any story on its merits.

    Thanks to @girlfreddy@lemmy.ca for updating the link to the actual article.

  • UAE Pledges Maintaining Israel Ties Amid War Against Hamas

  • ... Israel's getting annihilated, and that within 1 decade of the beginning of their retaliation against Palestinians for Hamas's strike.

    Got something planned there bud? Or just wishful thinking?

  • Jordan and France drop humanitarian aid into Gaza by air

    Jump

  • Probably the same thing they did last time Jordan airdropped supplies: be honest and coordinate.

    Notably, Reuters got an official "no comment" from Israel for this round of aid. Which probably means yes, but we don't want to have it on record.

  • It's Clear to Everyone Gazans Must Be Destroyed, Israeli Lawmaker Says

    Jump

  • On the one hand it's a factual article about events that are clearly true. On the other it's sensationalized and making a mountain out of a molehill.

    The quality of the discussion on this article is bottom of the barrel "I hate Israel and you should too".
