After an event, proportionally the size of 44 9/11s I think they could get away with anything really.
The original source i24 didn't claim 40 beheadings. It claimed 40 deaths some beheadings.
You read that backwards. There is Hamas in the West Bank but the PLA is in charge there. There is also Hamas on the Gaza Strip and they are the defacto government there.
The person above was complaining about deaths in the West Bank, but the article in question is about an event that happened in the Gaza Strip.
In this case we have one side who conducted a hostage raid and slaughtered civilians living in kibbutz (which are essentially the Jewish equivalent to the Amish or Mennonites), started a war as the aggressors, have launched 2-20k rockets of various types at Israel somce the atart of hostilities (widely disputed), has been car bombing people trying to evacuate (and falsely blamed it on an Israeli airstrike), admittedly accidentally bombed a hospital (and falsely blamed it on an Israeli airstrike).
There's one side here who is clearly more wrong than the other.
and apparently none of them turned around and struck Gaza.
5-20% depending on the type of missile/rocket generally land inside the Strip. They don't use aerospace grade materials, so imperfections that wouldn't cause a problem in 100 years of use as an irrigation pipe end up failing on the multiple G forces associated with rocketry.
They live in a city, not an open air prison.
it's easy for me to imagine that the destruction of this Palestinian hospital was due to an errant Israeli bomb, but pretty difficult to imagine that a Hamas soldier with bad aim accidentally took out one of their only hospitals.
Maybe it's because your missing context. Depending on the type of rocket fired, Palestine rockets generally fail to leave the Gaza Strip between 5-20% of the time. A small imperfection in the steel of a water pipe may not cause a failure for 100 years of used to transport water. But that same imperfection can easily buckle under the load of sever g's during rocket launch. Hundreds of people have died in Gaza from Gazan rockets that didn't make it to target and it's standard practice for Hamas to blame am Israeli airstrike for the rocket's failure.
Because they said so, and it was independently verifiable and they brought surveillance that confirmed it. And Gaza clearly lied about the size, location, and scope of the "bombing". And there's multiple videos of it.
This event happened in the Gaza Strip. And Hamas' exists in the West Bank, they just don't rule there.
Over 500 years old.
The first weapons that would be visibly identified as rifles are about 500 years old.
In fairness, most of the people in Gaza have been born and raised in an era where the strip is their homeland. They've never experienced a settlement, they've been ruled by Palestinians their whole lives and the borders were the same as the 1967 ones.
