The UNRWA Training Center in Khan Younis was hit by tank shells, apparently for the second time in a week. The problem is this most recent attack caused a fire. The campus is apparently being used to shelter 30,000 displaced persons, and the specific burning buildings had something like 800 people on them. Initial reports were 9 dead and 75 wounded. The number of dead is now 13 - and considering the state of Gaza health care facilities right now, this is certain to increase.
Here’s one facet of it that is pissing people off. That the NY Times is unable to identify the perpetrators even though these were tank shells. Does Hamas have tanks? Will the Times say anything about Israel’s denial of being involved with the shelling? Lol. Even when Israel leaders explicitly says they are doing something, like “flattening Gaza” - the Times often refuses to attribute it to Israel. Of course they won’t.
Here’s the part that I picked up on. Tank shells. In early December, Biden pulled his first “emergency bypass of Congress” to supply Israel with bombs. Bombs and tank shells. Maybe it’s a moot point - we all recognized that Biden was using emergency measures to give Israel the weapons it is using to assault Gaza. But it’s just kind of so very explicit here that Biden used emergency powers in order to enable war crimes.
