Israel - Palestine Update Thread. No hate. Just updates.

Here's a link with more information about the attack on the stadium in Gaza, it even has a video of it for those that can bare watching it.

rt.com...

Israeli forces have launched numerous missile attacks on Gaza after a bomb struck a bus in Tel Aviv, injuring 16. It is the eighth day of Israel’s ‘Pillar of Defense’ campaign, which has killed over 130 Palestinians so far.

Israeli war jets pummeled Gaza’s Al-Yarmouk football stadium with more than 10 consecutive attacks, Al Jazeera reports. Several casualties were reported following the assault.

The IDF claimed they are striking key Hamas targets, while the Palestinian Authority criticized the attacks for killing civilians.

The escalation of attacks comes off the back of a bomb attack on a Tel Aviv bus that left 16 people injured. Israel’s government called an emergency meeting in response to the first terrorist bombing in the city since 2006.

Israeli authorities have raised security in the area to a level 4 alert and have begun a manhunt for the two suspects.

Hamas spokesperson, Sami Abu Zuhri praised the Tel Aviv bus bombing to the press, but did not say Hamas was behind it. He said that Hamas viewed the explosion as “a natural response to the Israeli massacres…in Gaza.

I'm having horrible internet issues this morning.
There are no functioning live feeds at this moment, correct?

I just checked now and I cannot get RT Live Stream open, Reuters Live Stream is currently not broadcasting, AP Live Stream is not broadcasting either and Occupied Air that uses any of these streams is not showing any live footage. However, I think this live stream that last time I checked was in Israel is showing something (ETA) but this feed is going about 1 frame per second for me, no audio of the actual area but occasional radio chatter in English (ETA2), but sometimes going back to an higher framerate.

As far as I know no acceptance of responsibility for Tel Aviv attack on Hamas official media since mosque speakers claimed it for therm.

I think it's unnerving that in the wake of the bus bombing now all feeds are in essence
OUT. Coincidence? Or is something insane about to go down.

Oops never mind. Reuters is back.

According to one BBC reporter is was "perhaps" because rockets were being fired from there.

@pdanahar Wow, do the mosque speakers just make random, unaccountable noises? Magic.

@pdanahar Some reports claim that Hamas is blaming Fatah for this.

They have been occasionally going on and off, or changing between cameras. I think that sometimes if a jet goes overhead and uses afterburners then it causes electrical disturbance which could effect the stream.

reuters stream is up showing gaza

Looks like Reuters is back up.

Looks like the RT Live Stream is back up and showing a bus - so presumably footage from Tel Aviv.

Israeli senior mil official: planning for ground force calls for larger troop footprint than in the 2008-2009 offensive. "Massive force."

What happens in a few hours when investigators say shrapnel found at the bus scene are Iranian supplied/made munitions used by Hamas?

We brace ourselves and pray.

For those just gettin' with the 'program' this morning, here is a pretty good read to catch up the 'overnight' from this North American side of the planet.

Just a few highlights . . . you can read the rest . . .

Israeli airstrikes overnight continued into Wednesday morning, hitting government buildings, the smuggling tunnels under the southern Rafah border crossing, and a bridge on the beach road that is one of three linking Gaza City to the central area of the strip.

The eight-day conflict in the Gaza Strip also appeared to have spilled onto the streets of Tel Aviv on Wednesday with what police described as a bomb blast aboard a civilian bus. Eleven people were injured, one of them seriously . . . While there was no immediate or formal claim of responsibility for the bus bombing in Tel Aviv, a message on a Twitter account in the name of the Al Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Hamas authorities in the Gaza Strip, declared: “We told you IDF that our blessed hands will reach your leaders and soldiers wherever they are, ‘You opened the Gates of Hell on Yourselves.’” The letters IDF refer to the Israel Defense Forces

Within Gaza City, Abu Khadra, the largest government office complex, was obliterated overnight. Damage was also caused to shops, including two banks and a tourism office, and electricity cables fell on the ground and were covered in dust

AP Stream back up - currently same footage as RT Live Stream, but higher resolution (better quality, more bandwidth used).

ETA: A minute after I write this the feed changes to a view of Gaza.

Man...What I'd like to see is for people to get out in the streets in the millions and protest this #ing insanity...
I have a hard time imagining that happening...Look how divided we are just on this site...Until we get bombed in our own land, for #ing lies, and the media reports us protesters and those who fight back as terrorists, we just won't get it, I don't think...
