Israel’s Defence Forces is hitting the Gaza strip on an unprecedented scale after the surprise attack on Hamas terrorists who in an attempt to take over Israeli towns reportedly robbed and killed civilians. A surgeon from Liverpool who is currently inside Gaza told the reporters on ground that the hospital conditions there are “getting really bad.” When the Hamas strike occurred, Dr. Abdel Hammad was in Gaza to do kidney transplants. He claimed he was “worried things will become more difficult in the coming days” because supplies had been cut off. “Things are very difficult and people are worried about their safety,” he stated. “We are in the safest place in Gaza, I assume, but still it is terrifying when these airstrikes happen,” he stated. “Now, they are overwhelmed with the numbers they have,” he stated. Overnight, Israeli attacks on Gazan targets have targeted communication lines among other things. There are three phone connection lines in Gaza; according to source-based reports, Israel has destroyed two of them, leaving only one mobile phone network. That will make life more difficult for civilians as well as, one presumes, for Hamas and their communication capabilities. The southern borders are not entirely secure, despite the IDF’s claims to the contrary. Meanwhile, according to the chairman of the Palestinian energy authority, the sole power plant and sole source of electricity for the Gaza Strip would run out of fuel in 10 to 12 hours. In the midst of Israel’s “total siege” on the Gaza Strip, Thafer Melhem spoke to the Voice of Palestine radio. “Israel wants to cut off the whole Gaza Strip’s access to water, food, and power,” he said.
