the Israeli government “prefers to go even further in the military offensive”, estimates a researcher

The war between the Hamas and Israel resumed, after the truce broke down. “Indeed, the Israeli government of Benyamin Netanyahu, – who is caught between the far right in his alliance and, at the same time, American pressure to reduce a little the geographical area that his army attacks – prefers to go even further in the military offensive”explains Ziad MajedFranco-Lebanese researcher and political scientist, in the 19/20 info of Monday December 4. “The intensity of the bombings and operations today is extremely significant and caused hundreds of Palestinian civilian victims”he adds.

Leaflets to warn “are not enough”

The Israeli army says it is doing its best to spare civilians as much as possible, in particular by dropping leaflets to inform Gazans of the areas that will be bombed. It works in the form of a QR code which gives access to a map which specifies the areas which will be targeted, and which must therefore be evacuated. “It’s scary, it’s a bit like in Black Mirror“deplores Ziad Majed. “It is not enough to tell people that they must leave an area within minutes, or even hours, and then bomb and raze it. That remains a war crime anyway.”, noted the Franco-Lebanese researcher and political scientist.
