Israeli terror Army Alarmed by Shift in Resistance Tactics in Gaza:

• Israeli media and the army have reported a clear change in the combat tactics of Palestinian resistance forces in the Gaza Strip.

• Amir Bohbot, a military analyst for the Hebrew-language site Walla, wrote that there are growing warnings within the Israeli army about the intensification of resistance ambushes in Gaza.

• Bohbot added that security and military agencies are witnessing a clear shift in Hamas’s methods of warfare, with the group’s forces adopting new, bold tactics and embracing the principle of surprise, making field confrontations even more difficult.

• He stated that the army is concerned about the possibility of repeated attacks similar to those seen in recent days — special operations relying on surprise that have so far resulted in the killing and wounding of several Israeli soldiers.

In other reports, Israeli terror forces have observed the emergence of new guerrilla and urban warfare tactics both in the West Bank and Gaza. Fighters have been seen using damaged areas and rubble for camouflage, hiding among the ruins to launch surprise attacks against stationed Israeli soldiers.

The frequent and strategic use of tunnels — and the ability to conceal them even from special forces — has drawn significant attention. Resistance fighters have stunned Israeli intelligence; they have adapted beyond dependency on their top leaders like Muhammad al-Deif and Yahya Sinwar. Hamas has evolved a new decentralized command system: even in the absence of top leadership, fighters maintain logical coordination and operational discipline.

Israeli forces have failed to decode even a single faction’s internal communications. Moreover, the ethical conduct of resistance fighters during combat has surprised enemy forces and their semi-independent analysts, revealing a level of battlefield discipline and resilience they had not expected.

[We remember when Shaheed Haniyeh (r) once said that in the coming years, the armies and military institutions of the world would study and teach our skills as their own, and they would seek to understand them]

While we talk about the world:
Two dozen Palestinians have been killed in new Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip, while civil defense agency crew have recovered charred bodies from a school-turned-shelter for displaced people.

An Egyptian-Qatari truce proposal under negotiation in Cairo would see the Israeli occupation withdraw from Gaza and Palestinian resistance factions declare a ceasefire, in exchange for the transfer of Gaza’s governance to a committee backed by the Palestinian Authority (PA). The deal also includes guarantees against the displacement of Palestinians and provisions for post-war reconstruction, according to Egyptian sources cited by Al-Arabi TV.

Meanwhile, the Israeli regime continues its deadly assault on the besieged enclave, massacring at least 26 Palestinians in the past 24 hours, bringing the death toll since 18 March to 1,890. UN agencies report that nearly 600 children have been killed during this renewed phase of aggression, as Tel Aviv targets civilian infrastructure and aid delivery is blocked. Despite the proposal, Israeli strikes have persisted, and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s cabinet has signaled opposition to PA rule in Gaza – a condition central to Cairo’s plan.

Yemeni Armed Forces issued a statement:

– We shot down a hostile American MQ-9 drone while it was carrying out hostile missions in the airspace of Hajjah Governorate.

– The MQ-9 drone is the seventh we have shot down this April and the 22nd during the “Promised Victory and Holy Jihad” battle.

– We carried out two military operations targeting the US aircraft carriers Truman and Vinson and their warships in the Red and Arabian Seas.

– We will not stop supporting and backing the oppressed Palestinian people until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted.

A morning of carnage, dead babies, dead fetuses and walking dead. And it is Easter. Where are the Christians? Where is any religious grouping, any one, who professes the principles of a religion of peace? There are none. The Pope gave a double sided message: Pope Francis calls for Gaza ceasefire in his Easter message. ‘I express my closeness to the sufferings… of all the Israeli people and the Palestinian people’. The Israeli soldiers say: ‘I’m bored, so I shoot’. Sure Mr Pope, a whole lot of suffering expressed there.

Although this is from Al Jazeera, it is accurate.  I cannot vouch for the actual numbers but the principle is accurate .. more Palestinians are being detained than Palestinians from Palestinian prisons exchanged and the number goes up.

Yemen – US military strikes on Yemen’s Ras Isa oil port killed nearly 40 workers and medics, injuring over 100, with a second attack hitting rescue teams as they responded – the famous double-tap which we learned about in Wikileaks. US carries out 69 airstrikes in one day across Yemen.

Day by day the carnage across the region escalates. Israel has conducted fresh aerial assaults on the Gaza Strip, killing a total of 26 Palestinians, including a family of 13. This is a planned human attrition rate. I don’t know what their numbers are but you can be sure that they are working to a weekly quota. News in just now .. Four Palestinians were killed and shredded into pieces following an Israeli drone strike targeting a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City, according to local sources.

It is only us, the normal people, who chronicle this genocide and it is only us, across the world that continue to carry the message. Our countries and leaders babble in the UNSC that is the agreed on venue for solutions of these kinds of problems in our world but they do nothing. Genocide is a horrible crime that cannot be allowed. Perpetrators must be brought to justice and victims must be compensated. Amplify that! Don’t forget.

An update will follow at the end of this day. Once they start burning people and children alive … well, it is hard to find words.

Numbers are out. Fire devoured the bodies of more than 30 Palestinians last night in Gaza after Zionist occupation aircraft bombed them with missiles while they were sleeping in their tents.

51 thousand martyrs in Gaza

and this number is undercounted by possibly 150,000.

All of the reliable talking heads in our circles, (bar one or two), the ones that we follow, every single one of them talk about tariffs, and nobody leaves 45 seconds in their programs for a word about Gaza and the Palestinians. Shame on You! Shame on every one of You! You with your clickbait headlines. Gaza’s Government Media Office confirmed today that more than 1,100,000 children are suffering from severe malnutrition amid the absence of food, water, healthcare, and other basic necessities.

Palestinian Factions (National and Islamic Forces):
—
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The Follow-up Committee of National and Islamic Forces has monitored the news regarding the new proposal for a ceasefire, which includes a clause for the disarmament of the resistance (https://t.me/PalestineResist/76222) and the handing over of zionist captives to the occupation without any genuine guarantees for ending the war of genocide against our people and for the complete withdrawal from the Gaza Strip.

In this context, the Follow-up Committee of National and Islamic Forces affirms the following:

1) We reject the logic that exaggerates the primitive weapon victim, which is intended solely for self-defense, at a time when the United States announces the delivery of a large shipment of lethal weapons and heavy bombs—which are being dropped on the heads of our defenseless people—to the occupation (the murderer).

2) The Gaza Strip represents a security zone for the Arab Republic of Egypt and separates it from the enemy of the Arab nation. The people of the strip represent the vanguard of Egypt’s army and its primary guardian, and Egypt constitutes a strategic depth for the Palestinians.

3) Any truce that lacks genuine guarantees for ending the war, ensuring a complete withdrawal, lifting the siege, and undertaking reconstruction will be a political trap that legitimizes the occupation rather than resisting it. Mediators and the international community must exert pressure on the zionist occupation, which has historically been known to renege on all agreements and understandings.

4) A massive deception operation is underway by focusing on the issue of disarming the victim, while the core problem lies in the occupation’s failure to implement the three-phase agreement—which the Palestinian side agreed to and committed to. Even the zionist community itself recognizes that it is Netanyahu who has sabotaged the ceasefire agreement amid lethal international collusion and silence.

Small victories:  The President of the Maldives has ratified legislation banning Israelis from entering the country, effective immediately.

This is being done deliberately.  Israel is again killing their own.   The military spokesman, Abu Obeidah— We announce that we have lost contact with the captivating group of the soldier, Edan Alexander, after a direct Israeli bombing that targeted their whereabouts and we are still trying to reach them until this moment.

🔹🔹🔹🔹

The number of testimonies from the massacres in Syria—carried out by Erdogan’s terrorists—and from Gaza is so overwhelming that it’s impossible to post them all. And yet, skipping them or ignoring them feels like a betrayal. It’s not just hard—it’s heartbreaking. There’s a deep, suffocating pain that comes with reading each account. It brings emotional breakdown, grief, and rage. After 19 months, it’s truly heartbreaking. It feels like it should have been enough by now—enough pain, enough loss, enough horror to demand control, to end it. But it hasn’t stopped. And watching it continue, helplessly, tears you apart from the inside.
