The Egyptian army begins constructing dirt berms on Egypt’s borders with Gaza, the disappearance of Abu Ubaida, and a dangerous leak to Netanyahu.

Updates on the Al-Aqsa Flood operation presented in this episode of Samri Channel.
Starting with the British newspaper the Financial Times, which quoted military analysts as saying that the extent of the destruction in Gaza is equal to what was completely destroyed in all German cities during World War II. The newspaper said in a report titled “Israeli bombs raining on Gaza” that Benjamin Netanyahu requested more American bombs to destroy Hamas, as it described it. The newspaper added that Netanyahu told a group of local government officials, according to a recording obtained by the “Israel Hayom” newspaper: “We need three things from the United States: munitions, munitions, and munitions.”

Military analysts told the newspaper, citing estimates of damage to urban areas, that the devastation inflicted on northern Gaza in less than seven weeks is close to the devastation caused by the massive bombing of German cities over years during World War II. “Gaza will also be included as a place name that refers to one of the heaviest conventional bombing campaigns in history,” said Robert Pape, an American military historian and author of “Bombing to Win.” The newspaper pointed out that, in contrast, over the course of two years, between 1943 and 1945, the Allied bombing of 61 major German cities led to the destruction of an estimated 50% of their urban areas, according to Babe. A 1954 US military review estimated that 7,100 tons of Allied munitions were dropped on Dresden, severely damaging 56% of non-industrial buildings, half the homes, and killing about 25,000 people. The newspaper pointed out that one of the reasons for the extent of the destruction is the munitions used by the Zionist entity. The Israeli occupation army did not publish public information, but the pictures it publishes daily show its planes taking off loaded with munitions that were identified to the Financial Times by explosives experts. The newspaper said that some munitions are very accurate, which can help limit collateral damage. Among them are 250-pound precision-guided small-diameter bombs, which, because of their relatively small size, “inherently reduce the likelihood of collateral damage,” according to the US Air Force. The attack helicopters also carried laser-guided “Hellfire” missiles, the mainstay of American urban combat against ISIS fighters in Iraq and Syria, and “fire-and-forget” Spike missiles, traditionally Israel’s weapon of choice for precise, targeted killings.

The newspaper spoke with Janina Dale, professor of global security at the Blavatnik School of Government at the University of Oxford, where she said: “It is striking how many times the Israeli army was able to obtain bombs weighing 2,000 pounds.” For his part, Mark Garlasko, a military advisor to the Dutch organization PAX and a former intelligence analyst at the Pentagon, said, “The power of these bombs, enhanced by a global positioning system that turns them into “smart bombs” or so-called Joint Direct Attack Munitions (JDAMs), is so enormous that even the survivors From the explosion they said they felt like they were “surfing on liquid Earth.” Garlasco added that the only reason he thinks about why it is used is that the Israeli occupation army is allegedly trying to destroy Hamas’s tunnel network.”

He continued, saying: “But what is striking is its widespread use.” Military analysts said that the second reason for the high level of destruction was the speed and intensity of the Israeli bombing campaign, as well as relaxed targeting rules that may have allowed a greater number of civilian casualties to occur. The British newspaper reported that in just the first two weeks of its campaign, the occupation army used at least 1,000 air-to-ground munitions per day, according to estimates by John Ridge, an open-source intelligence analyst and munitions expert.

The Israeli military responded by saying it would take a different approach in the south, using data to identify densely populated areas and calculate evacuation routes as well as sharing maps indicating where people should flee. More than 15,000 Gazans died before Israel began its southern offensive last week, according to Palestinian officials in the Hamas-controlled area. Israel claims this includes up to 5,000 Hamas fighters. By comparison, 12,000 civilian deaths were recorded in the first nine months of the US invasion of Iraq in 2003. “By all accounts, Gaza is already a severe campaign of civilian punishment,” said military historian Pape. “It will go down in history as one of the deadliest operations ever conducted using conventional weapons.”

On the other hand, the Sinai Foundation for Human Rights obtained special photos showing the Egyptian army forces establishing dirt berms east of the city of Rafah, and along the Egyptian border with the Gaza Strip. The Foundation, a non-governmental human rights organization, published: independent; Concerned with monitoring the human rights situation in the Sinai Peninsula, a picture of high dirt barriers, behind which buildings and communications towers appear.
