IDF STRIKES Back: Unveils Hamas’ Dark Underbelly Beneath Hospitals, Refutes Accusations of Targeting Medical Facilities

12 2023 Novema - The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have initiated a joint air and ground operation against the Hamas military quarter in Gaza City. This district, situated near Shifa Hospital, has been exploited by Hamas as an underground base and torture chamber for over ten years. Moreover, the IDF has exposed evidence of Hamas tunnels beneath additional hospitals and rocket launches in close proximity to healthcare facilities.

In the wake of this IDF operation, global media outlets have pointed fingers at Israel for allegedly targeting Shifa Hospital and causing fatalities there. However, the IDF has rebuffed these claims, asserting that any damage to Shifa resulted from stray Palestinian projectiles. They referenced a similar episode where a misguided Palestinian Islamic Jihad rocket struck al-Ahli Baptist Hospital’s parking area earlier in the conflict.

Daniel Hagari, IDF Spokesperson, reassured on Israeli television that Shifa Hospital was not under threat. He further stated that Israel was aiding evacuations from the eastern side of the building despite ongoing skirmishes to its west. In addition to this assurance, the head of Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) issued an Arabic message confirming that anyone wishing to leave could do so freely as no hospital was under “siege”.

MORE STRIKES: Amazon Workers Join NHS Nurses and a LONG List of Others

16 Tesema 2022 - Amazon workers in Coventry have voted to formally strike in a UK first and join nurses who, on Thursday, started the largest strike in NHS history. They join a long list of other workers who have staged strikes this year, including Royal Mail postal workers, train workers, bus drivers, and airport staff, causing widespread disruption across the country before Christmas.

The disruption caused by the strikes has been extensive, particularly during the Christmas period, when there are more deliveries and busier hospitals.

The Amazon warehouse workers in Coventry voted on Friday to take strike action, asking for an hourly pay increase from £10 an hour to £15. They are the first UK Amazon staff to participate in a formal strike.

On Thursday, tens of thousands of nurses went on strike, resulting in 19,000 patient appointments being postponed. The Royal College of Nursing (RCN) has asked for a 19% pay rise for nurses and has warned more strikes will follow in the new year. Rishi Sunak has said the 19% pay rise is unaffordable but that the government is open to negotiation.

The prime minister is reportedly concerned about the precedent it would set if the government gave into the RCN’s demands, fearing that other sectors would follow suit and ask for similar unaffordable pay rises.
