Residents report that between 2:00-6:30 AM Saturday, forces entered all homes, damaged appliances, destroyed food supplies, and intimidated residents during Ramadan.</p><p>Village committee head Nidal Younis stated soldiers forced families including women and children into corners while destroying property. He quoted one soldier saying: "Yesterday you thought you were strong, now we'll show you that we are stronger."</p><p>This raid followed a previous day's incident where settlers allegedly attacked six Palestinians in the village, after which 22 residents were detained.</p><p>Attorney Netta Amar, representing villagers, has demanded an investigation, calling the incident a "pogrom and hate crime" that indicates "the disintegration of any ethical code and rule of law." </p><p>The occupation force spokesperson confirmed conducting an operation to search for weapons but provided no details about findings.</p><p>[…] In a letter sent this morning by attorney Netta Amar, who represents the residents, to the army and police, she wrote that "The military militia broke all the houses, cameras, school, clinic, and mosque, and killed and drove away the sheep." She added that "This is a widespread pogrom and hate crime, following the hate crimes and pogrom conducted yesterday, which demonstrates the breakdown of any ethical code and rule of law by the army and settler militias that have taken control of it."</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/politics/2025-03-29/ty-article/.premium/00000195-e13a-deaf-a397-f57ed3f60001" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.co.il/news/politics/20</span><span class="invisible">25-03-29/ty-article/.premium/00000195-e13a-deaf-a397-f57ed3f60001</span></a> or <a href="https://archive.is/OiiDM" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.is/OiiDM</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p><a href="https://xcancel.com/haaretznewsvid/status/1905948633234583929" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="ellipsis">xcancel.com/haaretznewsvid/sta</span><span class="invisible">tus/1905948633234583929</span></a></p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span><br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/pogrom" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>pogrom</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/stateterrorism" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>stateterrorism</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>israel</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/occupiedwestbank" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>occupiedwestbank</span></a> <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IDF" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IDF</span></a></p>

oatmeal<p>Quoting Meron Rapoport on why Israel's plan for Gaza has one fitting description: a concentration camp</p><p>Meron Rapoport details how Israel intends to relocate Gaza's 2.2 million residents into a confined, enclosed area, with those remaining outside facing death. This strategy emerges as officials recognize "voluntary evacuation" isn't feasible. The plan involves creating controlled zones where Palestinians would be contained indefinitely, potentially pushing them toward eventual emigration as they face a destroyed homeland with no future. </p><p>[…] On the same day, Defense Minister Israel Katz published a recorded announcement with the following statement: "Residents of Gaza, this is a final warning. The first Sinwar destroyed Gaza, and the second Sinwar will completely demolish it. The Air Force attack against Hamas terrorists was just the first step. What follows will be much harder, and you will pay the full price. Soon, the evacuation of the population from combat zones will begin again. If all Israeli hostages are not released and Hamas is not removed from Gaza - Israel will act with forces you have never experienced before. Take the advice of the US President. Return the hostages and remove Hamas, and other options will open for you - including departure to other places in the world for those who wish. The alternative is complete destruction and devastation."</p><p>[…] Instead of using many words, we can describe in just two words this compound where the military intends to concentrate Gaza's residents, after forcing them from their current locations through threats and bombings: concentration camp. This is the most precise definition, the most accurate, that best helps us understand where we stand.</p><p>[…] In the government and military, they may think that "voluntary evacuation" of Gaza's population will erase the crimes <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Israel" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Israel</span></a> has committed so far, once Gazans find a better future elsewhere. The sad truth is that while such a forced migration operation has no practical feasibility, the ways in which Israel might try to implement it could lead to much more serious crimes - concentration in camps, systematic destruction of the entire area, and perhaps even actual extermination.</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.mekomit.co.il/%D7%9C%D7%AA%D7%95%D7%9B%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%AA-%D7%A9%D7%9C-%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%9C-%D7%9C%D7%A2%D7%96%D7%94-%D7%99%D7%A9-%D7%AA%D7%99%D7%90%D7%95%D7%A8-%D7%94%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%9D-%D7%90%D7%97%D7%93/" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">mekomit.co.il/%D7%9C%D7%AA%D7%</span><span class="invisible">95%D7%9B%D7%A0%D7%99%D7%AA-%D7%A9%D7%9C-%D7%99%D7%A9%D7%A8%D7%90%D7%9C-%D7%9C%D7%A2%D7%96%D7%94-%D7%99%D7%A9-%D7%AA%D7%99%D7%90%D7%95%D7%A8-%D7%94%D7%95%D7%9C%D7%9D-%D7%90%D7%97%D7%93/</span></a></p><p>Rapoport is an Israeli journalist and former News Department head at <a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Haaretz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Haaretz</span></a>. </p><p>The threat to concentrate an entire civilian population into a restricted area, declaring those outside it as potential targets, and the explicit threats of "complete destruction" for non-compliance with military demands, all potentially violate fundamental principles of distinction, proportionality, and protection of civilians during armed conflict. The Geneva Conventions specifically prohibit collective punishment, forced displacement of civilian populations, and making threats against civilian populations. These statements from officials describing plans that could lead to forcible transfer of a population from their territory should be examined for potential violations of international law. Preferably now, not after the fact. </p><p><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>palestine</span></a></span> <br><span class="h-card" translate="no"><a href="https://a.gup.pe/u/israel" class="u-url mention" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">@<span>israel</span></a></span> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/GazaGenocide" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>GazaGenocide</span></a> <br><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/IsraelWarCrimes" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>IsraelWarCrimes</span></a></p>

The IDF has confirmed these details, stating "the incident is being investigated."</p><p>The controversy erupted after videos of the building's destruction circulated on social media over the weekend. While the military initially claimed the strike targeted "terrorists in Hamas terror infrastructure in an area previously used as a hospital," Haaretz reports that military leadership was surprised by the decision to demolish the structure.</p><p>This latest incident adds to Vach's record of controversial actions in Gaza, including:</p><p>- Implementing relaxed rules of engagement in the Netzarim Corridor resulting in Palestinians being shot for crossing arbitrary lines, including children and elderly</p><p>- Conducting operations that allegedly endangered his own troops, resulting in the deaths of eight reserve soldiers in just days</p><p>- Previous accusations of blocking humanitarian aid</p><p>- Ordering arbitrary killings of Palestinians</p><p>The Military Advocate General has instructed Southern Command Commander Major General Yaniv Asur to investigate the circumstances of the incident.</p><p>Hebrew <a href="https://www.haaretz.co.il/news/politics/2025-03-24/ty-article/.premium/00000195-c7b7-de89-a1fd-e7b769e70000" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.co.il/news/politics/20</span><span class="invisible">25-03-24/ty-article/.premium/00000195-c7b7-de89-a1fd-e7b769e70000</span></a> or <a href="https://archive.is/pvtIs" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.is/pvtIs</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>English <a href="https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-03-24/ty-article/.premium/idf-investigating-if-commander-demolished-nonfunctioning-hospital-in-gaza-without-approval/00000195-c820-d2d1-a397-ea2d0c900000" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://www.</span><span class="ellipsis">haaretz.com/israel-news/2025-0</span><span class="invisible">3-24/ty-article/.premium/idf-investigating-if-commander-demolished-nonfunctioning-hospital-in-gaza-without-approval/00000195-c820-d2d1-a397-ea2d0c900000</span></a> or <a href="https://archive.is/lxze2" rel="nofollow noopener" translate="no" target="_blank"><span class="invisible">https://</span><span class="">archive.is/lxze2</span><span class="invisible"></span></a></p><p>Background </p><p>Vach is an Israeli military officer born in 1979 in Kiryat Arba, a settlement in the West Bank. He commanded the 252nd Armored Division in the Netzarim Corridor during the Israel-Hamas war of 2023-2024, particularly from August to November 2024.</p><p><a href="https://kolektiva.social/tags/Haaretz" class="mention hashtag" rel="nofollow noopener" target="_blank">#<span>Haaretz</span></a> published few investigations about his conduct. Quotes attributed to him include "there are no innocents in Gaza... everyone is a terrorist." </p><p>Vach was already accused of several serious violations:</p><p>1. War crimes and potential crimes against humanity for ordering his soldiers to shoot on sight any Palestinians approaching the Netzarim Corridor. The article states the Israeli military estimates over 200 Palestinians were killed this way, with fewer than 10 being Hamas members.</p><p>2. Preventing humanitarian aid from entering Gaza, with reports that he made blocking aid a central aspect of his policy. The article mentions that an aid convoy was even bombed in his area of control.</p><p>3. Endangering his own soldiers by ordering assaults in insufficiently prepared areas.</p><p>4. Allowing his brother Golan Vach to enter Gaza with what's described as a "dubious unit" to destroy Palestinian homes.</p><p>5.
