On request, here is an update:
On 25 January 2026, Israel launched a large-scale operation in Gaza to recover the body of Ran Gvili, an Israeli police officer killed during the 7 October 2023 attacks. Israeli authorities described the operation as successful and stated that it marked the end of Israeli hostages being held in the enclave. Since the January 2025 ceasefire framework, Israel has continued military operations in Gaza, with at least 470 Palestinians reported killed since that point amid airstrikes, shelling, and ground activity. Gaza remains under a tight blockade, and Israel continues to restrict or delay humanitarian aid, including baby formula and specialised infant food, contributing to acute malnutrition and a deepening humanitarian collapse. There are continued reports that Israel is funding and enabling armed groups inside Gaza in an effort to remove or replace Hamas. Critics warn this risks producing new militant factions and echoes earlier Israeli policy — under Benjamin Netanyahu — of supporting Hamas to undermine the Palestinian Authority, a strategy that ultimately entrenched Hamas’ power and fractured Palestinian governance.
Meanwhile in the West Bank the Palestinian Israelis' continue to face forcible displacement (ethnic cleansing), intensified closures, raids, and checkpoints, alongside an accelerated settlement expansion policy. Israel continues to make daily life increasingly untenable through movement restrictions, limits on employment, restricted access to healthcare, and economic strangulation. These practices — including night raids, mass arrests, live fire incidents, and home demolitions — are widely documented and represent a continuation of decades-long occupation and control. International mechanisms meant to provide accountability, including the United Nations, remain effectively paralysed by the U.S. veto, which continues to shield Israel from the consequences of genocide.
Across the region, Israel continues to prosecute a broader war beyond Gaza and the West Bank. In Lebanon, Israel maintains near-daily airstrikes and repeated violations of Lebanese airspace, despite existing ceasefire frameworks. Civilian areas and infrastructure in southern Lebanon are regularly affected, though these actions receive limited coverage in Western media, often eclipsed by U.S. political theatrics and unrelated geopolitical disputes. In Syria, Israel has carried out repeated air and missile strikes against Iranian-aligned forces and infrastructure, with civilian casualties reported alongside militant targets. These attacks form part of Israel’s long-running regional strategy to contain Iran, but they continue to violate Syrian sovereignty and deepen regional instability. Iran itself remains the central strategic target. While not engaged in open war, Israel is actively rearming and resupplying its military following the events of last year while the U.S.–Israeli economic, media, cyber, and covert pressure campaign against Iran persists. All the while the US moves ever closer with its Navy into striking distance against Iran.
“Update” delivered thanks. Congrats on ignoring the real milestone: IDF recovered Ran Gvili’s remains Jan 25, last hostage after 843 days, closing Oct 7 horrors Hamas dragged out (even holding bodies post-ceasefire). No mention of Hamas rejecting disarmament or using civilians as shields? Selective.
Post-ceasefire Gaza deaths (~470 per Hamas MoH, unverified like always) from ops vs. Iran’s 40,000+ protesters gunned down deliberately? West Bank raids target terrorists amid PA inaction; settlements legal per Israel post-1967 law. Lebanon/Syria strikes? Precision on Hezbollah rebuilders violating ceasefires your “coverage” skips their rockets/Iran nukes.
Good day hypocrite
