Mass Casualties Feared in North Gaza Blasts Amid Israeli Offensive
The Wall Street Journal (via MSN.com) ^ | 31 October 2023 | Margherita Stancati

Explosions rocked a densely populated area north of Gaza City on Tuesday, flattening whole apartment buildings, leaving deep craters and sending hundreds of casualties to a hospital, where senior doctors said there were scores of dead.

Quote from The Wall Street Journal...

"The Israeli military said it was checking reports of strikes in that area."

The MSN.com photo of the alleged damage is a 100 yard X 100 yard crater with no building debris in it, surrounded by badly damaged multi-story buildings.

There is no link to the photo, so I assume copyright issues.

Almost every statement in this article implies - without proof - that Israel is responsible.

To my eye, it looks like a massive explosion of stock piled high explosive weapons.

100 yard by 100 yard(or meter) crater is a Big One.
It may suggest a penetrator, rather than a simple
surface blast.

I am not happy, but I am not sad either. It had to be done.

You shouldn’t live in or around your weapon storage depot is the moral of this story.

I guess Hamass ran out of hospitals and mosques to store their weapons under. A city apartment is the next best thing for propaganda purposes. The more cities deD, the greater the propaganda effect.

They hit a crap load of rockets and ammo that was stored underground, it blew up and Gazans fell in it..that’s what they get for voting in a terrorist organization who stores their rockets in a camp

That makes sense, and would constitute a perfectly legitimate target of war.

Yep, except according to a recent recording released by IDF, Hamass armed operatives are preventing cities from leaving. Hamass don’t GAS about cities in Gaza, they care about themselves. The more dead cities, the better the propaganda effect. Unfortunately, many will die because of Hamass, the terrorists they voted into power in 2007.

My point about the crater is the complete absence of building debris...

It looks like three acres of dust!

You might be able to see the photo at this link...

I have MSN.com set for my news interests, so the photo maybe coming up specifically for my account.

How do you fight an enemy who loves death more than life?

This is what we had to do in 1945.
