A man set himself on fire at the Israeli embassy in DC. Earlier reports did not include this: “The individual, wearing fatigues, introduces himself as “an active duty member of the U.S. Air Force and I will no longer be complicit in genocide.”” And he continues yelling “Free Palestine.” [@palestine](https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine)

@matunos @palestine @Alon @israel I’m sorry - I’ve seen mountains of false evidence and it has not abated since 7 Oct. General rule: do not turn to US PAO, or the Egyptian army spokesman or the Shin Bet account for anything but the current official statement which is ephemeral (will change by tomorrow) but part of the info war. All the lies or half lies on tunnels have a purpose - to justify flattening arial bombardment & ground invasions to then “clean out” tunnels. Negotiating would be far preferable.

@israel @Alon @palestine The opposite. From Day 2 when I had to appear on BBC and ISR IDF spokesman was on, I’ve heard nothing but lies, deflections and twists - this idea that a rescue requires massive bombardments as a “distraction” is a good example

@Alon @israel @palestine yes - it simply wasn’t posted yet by sources that I trust - of course, naturally one must kill 100+ and bomb a mosque to carry out a rescue in one apartment

@israel @palestine according to Al Mayadeen, casualties are now up to 100
Israel began bombing Rafah about 4 hours ago and casualties of at least 63 - who knows how many by morning. I just saw ppl shroud a dead baby. [@palestine](https://a.gup.pe/u/palestine) [@israel](https://a.gup.pe/u/israel)

@israel @palestine Noha Tarnopolsky: « Preliminary IDF investigation of the friendly fire killing of 3 Israeli hostages in Gaza indicates escaped captivity & were walking down a Suja'iyya alley, hands raised…and brandishing a white flag. 🏳️ IDF mistakenly identified them as terrorists. Against standing orders, 2 were shot. The 3rd hostage survived & ran into a nearby structure, shouting HELP! in Hebrew. The IDF commander thought it was a hoax and also shot him dead. https://nitter.net/ntarnopolsky/status/1735987457705816249?s=46&t=zQu0l2rebw1qkMx4YEvA_A
