Soon, the last sliver of electricity and connection will be exhausted. If I die, remember that I, we, were individuals, humans, we had names, dreams, and achievements, and our only fault was that we were just classified as inferior.
An Israeli sniper shot and killed Razan Al Najjar, a 21 year old Palestinian nurse known for her daily presence at the
#GreatReturnMarch
in Gaza.
Her memory as a hero and angel of mercy will outlast her murderer.
My wife is the first fully certified female psychiatrist in
#Gaza
. I asked her if she started seeing children traumatized by the latest escalation few days ago. She said they were not finished seeing kids who were shell shocked during the 2021 war yet. 🤕
I'd like to use this brief internet connection to mourn my cousin, colleague Mohammad, who co-authored this scientific paper with me and was killed in a Friday Oct. 13 Israeli strike before it went online. If I am killed too, let it be my last contribution
My son is reminiscing about "that time we visited KFC in Amman." He is obviously trying to fold into a safe place of his imagination after all other options were exhausted in vain.

Refaat
@itranslate123
visited me in a dream tonight.
I told him everyone mourned him, and that all on Twitter were sad for him.
"I want to see that turned into action." He told me. Then he left.
So typical of Refaat, in life and in death.
Media from Jerusalem is reporting that Israeli forces have detained
@kurd_muna
and are searching for her brother
@m7mdkurd
. Both are known for their activism to
#SaveSheikhJarrah
.
Israel banned international journalists from entering
#Gaza
, and we don't have internet, so the world is left with a one-sided coverage with many missed details and many falsehoods
Israel let a million covid vaccines expire while millions of Palestinians under its military rule remained unvaccinated. Then, it arranged a swab where Palestinians would get the expired doses in exchange for a future fresh batch that was destined for us!!
#TrueStory
FYI: Israel has for 2 months now been blocking all postal services to/from
#Gaza
. Passports, visa applications, and all sorts of legal papers are stuck, with countless lives and opportunities left in limbo
I also mourn my student Bisan, a future doctor whose life was cut too short. Here, she mourns her teacher Mohammad hours before she herself was killed in another Israeli strike.
Palestinian communities inside the green line (1948 borders) are erupting in support of

and solidarity with

. Clashes and protests are reported in Afoula, Lod, Acre, Galilee, and others

Muhammad Abu Teima, 25, was killed in an Israeli air strike in Khanyounis today. He was a farmer. This is an old video of him. In it, he wears a vest to identify himself to the Israeli watchtowers. His whole life, like all of us, was daily jeopardy. RIP!
#GazaUnderAttack
No mention of a ceasefire, let alone ending the occupation. Gradually,"some" countries are pressing to let food in (i.e. we may live long enough to get killed by violent means).
Even then, only 20 trucks are let into
#Gaza
(500 needed daily).
This is wrong on uncountable levels.
Israel is generously (and provokingly) sharing graphic videos of the latest strikes in
#Gaza
, showing the very last seconds in the lives of the victims. One was lying down. Another was having a phone call.

Breaking: Al-Jalaa tower, home to the offices of

This man taught me in medical school. He was an astute physician and a humanitarian. Israel leveled his block with strikes, murdering him and scores of other Palestinians. Rest in peace, a hero.

In the past few days, Israel has:
Stopped fuel shipments to
#Gaza
power plant
Reduced fishing area from 12 to 6 nautical miles only
Since May:
Blocked 70% of much-needed imports
Prevented all sorts of exports

My son's schoolmate was killed in the Israeli air strikes on
#Gaza
. His first intimate encounter with Israel's barbarity. I don't know how to break it to him. Any tips?
Ten bodies were pulled from under the rubble in different areas of the
#Gaza
Strip, raising the death toll to 243. Victims include 66 children, 39 women, and 17 of the elderly.
Dozens of air strikes hit sites across the
#Gaza
Strip over the last hour. Israeli army described the still ongoing assault as the "largest air campaign since the 2014 operation protective edge".

Israel just bombed a building at the very center of

city and next to its 2 biggest universities and a park. Reports of several casualties, some in critical condition.
Live | Al-Jalaa tower owner negotiating with Israeli army officer over phone: give me few more minutes to make sure everyone is out!!
The officer refused.
July 20, this day 4 years ago, Israel kills nearly 120 Palestinian civilians in Gaza's Shujaiya with indiscriminate bombardment and artillery. We will not forget.
Israel unexpectedly blocked all crossings to
#Gaza
4 days ago. Fuel shortages were expected to materialize in few days. The insufficient power plant was going to shut down tomorrow. Then the strikes happened!

In a Facebook post written 2 weeks ago, photojournalist Yaser Murtaja writes of his wish to take photos from the air, not the ground, and says: "My name is Yasser Murtaja. I'm 30. I live in Gaza City and all my life I've never traveled."
Israel killed him yesterday.
Breaking: Israeli forces invade Jenin refugee camp, occupied West Bank, killing 2 Palestinians. One of the victims was an on-duty doctor who was shot by Israeli snipers.
If you heard about Israel bombing the building witg AP and Al Jazeera offices, you would be interested to know that Israel systematically flattens houses and highrise buildings in

To Joe Biden: Regarding the "humanitarian corridor" idea, be reminded that the last time Palestinians left their homes was in 1948, and they haven't been back ever since.

Very concerned by the situation in Israel and Gaza.
I condemn indiscriminate attacks by Hamas on Israel.
Civilians on all sides must be protected.
Violence must end now.
