ISRAEL BEGINS AIR STRIKES ON WEST BANK
January 18, 2024
Moving from Gaza now to the West Bank, Israel appears to be moving into the second phase of annihilation of the Palestinians by trying to exterminate them from the West Bank, which was considered relatively safer for Palestinians because Hamas did not control those areas.
So what excuse is Israel going to use this time for opening up this new violent and intensified front with air strikes and escalating raids, arrests, daily murders and maimings, setting traps using road blockages as an excuse to kill without any retribution.
Yesterday’s air strikes included targeting Abdullah Abu Shalal who is alleged to be directing attacks against the Israeli Occupation Forces in the West Bank.
I don’t get it, Israel is occupying the West Bank, this guy Abu Shalal, if he is who they say he is, is leading basically a resistance to fight the occupiers. How is that any different to the French Resistance organising attacks against the Pro-Nazi Vichy French during WWII or Sinn Fein in Northern Ireland or any other oppressed group fighting its oppressors?
NONE!! So, WHAT THE HELL IS GOING ON WITH THE WORLD?
They are trying to completely and utterly confuse and manipulate us as to who or what is
Right & Wrong.
Good & Bad.
Evil & Pure.
IT IS VERY BLOODY CLEAR!
LET’S NOT GET MAD.
LET’S GET EVEN!

English Script:
Al Jazeera news anchor: Now to the occupied West Bank, where Israel has carried out two airstrikes with one killing what it calls a high value target. Israeli forces targeted a car near Balata refugee camp, not far from the city of Nablus in one of the attacks. They say the strike killed Abdullah Abu Shalal, along with four other Palestinians. In Tulkarem, four Palestinians were killed in another drone strike. And that’s where Nida Ibrahim is for us in the occupied West Bank, where Nida, a large-scale raid is still under way at the refugee camp behind you there, tell us about what’s been happening.
Nida Ibrahim: Yeah, we just heard the loud sound coming from inside the Tulkarem refugee camp. We’ve been hearing similar sounds, but now we’re ducking because we are hearing the sounds of confrontations that are ongoing seemingly by the Palestinian fighters and the Israeli forces who have been raiding the refugee camp since the early hours of the morning. Now Noor Shams and the Tulkarem refugee camp seem to be the target of Israeli attacks. Now it seems that it’s a bit safer for us to stand, but again, this is kind of what we’ve been seeing since we arrived to Tulkarem, those confrontations that are ongoing between the Israeli forces and the Palestinian fighters. Now, we know that the Israeli forces come to those areas in particular because they’re targeting the Palestinian armed men. Some of them are in the Tulkarem refugee camp, some of them Nour Shams, others in Balata, as we’ve seen also earlier today. But again, it remains a tense situation. And I’m sure you can hear the sound of the Israeli drone. We’ve been hearing that sounds ever since we arrived to the area. This is part and parcel of Palestinians lives here in the occupied West Bank. Intense confrontations with the Israeli forces who raid cities, Palestinian cities and towns and villages and refugee camps, averaging more than 40 raids per day and subjecting Palestinians to killings, just as the one we’ve seen earlier today.
Al Jazeera news anchor: At the start of your live, we’ve heard the drone buzzing around you as well. A huge plume of black smoke in the sky over Tulkarem there. But it’s not the only area that the Israelis have been targeting across the occupied West Bank. There was also a drone strike in Balata.
Nida Ibrahim: Yes, there was a drone strike that took place early this morning in Balata Refugee Camp, which is just close to Nablus, to the north of the occupied West Bank, where the Israeli forces have said that they’ve targeted the car where the Abdullah Abu Shalal was when they hit it. Now, the Israeli forces have been trying to locate and really assassinate Abdullah Abu Shalal for a while now. according to the Israeli forces, they say he is accused of hiding and being the leader of a group, a Palestinian armed group that has been directing its attacks towards the Israeli Forces.
Now, the Israeli forces have taken the bodies of those Palestinians and as far as Palestinians were telling us that they’ve only found body members of one person of the five who have been hit by the strike, seemingly that four of them have been joining and were with Abdullah Abu Shalal when that strike took place.
