Bombardment in northern Gaza on ‘a scale we’ve never seen before’

Reporting from Khan Younis, Gaza
There was a huge bombardment in the north of Gaza strip on a scale we’ve never seen before.
Huge flames could be seen rising into the sky – it seemed they were using different types of bombs.
At the hospital here ambulance drivers told me they couldn’t communicate with anyone, so they were just driving in the direction of the explosions.
There’s been panic everywhere, even here in Khan Younis, where the bombing was less, as people try to reach family members in other areas to check they are safe, but the phones have been cut off.
He’s making a promise that he probably won’t have to fulfil, because nobody in the Gaza Strip has a Starlink terminal and Israel would probably refuse to allow them to be delivered.
Professor Adil Haque poignantly writes: “Investigate all of them. Hamas. The IDF. All of them. For everything. Prosecute all those responsible. All of them. Justice is not enough. But justice is all that is left.”
Israel’s communications minister Shlomo Karhi said that his office “will cut any ties with Starlink” following Elon Musk’s announcement that he will provide his Starlink satellite services to internationally recognized aid organizations in Gaza.
In a tweet on Saturday, Karhi wrote:
“Israel will use all means at its disposal to fight this. Hamas will use it for terrorist activities. There is no doubt about it, we know it, and musk knows it. Hamas is ISIS.
Perhaps Musk would be willing to condition it with the release of our abducted babies, sons, daughters, elderly people. All of them!
By then, my office will cut any ties with Starlink.”
