💢 NEW: “It Was Not a Strike, It Was an Earthquake”: Israel Levels Displacement Tents in Beit Lahia
Israeli forces destroyed a cluster of displacement tents and homes in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip, on Monday evening, ordering residents to flee with ten minutes’ notice before flattening everything they owned.
The area sits about a kilometer from the “Yellow Line,” the position Israeli forces hold inside Gaza, and comes under daily shelling, Drop Site contributor Abdel Qader Sabbah reports.
Jamal Ahmed al-Asal told Drop Site that Israeli intelligence phoned and gave his family minutes to evacuate a small plot where they grew vegetables to survive. “We left with nothing. We left quickly, and that was it. In only ten minutes, what can you take? All our belongings remained and were buried.”
“We are peaceful in our homes. We don’t harm anyone… We have no part in any of these stories,” he said. “No water, no electricity. We don’t even have a life. And this came and finished us off.”
Abu Muadh al-Asal, a second resident, said the family was ordered to the main road, then another 150 meters back to a camp, before the F-16 strike hit. “It was not a strike; it was an earthquake,” he said. “The entire Gaza Strip may have heard this strike because of how loud it was.”
He called it a flagrant breach of the ceasefire and rejected any pretext for it. “We were sitting here in our house, safe. No resistance, nothing at all,” he said. “These tanks are firing at us every day.”
Asked where his family would go, he said there was nowhere left: “You go to the port, the ‘safe zone,’ there are still strikes. There is no safe place in the Gaza Strip… They tell you it’s a safe place. This is all a lie.”
He said no one trusts Israel to honor the truce. “The Israelis are not reliable… The tanks could be here at any moment. Every day the army pushes closer to the Yellow Line, kilometer by kilometer.”

Here is Netanyahu saying from the river to the sea. I guarantee you American media will never report on it. They said it was genocidal when Palestinians said it, even though Palestinian version is about freedom. Netanyahu version is about erasing Palestine - actually genocidal.
🚨HORRIBLE: 54 Palestinian children killed in the West Bank in just six months.
According to B’Tselem, Israel killed 54 Palestinian children and youth in the occupied West Bank during the first half of 2025.
Since October 2023, 241 Palestinian children and youth have been killed there, while delays in medical care, obstruction of ambulances, and the withholding of children’s bodies have compounded families’ suffering.
