Twisted narratives promote the targeted assassinations of Palestinians "IndyWatch Feed War"
By Ramona Wadi | MEMO | June 20, 2023
A recent poll by the Palestinian Centre for Policy and Survey Research detailed how Palestinians are largely in favour of armed resistance against Israels settler-colonialism. More importantly, Palestinians have again asserted that they no longer need to take their cues from the main Palestinian political factions, indicating a sharp detachment from the politics of the previous years that monopolised resistance depending on factions and geographical territory.
In the poll, 71 per cent of Palestinians favoured the forming of armed resistance groups such as the Lions Den and the Jenin Battalion. The Palestinian Authority continued to lose favour among the people of occupied Palestine, with 80 per cent of survey participants against the surrender of members from resistance groups to the PA. In relation to this, 86 per cent of Palestinian respondents declared themselves to be against the PAs persecution of resistance group members.
Juxtaposed against these findings is the statement of Avigdor Lieberman, Israels former foreign minister and current head of the Yisrael Beiteinu party, who has called for a targeted assassination policy against Hamas leaders in Gaza. We cannot accept the rules of the game in which they can inflame Judea and Samaria while being immune in Gaza, said Lieberman, referring to Palestinian resistance in the occupied West Bank. He also called for a large-scale military operation in the occupied Palestinian territory to quash the resistance.
The current Palestinian resistance which is legitimate under international law does not follow the politics of Palestinian factions, preferring instead to maintain a unified front encompassing all groups. Moreover, support for Hamas in the occupied West Bank is not a recent phenomenon, but the result of the Fatah-led PAs corrupt existence.
Referring to the Israeli raid of the Jenin refugee camp in which five Palestinians were killed (a sixth has since died of his wounds), Hamas spokesman Hazem Qassem pointed out that, The resistance fighters from all factions were united on...

EXPLAINER: On What Happened in Jenin and the Possibility of a Full Israeli Attack on West Bank "ConflictWatch Feed Palestine"
The Israeli military has itself admitted to the destruction or damage to seven of its military vehicles, including a large troop carrier known as Panther, and also the destruction of a helicopter.
On Monday, June 20, Israeli occupation forces invaded parts of the northern Palestinian town of Jenin, and its refugee camp. The invasion, which has been routine in recent months, didnt go as planned.
Six Palestinians were killed by the Israeli military, including a child, Ahmed Saqr, and over 91 were reportedly wounded, including a journalist. According to eyewitnesses and a statement by the Palestinian Red Crescent society, the Israeli army intentionally hampered the work of medics that could have saved some of the lost lives.
Eight Israeli soldiers were injured, some of whom are reportedly in serious condition. The Palestinian Resistance said in a statement, a copy of which was received by the Palestine Chronicle, that the Israeli military is outright lying about its losses, due to fear of political repercussions.
Is the Israeli Military Hiding the True Number of Its Casualties?
The Palestinian claim was substantiated by three factors:
One, is the fact that the Israeli military has itself admitted to the destruction or damage to seven of its military vehicles, including a large troop carrier known as Panther, and also the destruction of a helicopter.
Two, the fact that it took the Israeli army hours to evacuate its damaged vehicles and its wounded due to the stiff resistance, and the siege imposed on invading Israeli troops in the Jenin neighborhood of Jabriyat.
Three, the fact that Israel had to resort to the use of its air force for the first time since the Second Palestinian Uprising (Intifada) over 20 years ago.
Who Were the Palestinians Involved in the Fighting?
Although fighters from all main Palestinian Resistance groups took part in the Monday battle, two dominant forces were involved: Izz ed-Din Al-Qassam, the military wing of the political movement Hamas, and the Jenin Brigades, a branch of the Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Islamic Jihad.
While Al-Qassam fighters have reportedly been the ones that ambushed the Israeli force in the Jenin camp, the Jenin Briga...

Shut Elbit Down trial begins "ConflictWatch Feed Palestine"
Two activists from Palestine Action who succeeded in occupying and shutting down UAV tactical Systems (U-tacS), an Israeli drone manufacturer in Leicester currently besieged by Palestine Action, will begin their trial today, charged with criminal damage over 8000. The 7-day trial started today on Monday 19th June and will take place at Leicester Crown Court.
The milestone action took place during May 2021 as the Israeli military bombarded Gaza using Elbits weaponry, murdering over 260 Palestinians, including 67 children. Once activists scaled the building, hundreds from the local community mobilised in support. The Leicester fire brigade were called by police to remove the activists from the roof of the factory, but...
