Two Israeli soldiers were killed in Gaza and one Israeli soldier was killed in the West Bank on Tuesday as the IDF continued to crack down on Hamas.
Master Sgt. (res.) Nadav Elchanan Knoller, 30, from Jeruslaem and Maj. (res.) Eyal Avnion, 25, from Hod Hasharon were killed in combat in central Gaza while Sgt. First Class (res.) Yehuda Geto, from Pardes Hanna-Karkur, was killed by an explosive device in the Nur al-Shams refugee camp in the West Bank.
Hamas said 25 people were killed in three different strikes in Gaza in the past 24 hours. The terror organisation doesn’t distinguish between civilians and members of Hamas when announcing death toll, nor is it possible to independently verify the numbers.
The IDF said it struck 30 “terror targets” the areas of Shejaiya, Rafah, and central Gaza in the past 24 hours, while “dozens of terrorist infrastructure sites above and below ground were dismantled, including tunnel shafts, weapons storage facilities and a structure from which an anti-tank missile was fired at the troops.”
As Israel called on civilians to evacuate from Khan Younis, COGAT (Coordinator of the Government Activities in the Territories) announced on Tuesday that a much needed new power line from Israel has been directly connected to a water desalination plant managed by UNICEF in the city.
This desalination plant supplies drinking water to the areas of Deir al-Balah, Khan Yunis, and al-Mawasi, where a large percentage of Gazans are currently located, COGAT said in a statement, adding that the plant is only producing 5,000 cubic meters of water a day.
“With the new power line from Israel, the plant will ramp up production to 20,000 cubic meters of drinking water per day. The power line is connected directly to the desalination plant in order to prevent any attempts by Hamas or other terrorist actors from exploiting the supply of electricity.”
The move, however, was harshly criticised by Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich, who said: “We completely lost our minds. We are rehabilitating Gaza with our own hands before its demilitarisation.”
Smotrich called on Netanyahu to “stop this folly. This time, nobody will be able to claim ignorance, unlike in the case of the release of the director of the terror command centre in Al-Shifa, yesterday.”
Israel is still under pressure from the international community to draw up a viable plan for post-war Gaza.
Netanyahu has rejected the idea of allowing the Palestinian Authority to assume control over Gaza again, but Times of Israel reported that the prime minister has changed his position on the issue in recent weeks.
Netanyahu has reportedly realised that only PA-affiliated individuals in Gaza will be able to take control with the enclave, instead of just “local” Palestinians.
Commentary – July 2, 2024
The comments by Israeli Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich exemplify how unhinged and deluded many Zionists have become.
The “director of the terror command centre in Al-Shifa” referred to by Finance Minister Betzalel Smotrich was Mohammed Abu Salmiya, who was in fact the director of the al-Shifa hospital in Gaza.
After storming the hospital and forcing patients and staff to leave, the Israelis detained Mohammed Abu Salmiya for seven months, during which time he claims he was beaten and tortured.

I have no sympathy for those who seek war. Those fools who march off into a battle, when no battle need be fought, deserve everything that they get. The wrong that they do; the innocents they kill, all for the Jew (and thus Satan – Hebrew for adversary).
It actually gladdens me, greatly, to know that IDF are dying, en masse (if it’s actually true that is). What would make me happier is if they actually conscripted EVERY Jew, in the world, into the IDF and this population decrease continued, at a growing rate. I am not saddened, in the least, when I hear about Jewish expiration. While the Jew controlled, western msm, continues to promote that Israel has every right to defend itself, I’m happy to see that more and more people are waking up to the lies and the Jewish persecution of the Palestinian peoples over the last 70+ years. When one looks at the deaths, those of Palestinians VASTLY outweigh Israelis. That said, what CANNOT and MUST NEVER be forgotten are the European deaths at the hands of the Jew, which vastly outweigh all outside of it. The Crimean and Boer wars, followed by WW1, Russian Revolution, WW2, Korea, Vietnam and all conflicts thereafter, have been Jew instigated wars.
When you understand how much wrong, how many deaths these evil parasites have caused, you become completely desensitised to Jewish deaths. Let the slaughter continue. Come on Mr Jew, off you pop to Israel and put on your uniforms. Satan is calling you back home.
Check out the source ‘Jewish News’. More fictitious dead Jews being reported to convince the morons the struggle against a non-existent enemy is real.

Yes, I have seen a lot of videos of allegedly “Hamas”-fighters attacking the bastards, the Zionist Jewish terrorists who have been massacring the internees of the largest concentration camp in the world through all times, Gaza, for 9 months now. All the videos seem to be fake.
John:
yeah all these ‘hamas’ vids are bogus
