'Strange' quiet in northern Gaza
2024-06-17
[Al Jazeera] While attacks continue in southern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, residents in the north say there’s been an unusual day of quiet.
"It's... quiet, Mahmoud!"!"
"Too quiet! Watch out for [KABOOM!]"
"Aaaaiiieee! I am undone!""

"Since this morning, we’ve felt a sudden calm with no gunfire or bombings... It’s strange," said Haitham al-Ghura, 30, from Gaza City.
"Too strange! Watch out for [RAT-TAT-TAT-TAT!]
[THUD!]

AFP news agency correspondents reported there were no reports of strikes or shelling since dawn. The brief respite in fighting allowed worshippers a rare moment of calm on the Eid al-Adha
...a major Moslem holiday, marked by animal sacrifice and ritual rioting...
holiday.
"It's... calm!"
"Too calm! Look out for [CHOMP!]"
"Ripley!"

The sound of prayers travelled down some of Gaza City’s destroyed and abandoned streets. For many, a halt in fighting can never bring back what has been lost.
"Al-walla-walla-ding-dog-al-hulla..."
"[SNARL! CHOMP!]"

"We’ve lost many people, there’s a lot of destruction," said Umm Muhammad al-Katri from Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza.
"Mother alKatri! Hide us!"
"HROWWWWRRR!"
"Mother al-Katri! What big teeth you have!"

At least 37,296 people have been killed in Gaza, also mostly civilians, since the war began in October, according to the Hamas propaganda health ministry.
"CHOMP! CHOMP! DROOL!"
