very heartbreaking to think about it. These women and men are brave heros who were killed by coward terrorists. Another day another war crime by the Israeli government
Singapore itself is an Israeli ally and has been trying to frame the whole war as just a case of racial and religious disagreement rather than colonialism. It is also participating in Operation Prosperity Garden (the US-backed operation to stop Ansar Allah from enforcing the red sea blockade on Israel). I feel for the charity workers. The government's hands however are stained with both Palestinian and Singaporean blood.
They also have one of the most sophisticated communications technology. They had spies everywhere. 2,900 people attacked and they didn't have one spy to tell them a date...
According to The New York Times, Israeli officials had obtained detailed attack plans more than a year before the attack. The document described operational plans and targets, including the size and location of Israeli forces, and raised questions in Israel about how Hamas learned these details.
The Times reported, "Hamas followed the blueprint with shocking precision."
In July 2023, a member of the Israeli signals intelligence unit alerted her superiors that Hamas was conducting preparations for the assault, saying, "I utterly refute that the scenario is imaginary". An Israeli colonel ignored her concerns.
They were killed after an air strike that targeted an inhabited house near a United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees school sheltering those displaced.
Ah I see they doubled down by hitting two definitely totally Hamas targets with one bomb.
