Preface
On this peaceful Christmas Eve, Israeli airstrikes have unleashed a tragedy in the Middle East. The smoky Gaza Strip is no longer bathed in the peace of Christmas, but is mired in a nightmare of the night. Israeli heavy air strikes and ground shelling have claimed at least 78 lives, with innocent women and children among them the greatest victims of the tragedy. And the trigger for all this stems from the response to Hamas and the use of force to suppress it.
Christmas Eve explosions were accompanied by the roar of F-16 fighter jets, drones, and Apache helicopters, and Bryje, Maigazi, and even the early morning Hanyounis were reduced to broken urban ruins. Palestinian health officials claimed it was the deadliest overnight in Hamas's 11-week fighting, describing the catastrophe as a "massacre, a terrorist attack against innocent civilians." The Israeli military argued that they were targeting Hamas military installations and personnel, not civilians. They said they would warn residents to evacuate by phone, leaflets, etc., before launching an attack, and even used so-called "knock bombs" to alert residents of impending large-scale bombing. The Palestinians insisted that it was a false warning, or that the time was too short for people to escape the threat of their lives.
In this bloody night, the distortion of history gradually emerged. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu went so far as to compare the conflict to the actions of the Allies against Nazi Germany and Japan during World War II, declaring that the response to Hamas was a "legitimate act of war."
The sound of explosions in the night
In the latest round of conflict in the Middle East, Israel has carried out deadly and devastating air strikes on the Gaza Strip. With enormous destructive power and countless lives lost, this war has left people in a state of cruelty.
The lives of innocent civilians are threatened, humanitarian aid is forced to be stranded, and religious sites are targeted. These events should give rise to deep reflection on the nature of war and its consequences. At this juncture, more international efforts are needed to strengthen the protection of civilians, promote peace talks and provide emergency humanitarian assistance. Mutual respect and understanding are key to de-escalating conflicts and building lasting peace. It is only through dialogue and cooperation that stability can be restored to the Middle East and new hope and opportunities can be brought to those who have experienced devastation and suffering.
The cry of the innocent
The Israeli military claims that they do their best to minimize harm to civilians. The Palestinians, however, disputed this and accused Israel of not strictly following the principles set out in international human rights law and international humanitarian law. This controversy has sparked more discussion about the protection of innocent lives between the two sides of the conflict. Alarmingly, even religious sites have been targeted in this conflict. The destruction and loss of mosques in southern Gaza has further raised global concerns about disruptions to the safety and respect of religious sites. Behind all faiths there is a group of people who are devoted to the spirit and seek spiritual sustenance and spiritual comfort, and any form of insult or destruction of these holy places is condemnable.
The edge of humanity
The Gaza Strip was the main target of the attack, with thousands of people facing threats and losing their homes. At least 78 innocent civilians have reportedly been killed. They are those who live a normal life in their own land, seeking happiness and tranquility, and have to face a tragic fate when this storm comes. The Gaza Strip's health system is also in unprecedented distress after airstrikes caused widespread damage to infrastructure and public service systems. Lack of supplies, medicines and health care workers has prevented the region from providing adequate relief to patients in urgent need of treatment and care. Despite the international community's ongoing calls for humanitarian assistance to the Gaza Strip, relief operations have become extremely difficult in a war-torn environment.
Disputes and Liability
The Israeli military claims that they are reviewing reports of incidents in an effort to minimize harm to civilians. Spokesman Jonathan Conrikas stressed that they were targeting Hamas military installations and personnel, not civilians. In order to reduce the harm, they claimed that they would warn residents to evacuate in advance through phone calls, leaflets, etc. The Palestinians disputed this, saying that Israeli warnings were often false or too late for people to escape. This has sparked international controversy over the legitimacy of Israeli air strikes.
Choices for the future
In a land of war and hatred, people are worried about the future. It is in the midst of such pain and predicament that one needs to look at one's choices more rationally. A genuine solution to the problem can only be found if all parties are willing to reject hatred and seek dialogue and cooperation. Otherwise, no matter how tough the attitude, it will only push the land into an endless abyss.
In the midst of this seemingly never-ending conflict, only rational thinking and equal dialogue can bring true peace to this suffering land. Otherwise, no amount of war will only cost the people of this region more, and the dawn of peace will be even more elusive.
