gaza terus menangis

bismillah..

serangan berdarah israel ke atas gaza masuk hari ketiga hari ini. setakat ini lebih 290 saudara kita di gaza syahid, manakala lebih 700 yang lain cedera. 7 kakitangan united nation (unwra) yang bertugas di dalam misi kemanusiaan di sana turut terkorban akibat serangan tersebut.

menurut media, israel laknatullah sudah mula menempatkan kereta-kereta kebal di sempadan gaza untuk menanti signal daripada pihak atasan untuk memulakan serangan atas darat, memburukkan lagi keadaan semasa di sana.

hari kedua serangan menyaksikan universiti Islam dan masjid utama gaza di antara yang menjadi sasaran. walaupun israel mendakwa mereka hanya menyerang pusat operasi hamas, sudah jelas mereka mensasarkan lebih dari itu, dan itulah matlamat mereka - menghapuskan bukan sahaja hamas akan tetapi seluruh gaza!

sementara itu masyarakat global di seluruh dunia - united kingdom, amerika, seluruh tanah arab malah di israel sendiri - terus mengadakan demonstrasi dan tunjuk perasaan membantah dan mendesak agar serangan tidak berperikemanusiaan yang dilakukan ke atas gaza dihentikan serta-merta. di lubnan, demonstrasi diadakan di hadapan kedutaan mesir mendesak kerajaan mesir untuk membuka sempadan rafah untuk membenarkan rakyat gaza menerima rawatan dan mendapat perlindungan di sana.

sekatan ke atas gaza masih berterusan - bekalan perubatan, makanan dan sumber tenaga terus disekat, meninggalkan rakyat gaza di dalam keadaan yang paling terdesak. peningkatan angka kematian antara lainnya disumbangkan oleh kekurangan medical supply, kelewatan menerima rawatan dan ketiadaan tempat di hospital-hospital gaza untuk menerima lebih ramai rakyat gaza yang cedera. penutupan sempadan rafah juga turut memburukkan keadaan. media, pasukan perubatan dan diplomat asing turut dilarang melintasi sempadan untuk memasuki dan memberi bantuan kepada gaza.

di saat ini sokongan masyarakat dunia sangat diperlukan untuk menyebelahi gaza. us ketika ini berpihak kepada israel. baik bush mahupun obama, kedua-duanya tidak memperdulikan nasib rakyat gaza ketika ini. mereka sebaliknya menyalahkan hamas sebagai punca serangan dilakukan terhadap gaza, namum mereka sengaja membutakan mata, memekakkan telinga terhadap apa yang dilakukan israel terhadap gaza sebelum ini - menyekat kemasukan sumber tenaga, makanan dan medical supply terhadap gaza - yang memaksa hamas untuk 'melakukan sesuatu'. un hanya sekadar menyatakan bantahan, namun masih tiada sebarang tindakan secara langsung dilakukan ke atas israel bagi menghentikan tindakan keji mereka. presiden palestin sendiri tidak mampu melakukan apa-apa selain terus menyalahkan hamas di atas apa yang berlaku.

di saat umat Islam gaza tidak mampu bertindak balas, umat Islam di serata dunia perlu bertindak dan terus menyatakan bantahan secara lantang dan jelas terhadap israel. berhenti menyokong mereka - boikot semua produk israel setakat yang mampu. teruskan berdoa dan bermunajat kepada Allah, semoga rakyat gaza diberikan ketabahan dan kekuatan untuk melalui kesengsaraan yang menimpa mereka, semoga Allah menurunkan tentera-tentera langit untuk membantu pejuang-pejuang Islam di gaza yang berada di dalam keadaan serba kekurangan untuk menghancurkan israel dan merahmati para syuhada yang syahid di jalanNya.

semoga israel dikalahkan dengan kekalahan yang memalukan. semoga Allah menurunkan bala dan azab yang pedih ke atas israel. semoga Allah menghancurkan negara haram israel!

we should stand for our brothers and sisters! pray hard for them, and may Allah destroys israel and their supporters!

Gaza braces for all-out war

Israeli forces have been massing on the border of the Gaza Strip as warplanes and helicopter gunships continue to pound the territory.

In the latest attacks overnight, Israeli aircraft bombed the Islamic university and a government compound in Gaza City.

Almost 300 Palestinians have been killed since Israel began the offensive on Saturday.

The ministry of health in Gaza has said that about five per cent of the dead were children, while the UN relief and works agency said figures gathered from local medics showed that 51 civilians have been killed.

A 14-month-old child, two women and a man were killed in an attack on the Jebaliya refugee camp near Gaza City late on Sunday, Palestinian medics said.

Tzipi Livni, the Israeli foreign minister, told the US media that Israel was only targeting Hamas and other armed Palestinian groups.

"Unfortunately in a war ... sometimes also civilians pay the price," she said.

She also told NBC's Meet The Press: "Our goal is not to reoccupy Gaza Strip."

Military build-up

However, with hundreds of troops and tanks being deployed along the edge of the territory there were growing fears that the offensive could escalate.

"The indications here on the ground are certainly that the build-up is there, that the preparations are there for a ground offensive," Al Jazeera's Hoda Abdel Hamid, reporting from Izmit in Israel, said.

The Israeli cabinet approved the call-up of 6,500 military reservists and Ehud Barak, Israel's defence minister, has warned that the air raids could be followed by a ground offensive.

"If it's necessary to deploy ground forces to defend our citizens, we will do so," Barak's spokesman quoted him as saying.

Earlier on Sunday, Israeli aircraft bombed the length of the Gaza-Egypt border, taking out tunnels used to smuggle in vital goods to the besieged strip.

Dozens of tunnels are said to criss-cross between southern Gaza and Egypt's Sinai desert, providing a lifeline to residents who are starved of basic supplies due to an 18-month-long Israeli blockade.

Avital Leibovitch, an Israeli army spokeswoman, said: "The air force just attacked over 40 tunnels found on the Gaza side of the border.

"We believe [they] were used for smuggling weapons, explosives and sometimes people," she said. "The pilots notified direct hits on these targets."

'Devastating blow'

Ayman Mohyeldin, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Rafah, a town split in half by the border, said at least one person died and 42 others were injured in the attacks on the tunnels.

"It's certainly a devastating blow to the civilian population in Gaza," he said, adding that speculation the tunnels might be hit had already caused the price of fuel and other goods to soar.

Palestinians attempting to flee the Israeli bombardment managed to breach the border fence with Israel, prompting clashes with security forces during which at least one person was killed.

Tensions at the crossing with Egypt, bypassing Israel, had risen during the day, with Egypt blaming Hamas for not letting wounded Palestinians through and Hamas asking for medical aid to be handed over.

Israel said it began its aerial assault on Gaza in response to rocket attacks launched by Hamas fighters into the south of the country.

A six-month truce between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip ended on December 19.

Israeli raid prompts intifada call

Khaled Meshaal, Hamas's political leader, has called for an uprising against Israel after an unprecedented attack on the Gaza Strip killed at least 220 Palestinians and wounded 700 more.

Israel launched Operation Cast Lead on Saturday, destroying Hamas police stations and interior ministry buildings.

It was the deadliest day in Gaza for decades, with Israel continuing to attack sites into the night and threatening that the operation would widen if necessary.

Ehud Olmert, the outgoing Israeli prime minister, described the assault as a war on Hamas, the Palestinian faction which took control of the Gaza Strip in June 2007.

Members of the Israeli cabinet say the attack is in response to an increase in the number of home-made rockets being fired into southern Israel since a ceasefire ended on December 19.

Carnage

Gaza witnesses reported heavy damage after more than 30 missiles were fired from helicopter gunships and fighter jets on about 40 different locations in the strip.

Many of the dead were police officers, including Tawfiq Jabber, the Gaza chief of police.

The toll is expected to rise further, with bodies still lying buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings. Hospitals, already suffering from shortages due to an 18-month blockade on the Gaza Strip, said they were struggling to cope with the number of injured, which included women and children.

Gaza is densely populated. Its 1.5 million residents area already experiencing shortages in power and basic supplies due to the siege which is widely condemned by human rights movements as a collective punishment.

In an exclusive interview with Al Jazeera, Meshaal, who lives in exile in Syria, said: "I call upon you [Palestinians] to carry out a third intifada [uprising]."

He called for a "military intifada against the Zionist enemy", as well as "a peaceful intifada internally", in reference to Hamas's power struggle with Mahmoud Abbas, the Palestinian president, whose government is based in the Israeli occupied West Bank.

Ugly massacre

Ismail Haniya, the Hamas leader in Gaza, called the assault Israel's "ugliest massacre".

"I call on Palestinians to remain united and together in the face of this crime, in the face of this massacre and continued aggression, targeting our soil and our citizens," he said.

Olmert, speaking in Tel Aviv on Saturday, said the operation would take time and called on Israelis to be "patient".

"The quiet we offered was answered with mayhem. Our desire for calm was answered with terror," he said.

"You are not our enemies. We do not fight against you," Olmert said in a direct address to Palestinians.

"[Terror organisations] are disastrous for both peoples. Israel is not fighting against the Palestinian people, and the targets attacked today were chosen with the intent of avoiding civilian casualties."

Long operation

Jacky Rowland, Al Jazeera's correspondent in Jerusalam, said: "People have been forewarned about further operations of this intesnsity for many days to come, with more sorties flown by Israeli planes and helicopters and more targets in Gaza.

"In response, more than 50 rockets were fired into Israel today. Defence officials are warning that there could be as many as 200 rockets fired every day into Israel in the days to come."

One Israeli was killed in rocket fire on Saturday.

Salam Fayyad, the Palestinian prime minister, condemned the attack and demanded an immediate cessation.

Many leaders added their voices to condemn the onslaught, including Ban Ki-moon, secretary-general of the UN, who called for an immediate cessation of hostilities.

Mousa Abu Morzouz, the deputy leader of Hamas, said: "Nobody in this world can accept what happened and the Israeli aggression ... [we expect] the international community to stand against this and say that it is not acceptable."

Mustafa Barghouthi, the former Palestinian information minister, said: "This is not an attack on Hamas. It is an attack on the whole population and the free will of the people of Gaza."

He accused Israel of committing "war crimes" and demanded that Abbas and his government stop all relations with Israel.

'Only just beginning'

The Israeli army released a statement on Saturday saying "terrorist installations" were hit and that all Israeli pilots returned unharmed.

Avi Benayahu, an Israeli military spokesman said: "The operation against Hamas is "only just beginning".

The air raids follow a breakdown of a six-month-old Israel-Hamas truce earlier this month.

The ceasefire expired on December 19, with Hamas arguing that Israel had violated the truce by preventing vital supplies from entering the Strip.

Egypt has opened the Rafah crossing with the Gaza Strip to receive injured people, Egyptian officials said. Ambulances have been sent to the crossing and two Egyptian hospitals emptied to take in the wounded.

Hamas won control of the Palestinian Legislative Council in elections in January 2005. The international community refused to accept a Hamas-led government, demanding that the faction recognise Israel and renounce violence. Economic sanctions by the EU and US followed.

Hamas took control of the Gaza Strip in June 2007 after bloody street battles against its rival, Fatah.
