Airstrikes, explosive vehicles, and bulldozers cause ‘insane’ destruction in Gaza City, eyewitnesses and civil defense say. The Israeli army is using airstrikes, rigged explosive APCs, and bulldozing operations to level neighborhoods and displacement centers in Gaza City. Eyewitnesses and local officials say it is to cause mass flight and prevent residents from returning.│Modoweiss│28 August 2025. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/08/airstrikes-explosive-vehicles-and-bulldozers-cause-insane-destruction-in-gaza-city-eyewitnesses-and-civil-defense-say/
'Earthquake-like': Israeli bombing rocks Gaza City as occupation threat looms. Palestinians say recent explosions are more powerful and terrifying than ever, leaving families trapped and fearful as Israeli forces close in.│Middle East Eye│29 August 2025.
A resident of al-Saftawi neighbourhood, also in the north of the city, Matar and his wife were startled awake by what he described as a “frightening sound of movement".
At around 4:45am, the couple realised the sound had come from a remotely controlled Israeli military robot. The robots, which carry explosives, have been widely used by Israeli forces during the ongoing invasion of Gaza, often targeting civilian homes. Their use in Gaza City has become almost a daily occurrence during the latest escalation. Residents recognise them by the powerful and deafening explosions they cause. “The explosions feel like an earthquake,” said Matar. www.middleeasteye.net/news/gaza-israel-earthquake-blasts-rock-occupation-threat-looms
From Guernica to Gaza: The Detached Cruelty of Air Power [Robots and Drones]. Killing from the sky has long offered the sort of detachment that warfare on the ground can’t match. Far from its victims, air power remains the height of modernity.│Informed Comment│Norman Solomon│29 August 2025.
[The]stepped-up U.S. military aid to Israel has enabled its air power to systematically kill Palestinian children, women, and men with the kind of industrial efficiency that fascist leaders of the 1930s and 1940s might have admired. The daily horrors in Gaza still echo the day when bombs fell on Guernica. But the scale of the carnage is much bigger and unrelenting in Gaza, where atrocities continue without letup, while the world looks on.
Funded by US and assisted by tech companies such as Google, Israel executes a very modern remote approach to [warfare] genocide by employing 24/7, in addition to air power, surveillance drones, quadcopter drones equipped with missiles, guns and grenades, and robots carrying substantial explosive devices.
Israeli quadcopters terrorize and target civilians in Gaza. In recent days, the Israeli occupation army has intensified its use of quadcopter drones as tools of psychological intimidation, surveillance, and direct killing, particularly in areas where civilians have sought refuge after being forcibly displaced from northern Gaza. This systematic pattern appears aimed at stripping away any sense of safety and turning displacement zones into death traps.│Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor│1 June 2025. https://euromedmonitor.org/en/article/6747/Israel-intensifies-use-of-quadcopters-to-terrorise-and-target-civilians-in-Gaza,-with-terrifying-sounds-and-home-invasions
In Israel, ‘animals in human form’ may be killed. Studies consistently show that Jewish Israelis view Palestinians as less than human. This deep-seated racism is rooted in the Zionist colonial project and helps explain the broad support for the Gaza genocide. │Mondoweiss│31 August 2025.
Jews are not inherently more or less cruel than members of other groups. But in Israel, Jews live in a colonial political context that demands ever-increasing dehumanization and a continual depreciation of Palestinian life. The need to justify the ongoing dispossession since 1948, the regime of Jewish supremacy, and the deadly repression of the resistance that followed—all require Israelis to diminish the humanity of Palestinians. https://mondoweiss.net/2025/08/in-israel-animals-in-human-form-may-be-killed/
IDF declares famine-hit Gaza City a combat zone, ending ‘tactical pauses’ that allowed limited food delivery. Around one million Palestinian people expected to be displaced in shattered city where famine has been declared.│The Guardian│29 August 2025. www.theguardian.com/world/live/2025/aug/29/gaza-famine-israel-middle-east-lastest-news-updates
Mayhem, chaos’ in Gaza City as Israel intensifies attacks, killing 47. Israel steps up deadly attacks as it pushes ahead with campaign to seize Gaza City and push out 1 million people.│Al Jazeera│30 August 2025.
On Friday, the Israeli military said it had begun the “initial stages” of its offensive, declaring the largest urban centre in the territory a “combat zone”.
The head of the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC), Mirjana Spoljaric Egger, condemned Israel’s offensive, saying its order for trapped civilians to evacuate saying the mass evacuation of the city was “unfeasible and incomprehensible. Such an evacuation would trigger a massive population movement that no area in the Gaza Strip can absorb, given the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure and the extreme shortages of food, water, shelter and medical care.” www.aljazeera.com/news/2025/8/30/we-are-on-the-streets-palestinians-flee-israels-assault-on-gaza-city
