Terror state again shows its rogue status
The Israeli rogue state today murdered two Palestinians in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, including a young boy, during the supposed ceasefire in which Israeli captives have been released – and tried to kill a man who attempted to retrieve the child’s body.
In a caption accompanying his Instagram post of the video of the aftermath of the child’s murder, Palestinian journalist Hossam Shbat described the murder of the child, who was shot in the head by an occupation sniper, apparently while tending a donkey:
The Israeli occupation army executes the child Zakaria Hamid Yahya Barghouth in cold blood near Al-Awda roundabout in the center of Rafah city, and shoots at another person who tried to retrieve his body, in a blatant violation of the ceasefire agreement.
Two Palestinian civilians, one of them a teenage boy, were killed by Israeli snipers in southern Gaza’s Rafah.
On the same day, the second of the ceasefire, according to the Humanti human rights group, Israel also:
• shot and wounded 8 other Palestinians, including children
• drone-bombed civilians in the street in Rafah, wounding several
• killed a civilian when a booby-trap detonated
• shot and wounded two people in the so-called ‘Netzarim corridor’ area in central Gaza
• shot another victim in the al-Bureij camp
The shootings happened as Israel released ninety hostages, then arbitrarily detained dozens more in the West Bank to replace them and Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu promised to resume the assault on Gaza as soon as the first forty-two days of the ceasefire are over. Israel also bombed civilians on Sunday morning, after the ceasefire was supposed to have begun. Neither the UK ‘mainstream’ media nor PM Keir Starmer have even mentioned the murders.
The rogue state cannot be trusted with anything.

What a shame that the MSM do not report the truth without fear or favour. Journalism in the MSM – “print/website” and broadcast is totally non-existent. Hence the total obsession with set piece (non) news such as the minutiae of Trump’s inauguration. The only folk worse than journalists are politicians, especially those in the UK.
The Rats had no intensions of a ceasefire They don’t want journalists inside Gaza because they will expose the real atrocity’s it’s just a matter of time before the blame game starts again and the west will put it dawn to Hamas who broke the agreement and the baby killers will be back doing what they are good at Killing women and KIDS
