Thanks to Trump's embassy move, #Nakba70 protests start a day early. Israeli army expects West Bank protests & 100,000 demonstrators in #Gaza, is preparing to use lethal force against them & again threatens to air bomb Gaza. 49 Palestinians killed & 9,545 wounded so far in Gaza
And here is my #thread about developments related to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict from yesterday
Remember how @IDFSpokesperson claims snipers shoot only "terrorists" who threaten Israel? Well, @declanwalsh witnessed how Israeli sniper shot a Palestinian woman in the stomach for taunting the soldiers sheltering on the other side of the #GazaFence nyti.ms/2Gb1Nv7
#BREAKING: 1st casualty of the day: Palestinian media report a protester wounded from Israeli fire near the #GazaFance
#BREAKING: @IDFSpokesperson confirms 2 Palestinians shot already near the #GazaFence. According to the army estimates, 1000s of protesters are already near the fence

#report: Egypt offered Hamas a permanent opening of the Rafah crossing in return for an end to the #GreatReturnMarch protests. So far Hamas didn't cancel any protest
Israeli army confirms another drone fell in Gaza
& for the comic relief. Israeli "Justice" minister @Ayelet__Shaked just said that @realDonaldTrump is the "modern day Churchill" & kept a straight face
#NotTheOnion
#update: another Palestinian reportedly shot near the #GazaFence. So far, Palestinian media report 5 protesters shot by Israeli soldiers today, including a teenage girl
In the past, Israeli army has deliberately used violence to push Palestinians to respond in kind & abandon their non-violent protests.
So far the #GreatReturnMarch didn't fall for that. 49 Palestinians killed, but not a single Israeli hurt & not 1 rocket fired from Gaza

At least 18 Palestinians killed & 448 wounded from Israel live ammo today - 50 in critical/serious condition - Gaza MoH
BTW, while the bloodbath in Gaza continues, Israeli religious politicians, journalists & other tweeps are talking in messianic terms about @realDonaldTrump's "divine" decision to open the embassy in Jerusalem today. This is scary madness
#BREAKING: 25 protesters killed in Gaza today - #Gaza MoH.
74 Palestinians killed in Gaza since the #GreatReturnMarch started. 1 Israeli soldier was lightly wounded during that period

Hamas confirms 4 of its members killed during the protests in #Gaza today
#BREAKING: at least 37 protesters killed during the protests in #Gaza today - Gaza MoH

The @nytimes push notification is just nauseating: there was *1* @IDFSpokesperson report of gunfire that didn't hurt anyone
#BREAKING: 38 Palestinians killed, including 6 minors - 1 of them a girl. 1,703 wounded, 772 of them from Israeli live ammo - Gaza MoH. There are 86 wounded in critical/serious condition & the hospitals in #Gaza are not able to help all the wounded & ask the world for help
#video of the Israeli airstrike in Gaza
As @realDonaldTrump & @netanyahu are celebrating the new US embassy in Jerusalem, hospitals un #Gaza are collapsing trying to treat over 700 protesters injured by Israeli live ammo. At least 38 already killed
This is what's happening in Jerusalem right now. How many more people will be killed in Gaza until this ceremony ends?
Meanwhile, @IL_police has stopped buses carrying Palestinians with Israeli citizenship who wanted to protest against the new US embassy from reaching Jerusalem
#TheOnlyDemocracyInTheMiddleEast
#BREAKING: 2 more Palestinians killed in #Gaza. So far, 41 Palestinians killed today & in total, 90 killed since the #GreatReturnMarch protests started on March 30 - Gaza Moh

Israeli deputy foreign minister: I tell my colleagues that there is no connection between the opening of the US embassy & the events in #Gaza
#NewSpeak
#NotTheOnion
#Gaza MoH in a desperate call for help from the international community after the health system in #Gaza in overwhelmed with almost 2,000 wounded just today, over 918 of them injured by Israeli live ammo
Video of some of the Israeli airstrikes in #Gaza today. @IDFSpokesperson says Israeli aircraft & a tank attacked 7 "Hamas targets" in #Gaza today in response to attempts to breach the #GazaFence
#correction: Israeli tanks are bombing "Hamas targets" in #Gaza
(I erased & corrected this tweet)
Meanwhile in the US embassy ceremony in Jerusalem, & Antisemitic & Islamophobic American preacher has a message for the Islamic world
#Gaza hospitals are just unable to deal with the number of casualties
#BREAKING: 2 more Palestinians killed in #Gaza. The number of deaths today is now 43. The Gaza MoH shared the names.& ages of those killed, that includes only 5 minors (not 7 as reported earlier)
#update: 43 protesters killed & 2,238 wounded so far today in #Gaza. 1,113 injured by Israeli live ammo.
Since the #GreatReturnMarch started on March 30, 92 Palestinians killed & almost 13,000 injured - #Gaza MoH
#update: some Israeli journalists claim @HamasInfoEn ordered demonstrators to stop the protests. News media in #Gaza deny the report
#BREAKING: @UNHumanRights commissioner after killing of over 40 protesters in #Gaza: “Shocking killing of dozens, injury of hundreds by Israeli live fire in #Gaza must stop now... Those responsible for outrageous human rights violations must be held to account"
Some people find inspiration in the way the Israeli army is killing dozens of unarmed demonstrators
#video of the new Israeli tear gas drone in action. The Israeli army has been testing this new technology on the #GreatReturnMarch protesters. Some were killed & severely injured from direct hits by tear gas canisters
The @IL_police officers used violence against demonstrators protesting the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem today. Israeli parliament members were also beaten
#BREAKING: 52 Palestinians killed & 2,410 wounded so far today in #Gaza - Gaza MoH. The number of Palestinians killed since the #GreatReturnMarch protests started is now 101 & over 12,000 injured
Just to be clear: more Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers in #Gaza today than the number of Palestinians killed in all other #GreatReturnMarch protests combined. & the only reason the protesters marched for the #GazaFence today was the opening of the US embassy in Jerusalem
#update: PA president Mahmoud Abbas declared 3 days of mourning following the killing of protesters in #Gaza, but Israeli defense reporters say the Israeli army is satisfied with the way the PA security forces prevented protests against Israel in the West Bank today
#update: 1,204 Palestinians were wounded by Israeli live ammo today in #Gaza. 116 in serious/critical condition - Gaza MoH. Over 3,000 protesters shot by Israeli soldiers using live ammo since the #GreatReturnMarch started. 101 died. Here's an example of how it looks like
In #Gaza today, over 1,200 unarmed protesters were shot today by Israeli soldiers using live ammo. At least 52 died, 5 of them minors. Meanwhile in Tel Aviv, 1000s of Israelis are celebrating the #Eurovision victory
Here is another @IDFSpokesperson video of what happened today. The Israeli army has cameras watching every inch of the #GazaFence, yet there isn't any evidence of Palestinians w guns or any violence that will excuse firing live ammo at over 2,000 unarmed protesters & killing 52
At least 12 journalists were injured during the #GreatReturnMarch protests in #Gaza today
And some @WHO data about Israeli attacks on medical presonnel in #Gaza. Gaza MoH reports a paramedic was shot to death near the fence today trying to rescue wounded protesters
And more about the messianic tendencies in the US embassy opening ceremony in Jerusalem, that happened when Israeli soldiers shot over 2000 unarmed protesters & killed at least 52
And after what looked like the Israeli & US administration suffer both from Jerusalem Syndrom while Israeli soldiers killed at least 52 unarmed protesters in #Gaza, the White House is backing the Israeli government actions & saying Israel has the right to defend itself
#BREAKING: Israeli soldiers killed 55 Palestinians in #Gaza today, including 7 minors (1 them a girl) 2,771 were injured
1359 people were shot using live ammo
130 are in critical/serious condition
225 minors & 79 women injured
1 paramedic killed & 17 injured
- Gaza MoH
Gaza MoH announces Egypt has agreed to help treat the 1,760 protesters hospitalized today in #Gaza & send much-needed medicine. The health system in Gaza was overwhelmed by the # of injured today & seriously wounded had to wait a long time for operating theaters to clear
#BREAKING: Israeli army is again threatening to assassinate @HamasInfoEn leaders if the #GreatReturnMarch protests continue.
The army threatened before to bomb Gaza if many protesters try to breach the #GazaFence & that's what happened today, so...
& in Jerusalem, they used a different type of explosives today
Some protesters tried to reconnect to reality the 10,000s of Israelis who chose escapism & came out today to celebrate the Israeli #Eurovision victory in Rabin square in central Tel Aviv. They failed
#update (based on Gaza MoH data): 55 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces, including 6 children (1 female). Among the fatalities was one health worker. 2,771 people injured, including 1,359 by live ammo, with 130 people in a critical condition
ochaopt.org/content/fifty-…
#BREAKING Turkey has recalled ambassadors in Tel Aviv *and Washington* for consultations following today's events in #Gaza - @anadoluagency
Because that's what important right now, that @realDonaldTrump saved some money...
#BREAKING Israeli army claims @HamasInfoEn has expressed willingness to "change the character" of the #GreatReturnMarch protests & dismantle the protest camps along the #GazaFence
also claims 12 of the Palestinians killed today were armed militants who tried to blow up the fence with explosives in 2 different incidents (& of course that trying to blow up a fence is a good reason to kill 12 people). Haven't seen any evidence of that yet
#recap: Israeli soldiers killed 55 Palestinians today in an expected bloodbath of unarmed protesters. Israeli gov didn't want to kill Palestinians but also didn't care if they die. No one bothered to look for solutions to handle the protests by means other than sniper bullets
#BREAKING Israeli army decided to reopen Kerem Shalom cargo crossing tomorrow. The army decided to close the only cargo crossing from Israel into #Gaza after Palestinians damaged it during the protests Friday
#BREAKING: another protester died from his wounds
The # of Palestinians killed by Israeli soldiers in #Gaza today is now 58 - #Gaza MoH
Since the #GreatReturnMarch started, 107 killed in Gaza & almost 3,400 injured by Israeli live ammo
1 Israeli lightly hurt during that period
The unbelievable number of casualties since March 30 didn't cause the militant groups in #Gaza to break ranks with the non-violence of the #GreatReturnMarch & launch rockets at Israeli territory. The Israeli army thinks today's killing might change that. I hope they are wrong
Here are 4 of the 6 teenagers killed by Israeli soldiers today
14-year-old Ezz el-din Alsamaak
15-year-old Wisaal Khalil
16-year-old Saeed Abu Alkheir
16-year-old Saadi Said Abu Salah
Israeli forces killed 12 minors since the #GreatReturnMarch started
