Recent footage of Palestinians at Deir al-Balah beach, as temperatures surpassed 32C, has sparked controversy among Israelis, including journalists and government ministers. Critics argue that the scenes of enjoyment contradict Israel's claims of a targeted war against Hamas in Gaza, suggesting that the military efforts are insufficient. Israeli leaders, including Netanyahu, assert that they have destroyed Hamas brigades in northern Gaza, yet the continued bombing of residential areas and infrastructure, along with the starvation of the population, indicate otherwise. Statements from various Israelis, including journalist Yehuda Schlesinger on Channel 12, have expressed extreme views, stating that Gazans deserve severe punishments and accusing them of lacking innocence. These comments have raised concerns about the genocidal rhetoric and the broader implications of Israel's military strategy in Gaza.
