We shall always do our best to verify the accuracy of all items in these IOP newsletters/reports wherever possible [e.g. we often suspect that names of people and places that we see in the PMG sitreps could be typos; also frequently the translation into English seems rather odd ~ but since we, sadly, do not speak Arabic, we have no alternative but to copy and paste these names from the PMG sitreps!] – please forgive us for any errors or omissions – Leslie and Marian.

Resisting Separation
Leslie Bravery | 25 August 2022 https://thedailyblog.co.nz/2022/08/25/resisting-separation/
Ever since the Gaza ceasefire, brokered by Egypt and the UN, came into effect on 7 August, the mainstream news media have ignored the fact that Israel continues to attack the enclave. The air-strikes have ceased, for now, but Israeli drones over Gaza never stop menacing the population and, at sea off Gaza, Palestinian fishing vessels continue to be attacked. For ten days and nights since 8 August, the Israeli Navy carried out 23 attacks, pursuing and opening fire on the boats. On 16 August, the Israeli Navy hijacked two fishing craft and detained four crew members. In ten assaults over the period, Israeli Army positions also continued to fire on Gaza communities and agriculture. Read more . . .
