Palestinian sources have reported that the Israeli army has occupied a large number of homes in Hebron, Jenin, Ramallah and Qalqilya in the occupied West Bank, and converted them into military barracks after evicting their owners.

This surprise move coincided with the launch of Israel’s attacks on Iran last Friday. Analysts and residents have said that the army is stationing soldiers inside Palestinian homes and neighbourhoods to shield them from being targeted by Iranian missiles aimed at military camps.

@Anomalocaris @palestine @technocrit I think it's a pretty tertiary issue reminiscent of TMZ type journalism and I never saw much about it on the pro-AoR side. People like Bernie Sanders who try to relabel the genocide a "Netanyahu scandal" are useless because they don't educate people about how geopolitics works or apply political pressure where it could make a difference (most US antiwar sentiment is this aimless).
