Woman discovers footage of Israel soldier playing her piano in bombed-out home in southern Lebanon | CBC News

Julia Ali, seen playing her piano in a screengrab from a video she posted where Israeli soldiers are later seen sitting in that same spot, says despite what has been left of her home that was destroyed in Israeli airstrikes, she has hope that ‘we will rise from this, rebuilding not just a house, but a new chapter filled with resilience, strength, and the memories of all that was lost.’ (juliaali1/Instagram, tamer.qdh/Instagram)

IDF distances itself from ‘no return’ remarks about north Gaza evacuees | Israel-Gaza war | The Guardian

The Israeli army has distanced itself from comments made by a brigadier general that ground forces are getting closer to “the complete evacuation” of the northern Gaza Strip and residents will not be allowed to return home.

In a media briefing on Tuesday night, the Israel Defense Forces’ Brig Gen Itzik Cohen told Israeli reporters that “there is no intention of allowing the residents of the northern Gaza Strip to return”. He added that humanitarian aid would be allowed to “regularly” enter the south of the territory but there were “no more civilians left” in the north.

International humanitarian law experts have said that such actions would amount to the war crimes of forcible transfer and the use of food as a weapon.

The IDF did not immediately respond to the Guardian’s request for comment on Cohen’s remarks. But on Thursday, a spokesperson said the comments had been taken out of context during a discussion about Jabaliya, and did not “reflect the IDF’s objectives and values”.

The spokesperson said the briefing on Tuesday had been on background, and the brigadier general should not have been quoted in Hebrew media reports that emerged.
