Fast recovery for the injured and condolences for the deceased

Prayers for the families. No politics, no religion, hard working men are the same everywhere, risking themselves for their family.

Were they using walkie talkies in this mine?

There is strong suspicion that explosion 💥 triggered by either pager or walkie talkie. 😮

Iran should talk with gaza - we have casualty numbers out of gaza within a few minutes.

Recent DNA analysis of Palestinians (in 2017, and in 2020) have found that 81-87% of their DNA derives from ancient Bronze Age Levantine groups and from the Neolithic Natufians. Gaza has some of the most ancient fortified structures ever excavated (for example, Tell es-Sakan) in fact older than almost all fortified structures in Egypt, far predating any history of the Jews. In contrast, analysis of Jewish Ashkenazi DNA was found to be 41% of European origin. The geneticists doing the study concluded that there was a "genetic continuity in the region" of Palestine, among Palestinian people, since the time of the ancient neolithic Natufians

Iraq, Pakistan, Syria, Lebanon, Afghanistan etc all have these issues with terror and religion does have its fault hugely, but well they always shape goat it with blaming the west, just like sahel countries in Africa, but when they flee for immigration they always head for Europe and america and not Saudi, Qatar, UAE despite them being massively wealthy ; I wonder why ???

Hamas supporters are bewildered. How did Israel do this to us? Did a miner make a phone call?
