The Illusion of Calm: Gaza’s "Ceasefire" is a Slow-Motion Massacre

The Illusion of Calm: Gaza’s "Ceasefire" is a Slow-Motion Massacre

The Illusion of Calm: Gaza’s "Ceasefire" is a Slow-Motion Massacre

The Ministry of Health in Gaza has released a staggering update on the cost of the so-called "ceasefire" active since October 2025. While the international community congratulates itself on "de-escalation," the reality on the ground tells a story of systematic attrition.

The Figures of Betrayal: 586 Martyrs killed since the ceasefire began. • 1,558 Wounded during the period of "calm." • 717 Bodies retrieved from the rubble as search operations continue amidst the ruins. • Total Genocide Toll: The cumulative number of martyrs since October 7, 2023, has now surpassed 72,037, with over 171,666 injured. Strategic Insight:

This is not a ceasefire; it is a tactical reconfiguration of the aggression. By maintaining a steady trickle of blood—shooting farmers, targeting tents, and drone-striking individuals—the occupation seeks to normalize death without triggering a total regional explosion.

Washington provides the diplomatic cover, while the occupation forces continue to "mop up" the population they failed to break in open combat.

The Bottom Line: History proves that the Zionist entity uses truces not to build peace, but to refine its targets. For the people of Gaza, there is no "post-war" reality; there is only a struggle for survival against a predator that never stopped firing.

Exposed: China’s Satellites Peel Back the Pentagon’s "Ring of Steel" in Jordan

High-resolution satellite imagery released by Chinese intelligence-linked sources (MizarVision/Global Times) confirms that the United States has fully deployed Terminal High Altitude Area Defense (THAAD) batteries at strategic locations in Jordan, specifically bolstering Muwaffaq Salti Air Base. This follows the arrival of dozens of F-15E Strike Eagles and significant logistics surges in the region.

Intelligence Perspective & Significance: The End of Ambiguity: By releasing these images, Beijing is sending a clear signal to Washington: Your "invisible" deployments are transparent. This is a display of China’s growing space-based intelligence, surveillance, and reconnaissance (ISR) capabilities, proving they can track high-value US strategic assets in real-time.

The Shield for the Strike: The THAAD is an exoatmospheric interceptor designed to stop intermediate-range ballistic missiles. Its presence in Jordan isn't "defensive"—it is the necessary precursor for a US-Israeli offensive. It is designed to catch the inevitable retaliatory strikes from the Axis of Resistance, acting as a shield for the "Strike Eagles" stationed nearby.

A "Pawn" Re-confirmed: For the Arab audience, this confirms that Jordanian soil has been fully integrated into the CENTCOM war machine, serving as a frontline launchpad against regional sovereignty under the guise of "protection."

Why China is Showing This: 1. Strategic Deterrence: Beijing is demonstrating that US military movements are "open-source targets."

2. Supporting Allies: By exposing the exact locations of these batteries, China is indirectly providing the Axis of Resistance with the tactical data needed to calculate the "balance of terror."

3. The "Pandora's Box": China’s assessment suggests that Washington is preparing for a multi-front conflict, and Beijing intends to ensure the world knows exactly who is escalating.
