Senior US Official Resigns Over “Lethal“ Aid To Israel, IDF Claims Strikes On Hamas Infrastructures

The IDF says it killed the head of the military wing of Gaza’s Popular Resistance Committees militant group overnight on Oct 18-19. Israeli jets carried out an airstrike on the southern Gaza town of Rafah following information received from the Shin Bet, killing Rafat Abu Hilal. The Popular Resistance Committees is the third largest militant group in the Strip after Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad. In addition, the Israeli military said that it also killed “a number of operatives belonging to the Najaba force of Hamas. Meanwhile, a senior US State Department official has resigned over what he describes as “disagreement concerning our continued lethal assistance to Israel.” Josh Paul expressed his disillusionment with the Biden administration’s approach to the Israel-Palestine conflict in a LinkedIn post. Paul worked in the State Department’s Political-Military Affairs bureau, which is in charge of approving arms transfers to other countries. In an interview with Huffington Post, Paul said that because “I couldn’t shift anything, I resigned.” #israel #palestine #gaza #gazaunderattack #hamasattack #usstatedepartment #idf #biden #netanyahu n18oc_world n18oc_crux 0:00 INTRODUCTION 3:14 SUNAK’S ISRAEL VISIT 4:52 US OFFICIAL RESIGNS OVER ‘LETHAL ASSISTANCE TO ISRAEL’ 6:26 JEWISH PROTESTERS ARRESTED FOR STORMING US CAPITOL CRUX is your daily video news guide to the big events that are shaping our world.
