▪️ On February 19, five people, including a minor, were injured in a shooting on a Mardi Gras parade route in New Orleans, Louisiana. One of the victims later died at a hospital.

🗣️ US carriers in the Mediterranean are "sitting targets"
“They are big fat sitting targets against the modern weaponry, such as anti-ship missiles and hypersonic missiles. So in this respect, they are not a real asset or rather liability against any major power... Especially Russia with its variety of hypersonic weapons of extremely long range. So in this particular case, those aircraft carriers and their carrier battle group, which usually comprises two or three "Aegis" carrying destroyers, they are not really any more serious military asset except for their 'fear factor', that of doing some stupid thing. They could be sunk or basically disabled, and that's pretty much it,” Andrei Martyanov, military analyst, told the New Rules podcast.

Since the start of the war in Gaza, medics at Al Shifaa Hospital, including Doctor Basel Abu Warda, who spoke with Sputnik, have been struggling to carry out their work effectively due to hospital overcrowding and the displacement of the population.
🗣 "Physicians and medical personnel are working tirelessly, often living in the hospital and only getting a few hours of sleep at a time. The recent attack on the Al Ahli Arab hospital further exacerbated the crisis, as victims had to undergo surgery without proper anesthesia due to a lack of time and resources."
As a result, patients who are awaiting complex medical procedures are now dying. Unfortunately, the capacity of all functioning hospitals in Gaza has been stretched to the limit. Some hospitals were destroyed, while others had to be evacuated. Consequently, the remaining hospitals are overloaded with an immense number of wounded individuals arriving after shelling attacks.

Reports that the Israeli military is considering flooding Hamas's underground tunnels in the Gaza Strip with seawater or nerve gas are nothing but a "fantasy," Yaakov Kedmi, a military expert and former head of the Israeli Jewish Diaspora liaison service Nativ, told Sputnik.
🗣 "There is no point in destroying [Hamas fighters] underground by [nerve] gas or seawater," Kedmi said. "What for? There is little air underground, and there is little electricity underground. Let them remain underground without water, without air, without everything, without electricity, without water, without communication. They will continue to sit underground where they will finally die."
According to Kedmi, the emerging reports about the alleged plans of the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) are part of a disinformation campaign similar to the one waged against Russia. At the same time, the Israeli commentator is skeptical about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's determination to destroy Hamas.
