One Year of Genocide

Continued from >>484995

Updates since the start of the last thread:
The (largely civilian) Palestinian death toll has now passed 61,000. Excess deaths have been estimated by The Lancet to plausibly be upwards of 186,000.

In early January 2025, Israel agreed to a ceasefire in Gaza and a prisoner exchange. Despite all of the killing, Hamas's military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, appears to have largely replenished its numbers, and threw parades celebrating the exchange. The ceasefire is on terms Hamas had already agreed to in May 2024.

Following Hezbollah strikes on Tel Aviv, a ceasefire in Lebanon was agreed to on November 27th. Israel proceeded to violate this ceasefire more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country at the agreed-upon 60 day deadline, prompting unarmed civilians to stage protests and drive them out of parts of south Lebanon.

Lebanese Army leader Joseph Aoun was elected president of Lebanon.

Syrian president Bashar al-Assad was overthrown by US-backed al-Qaeda operatives. Israel proceeded to steal more land from Syria and launched a massive bombing campaign on Syria and Syria's arsenal without any resistance.

Hamas leader in Gaza Yahya Sinwar was killed while fighting in Gaza. Mohammed Deif later confirmed dead.

The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netnayahu and Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity. The ICC also issued warrants against Hamas leaders.

Following the warrants, the Biden administration invited Yoav Gallant to the White House.

Benjamin Netanyahu was invited back to the White House for February 4th, 2025.

Israel has launched more attacks on the West Bank, and reportedly violated the ceasefire in Gaza some 80 times.

More countries have joined South Africa's legal case at the International Court of Justice against Israel for the crime of genocide. Cuba, Ireland, Belize, Nicaragua, Palestine, Turkey, Spain, Mexico, Libya, Chile, and Colombia have joined the South African case against Israel. Egypt, Belgium, and Maldives have also declared their intention to join.

Yemeni Houthi attacks on international shipping, in solidarity with Gaza, have stopped in accordance with the ceasefire, following multiple successful Yemeni strikes on targets in Israel.

Demonstrators have continued to blockade and damage arms factories manufacturing weapons for Israel in the UK.

The US gov't continued shipping weapons to Israel, in violation of US law.

The new US administration threatened to deport foreign students speaking out against the US-backed Palestinian genocide.

A group of states from the global south formed the Hague Group as a way of reinforcing the rulings of the International Court of Justice and International Criminal Court. The founding states are Belize, Bolivia, Colombia, Cuba, Honduras, Malaysia, Namibia, Senegal and South Africa.

Injuries reported after ‘massive’ blast at Iran’s port city of Bandar Abbas

Several people have been reported injured following a massive explosion and fire at the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas, more than 1,000km (620 miles) south of capital Tehran, according to state media.

Iran’s customs authority said in a statement that Saturday’s explosion occurred in the Sina container yard, which is affiliated with the Ports and Maritime Organization.

Mehrdad Hassanzadeh, director of Hormozgan province’s crisis management organisation, told state television that the injured have been transferred to medical facilities, but did not say how many were hurt.

Earlier, Hormozgan Ports and Maritime Administration official Esmaeil Malekizadeh said the explosion took place near the Shahid Rajaee port dock.

Social media videos showed a huge plume of black smoke rising from the area of the explosion.

Other social media videos showed damaged to buildings and vehicles. Several people were also seen around the area checking the damage to the properties.

Shahid Rajaei port mainly handles container traffic and also has oil tanks and other petrochemical facilities.

update:
406 injured as ‘massive’ explosion hits Iran’s port city of Bandar Abbas

Hundreds of people have been injured following a massive explosion and fire at the Iranian port city of Bandar Abbas, more than 1,000km (620 miles) south of capital Tehran, according to officials and state media.

Iran’s customs authority said in a statement on Saturday that the explosion occurred in the Sina container yard, which is affiliated with the country’s Ports and Maritime Organisation.

Al Jazeera’s Tohid Asadi, reporting from Tehran, quoted state media as saying that the number of injuries have risen to 406.

Iranian state television said initial reports indicate negligence in the storage of flammable materials at the site.

Mehrdad Hassanzadeh, director of Hormozgan province’s crisis management organisation, told state television that the injured have been transferred to medical facilities.

He said that safety officials had previously visited the site of the incident, and issued safety warnings.



In May 2020, Israel has been accused of launching a major cyberattack on the same port, causing transport chaos for days after crashing the facility’s computer system.

The blast comes at a sensitive time as Iranian officials continue to engage in talks with US officials on a possible new nuclear deal.

BreakThrough News - Yemen Fires Hypersonic Missile at Israel and Takes Out $200M in US Drones

Death toll in Gaza rises

The Health Ministry in the enclave says 84 people killed and 168 injured were reported to Gaza’s hospitals in the last 24 hours.

The toll includes the bodies of six people killed in the previous days but whose bodies were recovered today.

Hamas’s armed wing says four Israeli soldiers shot in ambush

Abu Obeida, the spokesman of the Qassam Brigades, says the ambush took place in Beit Hanoon, northern Gaza.

He said Palestinian fighters “remain steadfast” in their fight against Israeli forces.

“Our fighters are still fighting heroic battles, carrying out elaborate ambushes, and lying in wait for enemy forces to inflict a certain massacre on them at the place, time, and method of their choosing,” he said.

Israeli forces attacked in Gaza City

The Israeli army said it was targeted with an an antitank missile in the Daraj neighbourhood.

Separately, al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of Palestinian Islamic Jihad, said its fighters targeted Israeli forces and vehicles stationed on al-Muntar Hill, east of Gaza City.

We are being depleted: WFP representative

“We were serving as the WFP maybe 400,000 people with these hot meals. And all together, with all the different NGOs that are on the ground, we are serving practically one million people – so a bit less than half the population in the Gaza Strip,” Antoine Renard, WFP’s Palestine representative, told Al Jazeera, adding that:

“We are all running short, we are being depleted.”
WFP is calling for an end the closure on Gaza to allow the UN agency and other groups to deliver assistance to Palestinians.
“You are having hunger again in the Gaza Strip. You don’t find dairy products, you don’t find meat, you don’t find fish. There’s practically no availability related even to fruits. Different stocks that are still out there in some of the shops, you see that they are running short.”

Israel will not send representative to Pope Francis’s funeral: Report

Israeli newspaper Haaretz is reporting that the Israeli government will not send any of its leaders to attend the late pope’s funeral, to be held tomorrow.

PM Netanyahu and his government ministers were highly critical of the pope during Israel’s war on Gaza, as Francis was vocal about the killing of civilians and the withholding of aid.

It is estimated that about 2 percent of Israel’s population is Christian, and the country holds several of the holiest sites in the religion. They include the Church of the Holy Sepulchre in Jerusalem, believed to be the site of Jesus’s crucifixion, burial, and resurrection, and the Church of the Nativity in Bethlehem, claimed to mark the birthplace of Jesus.

MIT Cuts Ties With Israeli Weapons Maker Elbit Systems After Student-Led Campaign

In one of the most high-profile academic dissociations from an Israeli weapons manufacturer in the U.S. to date, MIT has cut ties with Elbit Systems following a six-month campaign led by the MIT Coalition for Palestine and BDS Boston.

➤ The decision removes Elbit from MIT’s Industrial Liaison Program (ILP), a membership platform that connects corporations with MIT’s research labs, faculty experts, and emerging technologies.

➤ Elbit Systems is Israel’s largest private arms company, supplying drones, surveillance systems, and other military equipment used in genocide in Gaza and across occupied Palestinian territories.

➤ The campaign targeting MIT’s relationship with Elbit reportedly involved disrupting ILP conferences in Boston, Bangkok, Seoul, and Tokyo.

➤ “Let this be a message to all the merchants of death: You have been put on notice.” Student organizers called the move a victory for academic accountability and a rejection of partnerships with firms complicit in Israeli war crimes.

Israel attacks Lebanon’s Beirut

Israel has carried out an air attack on southern Beirut after issuing a forced evacuation warning.

Footage showed a huge plume of black smoke rising over the capital’s southern suburbs of Dahiyeh after the attack.

No letup in Israeli attacks

The number of Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks since dawn today has now increased to at least 21, according to our team on the ground.

Attacks have been recorded across the Gaza Strip, including in Khan Younis, Deir el-Balah, and Gaza City.

US forces keep up attacks on Yemen

We’ve been covering a US raid that destroyed residential buildings in the capital, Sanaa, and wounded at least two people.

The Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV says there have been more US attacks elsewhere in the country.

These include:

Ras Isa port in the Hodeidah province
The “Galaxy Leader” ship in the port of Hodeidah
The island of Kamaran in the Red Sea
The Al Anan district in Al Jawf province
The Medghal district in Marib province

Israeli military says it shot down missile fired from Yemen

In a post on X, the military said the missile was intercepted after rocket sirens were activated in the Arava and Dead Sea region of Israel.

It was intercepted before it crossed into Israeli territory, the military added.

Houthis claim attacks on Israeli military base: Report

The Yemeni group has claimed to have attacked the Nevatim airbase in southern Israel, according to the Houthi-backed Saba news agency.

“We carried out an operation targeting the Nevatim Air Base in the Negev,” Houthi spokesperson Yahya Saree said, adding that it used a “hypersonic ballistic missile”.

Earlier, Israel said it shot down a missile fired from Yemen after air raid sirens sounded in its Dead Sea region.

This incident came after Yemen’s Health Ministry stated that at least eight civilians, including two children, were wounded in the US attacks on Sanaa on Saturday evening.

Israel launches drone attack on southern Lebanon

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that there has been an Israeli drone attack on the town of Halta in southern Lebanon.

At least one person was killed in the attack, according to Lebanon’s Al Mayadeen TV.

Hamas again rejects calls for disarmament

As we’ve been reporting, Hamas officials have been meeting mediators in Cairo to discuss proposals to restore the ceasefire in Gaza.

These negotiations have been at an impasse since Israel abandoned the ceasefire deal agreed in January, by imposing a total blockade on Gaza on March 2 and resumed its deadly attacks on March 17.

Taher al-Nono, a top Hamas official, speaking to the Reuters news agency, insisted on an Israeli commitment to ending the war.

“The idea of a truce or its duration is not rejected by us, and we are ready to discuss it within the framework of negotiations. We are open to any serious proposals to end the war,” he said.

However, al-Nono ruled out a core Israeli demand that Hamas lay down its arms.

“The weapon of resistance is not negotiable and will remain in our hands as long as the occupation exists,” he said.

Mahmud Mardawi, another Hamas official, also emphasised that any new ceasefire would require “guarantees regarding the end of the war”.

He added, “The occupation can return to war after any partial deal, but it cannot do so with a comprehensive deal and international guarantees.”

Israeli soldier, police officer killed in Gaza

Israel’s military and its police have issued separate statements announcing that a soldier and an undercover police officer have been killed during the ongoing fighting in the Gaza Strip.

The soldier, 21, was killed in the north of the Gaza Strip, according to the military.

The slain police officer was an undercover officer in the Border Police Southern Yamas Unit, the police said.

The Times of Israel reported that both men were killed while fighting against Hamas in Gaza City’s Shujayea neighbourhood on Friday afternoon.

Ex-Israeli spy chief calls for ‘non-violent civilian revolt’

Ami Ayalon, a former chief of the Israeli security agency, Shin Bet, has addressed antigovernment protesters in Tel Aviv, encouraging the crowds to “take to the streets” and “stop the country”.

“Non-violent civilian revolt is the civic duty of every citizen,” Ayalon said, while criticising the Netanyahu government for surveilling “citizens who wish to protest” – a claim also made by the current Shin Bet chief, Ronen Bar, who is engaged in a power struggle with Netanyahu.

“We are fighting for Israel’s Jewish-democratic identity as formulated by the founding fathers in the Declaration of Independence,” Ayalon said.

Two groups of protesters have been staging rallies against Netanyahu’s government every Saturday, with one group gathering to oppose what they call the prime minister’s crackdown on Israeli democracy and the others demanding a deal for the release of Israeli captives in Gaza.

The Times of Israel said the two groups gathered in separate squares in Tel Aviv and then merged, as they do each week, on the city’s Begin Road.

Pro-Israel demonstrators accused of assaulting woman in New York

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) is calling on the New York Police Department (NYPD) to pursue hate crime charges against “members of a pro-Israel mob” who were seen chasing and attacking a woman, whom they thought was Arab-American.

The incident, which was caught on video and posted online, occurred after protesters gathered outside an event where Israel’s far-right national security minister, Itamar Ben-Gvir, was speaking in Brooklyn, New York.

Drop Site News, which posted the video, said the mob threw a traffic cone into her head and a garbage can at her legs, and taunted her “with explicit threats of rape”.

The video showed a single police officer escorting the woman as dozens of men, many of whom appeared to be Orthodox Jewish, followed and harassed her.

CAIR’s national deputy director, Edward Ahmed Mitchell, denounced the men’s actions.

“We strongly condemn the violent mob of pro-Israel racists who chased and attacked a woman down a New York City street while shouting ‘Death to Arabs’ and other vile slurs, such as calling her a ‘waste of semen’,” he said.

“We call on elected officials across New York to condemn these hate actions, and we call on law enforcement to identify and prosecute those responsible for hate crimes,” Mitchell added.

Bourgeois nationalist policy failure, think about it dialectically.
Netanyahu's decision to support Hamas was a tactical move, not an endorsement of Hamas as the 'good guys.' The Israeli government, along with the U.S., backed Hamas in the 1980s as a counterweight to the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO) and Fatah, hoping to fragment Palestinian politics and weaken the more secular, nationalist factions. This was a classic example of 'divide and rule.' The idea was that a divided Palestinian movement would be easier for Israel to manage and control. However, this short-term strategy backfired because it allowed Hamas to grow in strength, leading to more radicalism and violence, which Israel has struggled to control ever since.

So, it's not about whether Hamas is 'good' or 'bad,' but rather about the contradictions of capitalist policies. Netanyahu's actions show the dangers of capitalist strategies that rely on dividing oppressed peoples, as they can unintentionally strengthen the very forces they want to suppress.

That's crazy, I wonder why he didn't acknowledge that the actual thing people were protesting was a visit by Ben-Gvir, who was convicted of terrorist sympathies by the Israeli government itself and who has openly endorsed mass starvation and abandonment of Israeli hostages.

Also weird that Pavlou omits that a number of the people Ben-Gvir's rabid supporters attacked were Jewish. Wonder why!

Israel kills 71 Palestinians in the past 24 hours: Ministry

Gaza’s Health Ministry has just issued its daily statistical report on Palestinian casualties in Israel’s war on the enclave.

In the past 24 hours, Gaza hospitals have reported 71 people killed by Israeli forces, including 14 bodies recovered from under the rubble, and 153 injured.
Israel has killed at least 52,314 Palestinians since launching its military offensive on October 7, 2023. A further 17,792 people have been injured.
Since resuming its offensive on March 18, Israel has killed at least 2,222 people.

US launches more attacks on Yemen

The Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV reports that US forces have launched more strikes on Yemen, including two attacks on the city of Saada and four attacks on the Barat Al Anan district.

As we reported earlier, Al Masirah TV said US strikes in the Bani Al Harith district, north of Sanaa, killed eight people, including children.

At least 30 killed in US attack on Yemen detention centre: Report

We’ve been reporting on a US attack on a detention centre holding African migrants in the northern province of Saada.

The Houthi-affiliated Al Masirah TV says the prison housed 115 inmates and that at least 30 people were killed in the attack. Another 50 were wounded and have been transferred to hospital for treatment. Most of their injuries are critical.

Yemen’s official Saba agency, citing a security source, says there are dozens of victims and that rescue teams have been putting out a fire caused by the bombing.

There was no immediate comment from the US military.

The US Central Command issued a statement before news of the strike broke, seeking to defend its policy of offering no specific details of its extensive bombing campaign.

“To preserve operational security, we have intentionally limited disclosing details of our ongoing or future operations,” CENTCOM said. “We are very deliberate in our operational approach, but will not reveal specifics about what we’ve done or what we will do.”

Footage shows dead bodies at Yemen detention centre

The graphic footage, aired by Al Masirah TV and verified by Al Jazeera, shows several dead bodies lying in the rubble of the bombed out detention centre for African migrants in Saada.

Other footage showed wounded people receiving treatment at the General Republican Hospital in Saada.

The hospital said in a post on Telegram that dozens of people were killed and that at least 50 wounded people have arrived at the facility.

Attack on detention centre kills at least 68 people in Yemen: Houthi media

A US strike on Saada hit a detention centre hosting African migrants, Houthi-affiliated news outlet, Al Masirah TV reported.

According to the Interior Ministry, the detention centre that was hit was housing 115 African migrants.

Israel’s latest attack on Beirut unprovoked

When Israel struck Beirut in March, it was in response to a rocket launch from Lebanon that targeted an Israeli border town – although Hezbollah had denied responsibility for the attack.

Early in April, the second Israeli attack on Beirut since the ceasefire came without warning – to assassinate a Hezbollah military official. The strike killed four people.

Today’s evacuation order and bombing were unprovoked. It comes amid near daily Israeli violations of the truce and attacks in the south of the country.

Hamas, PIJ claim attacks against Israeli forces in Gaza City

Al-Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, says its fighters launched a guided rocket targeting a building where Israeli troops were sheltering in Gaza City.

Separately, Hamas’s Qassam Brigades also said it targeted a tank with an anti-armor rocket and detonated an explosive device against Israeli troops in the same area.

ICJ set to begin hearings on Israel’s humanitarian obligations in occupied Palestinian territory

The International Court of Justice (ICJ) is due to begin a week of public hearings this morning on what Israel must do to provide desperately needed humanitarian assistance to Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The hearings are being held at the request of the UN General Assembly, which voted in favour of asking the World Court to weigh in on Israel’s legal obligations last December.

That resolution was put forward by Norway after Israel banned the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) from operating in Israeli-controlled territory.

The hearings will begin at 8am local time (06:00 GMT) today.

Officials from the UN and Palestine are scheduled to speak first.

The court will hear from some 40 countries over the next five days.

Israeli representatives are not expected to attend, but Israel’s Foreign Ministry has said it will submit a written statement to the court.

New York launches probe into assaults by pro-Israeli mob during Ben-Gvir’s visit

A clip of the attack, which took place as pro-Palestinian protesters and pro-Israeli counterprotesters gathered during a visit to New York by far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, has nearly 11 million views on X.

New York City Mayor Eric Adams has now said the police are looking into two incidents of harassment from that night.

“The NYPD is investigating a series of incidents stemming from clashing protests on Thursday that began when a group of anti-Israel protesters surrounded the Chabad Lubavitch World Headquarters – a Jewish place of worship – in Brooklyn,” Adams wrote on X.

“Initial reports indicate that one female protester was isolated from her group, harassed by counter-protesters and suffered injuries. In another incident, a second woman was surrounded and subjected to vile threatening by counter-protesters,” he added.

Adams said the police had located and spoken to one of the women.

Irish lawyer representing Palestine presents her oral argument
Here are some of Blinne Ni Ghralaigh’s key points:

Israel’s violations of obligations under the 1946 Convention on the Privileges and Immunities of the United Nations in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem include forcible entry into UN schools, its seizure and often violent shuttering of UN premises and its failure to protect them from attack by Israeli civilians.
They also include Israel’s obstruction or prohibition of the movement of Palestinian UN staff and the access by international UN staff to the occupied Palestinian territory in Gaza, where Israel’s violations include its obstruction of UN aid supplies, goods and equipment into and throughout the territory and its attacks on UN food stores, distribution facilities and humanitarian convoys.
Violations also include Israel’s use of UN premises as military bases and its violent, lethal attacks on UN schools, shelters and healthcare facilities, which have been a feature of every large-scale military assault on Gaza since at least 2009.

More from Blinne Ni Ghralaigh

Here are some points made by Palestine’s representative:

Israel’s actions are not only inhumane but genocidal, as concluded by the UN Commission of Inquiry and broadly agreed upon by the human rights community.

Although separate proceedings address Israel’s responsibility for genocide, these proceedings concern Israel’s obligations to provide aid in a situation where Palestinians face a real and imminent risk of genocide.

Despite Israel’s objections, the court has full authority to advise on Israel’s obligations under international law, particularly regarding the protection of Palestinians.

Given the serious risk of a violation of fundamental international norms (like the prohibition of genocide), the court must declare that there is an obligation, especially on UN member states, to end such a situation.

Israel continues to block UN-mandated investigatory bodies from Gaza while destroying and burying evidence of its crimes.

"At the ICJ today, the US argued, almost alone in the world, in defense of the Israeli regime in its attacks on humanitarians and the blocking of aid. In doing so, it tried to distort humanitarian law & the UN Charter out of any meaningful content, to shift blame away from the perpetrator & onto the humanitarians themselves, to suggest Israel’s atrocious attacks were necessary to maintain law & order, and that a (US) veto in the Security Council means the GA isn’t allowed to do anything either. No one fell for any of it. The U.S. only embarrassed itself, as it has done on the Israeli regime’s behalf countless times before. The U.S. is more isolated today than ever."

Fires continue to blaze near Jerusalem: Reports

Weeklong wildfires continue to burn across Israel, including near Jerusalem, as 155 firefighting teams work to contain the flames, reports The Times of Israel.

The effort comes after Israeli PM Netanyahu’s warning yesterday that the country is facing a “national emergency”, with fires threatening to reach the city of Jerusalem.

Israel’s fire chief Eyal Caspi described the blazes as the largest in a decade.

On Thursday morning, Israel’s Fire and Rescue Service said it had “not gained control” of the outbreak, according to The Times of Israel.

Italy, Cyprus sending Israel firefighting aircraft: Report

The European countries are set to dispatch eight firefighting planes to Israel today to support its emergency efforts, The Times of Israel reports.

The assistance comes as fires continue to burn in 11 hotspots near Jerusalem, with seven towns still under evacuation, the publication cites Israel’s Fire and Rescue Service as saying.

Israeli settlers vandalise property, steal cattle near Jordan Valley: Report

A group of Israeli settlers waged an overnight attack on family property in the northern Jordan Valley in the occupied West Bank, reports the Wafa news agency.

During the attack, which took place near the illegal Israeli settlement of Hamra, settlers wrecked tents, solar cells and other property, while taking dozens of cattle, according to Wafa.

Israeli settlers regularly storm into Palestinian towns, attacking and vandalising property. The Ramallah-based Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission, a body that monitors illegal Israeli settlement expansion, reported 255 West Bank settler attacks in the month of March alone.

UNRWA: 3,000 aid trucks are lined up at Gaza border

The UN’s agency for Palestinian refugees has again decried Israel’s refusal to allow any food, medicine or fuel into Gaza, saying that humanitarian organisations stand ready to step in and help.

Israel’s total blockade of Gaza has passed its 60th day, the longest such border closure the Strip has ever faced, deepening the hunger crisis in the coastal enclave.

“One million children depend on aid, and without it, their lives are in danger,” UNRWA wrote.

Casualties after Israeli forces hit central and southern Gaza

Hamas calls on Switzerland to reverse its ban
The Gaza-based armed group has put out a statement addressing Switzerland’s decision to enforce a new law banning Hamas and related organisations on May 15.

Here is a summary of their translated comments:

Switzerland’s decision to ban the movement is a dangerous bias towards the occupation and a denial of its legal and humanitarian obligations.
Switzerland’s political and moral commitments require urgent action to halt the [Israeli PM] Netanyahu government’s violations of international law.
We call on Switzerland to reverse its unjust decision, stand up for justice, and support our people’s struggle to end the occupation.

University of Texas students sue over arrests at pro-Palestinian protest against war in Gaza

Four current and former University of Texas at Austin students have sued the college and Texas Governor Greg Abbott, alleging they faced unlawful arrest and retaliatory discipline for demonstrating against Israel’s assault on Gaza.

The lawsuit is among a wave of legal actions against US universities, law enforcement and state leaders over their handling of pro-Palestinian student protests that erupted in the spring of 2024.

Filed in US District Court in San Antonio by the American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) on behalf of the students, the lawsuit accuses UT Austin President Jay Hartzell, Abbott and law enforcement officers of intentionally suppressing pro-Palestinian speech at an April 24, 2024 campus protest.

According to the filing, Abbott, with the consent of Hartzell, ordered state police in riot gear to carry out mass arrests, violating protesters’ First Amendment rights to assemble and express their opinions.

Houthis says they targeted ‘vital and military’ sites in Tel Aviv

Houthis said in addition to “vital and military” sites in Tel Aviv, the group also carried out a military operation targeting a US aircraft carrier called Vinson in the Arabian Sea.

The operation was conducted with “a number of drones”, the group said.

There has been no immediate comment from Israel on the purported firings.

The Houthis have been carrying out attacks in what they say is a show of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza, promising to keep up their strikes until Israel ends its war.

The US, Israel’s top ally, has responded with a campaign of aerial bombings against Yemen that have killed many people across the country. A recent strike hit a migrant detention centre in the Saada governorate, killing dozens.

Survivor describes US attack on Yemen migrant facility

“The planes struck close by twice. The third time they hit us.”

That’s how Abed Ibrahim Saleh, a 34-year-old from Ethiopia, described Monday’s deadly US strike on a migrant detention centre in Yemen’s Saada governorate.

“Bodies ripped apart. I can’t describe what I saw,” Saleh was quoted as saying by AFP news agency from a nearby hospital, where he and other survivors were recovering.

“A hand here, a leg there,” Saleh said. “I don’t want to remember.”

Almost 600 children killed by Israeli attacks since March 18: Health Ministry

Gaza’s Health Ministry said Israeli attacks have killed 2,308 people and 5,973 wounded since Israel broke a ceasefire on March 18.

The Palestinian Centre for Human Rights said among those killed were 595 children and 308 women.

Israeli strike on Syrian capital outskirts kills security force member: Report

A source from the Syrian Interior Ministry told Reuters that an Israeli strike on the outskirts of the Syrian capital has killed one member of the country’s new security forces.

Israel said it had struck an “extremist group” preparing to attack members of the Arab Druze minority in Sahnaya, on the edge of Damascus.

But the Syrian Interior Ministry source disputed that claim and said Syrian security forces were looking to put an end to clashes in Sahnaya between armed groups operating outside state control.

Netanyahu’s comments on victory are attempt to cover up army’s ‘failures’: Hamas

Hamas says Netanyahu’s comments on a “decisive victory” and dismantling Rafah were a “desperate attempt to cover up his army’s failure in Gaza and convince his audience of an illusion”.

“We affirm that our people’s resistance will continue until the occupation is defeated, and that Rafah will remain a symbol of steadfastness and a nightmare that haunts the invaders,” Hamas said.

Israeli drone attack in southern Lebanon kills three: Ministry

Three people were killed in an Israeli drone attack on a vehicle in southern Lebanon, the country’s Health Ministry has said.

The ministry in a statement said an “Israeli enemy” drone attack on a vehicle in the southern town of Meiss el-Jabal killed “a Lebanese and two Syrians”.

Despite a ceasefire agreed in late November between Hezbollah and Israel, the Lebanese government said earlier this month that 190 people have been killed and 485 injured in Lebanon by Israeli attacks since the ceasefire took effect.

Netanyahu says 18 arrested on suspicion of arson: Report

Israeli army on standby for ‘various scenarios’ in Syria

Israeli army chief Eyal Zamir has instructed the military to prepare to strike targets in Syria “if the violence against the Druze does not stop”.

In a statement on X, the army said its jets attacked operatives on the outskirts of the capital, Damascus, “who were attacking Druze civilians”.

The statement comes after sectarian clashes between forces linked to Syria’s new authorities and Druze fighters spread overnight near Damascus, leaving 13 people dead.

Israel has repeatedly carried out deadly raids on Syria and Lebanon, using its pretext as a defender of the religious minority group.

‘An affront to our humanity’: UN Security Council discussing Gaza

Country representatives have been commenting on the situation in the Middle East during a special Security Council session at UN headquarters in New York. Here’s some of what they said:

Ireland: “What we are witnessing on the ground in Gaza and the West Bank is indicative of a complete disregard for international law, the UN Security Council, and the integrity of the United Nations as an institution. More fundamentally, it is an affront to our humanity and it must end.”
Iran: “The Security Council must not stay silent. The main threat to peace and stability in the region comes from the terrorist and destabilising actions of the Israeli regime and its main sponsor, the United States.”
South Africa: “There must be accountability for all of the atrocities, the ongoing genocide, violation of human rights and war crimes committed against the Palestinian people.”

Trump administration reiterates opposition to ICJ hearings

A State Department spokesperson says the Trump administration rejects the decision to take the issue of Israel’s obligations under international law to the ICJ.

Tammy Bruce said in a statement that the referral from the UN General Assembly “is inappropriate because it unduly singles out Israel”.

She added that it “does not advance efforts to achieve progress towards a ceasefire and release of all the hostages” held in Gaza.

The administrations of both Trump and his predecessor Biden have faced widespread criticism for providing Israel with staunch military and diplomatic support as it wages war on Gaza.

The US provides Israel with at least $3.8bn in military assistance annually and Biden authorised billions more in additional support.

Activist ship with 30 people on board sinking after drone attack near Malta

Earlier, we reported that an Israeli military drone has reportedly attacked a vessel with the Freedom Flotilla activist group as it set off to break Israel’s Gaza blockade and deliver aid to the besieged enclave.

Yasemin Acar, a media officer with the group, has now told CNN there is a “hole in the vessel” and the “ship is sinking”.

Acar said the ship was attacked off the coast of Malta in international waters, and it is now anchored 17km (10.5 miles) from the country. The crew has “sent out SOS calls to the surrounding countries” and a “small boat” from Cyprus has been sent to help, she added.

“We have 30 international human rights activists on that vessel at this very moment, on a vessel that is sinking,” said Acar.

Posting on X, the group said a drone attacked the ship twice at 00:23 Maltese time on Friday morning (22:23 GMT on Thursday night), breaching the hull and causing a fire to break out on board.

Israeli missile strike on children’s playground leaves 8-year-old paralysed

Eight-year-old Palestinian girl, Rehab, was on a playground swing in Gaza when an Israeli missile attack left half her body paralysed.

Confined to a wheelchair, Rehab told child rights group Defense of Children International – Palestine (DCI-P) that she once walked to school and played with her siblings.

“Now I’m injured and sitting. I can’t walk,” she tells DCI-P.

Northern Israel under air attack warning as missile fired from Yemen

Missile threat alerts have been activated across parts of northern Israel and the port city of Haifa, according to Israeli media and online public awareness social media sites.

Israel’s military said a missile was launched from Yemen, and air defences were working to intercept the threat.

Video clips shared on social media were said to show Israeli interceptor missiles streaking across the dawn sky in an attempt to destroy the Yemeni missile.

Israel says missile from Yemen intercepted

Israel’s military said it successfully intercepted a missile launched from Yemen earlier today.

The missile was destroyed before entering Israeli airspace, the military said, noting that several areas of the country had come under emergency air attack warnings.

Houthis claim missile attack on northern Israel

The Yemeni rebels has claimed responsibility for the strike near the city of Haifa this morning, saying it targeted an army base in northern Israel.

The military spokesperson for the Houthi rebels has said in a televised statement that they launched a ballistic missile towards the Ramat David Airbase, which is located in the southeast of Haifa.

The Israeli army said earlier that hostile aircraft sirens were activated in Haifa and areas around the city at about 5:30am, adding that the missile launched from Yemen was intercepted.

Israeli military carries out air strikes near Syrian presidential palace in Damascus

Israel’s military said it attacked a target near the presidential palace in the Syrian capital Damascus, confirming an earlier report by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.

The military said Israeli warplanes attacked “the area near” Syrian President Ahmed al-Sharaa’s palace in the capital.



The air strikes mark the second time Israel has struck Syria in as many days, following through on a promise to defend the minority Druze after dozens of people were killed in two days of sectarian clashes south of Damascus.

Clashes with the Druze broke out around midnight on Monday after an audio clip circulated on social media of a man criticising Islam’s Prophet Muhammad. The audio was attributed to a Druze scholar. But the scholar, Marwan Kiwan, said in a video posted on social media that he was not responsible for the audio, which angered many Sunni Muslims.

Hamas claims fighters lured Israeli forces into deadly Rafah ambush

In a statement released earlier today, Hamas said its Qassam Brigades fighters set up a “complex” ambush in the Tal as-Sultan neighbourhood, west of Rafah in the southern Gaza Strip, some days ago that inflicted casualties on Israeli forces.

According to Hamas, the operation involved luring a mechanised force of Israeli soldiers in the ambush spot on at-Tarayan Street, during which four Hummer vehicles and a military truck were hit by a number of improvised explosive devices.

After the blasts, Hamas fighters advanced on the ambushed Israeli vehicles and killed and wounded a number of Israeli soldiers at “point-blank range”, according to the statement.

The last casualty reported by Israel’s military was a 21-year-old platoon commander in an armoured unit who was killed in northern Gaza, and his name was released on April 26.

Man sentenced to 6 years in US prison for anti-Israel vandalism

A Jordanian citizen residing in Florida has been sentenced to six years in federal prison for attacking businesses for their perceived support of Israel, the US Justice Department said on Thursday.

Hashem Younis Hashem Hnaihen broke into a solar power generation facility in Wedgefield, Florida, in June last year, and caused more than $450,000 in damage, prosecutors said.

Hnaihen also threatened other businesses in the Orlando area, according to a State Department statement.

“Wearing a mask, under the cover of night, Hnaihen smashed the glass front doors of businesses and left behind ‘Warning Letters’,” it said.

The 43-year-old, who was arrested in July last year and charged in August, pleaded guilty to the charges in December.
