Updates and current status 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. Israel proceeded to violate the ceasefire with airstrikes and a resumption of their illegal blockade of Gaza before resuming full-scale attacks in March and destroying the ceasefire entirely. At least 7,450 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza alone since Israel unilaterally broke the ceasefire.

Israel attacked Iran utilizing a large number of assets embedded in Iran, killing multiple scientists and high ranking Iranian military officials, as well as targeting schools, hospitals, oil assets, and a TV station. Around one thousand Iranians were killed in Israel's strikes on civilian targets like residential buildings. Iran retaliated with a series of waves of missile and drone attacks which hit multiple Israeli military targets including IDF HQ, Mossad HQ, as well as an Israeli oil field. After an Iranian strike on Unit 8200, the number of online Zionist apologists conspicuously reduced for a while. The Israeli government, embarrassed by the damage to Tel Aviv, heavily censored footage and reporting of Iranian strikes on Israel, resulting in the Israeli police arresting journalists and citizens for filming sites of impact, while rich Israelis fled by boat due to the closure of Ben-Gurion airport. Iran began a crackdown on Israeli terror cells, finding and closing multiple Mossad-linked covert drone factories, as well as reportedly arresting groups of Afghan nationals involved in sabotage, and multiple individuals reportedly linked to German & Indian spy agencies.

The US launched airstrikes against multiple Iranian nuclear energy sites, followed by Iran retaliating with a strike on a US airbase in Qatar. A ceasefire between Israel and Iran has been in place since shortly after this, with expectations being that Israel intends to recouperate and try again with more direct US involvement.

Following more than a year of Israeli bombings of UN and NGO aid organizations, the US launched a mercenary front called the GHF under the pretext of providing aid to three sites in Gaza. Since its initiation, the IDF has been shooting Palestinians waiting for aid en masse at GHF sites, with the number of aid seekers killed at these death traps alone now already topping 1,000.

Israel has continued to violate the ceasefire with Lebanon more than 600 times, and has refused to leave the country entirely after multiple delays. After months of the IDF violating the ceasefire in the south of Lebanon, Israel returned to bombing Beirut in March.

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. In July, fighting broke out between Jolani's factions and the Syrian Druze religious minority, who Israel has been trying to groom as proxies in Israeli-occupied Syria for months. Israel proceeded to bomb government buildings in Damascus wthout any direct retaliation from Jolani.

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, and again on July 7th.

Israel has launched more attacks on the West Bank, and unilaterally broke the US-brokered ceasefire in Gaza, refusing to move on to phase two of the deal. More sham ceasefire negotiations have occurred since, resulting in Israeli rejections.

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, 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. Nicaragua has withdrawn from the case.

The US entered into a ceasefire agreement with Ansar Allah in May of 2025 after the US navy's strikes on Yemen failed to achieve any goal beyond large amounts of killing. The US lost three planes in the process, and wasted over a billion dollars. The exchange of fire between the US and Yemen began when the US attacked Yemen on Israel's behalf, and the ceasefire only applies to the US and Yemen directly.

Yemeni Ansar Allah attacks in solidarity with Gaza have hit Ben-Gurion airport, as well as sinking two ships headed for Israel in July of 2025, since the resumption of Israel's blockade against Gaza. Yemen's blockade of Israeli shipping continues.

Demonstrators have continued to blockade and damage arms factories manufacturing weapons for Israel in the UK. Palestine Action broke into a UK military base, damaging two planes of a type which the UK government has used to aid in Israel's genocide of Palestine. Following this, the UK government under Starmer proscribed Palestine Action as a terrorist group, despite direct action being a legal form of protest in the UK. Hundreds of arrests have followed.

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

The new US administration has started unlawfully abducting students for protest and opposition to genocide. The administration has threatened to deport these students, and has gone after university funding in an effort to suppress anti-genocide speech on campuses and control the narrative. Mahmoud Khalil was later released.

Israel attacked a Freedom Flotilla boat near Malta for trying to break the illegal blockade of Gaza, and attacked a second Freedom Flotilla boat and abducted its crew.

In June, the Global March to Gaza, a peaceful humanitarian mission to get aid into Gaza through the Egyptian Rafah crossing, was blocked by the US-backed El-Sisi government. Hundreds of marchers were arrested and harrassed at the crossing by the Egyptian military.

And much, much more!

Israeli Spy Elizabeth Tsurkov Freed From Iraqi Prison By Trump

President Trump has announced that US authorities have worked out a deal to free Israeli spy, Elizabeth Tsurkov, from captivity in Iraqi prison.

Tsurkov is a Russian-born former Israeli military intelligence agent who travelled to Iraq under false pretenses. In 2023, she was arrested in Baghdad in what authorities called a spying mission.

Tsurkov entered Iraq on her Russian passport, claimed to be a student at Princeton University, and passed herself off as a supporter of Shia cleric, Muqtada al-Sadr.

In reality, however, Tsurkov had held positions at US government-connected think tanks, including Freedom House and the Atlantic Council.

President Trump announced that Tsurkov was handed over to the US Embassy in Baghdad yesterday. She is scheduled to fly to Israel today.

Israel has attacked six countries in the past 72 hours
On Tuesday, Israel launched an air strike on Hamas leaders in a residential compound located in Qatar’s capital, Doha, during a meeting of the group to discuss a US-proposed ceasefire for Gaza.

The strike killed six people, including the son of senior Hamas leader Khalil al-Hayya, the director of al-Hayya’s office, as well as three bodyguards and a Qatari security officer.

The attack was part of a wider wave of Israeli strikes extending beyond its borders and marked the sixth country attacked by Israel’s military in just 72 hours and the seventh country since the start of this year.

Gaza City’s Holy Family Church still sheltering 450 people, despite Israeli orders to flee
The parish priest of Gaza City’s Holy Family Church has said 450 people are still sheltering at the Catholic sanctuary, including the elderly, sick and children.

Father Gabriel Romanelli said “most of the population does not want to leave”, despite orders by the Israeli military to leave the city and move south.

“Everywhere there is danger, but many want to remain in the city. We try to accompany them and help as we can,” Romanelli told Vatican News on Wednesday.

Romanelli, who said the church recently received a call from Pope Leo XIV, said he and his church “continue to pray for peace, for the whole of Gaza, for the Middle East, and for the world”.

Israeli attacks on Yemen targeted news media, killed journalists: Report
The Saba news agency in Yemen has reported that a number of journalists were killed in an Israeli attack on the offices of the 26 September media outlet.

Those killed included a Saba news agency journalist, Abdullah Mahdi al-Bahri, who was killed while he was working.

The General Corporation for Radio and Television said that the Al-Yaman newspaper was also targeted by Israel.

Saba news agency said in a statement that the attack was part of Israel’s “blatant attempts to silence the free media that continues to expose its crimes and its rampant violence in Palestine, Yemen and other countries in the region”.

As we reported earlier, Israel’s attack on Yemen’s capital, Sanaa, and al-Jawf governorate, killed at least 35 people on Wednesday.

Yemen’s Ministry of Health also said 131 people were wounded in the attack.

Israeli forces kill two Palestinians, including baby, in Gaza City
Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that Israeli forces have killed two Palestinians, including a baby, as they were sheltering in tents in central Gaza City.

Another Israeli attack on a home in the Daraj neighbourhood of Gaza City injured four people, according to ambulance workers.

In the south of the Gaza Strip, an Israeli air attack targeted a building in the centre of Khan Younis.

Pentagon announces $14.2m in aid to Lebanon’s military
The US Department of War has announced the US will provide $14.2m worth of aid to Lebanon’s Armed Forces (LAF) to help it “dismantle weapons caches and military infrastructure of non-state groups, including [Hezbollah]”.

The assistance will provide the LAF with “capabilities to conduct patrols and safely remove and dispose of deadly unexploded ordnance [UXO] and [Hezbollah] weapons caches, in support of the November 2024 cessation of hostilities between Lebanon and Israel”, the Pentagon said in a statement.



The announcement comes as Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem delivered a televised speech on Wednesday, calling on regional states to step up support for the Palestinian resistance and urging governments not to “stab the resistance in the back” by siding with Israel.

UK unions call on government to repeal ‘authoritarian’ ban on Palestine Action group
The British Trades Union Congress has unanimously passed a motion calling on the British government to take action to end Israel’s war on Gaza, including ending all “military collaboration with Israel” and repealing “the proscription of Palestine Action”.

Israeli forces arrest Fatah members in occupied West Bank raids
The Israeli military has stormed a home in the occupied West Bank town of Kafr ad-Dik, west of Salfit, and arrested two men, the official Palestinian news agency Wafa reports.

The detained men were identified as Jamal Hammad, a member of the Revolutionary Council of the Palestinian National Liberation Movement (Fatah), and Ahmad Abdul Karim al-Deek, Fatah’s deputy secretary in Salfit.

Israeli forces also continue to detain Abdel Sattar Awad, Fatah’s secretary in Salfit, who was arrested in a raid on September 4.

Fatah is the largest faction of the multiparty Palestine Liberation Organization, the internationally recognised representative of the Palestinian people in the occupied Palestinian territory.

Here’s what happened today
We’ll be closing this live page soon. Here are the day’s main developments:

Qatar will host a summit of Arab and Muslim leaders on Sunday and Monday to plot a course of action after Israel’s “cowardly” attack on Doha, and show solidarity with the mediator Gulf state.
The United States is “not happy” about Israel’s air strikes on Hamas in Qatar, but the attacks will not change Washington’s allied status with Israel, Secretary of State Marco Rubio said.
At least 62 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza since dawn, of whom 49 died in the war-battered Gaza City.
More than 6,000 Palestinians in Gaza became homeless on Saturday because of incessant Israeli bombardment, the Civil Defence agency said.
The main Israeli group campaigning for the release of captives held in Gaza said that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is the “obstacle” to ending the war and freeing the abductees.
UNRWA warned that Israel’s invasion of Gaza City is driving massive new waves of displacement, leaving thousands more families with no safe place.

US lawmakers introduce 'thought police' bill to strip citizens of passports over Israel criticism
Secretary of State Marco Rubio has revoked visas and green cards of foreign nationals for opposing Israel's genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

A US congressman is introducing a bill that could potentially be used to deny US citizens the right to travel based solely on their speech, including for criticism of Israel, the Intercept reported on 13 September.

Introduced by Florida Congressman Brian Mast, chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, the bill would grant Secretary of State Marco Rubio the power to revoke the passports of US citizens in the same way he has revoked the green cards and visas of foreign nationals in the US for criticizing Israel.

In March, Secretary of State Rubio revoked the visa of Turkish doctoral student Rumeysa Ozturk after she wrote an opinion piece critical of Israel in the Tufts University student newspaper in 2024.

The op-ed did not mention Hamas, but called for boycotting and divesting from Israel.

One section of the bill grants the Secretary of State the ability to deny passports to people determined to have “knowingly aided, assisted, abetted, or otherwise provided material support to an organization the Secretary has designated as a foreign terrorist organization.”

The reference to “material support” disturbs civil liberties advocates because it is vague and can be interpreted to include speech and anti-war activism.

The Anti-Defamation League (ADL), which functions as a front for Israeli intelligence in the US, and the Louis D. Brandeis Center for Human Rights Under Law suggested in a letter last year that Students for Justice in Palestine (SJP) was providing “material support” for Hamas by organizing campus protests against Israel’s genocide of Palestinians in Gaza.

The provision regarding material support to terrorism poses a threat specifically to journalists, The Intercept noted.

In 2023, Senator Tom Cotton of Arkansas demanded a Justice Department “national security investigation” of AP, CNN, The New York Times, and Reuters after they published photos taken by freelance photographers during the Hamas attack on Israeli settlements and military bases on 7 October 2023.

Israel kills two Gaza journalists
As we reported earlier, journalist Mohammed al-Kouifi was killed in an Israeli attack in the Nassr neighbourhood of Gaza City today.

Gaza’s Government Media Office has said that two other journalists in Gaza have also been killed, naming them as photographer and broadcast engineer Ayman Haniyeh, and journalist Iman al-Zamili.

Israel never held accountable for killing journalists in Palestine for more than 20 years: UN official
Israel has never been held accountable for killing journalists in Palestine with cases going back more than 20 years, says Irene Khan, the UN special rapporteur on freedom of expression and opinion.

Khan spoke alongside the UN special rapporteur on Palestinian territory at a news briefing in Geneva, where she said Israel’s impunity has created an “environment of permissibility” in which “Israeli soldiers can do what they want to destroy those who are daring enough to expose the truth on the ground”.

She added that a “terrible precedent has been made”.

We do not ask nations to go beyond their basic obligations,” Ibrahim said.

“Condemnations will not stop the missiles. Declarations will not free Palestine. Severe, punitive actions must be put in place. Diplomatic engagements must cease, and so must take relations with Israel”.

Israeli air strike kills one in Lebanon
Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reports that an Israeli attack targeted a car near the entrance of the village of Yater in southern Lebanon earlier today.

Israel has continuously bombed Lebanon despite a nearly year-old ceasefire between it and Hezbollah.

Footage circulating on social media, which has been verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit, shows the aftermath of the strike on Yater, including the flaming wreckage of the car.

Israeli air strike on south Lebanon wounds at least 12
The Lebanese Health Ministry says at least 12 people, including four children, were wounded in an Israeli air strike on the Ksar Zaatar neighborhood in Nabatieh, a city in the south of the country.

This comes soon after the Israeli army claimed it struck a Hezbollah headquarters in the Nabatieh area.

Israeli media report intense wave of strikes on Gaza City
Citing a security source, the Israel Broadcasting Authority has reported that the Israeli army launched a series of violent attacks on the northern city.

The Walla news outlet, citing the Israeli army’s general staff, says “an intensive operation with varied firepower in Gaza, and this is just the beginning”.

Meanwhile, Channel 12 reported a wave of “exceptionally intense air strikes on Gaza [City] focused on the north and west of the city”.

Israeli attacks hit 10 UNRWA buildings in 4 days
In the last four days, 10 UNRWA buildings in Gaza have been hit by Israeli forces, the head of the agency, Philippe Lazzarini, says.

This includes “seven schools and two clinics currently used as shelters for thousands of displaced people”.

In a post on X, Lazzarini added that UNRWA, responsible for distributing humanitarian aid across Gaza, was forced to close a clinic at the Shati Camp, one of Gaza’s largest refugee camps, and added that “vital water & sanitation services are now only at half capacity”.

Israel displacing Palestinians to ‘concentration camps’ in al-Mawasi
Gaza’s Health Ministry says Israel is forcibly displacing Palestinians under the threat of air strikes to the overcrowded “concentration camps” in the southern area of al-Mawasi.

In a statement, the ministry warned that al-Mawasi lacks the “basic necessities of life, including water, food, health services” and is an area “where illnesses spread dangerously”.

“The forcibly displaced are subjected to direct targeting and killing both inside the camps and when attempting to leave them, constituting a blatant violation of all humanitarian and international laws,” it added.

As the army has continued with its plans to seize Gaza City, residents have been forced out under threat of attack to travel southwards to the area, which the army has designated as safe.

However, al-Mawasi has also come under attack by Israel, rendering no place in the enclave safe to live or free from attacks.

PIJ claims capture of Israeli drone in Gaza
The al-Quds Brigades, the armed wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, says in a brief statement on Telegram that its forces seized “an Israeli quadcopter while carrying out intelligence missions in the skies over Khan Younis”.

UK bans Israel from defence studies college over Gaza humanitarian law concerns
Israel has been banned from a prestigious British defence college due to concerns about compliance with international humanitarian law in Gaza.

The United Kingdom’s government has confirmed that the Royal College of Defence Studies will no longer accept Israelis.

In a statement to The Telegraph newspaper, a spokesperson for the Defence Ministry said “the Israeli government’s decision to further escalate its military operation in Gaza is wrong”.

It added: “There must be a diplomatic solution to end this war now, with an immediate ceasefire, the return of the hostages and a surge in humanitarian aid to the people of Gaza.”

Highlights from the summit so far
Leaders representing Arab and Islamic countries are still delivering remarks in Doha, but let’s take a second to recap some of the notable lines from the summit:

Qatari Emir Sheikh Tamim bin Hamad Al Thani said Israel’s “aggression is blatant, treacherous, cowardly” and seeks to undermine negotiations to end the war on Gaza.
Hissein Brahim Taha, secretary-general of the Organisation of Islamic Cooperation, said the summit is an opportunity to take a “unified and firm stance against the heinous Israeli aggression”.
Ahmed Aboul Gheit, secretary-general of the Arab League, called Israel a “rogue state” and called for an end to international silence on its crimes.
Iraqi Prime Minister Mohammed Shia al-Sudani proposed a NATO-style defence pact for the community of Arab and Islamic states.
Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan called for “self-sufficiency” for the region.

UN inquiry finds Israel’s war on Gaza to be genocide

A United Nations inquiry has found that Israel’s war on Gaza is a genocide, a landmark moment after nearly two years of war.

Navi Pillay, chair of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory, made the announcement of the UN inquiry to Al Jazeera on Tuesday.

“We’ve identified the president [Isaac Herzog], the Prime Minister [Benjamin] Netanyahu and the former minister of defence [Yoav Gallant] based on their statements and the orders that they’ve given,” Pillay said in an interview.

“Because these three individuals were agents of the state, under the law, the state is held responsible. So we say it’s [the] state of Israel that has committed genocide,” she added.

According to the report, the Commission found that along with the statements made by the Israeli officials, there was “circumstantial evidence” that led to their findings of genocidal intent.

“The Commission concludes that the Israeli authorities and Israeli security forces have the genocidal intent to destroy, in whole or in part, the Palestinians in the Gaza Strip,” the report found.

UN accused Israel of genocide given orders from top Israeli officials
Navi Pillay, head of the UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the rights situation in the occupied Palestinian territory, has told Al Jazeera that, based on the statements of Israel’s President Herzog, Netanyahu and former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and the orders which they have given, the UN has reached the conclusion that Israel is committing genocide.

“Because these three individuals were agents of the state, under the law the state then is held responsible,” Pillay said. “So we say it is the State of Israel that has committed genocide.”

At least 91 of those killed in Israeli attacks today lost their lives in Gaza City, they said.

Irish president suggests Israel, allies supplying arms should be excluded from UN
Michael D Higgins says the UN Commission of Inquiry’s report that concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza is an “important” document that should spark international action.

“I believe myself that the kind of actions that are necessary now are the exclusion of those who are practising genocide, and those who are supporting genocide with armaments,” the Irish president told reporters.

“We must look at their exclusion from the United Nations itself, and we should have no hesitation any longer in relation to ending trade with people who are inflicting this at our fellow human beings.”

Ireland, where many see parallels between the country’s struggle for independence from the United Kingdom and Palestinians’ push for self-determination, recognised Palestinian statehood last year.

The country has also formally backed South Africa’s case at the International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide.

Houthis claim responsibility for missile attack against Israel
The Yemeni group says it fired two hypersonic missiles against Israel, hours after the Israeli military said it intercepted one missile fired from Yemen.

“Silence over this horrific and heinous crime will only encourage the enemy to continue its attacks against all Arab and Islamic countries and as we have previously warned, this brutal, criminal aggression will spread to various countries unless peoples and states mobilize to stand firm and confront it,” Houthi military spokesperson Yahya Saree said in a statement.

“We will continue to fulfill our duties until the aggression against Gaza stops and the blockade is lifted.”

Earlier today, Israel launched air strikes targeting the port in the coastal Yemeni city of Hodeidah.

Netanyahu says Trump invited him to White House again
Several Israeli media outlets have cited Netanyahu as saying that he will be heading to Washington, DC, after his speech at the UN General Assembly later this month.

This would be the Israeli prime minister’s fourth visit to the White House since Trump took office in January and his first since Israel attacked Qatar.

Doha attack shows Israel uninterested in serious ceasefire negotiations: Guterres
UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has held a news conference before the 80th session of the UN General Assembly.

Here are some of his comments:

Let’s be clear. With the attack that took place in Qatar, it doesn’t look like Israel is interested in serious negotiations for a ceasefire and release of hostages.
The war in Gaza is morally, politically and legally intolerable.
Qatar has already announced it is ready to start mediation again. That mediation is absolutely vital, when we see the new phase of destruction of Gaza City, to reach an immediate ceasefire with an immediate and unconditional release of hostages, with immediate entry of humanitarian aid.
Let’s hope that Qatar’s meeting with the US will lead to the US putting pressure on Israel to seriously accept negotiations.
I would be delighted to receive Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he asks for that, as I will do with any other member head of state, including President Donald Trump.
According to the rules, I will inform, if that is the case, the International Criminal Court. But the gravity of the situation in Israel and the occupied Palestinian territory is more than justified that if the prime minister of Israel wants a meeting, I will grant it.

Israeli drone fires stun grenade at south Lebanon town
Lebanon’s National News Agency reports that an Israeli drone has dropped a stun grenade, targeting the village of Aita al-Shaab.

Israel has been launching near daily attacks across Lebanon in violation of a ceasefire it agreed with Hezbollah in November of last year.

It often uses stun grenades in border towns as part of a campaign that locals say aims to intimidate residents and discourage displaced people against returning to their homes.

US Muslim group urges Congress to stop Gaza genocide after UN report
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) says Congress has a moral and legal obligation to stop the mass killing of Palestinians in Gaza after the UN Commission of Inquiry’s report that concluded that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

“The world can no longer look away. The evidence of genocide in Gaza is overwhelming, and now it has been confirmed by a United Nations investigation. The Israeli government has acted with clear intent to destroy the Palestinian population in Gaza,” the group said in a statement.

“We call on members of Congress to immediately recognize this genocide, condemn it in the strongest possible terms, and act to suspend all military aid to the Israeli government. Our nation cannot continue using American taxpayer dollars to fund what every know [sic] is a genocide, whether they admit it or not.”

Congress authorises billions of dollars in military aid to Israel annually.

Arms embargo against Israel is ‘the bare minimum’: Rashida Tlaib
The Palestinian-American congresswoman calls for action against Israel after the UN Commission of Inquiry’s report confirmed that the Israeli military is carrying out a genocide in Gaza.

“As the apartheid regime accelerates its destruction and ethnic cleansing of Gaza, the UN has concluded what we’ve already known: Israel, with full US support, is committing genocide in Palestine,” she wrote in a social media post.

“Boycott, Divest, Sanction. An arms embargo is the bare minimum. Free Palestine.”

NetBlocks confirms major internet disruption across Gaza Strip
The internet watchdog has confirmed a “significant disruption to connectivity” across the Gaza Strip, with northern regions, where Israel is carrying out its assault, particularly affected, plunging it into a near blackout.

Earlier today, the Palestinian Telecommunications Regulatory Authority said telephone lines and internet connections were down due to Israeli attacks on several main routes supplying the region.

NetBlocks attributed the disruption to connectivity to “the targeting of one of the main fibre optic routes”.

At least 50 Palestinians killed in Gaza since dawn
Israeli attacks have killed at least 50 Palestinians in Gaza since the morning, 38 of them in Gaza City, hospital sources tell Al Jazeera.

Aid seekers killed by Israeli gunfire in western Rafah
A number of Palestinians have been killed and wounded after Israeli troops opened fire on desperate people waiting to receive food in the western area of Rafah, southern Gaza, sources tell Al Jazeera.

Since the establishment of the US- and Israeli-backed GHF at the end of May, at least 2,497 people have been killed and more than 18,294 wounded, the Health Ministry reported on Tuesday.

The GHF initiative has been widely denounced by aid groups and the United Nations. The UN and humanitarian agencies say they have the means to distribute desperately needed aid to alleviate the suffering of Palestinians in starved Gaza.

Israeli attack on Gaza children’s hospital denounced
The Health Ministry in Gaza has condemned an Israeli strike on the al-Rantisi Children’s Hospital in war-battered Gaza City.

A statement said the medical facility was struck three consecutive times, but no casualties were reported. At least 40 patients are believed to have fled the hospital, while 40 stayed behind with some staff.

The ministry has called on “all concerned parties to provide protection for health institutions, medical staff and patients in Gaza governorate”.

Israeli military intensifies arrest of draft dodgers
Dado Bar Kalifa, a general in the staffing directorate, has told a Knesset committee the Israeli army is carrying out “intensifying” arrests of draft dodgers and 13,000 have been identified.

The testimony comes with the military’s struggle to draft Ultra-Orthodox Jews, who make up about one-tenth of Israel’s population, as they refuse military service.

In a separate report on the committee by the Israel Hayom news outlet, Bar Kalifa reportedly said “dodging has become the norm” and is causing frustration in other brigades.

Kalifa was quoted as saying “there is an army of lawyers arranging exemptions.”

Thousands of Israeli soldiers storm Gaza City
Israeli troops and tanks are pushing deeper into Gaza City on the second day of a ground offensive widely condemned internationally as Palestinians flee the devastated area en masse.

Israel’s military said air force and artillery units attacked the city more than 150 times in the past few days before the ground forces moved in. The strikes have toppled high-rise towers in areas densely populated by tent camps for the displaced.

The death count in Gaza is now nearing 65,000 since the war began in October 2023, a figure said to be far lower than the actual number of people killed.

An Israeli military graphic suggested it plans to control all of the Gaza Strip except for a swath along the coast by the end of the current invasion.

Israeli forces have carried out multiple large-scale raids into Gaza City over the course of the war, causing mass displacements and heavy destruction, only to see Palestinian fighters regroup later.

This time, Israel has pledged to take control of the entire city, which experts said is experiencing famine.

Jeremy Corbyn demands UK response to UN genocide report on Gaza
The British parliamentarian and former Labour party leader has published a letter calling on Foreign Secretary Yvette Cooper to make an “immediate” statement on the UN inquiry’s report accusing Israel of committing genocide in Gaza.

Corbyn said the UK government has reacted to the findings of the inquiry in silence.

“Time and time again we have reminded the government of its obligations to prevent genocide,” he said in the letter. “Time and time again our calls are met with evasion, obfuscation and denial.”

Corbyn called on Cooper to attend the House of Commons to take questions from MPs on the government’s reaction to the UN report.

UK lawmakers denied entry to occupied West Bank by Israel
Two Labour MPs, Peter Prinsley and Simon Opher, say they were denied entry to the occupied West Bank by Israeli authorities.

Few Lebanese families return to villages in south destroyed by Israel war
By Zeina Khodr

Abou Chach, Lebanon – Living in what they describe as a ghost town, the Shabbi family has to contend with the destruction around them.

“We are living a primitive life,” said Kawthar Shabbi, noting her family now sleeps in what used to be the cow’s shed.

Like thousands of other people across the region, their home was destroyed by an Israeli attack. Their only guests are UN peacekeepers with whom they have created a bond.

Human rights groups such as Amnesty International have called for an inquiry into Israel’s widespread destruction of civilian property in southern Lebanon, saying its actions should be investigated as war crimes.

Brazil intervenes in genocide case against Israel at world court
The International Court of Justice (ICJ) said Brazil has filed a formal declaration of intervention in the case brought by South Africa accusing Israel of violating the Genocide Convention in Gaza.

Brazil, a party to the 1948 Genocide Convention, said the interpretation of Articles I, II, and III of the treaty was at stake in the proceedings. Its declaration offers Brazil’s interpretation of those articles and ensures that the ICJ’s eventual ruling will also be binding on Brazil.

South Africa first filed the case on December 29, 2023, and the ICJ has since ordered several sets of provisional measures requiring Israel to prevent acts of genocide and allow humanitarian aid into Gaza.

Brazil joins a growing list of states intervening in the case, including Colombia, Libya, Mexico, Spain, Turkiye, Chile, the Maldives, Bolivia, Ireland, Cuba, and Belize.

More than 90 Palestinians killed in Gaza by Israel forces
At least 91 people have been killed across the Gaza Strip in Israeli attacks since dawn, hospital sources tell Al Jazeera.

Among the dead were 76 Palestinians killed in war-devastated Gaza City during the Israeli military’s attempt to seize and occupy the territory’s main urban centre.

At least 11 people were killed from one family in the al-Sabra neighbourhood in southwestern Gaza, where residential homes were targeted by multiple air strikes. Many people are missing and trapped under the rubble.

Some stuff from 09/18:

‘Days of rage’: Hamas calls for global protests to end war and lift blockade
Hamas has issued a statement urging worldwide protests on Friday, Saturday and Sunday to demand an end to Israel’s genocide in Gaza and the lifting of the blockade that has unleashed famine in the Palestinian territory.

The group called on “all free people” to escalate global demonstrations in solidarity with Gaza’s population, and to protest “genocide, starvation, and forced displacement”.

The statement encouraged rallies outside Israeli and US embassies and urged unions, students and lawmakers to intensify pressure campaigns to reopen border crossings and allow humanitarian aid into the battered enclave.

Hamas also called for support for the next humanitarian aid flotilla headed to Gaza, warning Israel not to target it. The group said the coming days should mark “a new phase” of international mobilisation aimed at stopping the war and ending the siege.

Israel begins striking southern Lebanon
The Israeli army says its air force has begun striking “Hezbollah military sites” across southern Lebanon.

The attacks came shortly after the military said it planned to attack southern Lebanon and called on residents in at least three areas to flee.

Israel has repeatedly attacked southern Lebanon despite agreeing to ceasefire in November 2024 with Lebanon.

Israeli air raids hit two towns in southern Lebanon
Lebanon’s National News Agency reports that an Israeli strike has just targeted the town of Kfar Tebnit.

Separately, two missiles struck residential homes at risk of collapse in the town of Meiss el-Jabal, also in southern Lebanon.

Israeli army attacks ‘densely populated’ villages in southern Lebanon as resident flee
By Zeina Khodr
Reporting from Beirut, Lebanon

The Israeli army has begun carrying out a number of air strikes on a number of locations in southern Lebanon.

The evacuation orders [were] issued approximately an hour ago. We saw mass evacuations, people leaving villages because the evacuation warnings were posted on social media and marked the buildings it planned to hit in three villages … villages that are densely populated.

We saw people pack whatever they could and make their way to safer areas.

Israel continuously targets Lebanon despite the November cessation of hostilities agreement. Near-daily attacks.

Most of these attacks are pinpoint strikes; they target vehicles, motorcycles – they target what they call Hezbollah members and assets.

But these buildings are in densely populated areas, so there is a lot of concern and fear. People are worried that Israel intends to escalate its attacks.

The Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam is calling the international community … among them the United States, to pressure Israel to stop these attacks and to withdraw from positions it still holds within Lebanese territory along the border, as well as to release prisoners.

Israeli army orders more evacuations in southern Lebanon as strikes resume
Israeli army spokesperson Avichay Adraee has issued new forced evacuation orders to residents of the southern Lebanese towns of Tair Zebna in al-Shahabiya, and Burj Qallawiyah, warning them to immediately leave buildings marked in red on maps published on social media and move at least 500 metres away.

The warning, framed as a “safety measure”, amounts to a forced displacement order and comes just minutes after Israel confirmed it has begun a new wave of air strikes on “Hezbollah targets” across southern Lebanon, despite a ceasefire agreement reached with the group in November 2024.

Residents who remain in their homes “are at risk”, Adraee said, as Israeli warplanes continue bombing multiple areas in the south.

Israel has committed more than 4,500 violations since 2024 truce, Lebanese army says
Lebanon’s army says Israel has committed more than 4,500 violations since the cessation of hostilities agreement with Hezbollah went into effect in November after its assault on Lebanon.

In a statement, the military said Israel continues to attack civilians and villages in the south, including more strikes today that have killed and wounded residents, and accused Israel of repeated violations by land, sea, and air.

The army added that Israeli actions, including firing incendiary bombs and demolishing homes, are obstructing its deployment in the south and threaten to derail its plan to fully secure areas south of the Litani River.

During engineering sweeps in southern Lebanon, an army unit found and dismantled a camouflaged Israeli spy device in the Labbouneh area near Tyre. The army said it is coordinating with UNIFIL and the ceasefire monitoring committee to follow up on the violations.

Northern Gaza emptying as tents vanish, displacement surges
The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics says about 740,000 people – roughly 35 percent of Gaza’s 2.1 million population – remained in the north of the enclave as of Tuesday.

In a statement, the bureau warned the figure could drop further because of continued Israeli attacks and forced displacement. It said northern Gaza – once a major population centre – has turned into a “hub of renewed displacement” with basic services largely absent and security conditions worsening.

Satellite images taken from September 4 to Monday showed thousands of tents that had been set up on empty land along the coast and among Gaza City’s rubble have now disappeared or have significantly declined in number, including large camps in the Sheikh Radwan and Remal neighbourhoods and Shati refugee camp.

Despite some families trying to return home in the past several months, the bureau said ongoing Israeli assaults and the new ground invasion are driving residents to flee again, leaving the population “highly unstable and constantly shifting”.

Houthis claim missile and drone strikes on Israel
Yemen’s Houthis say they carried out a “qualitative military operation” firing a hypersonic ballistic missile at a military site in the Tel Aviv area, forcing Israelis into shelters and briefly closing airspace.

Spokesperson Yahya Saree said their drone forces also struck “various targets” in Eilat with three drones and hit a “sensitive target” in Beersheba with another. He said both operations “successfully achieved their objectives”.

Saree warned that Eilat would “remain under continuous targeting” and accused Israel of endangering the entire region, pledging to keep supporting the Palestinian people “until the aggression on Gaza stops and the siege is lifted”.

US vetoes ceasefire resolution
The US is the sole country to vote against today’s ceasefire resolution. Because it is a permanent member of the council, the vote means the resolution has been scuttled.

The US representative said the resolution “fails to condemn Hamas or recognise Israel’s right to defend itself, and it wrongly legitimises the false narratives benefiting Hamas, which have sadly found currency in this council”.

The US, a close ally of Israel, has repeatedly voted down UN Security Council resolutions on a ceasefire.

PM Salam says Lebanon committed to ceasefire, Israel is not
As Israel prepares to bomb several areas across south Lebanon, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has accused Israel of carrying out “intimidation and aggression” outside the framework of last year’s ceasefire agreement and the internationally backed mechanism to monitor it.

“Lebanon calls on the international community, especially the countries sponsoring the agreement to cease hostilities, to exert maximum pressure on Israel to immediately stop its aggressions,” he said in a statement.

France and the United States are the main sponsors of the deal.

Salam also called for pressuring Israel to withdraw from the Lebanese areas that it still occupies and to release Lebanese captives in its custody.

US veto of Gaza ceasefire bid is complicity in ‘genocide’, Hamas says
Hamas has condemned Washington’s move to block a UN Security Council resolution calling for a ceasefire in Gaza, calling it “blatant complicity in the crime of genocide”.

The group praised the 10 countries that sponsored the resolution and urged them to increase pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to halt its assault.

Hamas hails Allenby crossing attack, vows continued resistance
Hamas has praised the shooting attack that killed two Israelis near the Allenby crossing, calling it a “heroic operation” and a clear message against Israel’s “genocide, annexation, and settlement policies” in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

In a statement, the group said the assault reflects the anger of the Palestinian people and the broader Arab and Islamic world, particularly Jordanians, in response to “daily massacres” and Israel’s ongoing aggression.

Hamas added that the attack proves the determination of the region’s people is “stronger than the machine of oppression and terror” and that attempts to isolate Palestinians from their Arab and Islamic surroundings will fail.

The group pledged that Israel’s assault will only fuel further resistance and said Palestinians will remain committed to defending their land and establishing an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Israeli army: Four soldiers killed in fighting in southern Gaza
Four Israeli soldiers have been killed during fighting in the southern Gaza Strip, the army says.

Israeli media reported that the four were killed in the early hours of the morning in the southern Gaza city of Rafah.

Lebanon’s Meiss al-Jabal officials decry ‘cowardly’ Israeli attacks
The municipality of Meiss el-Jabal in southern Lebanon condemned a “cowardly aggression” after Israeli forces bombed two homes in the town earlier today, causing extensive damage, wounding a worker, and forcing the temporary evacuation of dozens of families, including children, women, and the elderly.

In a statement, the municipality said the repeated Israeli attacks are undermining security and obstructing civilian life.

“We place this ongoing aggression in the hands of Lebanon’s official authorities and the international mediators of the ceasefire agreement, which so far has only been implemented by Lebanon,” the statement read.

“Mere condemnations are no longer enough unless they are accompanied by serious national actions or binding international decisions.”

Italian port blocks arms for Israel as worker protests mount
Italy’s Adriatic port of Ravenna has refused entry to two trucks said to be carrying arms to Israel, as protests mount among Italian dockworkers and other labour groups against the war in Gaza.

The centre-left mayor of Ravenna, Alessandro Barattoni, told reporters the port authority had accepted the request from him and the regional government to deny access to the lorries carrying explosives en route to the Israeli port of Haifa.

“The Italian state says it has blocked the sale of arms to Israel, but it is unacceptable that, thanks to bureaucratic loopholes, they can pass through Italy from other countries,” Barattoni said in a statement.



Similar action to block arms shipments to Israel has been taken by dockworkers in other European countries such as France, Sweden and Greece.

Ravenna’s decision reflects growing mobilisation in Italy against Israel’s assault and in support of an international flotilla trying to deliver aid to the Palestinians.

On Friday, Italy’s largest trade union body, the CGIL, will hold a national half-day strike and marches in Rome and other cities, while on September 22, two other unions will halt work and try to block activity in the large ports of Genoa and Livorno.

The CGIL said its protests were aimed at generating pressure on Prime Minister Giorgia Meloni’s government “to suspend all commercial and military cooperation agreements with Israel, lift the humanitarian embargo, and recognise the State of Palestine”.

UNIFIL resumes landmine clearing suspended at start of war
The United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), meant to enforce a buffer area between Israel and Hezbollah, made the announcement today before Israel’s latest strikes on southern Lebanon.

It said de-mining efforts had been suspended at the start of the war amid exchanges of fire across the border. It was not immediately clear whether Israel’s repeated violations of a ceasefire agreement reached in November would again force the peacekeeping mission to suspend the effort.

The two areas being worked on by teams from China and Cambodia cover 18,000 square metres (193,750 square feet). The UN Security Council approved what was described as the final extension of UNIFIL’s mandate in August, setting it on a course to wind down by December 2026.

Internet and landline services restored in northern Gaza
The Palestinian Telecommunications Company (Paltel) says its crews have restored internet and landline services in Gaza and North Gaza governorates despite “dangerous field conditions”.

The restoration follows a full outage reported yesterday by the telecom regulator after Israeli attacks damaged key network routes.

This has been confirmed by connectivity watchdog NetBlocks, which, after a 35-hour blackout, said “overall service remains far below pre-war levels”.

Israeli attacks complicate Lebanese gov’t push to disarm Hezbollah
By Ali Harb
Reporting from Washington, DC

As Israeli missiles started to rain down on south Lebanon earlier today, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam once again asked the sponsors of the ceasefire – the US and France – to reign in their ally.

The promise of US guarantees that Israel would not just roll in and take south Lebanon, if not the entire country, is at the heart of the so-called American paper that was adopted by the Lebanese government to disarm Hezbollah.

The group has resoundingly rejected that push, saying that it will treat the Lebanese government’s decree as if it does not exist. Hezbollah argues that even in its weakened state the group serves as a deterrence against Israeli expansionism.

The continuing Israeli bombardment may bolster Hezbollah’s argument.

After the Israeli strikes on Doha earlier this month, Hezbollah was quick to note a US administration that is unwilling to stop Israel from attacking Qatar – a major non-NATO ally of the US and a global transport and trade hub – also won’t protect a beleaguered Lebanon.

After Israel’s wave of air strikes, Shia Muslim Grand Mufti Ahmad Qabalan questioned Lebanese leaders’ stated commitment to the country’s sovereignty.

“With all my pain and sorrow, I say to the ruling class in this country, which is being offered for sale at the lowest possible price: Where is the authority of national screaming and the choir of arms monopoly from the hell of Zionist terrorism that tramples the very dignity of those who claim to represent national sovereignty?” Qabalan said.

Israeli army says van with ultra-Orthodox draft evaders attacked
An Israeli military van transporting arrested ultra-Orthodox Jewish draft evaders was attacked overnight by protesters from the community, the army says.

Thousands of draft notices have been sent in recent months to ultra-Orthodox Jews, who have traditionally been largely exempt from military service.

“Several draft evaders were arrested today, tried in disciplinary proceedings and sent to military detention,” the military said in a statement late on Wednesday. “While en route to the prison … several demonstrators threw stones and sprayed tear gas at the vehicle.”

Calls within Israel to end the exemptions for ultra-Orthodox Jews have intensified, with some reservists serving hundreds of days since the war began nearly two years ago.

Qatar goes to ICC over Israeli attack
A senior Qatari official has met the president of the International Criminal Court as it seeks legal action against Israel over its unprecedented strikes on Doha.

Chief negotiator Mohammed al-Khulaifi met Judge Tomoko Akane in The Hague on Wednesday as Doha pursues legal moves against Israel.

In a post on X after the meeting, al-Khulaifi said his visit was “part of the work of the team tasked with exploring legal avenues to respond to the illegal Israeli armed attack against the State of Qatar”.

Last year, the ICC launched a prosecution of Netanyahu for war crimes and crimes against humanity during Israel’s war on Gaza, including by intentionally targeting civilians and using starvation as a method of war.

Two killed from shooting attack at Jordan-West Bank crossing
The two people hurt in the shooting attack at the Israel-controlled King Hussein (Allenby) Bridge between Jordan and the occupied West Bank have been pronounced dead, Israel’s emergency service said.

The Israeli military says details of the shooting are under investigation, adding that the attacker arrived in a truck transporting humanitarian aid from Jordan and opened fire.

The two victims were about 20 and 60 years of age, respectively.

Israeli ‘disinformation’ campaign seeks to erase Gaza atrocities: UNRWA
Philippe Lazzarini, head of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA), says Gaza has been “the battleground of a fierce and rampant information war”.

“Disinformation continues to be used as a tool to distract from the atrocities in the war-torn enclave,” he said, adding that UNRWA was the first target followed by other UN agencies, the media, and health facilities.

Lazzarini said the recent denial of famine in Gaza, as well as the dismissal of genocide findings by a UN commission of inquiry released this week, are examples of efforts to undermine expert assessments and “promote narratives denying atrocities and dehumanising Palestinians”.

He called for international journalists to be allowed into Gaza to support their Palestinian colleagues, whose reporting he described as “heroic”, adding their voices risk being “silenced” as Israeli attacks expand.

Israeli attacks across Gaza kill 79, wound 228 in latest 24-hour reporting period
The Palestinian Health Ministry has just released its latest daily statistical update on the casualties caused by Israel’s war on Gaza.

It said the bodies of at least 79 Palestinians killed in Israeli attacks had been brought to hospitals across the besieged territory while 228 people had been wounded.

The figures bring the overall number of people killed and wounded to at least 65,141 and 165,925, respectively.

The ministry added that a number of people remain trapped under the rubble of buildings that collapsed in Israeli attacks.
