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!

Scottish community-owned island announces boycott of Israel

THE Isle of Eigg has announced a full boycott of Israel amid its genocide in Gaza.

The community-owned island on Scotland’s west coast is home to 120 people, all of whom are members of the Isle of Eigg Residents Association (IERA) – which has now made public its support of the Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

A Palestinian-led movement, BDS looks to end international support for Israel's oppression of Palestinians and pressure Israel to comply with international law through boycotting its goods and services.

In a statement, the residents association said this decision – passed unanimously at a meeting last week – was taken in order to “stand in solidarity with the people of Palestine and to raise awareness of the complicity of these companies in genocide”.

For example, the boycott means the island’s only shop will stop stocking goods from Israel firms as well as its biggest supporters – including Coca Cola due to its alleged links to illegal Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

“We are a diverse island community, and many of us rely on these companies for medicine, technology, and the transport of goods that are otherwise unavailable,” the statement went on.

“This action is about solidarity, education, and contribution to a worldwide movement that has succeeded in pressuring businesses to cut economic ties with the apartheid state of Israel and end complicity in war crimes and operations in occupied territories.

The IERA added: “The action is not about creating an environment of hostility or policing individual choices. We embrace the inevitability of mistakes and imperfection, and prioritise the importance of community, unity and informed choices, encouraging each other to take action with the little bargaining power we have—our money. This is part of a continuous commitment to fundraising and solidarity with oppressed peoples.”

The residents association also said it was inspired by the community of Govanhill in Glasgow, who recently announced it would be working toward being an “apartheid-free zone”.

The statement concluded: “We invite others to reflect, learn, and explore how their communities might take meaningful steps toward justice and solidarity.”

Israel Rolls Out New Underground ‘Pilot’ Prison Wing – Designed to Break Palestinian Resistance Fighters

Israeli broadcaster KAN has confirmed the expansion of a sealed, underground wing at Ayalon Prison—opened nearly a year ago under far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir—to detain and torture Palestinian resistance fighters.

▪️ Known as the Rakafet Wing, the facility operates as a sealed concrete bunker under 24/7 surveillance. Prisoners are locked in their cells 23 hours a day, with a single hour in a fortified concrete “yard” with no open sky.

▪️ Detainees are denied basic human contact. Speaking to one another is banned. Their meals are delivered through cell slots, and every movement is monitored.

▪️ The prison commander told Israeli media the wing is part of a pilot program to test harsher detention methods.

▪️ Detainees, the Israeli broadcaster claimed, include members of Hamas’s Nukhba and Radwan forces.

▪️One wall of the facility features a large photo of destroyed Gaza—a deliberate form of psychological warfare. Israel claims conditions meet “international minimums,” but the design, rhetoric, and purpose reveal a system built to dehumanize.

➤ Guards use only numbers—not names—and undergo “special psychological training” to stay emotionally detached.

Israeli broadcaster highlights the mental toll on the guards at a prison where Palestinians are starved, beaten, and held underground. One says: “Of course it’s not easy… And if someone needs professional or psychological help, we provide it. We have constant support from mental health professionals and are ready for any challenge.”

Iran Defies Trump’s Legacy in the Gulf: Peace through strength.

In the Persian Gulf, Iran forced the U.S. Navy into a rare and humbling retreat. The US guided missile destroyer USS Fitzgerald (DDG-62) attempted to edge into Iranian territorial waters. But Tehran was watching and on alert. Within minutes, an Iranian Navy helicopter from the third naval aviation command took off and intercepted the vessel, shadowing it with precision.

The Fitzgerald’s captain responded with confidence and repeated threats to shoot down the Iranian aircraft—an unmistakable show of tension. But the Iranian pilot refused to flinch, holding formation just outside firing range, ready to fire.

Then came Iran’s escalation: the naval command received orders from the top leadership and firmly notified the US warship that it was now being tracked by Iranian coastal anti-ship missile systems, locked and ready to destroy the USS Fitzgerald. The message was clear and chilling: one wrong move, and Iran could unleash firepower.

Faced with the reality of Iranian targeting systems bearing down from land and air, the Fitzgerald's Captain reversed course and withdrew with his tail between his legs. In a region long dominated by American posturing, today’s standoff ended with Iran holding the line—and the high ground.

Breaking– The Two Israeli war Crimimals Who Were Arrested In Belgium Are Now Located in Amsterdam Netherlands

The #HindRajabFoundation, in collaboration with #GLAN, has filed an urgent criminal complaint with the Dutch authorities calling for their immediate arrest.

These individuals are accused of:

Direct attacks on civilians and civilian infrastructure,

Torture, unlawful detention, and the use of human shields,

The deliberate destruction of homes, hospitals, and agricultural land,

And the creation of life-threatening conditions aimed at destroying the Palestinian population in whole or in part — acts constituting genocide under international law.

One of the suspects is a military commander, with operational responsibility for these crimes.

At this time, it remains unclear whether they were legally permitted to leave Belgium, or whether they are now fugitives evading justice.

In response, the HRF has submitted an urgent legal complaint to the Dutch Public Prosecution Service, calling on the Netherlands to:

Locate and arrest the suspects immediately,

Initiate criminal proceedings under the Dutch universal jurisdiction framework,

Or extradite them to a competent state for prosecution.

Under the Genocide Convention, the Geneva Conventions, the Rome Statute, and Dutch national law, the Netherlands has a binding legal obligation to act. Allowing these individuals to transit freely would constitute a serious violation of international law and offer impunity to perpetrators of mass atrocity.

The Dutch authorities now bear direct legal and moral responsibility.

Popular Front for the Liberation of Palestine:

The systematic starvation war in Gaza surpasses Nazism and Fascism in its horror and brutality.

The continuation of the new Nazis' systematic starvation war against more than two million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, concurrently with widespread bombing, forced displacement of exhausted displaced persons, systematic destruction of health and service infrastructure, and a severe drinking water crisis threatening the lives of residents, constitutes unprecedented major war crimes that exceed all known history of Nazism and Fascism.

The ease with which starving civilians are killed while trying to obtain aid from American-sponsored death traps brings to mind scenes from Nazi camps that prepared people for death by starvation and massacres. It confirms the direct involvement and actual participation of the United States in this heinous crime, which the occupation commits amidst intense bombing and siege that prevents the entry of the most basic necessities of life.

The world's silence and suspicious inaction in the face of this crime, its inability to hold the occupation accountable, and its blatant complicity with the United States, constitute a resounding moral fall and a scandalous betrayal of all humanitarian values. To leave an entire people to face real famine and slow death under siege and bombing is actual participation in this crime, committed in its most horrific new Nazi forms by the perpetrators of atrocities and criminals of this era, who continue their crimes without mercy, while the world contents itself with issuing hollow statements that are not worth the ink they were written with and have turned into tools of anesthesia and disguised complicity.

The peoples of the world are required to rise up and face their responsibilities, and to hold accountable everyone who participates directly or indirectly in this crime; for the time has come to triumph for humanity and dignity, as what is happening in Gaza exceeds all limits of cruelty and brutality.

Our people will not forgive or pardon those who faltered, colluded, or remained silent and left them alone to face hunger and extermination. The cries of hungry children will remain a witness, and history will not be merciful to the complacent and the onlookers.

They demanded the opening of the Rafah crossing and the entry of food into Gaza as a condition for releasing the officers.

In the video telling the Egyptian regime officers:

“Open the crossing، our brothers are dying of hunger in Gaza.

If I went to Al-Azhar Square and shouted, ‘We’re going to Gaza, martyrs by the millions,’ what would you do to me? You’d throw me into this cell, because you follow orders without question. Use your mind.”

“Protests,”
and “Support for Gaza,”

Israeli-backed militants carry out terror attack in Iran
Israel's intelligence chief vowed to continue covert attacks within Iran after Tel Aviv's 12-day war with Tehran in June

Members of an Israeli-linked group carried out a terror attack in Iran's Sistan and Baluchestan province on 26 July, Iranian state media IRNA reported. At least six people were killed in the attack, as well as three attackers.

Alireza Daliri, deputy law enforcement commander in the province, told IRNA that members of the terrorist team attempted to enter the Judiciary Department in the city of Zahedan on Saturday morning.

Local security forces confronted the attackers, killing all three of them in clashes.

Two of the militants fled the scene but were killed several streets away from the Judiciary building. The third attempted to detonate a grenade but was killed before he was able to.

A mother and her one-year-old child were among those killed, Daliri said.

Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) in Zahedan said that 22 others were injured in the attack – the majority civilians.

The Iranian Judiciary said that emergency personnel had been sent to the scene, evacuating the injured to nearby hospitals.

In a statement posted on social media, Jaish al-Adl (Army of Justice), a Baloch militant group, claimed responsibility for the attack, and urged “all civilians to immediately evacuate the area of clashes for their safety."

On 25 July, one member of Iran's paramilitary volunteer group, the Basiji, was killed after an attack by Kurdish militants from the Kurdistan Free Life Party (PJAK) on a military checkpoint near Sardasht close to the Iraqi border.

The PJAK is a sister organisation of the Kurdistan Workers Party (PKK) and is often perceived as taking orders from the PKK leadership.

The attack comes as Israel has stepped up covert attacks in Iran following the 12-day war launched by Tel Aviv against Tehran in June. Israeli drone and warplane attacks killed 935 Iranians. At least 30 Israelis were killed by Iranian retaliation attacks.

Officials cited by the New York Times (NYT) on 23 July said they suspect Israel to be behind the mysterious explosions that have taken place across the country since the end of the war a month ago.

“Many of them were acts of sabotage,” three Iranian officials said, including one member of the IRGC.

“A lot of us think that it is Israel's doing and that war is going to start again,” a resident of the city of Kashan told NYT.

“We are not even in a ceasefire now; we are in a fragile suspension, and any minute it can end, and we are back at war,” said Mahdi Mohammadi, an Iranian politician and senior advisor to the head of Iran's parliament.

One day after the war ended, the director of Israel’s Mossad intelligence agency, David Barnea, vowed to continue operations inside the Islamic Republic.

“We will remain vigilant, keeping a close eye on all the projects in Iran, which we know of, in the deepest way. We will be there as we have been until now,” Barnea said.

Here’s what you need to know:

The Palestine General Federation of Trade Unions (Gaza) Call For International Union Mobilisation

“Our union comrades,
We await your role in delivering the cry of the children and workers of Gaza to decision-makers and to the streets. You are the most worthy of carrying this responsibility—so be our support, move the streets, and stop the arms deals that are killing children, women, and workers.

Mobilize the sympathizers and supporters to break the siege on Gaza, and deliver your free voice to the decision-makers.

There is no excuse for those who abandon Gaza and its people, or who abandon the workers.

Gaza will remain a witness to those who stood with the cry for humanity and the cry for freedom, and it will remain a symbol for the free people of the world.”

Hamas Statement:

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

The fascist occupation government continues to commit the crime of genocide against our people in the Gaza Strip, by implementing all its elements as defined by international laws, including systematic killing, deliberate starvation, and comprehensive destruction of all means of life, in one of the most heinous crimes witnessed in modern times.

In this context, the report by the "israeli" human rights organization "B'Tselem" confirms – with evidence and testimonies – that the zionist occupation is carrying out a full-fledged genocide against Palestinians in Gaza, with the aim of dismantling and exterminating society, and forcibly displacing the population by creating unbearable living conditions.

This documentation represents a new confirmation of the occupation's intentions and behavior, which continues to deceive regarding the entry of aid, which has been proven in reality and by the testimony of international organizations to constitute only a drop in the ocean of humanitarian needs. This indicates that the occupation's goal is to circumvent international pressure and condemnations, while insisting on continuing its brutal starvation policy against our Palestinian people.

We call on the International Court of Justice to activate the prosecution of the criminal occupation in the genocide case filed against it, and to issue a decision that pushes towards stopping the genocide that has been ongoing for nearly twenty-two months. At the same time, we call on the International Criminal Court to prosecute the occupation leaders as war criminals, and to prevent Netanyahu and the pillars of the zionist genocide from escaping punishment.

‘One of bloodiest nights in recent weeks’ in Gaza prompts fears of expanded Israeli operation
Tareq Abu Azzoum
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, Gaza

A night of intense Israeli bombardment has left dozens dead in the central areas of Gaza, in what residents describe as one of the bloodiest nights in recent weeks.

Thirty Palestinians were killed in Nuseirat refugee camp after Israeli forces struck a number of residential houses. Among the victims are 12 children and 14 women, and witnesses say most the of the victims arrived at al-Awda Hospital torn to pieces due to the sheer force of explosions.

Local accounts indicate that Israel used booby-trapped robots, as well as tanks and drones during this attack.

This is a sign of a possible imminent Israeli ground manoeuvre, although Israel has not yet confirmed the objectives of the attack.

But elsewhere in Gaza we also see a relative surge in air attacks, including in the designated “safe zone” of al-Mawasi in southern Gaza, where a father and his three children were killed in an Israeli attack on a makeshift tent.

The scale and coordination of these attacks are prompting further fears and point to a serious escalation that signals that nowhere in Gaza is truly safe.

‘Worst-case scenario of famine’ now unfolding in Gaza: Global hunger monitoring system

The Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a global hunger monitoring system, has warned that the “worst-case scenario of famine” is now unfolding in Gaza.

Israeli forces kill 8 aid seekers near Netzarim

We just reported that 15 Palestinians have been injured by Israeli army gunfire while waiting for aid near the Netzarim Corridor in the central Gaza Strip, according to al-Awda Hospital in Gaza.

The hospital has now issued an update saying more than 38 Palestinians were injured by the Israeli gunfire near the Netzarim Corridor.

Israeli settler kills West Bank activist who worked on Oscar-winning film

An Israeli settler has shot and killed Palestinian activist and teacher Awdah Hathaleen in the village of Umm al-Khair, in Masafer Yatta, in the occupied West Bank, local officials and journalists said.

Hathaleen was well known for his activism, including helping the creators of the Oscar-winning film No Other Land, which documents Israeli settler and soldier attacks on the Palestinian community of Masafer Yatta.

“My dear friend Awdah was slaughtered this evening,” said Basel Adra, the co-director of No Other Land.

“He was standing in front of the community centre in his village when a settler fired a bullet that pierced his chest and took his life,” Adra said.

“This is how Israel erases us – one life at a time.”

Satellite photos show thousands scrambling after food trucks in Gaza

Satellite images verified by the Sanad agency show thousands of displaced Palestinians surrounding about 15 aid trucks that managed to enter southern Gaza.

Large numbers of desperate people extended for more than 2km (1.2 miles) along the same street.

The satellite imagery taken on July 26 shows the Israeli army established a military post along the Morag Corridor road, less than 300 metres (980 feet) from the massive crowd, with Israeli military vehicles stationed between buildings used as cover by soldiers.

Medical sources and journalists later confirmed nine civilians were killed near an aid distribution point in the Qizan al-Najjar area, south of Khan Younis, as a result of Israeli army gunfire.

Netherlands declares two Israeli ministers ‘persona non grata’

The Netherlands has declared two far-right Israeli ministers, Bezalel Smotrich and Itamar Ben-Gvir, persona non grata for inciting settler violence and calling for ethnic cleansing in Gaza, Dutch media AD reports, citing a statement from Foreign Minister Caspar Veldkamp.

The move comes as Dutch authorities are pushing for the EU to take tougher measures against Israel, the report said.

“Agreements with the EU need to be honoured, or measures will have to follow,” said a separate statement published by Veldkamp on X, in reference to the EU-Israel Association Agreement.

The Dutch government has long supported a review of the trade deal, saying Israel is not complying with its article 2, which qualifies “respect for human rights and democratic principles” in “internal and international policy” as an “essential element” of the agreement.

The EU is Israel’s biggest trading partner, and suspending the trade pillar of the agreement would reinstate tariffs on bilateral trade.

Dutch government’s proposed travel bans on Smotrich, Ben-Gvir ‘too little, too late’
Step Vaessen
Reporting from The Hague, the Netherlands

That’s what we’re hearing here this morning from protesters at The Hague. Other people say it is baby steps.

Others question why this is happening now because it comes after continuous rallies, continuous protests here, pressuring the government to take action. One is taking place here by the Foreign Ministry.

It is significant in the sense that the Netherlands has been one of Israel’s strongest allies for a very long time, especially since the war on Gaza.

The Netherlands had been one of the countries that refused to take any measures against Israel. So, this shift has irritated Israel.

The Netherlands has also proposed to suspend the trade part of the EU Association Agreement, which would mean that all the trade advantages Israel has with the EU, its most important trading partner, could be suspended.

Freedom Flotilla says US activist Chris Smalls assaulted in Israeli custody

The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) says US labour activist Chris Smalls has been physically assaulted in Israeli custody.

“Seven uniformed individuals … choked him and kicked him in the legs, leaving visible signs of violence on his neck and back,” the FFC said in a post on social media.

“When his lawyer met with him, Christian was surrounded by six members of Israel’s special police unit. This level of force was not used against other abducted activists,” the group said.

FFC condemned the “discriminatory treatment” towards Smalls and called for accountability.

Smalls, the former president of Amazon Labor Union, was one of the 21 activists and journalists from 10 countries on board the Handala when it was intercepted by Israeli forces in international waters as it approached Gaza.

Smotrich says rebuilding Gush Katif settlement in Gaza now ‘closer than ever’

Greeks protest against arrival of Israeli cruise ship in Crete

People have gathered at the port of Agios Nikolaos in Crete to protest against the arrival of an Israeli cruise ship carrying some 1,500 passengers from Israel, the latest such protest to take place in recent days on a Greek island.

Footage from the scene showed protesters waving Palestinian flags and carrying banners calling for “an end to the genocide”.

Greek media reported that police used tear gas against the demonstrators and carried out a number of detentions as tensions flared up.

Similar pro-Palestinian protests have occurred in recent days on other islands, including Syros and Rhodes.

‘Disgraceful’: Greek protester denounces Israeli tourists over Gaza genocide
Caolán Magee

Paolo Minadakis, one of the demonstrators at the port of Agios Nikolaos in Crete, described tense scenes as activists gathered to protest the arrival of an Israeli cruise ship carrying 1,500 passengers.

“We are in a town of 15,000 people. We were around 200 demonstrators. Police anti-riot squads were sent from Athens with three coast guard vessels and army special forces,” he told Al Jazeera, recounting how authorities cleared the road to allow tourists while using tear gas against protesters.

Minadakis added that some of the tourists brandished Israeli flags and directed foul language towards the protesters.

It was the largest demonstration so far against the weekly arrival of Israeli cruise ships, he said.

“We are protesting against the genocide in Palestine. It’s disgraceful and disturbing having them here to spend their blood money in our island. This is our chance to show these people that their country is committing a genocide. Even in a small town such as ours, they will maybe wonder why are these people protesting.”

Similar demonstrations have taken place in recent days on other Greek islands, including Syros and Rhodes, as anger at Israel grows internationally.

Hunger-related Gaza death toll rises to 154: Ministry

Gaza hospitals have recorded seven new deaths “due to famine and malnutrition”, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

The total number of people who have starved to death during Israel’s war on Gaza has risen to 154, including 89 children, the ministry’s statement said on Telegram.

‘Torture and abuse’: Hamas slams treatment of Palestinians in Israeli jails

Hamas has highlighted the situation of Palestinian prisoners held in Israeli jails who it said experience “torture and abuse” by Israeli authorities.

In a statement, the group accused Israel of using “medical negligence as a means of slowly killing prisoners”.

“The inhumane conditions our brave prisoners are facing constitute clear violations of all international conventions and laws. The countries of the world, both officially and popularly, must raise their voices against the occupation and deter it from its crimes and terrorism,” Hamas said.

The group called on Palestinians in the occupied territories to support those held in Israeli prisons.

According to the Commission for Prisoners’ Affairs and the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society, the number of detainees in Israeli prisons now exceeds 10,800.

Among the prisoners are 48 women, more than 440 children, and about 2,450 people classified as “illegal combatants”, it said.

Palestinian prisoner dies in Israeli custody: Monitor

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Media Office (ASRA) says a Palestinian prisoner, Sayel Abu Nasr, has died in an Israeli jail.

The ASRA statement said his death brings the total number of prisoners and detainees who have been died in Israeli custody since the beginning of Israel’s war on Gaza to 75, including 46 from the Gaza Strip.

Euro-Med Monitor warns of ‘unprecedented surge’ of deaths among Gaza’s elderly

The Euro-Med Human Rights Monitor says its field team “has documented the deaths of dozens of elderly people in displacement camps due to starvation, malnutrition, or lack of treatment”.

“Many of these deaths were recorded as natural causes, owing to the absence of a clear reporting mechanism within the ministry and the tendency of families to bury their loved ones immediately,” it said on X.

It noted an “unprecedented surge” in daily deaths over the past two weeks, with hundreds of elderly people arriving each day at hospitals and primary care centres “in states of extreme exhaustion, seeking nutritional fluids”.

Hezbollah says calls to disarm serve ‘Israeli project’

Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem has said in a televised address that those demanding the group disarm are “serving the Israeli project”.

Marking the first anniversary of Israel’s killing of senior commander Fuad Shukr, Qassem accused “anyone calling today for the surrender of weapons, whether internally or externally, on the Arab or the international stage” of supporting Israel.

The Hezbollah leader accused US envoy Tom Barrack of using “intimidation and threats” with the aim of “aiding Israel”.

Qassem’s comments dealt a potential blow to Barrack’s efforts last month to secure a deal between Lebanon and Israel that would involve disarmament of the Lebanese armed group.

Israel must face consequences for betraying ‘fundamental values’: Ex-Knesset speaker

The international community must implement “severe, personal and maybe even governmental measures” that will make it clear that killing and starving Palestinians the way Israel is in Gaza cannot happen, Avraham Burg, the former speaker of the Knesset and former head of the Jewish Agency for Israel, has told Al Jazeera.

He is one of dozens of high-profile Israelis who signed a petition calling for sanctions on Israel to stop the starvation of Palestinians in Gaza and stop Israel’s plans to expel them from their homeland.

Burg said he has reached a “collision between two value systems; the first is my loyalty to place, my patriotism, and on the other hand, it is our patriotism to humanity [in] general, at times when my country betrays its fundamental values and divorces from the very basic humanitarian, ethical system, one has to take a position”.

“In times in which our country is that wrong, we have to help to stop it from continuing … and every measure is legitimate; internal opposition, demonstrations, rallies, vigils, hunger strike and invitation to cooperate with the international community,” he said.

Palestine Action’s cofounder wins bid to challenge UK ‘terror’ group ban

The cofounder of a pro-Palestinian campaign group has won her bid to legally challenge the British government’s decision to ban it under “antiterrorism” laws.

Huda Ammori, who helped found Palestine Action in 2020, asked London’s High Court to give the go-ahead for a full challenge to the group’s proscription, which was made on the grounds it committed or participated in acts of “terrorism”.

This month, the High Court refused Ammori’s application to pause the ban, and after an unsuccessful last-ditch appeal, Palestine Action’s proscription came into effect on July 5.

Proscription makes it a crime to be a member of the group, which carries a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.

Judge Martin Chamberlain granted permission for Ammori to bring a judicial review, saying her case amounted to a disproportionate interference with her and others’ right to freedom of expression and was “reasonably arguable”.

US Senate rejects bills to block arms sales to Israel over Gaza

US Senate lawmakers have failed to pass two resolutions that would have blocked arms sales to Israel in response to civilian casualties in Gaza and the ongoing starvation of the territory’s population.

Vermont independent Senator Bernie Sanders introduced the bills, which failed to pass by 73 to 24 and 70 to 27 in the 100-member chamber in voting late on Wednesday.

All votes in favour of Wednesday’s resolutions came from Democrats, with all of President Donald Trump’s fellow Republicans opposed.

Despite the loss, Sanders said he was pleased the majority of Democrats backed the effort this time around.

“The tide is turning. The American people do not want to spend billions to starve children in Gaza,” Sanders said.

“The Democrats are moving forward on this issue, and I look forward to Republican support in the near future,” he added.

Dramatic drop in US public’s approval of Israel’s war on Gaza: New poll
Ali Harb
Reporting from Washington DC, US

A new poll from the research firm Gallup suggests that only 32 percent of Americans approve of Israel’s military action in Gaza, a 10-point drop from September 2024, as anger over atrocities against Palestinians continues to rise.

The survey, released on Tuesday, also showed an enormous partisan divide over the issue.

Seventy-one percent of respondents who identified as members of the Republican Party said they approve of Israel’s conduct, compared with 8 percent of Democrats.

Overall, 60 percent of respondents said they disapprove of Israel’s military action in Gaza.

"Two-state solution" document endorsed by France, Europeans, Saudi Arabia, Jordan, Qatar and Arab League, circulated at UN and revealed by @TimesofIsrael calls for dissolving @UNRWA without implementing the right of return for Palestinian refugees. I'll explain:

(1) The document talks about the "achievement of a just solution to the Palestinian refugee issue," without mentioning, or reaffirming the right of return. This is long-established "peace process" code for abrogating the right of return, resettling Palestinian refugees outside Palestine so that Jewish demographic supremacy is not threatened, and at best monetary compensation.

(2) It talks about UNRWA "handing over" its duties NOT to the government of an independent Palestinian state, but to "prepared and empowered Palestinian institutions" in the "Palestinian territory." In other words, all this takes place prior to the supposed independence of a supposed Palestinian state. It is a formula for dismantling any international institutions and frameworks that protect Palestinian rights.

(3) There is much more in this document revealing its anti-Palestinian hostility, including demanding disarmament of the resistance and handing over its weapons, under occupation, to the Palestinian Authority, and endorsing a "demilitarized" Palestinian state, while the occupier that is perpetrating a holocaust retains all its capacity for genocide.

Here's the Times of Israel report, which contains a link to the document: https://timesofisrael.com/in-1st-entire-arab-league-condemns-oct-7-urges-hamas-to-disarm-at-2-state-solution-confab/

Gaza Humanitarian Foundation partner endorsed Hitler, called Muslims ‘rapists’ and Palestine a ‘shit hole’
Matthew Murphy, a former Green Beret and president of Sentinel Foundation, has recently praised Hitler on Instagram and claimed to be conducting ‘manhunting’ for an unnamed African prime minister.
His foundation is closely partnered with the notorious Gaza Humanitarian Foundation “aid” operation.

“I do exorcisms now, all day, pretty much,” stated Dr. Michael Cocchini, the author of the book “The War Within,” during a gathering of ‘Christian warriors’ at the late country music star Kenny Rogers’s Copperline Ranch in Nashville on December 11. “I kind of gave up medicine; I felt it was the remnant of Babylonian witchcraft,” explained the medical doctor, further stating that “we see people get healed from schizophrenia … a one hour exorcism and they’ll never hear voices again.”

Organized by Stephen Prouse of the Pennsylvania-based “spiritual warfare” ministry The Fourth Watch and its partner Fifth Horseman Ministries, the male-only gathering of primarily U.S. military veterans was promoted on Instagram by the former 5th Special Forces Group soldier and self-described Battle of Conoco Fields participant and CIA detailee Matthew Murphy as “possibly the most shadowbanned group of men.”

Former Navy SEAL Team 5 member Neil Dyer told the group of his time “destroying Christians” in his platoon for not being masculine enough, stating that “I would make them drink and I would tell them ‘You are not man enough to go do the work that we need to do down range. Who do you think you are? Do you think you have a god that’s tough and will make you go kick down doors and canoe faces?” (As documented by investigative journalist Matthew Cole, SEALs refer to the practice of splitting open the skull of a target by firing a bullet at close range as “canoeing.”)

Both Sentinel Foundation — formerly the Child Exploitation Prevention Foundation — and the private military contractor UG Solutions were co-founded in North Carolina by the former 7th Special Forces Group member Jameson Govoni. UG Solutions provides the boots on the ground for a bilateral U.S.-Israeli civil affairs operation in Gaza against Hamas, known as the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), which expanded into aid distribution across four sites in the region following UG and its partner, Safe Reach Solutions (SRS), opening a vehicle inspection checkpoint along Gaza’s Netzarim corridor in January.

Safe Reach Solutions is led by former CIA special activities chief Philip F. Reilly and, along with UG Solutions, partnered with Sentinel in March to pass out water bottles and fruits in Gaza.

Despite the gesture from the trio of organizations, the United Nations human rights office reported at least 674 killings of Gazans outside of GHF distribution sites, as of July 13, and reports indicated deaths from the Israeli military lethally shelling Palestinians seeking aid at a GHF site northwest of Rafah on the morning of July 14. Despite the State Department announcing a $30 million payment to retroactively fund GHF’s June operations, the payment has yet to publicly proceed, and members of the U.S. Congress continue to question the support.

(Even though GHF is heavily associated with Christian evangelicals, its private military contractor, UG Solutions, hired a crisis communications firm led by several former Obama and Biden staffers, Seven Letter. The primary spokesperson, Andrew O’Brien, is a former special representative under Secretary of State John Kerry.)

The Sentinel Foundation’s overlap with both the U.S. special operations community and “spiritual warfare” concepts — a centering of an alleged real-world battle between Christians and demons, with the solution frequently being exorcisms — is far from unique. The author of this publication previously reported on the spiritual warfare practices of the retired marine and “high-risk missionary” Victor Marx, whose All Things Possible Ministries was the original home of the special operations-themed counter-trafficking nonprofit Skull Games, led by the evangelical retired Delta Force Lt. Col. Jeff Tiegs. (“I hunt pedophiles, but I also hunt demons,” declared Marx in a 2023 podcast interview.)

The Chicago-based private equity firm McNally Capital has confirmed an “economic interest” in Safe Reach Solutions and to helping form the company in late 2024; McNally further recently became the owner of the company which co-launched Skull Games. The first Skull Games “hunt” in Tampa took place in December 2021 in the office of Echo Analytics Group, whose founder and former Defense Intelligence Agency officer Buddy Jericho subsequently joined the nonprofit’s board, months after the analytics firm was acquired by the intelligence contractor Quiet Professionals, under the leadership of retired Delta Force Sgt. Maj. Andy Wilson. QP was subsequently acquired by McNally Capital earlier this year and has helped support an evacuation mission out of Israel, named Operation Olive Shield.

In the months prior to the November 2024 legal formation of SRS and the GHF, Mr. Govoni and his Sentinel co-founder, former Delta Force intel officer Glenn W. Devitt Jr., stepped down from their leadership roles with the nonprofit, with Mr. Murphy remaining as president. Murphy and Devitt had met through a mutual funder, the evangelical Christian former Broncos quarterback Tim Tebow, as part of a mission to extract interpreters from Afghanistan. “I flew down and that’s when I first met the Sentinel guys, Glenn and the whole team. You had one of the guys who founded Delta Force in the room, Senators in there, and then a bunch of Delta operators,” Murphy told the former mixed martial arts fighter Ed Clay during a January 2024 podcast interview.

Murphy was then running his own Tennessee-based counter-trafficking nonprofit, Operation Light Shine (OLS) — much of it while still active duty, according to his own telling and LinkedIn profile — whose INTERCEPT Task Forces faced opposition from the Tennessee Bureau of Investigation (TBI), including in response to Murphy publishing a photo of a bullet on Facebook captioned with the message “The Cure for Pedophilia.” Murphy characterized a TBI officer’s thinking as, “‘[Murphy is] another one of these special operations a-holes that’s going to get us all in trouble and do vigilante stuff.’”

Murphy emphasized his need to publicly separate from Tebow in his interview with Mr. Clay, stating that, “it wasn’t that Tim and I parted ways, so to speak, I just wanted to do things in a way where who I am as a man and what I believe and what I stand for did not negatively drag Tim into something.”

In response to a question from Clay regarding Israel’s mass killings of Gazan civilians — with estimates of more than 28,000 killed women and children — Murphy responded that “These idiots that are speaking out against it, they don’t understand how war works,” adding that, “Palestine is not a real state” and is full of “nomads and unwanted people from Western Asia and other Arab nations that all came together and started saying they are Palestinians, in the old area of Palestine, which is part of Israel.”

“Killing and beheading and raping and treating, you know, Christian and Jewish women as lesser-than and slaves is not just something terrorists think, it’s Islam,” Murphy argued.

“Palestine is a little shit hole with no exports, no oil, nothing,” stated Murphy later in the interview, in the context of apparent foreign funding for the Palestinian resistance. “You have these wealthy companies feeding money, feeding weapons, ammunition, and then feeding hate, and accomplishing half the goals of the Quran, through the poor people who just get radicalized, ‘Mohammed Jihad,’ kind of like Team America.”

Murphy further advertised Sentinel’s extraction of 65 Americans from Gaza with help from U.S. Senators Markwayne Mullin (R-OK) and Lindsey Graham (R-SC), which was first reported by the French outlet Intelligence Online.

Toward the end of the interview, Mr. Murphy told the former MMA fighter that “I’m seeing a lot of similarities between what happened to the Jews in Nazi Germany starting to happen to white people in the Western world.”

During a video interview recorded on the same day as President Trump’s inauguration earlier this year, Murphy predicted that Trump would declassify the existence of aliens — “people that aren’t human” — as well as the “truth about who has been destroying the world.” In a clear allusion to Israel, Murphy added that, “There is a reason that Trump, the first time, did not release the JFK files, on who shot JFK.” “What people don’t really get is, the love of money is the root of all evil,” Murphy further stated, suggesting that listeners look up Ian Carroll, the online influencer behind the website CancelThisClothingCompany.com.

Murphy has also repeatedly publicly posted on Instagram with praise of Adolf Hitler, who led the German Nazi Party through its genocide of roughly six million Jews, including as a “devout Christian and Catholic” who rose to power from “the destruction of the German economy by communist Jews with usury.” “The no debt system Hitler built allowed society and the human mind to prosper,” Murphy posted to Instagram on June 27, adding that, “now just imagine if Trump could do what he said he would do and remove us from the systems of debt and control like the Federal Reserve and IRS. I’m rooting for Trump.”

Founded by former Delta Force intel officer Glenn Devitt in 2017, along with his “work wife” and former 7th Special Forces Group member Jameson Govoni, Sentinel Foundation was a reaction to what Mr. Devitt has described as amateur behavior at Operation Underground Railroad (OUR), the controversial nonprofit behind the 2023 film “Sound of Freedom” which was previously led by former Homeland Security Investigations (HSI) special agent Tim Ballard. (Devitt and Govoni also founded the boozing-prophylactic company Alcohol Armor, with Devitt stating in a now-deleted promotional video that, as a result of heavy drinking from undercover operations “rescuing children around the world, we had to really pre-emptive strike the hangover.”)

Sentinel Foundation’s most prominent public endorsement has come from the British Broadcasting Corporation (BBC), which in 2018 credited Devitt as an investigative consultant, and named Sentinel Foundation as a partner, on an undercover operation to expose foreigners trafficking children from a Rohingya refugee camp. According to Devitt’s public telling, the BBC story was a collaboration with a DARPA dark web program — apparently Memex — which provided information on the “rat line” used for the trafficking to the BBC. (BBC did not respond to a request for comment.)

As recounted in numerous podcast interviews, Mr. Devitt transitioned out of U.S. special operations more than a decade ago as a result of a back injury, receiving computer forensics training from HSI’s Human Exploitation Rescue Operation (HERO) Corps. (Both Mr. Devitt and Mr. Murphy have closely worked with former HSI supervisory special agent Jim Cole.)

Mr. Devitt subsequently formed a business to train government agencies in “cyber enabled operations,” Delitor, Inc., receiving just over $40,000 in contracts spread across DHS, the Navy, and the Justice Department between 2016 and 2018.

Matt Murphy has been quietly setting up his own for-profit special operations contractor, TruNorth, for at least the past three years, including in partnership with the “ethical hacker” Ryan Montgomery, whom Sentinel Foundation recently announced as its new CTO. Murphy stated that his first landmark “manhunting” contract came shortly after he considered filing chapter 11 bankruptcy for TruNorth “this past June.”

“Two days later I get a call that we won the contract for an entire country of an African nation, and now we’ve got a whole team over there. I can’t say the country because of certain things, but we’re doing manhunting and strategic intelligence at the prime minister and MoD [Ministry of Defense] level,” stated Murphy. “It was just like a windfall of contracts after that, all over the Middle East, all over Africa, and now all of South America,” Murphy boasted.

Murphy further noted that he lives in a house in the unnamed African country, within a “secured compound,” alongside a roughly one-year-old lion named Doug, and that one of his neighbors “a couple houses down” lets their own lion run free.

According to Sentinel’s SITREP, Uganda is the only African country the nonprofit has been recently active in, with an operation including “targeting a violent offender involved in family abuse, coordinated with local authorities and partner organizations.”

BREAKING

In a joint statement, Hamas, Islamic Jihad, the Popular and Democratic Fronts, the General Command, and the Saiqa Forces declared:

•The path to a solution begins with halting the aggression against our people, ending the crime of genocide, and stopping the systematic starvation policy.

•The Palestinian resistance affirms its readiness to resolve the issue of the prisoners it holds within the framework of a ceasefire agreement, full withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, the opening of crossings, and the immediate launch of reconstruction.

•We stress the need to move toward a serious political process, under international and Arab sponsorship, that leads to ending the occupation and fulfilling our people’s aspirations for establishing a fully sovereign, independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Qassam Brigades reports more attacks on Israeli troops in Gaza

We reported earlier that the armed wing of Hamas said it attacked a group of Israeli soldiers and vehicles with mortar shells in Khan Younis.

The Qassam Brigades now reports several more attacks, most of which took place in northern Gaza.

It said its fighters launched rocket-propelled grenades at a military vehicle in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City. In a separate attack, the group sniped an Israeli soldier atop a Merkava tank before launching mortar shells at the area near the al-Arqam School east of Tuffah.

Two more soldiers were targeted with sniper rifles in the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City, while another mortar attack was reported in the Morag area of Khan Younis in the south, it added.

Death toll from starvation rises to 159

Local hospitals say that at least two more Palestinians were reported to have died from Israel’s forced starvation in the last 24 hours.

That brings the total number of hunger-related fatalities since Israel’s war began to 159.

As we reported earlier, infants have been particularly vulnerable, with shortages of infant formula leaving new mothers with few options.

Of those who died from starvation, at least 90 were children. UN officials have repeatedly called on Israel to allow an uninterrupted flow of aid supplies.

Gaza media office reports widespread aid truck looting

The office reports that 104 aid trucks entered Gaza today, saying the “majority” were subjected to looting.

It further accused Israel of “deliberately perpetuating” security chaos, adding it affirmed the UN’s position that 600 trucks are needed a day to adequately provide for the population.

Earlier today, we reported that a UN spokesperson said that aid trucks had been restricted to only one crossing into Gaza and were subject to “ad hoc” security checks by the Israeli military.

He said this has led to delays and increased dangers for both those making the deliveries and those seeking aid.

Journalists in Gaza have reported that Israeli operations have led to a breakdown in central governance, which has empowered criminal gangs.

Israel launches air strikes across southern, eastern Lebanon

The Israeli military has launched a series of air strikes on areas across Lebanon, but has not commented on the attacks yet.

Lebanon’s National News Agency reported at least five air raids on towns in the Bekaa Valley and a mountainous region in Baalbek in the eastern and northeastern parts of the country.

It also said more attacks targeted the Ghazieh area of south Lebanon, leading to a fire at a warehouse.

Smoke rises after Israeli air attacks hit Lebanon

Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reports that the number of Israeli air attacks on the mountain ranges in eastern Lebanon’s Baalbek reached at least seven.

The Israeli raids targeted the outskirts of Brital town and Nasiriyah town in Tallet al-Sunduq area in Bekaa Valley, as well as the vicinity of Jarmak area in Jezzine, and the areas of Mahmoudiya and Khardali.

The footage below, which has been verified by Al Jazeera, shows large plumes of smoke rising after the attacks.

Houthi leader promises wider attacks on companies linked with Israel

Houthi leader Abdel-Malik al-Houthi has emphasised his commitment to a “fourth phase” of attacks to oppose the war on Gaza announced earlier this week, which will include targeting the ships of any company that has dealings with the Israeli army or transports goods to Israel.

The Houthi armed forces “are capable of reaching them”, he said during a televised speech that lasted about 100 minutes, adding that widening the scale of attacks was “a necessary step” in response to the Israeli-imposed famine in Gaza.

“We direct a warning to anyone who dares to stand with the Israeli enemy, using all tools of betrayal, treachery and criminality,” al-Houthi said.

He renewed his denunciation of Arab countries in the region for not standing up to Israel and the US, and said any Arab state that continues to have economic relations and trade with Israel must follow the example of Colombia, which banned coal exports to Israel this week.

The Houthi leader described military operations against Israel as “ongoing” and said the group launched 10 missiles and drones this week, targeting Ben Gurion International Airport among other places.

Israeli media reports diplomats evacuating from UAE

The Kann public broadcaster has reported that the Israeli representatives in the country have been ordered to evacuate their delegation.

The move comes after Israel’s National Security Council reiterated a travel warning for the Gulf country, citing “our understanding that terrorist organisations (the Iranians, Hamas, Hezbollah and Global Jihad) are increasing their efforts to harm Israel”.

The UAE and Israel agreed to normalise ties in 2020, which saw the first direct commercial flights between the pair in decades.

Islamic Jihad releases video of Israeli captive held in Gaza

The Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) has released a six-minute video showing Israeli soldier Rom Braslavski in captivity.

The video shows Braslavski being displayed footage of starving children in Gaza among other things. The armed group did not disclose any information, only saying that this was the last message from him before PIJ lost contact with the operatives holding him.

PIJ had, on July 22 claimed, that it lost contact with operatives holding Braslavski, with the announcement coming shortly after the Israeli army launched a ground invasion of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza for the first time.

Israeli soldiers had not previously launched a ground assault there due to concerns of harming living captives held in the area. Approximately 20 of the 50 captives held in Gaza are believed to be alive.

After the video was released, Braslavski’s family said in a statement that he has been “forgotten” and is not receiving food or medicine.

Rights group hails ‘historic’ US Senate vote to block arms sales to Israel

The Council on American-Islamic Relations has hailed a US Senate vote on blocking arms sales to Israel.

The vote on the legislation, which has been regularly introduced by Senator Bernie Sanders throughout the war in Gaza, failed to pass in the 100-member chamber on Wednesday.

Still, it accrued more votes than ever before, with 27 out of the 47 Democrats in the chamber voting in favour, in a sign of mounting outrage.

“Although last night’s Senate vote should have been 100–0 in favor of these resolutions, the fact that a majority of Senate Democrats voted yes is a historic moment and a sign that sentiments in Congress are gradually catching up to the American people, most of whom now oppose the Israeli government’s genocide in Gaza and support restricting military aid to Israel,” the group said.

Slovenia bans arms trade with Israel

The government of Slovenia says it has become the first European Union country to officially prohibit the export and transit of military weapons and equipment from or through its territory to Israel, or arms imports from Israel.

The Central European nation’s government said in a statement that the EU is unable to adopt “concrete measures” to stop the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza as a result of “internal disagreements and disunity”.

“People in Gaza are dying because humanitarian aid is systematically denied them,” it said, adding that “it is the duty of every responsible state to act, even if this means taking a step ahead of others”.

The government of Prime Minister Robert Golob said it “consistently and principledly advocates respect for international law and the protection of human rights” and will therefore take more measures against the Israeli government in the coming weeks without elaborating.

Hamas says ending war ‘humanitarian and moral duty’

Hamas has released a statement following a UN conference in New York addressing the Israel-Palestine issue, after which attendees voiced “unwavering support” for a two-state solution.

Hamas said that “any effort made at the international level to support our Palestinian people and their legitimate rights is appreciated and welcomed”.

However, it noted that no progress could be made until Israel ended its war in Gaza, which would mean “halting the crime of genocide and the systematic starvation policy practiced by the occupation forces”.

Hamas added that it was ready to resolve the war – and release remaining Israeli captives – via a ceasefire agreement that saw a “complete withdrawal of occupation forces from the Gaza Strip, the opening of crossings, and the immediate commencement of reconstruction”.

The group underscored the need to move towards a political process “leading to the end of the occupation and achieving our people’s aspirations to establish their fully sovereign independent state, with Jerusalem as its capital”.

Hamas: Ready to negotiate once aid reaches Gaza’s starving

The Palestinian group says in a statement released via its Telegram channel that it is ready to “immediately” engage in negotiations to end the war in Gaza “once aid reaches those who deserve it and the humanitarian crisis and famine in Gaza are ended”.

“Continuing negotiations in the shadow of starvation lose their substance and usefulness, especially after the criminal Zionist occupation withdrew from the negotiations last week without justification, at a time when we were on the verge of reaching an agreement”, the statement reads.

Israel indeed walked away from negotiations last week after Hamas submitted what it said was a “positive” and “constructive” response to the latest proposal for a ceasefire it was handed.

‘We need help’: Family pleads for release of US teenager held by Israel
Ali Harb

Israeli authorities have been detaining an American teenager for nearly six months without trial for allegedly throwing rocks at Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, a claim the 16-year-old’s family denies while expressing concern for his deteriorating health.

Mohammed Ibrahim, a Palestinian-American who was born in the US state of Florida, has been completely cut off from his family since his arrest in February without visitation or telephone rights, his father and uncle said.

According to an Israeli military interrogation video obtained by the family and seen by Al Jazeera on Wednesday, Mohammed denied accusations that he was throwing rocks at Israeli vehicles near his village north of Ramallah.

Zaher Ibrahim, the jailed teenager’s father, said on Wednesday that the family has received reports that Mohammed is losing weight drastically and suffering from a skin infection. Ibrahim said he is concerned about his son’s wellbeing.

Fourteen arrested at anti-war protest in Haifa: Police

German FM meets Netanyahu amid war of words over Palestinian statehood

German Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul has met Benjamin Netanyahu in Jerusalem, according to the office of the Israeli prime minister, which did not provide details of the meeting.

Wadephul told reporters moments ago that Israel is in danger of becoming isolated. Countries around the world have been increasingly speaking out against Israel as it continues to manufacture famine in the Gaza Strip, carries out daily bombing raids that kill civilians and supports extremist settlers in the occupied West Bank.

“Israel must always find friends, partners and supporters in the international community. And that is currently in danger in this situation. And if there is one country that has a responsibility to prevent this, then in my view it is Germany,” Wadephul said.

Wadephul met Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar earlier, shortly after Germany said recognition of a Palestinian state should come at the end of talks on a two-state solution.

The stance angered far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir, who wrote on X that “80 years after the Holocaust, and Germany is returning to support Nazism”.

Witkoff, Huckabee to travel to Gaza Friday: White House

The US envoy and the US ambassador to Israel are set to travel to Gaza on Friday, according to White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt.

Steve Witkoff and Mike Huckabee will inspect the current food distribution sites and work on a plan to deliver more food, Leavitt said.

She added they would meet with local Gazans to “hear firsthand about this dire situation on the ground”.

More details of the visit, and how it would be coordinated, were not immediately available.

Brown University reaches settlement deal after ‘anti-Semitism’ row

It will also commit to supporting its local Jewish community and restricting its acknowledgement of transgender students.

Body recovered from home near Gaza Catholic church

Gaza’s Civil Defence says one of its teams, after coordination with Israeli forces, was able to recover a body from a family home that had been targeted by Israeli forces and was located near the Holy Family Church in Gaza City.

In a statement, it said there are “still missing people under the rubble of the house, and it is difficult to reach and recover their bodies”.

Israeli forces bombed Gaza’s only Catholic church on July 17, killing at least three people, including the parish’s 60-year-old janitor and an 84-year-old woman who was receiving psychosocial support inside a Caritas tent in the church compound.

What is the Kfir Brigade?
As we recently reported, the Israeli army has announced that more soldiers in its Kfir Brigade have been working to “solidify control” of the so-called Magen Oz Corridor in southern Gaza.

Here is a bit more information about the Israeli brigade:

The brigade, formed in 2005, is the youngest and largest of the Israeli military’s five infantry brigades.
It operates under the Israeli military’s Central Command and comprises five battalions stationed in the occupied West Bank.
The brigade has a presence in most Palestinian cities in the occupied West Bank, and had been in the Gaza Strip before the Israeli withdrawal from the Palestinian enclave in 2005.
The Kfir Brigade has been fighting in the Gaza Strip since Israel’s war on Gaza began, and it played a key role in Israel’s siege of the Gaza Strip’s north in late 2024.
In January, the brigade was withdrawn from northern Gaza after three months of being stationed there.
It has most recently been operating around the city of Khan Younis in the south of the besieged enclave.

US imposes sanctions on Palestinian Authority officials, PLO members

The US is imposing sanctions on Palestinian Authority (PA) officials and members of the Palestine Liberation Organization (PLO), saying the groups are undermining peace efforts, the US State Department has said in a statement.

The move prevents those targeted from receiving visas to travel to the US, it said.

“It is in our national security interests to impose consequences and hold the PLO and PA accountable for not complying with their commitments and undermining the prospects for peace.”

The move comes after Washington closed the Office of Palestinian Affairs in March, in what critics said was an attempt to sideline Palestinian officials’ ability to engage with the US. It also comes after the US cut funds to the PA’s security forces in February.

Sweden calls on EU to suspend trade pact with Israel: PM

Ulf Kristersson, the prime minister of Sweden, has called on the European Union to suspend the trade section of its association agreement with Israel over its conduct of the war in Gaza.

“The situation in Gaza is absolutely appalling, and Israel is failing to fulfil its most basic obligations and agreements on emergency aid,” he said on X.

“Sweden therefore demands that the EU freeze the trade section of the association agreement as soon as possible,” Kristersson added while also calling on the Israeli government to allow “unhindered humanitarian aid into Gaza”.

False Israeli accusations against Al Jazeera journalist put his life in danger: UN official
Irene Khan, UN special rapporteur on freedom of expression, says her organisation was “deeply concerned” by the Israeli army’s threats against Anas al-Sharif, the last Al Jazeera journalist in the northern Gaza Strip.

She spoke to our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic and made the following points:

The Israeli army accuses al-Sharif and other journalists, without any evidence, of being “terrorists”.
We call on the world to prevent Israel from targeting al-Sharif and other journalists in Gaza.
The Israeli army is falsely labelling journalists as “terrorists” to justify their killing.
Israel refuses to allow any international journalist into Gaza and smears the reputation of local journalists.
The killing and detention of Palestinian journalists is an Israeli strategy to suppress the truth.
We call for the protection of brave journalists in Gaza, as their reports of genocide can move the world.

No news on Gaza doctor, official 10 days after ‘enforced disappearance’: Ministry

The Gaza Health Ministry says 10 days have passed since the Israeli “kidnapping” of Marwan al-Hams, a doctor and the director of field hospitals in the enclave.

According to the ministry, there is no information about his health status and conditions of detention.

Palestinian authorities say al-Hams was taken by an Israeli undercover unit last week outside the field hospital of the International Committee of the Red Cross in the southern city of Rafah.

Israel “is practicing enforced disappearance against imprisoned medical personnel”, the ministry said in a statement. At least 361 medical personnel remain imprisoned in Israeli jails, it added.

People forced to climb, fight on top of aid trucks in Gaza in desperation
Hani Mahmoud
Reporting from Gaza City, Gaza

There is a very high level of hunger and desperation in Gaza. What we are witnessing on a daily basis is heartbreaking.

As soon as aid trucks appear, when the small number of them are allowed by the Israeli military to enter, a crowd of desperate people swarm to them, climb on them, trying to grab even a small portion of food.

They are sometimes even fighting between each other, because if they don’t grab food, they and their children are not going to eat for that day.

There is no organised distribution in the majority of the areas. There is also no protection for those who receive or deliver aid.

We see children fainting while seeking aid because of the heat, and families walking long distances with no guarantee they are going to get food or water.

It shows the total collapse of humanitarian access for these people. It shows also the consequences of enforced starvation and dehydration.

Israeli army claims 98th Division completed activities in northern Gaza

The Israeli army says its 98th Division ended its activities in the northern Gaza Strip and is now preparing for additional tasks.

As part of its operation in the north, Israeli troops operated in Gaza City’s Shujayea and Zeitoun neighbourhoods above and below the ground, it said.

The military claimed to have destroyed more than 1,500 “terrorist infrastructures” and killed dozens of armed groups’ fighters.

Hamas marks first anniversary of Haniyeh’s killing

The Palestinian group says “a treacherous and cowardly Zionist crime” that saw Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh killed in the Iranian capital of Tehran on July 31 last year “has only increased” the resistance of the Palestinian people against the Israeli occupation.

“It is a matter of loyalty to the martyr leader Ismail Haniyeh that we continue to affirm his call to our people, our nation, and free people around the world, to make the third of August of each year a global national day to support Gaza, Jerusalem, Al-Aqsa, and the prisoners, and to continue the movement until the war of extermination and starvation against our people in the Gaza Strip stops, until the occupation is expelled from all our land, and until our people achieve their freedom,” the long statement published on Telegram said.

– “[Georges Abdallah] is an integral part of the diverse Resistance path uniting forces, parties, and sects.”

– “Welcome, Georges. You will have a shining place in Lebanon.”

– “We cannot be asked to choose between Resistance and state-building. Resistance is against ‘Israel’, while building the state is for the people.”

– “The ceasefire agreement in Lebanon involved gains for both us and the Israelis—this is normal in any deal.”

– “We helped the state implement the agreement, which applies exclusively south of the Litani River. Anyone linking the ceasefire to disarming us must know that this is an internal matter.”

– “[US envoy Thomas] Barrack arrived with threats—talking about annexing Lebanon to Syria and expanding aggression—but was met with a unified national stance from the three Lebanese presidents demanding an end to the assault before any talks.”

– “The presidents want to rebuild the country, and so they cannot agree to surrender Lebanon’s source of strength.”

– “The [ceasefire] agreement brought security to northern settlements—but has it brought security to Lebanon?”

– “In Lebanon, we now face an existential threat from ‘Israel’, Daesh, and America under the banner of the ‘New Middle East’.”

– “Don’t ask us to normalize or recognize Israel.”

– “Every call to surrender arms is a call to surrender Lebanon’s strength.”

– “Weapons are not more important than reconstruction and ending aggression.”

– “Anyone—internally, externally, or from the Arab world—demanding disarmament today is serving the Israeli agenda.”

As Witkoff visited Gaza, a 12-year-old boy was killed seeking aid

US Special Envoy to the Middle East Steve Witkoff visited one of the food distribution sites run by the controversial Israeli and US-backed GHF near Rafah in southern Gaza on Friday.

But on the day his carefully curated visit took place, medical sources say that elsewhere in Gaza, Israeli forces killed at least 36 Palestinians seeking aid – including a 12-year-old boy, who was reportedly shot dead while he tried to find food for his family.

“We were hopeful about Witkoff’s visit. We were saying, ‘Thank God, maybe he’ll help, maybe he’ll push for a ceasefire,’” Gaza resident Mahmoud Awad told Al Jazeera.

“But instead, the gunfire increased, and there was even more insistence on killing as many young men and children as possible.

“We were hoping for a ceasefire, but instead a child died. Why did the child die?”

Hamas releases video of Israeli captive held in Gaza

The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, has released a short video showing Israeli captive Evyatar David, who was taken from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023.

The footage shows a gaunt David in a small tunnel, mixed with images of starving Palestinian children in Gaza.

“They eat what we eat, they drink what we drink,” Hamas says, adding that “the occupation government has decided to starve them” after rejecting a ceasefire agreement.

This comes a day after the Palestinian Islamic Jihad released a video of Israeli soldier Rom Braslavski, saying the armed group has lost contact with the team holding him in the aftermath of Israel’s ground invasion of Deir el-Balah in central Gaza.

Israeli soldiers use silencers while shooting Gaza aid seekers

For the first time, Israeli soldiers today used silenced weapons to shoot at starving Palestinians seeking aid in Gaza.

Anas al-Sharif, the Al Jazeera Arabic correspondent in northern Gaza, reported that he spoke to multiple witnesses who confirmed the use of silencers in the Sudanese area near Beit Lahiya, deployed by the Israeli army when targeting people around an aid site.

He said this means the Israeli soldiers were trying to inflict casualties without drawing too much attention to themselves.

The development comes as US envoy Steve Witkoff and ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee visited Gaza for several hours today to see how food distribution works at a site run by the internationally criticised GHF.

2. A future Israeli escalation is likely coming soon in Laith's view, and he suggests that this will probably employ an attack on the north of Lebanon by Jolani.

3. Laith talks about Syrian intervention against the Israeli occupation in the 1980s, in which the Syrian army, with tanks and airforce, beat the IDF. He contrasts this with the Syrian situation today.

Iran Publishes Target Map of Israeli Pilot Residences

In a clear escalation of deterrence signaling, Iran has publicly identified the names and residential coordinates of an Israeli Air Force pilot and copilot involved in bombing civilian zones during the recent 12-day war.

Satellite imagery was released showing their homes in the Neve Ilan neighborhood, Tel Aviv District, with marked targeting overlays, signaling precision capability and intelligence penetration. Tehran warned this is “only the beginning,” promising more disclosures tied to specific war crimes.

Hezbollah - US - Saudi Arabia - Israel

Lebanon’s President Joseph Aoun appears to be steering the country toward a dangerous confrontation with the Shia community and its principal political-military force, Hezbollah. Aligning himself with US, Israeli, and Saudi demands for Hezbollah’s disarmament—a red line the group has categorically rejected—Aoun is courting a conflict that risks igniting civil unrest.

Only a paid ignoramus would call for the disarmament of the resistance while the Israeli occupier continues to violate Lebanese sovereignty, kill its citizens and refuses to withdraw from a large occupied territory.

Tuesday is shaping up to be decisive: either the president insists on his stubbornness to fulfil a foreign submission agenda, pushing Lebanon closer to civil war, or he retreats from a confrontation he cannot win. One thing is certain: even if conflict erupts, he will never obtain the disarmament he seeks.

South of the Litani River, approximately 9,000 Lebanese Army soldiers are deployed—not to defend the country, but to bear silent witness to its humiliation. Israeli patrols drive brazenly through Kfar Kila, demolishing Lebanese homes in full view of the army, before retreating unscathed through corridors effectively ceded by the Lebanese Forces. Armed to the teeth and funded by international patrons, the Lebanese Army does not lift a finger. It does not fire a shot. It does not issue a warning. Its daily role has been reduced to surrounding bombed-out craters, removing the bodies of Lebanese civilians killed by Israeli drone strikes, and sanitising the scene before the next one. It functions not as a protective force, but as a public relations buffer—absorbing outrage, managing optics, and ensuring that no retaliatory act, however symbolic, disrupts the myth of “neutrality.”

And yet, in the marbled halls of Baabda and the echo chambers of Western and Regional embassies, the Lebanese president continues to promote the LAF as the country’s “sole legitimate defender.” This is not just political theatre—it is a betrayal. A commander-in-chief who salutes soldiers tasked with guarding checkpoints while civilians are incinerated by Israeli drones is not defending Lebanon; he is surrendering it. He speaks of sovereignty while accepting daily violations. He invokes the state while presiding over its paralysis. He calls for Hezbollah to disarm, while his own military refuses to confront the very enemy tearing through southern villages with American and European-made weapons.

The truth is this: the Lebanese Army has become a proxy institution—trained, equipped, and politically restrained to ensure it never engages Israel, never challenges the Western-imposed “rules of engagement,” and never disrupts the regional balance of impunity. It exists not to protect Lebanese lives, but to pacify and end the Lebanese resistance. It is deployed to southern Lebanon not as a shield, but as a leash. And the president who commands it is not a symbol of unity, but a steward of national submission.

The Supreme Leader’s representative in the IRGC’s East Azerbaijan branch has confirmed what’s long been tracked in quiet SIGINT:

An Israeli forward airbase exists just 17 km from Iranian territory, opposite the village of Asheghlu in Khoda Afarin County. Daily flights link it directly to Tel Aviv.

The site in question is almost certainly the Zangilan airport, built near Ashaghy Aghalu with a 3.2 km runway, deep enough for heavy ISR and drone ops. Construction began in 2021. By late 2022, it was inaugurated jointly by Ilham Aliyev and Recep Tayyip Erdoğan.

Zionist aircraft now operate from a NATO-adjacent base inside Azerbaijan, within first-strike range of Iran’s border provinces. Recon missions, infiltration platforms, and precision drones now have a clear vector into Iranian airspace.

The IRGC is tracking. So is the Axis. If Tel Aviv miscalculates, there will be no delay, no ambiguity.

US links $1.9bn in state disaster funds to Israel boycott stance
States and cities in the US will not receive funding from the Federal Emergency Management Agency (FEMA) to prepare for natural disasters if they choose to boycott Israeli companies, according to a Department of Homeland Security memo.

States must certify that they will not cut off “commercial relations specifically with Israeli companies” to receive the grants from FEMA, the memo said.

The condition applies to at least $1.9bn that states rely on to pay for search and rescue equipment, emergency manager salaries, backup power systems and other expenses, according to 11 agency grant notices reviewed by the Reuters news agency.

Critics said the move is the latest by the Trump administration to use routine federal funding to advance its political message at the state level.

– “If Israel chooses a wide-scale aggression against Lebanon, missiles will fall on it."

– “We will not agree to any new agreement other than the one concluded between the Lebanese state and Israel."

– “We demand that the investigation into the Beirut Port explosion be completed without politicization, which has delayed the results until now."

– “The ministerial statement speaks of safeguarding sovereignty. So is abandoning our weapons at the request of Israel, the US, and some Arab states a form of safeguarding sovereignty?"

Yemenis protest in Marib against Israeli-imposed famine in Gaza

After another large-scale weekly protest in the capital, Sanaa, yesterday, a demonstration has now taken place in Yemen’s Marib against Israel’s starvation of Palestinians in Gaza.

Footage verified by Al Jazeera showed protesters raising Palestinian flags and banners condemning the starvation policy against the people of Gaza.

The group of activists organising the protest issued a statement that called on Arab countries to demand the cessation of aggression by all available means.

PIJ says fighters attacked Israeli command post in south Gaza

The Quds Brigades, the military wing of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, says that it carried out a joint operation with several other armed Palestinian factions, bombing an Israeli command headquarters on Street 5 in Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

The group said in a statement that it used 107mm rockets in its attack, and added that its fighters observed an Israeli helicopter landing at the site of the bombing to evacuate the wounded, claiming that this is proof that its attack caused casualties among Israeli troops.

Israeli attack destroys UNRWA clinic near Gaza City

An Israeli raid has destroyed a UN Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees in the Near East (UNRWA) clinic west of Gaza City, our colleagues on the ground are reporting.

Today’s death toll rises to 83

At least 83 people have been killed by Israeli attacks in Gaza today, according to hospital sources cited by our colleagues on the ground. Among them are 58 aid seekers.

Gaza’s Civil Defence issues urgent appeal for fuel delivery

The Palestinian Civil Defence has appealed to the UN and aid agencies for “urgent assistance and intervention” to supply the enclave with fuel to power equipment that will enable it to rescue wounded Palestinians.

“We warn that most rescue devices and equipment in the governorates of the Gaza Strip have stopped responding to distress calls, and consequently, the lives of thousands of citizens are at risk or death,” the agency wrote in a statement.

Footage shows chaotic, bloody scene at Nasser Hospital

Al Jazeera has received harrowing footage from Khan Younis’s Nasser Medical Complex, where hundreds of patients have arrived in the past day.

The video shows a severely overcrowded hospital room where patients are packed onto beds with about a dozen others – many bloodied, bandaged and connected to tubes – lying on the floor amid bloodstains and scattered pools of blood.

Medics rush among them, sometimes stepping over bodies and puddles of blood, appearing overwhelmed as they navigate the chaos and try to prioritise care.

We are not publishing the footage due to its graphic nature.

Israeli drone hits car in Lebanon, killing at least one person

Lebanon’s army tasked with reclaiming all weapons by end of year

Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam says the army will come up with a plan to seize all weapons held by nonstate actors by the end of the year, Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency (NNA) reports.

The cabinet agreed to the plan during a meeting in which Salam affirmed “the state’s duty to monopolise the possession of weapons”, according to the NNA report.

The disarmament plan comes shortly after Hezbollah’s leader rejected the latest version of a US-proposed roadmap for it to disarm. Qassem argued it would leave Lebanon vulnerable to Israel.

However, Salam said the Lebanese government would continue to weigh the US proposal at a governmental session on Thursday.

Palestinian fighters say Israeli soldiers, vehicles targeted

The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, says its fighters and members of the al-Quds Brigades and the al-Nasser Salah al-Din Brigades have targeted a group of Israeli soldiers and vehicles north of Khan Younis.

Norway to review sovereign wealth fund’s Israel holdings

Norway’s government has ordered the central bank to review its sovereign wealth fund’s investments in Israel to ensure they do not include any companies that contribute to Israel’s occupation of the West Bank or war on Gaza.

The review comes after a report by Norway’s Aftenposten newspaper revealed that the sovereign wealth fund has a stake in an Israeli jet engine group, Bet Shemesh Engines Ltd (BSEL), which provides services to Israel’s armed forces.

Prime Minister Jonas Gahr Store reacted by saying, “We must get clarification on this because reading about it makes me uneasy.”

Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg then said the central bank will carry out a review of all the fund’s Israel holdings.

In June, Norway’s parliament rejected a proposal for the sovereign wealth fund to divest from all companies with activities in occupied Palestinian territory. The same month, however, the country’s largest pension fund divested from firms selling equipment to the Israeli army.

‘We’re seeing children with knees missing, with large chunks taken out of their faces’: British surgeon in Gaza

We’ve spoken to Victoria Rose, a British consultant plastic surgeon who has gone to work in Gaza several times since the start of the war.

Speaking to Al Jazeera from London, the doctor described her time spent at Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis, in southern Gaza, in May and June as “relentless”.

“When we were there, we were operating every day without a break for the 24 days; I was averaging about 12 patients a day and my colleagues had separate operating lists,” Rose said.

“The bulk of what we saw initially was all bomb blast injuries and then in the latter part of the trip we started to see a lot of the gunshot wounds from the GHF shootings,” she added.

“What we’re seeing now is that the population is displaced and everybody is living in tents and this is where the bombs are going off – so there is no protection,” Rose continued, describing the traumatic injuries caused by the bombardment as “much more severe”.

“So we were seeing children with knees missing, with feet missing, with hands missing, with large chunks taken out of their faces; really, really significant injuries that many of them didn’t survive.”

Hezbollah chief warns Israel against rekindling war

Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem is speaking at a memorial event for General Saeed Izadi, a commander in Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) who was killed in an Israeli air strike in June, according to the Hezbollah-run Al-Manar media.

During his remarks, Qassem warned Israel against re-starting a broader war on Lebanon, saying if it does so, rockets will fall in Israeli territory.

Qassem spoke about the ceasefire with Israel, which he said Hezbollah fully respected but Israel violated “thousands of times”.

He also criticised the latest version of a roadmap pushed by US envoy Thomas Barrack for Hezbollah to disarm, saying it did not come with sufficient guarantees that Israel would halt its attacks.

“If we surrender our weapons, the aggression will not stop, and this is what Israeli officials are saying,” he said, noting that Hezbollah could not agree to the latest proposed timetable.

“If Israel decides to wage a large-scale war, missiles will rain down on it again, and all the security they’ve been working on for eight months will collapse.”

To improve stability in Lebanon, Qassem called for cooperation “within a framework of national unity” that is not beholden to “American or other tutelage”.

Houthis say they fired hypersonic missile at Israel’s main airport

Yemen’s Houthi rebels say they launched a hypersonic ballistic missile at Israel’s Ben Gurion airport in what they described as an act of solidarity with Palestinians in Gaza.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree said in a video statement that the group used a “Palestine 2” missile in the attack.

The Israeli military said the missile was intercepted by its air force overnight. In a post on X, it said: “A missile that was launched from Yemen was intercepted by the Israeli air force.”

This marks the latest in a series of long-range missile attacks by the Houthis since the war in Gaza began.

Israeli attack kills 15 aid seekers in northern Gaza

At least 15 people have been killed and more than 100 wounded by Israeli fire on aid seekers in northern Gaza.

Since the GHF established aid sites at the end of May, at least 1,568 people have been killed while attempting to receive life-saving food aid amid the Israeli-engineered starvation crisis.

Soldiers also destroyed an 800-metre-long (2,624ft-long) water pipeline owned by another resident.

Moreover, Israeli troops stormed Khirbet Yarza village, seizing a residential tent and its contents.

A power generator that serves the Yarza Village Council was also confiscated.

Israeli army claims to destroy tunnel in Khan Younis

In its latest war update, Israel’s army claims its troops uncovered and destroyed a 2km (1.2 mile)-long tunnel in southern Khan Younis.

Palestinians in Gaza burning waste as fuel runs dry: OCHA

Gaza’s worsening fuel crisis is pushing Palestinians to burn tyres, rubber and waste to power tuk-tuks and motorbikes, creating what United Nations officials warn are hazardous methods to generate energy.

“People are burning anything they can find to produce low-grade fuel,” said Olga Cherevko, of the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA). “This is contributing to massive environmental damage and public health risks.”

Fuel shortages have also crippled essential services. “Ambulances cannot run, hospitals cannot operate, water trucks also cannot be delivered,” she said.

OCHA says its aid convoys are regularly delayed by Israeli-imposed restrictions. “Our missions sometimes last 18 hours or longer. The routes we’re given are often impossible and very dangerous,” Cherevko said.

Red Crescent says volunteer killed by Israeli fire while searching for food

The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) says a volunteer was fatally shot by Israeli forces as he searched for food amid growing hunger in Gaza.

In a statement posted on X, the PRCS said 28-year-old Abdel Majeed Adnan Salamah, a volunteer in Khan Younis for the past seven years, “worked tirelessly with PRCS ambulance teams, risking his life to rescue the wounded and injured” since the war began.

“Two days ago, he left in search of food in the so-called ‘US-Israeli aid zone’ west of Rafah. There, Israeli forces targeted him – along with other starving civilians. He never made it back. Abdel Majeed was killed while simply trying to survive,” the organisation said.

Scientists petition CERN over Israel’s war on Gaza

More than 1,000 scientists have petitioned the European Organization for Nuclear Research (CERN) to take action over Israel’s war on Gaza, urging it to comply with its principles, including to “have no concern with work for military requirements”.

“As scientists, we firmly believe that international collaboration, the sharing of knowledge and the free movement of ideas are great drivers of human progress and peace. Middle Eastern scientists have remained steadfast in upholding these principles despite decades of regional tensions and conflict,” the petition read.

“As scientists, we cannot tolerate that the current state of war imposed by the Israeli government on Palestinians, alongside the unacceptable toll of lives and affront to human dignity, also compromises the continued peaceful collaboration of Israeli and Palestinian scientists between themselves, and with the rest of the community.”

CERN is home to the Large Hadron Collider, the world’s most powerful particle accelerator.

‘Civil disobedience necessary to challenge genocidal policies’: CAGE International

Senior Director at CAGE International Moazzam Begg has warned that the UK’s anti-terror legislation is being weaponised to silence dissent, describing a planned day of civil disobedience “a defence of basic freedoms”.

His comments follow the UK government’s decision to designate Palestine Action as a “terrorist” organisation, after the group sprayed red paint on two military aircraft – an act intended to draw attention to Britain’s support for Israel’s assault on Gaza.

Since the ban came into effect, hundreds of people have been arrested for holding placards referencing Palestine Action – or Palestine more broadly – in what rights groups say amounts to a dangerous suppression of free expression.

In response, Defend Our Juries and partner organisations are calling on at least 500 people to join a coordinated protest on August 9.

Israeli MP removed from Knesset podium after quoting writer who called Israel’s war on Gaza genocide: Report

The Israeli newspaper Haaretz reports that Israeli parliamentarian Ofer Cassif, from the left-wing Hadash-Ta’al party, was forcibly removed from the Knesset podium on Monday night during a plenary session after quoting renowned Israeli writer and novelist David Grossman, who acknowledged in an interview with the Italian daily La Repubblica last week that, with “immense pain and a broken heart”, Israel is currently committing “genocide” in Gaza.

“‘For years I refused to use the term genocide, but now, after the images I’ve seen and after speaking to people who were there, I can no longer avoid it,'” Cassif said in his speech.

Haaretz said the session was chaired by deputy Knesset Speaker Nissim Vaturi, who interrupted Cassif, saying “That’s not a quote – that’s made up,” and demanded Cassif be removed from the podium, followed by Likud member Tali Gottlieb who shouted: “He will not say ‘genocide’ in here!” before Knesset ushers physically removed Cassif from the podium.

Israel Prepares Strike on Houthis Fear Disguised as Deterrence

Leaked by Israeli media and now confirmed by outlets like Reuters and Anadolu, Tel Aviv is planning a full-scale military operation targeting the Houthis in Yemen. The objective is to “permanently prevent” Ansar Allah from launching missiles toward Israel.

Tel Aviv is scrambling to contain a threat that proved it could impose strategic pain from 2,000 km away. And the so-called “decapitation” strikes haven’t worked. Ansar Allah isn’t deterred.

Ask Riyadh how this ends. The Houthis don’t fold, they entrench, adapt, and fire again. Every Israeli escalation brings the region closer to a new front, and the Yemeni arsenal closer to its next target.

"We consider this incident as a gross violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961, which, among other things, obliges the receiving state to ensure respect for the principle of inviolability of foreign missions' property and treat foreign diplomats with due respect, taking all appropriate measures to prevent any attacks on their person, freedom, or dignity," it said.

Twenty people killed after aid truck overturned in central Gaza: Media office

Gaza’s Government Media Office says Israel is exacerbating the humanitarian crisis affecting the enclave and reinforcing the “engineering of chaos”.

In a statement last night, the office reported that 20 people had been killed and dozens were injured attempting to access food aid after a truck overturned while travelling through unsafe roads in central Gaza.

“[The] truck carrying food overturned on them after the occupation forces forced the truck to enter through unsafe roads, which had previously been bombed and were not suitable for passage,” it said.

“This reveals the occupation’s deliberate attempts to force civilians into danger and death as part of its ‘engineering of chaos and starvation’,” the office added.

“We condemn in the strongest terms this deliberate criminal policy practised by the occupation forces, which amounts to a full-fledged crime of genocide under international humanitarian law,” the statement read.

It added that the situation in Gaza had crossed “all red lines”.

Gaza death toll rises

At least 135 Palestinians, including 87 aid seekers, have been killed and 771 injured in Israeli attacks across Gaza in the past 24 hours, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.

The count includes five people who starved to death in the past 24 hours, it said, raising the hunger-related death toll to 193, including 96 children.

Three bodies were also recovered from the rubble of previous Israeli attacks, the ministry statement said on Telegram.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed a total of 61,158 Palestinians and injured 151,442 since October 7, 2023, the ministry added.

The total number of aid seekers killed since May 27, when Israel introduced a new aid distribution mechanism through the controversial GHF, has reached 1,655, with more than 11,800 injured, the statement said.

Speaking at a press conference, organiser Haifa Mansouri said: “Dozens of boats will set sail from ports across the world, converging on Gaza in the largest civilian flotilla of its kind in history”.

The first convoy will leave Spanish ports on August 31, followed by a second from Tunisian ports on September 4.

Another organiser, Seif Abu Keshk, said more than 6,000 activists have already registered online to join the massive flotilla.

“This is a renewed attempt to pressure governments by sending dozens of ships and thousands of activists to break Gaza’s blockade,” Abu Keshk noted.

The announcement comes days after the Handala aid vessel was intercepted by Israeli forces last week as it neared Gaza.

US ‘may’ take over aid distribution management in Gaza

US media is reporting that Washington is expected to significantly increase its role in providing humanitarian aid to Gaza.

According to the reports, during a meeting between US Special Envoy Witkoff and President Donald Trump on Monday, an official said it was decided that the Trump administration would “take over” management of humanitarian efforts in the enclave because Israel wasn’t “handling it adequately”.

While the official said Trump was “not thrilled” about the US taking charge, “it kind of has to happen”, an unnamed official said in the report.

Some in the Trump administration are getting worried over reports that Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu wants to expand the war, the report added.

Moscow says Israeli troops did not intervene as settlers attacked Russian diplomatic vehicle in West Bank

Moscow has lodged a formal complaint with Israel over an attack by Israeli settlers on a Russian diplomatic vehicle near an illegal settlement in the occupied West Bank.

Russia’s Ministry of Foreign Affairs spokesperson Maria Zakharova said in a statement on Tuesday that Moscow considered the attack a “gross violation of the Vienna Convention on Diplomatic Relations of 1961”, and expressed “bewilderment and disapproval” that the attack “occurred with the connivance of Israeli military personnel”.

Israel bans Sheikh Hussein from Al-Aqsa Mosque over sermon condemning Gaza starvation

As we reported earlier, Israeli authorities issued a six-month ban on Sheikh Muhammad Hussein, the Grand Mufti of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Territory, from entering Al-Aqsa Mosque.

According to the Wafa news agency, the Jerusalem Governorate, quoting lawyer Khaldoun Najm, said the ban on Hussein follows the expiration of his eight-day ban.

This most recent ban was imposed after his Friday sermon, where he condemned Israel’s starvation policy against Palestinians in Gaza.

Last week, Hussein was handed an initial eight-day expulsion order from the mosque. The order has now been extended for six months.

Algeria’s UN envoy says Israel legally required to allow food into Gaza

Algerian Ambassador to the UN Amar Bendjama has warned the UN Security Council (UNSC) that Israel is legally required to allow aid into Gaza as “famine thresholds have been crossed.

“Let me be clear, humanitarian access is a legal obligation under the Geneva Conventions. It is not a favour. It is not negotiable. It cannot be used as a bargaining chip in exchange for those held in captivity,” Bendjama said.

“Malnutrition is rampant among all people in Gaza, including, unfortunately, including those in captivity,” he added.

“Today, the images that shocked some should surprise no one,” he added, as he held up photographs of children starving in Gaza, in the UNSC chamber in New York on Tuesday.

UN experts call for ‘immediate dismantling’ of the GHF

Thirty-five independent UN human rights experts have called for the “immediate dismantling” of the GHF, which they said is in “serious breach of international law”.

“The GHF, a nongovernmental organisation created by Israel in February 2025, with US support, to allegedly distribute aid in Gaza, is an utterly disturbing example of how humanitarian relief can be exploited for covert military and geopolitical agendas,” the experts said.

The experts added that “at least 859 people have been killed around GHF sites since the beginning of GHF’s operations in late May 2025.

“Calling it ‘humanitarian’ adds on to Israel’s humanitarian camouflage and is an insult to the humanitarian enterprise and standards,” they added.

In a statement shared by the UN Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights, the experts urged governments to “impose a full arms embargo on Israel” and “suspend trade and investment agreements that may result in harming the Palestinians and hold corporate entities accountable”.

Israeli army claims to have struck Hezbollah member operating groups in Syria

The Israeli army says it has struck alleged Hezbollah member, Hossam Qasem Ghorab, last night in an attack directed by the air force, without elaborating on the results.

According to a statement from the army, Ghorab operated from Lebanese territory to “direct terrorist cells in Syria”.

‘As if it doesn’t exist’: Hezbollah dismisses Lebanon gov’t disarmament decree

Hezbollah has rejected a decision by the Lebanese government directing the army to formulate a plan remove the group’s weapons.

“We will deal with this decision as if it doesn’t exist,” Hezbollah said in a statement.

The decree, announced by Prime Minister Nawaf Salam after a cabinet meeting on Tuesday, amounted to an official rejection by the Lebanese government to Hezbollah’s military presence in the country. It re-asserted that only the state will have the right to have arms.

It also put the Lebanese army on a potential course to clash with Hezbollah, which could lead to a civil war.

Hezbollah said the decision is dictated by the US and only serves Israel’s interests.

“This decision topples the sovereignty of Lebanon and releases the hand of Israel to ravage its security, geography, politics and future existence,” the group said.

Hezbollah added that it would be willing to discuss a defence strategy to end “Israeli aggression” in Lebanon, liberate its land, free the country’s captives in Israel and build a Lebanese state, but not while under Israel’s attacks.

It said Israel must first adhere to the ceasefire agreement reached in November of last year.

“And to our honourable people we say: This is a summer cloud that will pass,” Hezbollah said.

Mossad Infiltrates ICC to Stop Netanyahu Trial

Araghchi reasserts Iran’s support for Hezbollah, says the group recovered

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has reasserted his country’s support for Lebanon’s Hezbollah amid a push to disarm the group.

He said Tehran backs its Lebanese ally “without interfering” in its decisions.

Araghchi cited recent comments by Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem rejecting efforts to remove the group’s weapons.

The top Iranian diplomat stressed that the Lebanese group has now fully regained the capabilities to defend itself after suffering heavy blows in last year’s conflict with Israel.

“According to available information, the damage from the recent war has been repaired, Hezbollah has reorganised, deployed its forces, and replaced its commanders,” Araghchi said, according to Tasnim news agency.

His comments come amid an intensifying debate in Lebanon after the government tasked the army with producing a plan to remove Hezbollah’s weapons by the end of the year.

Israel drops leaflets against local Hezbollah official in south Lebanon

The Israeli military has dropped leaflets in the Lebanese border village of Meiss el-Jabal, accusing a local Hezbollah official of looking after his own interests at the expense of the town.

Israel plans to occupy Gaza City and force civilians out: Report

Israeli Channel 12 reports that Netanyahu will present at tomorrow’s cabinet meeting how he intends to start the full ground military control of Gaza.

According to sources who spoke to the Israeli broadcaster, the first move would be to occupy Gaza City in the north of the Gaza Strip.

In coordination with the United States, the Israeli army would first force civilians to evacuate to central areas of the enclave. There, Israeli forces would establish temporary civilian infrastructure in a process that could last for weeks. Once all civilians are forcibly transferred, Israeli troops would enter Gaza City.

According to the report, Trump is expected to deliver a speech on the expansion of humanitarian efforts, including the allocation of $1bn to set up new aid distribution sites.

In parallel, Israel will annex the perimeter area that it has established since the start of the war along the fence with Gaza, it said.

Hamas calls for protests across the world against Gaza starvation

The Palestinian group says it appreciates the the “global movement” against the bombardment and Israeli-imposed hunger in the Gaza Strip.

“We call for continuing and escalating the popular pressure in the cities, capitals and squares on Friday, Saturday and Sunday and all the upcoming days with marches, protests and demonstrations in front of the Zionist and US embassies,” Hamas said in a statement.

The Palestinian group called on people across the world to speak out and demand opening all entry points to deliver aid to Gaza.

Hamas says it targeted Israeli bulldozer in Gaza City

The Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s armed wing, says it fired a grenade at an Israeli military bulldozer in the Tuffah neighbourhood of Gaza City.

In a separate incident, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s al-Quds Brigades said it launched mortar shells at Israeli positions in Khan Younis in a joint operation with the Qassam Brigades.

Lebanon FM says decision to disarm Hezbollah ‘final and resolute’

Without naming Hezbollah, Lebanon’s Foreign Minister Youssef Raggi says the “decision to place all weapons exclusively under state authority by the end of the year was, above all, a response to the aspirations of the Lebanese people”.

“To them, and to the Arab and international communities, our message is clear: This decision is final and resolute; there is no turning back,” Raggi wrote in a social media post.

Hezbollah had dismissed the decision, saying that it will treat it “as if it doesn’t exist”.

The group has been critical of Raggi over his failure to rally Arab states and the international community against the daily Israeli attacks and continued occupation of parts of southern Lebanon.

Israeli Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir has opposed the plan, saying that the occupation of Gaza will put Israel in a “black hole”, the report said.

Despite 2005 Israeli withdrawal, Gaza has been occupied since 1967

Israeli officials have been threatening to fully “occupy” Gaza, but legal experts stress that the enclave has been occupied since 1967 despite the withdrawal of Israeli forces and settlers in 2005.

The International Court of Justice, the UN’s top tribunal, reaffirmed that position in a ruling last year.

“The Court notes that, for the purpose of determining whether a territory remains occupied under international law, the decisive criterion is not whether the occupying Power retains its physical military presence in the territory at all times but rather whether its authority has been established and can be exercised,” the ruling said.

It underscored that Israel continued to exercise key elements of authority over Gaza after the 2005 withdrawal, “including control of the land, sea and air borders, restrictions on movement of people and goods” and the collection of import and export taxes.

“This is even more so since 7 October 2023,” the court added.

Former UN official Michael Lynk likened Gaza to a prison where Israel retains control, making it the occupying power.

“It’s like if the guards leave the prison, but they take all the keys with them; they’re still controlling how much food goes inside the prison each day and how much electricity goes into the prison each day,” Lynk told Al Jazeera in 2023.

“The people inside the prison are free to roam wherever they want within the confines of the prison but have no ability to be able to leave – that would be ‘effective control’ over the prison.”

Palestinian football icon killed while waiting for food in Gaza

Suleiman Al-Obaid, a former Palestine national team player, was killed in an Israeli strike targeting civilians waiting for humanitarian aid in southern Gaza, the Palestine Football Association (PFA) has said.

Also known as the Pele of Palestinian football, al-Obaid began his career with his home club, the Khadamat Al-Shati Club. He later joined the Al-Amari Youth Center Club in the occupied West Bank, then the Gaza Sports Club, before ultimately making it to the national team, PFA said.



The football star is the 662nd member of the sports community to have been killed in Gaza since the start of the war, it added.

Rights advocates have been calling for FIFA, football’s world governing body, to ban Israel for abuses against Palestinian footballers. Israeli clubs based in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank also participate in Israel’s football competitions – a practice in breach of FIFA’s discrimination rules.

PAME Greece International: On Thursday, August 14, mobilization at the Port of Piraeus against the docking of the cruise ship carrying Israeli soldiers. It is unwelcome! Send it back!

Greece shall not become a place of rest for war criminals!

STOP the involvement in and support for the genocide of the Palestinian people.

The cruise ship is arriving from the murderous state of Israel, carrying, among alleged tourists, Israeli soldiers, including the thug who attacked a worker and caused damage in Agios Nikolaos, Crete. It will be attempting to dock on Thursday, August 14th, at the historic port of Piraeus, the port where dockworkers blocked ships transporting military equipment to the murderous state.

Workers and all labour unions must express our solidarity with the Palestinian people through militant action. The number of deaths has exceeded 60,000, mostly children. The number of children and civilians dying from starvation continues to rise.

The latest developments, including Netanyahu's statements about the complete occupation of Gaza, expose the fallacy of Israel's so-called "right to self-defense", a narrative that the Greek government and other NATO and EU - aligned parties rushed to support.

The Greek government bears heavy responsibility for supporting the murderous state. Together with the Israeli embassy, through the arrival of this cruise ship, they are attempting to whitewash the crimes of the Israeli state and to suppress any form of solidarity with the Palestinian by labeling it as "antisemitism."

This cruise ship from the murderous state of Israel must face the same fate as the ships that were carrying military equipment and were never allowed to dock at the port!

Solidarity actions are being organized across the country by labour unions, organizations, and the people, aiming to express support in every possible way for the Palestinians fighting against occupation and the imperialist plans in their region. The Greek people and others throughout Europe and the world demand an end to the crimes being committed.

We demand:

• No economic, political, or military cooperation with or support for the murderous state of Israel

• Freedom for Palestine

• An immediate end to the unacceptable campaign aimed at the occupation of the Gaza Strip

• Recognition of the Palestinian state based on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital, in accordance with UN resolutions

Iran has drawn a hard red line over the U.S.–backed Zangezur Corridor, framing it as a strategic encirclement designed to sever its direct overland link to Europe via Armenia. Tehran sees the project not as mere infrastructure but as the latest phase in a decades-long American–Israeli maneuver to box out Iran, Russia, and China from the Caucasus. Senior Iranian figures have cast it as a national security threat that will be met with resistance, signaling readiness to contest any permanent Western foothold along its northern frontier.

From Moscow, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova accused the West of trying to “hijack” the peace process, warning that this move could destabilize the region’s security balance. Yet beyond rhetoric, Russia’s posture has been muted, its initial irritation giving way to a measured recalibration after being visibly sidelined in Washington’s choreography.

For the regional axis, the corridor’s opening is not about trucks and trains but about the redraw of influence lines. Tehran is preparing to counter, Moscow is bristling but adjusting, and Beijing is quietly charting its own counters. The August deal has not gone unnoticed, it has awakened both Iran and Russia to a deliberate, long-horizon U.S. insertion into a space they once treated as part of their uncontested perimeter.

“Iran will block the American corridor in the Caucasus with or without Russia” Advisor to Supreme Leader Ali Akbar Velayati.

The Caucasus is one of the most sensitive geographical points in the world, and this passage will not become a corridor owned by Trump, but a graveyard for Trump's mercenaries.

🔹 Renting the corridor by another country is a naive statement, and Trump is pretending to be naive. This claim, that Trump rents a corridor on this side of the world, is like someone from this side of the world going to rent the Panama Canal for themselves! This is impossible and will not happen.

🔹 Trump thinks he is a real estate agent and wants to rent land or a region!

🔹 The plan for this corridor, which will lead to the division of Armenia in the future, faces strong opposition from the Armenian people. No nation is willing or agrees to the division of its land; even if their government unfortunately takes unstable positions.

🔹 The Prime Minister of Armenia, during a previous visit to Iran, emphasized, considering the clear harms and conspiracies of this plan, that he agrees with Iran's stance and opposes the construction of the corridor.

🔹 With the implementation of this conspiracy, the security of the South Caucasus will be endangered, and accordingly, Iran has emphasized that whether with Russia or without Russia, it will act in the interest of South Caucasus security, and of course, we believe Russia is also strategically opposed to this corridor. — Tasnim

Ireland ‘intends’ to pass trade ban on Israeli settlements despite US pressure

Ireland will continue to advance legislation banning the import of goods from illegal Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank, Foreign Affairs and Trade Minister Simon Harris has said.

More than a dozen members of the US Congress had called on Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent to add Ireland to a list of countries boycotting Israel if the Occupied Territories Bill is passed by Dublin.

But Harris said Ireland’s government remains undeterred and “isn’t alone” in carrying out the measures.

“This week we also saw Slovenia take action in relation to trade from the occupied territories, I expect Belgium are likely to do the same and we intend to advance with our legislation,” Harris told reporters on Friday.

“People in Ireland, people in Europe and people right across the world feel extraordinarily strongly about the genocidal activity that we’re seeing in Gaza, about the starving children and we will use all tools at our disposal,” he added.

Far-right Israeli football fans set off pyrotechnics in Latvia
Nils Adler

Thick black smoke billowed across Riga FC’s stadium as fans of the Israeli football team Beitar Jerusalem defied UEFA rules on Thursday, setting off several rounds of pyrotechnics.

A banner displaying the name of Beitar supporters’ fan club “La Familia”, known for its anti-Arab chants and violent behaviour, sat draped across the away stand.

After the UEFA Conference League qualifier match, Latvian police had to intervene as Beitar fans set off flares in busy traffic.

This comes just weeks after Beitar fans were filmed chanting “Death to Arabs” while marching through the streets of Bucharest, where their team beat Sutjeska of Montenegro 5-2.

Seeing Israeli football fans being allowed to shout anti-Palestinian chants without punishment around Europe is something Dima Said, the spokesperson for the Palestinian Football Association, told Al Jazeera is “one of the hardest things to watch”.

“For me to see that those people who publicly support genocide, who publicly advocate for children to be killed, is something that’s very harmful for me as a human being, first, but secondly, as a Palestinian, it should not be allowed,” she said.

She also pointed to the fact that hundreds of Palestinian footballers have been killed since Israel’s war on Gaza began, including football icon Suleiman al-Obeid.

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

Antiwar activists storm Big Brother live broadcast in Israel

A group of Israeli activists have stormed a live television broadcast to protest against the continuation of Israel’s war on Gaza.

Wearing “Leave Gaza” T-shirts, several young members of the Standing Together activist group jumped onto the stage and sat on the floor during the airing of the Big Brother show on Channel 13.

In a social media post, Standing Together said its members “gave a speech against the government’s plan to continue the horrors in Gaza, a plan that will kill the hostages, kill the Palestinians in Gaza, and kill the soldiers”.

It added: “There is no normalcy alongside this reality, no business as usual.”

Israeli captives’ relatives call for general strike to ‘stop the war’

A group of family members of Israeli captives has announced plans for a nationwide strike on August 17 to protest against the government’s aims to expand the war in Gaza, according to Israeli media reports.

The general strike – involving private firms, labour unions and citizens allied with the cause – aims to stop economic activities for the day, Israel’s Arutz Sheva media reported.

Anat Angrest, a mother of an Israeli captive, urged the public to join the strike. “I know that the heart we share hurts, but it’s not enough. Silence kills,” she said at a news conference, according to Arutz Sheva. “That’s why I’m here today to ask for what I’ve avoided until now, to ask the leaders of the economy. You have the power. Your silence is killing our children.”

Reut Recht-Edri, whose son Ido Edri was killed during the October 7, 2023, attacks on southern Israel, was quoted by The Times of Israel as saying: “We will all pause next Sunday and say: ‘Enough. Stop the war. Return the hostages.’ It is in our hands.”

Al Jazeera condemns the assassination of its journalists by Israeli occupation forces

Al Jazeera Media Network condemns in the strongest terms the targeted assassination of its correspondents Anas Al Sharif and Mohammed Qraiqea, along with photographers Ibrahim Al Thaher, and Mohamed Nofal, by the Israeli occupation forces in yet another blatant and premeditated attack on press freedom.

In a statement by the Israeli occupation force, admitting to their crimes, the journalists were targeted by a directed assault towards the tent where they were stationed opposite Al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza. In which they were martyred. This attack comes amid the catastrophic consequences of the ongoing Israeli assault on Gaza, which has seen the relentless slaughter of civilians, forced starvation, and the obliteration of entire communities. The order to assassinate Anas Al Sharif, one of Gaza’s bravest journalists, and his colleagues, is a desperate attempt to silence the voices exposing the impending seizure and occupation of Gaza.

As Al Jazeera Media Network bids farewell to yet another group of its finest journalists, who boldly and courageously documented the plight of Gaza and its people since the onset of the war, it holds the Israeli occupation forces and government responsible for deliberately targeting and assassinating its journalists. This follows repeated incitement and calls by multiple Israeli officials and spokespersons to target the fearless journalist Anas Al Sharif and his colleagues.

Anas and his colleagues were among the last remaining voices from within Gaza, providing the world with unfiltered, on-the-ground coverage of the devastating realities endured by its people. While international media was barred from entering, Al Jazeera journalists remained within besieged Gaza, experiencing the hunger and suffering they documented through their lenses. Through continuous, courageous live coverage, they have delivered searing eyewitness accounts of the horrors unleashed over 22 months of relentless bombing and destruction.

Despite losing several journalists to deliberate attacks and working under constant threat, Anas Al Sharif, Mohammed Qraiqea, and their colleagues persisted in the strip to ensure the world sees the harrowing truth experienced by Gaza’s populace.

While vehemently condemning these heinous crimes and the ongoing attempts by Israeli authorities to silence the truth, Al Jazeera Media Network calls on the international community and all relevant organisations to take decisive measures to halt this ongoing genocide and end the deliberate targeting of journalists. Al Jazeera emphasises that immunity for perpetrators and the lack of accountability embolden Israel’s actions and encourage further oppression against witnesses to the truth.

Slain Al Jazeera journalists ‘knew they had targets on their backs’

Mouin Rabbani, the co-editor of Jadaliyya, has slammed Israel’s assassination of al-Sharif and his colleagues, noting the Israeli military has yet to offer any evidence for its claim that the Al Jazeera correspondent was a Hamas operative.

“More journalists have been killed during the Gaza genocide than in any other armed conflict on record and in this particular case, Anas al-Sharif and his colleagues knew they had targets on their backs.

“They were repeatedly warned – not to stop firing rockets, but to stop with their professional and journalistic activities,” Rabbani told Al Jazeera.

“And nevertheless, with extraordinary courage and perseverance, they kept informing the world about what was happening in the Gaza genocide.”

Rabbani went on to describe the Israeli allegations against al-Sharif as “complete lies”.

“They put out these fabricated documents, one of which says that he supposedly was injured during military training in July of 2023, that he was no longer fit for military service. Well, that of itself is proof that he was not involved in the military wing of Hamas.”

Palestine’s UN envoy urges Security Council to send journalists into Gaza

Hours before Israeli forces killed Al Jazeera’s crew in Gaza City, Palestine’s envoy to the UN, Riyad Mansour, spoke at the Security Council, urging it to take journalists into Gaza to see what is happening there.

“Why don’t you, the Security Council, take with you 100 journalists from your countries and other countries to verify exactly what is happening in Gaza?” Mansour said at a rare weekend session of the UN’s most powerful body.

“If Netanyahu is so sure of this global conspiracy about a ‘lie’, let him prove it. I invite you; he should allow you to go to the Gaza Strip and see exactly what is happening there. Take journalists with you so that you can verify exactly what is happening in Gaza,” Mansour added.

Netanyahu also gave a news briefing on Sunday, claiming that he had given permission for some foreign journalists to enter the Gaza Strip, although he said that “there’s a problem of assuring security”.

At least 18 people killed across Gaza since dawn as child starves to death
A six-year-old boy has died from malnutrition in southern Gaza, and at least 18 people have been killed across the territory since dawn.

The Nasser Medical Complex confirmed the death of Jamal Fadi al-Najjar, who succumbed to hunger-related illness in the southern city of Khan Younis.

Elsewhere in the governorate of Khan Younis, at least five people were killed in an Israeli strike on a tent sheltering displaced civilians in the al-Mawasi area.

In Gaza City, which Israel said it plans to seize, at least four people were killed and others injured in an air strike on an apartment in the al-Sahaba area.

Heavy bombardment also struck residential homes elsewhere in Gaza City:

At least four people were killed in a strike on the al-Nadeem family home on al-Nadeem Street, and several are missing. A girl was rescued.
At least three people were killed in a strike on the al-Hasari family home near al-Faruq Mosque, and about 20 people were trapped under rubble.
At least one person was killed in a strike on the Salmi family home, west of the University College area. Several remain missing.

Five Palestinians starve to death in Gaza in 24 hours: Ministry

Gaza’s Health Ministry has recorded “five deaths due to famine and malnutrition over the past 24 hours, including two children”.

This brings the total number of hunger-related deaths recorded since October 7, 2023 to 227, including 103 children.

Norway’s wealth fund confirms divestment from Israeli jet engine group

The CEO of Norway’s sovereign wealth fund, Nicolai Tangen, says the fund has sold its shares in Israel’s Bet Shemesh Engines Holdings, which makes engine parts for Israeli fighter jets deployed in the war on Gaza.

Tangen made the comments at a news conference a day after the fund announced it was divesting from 11 of the 61 Israeli companies it holds stakes in.

The fund didn’t initially confirm which companies it was divesting from, but its holdings in Bet Shemesh had come under recent scrutiny after they were revealed by Norwegian newspaper Aftenposten.

Deputy CEO Trond Grande also told reporters that the fund is planning to divest from more Israeli companies as part of an ongoing review due to the situation in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

Belfast, Dublin hold protests after Israeli killing of journalists in Gaza

Demonstrations have been held in Northern Ireland’s capital Belfast and Republic of Ireland’s capital Dublin, after a prominent Al Jazeera correspondent was killed in a targeted Israeli attack in Gaza City at the weekend, alongside four colleagues and a freelancer.

The National Union of Journalists (NUJ) organised demonstrations at Writer’s Square in Belfast’s Cathedral Quarter and at the Spire in Dublin on Monday evening to condemn the killings.

Israel arrests 42 Palestinians from Gaza in Nazareth: Reports

The Times of Israel is reporting that Israeli police have arrested 42 Palestinians from Gaza who had been living “illegally” in the Israeli city of Nazareth.

Quoting law enforcement officials, the newspaper said the Palestinians were detained on Monday night as part of an operation aimed at “preventing illegal residency offenses” and were taken from “three separate hideout apartments”.

The detainees have been transferred for questioning to the Nazareth police station, the news outlet added.

The Palestinian Prisoner’s Media Office also reported on the arrests, saying those apprehended had been “working in the Nazareth area”.

Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir praised law enforcement for the operation and described the detainees as “smugglers”.

New Zealand legislator removed from Parliament over Israel comments

Chloe Swarbrick, who is co-leader of the Green Party, has been ordered to leave Parliament after she criticised her country’s delay in recognising a Palestinian state and called for sanctions against Israel.

The legislator described New Zealand as a “laggard” and an “outlier” before calling on members of the ruling party to support a bill to “sanction Israel for its war crimes”.

The bill was proposed by her party in March and is supported by all opposition parties.

“If we find six of 68 Government MPs with a spine, we can stand on the right side of history,” said Swarbrick.

Speaker Gerry Brownlee said that statement was “completely unacceptable” and she had to withdraw it and apologise.

When she refused, Swarbrick was ordered to leave parliament.

Brownlee later clarified Swarbrick could return on Wednesday, but if she still refused to apologise, she would again be removed from parliament.

New Zealand has said it will make a decision in September about whether it would recognise Palestine as a state.

Norway wealth fund posts $68bn profit day after Israel divestment announcement
Norway’s $2 trillion sovereign wealth fund, the largest in the world, has reported a profit of 698 billion Norwegian krones ($68.2bn) for the first half of the year – a day after announcing it would cut ties with Israeli asset managers and divest parts of its portfolio over the war on Gaza.

The fund’s 5.7 percent return for January-June was driven by strong stock market performance, “particularly in the financial sector”, CEO Nicolai Tangen said.

On Monday, the fund said it had terminated contracts with asset managers handling Israeli investments following an urgent review. It also confirmed partial divestment over the situation in Gaza and the occupied West Bank.

The fund faced criticism for holding shares in an Israeli company supplying parts for fighter jets used in Gaza.

“The war in Gaza is contrary to international law and is causing terrible suffering, so it is understandable that questions are being raised about the fund’s investments,” Finance Minister Jens Stoltenberg said last week.

Hamas reports attacks on invading Israeli troops in Gaza

The Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of Hamas, said it has launched three attacks on advancing Israeli soldiers in the northern and southern parts of Gaza.

Earlier in the day, it said its fighters targeted an Israeli “command and control centre” around Salah al-Din Street near the Zourob Hill south of Rafah in the southernmost part of the enclave.

The group also reported mounting attacks in the north of Gaza City, which the Israeli army plans to seize.

The Qassam Brigades said its fighters managed to shoot two Israeli soldiers in the Tuffah neighbourhood east of Gaza City, leaving them severely wounded or dead. It also reported using mortar shells to attack an Israeli gathering in Talat al-Sourani, also in the Tuffah area.

Protesters denounce killing of Gaza journalists in several European cities

Activists organised demonstrations and vigils in several European capitals today to condemn Israel’s assassination of journalists in Gaza.

In Norway’s capital city, Oslo, a march ended with a vigil in front of the Norwegian Parliament, with protesters carrying pictures of dozens of killed journalists. One journalist set fire to his international press card in protest.

In Sweden’s capital, Stockholm, demonstrators raised Palestinian flags and carried banners denouncing the silencing of journalists.

In the United Kingdom, protesters gathered in front of the headquarters of the BBC to denounce the silence regarding the genocide in Gaza and the targeting of journalists.

Extremely limited number of aid trucks entering Gaza and most of those are looted, GMO says

Gaza’s Government Media Office reports that only 124 aid trucks were allowed by Israel to enter the Gaza Strip on Sunday, far below the minimum 600 daily trucks required to fight off famine.

Most of the trucks were looted “amid deliberate security chaos created by the Israeli occupation as part of the policy of engineering starvation and chaos aimed at undermining the resilience of our Palestinian people”, it said in a statement.

Only 1,334 aid trucks out of the supposed amount of 9,000 trucks were allowed into Gaza over the course of 15 days, the office said.

RSF calls on international community to stop Israeli crimes in Gaza

Louise Bichet, project director at Reporters Without Borders (RSF), has condemned Israel’s “murder” and “targeted killing” of Al Jazeera’s journalists in Gaza.

RSF is appealing “very strongly and firmly” to the international community to react, condemn, and take measures against the Israeli military, Bichet told Al Jazeera.

Israel must protect Palestinian journalists, ensure medical evacuation for the wounded, and grant international reporters access to the Gaza Strip, Bichet said.

The latest targeted killing of journalists is part of a “huge and repeated tactic of defamation campaigns … without bringing tangible and serious proof,” she said.

German police arrest people protesting against Israel’s war in Gaza

Footage shared online by local activists and verified by Al Jazeera shows German police assaulting demonstrators in capital Berlin.

German police have repeatedly cracked down on pro-Palestinian demonstrations in Berlin and other cities since the start of the war. Germany remains the second-largest provider of arms to Israel.

Compete capitulation by the UN today. The backstory:

1. Israel accused Hamas of using SA as a weapon of war, demanding they be blacklisted, an official designation with diplomatic consequences.

2. The UN asked to investigate. Hamas agreed, Israel refused.

3. Israel instead invited Pramila Patten, with no investigative mandate, to visit and write a report. She did so.

4. Israel then produced its own report, through Patten’s friend and former colleague
@KaddariRuth
, by The Dinah Project

(That’s a reference to the story of Dinah in the Old Testament. Dinah is a victim of SA and her brothers respond by killing everyone in the town. The title made clear the purpose of the allegation was to launch a genocide.)

5. Major reports emerge, with video evidence, of systemic SA of Palestinians in Israeli prisons and detention centers.

6. The UN announces it is blacklisting Hamas, per Israel’s demand, but does not blacklist Israel, merely warning them to do better.

7. In about 2 decades, if it still exists, the UN will apologize for this when it no longer matters

Qassam Brigades claim attacks on Israeli tank, troops in Gaza City
The armed wing of Hamas says its fighters hit an Israeli Merkava tank with a Yassin 105 shell in southern Zeitoun, Gaza City’s largest neighbourhood – where Israeli forces have also stepped up deadly attacks.

The group said its fighters also targeted two houses where Israeli soldiers had taken cover during their withdrawal from an ambush site, claiming to have inflicted both deaths and injuries among the troops, without providing more details.

At least 32 killed in Gaza today
This update to today’s death toll from Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip comes to us from sources at local hospitals.

The sources also said that at least 13 of those killed today were seeking aid.

Hamas sends letter of appreciation to Yemen for Gaza support
Hamas has delivered a letter of thanks to Yemen’s Houthis for their “steadfast positions” in support of Gaza, according to a statement from the group.

The letter from Hamas political chief Khalil al-Hayya was handed to Houthi Foreign Minister Jamal Amer. It expressed the group’s pride in Yemen’s leadership and people for their backing of Palestine and Gaza, and for holding firm to the central cause of the nation, the statement by Hamas read.

For his part, Yemen’s foreign minister reaffirmed his country’s united stance with Hamas, calling it a symbol of the nation’s dignity. He stressed Yemen’s continued support for the Palestinian people and their resistance despite Israeli aggression, the statement added.

The Houthis continue to wage a military campaign against Israel, periodically firing missiles and drones at its territory.

Ben-Gvir goes to jail cell of Marwan Barghouti, threatens him
Israel’s far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has paid a visit to the most prominent Palestinian detainee, Fatah leader Marwan Barghouti, footage shared on social media shows.

In the footage, Ben-Gvir is seen telling Barghouti, who has been in prison since 2002, including years in solitary confinement, “You won’t win. Whoever messes with the nation of Israel, whoever murders our children and women – we will wipe them out. You should know this, [this happened] throughout history.”

Relatives of 66-year-old Barghouti who viewed the footage told Al Jazeera Arabic there is a “shocking” change in his features, apparently from “exhaustion and hunger”, and expressed fear that he will be killed in custody.

Back in October, the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society accused Israeli prison staff of “brutally assaulting” and injuring Barghouti while he was being held in solitary confinement.

Palestinian National Council condemns threat against Marwan Barghouti, calls on Red Cross to ensure his safety
Palestinian National Council (PNC) Chairman Ruhi Fattouh has issued a statement condemning what he called physical and psychological attacks on jailed leader Marwan Barghouti, after Israel’s Ben-Gvir was filmed threatening him in his cell.

In a statement cited by the Wafa news agency, Fattouh said he holds Israel fully responsible for the life of Barghouti, who he said had been subjected to inhumane conditions while in solitary confinement, causing his apparent state of “weakness and emaciation”.

“These violations come within the bloody comprehensive war targeting our Palestinian people and its leadership, led by the prisoner Marwan Barghouti, and the aggression of ethnic cleansing launched by the right-wing terrorist government on the Palestinian territories,” he said, calling on the Red Cross and other rights groups to intervene immediately to ensure the safety of Barghouti and other Palestinian prisoners.

Hamas criticises PA minister over call to disarm
Hamas has condemned reported remarks by Palestinian Authority Foreign Minister Varsen Aghabekian Shahin calling for the disarmament of Palestinian resistance groups, saying such statements “do not serve our people or national interests”.

In a statement, the group said resistance and its weapons are a “national right” as long as Israel’s occupation continues, and can only be relinquished with the full restoration of Palestinian rights and the establishment of an independent state with Jerusalem as its capital.

Hamas said it was “astonished” these comments came as Israel wages a “brutal genocide” in Gaza and advances illegal settlement expansion in the occupied West Bank.

The group urged Palestinian Authority leadership to retract such statements and stand with the Palestinian people and groups in resisting Israeli plans “aimed at erasing our people and seizing our land”.

Israel likely eying ‘additional land beyond Palestinian territories’
Netanyahu’s declared vision for a “greater Israel” is predictable given the longstanding rhetoric from his Likud party and broader Zionist ideology, says Mohamed Elmasry, professor at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies.

“This is something deeply rooted. If you go back to early Zionist founders, they based their conception of the land of Israel on a Biblical definition, which was not just from the Jordan River to the Mediterranean Sea, but actually from the Euphrates River in Iraq to the Nile River in Egypt,” Almasry told Al Jazeera.

Netanyahu’s Likud party, he explained, “has adopted a greater Israel slogan since 1977. So this is something that’s very deeply rooted within Zionism and within Israeli politics. It’s also something that’s popular inside of Israel, so it’s certainly not surprising to see Israel pushing for this kind of greater Israel vision.”

Elmasry said Israel has been “encroaching upon Palestinian land” in the occupied West Bank for decades and now have their sights set on Gaza “and probably additional land beyond the Palestinian territories”.

Top Israeli Cyber Official Arrested in US Child Predator Sting Then Freed Without Explanation

Las Vegas (Quds News Network)- Las Vegas police, working with the FBI, Homeland Security, and Nevada’s Internet Crimes Against Children Task Force, announced the arrest of eight men on Wednesday. One of them was Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, 38, a top Israeli cyberwarfare official.

Alexandrovich works directly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. He serves as Acting Head of Data & AI at Israel’s National Cyber Directorate. His job safeguards Israel’s critical infrastructure, including power grids, airports, and sensitive intelligence networks.

According to Las Vegas authorities, Alexandrovich and others were charged with luring a child with a computer for a sexual act. In Nevada, this felony carries a sentence of up to 20 years in prison.

Alexandrovich is the founder of Israel’s multi-million-dollar “Cyber Dome” initiative. The program uses AI to detect, neutralize, and repel cyber threats before they reach critical systems. He has deep access to Israel’s cyber secrets and classified partnerships with foreign powers.

His position makes him one of Israel’s most powerful cyber officials. Experts say any ally, including the United States, would normally monitor such a figure closely. He was in Las Vegas for a professional conference, not as a registered diplomat. He has no diplomatic immunity. Yet U.S. authorities allowed him to board a plane and return to Israel within days, without trial, bail conditions, or public explanation

Israeli outlet Ynet reported only that Alexandrovich was “briefly detained for questioning… before his release and return to Israel.” The report did not mention the felony charges or the multi-agency child predator sting led by US authorities.

The Zionists thought they could march into Al-Zaytoun. Instead, every alley turned into a graveyard for their armor and troops:

🟢🔻 Al-Qassam Brigades turned Merkava 4s into scrap on Street 8 and Al-Maslaba with Yasin 105s, ambushed infantry in Al-Barasi land with TBG fire, blew troop carriers apart with fedayeen explosives, and even collapsed houses onto the cowards who tried hiding inside.

⚫🔻 Al-Quds Brigades ripped through the advance columns, detonating anti-armor devices pre-laid under Zionist vehicles near Ashour Press and Aliyeen Mosque, the “elite” forces never even saw it coming.

⚪🔻 Al-Nasser Brigades with Mujahideen Brigades pounded their massed soldiers and vehicles in Al-Barasi land with 60mm mortars, raining fire until the occupation scattered.

Al-Zaytoun proves once again: the so-called “most moral army” can’t even hold a street. Gaza’s factions fight as one, humiliating the invaders at every step. Their “advance” south-east of Gaza City has been nothing but burnt tanks, shredded carriers, and soldiers carried out in bags.

🟢 Hamas Statement

In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful

For about a week, the criminal Zionist enemy has waged relentless attacks on the eastern and southern neighborhoods of Gaza City, especially Al-Zaytoun. Warplanes, artillery, and explosive robots are systematically demolishing the area as part of a declared war of extermination aimed at erasing Gaza and all forms of life within it.

These crimes, committed by Netanyahu’s terrorist government, unfold openly before the entire world. His repeated invocations of the Dresden attack are translated on the ground into massacres, mass displacement, and continuous bombardment, proof that we are witnessing a new and savage chapter of violations against innocent civilians and infrastructure.

We affirm that this war of extermination, now lasting more than twenty-two months, could not continue without the green light given by the American administration. Washington bears full responsibility as a partner to Netanyahu’s crimes, and must reconsider a policy that history will judge with unforgiving clarity.

We call upon the international community, the United Nations, and Arab and Islamic states to abandon their silence and act immediately to halt the fascist occupation’s campaign across Gaza City and the entire Strip, a campaign waged under the delusion of “Greater Israel.”

And we address the Arab and Islamic peoples, and the free peoples of the world: rise in solidarity with Gaza. Reject the occupation’s massacres, fill the streets and squares, and exert maximum pressure to stop this ongoing war of extermination.

DropSide News: The Higher Presidential Committee for Church Affairs in Palestine warns that Israel is practicing “a systematic policy aimed at eradicating Christian presence in Palestine and stripping the land of its historic religious institutions.”

In a letter addressed to Christian leaders worldwide, the Committee points to Israel’s August 6, 2025 decision to freeze all bank accounts of the Greek Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem and impose new taxes on its properties — moves that have blocked salaries for clergy, teachers, and staff. The Committee described the move as “an unprecedented assault on the churches of the Holy Land, [and] a direct attack on the Orthodox Patriarchate in Jerusalem.”

Committee head Ramzi Khouri says these measures “severely threaten the Church’s ability to provide spiritual, humanitarian, and community services,” calling them a violation of the historic Status Quo and international law.

The committee also cites Israeli settlement expansion on Orthodox lands near the Monastery of Saint Gerasimus (Deir Hijleh) outside Jericho, warning it is part of a broader plan to “erase Palestine’s Christian and historical identity.”

Israeli forces fire at local officials in southern Lebanon district
Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reports from the Hasbaya district in the southern part of the country that Israeli forces opened fire on local officials earlier today.

It said the mayor of a locality in the area “miraculously survived” after being targeted by machinegun fire coming in from Israeli positions while accompanying another local official.

The area is close to the border with Israel. The Israeli army, which continues to carry out assassinations and bombings on Lebanese soil despite a ceasefire reached with Hezbollah last year, has not commented.

NNA also reported earlier today that an Israeli drone flew at low altitudes over several areas in the Nabatieh and Marjayoun districts in southern Lebanon. It said an Israeli helicopter dropped a sound bomb on the town of Ramya in Tyre as well, without any injuries reported.

Las Vegas police question Israel’s cyber division head over child solicitation case
A senior Israeli intelligence official working directly under Benjamin Netanyahu was arrested, and released, by US authorities even though he and several others are facing felony charges over attempting to lure children to meet for sexual purposes.

Las Vegas police confirmed that 38-year-old Tom Artiom Alexandrovich was among eight arrested men, all of whom now face felony charges of luring a child with a computer for a sex act.

The suspects were released, but indictments are expected to be filed against them, police said. Israeli media reported that Alexandrovich, who was arrested while attending a professional conference in the US, has since returned to Israel.

A publicly posted screenshot of Alexandrovich’s page on LinkedIn, which has since been deleted, described him as the executive director of the Israel Cyber Directorate, an Israeli government agency working under direct authority of the office of the prime minister.

Israeli newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth said officials downplayed the incident and said it carried “no political implications”. Israeli media cited the Cyber Directorate as saying it had agreed with the official that he would be placed on leave until the issue is clarified.

Israeli drone crashes west of Gaza City
An Israeli drone has crashed in the Remal neighbourhood in the west of Gaza City due to a technical malfunction, our colleagues on the ground are reporting.

Footage from the scene showed the drone, which resembled a small plane, crashing in the middle of a busy street. Passersby jumped on the drone before carrying it away.

The Israeli Broadcasting Authority reported that the drone was an intelligence-gathering one being operated by Israeli army artillery units when it crashed due to a malfunction.

Starved Gaza woman dies after humanitarian flight to Italy hospital
A young Palestinian woman who was flown from Gaza to an Italian hospital in a severely emaciated state for treatment has died, according to the University Hospital of Pisa.

The 20-year-old, identified by Italian media reports as Marah Abu Zuhri, arrived in Pisa on an Italian government humanitarian flight overnight into Thursday. The hospital said she had a “very complex clinical picture” and suffered from serious wasting, which is when a person has significant weight and muscle loss.

On Friday, after undergoing tests and starting treatment, she died after a sudden respiratory crisis and cardiac arrest.

The woman was flown to Italy with her mother on one of three Italian air force flights that arrived this week in Rome, Milan and Pisa, carrying a total of 31 patients and their companions. All suffered from serious congenital diseases, wounds or amputations, according to the Italian foreign ministry.

Talks to resettle Gaza Palestinians in South Sudan ongoing: Report
Talks between South Sudan and Israel to resettle Palestinians are ongoing, Reuters reports.

Three sources, who have knowledge of the matter but spoke on condition of anonymity, told the news agency that no agreement had been reached so far.

The plan, if carried further, would entail moving Palestinians from Gaza to the African country riven by years of political and ethnically driven violence.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said earlier this month he intended to extend military control in Gaza and that Palestinians should leave the territory voluntarily. Arab and world leaders have rejected the idea of moving Gaza’s population to any country.

Vigil in Berlin honours slain Al Jazeera journalists
Journalists and political activists held a vigil in Berlin to honour Al Jazeera staff killed by Israel in the Gaza Strip and to denounce Germany’s support of Israel’s military campaign in the enclave.

Participants displayed photographs of the slain journalists, placed white roses and lit candles beside the images. Organisers read the final testament of Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and recited the names of all 270 journalists killed in Gaza since the war began on October 7, 2023.

Al-Sharif and colleague Mohammed Qreiqeh were killed Sunday, alongside three camera operators from the network and a local freelance reporter, when Israel struck a journalists’ tent near the al-Shifa Hospital in western Gaza City, according to the Gaza Government Media Office.

UK prosecutors target 60 supporters of banned Palestine Action group
At least 60 people will be prosecuted for “showing support” for the recently proscribed Palestine Action group, in addition to three already charged, London’s Metropolitan Police has said.

“We have put arrangements in place that will enable us to investigate and prosecute significant numbers each week if necessary,” the Met said in a statement.

More than 700 people have been arrested since it was banned under anti-terrorism legislation in early July, including 522 people arrested at a protest last weekend for displaying placards backing the group – thought to be the highest ever recorded number of detentions at a single protest in the UK capital.

“The decisions that we have announced today are the first significant numbers to come out of the recent protests, and many more can be expected in the next few weeks,” said Director of Public Prosecutions Stephen Parkinson.

“People should be clear about the real-life consequences for anyone choosing to support Palestine Action,” said Parkinson.

Israeli families demonstrate for release of captives, prepare for general strike
Demonstrators have begun pouring into the streets in Israeli cities as they protest the government for another week to reach a comprehensive deal with Hamas to end the war on Gaza and bring back all those still held in the enclave.

Many thousands are expected to gather one more time, mainly in Tel Aviv, and the families of captives have been releasing more videos online to demand their return, some of them asking for assistance from Donald Trump.

On Sunday, the families are organising a general strike to bring routine activity in Israel to a halt in an effort to pressure the government to move towards an agreement.

Organisers said “hundreds of citizen initiatives will take place, halting activities and joining the most just and moral struggle” to bring back the 50 captives, about 20 of whom are believed to be alive.

Israeli army considering recruiting from abroad amid soldier shortage
Israel’s military is weighing a plan to enlist young Jewish people from abroad to offset what officials describe as a severe shortage of soldiers, Army Radio has reported.

The move comes as the military struggles with a shortfall of 10,000 to 12,000 troops, driven largely by the refusal of ultra-Orthodox Jews, or Haredim, to serve.

Haredim, who account for about 13 percent of Israel’s population of 10 million, reject compulsory service, saying they dedicate their lives to Torah study and warning that integration into secular society would erode their religious identity.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s bid to advance legislation granting blanket exemptions for Haredim has drawn resistance from the coalition and opposition lawmakers alike, with critics denouncing the plan as discriminatory.

According to the Army Radio, the military intends to target major Jewish communities abroad for recruitment, particularly in the United States and France, with the aim of adding about 700 recruits each year.

The shortage has compounded wider problems for Israel’s armed forces, including equipment deficits and a reserve system strained by months of fighting in Gaza. Many reservists have reported psychological issues and exhaustion linked to the war.

Five Palestinians die from malnutrition in 24 hours
The Health Ministry in Gaza says five Palestinians have died due to malnutrition in the past 24 hours, including two children.

This brings the total death toll from starvation and malnutrition since Israel’s war on Gaza began to 263, including 112 children.

Killings at aid sites in Gaza behind surge in deaths, MSF says
Doctors Without Borders, known by its French initials MSF, says its staff in Gaza are witnessing a surge in mass casualties linked to Israel’s ongoing siege and its distribution of aid.

“The indiscriminate killings, and the counts of mass casualties we still [see] on a daily basis right now, hasn’t stopped, but only increased in its scale,” said Nour Alsaqqa of MSF.

She said one MSF facility in Rafah, located near an aid distribution centre, has been overwhelmed with wounded Palestinians, including children.

“We are receiving baby injuries and killings from the distribution sites. People who are coming with gunshots, with different injuries, related to the distribution sites and they go only seeking food,” she said.

Air-dropped aid box kills elderly man in Gaza

An elderly man has died of injuries sustained when an aid box fell on a tent for displaced people in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, Nasser Hospital has reported.

Several people have been killed or injured by air-dropped aid pallets in Gaza in recent weeks.

“They go out of desperation and they risk their lives to access aid, which is still inaccessible due to Israel’s siege.”

Since the establishment of the GHF aid sites at the end of May, nearly 2,000 people have been killed while trying to access aid, according to the Gaza Health Ministry.

Israeli lawmakers condemn Australia for blocking entry of far-right politician
Israeli ministers have criticised Australia for banning far-right Knesset member Simcha Rothman from entering the country.

National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir wrote on X that “the active support provided by the Australian government to Hamas and terrorists, and the ban on Knesset member Simcha Rothman, constitutes a historical stain and a disgrace on the Australian government.”

He added: “The jeers from Israeli left-wing activists, collaborators with Hamas, and those distorting Israel’s image in the world are a scandal that will never be erased from them.”

Benny Gantz, leader of the opposition Blue and White party, also criticised Canberra’s move.

“Although there are significant political and ideological differences between me and Knesset member Simcha Rothman, Australia’s decision to prevent him from entering is not only extremely wrong but blatantly hypocritical,” he said.

Earlier, Australia Home Affairs Minister Tony Burke said Rothman’s visa application was rejected and he would not be able to apply again for three years.

“If you are coming to Australia to spread a message of hate and division, we don’t want you here,” Burke said.

Rothman, a Knesset member from the Religious Zionism party and part of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition, has called for Israel’s full control of the occupied West Bank and the displacement of Palestinians in Gaza.

The National, Scotland, NEW: Pro-Palestine protesters have blockaded the entrance to a defence firm factory in Edinburgh

PRO-PALESTINE protesters have blockaded the entrance to a defence firm factory in Edinburgh.

Leonardo, an Italian company on Crewe Road, supplies military technology to Israel.

This incudes components for F-35 fighter jets, which have been used to bomb Gaza.

Shortly after 6am on Monday, campaigners from the Shut Down Leonardo Edinburgh group could be seen parking a van at the site.

They added: "I'm locked on to the top of the van. We're looking to shut down the factory for as long as possible."

The protest comes after the group took similar action on July 15, when protesters drove a van into the security fence of the same factory.

Images showed the front of the vehicle sticking through the fence, with a Palestinian flag draped over the rear of the vehicle.

Three women were subsequently charged under the Terrorism Act.

A Police Scotland spokesperson said: "Around 6.15am on Monday, August 18, we were called to a report of a protest outside a business premises in the Crewe Road North area of Edinburgh.

"Officers are in attendance and enquiries are ongoing."

Israel bombs southern Lebanon, wounding four Syrians
At least four Syrian workers were injured after an Israeli drone dropped a bomb in Wadi al-Asafir, near stone factories in Khiam, Lebanon’s Health Ministry says.

Daily Israeli attacks in south Lebanon in violation of last year’s ceasefire agreement have not relented as the Lebanese government pushes to disarm Hezbollah.

‘Beyond despicable’: US ban on visas for children from Gaza sparks uproar
The US State Department has halted visitor visas, including medical-humanitarian visas, for children from Gaza, amid a full policy review. The suspension specifically impacts critically ill and wounded children seeking urgent treatment in the US.

The move came after pressure from far-right activist and Trump ally Laura Loomer, who posted videos falsely portraying the children as a “security threat”.

Loomer said she raised the issue with US Secretary of State Marco Rubio, after which the suspension was announced. Rubio defended the decision, citing concerns about alleged links between aid groups and Hamas, without providing any evidence of the claims.

The move has triggered widespread condemnation from humanitarian organisations including Heal Palestine and the Palestine Children’s Relief Fund, who stressed that the programme only brings children temporarily to the US for treatment before they return home.

The World Health Organization (WHO) has also warned that thousands of critically ill patients in Gaza urgently require care unavailable in the battered enclave, and rights groups have denounced the halt as inhumane and politically motivated.

The decision to cut visas comes as Israel intensifies its attacks on Gaza, with the UN warning that “widespread starvation, malnutrition and disease” are driving a rise in Israeli-induced, famine-related deaths.

Hamas accepts new ceasefire proposal mediated by Egypt and Qatar: Source
A source tells Al Jazeera Arabic that Hamas has accepted a new ceasefire proposal put forward by Egypt and Qatar, the two countries leading mediation efforts between the group and Israel.

A Hamas source told Al Jazeera: “We informed the mediators of our approval of their proposal, which was presented yesterday.”

The move came as Qatar’s Prime Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman bin Jassim Al Thani held talks with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi in Cairo to discuss the push for a ceasefire in Gaza.

Israeli forces demolish Palestinian buildings in West Bank
Israeli forces have razed several commercial establishments in the Anab al-Kabira area, south of Hebron in the occupied West Bank.

Israeli soldiers stormed in with military bulldozers and other heavy machinery, closed the road leading to the demolished facilities and fired tear gas at Palestinians in the area, the Wafa news agency reported.

They also set up a military checkpoint at the entrance to the town and locked it down for some time.

Another raid was reported in al-Khader, south of Bethlehem, during which Israeli forces demolished two structures belonging to a resident under the pretext that they were not properly licensed.

In Jenin, Israeli authorities handed notices to a number of warehouses in the southern part of the city, telling them they lacked building permits and must immediately halt construction.

Hamas’s Qassam Brigades said its fighters detonated explosives in the same area against Israeli soldiers and vehicles. The group said the Israeli military was forced to evacuate dead and wounded soldiers and damaged equipment while under heavy fire.

Manhunt under way near Ramallah after shooting near illegal Israeli outpost: Army
We reported earlier, based on an Israeli army report, that there was a “security incident” near the illegal Israeli outpost of Malachei HaShalom in the occupied West Bank, near Ramallah.

The army now reports that “a terrorist” – referring to a Palestinian person – fired at Israeli settlers on the edge of the illegal Israeli outpost of Adei Ad, about 5km (3.1 miles) from Malachei HaShalom, prompting “a violent confrontation” between the alleged attacker and Israeli settlers.

“An Israeli citizen was lightly injured during the incident, and was evacuated to a hospital to receive medical treatment,” the statement published on Telegram said in English.

It added that the Israeli soldiers have encircled the Palestinian village of al-Mughayyir, located 5.5km (3.4 miles) from Adei Ad, “along with additional areas and are currently conducting searches to locate the terrorist”.

Hamas calls for Palestinians to defend Al-Aqsa Mosque on 56th anniversary of arson attack
The Palestinian group has issued a statement marking the 56th anniversary of a 1969 arson attack on Al-Aqsa Mosque.

The attack was carried out by an Australian Christian living in Israel who said he hoped to enable Israel to build its temple there.

In its statement, Hamas warned against what it described as ongoing Israeli attempts to “obliterate” the site’s “Islamic identity”.

“The city of Jerusalem and Al-Aqsa Mosque will remain the symbol of the struggle against the Zionist enemy and the compass of the unity of our people and our nation in defending and supporting them, and in solidarity with its people and those stationed there, until they are liberated from the desecration of the occupation,” Hamas said.

The group urged Palestinians across Jerusalem and the occupied West Bank to travel to Al-Aqsa “to defend it and to remain in seclusion there. They must confront all attempts by extremists to storm and desecrate it and thwart their plans.”

Israeli official’s arrest, flight from US prompts fury among Trump supporters
The arrest and flight from the US of an Israeli cybersecurity official who was caught in a child sex setup has sharpened Republican divisions over Washington’s relationship with Israel amid the Gaza war.

Earlier this month, Tom Artiom Alexandrovich, who headed a division at the Israel National Cyber Directorate, was arrested after trying to meet a 15-year-old girl for “sexual contact”, police said.

He posted bail and fled for Israel before his court date. The US State Department denied the US government intervened in any way.

But Republican lawmakers such as Marjorie Taylor Greene and Thomas Massie, along with major right-wing commentators like Tucker Carlson, cast the case as part of a wider pattern of US deference to Israel and demanded Alexandrovich be extradited.

“The most concerning question is when and how did America become so subservient to Israel that we immediately release a CHILD SEX PREDATOR after arrest,” wrote Greene, one of Trump’s most vocal supporters, in a post on X, in which she also criticised a State Department decision to halt visitor visas for Palestinians from Gaza, including for children who need medical care.

Israeli Foreign Ministry announces new diplomatic outreach amid Gaza war criticism: Report
The initiative aims to bring hundreds of international delegations to Israel before the year’s end “to help spread the Israeli narrative in international media”, The Times of Israel newspaper is reporting based on an Israeli Foreign Ministry statement.

“As part of the battle of perception against the global anti-Israel narrative,” Israel expects about 400 delegations – involving more than 5,000 participants – to visit by December, the newspaper quoted the ministry statement as saying. The plan is estimated to cost $40m, the report said.

In past years, the figure averaged just 25 delegations annually, the ministry added.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed more than 62,000 people as the Israeli army continues to besiege the coastal enclave, creating a severe hunger crisis.

On August 14, more than 100 aid organisations, including prominent groups such as Oxfam, Doctors Without Borders (MSF), Amnesty International, and the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC), condemned Israel’s weaponisation of aid, saying it was obstructing life-saving assistance from entering Gaza.

Armed Palestinian groups in Lebanon’s refugee camps to begin handing over weapons today: Committee
Armed Palestinian groups based in Lebanon’s refugee camps will start handing over their weapons to authorities today, as per a May agreement, according to a joint committee tasked with implementing Lebanese government policy relating to Palestinian refugees.

“Today marks the beginning of the first phase of the process of handing over weapons from inside the Palestinian camps,” Lebanese-Palestinian Dialogue Committee chairman Ramez Dimashkieh said in a statement.

The process would start with the Burj al-Barajneh camp in Beirut, where an initial batch of weapons would be transferred to the Lebanese army, Dimashkieh added.

The transfer comes after Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas visited Beirut in May and struck an agreement with Lebanese President Joseph Aoun that all arms in Palestinian camps would be surrendered to the state.

But while Abbas’s Palestinian Authority exercises power over the Fatah movement, that does not extend to the remaining factions in the camps, most notably Hamas.

Lebanon hosts about 222,000 Palestinian refugees, according to UNRWA, with many living in overcrowded camps outside of the state’s control.

Fatah leader in Lebanon says cooperating with disarmament
As we’ve been reporting, armed Palestinian factions inside Lebanon’s refugee camps began handing over weapons to the state today, part of an agreement that was reached in May.

Badie al-Habit, a leading Fatah member in Burj al-Barajneh, a Palestinian refugee camp in the southern suburbs of Beirut, says that he can only speak for his party’s involvement in the disarmament.

“This concerns the factions of the Palestine Liberation Organization, the Palestinian national security forces, and the Fatah movement. As for other factions in other locations with different affiliations, the decision [to hand over weapons] is in other places,” he told AFP news agency.

“In principle, what will be handed over is illegal weapons. The arms entered the camp illegally and pose a danger to our people in the camp and to the Lebanese neighbourhoods. Some of the weapons are old and some are new.”

Lebanon hosts about 222,000 Palestinian refugees, according to UNRWA, with many living in overcrowded camps outside of the state’s control.

UK complicit in Gaza genocide: Jonathon Porritt, ex-adviser to King Charles
Anealla Safdar
Reporting from London, UK

Jonathon Porritt, a 75-year-old Oxford-educated environmentalist, is among the hundreds of people that the UK has cracked down on over their support of Palestine Action.

He was arrested and charged earlier this month, under Section 13 of the Terrorism Act, for holding up a sign at a rally decrying the government’s decision to outlaw the protest group.

“I oppose genocide, I support Palestine Action,” read the cardboard placard that he, and many of the 520 others arrested, raised.

His bail hearing is scheduled for late October. But Porritt is not a hardened criminal.

He spent 30 years advising the king on environmental issues when the monarch held the title “Prince of Wales”. He has also chaired a sustainable development commission set up by former Prime Minister Tony Blair, and throughout his career has worked in politics, academia and directed Friends of the Earth. In 2000, he was awarded a CBE – Commander of the Most Excellent Order of the British Empire, a high-ranking order – for services to environmental protection.

Reuters journalists accuse newswire of pro-Israel bias
Exclusive: Insiders at the world’s largest news agency reveal their battles with management over covering Palestine.

When Israel assassinated Palestinian journalist Anas al-Sharif earlier this month, the Reuters news agency ran a report titled: “Israel kills Al Jazeera journalist it says was Hamas leader”.

They chose that headline despite the fact al-Sharif used to work for them – he was part of a Reuters team that won a 2024 Pulitzer Prize.

Instances like this caused a backlash online, but also sparked concern among some staff at the influential global newswire, which was founded in London in 1851 and now has a daily audience of more than a billion.

Multiple Reuters employees have spoken to Declassified about what they see as pro-Israel bias among the company’s editors and management. All requested anonymity to avoid reprisals.

Another, a desk editor, resigned around August 2024, telling colleagues in an email: “Through covering what we call the Israel-Hamas war, I’ve realized that my values don’t align with those of the company.”

In the email, they also said,“ I’ve attached a report…and an open letter some colleagues and I sent to management in the hopes that Reuters will uphold basic journalistic principles, but I now recognize that senior leadership is unlikely to change, much less stop actively stifling critiques.”

Heather Carpenter, a senior director of communications at Reuters, denied to Declassified that the company ever received this letter.

However, a Reuters source told Declassified: “A few weeks after the Oct. 7 attack, several journalists at Reuters recognized that our coverage of the Israel-Gaza war lacked objectivity.”

“In response, a group of journalists—while working full-time—undertook a comprehensive internal investigation, conducting both quantitative and qualitative analyses of our reporting.”

“The findings formed the basis of an open letter, which was shared internally to identify and connect journalists within the newsroom who are committed to strengthening Reuters’ journalism on Gaza.”

Their internal study, seen by Declassified, analysed 499 reports tagged as “Israel-Palestine” published between 7 October and 14 November 2023.

They found a “consistent pattern of assigning more resources to covering stories affecting Israelis as opposed to Palestinians.” At the time of their analysis, over 11,000 Palestinians in Gaza had reportedly been killed, around ten times the number of Israeli fatalities.

The latest death toll as per the Gaza Ministry of Health is nearly 62,000. The actual numbers are expected to be about three times higher.

They further questioned why Reuters had not reported more on claims by experts that Israel was committing genocide in Gaza, contrasting it with how the newswire approached such allegations about Russia’s conduct in Ukraine.

Its authors also complained that “one clear-cut example of how our wording implies bias is in our choice to prohibit use of ‘Palestine’…While Palestine may not be recognized as a state in some Western countries, we do not need to pretend that it is not a real place.”

Reuters management did not respond to Declassified’s questions about whether any recommendations from the internal study had been accepted.

From August 22nd:

Gaza City and surrounding areas experiencing famine: UN-backed body
A famine is occurring in Gaza City and its surrounding areas, according to the international system for monitoring world hunger and food security.

The UN-backed scale, known as the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), has raised its classification for Gaza governorate to Phase 5, the highest level, which is characterised by starvation, destitution and death.

The same classification is projected to be extended to Deir el-Balah in central Gaza and Khan Younis in the south by the end of September.

At this point, more than 500,000 people throughout Gaza are living under Phase 5 conditions, an IPC report said.

Another 1.07 million people, or 54 percent of Gaza’s population, are classified as being under Phase 4, or “emergency” conditions, while 396,000 people (20 percent) are under Phase 3, or “crisis” conditions.

UN blames Gaza famine on Israel’s ‘systematic obstruction’ of aid
The famine in Gaza should “haunt us all” and was entirely preventable had the UN not been systematically prevented from bringing in food, the UN aid chief says.

“It is a famine that we could have prevented if we had been allowed, yet food stacks up at borders because of systematic obstruction by Israel,” Tom Fletcher told reporters in the Swiss city of Geneva.

At least 130,000 children under 5 face acute malnutrition: IPC
At least 132,000 children under five in Gaza are expected to suffer from acute malnutrition through June, according to the latest IPC snapshot on the food crisis in the territory.

That’s more than double the May estimate from the IPC, the international system for monitoring world hunger and food security.

This includes more than 41,000 severe cases of children at heightened risk of death.

The report said “large segments” of Gaza’s population are consuming diets “that fall extremely short in both nutritional quantity and quality”.

“Nutrition supplies for treating and preventing acute malnutrition are close to depletion due to entry restrictions, which may force health facilities to halt treatment,” it said.

Nearly 55,500 malnourished pregnant and breastfeeding women also will require an urgent nutrition response, the IPC said.

More from IPC report on Gaza famine
The IPC report has identified four key drivers of the famine afflicting Gaza, in which 641,000 Palestinians are projected to be experiencing Phase 5, or catastrophic, conditions by the end of September.

These include the escalating conflict, which has resulted in more than 62,000 deaths and 155,000 injuries, and the ensuing forced displacement, which has seen nearly 800,000 Palestinians driven to new locations since mid-March.

The report said 1.9 million people – or 90 percent of the population – have been displaced multiple times since the start of the war, leaving most families living in unsafe, overcrowded conditions and others sleeping in the open.

Restricted access was another key factor, the report said, with access to both humanitarian and commercial supplies of food and other essential goods “critically restricted” since mid-March.

The report said a so-called “tactical pause” announced on July 27 had “failed to improve conditions as violence continued throughout the Strip, including airstrikes, shelling, and shooting”.

Finally, the report said Gaza has experienced a “food system collapse” with more than 98 percent of the cropland in the territory damaged or inaccessible, livestock decimated, fishing banned, cash scarce and market prices unaffordable.

Famine in Gaza ‘entirely man-made’, requires ceasefire, aid rollout to reverse: IPC
The famine in Gaza is “entirely man-made” and can be “halted and reversed”, the IPC’s Famine Review Committee says, but it requires an “immediate, at-scale response” to do so.

“The time for debate and hesitation has passed, starvation is present and is rapidly spreading,” the committee said in a report.

“There should be no doubt in anyone’s mind that an immediate, at-scale response is needed. Any further delay – even by days – will result in a totally unacceptable escalation of famine-related mortality.”

The report goes on to warn that “avoidable deaths will increase exponentially” unless a ceasefire is implemented to allow in humanitarian aid and restore the delivery of food and basic supplies to Gaza’s population immediately.

The committee said the report marked the fifth time it had been called to review an analysis on Gaza’s food crisis, noting that it had never been required to return so many times to the same crisis before.

The report said that was “a stark reflection of how suffering has not only persisted but intensified and spread until famine has begun to emerge” in Gaza.

Leaked Israeli intelligence on Gaza civilian deaths paints unsurprising picture
Classified Israeli military intelligence figures showing that 83 percent of those killed in Gaza were civilians are appalling, but no great surprise, says an analyst.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Lorenzo Kamel, a history professor at the University of Turin, said the leaked documents painted a picture of indiscriminate slaughter that tallied with the reports out of Gaza, as well as research on the war.

Those studies included a 2025 study by The Lancet medical publication that found life expectancy in Gaza had dropped from a pre-war level of 75.5 years to about 40.5 years in the first year of the war.

“We didn’t need … this [leaked Israeli data] to confirm what is happening,” he said. “It was pretty obvious that the situation was this.”

Rights groups and genocide scholars argue the leaked data – revealing an extremely high rate of civilian deaths – supports claims that Israel is committing genocide in Gaza.

Australia expels Iranian ambassador
——
Australia on Tuesday accused Iran of being behind two 'anti-Semitic arson attacks' in Sydney and Melbourne, and ordered Tehran's ambassador to leave the country within seven days, the first expulsion of its kind since World War II.

Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said the Australian Security Intelligence Organisation (ASIO) had obtained credible evidence that Iran orchestrated at least two of the incidents.

"These were extraordinary and dangerous acts of aggression orchestrated by a foreign nation on Australian soil," Albanese told reporters. "They were attempts to undermine social cohesion and sow fbi.gov in our community."

According to Albanese, Iran attempted to "disguise its involvement" in the 2023 arson attacks on a kosher restaurant in Sydney and the Adass Israel Synagogue in Melbourne. No casualties were recorded.

(Reuters)

See vid rel. Every indication is that, if an outside country was involved, that country was the very same one which has been faking "anti-semitic attacks" for decades, including this year, and including in Australia. Iran has the second highest Jewish population in the region, and has no such pattern of doing this sort of thing, nor does Iran have any tactical or political reason to target random synagogues in Australia. "Israel" has used such false flags for decades to sow fear and encourage Jewish migration.

Microsoft requests FBI help to shut down anti-genocide protests: Report
Current and former employees say Microsoft’s Azure cloud platform is aiding the Israeli genocide of Palestinians in Gaza

Microsoft has asked the FBI for assistance in monitoring demonstrations by employees demanding the company cut its ties with Israel, according to documents cited in a Bloomberg report published on 26 August.

In emails seen by Bloomberg, a company director of investigations asked the FBI for intelligence on planned demonstrations.

The official highlighted former employee Hossam Nasr as “quite active in his posts targeting Microsoft and that we are complicit in genocide,” and noted the company had identified a handful of employees tied to the protests, including one of their children.

The FBI’s Seattle office said it respects the right to peaceful protest and only acts on criminal activity or threats to national security. The bureau declined to confirm any interactions with Microsoft.

Last week, 20 people were arrested at the company’s Redmond headquarters for demonstrating and blocking the plaza entrance. Protesters declared a “liberated zone,” set up tents, chanted, linked arms, refused police orders, and called on colleagues to join them.

Microsoft President Brad Smith said the company welcomed discussion but would not tolerate disruptions.

“To have them engaging in vandalism and destructive behavior obviously makes clear that this aspect of the issue is no longer about dialogue with employees. It’s a matter for law enforcement, and that’s how we’re treating it,” he told Bloomberg.

Microsoft reinforced that stance at its Build conference in Seattle, where public areas were closed, airport-style security was imposed, and employees who interrupted executive speeches, including one by Chief Executive Officer Satya Nadella, were removed or dismissed.

Organizers say around 200 current and former staff remain engaged enough to sustain periodic protests.

Smith noted that most protesters were not Microsoft employees, unlike No Azure for Apartheid – the protest network of current and former staff, who accuse the company of profiting from Israel’s assault on Gaza by selling software and artificial intelligence tools to its military.

“These are technological weapons. Cloud and AI are just as deadly as bombs and bullets,” said activist Vaniya Agrawal, who resigned earlier this year and was later arrested during a demonstration.

The pressure forced Microsoft to open inquiries into its contracts with Israel. In May, it insisted it found “no evidence” its software had been used to target Palestinians.

Investigations by The Guardian, +972 Magazine, and Local Call revealed that Israel’s Unit 8200 stored millions of intercepted Palestinian phone calls on Microsoft’s Azure servers.

Unit 8200 sources confirmed that intelligence drawn from the repositories of calls had been used to research and identify bombing targets in Gaza.

The unit was also directly involved in the large-scale pager terror attack against Lebanon that killed 42 people, including two children, and wounded over 3,500.

The company launched a new independent review on 15 August, pledging to release the findings once complete, though activists dismissed it as a delaying tactic.

UN Security Council to vote on future of Lebanon peacekeeping force
The UN Security Council is set to vote on a France-drafted resolution that would extend the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) until August 31, 2026, while preparing for its eventual withdrawal.

Deployed in 1978 to separate Israel and Lebanon, UNIFIL has been tasked with maintaining calm in southern Lebanon.

The latest draft text says the Security Council intends “to work on a withdrawal of UNIFIL with the aim of making the Lebanese Government the sole provider of security in southern Lebanon”.

Under the agreement that ended the most recent war between Israel and Hezbollah, Lebanon’s army has been deploying in the south and dismantling Hezbollah’s infrastructure. Israel, however, was meant to withdraw completely, but continues to carry out attacks across Lebanon.

The draft resolution also “condemns the incidents that affected United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon premises and forces, injuring several peacekeepers”, a reference to Israeli strikes on UNIFIL positions. Israel is not specifically named in the text.

Before the vote on Monday, a senior UN official warned that “to completely eliminate [UNIFIL’s] capacity at this point, or very quickly, would not serve anybody in the region,” calling any abrupt withdrawal risky.

Nearly 40 killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza since dawn

Among the dead, eight were aid seekers.

Inger Ashing, CEO of Save the Children International, has also told the UN Security Council that the NGO’s clinics in Gaza “are overwhelmed by need, every bench packed with malnourished children and their mothers, yet our clinics are almost silent now. Children do not have the strength to speak or even cry out in agony.”

“They lie there, emaciated, quite literally wasting away – their tiny bodies overcome by hunger and disease, the medical and specialised nutrition supplies they need all but used up,” she said.

“A few kilometres away stand ready a sea of supplies, thousands upon thousands of truckloads of lifesaving items, all blocked,” she said.

“These past few weeks, more and more children have shared that they wish to be dead. One child wrote, ‘I wish I were in heaven, where my mother is. In heaven, there is love. There is food and water.'”

Pressure mounts on UN high commissioner after staff letter calls for genocide acknowledgement
By Gabriel Elizondo
Reporting from New York City, US

This letter was transmitted from staff members of the Office of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights to the high commissioner, Volker Turk, in Geneva.

The letter says, “the High Commissioner for Human Rights has a strong legal and moral responsibility to denounce acts of genocide, failing to denounce an unfolding genocide undermines the credibility of the UN and the human rights system itself.”

We’re being told that about 515 staff members of the Office of the High Commissioner for Human Rights globally have signed this letter. If true, that would be about a quarter of the global staff from this office.

This is part of a growing movement, if you will, within the UN: Staff members urging the UN as a body to call what’s taking place in Gaza a genocide.

So, this is all part of that, that we’ve been seeing building momentum in the last few weeks and months.

The UN Security Council has unanimously extended a long-running peacekeeping mission in Lebanon until the end of 2026 when the operation will then begin a yearlong “orderly and safe drawdown and withdrawal”.

The UN Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL), established in 1978, monitors cessation of hostilities in southern Lebanon, supports the Lebanese armed forces, facilitates humanitarian access, and helps ensure the area is free of unauthorised armed personnel, weapons and infrastructure.

In a statement, Lebanese Prime Minister Nawaf Salam welcomed the decision, thanking the council for the additional year and four months of operations.

He encouraged more international support for the Lebanese army after the drawdown and said that today’s council resolution called on Israel to withdraw from the five positions it still occupies in southern Lebanon.

GDF - Israel in Movies
A really interesting look at the longstanding zionist role in Hollywood. Some notable things include the bit about the terroristic attacks carried out by the "Jewish Defense League" against Vanessa Redgrave, the influence of Israeli propaganda on Cecil B. Demille's Biblical epics (Samson and Delilah is apparently based partly on something by Mussolini collaborator Jabotinsky, the creator of "revisionist zionism"), Jane Fonda's disturbing zionist leanings, and much more.

Hebrew sources concede that Hamas fighters are rising from beneath the rubble like ghosts, hitting occupation forces with precision kill-shots, and melting back into the underground before a counterstrike can land.

This is Gaza’s insurgent warfare at full force, pre-set kill zones, tunnel-fed strike teams, and fire patterns calibrated to shred any unit foolish enough to push forward.

Every street is a choke point, every ruin a sniper’s nest, every approach a death corridor. The occupier advances under the illusion of control, only to be cut down and left grasping at an enemy that refuses to be fixed, broken, or erased.

——
Germany has urged its citizens to leave Iran and avoid traveling there, warning of "countermeasures" by Tehran in response to Berlin’s role in activating UN sanctions on Iran over its nuclear program.

"As Iranian government representatives have repeatedly threatened with consequences in this case, it cannot be ruled out that German interests and nationals will be affected by countermeasures in Iran," the foreign ministry said in a statement on its website Thursday.

Genocide Denial "Journalism" | Noah Samsen

Thousands gathering in Detroit for People’s Conference for Palestine
Al Jazeera’s Shihab Rattansi is in the US city of Detroit for the second annual People’s Conference for Palestine, a three-day series of seminars and other events aimed at strengthening support for Palestinians.

“It really feels larger than last year. Some 4,000 people have registered,” Rattansi said from one of the conference halls, which has been named after Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif, who was killed in a targeted Israeli attack in Gaza this month.

“There is a very interesting discussion under way right now about how to turn … [a] new understanding of the Israeli genocide into more practical calls not just for a ceasefire but for an arms embargo,” Rattansi said.

Yemen’s Houthis confirm PM, ministers killed in Israeli strike
A statement from the Houthi group in Yemen has confirmed reports that the PM of the areas controlled by the group, Ahmed Ghaleb al-Rahwi, was killed in Israeli air strikes on Thursday.

The politician was killed along with an unspecified number of his cabinet ministers while holding a routine meeting in the capital, Sanaa, the Houthi presidency said.

Israeli offensive increases chances of capturing more soldiers: Qassam Brigades
Abu Obeida, the spokesman of Hamas’s military wing, said Israel’s plans to occupy Gaza will be a “disaster for its political and military leadership”.

“This will increase the chances of capturing new soldiers. Our fighters are in a state of alert, preparedness and high morale,” he said.

On the fate of Israeli captives held in Gaza, Abu Obeida said they will safeguard them “as much as we can”.

“They will be with our fighters in places of confrontation, in the same conditions of danger and living. We will announce every captive killed by the acts of aggression, providing their name, photo and proof of their death.”

Israeli army losses in Gaza City a ‘significant tactical setback’
The ambush on Israeli forces in Gaza City that killed one soldier and left four missing is a “significant tactical setback” for the Israeli army, which undermines the Israeli government’s messaging about the strength of Hamas, says a Middle East security expert.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Rodger Shanahan said the fighting in Gaza City’s Zeitoun neighbourhood, in which 11 Israeli soldiers were also seriously injured, showed clearly that Hamas’s capabilities had not been destroyed, which was a stated aim of the Netanyahu government.

“Areas like that favour the defender,” he said, adding that the clashes showed “just how difficult it is to conduct urban warfare.

“Capturing Israeli soldiers appears to be one of the tactical aims of Palestinian fighters at the moment.”

He said the fallout from any setback in the military campaign would have political ramifications for Netanyahu and his cabinet, given that the Israeli military had voiced opposition to the Gaza City campaign.

Seven Israeli soldiers injured in IED attack
Israeli media is reporting that at least seven soldiers have been injured, three in serious condition, in recent attacks in Gaza, one of which involved an IED blast targeting an armoured personnel carrier.

Baby girl dies of malnutrition in Gaza
A baby girl has died of malnutrition, a source at Gaza City’s al-Shifa Hospital has told Al Jazeera, becoming the latest victim of the Israeli-forced famine in Gaza.

Ten Palestinians starve to death in Gaza in 24 hours
Gaza’s Health Ministry has recorded 10 deaths “due to famine and malnutrition” in the past 24 hours. Those killed by the Israeli-forced starvation include three children.

This brings the total number of hunger-related deaths since the war began in Gaza to 332, including 124 children.

A total of 54 hunger-related deaths, including those of nine children, have been recorded since a global hunger monitor confirmed famine was occurring in parts of Gaza earlier this month.

Iran arrests eight accused of spying for Israel
Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps says it has arrested eight people suspected of trying to transmit the coordinates of sensitive sites and details about senior military figures to Israel’s Mossad.

They are accused of having provided the information to the Mossad spy agency during Israel’s air war on Iran in June, when it attacked Iranian nuclear facilities and killed top military commanders as well as civilians.

An IRGC statement alleged that the suspects had received specialised training from Mossad via online platforms. It said they were apprehended in northeastern Iran and that materials for making launchers, bombs, explosives and booby traps had been seized.

Israeli attack on bakery kills 11 people

US denies visas for Palestinian officials before UN assembly
As we’ve been reporting, the Trump administration said it is denying and revoking visas for members of the Palestine Liberation Organization and the Palestinian Authority (PA) before the United Nations General Assembly (UNGA) in September.

The PA and the PLO serve as representatives for the Palestinian people and push for recognition of a Palestinian state on the global stage.

The US Department of State said it would grant waivers to the PA Mission to the UN, currently helmed by Ambassador Riyad Mansour.

Speaking to reporters shortly after the announcement, Mansour said Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas planned to attend the UN gathering next month, which is set to include a September 22 segment on Palestinian rights.

Per user Warfare Analysis on Twitter: As of now, there is no confirmation from Hamas’s military wing regarding the capture of 4 soldiers.

Hebrew media reported that 4 Israeli soldiers went missing following a “security incident” in the Zaytoun area of Gaza City and that the Israeli army was searching for them. They also reported that the Hannibal directive was activated.

This suggests either the soldiers were captured and then bombed by Israel, killing them along with their captors, or they were captured and somehow survived the Hannibal directive, which is highly unlikely given that no statement has been issued by Al-Qassam.

Gaza City has witnessed 4 “security incidents,” AKA Hamas ambushes.

Hebrew media reported that 11 soldiers were “wounded” and 1 was sniped and killed by Hamas in Gaza City. At the same time, the Israeli army imposed censorship on the publication of any information regarding the case of the 4 “missing” soldiers.

The only Al-Qassam statement regarding last night “incidents” is: “We remind those who forget – death or captivity”

No official statement from the Israeli army yet.

From Gaza’s tunnels to its front lines, al-Sanwar carried the command torch through the most punishing phases of the war, inheriting it after his brother’s assassination. Today, he falls on the same path, the road to Jerusalem.

Hamas affirms: the leadership may be struck, but the chain of command is forged in blood, not paper. Each martyr in the Sanwar line cements the movement’s oath: the fight continues until the banner flies over Al-Aqsa.

Houthis signal defiance after assassination of government officials
The political arm of the Houthis emphasised its government and institutions are still capable of carrying out duties after members of the cabinet were assassinated by Israel.

“The blood of the great martyrs will be fuel and a motivator to continue on the same path,” the Houthi presidency said in its statement.

“We affirm to our great Yemeni people, to the sons of the oppressed Palestinian people, to all the sons of our nation, and to all the free people in the world, that we are continuing in our original stance in supporting and aiding the sons of Gaza, and building our armed forces and developing their capabilities to confront all challenges and dangers, as is the stance of our great Yemeni people, present in all fields and arenas with all determination, will, and faith.”

On Friday, Israeli media reported, quoting unnamed sources, that the Israeli army assessed the entire Houthi cabinet, including the prime minister and 12 other ministers, were likely killed in Thursday’s strikes on Sanaa.

The Houthis have not confirmed the total number of those killed.

Houthis vow to increase military capability, exact ‘vengeance’ on Israel
Mahdi al-Mashat, a Yemeni politician and military officer who serves as the chairman of the Supreme Political Council of the Houthis, has released a defiant video message to mourn the assassinations of the prime minister and other members of the cabinet in Israeli strikes this week.

He said “the treacherous enemy has pained us with this calamity”, but pledged that “we shall take vengeance, and we shall forge from the depths of wounds a victory”.

“To our people in Gaza, our stance is steadfast, and will remain so until the aggression ceases and the siege is lifted, no matter the scale of the challenge,” al-Mashat said.

The commander said the Houthis will “continue the path of building our armed forces and developing their capabilities”.

Major General Mohammed Nasser al-Atifi, Houthi minister of defence and military production, also released a statement and said the group’s armed forces are ready “at all levels to confront the Zionist enemy supported by America”.

Israeli military claims to have targeted Abu Obeida: Reports
Israeli media is reporting that the Israeli military and domestic security agency Shin Bet have said that an Israeli drone attack in Gaza City targeted Abu Obeida, the longtime masked spokesperson of the Qassam Brigades, Hamas’s military wing.

It did not provide any further details, and there has been no response from Hamas at this time.

People are still being pulled from the rubble after an Israeli strike on an apartment block in Gaza
By Hani Mahmoud
Reporting from Gaza City

There’s more harrowing footage coming from the bomb site.

In fact, rescue workers arrived at the scene and are still searching under the rubble.

This is a five-storey building, located just more than half a mile (about 1km) from the home where we had to take shelter.

Many of the children had to be pulled from under the rubble, under the debris of those apartments, or from the street where the intensity of this bombing threw them out of the building.

This attack happened without any warning whatsoever.

What is particularly concerning is that it’s a very densely populated area.

As many as seven people were killed, and now the injured are arriving at the hospital with shrapnel wounds and severe bleeding.

Qassam Brigades reports attacks on invading Israeli soldiers in Gaza City
The armed wing of Hamas reports that its fighters used mortar shells to target a gathering of Israeli soldiers and armoured vehicles pushing into the southern part of the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City.

The Qassam Brigades also said that on Friday, its fighters succeeded in “destroying” an Israeli armoured personnel carrier with a powerful explosive device near Gaza University, located around the same area of southern Gaza City.

The fighters observed an Israeli helicopter arriving at the scene to evacuate casualties, the group said in a short statement.

Another Israeli soldier killed in southern Gaza
The Israeli army says that Ariel Lubliner, a major from the army’s reserve force, was killed in the southern Gaza Strip today. According to Israeli Army Radio, this is the 900th soldier killed since the start of the war on the enclave.

Two soldiers with the Golani Brigade of the Israeli army were also lightly wounded during an “operational accident” in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis.

Today’s death toll in Gaza rises
77 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip today, according to sources in Gaza’s hospitals.

47 of those were killed in Gaza City alone, while 19 were killed whilst seeking aid in the centre and the south of the Gaza Strip.

Global Sumud Flotilla set to sail tomorrow
The International Committee to Break the Siege on Gaza said the “Global Sumud Flotilla” will begin its journey from Barcelona on Sunday, followed by a second departure on Thursday from Tunisia, to challenge Israel’s siege of the coastal enclave.

In a statement, the committee described the flotilla as a worldwide protest against “the siege and genocide” in Gaza, accusing international institutions of “failure and complicity”.

It stressed the convoy is “not just symbolic boats carrying aid, but a powerful humanitarian message” reflecting global determination to end the siege.

“Every ship carries a cry of hope for Gaza and a global voice demanding an immediate end to the blockade and injustice,” the statement said.

Pro-Palestinian chants in Brussels, German police beat more protesters
Footage released by pro-Palestinian activists, verified by Al Jazeera, showed a demonstration organised by many medical professionals in front of the European Parliament headquarters in Brussels, demanding sanctions on Israel.

Participants chanted slogans condemning the attacks against Palestinians and emphasising the need for international action to stop crimes against civilians in Gaza.

After the demonstration in Frankfurt that we reported on earlier, another protest took place in western Germany’s Cologne.

Protesters marched through the city’s streets holding banners that read, “We will not die in your wars” and “No to military mobilisation”. The protesters gathered at Heumarkt Square in Cologne, and German media reported that the police demanded the protesters remove their masks and leave, and violently attacked several demonstration sites, resulting in injuries among the protesters.

Israeli army announce recovering body of another captive from Gaza
The Israeli military has confirmed recovering the body of Idan Shtivi, who was killed at the Nova music festival near Gaza’s borders during the Hamas-led attacks on October 7, 2023.

This comes after the Israeli army reported on Friday that in cooperation with Shin Bet, it recovered the bodies of Ilan Weiss and another unnamed captive in a “complex operation” in Gaza.

Weiss was reportedly an armed guard of the Kibbutz Be’eri and was also killed on the same day.
