At least eight killed in second attack on southern Gaza’s al-Mawasi ‘safe zone’
Reporting from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza
There was another new attack in the so-called safe humanitarian area in al-Mawasi, in the western part of southern Gaza’s Khan Younis region, where Israeli forces just targeted the Abu Taha family home.
At least eight Palestinians were killed. According to the civil defence teams and the ambulances in that area, there are still people trapped under the rubble. There were dozens of Palestinians in this house.
People who are in this area are saying that this is the second air strike that took place in al-Mawasi today. Israeli forces targeted a tent there earlier.

Israel refuses to allow aid into northern Gaza: UN

Ajith Sunghay, director of the UN High Commissioner for Human Rights in the occupied Palestinian territories, has told our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic that “the situation is catastrophic in northern Gaza”.
“Demands to allow aid into northern Gaza have either been rejected or obstructed by Israel,” he was quoted as saying.
His comments come a day after a deadline imposed by the US on Israel to improve the aid situation in northern Gaza expired. The US State Department was evasive when questioned on whether or not Israel met that deadline.
However, several international rights groups say the country has failed to meet it.
“Israel not only failed to meet the US criteria that would indicate support to the humanitarian response, but concurrently took actions that dramatically worsened the situation on the ground, particularly in northern Gaza,” said the groups, which include the Norwegian Refugee Council, Oxfam, Refugees International and Save the Children.

Israeli forces detain journalists in occupied West Bank

Esra Ghorani, a female reporter with the Palestinian Wafa news agency, has been detained along with the Palestine TV crew at the Israeli military checkpoint in the Tayasir village, east of Tubas city in the occupied West Bank, the news agency reported.
The report said the journalists were covering the demolition of a house by the Israeli military in the village of Kardala in the northern Jordan Valley before their detention.
Israel has continued targeting journalists and media organisations in the occupied West Bank as well as Gaza.
It banned and shut down Al Jazeera in Ramallah in September. Prior to that, Al Jazeera was also banned in Israel.
At least 128 journalists and media workers are among the tens of thousands of people Israel has killed in Gaza, the West Bank and Lebanon over the past year – the deadliest time for journalists since the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ) began to track the killings more than four decades ago.

Students occupy defence firm’s HQ in Italy to protest Gaza war complicity

About 100 students have occupied Leonardo’s LDOF.MI Turin headquarters to denounce what they say is the Italian defence group’s complicity in Israel’s bombardment of Gaza.
The students, who unfurled a flag of the Palestinian territories from the roof of Leonardo’s offices, said the company was supporting the war by providing remote technical assistance and spare parts to Israel’s air force.
Images released by the students show them in Leonardo’s offices waving Palestinian flags and carrying spray cans. Outside, they hung banners on the buildings saying “No arms to Israel”, accusing the group of complicity in genocide.
They also clambered on top of a plane in the grounds of the company’s headquarters.
Italian Defence Minister Guido Crosetto condemned the protest, saying that the students were “destroying and defacing” the offices where an “important meeting with the staff of the defence ministry” was taking place.

Israel has just passed laws allowing *CHILDREN* under the age of 14 to be JAILED. Currently 270 children are held in Israeli detention, a violation of international law..


Up to 700 Palestinian children have been kidnapped each year for decades; held hostages by an unlawful occupation who saw in them a threat in the making. Tormented often beyond the breaking point, generations of Palestinians will carry the scars and trauma from the Israeli mass incarceration system. The absurdity of thinking how much int'l diplomacy has normalised this situation by continuing to invoke the "resumption of negotiations" between the "parties" to "achieve a durable solution", is exposed.
