For 34 hours, the vast majority of the more than two million Palestinians who live in Gaza had no way to reach the outside world, or one another. They had no way to know whether their loved ones were alive or dead. Desperate paramedics tried to save people by driving toward the sound of explosions. In response to the attacks, the Israeli military declared a siege of the densely populated territory, cutting off electricity, water and medical supplies as it rained down a relentless barrage of aerial and artillery bombardments. The Israeli military also said that it was conducting airstrikes in Lebanon after at least 16 rockets were launched from there into Israeli territory.

Gazan parents are writing their children's names on their bodies so they can be identified, per CNN. A Gazan doctor told the outlet the only way dead children can be identified is through that writing. More than 1,700 children have died under Israel's airstrikes, per Gazan health authorities. Gazan parents worry that "anything could happen" to their children, and no one will be able to identify them, Al Masri told CNN. The supervisor of the room at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, who refused to be named, told the outlet that parents writing their children's names on body parts is a "new phenomenon."

“We received some cases where the parents wrote the names of their children on the legs and abdomen,” Dr. Abdul Rahman Al Masri, the head of the emergency department Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital, told CNN. He said parents were worried that “anything could happen,” and no one would be able to identify their children. “This means that they feel they are targeted at any moment and can be injured or martyred,” Al Masri added. Meanwhile hospital are running out of medicine, water and electricity, while hundreds of injured Palestinians continue to seek treatment, doctors and health workers in Gaza told CNN.

Once the generators stop, hospital director Iyad Abu Zahar fears that the babies in the ward, unable to breathe on their own, will perish. Doctors treating premature babies across Gaza are grappling with similar fears. At least 130 premature babies are at “grave risk” across six neonatal units, aid workers said. Limited fuel supplies inside Gaza were being sent to hospital generators. To ration dwindling supplies, Muhanna said all scheduled operations were stopped and the hospital devoted all its resources to emergencies and childbirths.

Too bad about those Russian children, but they should have chosen somewhere else to be born. A prolonged ground invasion seems to me a particularly risky course, likely to kill large numbers of Israeli soldiers, hostages and especially Gazan civilians. The best answer to this test is to try even in the face of provocation to cling to our values. If your ethics see some children as invaluable and others as disposable, that’s not moral clarity but moral myopia. We must not kill Gazan children in order to protect Israeli children.

Aid convoy trucks waiting at the Rafah border crossing to enter Gaza from Egypt on Thursday. As Gaza grapples with an escalating humanitarian crisis, the prospect of getting aid through the closed Rafah border crossing with Egypt has taken on particular urgency. Hopes are high that the aid trucks would be able to cross into Gaza on Friday, according to European Union officials coordinating aid from the bloc. The American, U.N. and Egyptian officials are discussing who would carry out those cargo inspections, a person directly familiar with the matter said, requesting anonymity to speak about the delicate negotiations. “All of Gaza is waiting for the aid,” Wael Abu Omar, the spokesman for Hamas’s interior ministry, said Thursday.

In video clips verified by The New York Times, scores of Palestinian bodies were filmed strewn across the courtyard of the Ahli Arab Hospital, some bloodied, charred, mangled or in pieces. The explosion at the hospital came a day after Iran warned that “other multiple fronts will open” if Israeli attacks continued to kill civilians in Gaza. Hundreds of families had fled to the hospital in search of refuge after 11 days of Israeli strikes elsewhere in Gaza. Image Two Palestinian children injured in the explosion at Ahli Arab Hospital were taken to another hospital in Gaza, Al-Shifa, for treatment. The Health Ministry in Gaza said that Ahli Arab Hospital was also struck on Sunday.

Here is what we know so far about the explosion at the Ahli Arab Hospital in Gaza City. The Israeli military said Wednesday morning that the number of casualties was inflated. On Wednesday, Archbishop Naoum said that the Israeli military had called and texted the hospital managers at least three times in recent days, asking its patients and staff to leave the hospital compound. Archbishop Naoum said the warnings were particular to the hospital, and not part of Israel’s wider push to encourage civilians to leave northern Gaza for the territory’s south. Lt. Col. Amnon Shefler, an Israeli military spokesman, said the calls to the hospital were part of a wider campaign to urge civilians to leave northern Gaza ahead of an expected Israeli invasion.

"This conflict is escalating fast," said Ulf Laessing, the Bamako-based head of the Sahel programme at the Konrad Adenauer foundation. Back in 2012, French forces and the U.N. intervened to halt the advance in Mali. In Mali, fighting began in August between the army and an ethnic Tuareg group called the Coordination of Azawad Movements (CMA) around a base vacated by the U.N. "The problem is Mali has too few troops and too little mobility," said Michael Shurkin, director of global programs at 14 North Strategies consultancy.

Security forces in the Gaza Strip prevented protesters from holding rallies across the territory on Monday, quelling a rare expression of dissent against Hamas, the authoritarian Islamist group that controls the territory. For the third time in recent days, protest leaders had called for demonstrations — but a heavy police presence throughout the territory deterred efforts to gather in large numbers. The failed effort followed more successful rallies last week, when several hundred Gazans — an unusually high number given the limits on free expression — evaded police interventions to march through several neighborhoods. But, a second attempt to hold demonstrations on Friday was also prevented by large numbers of police, who detained several journalists attempting to cover the protests. The protest organizers — some of them Palestinians based abroad — said the attempted demonstrations were mainly a reaction against Hamas’s authoritarian rule, as well as its failure to improve dire living conditions.

REUTERS/Sinan Abu MayzerJERUSALEM, July 6 (Reuters) - An Israeli court on Thursday acquitted a policeman who shot dead an autistic Palestinian in 2020, ruling that the victim was mistaken for a militant under circumstances arising from the "unique intensity" of trying to secure Jerusalem. Prosecutors in 2021 filed negligent manslaughter charges in Jerusalem District Court against the policeman. The Israeli justice ministry department, which oversees investigations of the police, said it will decide how to proceed after studying the verdict. The unarmed Halaq ran away, prompting a pursuit in which one officer shot at his legs and missed, after which the defendant fatally shot him in the stomach, the indictment said.

An Israeli airstrike killed a top leader of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ). PIJ targeted the Jerusalem area with rocket attacks on Friday. Recent fighting has seen hundreds of strikes and rocket exchanges between Israel and Gaza militants. Iyad al-Hassani is the sixth PIJ leader to be killed by Israel this week. Since Tuesday, there have been large-scale missile and rocket exchanges between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants.
The al Quds Brigades of Islamic Jihad said in a statement shortly after the rocket fire: “The launching towards Jerusalem is a message, and everyone should understand its purpose. Talks to bring about a ceasefire between Israel and Islamic Jihad in Gaza are “on ice right now,” a diplomatic source familiar with the negotiations told CNN Friday. One command center was used by senior Islamic Jihad operative Muhammad Abu Al Ata for “the planning and command of terrorist activity against Israel,” the IDF said. The Israel Defense Forces said that IDF fighter jets also struck four military posts belonging to Islamic Jihad. ‘Shield and Arrow’The IDF began unleashing waves of airstrikes on Tuesday on what it says are Islamic Jihad operatives and infrastructure along the strip.

La scurt timp după miezul nopţii de miercuri spre joi, alarmele s-au activat în sudul ţării, la Tel Aviv însă, pentru prima oară de la escaladarea violenţelor luni, şi în nordul Israelului.Între timp, forţele aeriene israeliene au lovit poziţii ale Hamas din Fâşia Gaza vizând, printre altele, obiective care au legătură cu operaţiunile de contraspionaj ale Hamas, precum şi locuinţa unui comandat al mişcării, Iyad Tayeb.În Fâşia Gaza, cel mai recent bilanţ al victimelor indică 67 de morţi, inclusiv 17 copii, şi aproape 400 de răniţi.În tabăra israeliană, numărul morţilor a crescut la şapte. "Ca represalii pentru raidul asupra turnului Al-Shoruk şi moartea unui grup de lideri", Hamas a lansat miercuri seară peste o sută de rachete spre Israel, dintre care mai multe au fost interceptate de sistemul de apărare antirachetă Domul de fier.Astfel, numărul rachetelor lansate spre Israel de mai multe grupări armate palestiniene de la începutul săptămânii se ridică la aproximativ 1.500.Premierul israelian Benjamin Netanyahu s-a declarat hotărât să continue să atace şi să slăbească capacităţile militare ale Hamas.Preşedintele Autorităţii Naţionale Palestiniene, Mahmoud Abbas, cu sediul în Cisiordania, locul protestelor, al ciocnirilor şi al atacurilor împotriva forţelor israeliene care au ucis trei persoane marţi, i-a cerut preşedintelui american, Joe Biden, într-o discuţie telefonică, să "oprească atacurile israeliene".În culise, Qatarul, Egiptul şi ONU lucrează, de asemenea, pentru a facilita o mediere. Ministrul egiptean de externe a luat legătura cu omologul său israelian pentru a încerca, fără succes pentru moment, să îl convingă să oprească raidurile asupra Fâşiei Gaza. Un emisar american este aşteptat să sosească în regiune.

Forţele franceze l-au ucis pe Bah ag Moussa, un lider militar important al filialei nord-africane a reţelei teroriste Al-Qaida, în timpul unei operaţiuni desfăşurate în nord-estul statului Mali, a anunţat vineri ministrul francez al forţelor armate Florence Parly, potrivit Reuters, informează Agerpres. „Figură istorică a mişcării jihadiste din Sahel, Bah ag Moussa este considerat responsabil pentru câteva atacuri împotriva forţelor maliene şi internaţionale”, a menţionat Parly într-o declaraţie. Bah ag Moussa, care se afla pe lista teroriştilor urmăriţi de SUA, a fost lichidat marţi într-o operaţiune la care au participat trupe la sol elicoptere şi survine unei serii de misiuni în care forţele franceze au ucis zeci de combatanţi islamişti în ultimele săptămâni. „Acesta este un succes major în lupta împotriva terorismului”, a adăugat Florence Parly. Fostă putere colonială, Franţa are peste 5.100 de soldaţi în Africa subsahariană a căror principală misiune este combaterea militantismului islamist în regiune.
