Israeli soldiers say orders were to kill any man encountered in Gaza

IDF told to kill any man encountered in GazaIsraeli soldiers said the army ordered troops to kill any man they encountered in Gaza during the genocide that began in 2023.

“A man, no matter what age, don’t play games with it; kill immediately,” one soldier said, describing the orders they received.

“They even told us that if it’s a woman or a child, use your judgment, because things happen,” he added, saying similar instructions were given regarding donkeys. 

His testimony was given to Iris Haim, the mother of an Israeli captive killed by Israeli forces in Gaza, and aired on Channel 13’s investigative programme on Thursday.

In December 2023, Israeli soldiers killed three Israeli captives in Gaza City’s Shujaiya neighbourhood despite them being shirtless, waving a white flag and posing no apparent threat.

The incident sparked widespread criticism of Israel’s rules of engagement in Gaza, which have led to indiscriminate killings of Palestinians near homes, aid sites and "buffer zones". 

In the Channel 13 investigation, the soldier, who spoke anonymously, said he was the one who shot one of the captives during the incident.

Describing his mindset at the time, he said: “I fire 500 bullets a minute. I blow things up. I don’t care. I’m here to kill terrorists.”

Recalling the shooting, the soldier said: “There are three terrorists, I’ll kill them. Then I realised two had already been killed, and one had escaped.”

That captive, he later understood, was Yotam Haim.

Israel killing Palestinians ‘like we haven't since 1967’, top commander says

IDF killing more Palestinianas since 1967Israel’s top commander in the occupied West Bank has said the army is killing Palestinians at levels “not seen since 1967”, according to Haaretz.

Avi Bluth, head of the Israeli army’s Central Command, made the remarks in a closed forum, where he also defended looser rules of engagement allowing troops to fire at unarmed Palestinians.

He acknowledged a discriminatory approach whereby Jewish Israeli stone-throwers are not targeted while Palestinians carrying out similar acts are fired at. 

"In three years, we have killed 1,500 terrorists," he said, referring to Palestinians. 

"So how is there no intifada? Why aren’t they taking to the streets? Why is the Palestinian public indifferent? Why are there no disturbances?" Bluth, a settler who has been the Israeli army commander in the West Bank since 2024, added.

Golders Green attacks: A Muslim was also stabbed - not that you'd know

Golder's Green attackA Muslim man, Ishmail Hussein, was stabbed in London last Wednesday. His alleged assailant has now been apprehended and charged with attempted murder.

But you wouldn’t necessarily know that if you read the headlines, watched the breaking news reports, or listened to the opinions of the commentariat and the political class.

That’s because the accused, Essa Suleiman, was the same man charged with stabbing two Jewish men later that day in the city’s Golders Green area, home to a large Jewish population.

It’s not that the British media didn’t report the attack on Hussein at all. They did, a little - but it was buried deep in articles or mentioned as a quick addendum to the story of what happened in Golders Green.

As someone who has spent my entire career in the news business, I can hear the machinery of their minds as they made those calls: it’s overcomplicated. It would ruin the headlines. It would kill the story.

Palestinian children in Israeli detention face abuse, lack of due process: Rights group

Palestinian children in Israeli prisonsMore than 350 Palestinian children were being held in Israeli prisons at the end of 2025, according to data cited by rights groups, with many detained without a formal charge and subjected to harsh conditions, advocacy organizations and testimonies indicate.

A total of 351 Palestinian minors were in Israeli custody as of December 31, 2025, according to figures from the Israeli Prison Service (IPS) cited by Save the Children. Of those, 180, or 51 percent, were held under “administrative detention” – a practice that allows imprisonment without charge or trial.

Rights groups say the conditions surrounding these detentions raise serious concerns. According to Defense for Children International-Palestine (DCIP), most detained children report being arrested during nighttime raids, blindfolded, bound, strip-searched, and subjected to physical and verbal assault.

“They are often taken from their homes without being able to access lawyers, without being able to speak to their parents,” Alexandra Saieh, Head of Global Strategic Influencing and Policy at Save the Children, told Al Arabiya English.

Several detainees reported experiencing or witnessing sexual violence, forced stripping, and beatings, while others described being subjected to electric shocks in interrogation facilities. One detainee reportedly recounted being held in a room known as the “disco room,” where loud music was played continuously while he was deprived of food, water, and access to a toilet.

“For six days I was given only a bottle cap of water a day … I was beaten nonstop and occasionally given electric shocks,” the detainee said, describing conditions that left him injured and bleeding, according to a testimonial published in a January 2026 report by Israeli human rights group B’Tselem.

Such accounts are consistent with broader findings by DCIP, which says children are frequently interrogated without a lawyer or family member present.

The issue has gained further attention following the death of 17-year-old Walid Ahmad, who became the first known Palestinian minor to die in Israeli custody since October 2023, according to DCIP.

An autopsy indicated he likely died from “extreme, likely prolonged malnutrition,” dehydration caused by illness, and complications worsened by a lack of medical care. He collapsed in the prison yard and died on March 22, 2025, in Megiddo prison, the group said.

Israel appoints settler who backs annexation to head powerful land authority

Israeli settler watches Palestinian homesPrime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu approved the appointment of Yehuda Eliyahu on Monday.

A long-time associate of Smotrich, Eliyahu previously headed the Settlement Administration within the defence ministry, where he oversaw the largest Israeli land grab in the West Bank in recent memory.

His selection was approved last week by a public appointments committee, though not unanimously. 

The committee’s legal adviser opposed the move, arguing that Eliyahu’s decades-long personal relationship with Smotrich posed a conflict of interest.

The Israel Land Authority oversees around 92 percent of state land - roughly 20 million dunams - and manages a budget worth billions of shekels. It plays a central role in land allocation for housing, infrastructure and development projects, and is also involved in administering land in Israeli settlements in the West Bank.

Israeli MP calls for 'conquest, expulsion, settlement' as she tours Gaza boundary

Israeli MP: declares expulsion“Regrettably, the State of Israel is still captive to a flawed conception. There is no alternative to conquest, expulsion, and settlement,” she wrote, adding: “Any other solution is unfeasible and will bring upon us the next massacre.”

She also said there was “no escape” from controlling the so-called Netzarim Corridor, which divides Gaza into northern and southern areas, and establishing a continuous settlement presence there.

The far-right politician, from Itamar Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party, has repeatedly used hardline rhetoric on Palestinians.

She has previously praised an Israeli convicted of killing three members of a Palestinian family, and expressed support for prison officers accused of raping Palestinian detainees, claiming they had been “framed”.

She has also organised and taken part in events advocating the resettlement of Palestinian territories, including a conference at the Knesset that called for the expulsion of Palestinians from Gaza and outlined plans for Jewish settlements there.

Trump Administration Closes Watchdog Office For Immigration Detention Abuses

IMMIGRATION OMBUDSMAN CLOSEDThe Department of Homeland Security is closing an office responsible for investigating misconduct and abuse in the immigration detention system, according to an internal email to DHS employees obtained by HuffPost.

The Office of the Immigration Detention Ombudsman is in the process of removing all its public signage and ending its inspections, according to the email.

The office’s public-facing website, which advised the families and attorneys of detainees on how to file complaints, was down as of Monday afternoon. Even basic informational webpages explaining the office’s responsibilities appeared to have been taken offline.

The email attributed the closure to a lack of funding in the Homeland Security appropriations bill that ended the recent shutdown, though the text of that bill does not require the closure of the ombudsman’s office.
