Israel accused of arming Palestinian gang who allegedly looted aid in Gaza

Israel’s government has been accused of arming a Palestinian criminal gang whose members have allegedly looted humanitarian aid, in an apparent attempt to counter Hamas in Gaza.
Satellite images and videos verified by the Israeli newspaper Haaretz showed on Thursday that a new Palestinian militia has expanded its presence in southern Gaza, and is operating inside an area under the direct control of the Israel Defense Forces.
Russia attacks Ukraine with missiles and drones – as it happened
Russia attacked Ukraine with Russian ballistic missiles and drones during a nighttime attack early on Friday, wounding at least three people, officials said.
Multiple explosions were heard in Kyiv, the capital, and falling debris triggered fires across several districts as air defence systems tried to intercept incoming targets, said the Kyiv city administration’s head, Tymur Tkachenko.
Authorities reported damage in several districts and rescue workers were responding at multiple locations. Officials urged residents to seek shelter.
The attacks came after Russia accused Kyiv of state terrorism over its drone operation striking Russian heavy bomber planes at air bases in Siberia and the far north at the weekend and said it would respond as and when its military saw fit.
Israel hits south Beirut after targeting ‘underground Hezbollah drone sites’

Lebanon’s leaders accused Israel of a “flagrant” ceasefire violation by launching strikes against Hezbollah militants in southern Beirut on the eve of the Muslim holiday of Eid al-Adha.
At least three Israeli airstrikes have hit Beirut’s southern suburbs, after the military said it would target what it described as underground Hezbollah drone factories.
Plumes of smoke were seen billowing from the Lebanese capital, shortly after huge numbers of people had fled the area, clogging the roads with traffic.
“The IDF (military) is currently striking terror targets of the Hezbollah aerial unit,” the Israeli military said in a statement on Telegram.
Rubio imposes sanctions on four ICC judges for ‘targeting’ US and Israel

The United States is placing sanctions on four judges from the international criminal court (ICC) for what it has called its “illegitimate actions” targeting the United States and Israel.
The secretary of state, Marco Rubio, announced the sanctions in a statement on Thursday. They target Solomy Balungi Bossa of Uganda, Luz del Carmen Ibáñez Carranza of Peru, Reine Adelaide Sophie Alapini-Gansou of Benin and Beti Hohler of Slovenia.
Donald Trump ordered cabinet officials to draw up sanctions against the ICC after the court issued arrest warrants for the Israeli prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, and former defense minister Yoav Gallant. They were accused of overseeing an Israeli offensive during the Gaza conflict that caused famine and included the commission of war crimes.
Two of the sanctioned judges authorised the arrest warrants for Netanyahu and Gallant, and two authorised an ICC investigation into abuses by US personnel in Afghanistan.
Doctors In Gaza Give Their Own Blood To Save Their Patients
Recent shootings by Israeli forces of Palestinians trying to get desperately needed food aid have forced doctors in Gaza to scramble to save their patients’ lives — going so far as donating their own blood to make up for the territory’s near-empty blood banks and destroyed health care system.
A U.S.-Israeli aid distribution system began bringing in small amounts of food aid into Gaza last week, after the Israeli military spent three months blocking all aid from entering the territory and worsening an already horrific starvation crisis. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) forces Palestinians to trek to militarized distribution points, a system widely condemned by human rights groups, aid organizations and the United Nations.
US vetoes resolution for unconditional Gaza ceasefire at UN security council

The United States has vetoed a United Nations security council resolution calling for an “immediate, unconditional and permanent ceasefire” in Gaza while the 14 remaining countries on the council voted in favour.
The vetoed resolution also called the situation in Gaza “catastrophic”, and demanded the “immediate and unconditional lifting of all restrictions on the entry of humanitarian aid into Gaza and its safe and unhindered distribution at scale, including by the UN and humanitarian partners”.
