Royal Air Force surveillance flights over Gaza have relied on technical support from Gama, Declassified has found. | Gama provides “engineering services including design, maintenance and repair” for the RAF’s six-strong fleet of Shadow R1 surveillance planes. ■ Without Gama’s technical support and deep knowledge of the planes, the RAF would have struggled to maintain almost daily surveillance flights over the besieged Palestinian territory since December 2023. ■ These missions were ostensibly to help locate hostages, but have led to concerns that Britain is complicit in Israel’s relentless attacks on Palestinian civilians. ■ Once deployed to Akrotiri in pairs, these small, twin propeller planes have spent around four hours a day flying above Gaza, hoovering up intelligence with their state-of-the-art onboard surveillance systems. ■ The footage and other intercepts can technically be shared live via a satellite link with partners on the ground, raising concerns that Israeli forces may have had real time access to UK surveillance of the battlefield.

Ben-Gvir's Otzma Yehudit party will carry out the threat it made on Thursday to leave the government if the cease-fire and hostage deal is approved by the cabinet. The minister said he would consider rejoining the coalition if fighting is resumed after the first phase of the agreement | Far-right National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir announced on Saturday his intention to resign from the government and withdraw his party from the coalition on Sunday, in protest of the cabinet's approval of a hostage release and cease-fire deal with Hamas. ● On Thursday, Ben-Gvir threatened to resign if the deal was approved, but said he would consider rejoining the government if fighting resumed after the first phase of the agreement, "to achieve decisive victory and fulfill the war's objectives." His resignation will leave the coalition with 62 members. ● Ben-Gvir said that along with leaving the coalition, ministers Amichai Eliyahu and Yitzhak Wasserlauf will resign from their posts, as well as Tzvika Foghel who serves as chair of the National Security Committee, and MK Yitzhak Kroizer, who will no longer be part of the judicial appointment committee. ● Eliyahu will return to serving as a member of Knesset, and MK Zvi Succot will lose his seat.

Despite the announcement of a ceasefire, Palestinian blood continues to flow in Gaza without mercy or reprieve amid the relentless Israeli carnage. | Despite the announcement of a ceasefire in Gaza, the Israeli occupation continues massacring Palestinians and destroying the Strip. ● In 24 hours, the Israeli occupation committed three massacres across the Palestinian-besieged territory, killing 23 Palestinians and injuring 83 more. ● Although several victims were transported to the few partially functioning hospitals in Gaza, countless more remain trapped under the rubble as rescue operations have been rendered near impossible. ● This raises the death toll since October 7, 2023, to 46,899 Palestinians killed and 110,725 others injured.

With over 50 million tonnes of rubble still scattered and reconstruction costs projected to reach $80 billion, the challenge ahead is immense. | As the war on Gaza winds down, international donors are assessing the immense Israeli destruction in the densely populated territory and considering future reconstruction efforts, as highlighted in a report by The Times. ● The scale of devastation is staggering: the Israeli aggression, which Gaza's Health Ministry reports has killed over 46,000 Palestinians, has left behind more than 50.8 million tonnes of rubble—surpassing the debris from the war in Ukraine and amounting to 17 times the combined total of debris from all wars since 2008. ● Clearing this debris alone is projected to cost $970,945,431, while the overall reconstruction is estimated to require up to $80 billion.

Both sides have agreed on a 42-day truce, initiating prisoner exchanges and facilitating humanitarian aid, multiple news agencies have reported | Israel and Hamas have reportedly reached a ceasefire agreement to end their 15-month conflict in Gaza. The deal, mediated by the US, Qatar, and Egypt, includes a 42-day truce and the exchange of prisoners. ● The official announcement is expected on Wednesday evening in Cairo, but US President-elect Donald Trump has already made several statements confirming that the agreement has been reached, crediting his envoy Steve Witkoff for the breakthrough.

Marzieh Rahmani | This story is not just the story of Aisha but it is the common sorrow and grief of the Palestinian nation for the past 76 years; the oppressed nation whose ultimate wish is to see their motherland even one time before death. | A group of Mehr News Agency correspondents visited an art exhibition that the Iranian photographer Wahab Ramzi collected its photos from the Palestinian refugee camp at the Museum of Contemporary Palestinian Arts in Tehran. ■ In 2023, Iranian photographer Wahab Ramzi went to the Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. During this visit, he encountered the life stories, dreams, and laughter of the Palestinians and saw their family albums. This museum is the result of his photography of Palestinian people living in 4 Palestinian refugee camps in Lebanon. ■ Entitled 'Keys Older Than Israel', the gallery exhibits pictures that Ramzi captured from the refugee camps in Lebanon. The pictures depict the life story of Palestinian refugees who kept their homes' keys in the hope of returning to their motherland, Palestine. Every picture in the exhibition tells the tragic story of Palestinian families who have been displaced by the Israeli regime in 1948. What is most painful and surprising is the fact that the keys in these pictures of older than the fake regime of Israel.

With symptoms ranging from nightmares to aggression, the psychological toll on Gaza children is unimaginable. | The United Nations Children’s Fund (UNICEF) has raised the alarm over the mental health crisis affecting nearly all 1.1 million children in the Gaza Strip as a result of the Israeli ongoing war in the blockaded territory. ● In a report released Sunday, UNICEF revealed that Gaza’s children are grappling with nightmares, severe anxiety, and paralyzing fear caused by the relentless Israeli bombardments, the loss of family members, and the worsening humanitarian crisis. ● The report also noted that at least 19,000 Palestinian children have been orphaned since the war started in October 2023. Mental health experts warn that the profound psychological effects of the war on these children could linger for generations. ● This comes shortly after a recent study uncovered the harrowing impact of "Israel's" war on Gaza’s children, revealing that an overwhelming 96% feel their death is imminent and nearly half wish for it as an escape from their trauma. With symptoms ranging from nightmares to aggression, the psychological toll is unimaginable. Experts warn that the ongoing Israeli atrocities risk shaping a future defined by deep-rooted psychological scars.

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,541 Palestinians and wounded 108,338 since October 7, 2023.

Israel’s war on Gaza has left a trail of devastation with the lives of more than two million Palestinians severely disrupted.

Long lines of people waiting for food aid have become a common sight. In hospitals, the situation is dire with wounded civilians flooding emergency rooms. Entire families have been wiped out in bombings, leaving behind only grief and despair.

Homes – once symbols of stability – have been reduced to rubble, displacing hundreds of thousands who now seek shelter in overcrowded refugee camps or makeshift accommodations.

These images from the past year capture only a fraction of the suffering endured by the Palestinians of Gaza.

● At least 22 Palestinians, including children, are killed throughout Gaza on New Year’s Day in Israeli attacks in northern Jabalia, the central Bureij refugee camp, and southern Khan Younis.
● Days of heavy rain have flooded hundreds of makeshift shelters across the Strip, piling more misery on displaced Palestinians as Israel continues to restrict the entry of humanitarian aid.
● The United Nations says Israel’s attacks on Gaza’s hospitals have pushed its healthcare system to “the brink of total collapse”, and Israeli justifications that Palestinian armed groups use the facilities are “vague, broad” and “contradicted by publicly available information”.
● Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 45,553 Palestinians and wounded 108,379 since October 7, 2023. At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day, and more than 200 taken captive.

This, according to Kubovich, makes civilians who enter the same building prone to attacks and labeled as “terrorists” after they are killed by IOF fire.

"We were stripped of our clothes, beaten, tortured, and bound, with our eyes blindfolded," one of the detainees stated. ● The detainees described the Israeli troops as "rabid beasts" who reveled in their misery, emphasizing their hunger, thirst, and the constant pain they were subjected to. They even expressed surprise at their ability to survive under such conditions.

Kathryn Shihadah | Essential facts and stats about the Hamas-Gaza-Israel war: The current situation in Gaza and Israel did not come out of the blue. Critical background left out of U.S news | On Oct 7, the resistance group Hamas did not invade a peace-loving country. To Israelis, it may have felt tranquil and carefree – they were dancing, raising families on tree-lined streets, planning vacations abroad. Palestinians are pretty much invisible, locked as they are behind high concrete walls and electrified, fortified, barbed wire barriers. ■ Israelis have never experienced the kind of invasion they got that day. The roles are usually reversed. This time some Palestinians were killing, kidnapping, and causing panic, trauma, and unconscionable violence. Usually it is some Israeli soldiers and settlers that perpetrate such acts. ■ The Israelis’ experience – and that of their loved ones – is real and significant. ■ But many of us are dismissing Gazans’ experience out of hand. ■ If we believe in equality, in the presence of the imago dei in everyone, we ought to be troubled by this. Are Israeli sins forgivable, but Palestinian sins somehow unforgivable?

On Sunday, December 15, 2024, day 436 of the Israeli assault against the entire civilian population of 2.2 million Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, Israeli forces continued their relentless bombardment of Palestinian civilians. | 11 Palestinians were killed and several injured as a result of the Israeli occupation bombing two houses in the Shuja’iyya neighborhood and the Nuseirat camp east of Gaza City and in the central Gaza Strip. ● A Wafa news correspondent reported that six Palestinians were killed, including children, and others were injured in an Israeli occupation bombing that targeted the Al-Qarm family’s house on Al-Beltaji Street in Al-Shuja’iyya neighborhood, east of Gaza City. ● The correspondent added that five citizens were killed, including a child, in addition to 13 others being injured, as a result of the occupation’s bombing that targeted a house in the vicinity of the Qassam Cemetery in the Nuseirat camp, in the central Gaza Strip.

The ongoing strikes are described as the most savage and cruel assaults in the history of "Israel's" colonial domination of Palestine, according to the organizers.

💬 “We started hearing loudspeakers asking the men in the building to come out naked, then they asked the women and children to come out. They lined up the men, and the soldiers began firing at them randomly,” she expressed. ● She explained how “many were killed, and some were wounded and left to bleed to death. Then they put all the women and children in one room and threw a gas grenade inside. It’s very clear to us that everyone is a target, and the plan is just to kill and kill more.”
