Despite strong international condemnation, including from the EU, of Israel’s brutal attack on a school sheltering displaced Palestinians in Gaza, which killed at least 100 people, Germany justified it on Monday, saying Tel Aviv has the “right to defend itself”, Anadolu Agency reports. | The reality is that Hamas uses schools, hospitals, kindergartens as command centres and that the people in the Gaza Strip are also abused against their will as protective (human) shields,” government deputy spokesman, Wolfgang Buechner, told the press in Berlin, echoing Israel’s claims after each such attack. Buechner, however, provided no evidence to back up his allegations against Hamas, which are consistent with Israeli propaganda used to justify lethal attacks on civilians in Gaza.

The United Kingdom, France, and Germany issue a joint statement calling on Iran to refrain from attacking the Israeli occupation after the latter violated its sovereignty. | The leaders of France, Germany, and the United Kingdom issued a joint statement in which they expressed their support for ongoing diplomatic efforts led by Qatar, Egypt, and the United States to secure a ceasefire and release the captives in Gaza, in light of the ongoing genocide. [...] Moreover, they went on to call on Iran and its allies, likely the Ansar Allah movement in Yemen and the Hezbollah Resistance movement in Lebanon, to refrain from taking any actions that would "further escalate regional tensions and jeopardize the opportunity to agree a ceasefire and the release of hostages." The statement held them responsible "for actions that jeopardize this opportunity for peace and stability" while completely disregarding the actions of the Israeli occupation that forced the hand of Iran and its allies to respond to it, to begin with.

The Gaza Government Media Office holds both "Israel" and the US administration responsible, pointing out that the Israeli occupation army launched a deliberate attack on the school. | After "Israel" committed a horrendous massacre during the early hours of Saturday, nothing remained of the scene but bloodied body bags and devastation. At least 100 Palestinians were killed in the Al-Tabieen school in Gaza City, and dozens more were injured. As Palestinians were performing the morning prayers, Israeli warplanes struck the mosque with three airstrikes, leaving behind a hellish scene of unrecognized bodies and mass destruction. Al-Tabieen comprises a religious school and mosque in Gaza City. The Government Media Office in Gaza stated that "due to the enormity of the massacre and the rising number of victims, medical and civil defense teams have not yet been able to retrieve all the bodies."

At least 100 people were killed and dozens others wounded in Israel's bombing of a school in Gaza City, Press TV reported on Telegram. | The Government Media Office in Gaza stated that "Israel" committed a horrendous massacre during the early hours of Saturday at the Al-Tabieen school in Gaza City, killing over 100 Palestinians and wounding dozens of others.

💬 "Due to the enormity of the massacre and the rising number of victims, medical and civil defense teams have not yet been able to retrieve all the bodies," it said in a statement.

The media office held both "Israel" and the US administration responsible, pointing out that the Israeli occupation army launched a direct attack on the school, where many displaced individuals who had sought refuge were performing morning prayers, which led to a massive number of martyrs. More than 300 people were present at the time of the Israeli bombing, the media office added. It condemned this "horrific massacre in the strongest terms and [called] on the entire world to condemn it." The government office also demanded that the international community and international organizations put pressure on the occupation to stop the genocide and ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

Nagasaki local government keeps away Israel from the event to commemorate nuclear bombing of Japan by America during World War 2. | Nagasaki has observed "moment of silence" in a ceremony marking the 1945 atomic bombing of the Japanese city by United States in 1945, but the event was skipped by many Western countries because Nagasaki's mayor declined to invite Israel amid its genocidal war on Gaza. During the World War 2, an atomic bomb dropped by the United States on Hiroshima on August 6, 1945, destroyed the city, killing 140,000 people. A second bomb dropped three days later on Nagasaki killed 70,000 more.

Jonathan Cook | There should be nothing surprising about the revelation that troops at Sde Teiman, a detention camp set up by Israel in the wake of Hamas’s 7 October attack on southern Israel, are routinely using rape as a weapon of torture against Palestinian inmates. | Last week, nine soldiers from a prison unit, Force 100, were arrested for gang-raping a Palestinian inmate with a sharp object. He had to be hospitalised with his injuries. ■ At least 53 prisoners are known to have died in Israeli detention, presumed in most cases to be either through torture or following the denial of access to medical care. No investigations have been carried out by Israel and no arrests have been made. ■ Why should it be of any surprise that Israel’s self-proclaimed “most moral army in the world” uses torture and rape against Palestinians? It would be truly surprising if this was not happening. After all, this is the same military that for 10 months has used starvation as a weapon of war against the 2.3 million people of Gaza, half of them children.

Israeli warplanes have conducted fresh air raids on Khan Yunis governorate, in southern Gaza Strip, killing at least 19 Palestinians, some of whom were burned alive. | Citing medical sources, Palestinian media reported on Wednesday that eight Palestinians lost their lives in an Israeli airstrike that targeted a tent sheltering displaced people near a brick factory in the town of Abasan al-Kabira, east of Khan Yunis. ● Four more Palestinians were killed and an unspecified number wounded in an Israeli bombing of a house and a popular market west of Khan Yunis. ● Meanwhile, an aerial assault by the occupation’s military near al-Shafi'i Mosque west of Khan Yunis claimed the lives of three people and injured 10, according to the Gaza Civil Defense. ● Also, three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli raid on a tent in the town of Bani Suhaila, east of Khan Yunis, and a woman was martyred after the regime’s warplanes targeted a charitable soup kitchen distributing food among the displaced.

The election of Yahya Sinwar as the new leader of Hamas’ political bureau has shaken Israel and its Western and regional allies to the core and demonstrated a strong sense of unity among Palestinians. | The Hamas leadership has unanimously elected him to lead the resistance movement. Sinwar succeeds Ismail Haniyeh who was assassinated by Israel a week ago. Israel assassinated Haniyeh in Tehran on July 31. He had traveled to Iran to attend the swearing-in ceremony of President Masoud Pezeshkian. ● “The Islamic Resistance Movement Hamas announces the selection of Commander Yahya Sinwar as the head of the political bureau of the movement, succeeding the martyr Commander Ismail Haniyeh, may [God] have mercy on him,” Hamas said in a statement on Tuesday. Hamas spokesman Osama Hamdan also said on Tuesday that Sinwar would continue the ceasefire negotiations.

U.S. Ambassador to Japan Rahm Emanuel will not represent the United States at the annual Nagasaki Peace Memorial Ceremony on Friday and will instead attend a ceremony in Tokyo. | Nagasaki decided not to invite the Israeli ambassador to the event at the city’s Peace Park on the basis of security concerns, with some ambassadors expressing concern over the decision. Activists and A-bomb survivor groups had been pressuring the city not to invite Israel. Nagasaki did invite Palestine to the annual event. [...] British Ambassador to Japan Julia Longbottom has said that she will not be attending the Nagasaki ceremony. She said that the city’s decision could send the wrong message, as Israel could be viewed as being treated the same way as Russia.

Amid the ongoing genocide, these atrocities are occurring live and without interruption.

Reports suggest that 1,000 soldiers are transferred every month to the Defence Ministry’s rehabilitation department due to injuries sustained in Israel's war in Gaza. | At least 10,000 Israeli soldiers have been killed and injured since the outbreak of Israel's war on Gaza last October 7, according to Israeli media. ● Yedioth Ahronoth newspaper on Sunday said some 1,000 soldiers are transferred every month to the Defence Ministry’s rehabilitation department due to injuries sustained in the Gaza war.

💬 "The army is suffering from a shortage of at least 10,000 soldiers killed or wounded during the long months of fighting in Gaza,” the daily said. “There has been no such a situation in the history of Israel’s war where soldiers fight inside enemy territory, under unfavourable conditions, for 10 consecutive months,” the mother of an Israeli soldier in the army’s Nahal Brigade told Yedioth Ahronoth.

The newspaper criticised the Knesset (Israel’s parliament) for going on summer break from July 22 until mid-October without passing legislation to extend mandatory military service.

Eight reservists have been accused of sodomizing a prisoner with a broomstick | The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) arrested eight reservists on Monday as part of a probe into alleged torture of a Palestinian captive, prompting rioters, including several lawmakers, to break into a military base demanding their release. One argued that nothing was off-limits when it came to dealing with Hamas. ● Ten soldiers were originally caught up in the investigation. Two were released early on Wednesday, while eight were ordered to remain in custody through Sunday. According to the IDF, they have been accused of aggravated sodomy, causing bodily harm, abuse, and conduct unbecoming of a soldier. ● The arrest of the reservists on Monday interrupted a meeting of the Knesset Finance Committee, as a MP of the ruling Likud party, Hanoch Milwidsky, tried to walk out in protest.

💬 “To insert a stick in a person’s rectum, is that legitimate?” asked Ahmad Tibi, an Israeli-Arab lawmaker.
💬 “Yes!” Milwidsky shouted back. “If he is a Nukhba [Hamas unit], everything is legitimate to do! Everything!”

Mike Whitney | Israel’s activities in the north have resulted in mass evacuations that have intensified the suffering of the traumatized population. | Unit 601 of the IDF’s Combat Engineering Corps is clearing a vast swath of land across central Gaza splitting the 25-mile-long territory into two parts. The so-called Netzarim corridor (Highway 749)—which crosses Gaza from east to west—will provide faster transport for IDF troops operating in the area and will also function as vital part of Israel’s security cordon separating the north from the south. There is no doubt that military outposts will be established along the corridor as well as in locations along the western coast. The aim of these actions is to protect the development of new settlements that will be built north of the corridor. In short, the Israeli government is using its war on Hamas to divert attention from its real objective which is the expansion of the Jewish state on Palestinian land.

The Palestinian militant group has blamed the strike on Israel and vowed retaliation | The leader of the Hamas political wing, Ismail Haniyeh, has been assassinated along with one of his bodyguards in Tehran, the Palestinian group and Iranian authorities have confirmed. Hamas was quick to blame the killing on Israel, which has so far declined to comment. The group said Haniyeh was killed on Tuesday morning in a “treacherous attack of the Zionists on his residence” in Tehran. The Iranian Revolutionary Guards Corps (IRGC) has said an investigation is ongoing. Haniyeh, usually based in Qatar, was in the Iranian capital for the inauguration of the new president, Masoud Pezeshkian.

💬 The assassination of Haniyeh is a “cowardly act that will not go unpunished”, the Hamas-run channel Al-Aqsa TV quoted senior Hamas official Moussa Abu Marzouk as saying. “This assassination by the Israeli occupation of Brother Haniyeh is a grave escalation that aims to break the will of Hamas,” senior Hamas official Sami Abu Zuhri told Reuters. He went on to say that Hamas will continue the path it is following, and is “confident of victory.”

The Israeli army has announced a suspension of "critical security discussions regarding escalation in the North," citing the attack on the Beit Lid military base by right-wing gangs on Monday evening. [...] Reports confirm that one Palestinian detainee was subjected to gang rape by 9 or 10 Israeli soldiers and endured severe torture, resulting in paralysis and current hospitalization. According to an Israeli Army Radio report, the abuse occurred approximately three weeks ago at the Sde Teiman detention facility. The victim was discovered at the military base in critical condition and was subsequently transported to a hospital for treatment and surgery. [...]It is worth noting that Sde Teiman, a military installation in southern occupied Palestine, has gained notoriety as a site likened to a "New Guantanamo," where the Israeli army reportedly engages in the torture and killing of Palestinian civilians of all ages, including children, who have been abducted from various areas of the Gaza Strip since the onset of the war on October 7. These individuals are brought to the facility for initial interrogation, as stated by the Israeli military.
