Israel Moves Forward With Plan To Expand Occupation In Gaza

Gaza City hitIsraeli officials have approved a plan for the military to scale up its deadly occupation in Gaza, despite increased global condemnation of the government’s killing and starving of the territory’s Palestinian population over the last 22 months.

The plan involves Israeli forces capturing Gaza City in the north and forcibly displacing its hundreds of thousands of residents to the south, which has been flattened by the military. Israel said it has called up 60,000 reservists and extended the service of an additional 20,000 in order to carry out the operation.

Israel maintains the military operation is meant to wipe out Hamas, the Gaza-based militant group that carried out the deadly attack on Oct. 7, 2023. About 50 hostages taken by Hamas at the time remain in captivity, roughly half of whom Israel believes are dead.

Arab mediators say Hamas leaders have agreed to the latest ceasefire proposal, though similar developments in the past have not led to a permanent truce. Israel has not agreed to the deal.

Both the international community and some Israelis themselves have accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of abandoning the hostages and a potential ceasefire in favor of destroying the Palestinian people. The Gaza Health Ministry estimates Israeli forces have killed at least 62,000 people, with the real toll expected to be much higher.

Judge temporarily halts US deportation of Guatemalan children

District Judge halts deportation of Guatemalan childrenA federal judge has temporarily halted the planned U.S. deportation of Guatemalan children amid President Trump’s intense crackdown on immigration.

In a court filing Sunday, lawyers for the children said they were “ten (10) unaccompanied minors from Guatemala between the ages of 10 and 17 whom Defendants are seeking to remove from the United States in clear violation of the unambiguous protections that Congress has provided them as vulnerable children.”

The lawyers requested that the court “grant a temporary restraining order to preserve the status quo pending further proceedings.” 

A later order from U.S. District Judge Sparkle L. Sooknanan reads that “given the exigent circumstances” the court “has determined that an immediate Order is warranted to maintain the status quo until a hearing can be set.”

‘Mayhem, chaos’ in Gaza City as Israel intensifies attacks, killing 47

Palestinians flee GazaIsraeli forces have killed at least 77 Palestinians across Gaza, including 47 people in northern Gaza City, as the military intensifies its campaign to seize the city and displace about one million people living there.

The killings on Saturday included 11 Palestinians who were shot dead while queueing for food aid, and came as the Ministry of Health in Gaza announced that 10 more people had died of malnutrition in the last 24-hour period . The victims included three children. 

In Gaza City, Israeli forces launched three strikes in quick succession, tearing apart an apartment block and killing at least seven people. Several more were wounded, including children.

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud, reporting from Gaza City, said the attack caused “mahem and chaos” and damaged the surrounding areas.

“Many children were wounded. They arrived to the hospital fully soaked in their own blood. We saw one child transferred to the hospital who had the flesh of others who were wounded sticking to his back.”

Mahmoud said the attack was the latest since Israel declared Gaza City a combat zone.

“The military has increased its aerial bombings on densely populated areas, pushing people into further displacement. We are seeing people scrambling for shelter,” he added.

Trump in talks to deploy private army to Ukraine

Trump offers private army in UkraineAmerican private military firms could be deployed to Ukraine as part of a long-term peace plan.

Donald Trump is in talks with European allies about allowing armed contractors to help build fortifications to protect American interests in the country.

The plan is being devised as a workaround after the US president promised that American troops would not be stationed in Ukraine.

US contractors could be deployed to help rebuild Ukraine’s front-line defences, new bases and protect US businesses.

The presence of private soldiers would act as a deterrent to discourage Vladimir Putin from breaking an eventual ceasefire.

The plan is being discussed alongside a range of other so-called security guarantees – drawn up by the coalition of the willing led by the UK and France – that will form the basis of a long-term peace plan.

US blocks Palestinian leader from attending UN meeting in New York

Abbas banned by USPalestinian President Mahmoud Abbas has been blocked from attending the UN General Assembly session in New York next month, after he and 80 other Palestinian officials had their visas revoked, the US State Department has said.

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio blamed them for undermining peace efforts and for seeking "the unilateral recognition of a conjectural Palestinian state".

The decision, welcomed by Israel, is unusual as the US is expected to facilitate travel for officials of all countries wishing to visit the UN headquarters.

The ban comes as France leads international efforts to recognise a state of Palestine at the session - a move Donald Trump's administration has opposed.

Prime minister of Yemen's Houthi government killed in Israeli strike

President of YemenThe prime minister of Yemen's Houthi government and several other ministers were killed in an Israeli strike on the capital Sanaa, the news agency run by the group said on Saturday, citing a statement by the head of the Houthi Supreme Political Council, Mahdi al-Mashat.

A number of others were wounded in Thursday's strike, it said, without providing details.

Israel said on Friday that the airstrike had targeted the Iran-aligned group's chief of staff, defense minister and other senior officials and that it was verifying the outcome.

Mashat's statement did not make clear whether the Houthi defense minister was among the casualties.

NBC News analysis finds that Israel hit Gaza hospital four times

Gaza hospitalThe Israeli military struck Nasser Hospital at least four times during its morning attack on southern Gaza that killed 22 people earlier this week, according to an NBC News analysis of newly obtained video.

The findings come as Reuters — whose cameraman Hussam al-Masri was among five journalists killed Monday in the Israeli strikes — said the Israeli military was “fully aware” that its team and other journalists were operating from the hospital in southern Gaza.


The agency told NBC News on Wednesday that it had offered daily live feeds to its news clients from that location in recent weeks, but earlier in the war had stopped sharing its teams' exact locations “after so many journalists were killed in IDF strikes.”

What initially appeared to be a “double tap” strike — a tactic in which a target is hit, then struck again often after first responders have rushed in — was in fact more extensive.

Al-Masri’s live feed freezes at 10:08 a.m. local time but there’s no video of the first strikes. Video of the aftermath of these hits shows smoke billowing from two separate staircases: the one where journalists were working and a second, around the corner next to the intensive care unit.

Al-Masri was killed in the first strike.
Two projectiles are seen near and hitting Nasser Hospital on Monday.

Minutes later, at 10:17 a.m., after journalists and first responders arrived on the staircase used by journalists — including men carrying a gurney seen on video wearing clearly identifiable high visibility vests — a second strike hits.

Video obtained and verified by NBC News shows two additional projectiles striking the fourth-floor staircase within milliseconds of each other. Plumes of smoke can be seen rising from all affected areas.

N.R. Jenzen-Jones, director of the arms intelligence firm Armament Research Services, said video of the incident after the first strike pointed to a direct-fire weapon, with damage “consistent with that expected from a multi-purpose tank gun projectile.”

Video of the second strike also appeared to show two projectiles, he said. Their flight pattern and “bright emission… more likely to be from a tracer” suggested they came from tank rounds, Jenzen-Jones said. The timing, he added, implies “two tanks may have fired on the target simultaneously.”

The Israel Defense Forces did not respond to a request for comment on the newest revelations. The IDF has not provided NBC News with any additional information since it released preliminary findings on Tuesday.
