israeli troops were given orders to raze agricultural land, destroy residential blocks and open fire on anyone who came near them to make way for deadly buffer zones in Gaza, a report by Israeli veterans' group Breaking the Silence (BtS) has revealed. 

According to israeli soldiers interviewed for the report, titled "The Perimeter", the army created a perimeter, between 800 and 1500 metres in breadth and 1.5km inside the Gaza Strip, where "large swathes of the land were turned into massive kill zones".

The soldiers said that the borders of such areas were invisible, constantly changing and were not communicated to Palestinians.

the public’s views of Israel have turned more negative over the past three years. More than half of U.S. adults (53%) now express an unfavorable opinion of Israel, up from 42% in March 2022 – before the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, and the ensuing Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.

Democrats are much more likely to express unfavorable opinions of Israel than Republicans (69% vs. 37%). In 2022, 53% of Democrats and 27% of Republicans had negative views of Israel.

62% of Americans oppose the U.S. taking over Gaza – including 49% who strongly oppose it – while 15% favor Trump’s proposal and 22% say they aren’t sure.

Legal mechanism, like one in Syria, could have assisted in investigation and prosecution of lower-level criminal perpetrators in the occupied Palestinian territories who the ICC is unlikely to focus on

A UN Human Rights Council (HRC) resolution that would have established a mechanism to help with the investigation of crimes committed in the occupied Palestinian territories was watered down following backroom pressure from the US, a US official and a source briefed by a European diplomat told Middle East Eye.

The final wording of the resolution, adopted by the council this week, invites the UN General Assembly only “to consider establishing” such a body.

Argentina was able to acquire over twenty Nasher fighter jets from Israel in 1982, the year of the Falklands war, with more Israeli weapons and supplies secretly transferred through Peru. 

It also used Israeli-supplied Skyhawk jets to sink four British warships, including the Sir Galahad, which resulted in the deaths of 48 soldiers.

Declassified files now reveal how Israel repeatedly misled the UK government about its military support to Argentina, provoking a diplomatic crisis between both countries.

Belgium would not arrest Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu if he visited the country, according to his Belgian counterpart Bart De Wever. "I don't think there is any European country that would arrest Netanyahu," he told VRT's Terzake talk show on Thursday evening.

The agency has thousands of pallets of aid waiting to enter the enclave, said Edouard Beigbeder, Regional Director for the Middle East and North Africa.

“Most of this aid is lifesaving – yet instead of saving lives, it is sitting in storage,” he said.

“It must be allowed in immediately. This is not a choice or charity; it is an obligation under international law.”

UNICEF warned that children receiving malnutrition treatment are at serious risk as 21 treatment centres, representing 15 per cent of total outpatient facilities, have closed due to displacement orders or bombardments.

Furthermore, only enough ready-to-use infant formula (RUIF) is currently available for 400 children for a month. Estimates indicate that nearly 10,000 infants under six months old require supplementary feeding, which could force families to use alternatives mixed with unsafe water.

On April 4, 2025, the United States carried out a military strike in Yemen aimed at a group that President Donald J. Trump identified as Houthis preparing for an attack. Trump shared a video on X, previously known as Twitter, showcasing an American airstrike targeting Houthi militants in Yemen, adding the comment ‘oops’.

Some sources claim the gathering was actually a civilian tribal event marking the celebration of Eid al-Fitr, rather than a military assembly. This discrepancy has ignited controversy surrounding the accuracy of U.S. intelligence and raised ethical concerns about the strike.

GAZA: The resumption of israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip has displaced 142,000 people in a mere seven days, the United Nations said Wednesday (Mar 26) warning of dwindling stocks of humanitarian aid.

A video, discovered on the cellphone of a paramedic who was found along with 14 other aid workers in a mass grave in Gaza in late March, shows that the ambulances and fire truck that they were traveling in were clearly marked and had their emergency signal lights on when Israeli troops hit them with a barrage of gunfire.

Doctors Without Borders/Médecins Sans Frontières (MSF) is appalled and saddened by the killing of our colleague Hussam Al Loulou in a strike on the morning of April 1 southwest of Deir al-Balah, central Gaza. His wife and 28-year-old daughter were also killed in this horrendous attack. He was 58 years old.

Danish shipping giant A.P. Moller-Maersk is quietly transporting fighter jet components to Israel, new documents suggest.

The information is contained within cargo data reviewed exclusively by Declassified and The Ditch.

The data exposes how goods from US Air Force Plant 4 in Fort Worth are being transported to Nevatim air base in Israel on two Maersk container ships between 5 April and 1 May.

The controversial company, already notorious for amassing over 50 billion facial images scraped from social platforms, signed a contract in mid-2019 with Investigative Consultant, Inc. to acquire roughly 690 million arrest records and 390 million arrest photos from across all 50 U.S. states.

"The contract shows that Clearview was trying to get social security numbers, email addresses, home addresses, and other personal information along with the mugshots," said Jeramie Scott, Senior Counsel at the Electronic Privacy Information Center, or EPIC.
