US military says aid airdrop over northern Gaza fell into the sea

The US military confirmed it completed a new airdrop of humanitarian aid over northern Gaza but 26 bundles landed in the sea.

The US Central Command said in a post on X it used two C-17 military cargo aircraft, along with “US army soldiers specialised in aerial delivery of US humanitarian assistance supplies” to drop 46,000 meal equivalents into the area, where famine is spreading.

“US Central Command does not assess civilian harm or damage to infrastructure at this time but continues to monitor the situation.”

This comes shortly after at least a dozen Palestinians drowned after airdrops landed into the sea and they had to swim to get the contents in desperation to feed their families.





Netanyahu ‘proving international inability’ to stop Gaza war

The Palestinian Foreign Ministry says Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu continues to reject all decisions, demands and orders given to Tel Aviv through international bodies, especially after ignoring the UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire in Gaza.

“He continues to place obstacles to prove the inability of the international community and its inability to enforce international law and the agreements regulating the conditions of civilians,” it said in a statement published on X.

Netanyahu is “fabricating misleading narratives” to thwart each international verdict that calls on Israel to protect civilians and abide by human rights laws, it added.




Hamas and PIJ say talks can only succeed with ceasefire, Israeli withdrawal

Hamas and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ) say mediated negotiations with Israel in Qatar can only succeed if the conditions previously demanded by the Palestinian groups are met.

Hamas politburo chief Ismail Haniyeh and PIJ leader Ziyad al-Nakhalah met in Tehran on Thursday after holding meetings with top Iranian officials, including Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.

Hamas said in a statement that both emphasised stopping Israeli aggression “in a comprehensive way”; a complete withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza; return of displaced Palestinians to their homes; and increased aid to Gaza as conditions for success in talks that would include an exchange of prisoners and captives.

Israel has previously described the demands as “delusional”.

The two Palestinian leaders also said they consider continuing US military and political support for Israel as “crimes constituting participating” in the war.

 

‘No more bombs to Israel,’ says US Senator Bernie Sanders

Earlier, we cited the Washington Post reporting that the US in recent days authorised the transfer of $2.5 billion worth of bombs and fighter jets to Israel.

US Senator Bernie Sanders slammed the move calling it “obscene”.

“The US cannot beg Netanyahu to stop bombing civilians one day and the next send him thousands more 2,000-pound [907kg] bombs that can level entire city blocks,” he said in a post on X.

“We must end our complicity: No more bombs to Israel.”
