US pier to be temporarily removed from Gaza coast for repairs
The Pentagon says the military pier off the coast of Gaza is being removed for repairs and will be returned once it is fixed. Pentagon spokesperson Sabrina Singh said the pier will take over a week to put back together and will be done at the Israeli port of Ashdod.
Construction of the $320m floating pier was completed in mid-May to provide aid to the Gaza Strip. It has been criticised as a complicated and costly alternative that tries to deflect attention from demanding a much simpler solution – for Israel to fully open all land crossings to Gaza and to secure aid trucks going in.
Yep, it's just a deflection, pretending to care.
Video released by Islamic Jihad allegedly shows Israeli captive
The armed group released a video appearing to show Alexander Trufanov, 28, an Israeli citizen who was taken on October 7.
Trufanov’s mother said it made her happy to see her son, but “it was heartbreaking” that he had been a captive for so long. “The proof of life from Alexsander [Sasha] Trufanov is additional evidence that the Israeli government must give a significant mandate to the negotiating team,” said a statement from the Hostages Families Forum.

“The sign of life that came tonight from Alex reminds us that there is no time,” he posted on X, together with a photo of 28-year-old Trufanov.
