The day Israel broke the ceasefire ‘one of the bloodiest days of the war’

According to Emily Tripp, executive director of Airwars, it was clear from the start of the war that Israel’s onslaught was the most fatal campaign the watchdog would come to document.

She told the Gaza tribunal in London that in the opening weeks of the war, “we found that each strike was proving more deadly for civilians than in wars conducted by Israel’s allies, to which Israel was comparing itself favourably”.

“We found at least 65 incidents of civilian harm in the first three weeks, where at least 20 civilians were killed, so that is 20 civilians killed in a single strike or in a series of strikes in a single location.

“This is three times the number of high-fatality incidents we recorded during the battle of Mosul, a battlefield so deadly that the UN deemed the whole city almost uninhabitable after the campaign was over, and bodies are still being recovered almost a decade [later],” she said.

She added that the deadly trend in Gaza “remained consistent” as the war progressed.

On March 18 this year, when Israel broke a ceasefire agreement, Airwars recorded “what may turn out to be one of the bloodiest days of the war,” she said. “Our teams identified almost 100 different incidents of civilian harm, that is, the targeting of 100 locations across Gaza where civilians were killed or injured.”

Jewish Journalist EXPOSES Israel's DARKEST SECRET

They Really Don't Want You To Know This.

Drawing parallels between Nazi Germany and Israel, yet also differences. Israelis cheering on the genocide. Instead of trying to hide it, celebrating performing a holocaust.

Generations of indoctrination and dehumanization have led to this. The tragic reality is it will take a lot more to undo this than defeating Nazi Germany. Hitler was in power for 12 years, Netanyahu first came to power 19 years ago and has ruled Israel for more than 17 years.

The ethnic cleansing has been going on since the 1920s, over 4 generations ago. The Israeli public has been indoctrinated their entire life including their deceased grand parents. 

And that indoctrination isn't limited to Israel, hence ongoing US and European support for genocide.

HOW TO CONSTRUCT A ZIONIST – How Children Are Made to Love Israel and Hate Palestine

We take a look at how children across the Western world—both in Jewish schools and mainstream public education—are subtly and sometimes overtly indoctrinated into the Zionist narrative.

From the transformation of Jewish schools into Zionist schools, where Israel is taught as central to Jewish identity, to the way Western textbooks minimize or erase the Nakba and Palestinian displacement, we uncover the educational structures that normalize unquestioning support for Israel.


We explore:

• How Jewish schools present Zionism as inseparable from Judaism.
• How history lessons frame Israel’s founding as heroic while silencing Palestinian suffering.
• The role of cultural programs, summer camps, and youth organizations in reinforcing Zionist ideology.
• Why the Holocaust is remembered as essential history, but Palestinian suffering is erased or dehumanized.
• How the Israeli lobby pressures schools, accusing them of antisemitism whenever they attempt a more balanced telling of Israeli-Palestinian history.
• This analysis highlights the hypocrisy of selective empathy: the Holocaust is rightly remembered as a defining human tragedy, but the ongoing suffering of Palestinians is dismissed, ignored, or deemed politically unacceptable to acknowledge.


By examining education, culture, media, and lobbying, this video exposes how entire generations are conditioned to view Israel’s wars as self-defence while seeing Palestinians as disposable.

If you care about truth, justice, and balanced education, this is a conversation that cannot be ignored.

Israeli public wants end to war, but that isn’t swaying Netanyahu

Alon Pinkas, a former Israeli diplomat, notes that a recent poll has shown that most of the Israeli public wants an immediate end to the country’s war on Gaza.

In contrast, Netanyahu’s office yesterday rejected a statement by Hamas reiterating its readiness to reach a deal that would lead to a long-term halt to the war and the release of Israeli captives held in Gaza.

“The public is also completely unclear and suspicious of what exactly it is that Mr Netanyahu is planning in Gaza,” said Pinkas, adding there is wariness about the long-term costs that will be incurred if the Israeli prime minister goes ahead with plans to fully reoccupy the Gaza Strip.

“The public mood, I’d say, is deflated and dejected,” he told Al Jazeera.

Israel saw most protests in August since war began: ACLED

Armed Conflict Location & Event Data (ACLED), an armed conflict monitoring group, says more than 300 protests were recorded across Israel last month as the Israeli government escalated its war on Gaza – more than double the number of protests held in July.

“Nearly two years into the war, this is the largest number of Israeli protests we have seen,” Ameneh Mehvar, a Middle East senior analyst at ACLED, said in a statement.

“Throughout the month, public dissent has mounted from diverse groups in Israel. The largest share has been organized by families of hostages and their supporters, demanding a ceasefire deal to secure the hostages’ release.”

Palestinian citizens of Israel also took to the streets to condemn Israel’s Gaza bombardment and starvation policy. Meanwhile, Ultra-Orthodox Jewish groups also demonstrated against a push to recruit yeshiva students into the Israeli military.

“Nearly 70 demonstrations last month specifically called for Netanyahu’s resignation, accusing him of prioritizing political survival over the hostages’ return,” Mehvar added.

Israeli police arrests eight people at Gaza protest in Haifa

Israeli police detained eight people in Haifa after they joined a demonstration condemning Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza. The arrests took place on Ben Gurion Street, where protesters held signs and chanted slogans, according to local media reports.

Police said the group had ignored repeated orders to disperse.

Israel’s Saar says no Macron visit as France plans to recognise Palestinian state

Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar has urged France to reconsider its plan to recognise a Palestinian state during a call with French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot, Israel’s Foreign Ministry says.

The ministry said Saar also told Barrot there was “no room” for a visit by French President Emmanuel Macron to Israel as long as Paris “persists in its initiative and efforts that harm Israel’s interests”.

Macron announced in July that France would recognise an independent Palestinian state at the UN next month in New York, where it will be co-hosting a conference on the two-state solution alongside Saudi Arabia.

US’s Rubio blames countries recognising Palestine for Israeli annexation push

US Secretary of State Marco Rubio has effectively blamed France and other countries who plan to recognise a Palestinian state for an Israeli push to annex the occupied West Bank.

Rubio was asked by a reporter during a visit to Ecuador for his reaction to an Israeli annexation drive that has been gaining steam, with far-right Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich this week calling on Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu to annex most of the territory.

“We told all these countries, we told them all. We said, if you guys do this recognition stuff – it’s all fake, it’s not even real – if you do it, you’re going to create big problems,” Rubio said.

Describing the annexation push as “not a final thing”, the top US diplomat said he wouldn’t comment further. “What I am going to say is it was wholly predictable,” he told reporters.

“We told [these countries] that if they did this, if they went through with this thing, there wasn’t going to be a Palestinian state … and we told them that it would lead to these sort of reciprocal actions and it would make a [Gaza] ceasefire harder.”

Experts say Israel has maintained a policy of de facto annexation in the West Bank for years – long before France and other Western countries recently announced plans to recognise an independent Palestinian state.

They also say Smotrich and other far-right members of the Israeli government have been using Israel’s war on Gaza as a way to solidify the country’s control over the West Bank.

Israel has de facto been annexing the West Bank since 1967. The Oslo accords did nothing to stop the theft of Palestinian land through illegal settlements and buffer zones.

US imposes fresh sanctions on Palestinian NGOs

The US Treasury has imposed sanctions on Al Haq, Al Mezan Center for Human Rights, and the Palestinian Centre for Human Rights (PCHR) for cooperating with the International Criminal Court, which has also been a target of US sanctions under the second Trump administration.

“These entities have directly engaged in efforts by the International Criminal Court (ICC) to investigate, arrest, detain, or prosecute Israeli nationals, without Israel’s consent”, US Secretary of State Marco Rubio said in a statement.

The three groups have been added to the Treasury’s Special Designated Nationals list, “a list of individuals and companies owned or controlled by, or acting for or on behalf of, targeted countries”, according to its website.

The US is currently pursuing a pressure campaign against the court over its issuance of arrest warrants for Israeli leaders for alleged war crimes in Gaza.

We condemn in the strongest terms the draconian sanctions imposed by The Department of the Treasury's Office of Foreign Assets Control (OFAC) on our organisations: @alhaq_org , @AlMezanCenter & @pchrgaza/1

US sanctions ‘cement complicity in Israel’s crimes’: Legal group

The Center for Constitutional Rights (CCR), a US-based legal advocacy group, has condemned the Trump administration’s decision to sanction three prominent Palestinian rights groups.

CCR noted that today’s sanctions come months after the US designated Palestinian prisoner advocacy group Addameer, as well as the UN special rapporteur on human rights in the occupied Palestinian territory, Francesca Albanese.

“By targeting civil society, human rights organizations, and international mechanisms, the administration is attempting to undermine the infrastructure of support for the most vulnerable communities,” CCR said in a statement.

“This dangerous, authoritarian sequence should alarm us all.”

‘The unthinkable in Gaza City has already begun’, UNICEF warns

Tess Ingram, UNICEF’s communication manager for the Middle East and North Africa, told a UN briefing from Gaza that famine and bombardment are pushing children to the brink.

“Gaza City, the last refuge for families in the north, is fast becoming a place where childhood cannot survive”, she said, warning that almost 1 million people remain trapped in a “city of fear, flight and funerals”.

Ingram described hospitals on the verge of collapse, with only five neonatal intensive care units left and incubators running at double capacity. Malnutrition clinics are overwhelmed, she said, with children relapsing just weeks after treatment as food and aid remain blocked.

She highlighted the story of Nesma, a mother whose two-year-old daughter Jouri died of Israeli-induced starvation last month, while her nine-year-old, Jana, now clings to life.

“This unthinkable is not looming – it is already here. The escalation is under way,” she said of the Israeli army’s Gaza City incursion. “The cost of inaction will be measured in the lives of children buried in rubble, wasted by hunger, and silenced before they ever had a chance to speak,” Ingram said.

Footage shows civil defence crew pulling bodies from rubble in Gaza City

Gaza’s civil defence teams were filmed rescuing victims from under the rubble of a destroyed house in the Zeitoun neighbourhood of Gaza City, where Israeli forces have been intensifying attacks as part of their planned offensive to seize the enclave’s urban centre.

The video, posted on social media and verified by Al Jazeera, shows rescuers using only basic tools and their hands to lift debris from the destroyed home that belonged to the al-Ghaf family.

According to the civil defence member who filmed the scene, three bodies were recovered, while others were pulled out injured. At least 35 people have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza City so far today, sources at local hospitals tell Al Jazeera.

Gaza death toll hits 75 Palestinians killed since dawn today

That figure includes 44 people who were killed in Gaza City amid Israel’s unrelenting military assault, hospital sources tell Al Jazeera.

Satellite images show scale of Gaza City displacement

Al Jazeera’s Sanad fact-checking agency has reviewed recent satellite images that show widespread displacement of residents from northern and central Gaza City towards the west along al-Rashid Street and the beach.

The high-quality images captured on August 25 and September 1 show clear changes in the areas where displaced people have set up tents. Those displacement camps began to disappear from the neighbourhoods of Daraj, Sheikh Radwan and Jabalia, Sanad said, while congestion was observed in several areas west of the city and along al-Rashid Street.

Additionally, Sanad reported an increase in the number of camps in areas where the Israeli authorities issued evacuation warnings in the northwest of Gaza City.

“Satellite images captured on August 25 also showed a heavy presence of more than 52 Israeli army vehicles in the al-Zeitoun neighbourhood in the southeast of the city, within a perimetre of less than 500 metres [1,640 feet],” Sanad said.

The surge in forced displacement comes as Israel pushes ahead with its plan to seize Gaza City, carrying out a relentless barrage of deadly attacks.

Israeli army says in control of 40 percent of Gaza City

A spokesperson for the Israeli military says Israel now controls 40 percent of the city in northern Gaza, including the neighbourhoods of Zeitoun and Sheikh Radwan.

“The operation will continue to expand and intensify in the coming days,” Brigadier General Effie Defrin said during a news conference.

Defring added that the army will only end its operations when Israeli captives are released and Hamas’s rule ends.

Two Palestinians shot in Israeli raid near Ramallah

Two young men were wounded by Israeli live fire after forces stormed the Jalazone refugee camp, north of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, Wafa news agency reported.

One was shot in the hip and hand, and the other in the foot. Both were reported to be in a stable condition, it said.

Israeli forces have carried out near-daily raids and incursions into Palestinian towns and villages across the West Bank since launching their genocidal war on Gaza. The raids are typically accompanied by mass arrests, destruction of infrastructure, home demolitions and killings.

Israeli forces raid multiple towns near Nablus

Israeli forces carried out raids in several towns across the Nablus area in the occupied West Bank, including Sebastia to the northwest and Duma and Aqraba to the south, Wafa news agency reported, citing local officials.

The mayor of Sebastia said troops storm the town almost daily, raiding homes, smashing property and forcing shops to close. He described the latest raid as accompanied by provocations and heavy reinforcements.

In Duma, Israeli forces entered the al-Samara neighbourhood and surrounding Bedouin communities, while in Aqraba troops spread out across several areas of the town, the local village council said.

Canadian MP unveils push to close weapons export ‘loophole’

A Canadian parliament member has announced plans to introduce a bill that aims to close a longstanding “loophole” that allows Canadian-made weapons and weapons components to reach Israel via the United States.

A US-Canada defence pact allows most Canadian weapons to be sent to the country’s southern neighbour without a permit or other oversight prescribed under the UN Arms Trade Treaty, to which Canada is a signatory.

Jenny Kwan, an MP with the left-wing New Democratic Party (NDP), said her bill would “ensure Canadian arms exports to the United States are treated the same as any other country, subject to risk assessments, permits and transparency requirements”.

“Canada tell[s] the world that we have strong laws and regulatory provisions. But in practice, our bullets, our [weapons] parts, our technology are flowing through the back door of the US into some of the bloodiest conflicts on Earth,” Kwan told reporters.

“Let’s be clear: While children are being pulled from rubble, while families are being bombed and starved, weapons and components manufactured in Canada are still being used. This is totally unacceptable,” she said, referring to Israel’s war on Gaza.

Labour MP says will launch new ‘sanctions on Israel’ bill

Richard Burgon has told the “Gaza tribunal” in London that he plans to launch the bill in parliament next week and form a new parliamentary working group that supports tougher sanctions on Israel.

He accused the UK of a “double standard” in its response to Israel’s onslaught in Gaza compared with its handling of Russia’s war on Ukraine.

“We are witnessing a genocide, livestreamed in real time, tens of thousands murdered with impunity, children starved, hospitals bombed, war crime after war crime, and some governments, including the UK, are helping to arm Israel, including with the parts for the world’s most powerful fighter jets,” he said. “That’s one form of complicity.”

Another form, he said, is “political complicity”: “I would argue that [the UK government] is also complicit through the political green lights that they give Israel.”

The government should have used “every single tool at its disposal, from sanctions … to using its role in the UN and elsewhere to force, not plead with Israel, to stop”, Burgon added.

He said the UK “rightly imposed sanctions on Russia”, but “next to nothing” is done regarding sanctioning Israel. While the UK has slapped sanctions regularly and broadly on Russian officials and individuals, it has sanctioned just two far-right Israeli ministers.

UK’s Palestine Action ban: Six activists deny ‘terror’ charges

Six activists have been released on bail after denying “terror” charges in the United Kingdom for their alleged support for the group Palestine Action. The activists, aged between 26 and 62, risk up to 14 years in prison.

The British government proscribed Palestine Action in July under the country’s Terrorism Act 2000, drawing widespread criticism that the move infringes on freedom of speech and the right to protest.

Hundreds of people have been arrested across the UK since then for expressing support for the group at rallies in several cities.

Representatives of the group Defend Our Juries, to which the arrested individuals belonged, confirmed yesterday that more demonstrations would go ahead on Saturday in London in England, Derry in Northern Ireland, and Edinburgh in Scotland.

Israel must be stopped ‘before all Gaza journalists are silenced’: UN experts

UN experts have called on countries around the world to take action to protect Palestinian journalists in Gaza as Israeli attacks have killed at least 248 media workers in the enclave since October 2023.

“On the one hand, Israel continues to deny access to any international media, and on the other, it kills with impunity local journalists who are the world’s only professional lens into the agony of genocide and famine unfolding in Gaza,” the experts said in a statement.

“Even as the journalists starve, lose family members, sleep in tents and get targeted by the Israeli military like the rest of Gaza’s population, they have continued to courageously bear witness to atrocities committed by the Israeli military.”

They called for independent criminal investigations into Israel’s killings of journalists, as well as “full reparations and justice for their families”.
