Doctors at Gaza’s Nasser Hospital vow not to abandon patients

In a letter addressed to the public, the medical staff of Nasser Hospital, in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, have said they are running the hospital under “harsh conditions”, with ailing and injured patients, many women and children, being treated while under Israeli bombardment.

“Tell the world about us. Tell them that we chose death rather than abandon our noble mission,” part of the letter read.

“Don’t say we’re heroes. Just say that we understood what it means to be truly human, and forgive us. We are not numbers,” it added.

MSF says clinic in Khan Younis evacuated amid Israeli military advance

Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says an Israeli advance on western Khan Younis in southern Gaza has led it to evacuate a clinic and “seriously impacted” operations at another.

In a post on social media platform X, the charity said the expansion of an Israeli military incursion into an area full of displaced civilians had driven them into a smaller area next to the sea, with jets and drones firing without warning, and tanks advancing on crowds of people.

The advance meant MSF had to suspend activities and evacuate its al-Attar clinic, as tanks came as close as 100 metres (328 feet) to the facility, and bullets and shrapnel hit the building.

“The quadcopter and the military vehicles stationed near the clinic were firing. Several bullets penetrated the facility. Then we heard multiple explosions around the clinic, and shrapnel hit the building,” said Rami Abu Anza, MSF nursing team supervisor at the clinic.

The post said MSF’s al-Mawasi clinic was also affected. It said it had received two boys who had been shot and critically injured at the GHF aid distribution site in Rafah, but was unable to transfer them to hospitals because those nearby were too dangerous to reach, or full.

‘Beyond horrific. I saw a little girl without a head’: Witness of Israeli school attack

Our colleague Ibrahim al-Khalili has spoken to survivors of the deadly overnight Israeli attack that we reported earlier on Halimah al-Saadiyah School, which was sheltering displaced people in Jabalia an-Nazla, in northern Gaza.

“I saw the whole area filled with dust – that’s when I realised the strike had hit this place,” Abu Haitham Khalla told Al Jazeera, standing among the rubble.

“The panic, fear, and terror that swept through the school was overwhelming. There were about 1,000 displaced people sheltering here – tents and classrooms all being used as refuge,” he said.

“So far, 10 people have been confirmed killed, in addition to many injuries – all of them women and children.”

Another witness, Ahmed Khalla, said he found dead people lying on the floor of a classroom.

“Children torn apart, charred. Women who had done absolutely nothing. The scenes were beyond horrific. I saw a little girl without a head – literally, without a head.”

Conditions in Gaza deteriorate even further after GHF shut most aid points

Palestinians are struggling to afford necessities and food available in local markets. The amount of food given by the controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is not enough, either.

The realities on the ground started to deteriorate sharply after the GHF decided to close down most of the aid centres it operated in the enclave. It kept only one aid centre operational in Rafah city, in the far south of the Strip.

This step has been raising serious concerns as aid workers say one active aid centre will not be enough to meet the catastrophic needs of two million Palestinians. Most of them are injured, displaced, hungry and traumatised.

Signs of hunger everywhere in Gaza

It’s been very difficult watching the death toll rising amid a humanitarian situation that is worsening by the hour. The decision by the GHF to suspend operations in all but one of its distribution sites is devastating and likely to exacerbate an already desperate situation.

We’re talking about 2 million people who rely on these centres due to the GHF monopoly on the aid system.

Hunger is quite visible now. Signs of it are everywhere. People are going hungry and fainting in the street because they don’t eat enough. Any food parcels they might pick up are not enough to feed a family. Families are only allowed to pick up one parcel each time they show up at a distribution centre.

Mostly aid seekers among 12 people killed by Israeli forces in southern Gaza

We have received disturbing reports in the past hour, suggesting that 10 Palestinians have been killed and 16 wounded near the GHF aid centre – the only functioning distribution point located in Rafah. They were transported to the nearby Nasser Hospital after being shot at by Israeli snipers.

We have heard from locals that a great deal of panic erupted at the site of the aid centre during the attack. Later, the security contractors, along with the Israeli military, started to shoot to disperse hungry crowds.

The climbing death toll reflects a blatant Israeli strategy to cause more harm to Palestinians who are trying to get food supplies. People keep taking the risk just to feed their families, despite the fact that aid seekers have been shot at around these centres.

Separately, a source in Nasser Hospital said two people were killed in Israeli shelling of the al-Satar area, northwest of Khan Younis city.

Nearly 800 Palestinians killed at Gaza aid points, convoys: UN human rights office

The UN human rights office says it has recorded at least 798 killings both at aid points run by the US and Israeli-backed GHF and near humanitarian convoys run by other relief groups, including the UN.

“Up until the seventh of July, we’ve recorded now 798 killings, including 615 in the vicinity of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation sites, and 183 presumably on the route of aid convoys,” OHCHR spokesperson Ravina Shamdasani told reporters in Geneva.

The GHF began distributing food packages in Gaza at the end of May.

Israeli forces destroy makeshift shelters in so-called ‘safe zone’

The al-Mawasi area at the western edge of Khan Younis is a place designated by the Israeli military as a “safe zone.” Yet, just two days ago, Israeli ground forces launched a sudden incursion here without any prior warning.

Flimsy and overcrowded makeshift shelters have been completely destroyed.

We can see people’s property torn apart, with the scale of destruction clearly visible and extensive. The damage isn’t limited to civilian homes, but also includes vehicles used for transportation. Families are trying to gather whatever remains of their shelters.

Eyewitnesses tell us that, during the incursion, Israeli forces carried out digging operations at a nearby public cemetery in the al-Mawasi area.

Witnesses said the military has taken some bodies [from the graves], with families now forced to relocate the bodies of their loved ones from this grave, as it is no longer safe.

WFP says Gaza hunger crisis ‘worse than ever’

The UN World Food Programme (WFP) has warned the hunger crisis in the Gaza Strip has reached an unprecedented level, with humanitarian efforts crippled by access restrictions.

“The situation is worse than I’ve ever seen it before,” said Carl Skau, WFP’s deputy executive director, during a news conference at UN headquarters in New York after his fourth visit to Gaza.

Skau revealed that the “humanitarian needs have never been higher” and noted that the UN’s “ability to respond and to assist has never been more constrained”.

“Malnutrition is surging,” he said, adding that 90,000 children are now in urgent need of treatment for malnutrition. “One in three people in Gaza go for days without eating.”

Israel’s plan to push Palestinians into Rafah part of ‘second Nakba’

British Israeli analyst Daniel Levy says he believes the Israeli proposal to drive Palestinians in Gaza to a “humanitarian city” amid the ruins of Rafah is part of an Israeli plan for a “second Nakba”, more comprehensive than the original ethnic cleansing of Palestine.

“We are witnessing, it seems, a second Nakba,” Levy, president of the US/Middle East Project, told Al Jazeera, referring to the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians during the 1948 establishment of Israel.

“The idea of displacing Palestinians, removing them from the geographical expanse is not a new one,” he said.

“The intention is for this to be more comprehensive than the original ethnic cleansing … and the attempts subsequently to displace Palestinians.”

Israeli plans for ethnic cleansing of Gaza revealed ‘in dribs and drabs’

British-Israeli analyst Daniel Levy says Israel’s vision for the ethnic cleansing of Palestinians from Gaza, which he says it currently appears to be pursuing, has been revealed “in dribs and drabs” during the war.

Speaking to Al Jazeera, Levy, the president of the US/Middle East Project, said that in December 2023, plans had circulated in the Israeli prime minister’s office “for something called the Gaza Rehabilitation Authority, which was designed to … ‘rebuild Gaza from nothing’”.

“We know of plans that circulated in Israeli government ministries to push Palestinians into the Sinai,” he said. “We then know that Israeli ministers openly talked about ethnic cleansing, and pushed Palestinians from as much of Gaza as possible, trying to push them into southern areas.”

In February, Israel had created “a Directorate for the Voluntary Transition of Gaza Residents”, Levy said, adding that “there’s nothing voluntary about pushing people out when you’ve destroyed all the homes”.

He said the latest stages had seen GHF aid distribution hubs set up that have become “slaughter zones”, and Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz’s proposal for Palestinians to receive aid in a “humanitarian city” established in the ruins of Rafah.

Satellite images show apparent Israeli preparations for ‘concentration camp’ in Rafah

Al Jazeera has seen satellite images that reveal Israeli plans to create a concentration camp in southern Gaza – an alarming scheme to carry forward Israel’s genocide in Gaza.

The images show large tracts of land being cleared of buildings, seemingly in preparation for the forced transfer of Palestinians.

Israel’s defence minister has said that eventually the entire population of Gaza will be moved there – that’s more than two million people.

Relocating Palestinians to Rafah appears to have been Israel’s plan from ‘day one’

Israel’s proposal to relocate Palestinians in a so-called “humanitarian city” in southern Gaza is merely the latest disclosure about a plan that appears to have been in place since “day one” of the war, says an analyst.

Tamer Qarmout, an associate professor in public policy from the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, told Al Jazeera that it appeared that “the plan has been there from the beginning”.

“Now, we are just witnessing the operational aspects of it being implemented on the ground,” he said.

He said it was unclear whether Israel’s intention was to concentrate Gaza’s estimated two million people in the ruins of southern Gaza, or to use the site as a staging point for mass displacement of Palestinians beyond Gaza’s borders.

“It could be either,” he said. “Everything they say has to be taken seriously, because this government has crossed all the lines.”

Egypt, China call for international efforts for reconstruction of Gaza

The remarks came as Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi received the premier of the State Council of China, Li Qiang, yesterday, in the presence of Egyptian Prime Minister Mostafa Madbouly, according to a statement by the presidency in Cairo.

Both parties underscored the necessity of reaching a ceasefire in the Strip, ensuring the immediate delivery of humanitarian aid, and the importance of reaching a just and comprehensive solution to the Palestinian issue.

The top officials also expressed the urgent need to mobilise international support for the implementation of an Arab-initiated project aimed at rebuilding Gaza.

The leaders stated that global support must be quickly organised for the implementation of the plan for the reconstruction of Gaza, adopted at the extraordinary session of the Arab Summit held in Cairo on March 4.

The plan envisions the establishment of a “Gaza Management Committee” to manage the Gaza Strip during a six-month transitional period.

How the US weaponises a hate group to stifle activism for the Palestinian cause

The United States government has acknowledged its use of Canary Mission — a shadowy pro-Israel website — to identify pro-Palestine students for deportation, sparking anger and concern by rights advocates.

Activists have long suspected that the administration of US President Donald Trump is gathering information from the Canary Mission website to target students and professors.

But on Wednesday, that suspicion was confirmed when a Department of Homeland Security official testified in a court case challenging Trump’s efforts to deport pro-Palestinian student protesters.

Peter Hatch, an agent with Immigration and Customs Enforcement, said the department had assembled a specialised group — dubbed a “tiger team” — to work on removing pro-Palestine college students from the country.

He indicated to the court that some tips about students were communicated verbally, before explaining that the team had also combed through the nearly 5,000 profiles Canary Mission had compiled of Israel’s critics.

“You mean someone said, ‘Here is a list that the Canary Mission has put together?’” Judge William Young asked Hatch, according to court transcripts.

The official answered with a simple “yes”.

Netanyahu willing to agree to 60-day truce, but prepared to resume war

For the first time, Netanyahu has acknowledged publicly that Israel is seeking an end to the war. However, they want it on their terms.

Netanyahu has said in Washington that Israel is willing to enter into this 60-day temporary ceasefire and start negotiations for a permanent end to the war.

But there are what he calls minimal requirements for Israel to end the fighting in Gaza. The first is for Hamas to lay down its weapons. The second is for Hamas to militarily and politically disband. The third is for Hamas to not be in the picture going forward.

Netanyahu says one way or another, Israel is going to achieve its objectives – that if during those 60 days, Israel is not getting what it wants diplomatically, they’re going to return to the fighting.

Relative ‘not convinced’ returning captives is Israel’s top priority after PM meeting

Moshe Lavi, the brother-in-law of Omri Miran, was among a group of families of Israeli captives still held in Gaza who met with Prime Minister Netanyahu in Washington, DC, on Wednesday.

Posting on X, Lavi said he left that meeting “not convinced” that returning Israeli captives from Gaza is Netanyahu’s top priority.

“Prime Minister, I was not convinced yesterday that you have the hostages in mind after the decisions regarding Iran and Lebanon and the blood-soaked achievements in Gaza,” he wrote in response to a post by Netanyahu.

“As I told you in the meeting: the fate of the hostages and our social contract are at stake if you choose a partial solution again, rather than the formula that the Trump administration claims is possible – returning all 50 hostages, even at the cost of ending the war,” he added.

Trump, Netanyahu exchange confirms two-state solution died ‘long time ago’

An exchange between US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in Washington clearly signalled that the US commitment to a two-state solution is dead and buried, Israeli journalist Gideon Levy says.

Asked by a reporter whether there would be a two-state solution, Trump deferred to Netanyahu, who replied that Palestinians should have powers to govern themselves, but not to threaten Israel, “which means that certain powers like overall security will always remain in our hands”.

Levy told Al Jazeera that the exchange was “an official declaration of the death” of the two-state solution, which in effect had died “a long time ago”.

He said there were “some benefits” to dealing with the reality of the situation, rather than continuing with the “masquerade” of a two-state solution, while Israeli settlers continue to occupy “any piece of land in the West Bank”.

“We have to face it: there will never be a Palestinian state and we have to think about the conclusions and the consequences, namely to think about a different vision,” said Levy.

“There is no serious chance for a Palestinian state as long as the occupation continues and above all as long as the settlement project continues.”

Palestinians flee West Bank villages fearing Israeli settler violence

A UN report says almost 800 Palestinians have died seeking aid from distribution points run by the Israeli-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation in Gaza, with some of those also killed near aid trucks, since the end of May.

Why are Israeli war criminals hiding out in Patagonia?

The Grayzone's Oscar Leon examines reports of Israeli veterans of Gaza hiding out in the Patagonia region of Argentina, a country governed by a hardcore supporter of Israel who has forged close ties to messianic networks and the government of Benjamin Netanyahu.

To place the issue in a wider context, Leon spoke to veteran Argentine journalist Sebastian Salgado, and Santiago Cuneo, a former boss of Milei and now one of his fiercest opponents.

Israeli raids target several areas across occupied West Bank

According to several Palestinian news platforms, Israeli forces stormed the town of Tuqu, southeast of Bethlehem in the occupied West Bank. Israeli forces also stormed the town of Halhul, north of Hebron, in the southern part of the occupied territory. Meanwhile, videos published by local Palestinian platforms showed Israeli soldiers storming the village of Tayasir, east of Tubas.

State Department says it is aware of US citizen death in West Bank attack

We have been reporting on an Israeli settler attack on Friday in the occupied West Bank town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah, in which two Palestinians were killed and several others injured. The US State Department confirmed on Friday it was aware of the death of Palestinian American, Seif al-Din Muslat, who was fatally beaten by Israeli settlers during that attack. 

It declined to comment on the death of Musalat – who was from Tampa, Florida – “out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones”.

A spokesman for the Palestinian Authority, Anas Abu el-Ezz, told the AFP news agency that 23-year-old Saif al-Din Kamil Abdul Karim Muslat “died after being severely beaten all over his body” by settlers in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah. Muslat had traveled from his home in Florida to visit family in Palestine, his cousin Fatmah Muhammad said in a social media post.

“The young man was injured and remained so for four hours. The army prevented us from reaching him and did not allow us to take him away,” said Abdul Samad Abdul Aziz, from the nearby village of al-Mazraa al-Sharqiya. “When we finally managed to reach him, he was taking his last breath.” AFP footage from Ramallah showed the young man’s body being carried through the streets draped in a Palestinian flag and flanked by about 100 mourners.

CAIR condemns ‘racist’ deadly attack by Israeli settlers in West Bank

The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) has condemned the killing of Palestinian American Seif al-Din Muslat by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah.

“We strongly condemn these racist Israeli settlers, backed and enabled by the Netanyahu government, for beating an American citizen to death in the occupied West Bank,” the US’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation said.

“This murder is only the latest killing of an American citizen by illegal Israeli settlers or soldiers. Every other murder of an American citizen has gone unpunished by the American government.”

It cited the killing of Al Jazeera journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, who was shot by Israeli snipers in 2022 while covering an Israeli raid on Jenin refugee camp. Turkish American peace activist Aysenur Ezgi Eygi was also shot and killed as she protested against illegal settlements.

CAIR called on the Trump administration to “put America first” by holding Israel accountable for the latest murder of an American citizen.
