Israel fires on southern Lebanon after claiming ceasefire violation

Israel's military said on Thursday it had detected "suspects" in several areas in southern Lebanon, calling this a violation of a ceasefire with Hezbollah.

Israeli military strikes killed at least 17 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip on Thursday, medics say.

Months of efforts to negotiate a ceasefire in Gaza have yielded scant progress, and negotiations are now on hold.

Netanyahu ready to implement Lebanon ceasefire deal

He added that there were three reasons to pursue a ceasefire - to focus on Iran, replenish depleted arms supplies and give the army a rest, and finally to isolate Hamas, the militant group that triggered war in the region when it launched an attack on Israel from Gaza last year.

Ukraine has lost over 40% of the land it held in Russia’s Kursk region, senior Kyiv military source says

"At most, we controlled about 1,376 square kilometres (531 square miles), now of course this territory is smaller. The enemy is increasing its counterattacks," the source said.

"Now we control approximately 800 square kilometres (309 square miles). We will hold this territory for as long as is militarily appropriate."

Hamas-led force targets gangs looting Gaza aid convoys

Fighters from Hamas and other Gaza factions have formed an armed force to prevent gangs pillaging aid convoys in the territory, residents and sources close to the group said, after a big increase in the looting of scarce supplies.

Since being formed this month amid rising public anger at aid seizures and price gouging, the new force has staged repeated operations, ambushing looters and killing some in armed clashes, the sources said.

www.bbc.com Gaza surgeon describes drones targeting children

Children lying injured in Gaza were picked out and shot by quadcopters, a senior doctor tells MPs.

Gaza surgeon describes drones targeting children

Giving evidence to the parliamentary International Development Committee, he broke down as he described children's accounts of being shot by quadcopters. Labour MP Sarah Champion, who chairs the committee, said his evidence was "profound and deeply chilling". The 62-year-old surgeon told MPs: "What I found particularly disturbing was that a bomb would drop, maybe on a crowded, tented area and then the drones would come down." His face shook with emotion as he paused for several seconds to compose himself. He continued: "The drones would come down and pick off civilians - children. "We [were] operating on children who would say: 'I was lying on the ground after a bomb had dropped and this quadcopter came down and hovered over me and shot me.' "That's clearly a deliberate act and it was a persistent act - persistent targeting of civilians day after day."

Iran announces ‘treatment clinic’ for women who defy strict hijab laws
  • One young woman from Iran, who spoke on condition of anonymity, said: “It won’t be a clinic, it will be a prison. We are struggling to make ends meet and have power outages, but a piece of cloth is what this state is worried about. If there was a time for all of us to come back to the streets, it’s now or they’ll lock us all up.”

    Same struggle world wide, we suffer while they oppress. Power to her.

  • Cost of Doing Business Rule
  • Saying you want a ceasefire while you keep arming and funding the side causing the violence is not better, it's the same thing but with a layer of PR on top that gullible fools believe.

    To end the genocide, you need a president that doesn't support Israel.

  • Cost of Doing Business Rule
  • Harris also promised to do nothing differently than Biden.

    she would not alter the Biden administration's policies on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict and the Gaza war, stressing the need to secure a cease-fire/hostage release deal.

    https://www.haaretz.com/israel-news/2024-08-30/ty-article/harris-tells-cnn-no-change-in-bidens-israel-policy-we-have-to-get-cease-fire-deal-done/00000191-a0fd-d172-abd9-eaff68f80001

    Harris is so hopeless on the Gaza situation that she won’t even call it a genocide, but she will stress Israel’s security and rights to “defend itself”.

    You’re only kidding yourself if you think she would have meaningfully been different to the people in Gaza from Trump, both are carte blanche levels of support of Israel.

  • Cost of Doing Business Rule
  • Kamala “I Won't Change Biden's Israel Policy” Harris pledged to do everything in her power did she?

    Is that the same power Biden has, such as overriding congress to ship weapons to Israel? Or maybe it was rejecting Palestine voices at the DNC events?

    Harris and the Dems were never going to reverse course on Palestine. They’d already taken their millions in J Street and AIPAC bribes, and their action and lack of advocacy has been clear since day 1.

    Giant spiders that can grow to size of human hand thriving in the UK

    Chester zoo worked with the RSPB to raise hundreds of baby spiders, keeping them separate in test tubes so that they did not eat one another.

    The spiders were hand-fed with tweezers in the zoo’s bio-secure breeding facility until they were big enough to be released into the wild.
