A wave of Israeli strikes across Gaza on Sunday hit a hospital and other sites, killing at least 21 people, including children, as Israel vowed to expand its security presence in the small coastal strip.

The predawn strike on Al-Ahli Hospital in Gaza City was the latest of several attacks on northern Gaza’s last major hospital providing critical health care.

I didn't get the advance Signal but, to the point: Why the F is the US committing bombing atrocities in #Yemen?! #abrahamAccord. It's the strategic weapons alliance responsible for the ongoing #holocaust and the blunting of any and all action to stop it. It is the US/Saudi/Israeli/Emirates, its lead-up to sparking #nuclearWar to crush Iran, for each alliance member's own reasons. The entire #genocide in occupied #Palestine and its neighbors; the "clearing" of all that strategic annoyance with all its ancient civilizations and stuff is proof-of-concept, world-rebuilding by the empire. It needs to be stopped. Start the stopping.

Just days before masked immigration agents arrested Rumeysa Ozturk on the street, the US State Department had determined there was no evidence linking her to anti-Semitic activities or support for a “terrorist” organization.

The Washington Post reported the finding was contained in an internal memo written in March.

The memo said Secretary of State Marco Rubio does not have sufficient grounds for revoking Ozturk’s visa.

Hundreds of thousands of Palestinians have been displaced by the Israeli attacks which broke Gaza's ceasefire last month.

As Israel expands its assaults on nearly every part of the Strip, displaced Palestinians are left with nowhere safe to flee to. And many are living in unsanitary conditions and risking the threat of diseases.

Al Jazeera’s Moath al-Kalhout met families living at a landfill in Gaza City, Palestine.

The destruction of Gaza and the brutal murder of its citizens continues. While Israel kills aid workers, bombs hospitals, destroys houses and infrastructure, blocks vital humanitarian aid, kills thousands of innocent children and civilians, there is no serious attempt to stop it. Shocking! #israel #Nethanyahu #gaza

The Guardian · Airstrike destroys parts of Gaza City hospital as Israel intensifies offensiveBy Hannah Ellis-Petersen

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected criticism of the Gaza war by some air force reservists, calling it "unforgivable".

Meanwhile, Netanyahu's son hides in Miami during war, expenses paid by Israeli taxpayers. Yair Netanyahu, has been living in Miami since April 2023 and is protected by the Shin Bet.

Yair in particular has been accused of living the life of a spoiled dauphin who spends most of his time on social media attacking his father’s critics.

"It is not the first time the Israeli army has targeted al-Ahli Hospital; it was bombed on October 17, 2023, in a massacre that killed over 400 displaced people taking shelter in the hospital’s crowded courtyard. At the time, directly bombing hospitals was still taboo, so the Israeli army denied targeting the hospital, instead claiming, without evidence, that an allegedly misfired Islamic Jihad rocket had struck the hospital.

In the most recent strike on al-Ahli, the Israeli army this time admitted targeting the hospital but claimed to have been attacking a Hamas command-and-control center. The Israeli army made similar claims in 2023 and 2024 about al-Shifa Hospital in #Gaza City. After the two invasions of #alShifa in November 2023 and March 2024, no evidence could be provided to substantiate these claims.

The Israeli army has not so far provided any evidence of a Hamas command center in #alAhli Arab Hospital."
