Child deaths surge amid ‘Gazafication’ of West Bank, report says
Israel has brought the military tactics of its war in Gaza to the occupied West Bank, where Palestinians face mass forced displacements, a surge in airstrikes and a sharp rise in attacks on children and other civilians, a Palestinian-Israeli rights group has said.
“Israel’s complete disregard for international law in the war in Gaza is now being replicated to the West Bank,” said B’Tselem’s executive director, Yuli Novak. “Its activity there, as yet on a smaller scale than in Gaza, is already causing indiscriminate and disproportionate killing and destruction.”

Still going this guy:

US hostage envoy Adam Boehler says he doesn’t “really care” about Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer’s criticism of his direct talks with Hamas, while referring to Palestinian prisoners as “hostages.”

“I don’t really care about that that much — no offense to Dermer,” Boehler says during an interview with Israel’s Channel 13, appearing to escalate a scuffle that was first held privately between the two on Tuesday hours after Israel learned of the US hostage envoy’s direct talks with Hamas.

“If it was a big deal every time Dermer got a little bit upset… Ron might have a lot of big deals every day, Boehler says.

No idea what’s actually going to happen here, but I’ve never heard an appointed, acting American official speak like this. May amount to nothing but perhaps a taboo is being slowly degraded.
not posting because honestly i'm worried about jinxing it :lol:
 
I see they've now announced they'll stay in the occupied Syrian territory 'indefinitely'. Who could have guessed huh, not the few apologists on here that's for sure.

Looks it’s for security only, it’s not that hard to understand. They need to occupy with military first and then when that’s sorted and their border is established they can begin to build beautiful homes on it and start moving Israeli citizens in and then they know their people are safe. Well, they will be when they establish their military just outside that border as the threat to those new homes will be great.
 

“More than a human can bear”: Israel's systematic use of sexual, reproductive and other forms of gender-based violence since October 2023​
