Israeli Chief of Staff, Eyal Zamir has approved the reinstatement of several soldiers to active reserve duty despite their being accused of sexually assaulting a Palestinian prisoner at the notorious Sde Teiman military base, according to reports.

The case dates back to July 2024, when soldiers at the facility were accused of torturing and sexually assaulting a Palestinian detainee, resulting in serious injuries.

According to Haaretz, the decision includes soldiers from Unit 100, despite their being accused of mistreating a Palestinian detainee from the Gaza Strip, and before the completion of an internal military investigation.

The Israeli army stated that the ongoing investigation does not prevent reserve service, adding that the inquiry will be concluded as soon as possible.

The Israeli army stated that “the ongoing investigation does not preclude reserve duty,” adding that it would be completed as soon as possible.

Last March, the military prosecution dropped an indictment against five soldiers in connection with the case, sparking widespread international criticism from human rights organizations.

Senior military legal advisor Itai Ofer justified the decision by citing “complications in the evidentiary structure,” noting that the release of the Palestinian detainee and his return to the Gaza Strip created difficulties in establishing proof.

The five soldiers belong to Force 100, an intervention unit operating within the Sde Teiman base, which includes a commander, a translator, a guard, and personnel responsible for conducting physical searches of prisoners, as well as isolating Palestinian detainees during searches using plastic shields.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF. He asks how could anyone object to them starving people to death, forced marches like the Nazis did, bombing Gaza's hospitals and universities, mass-murdering journalists, healthworkers and starving people queuing for food, killing and raping prisoners and murdering children. He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

The flotilla was created to break Israel’s blockade of Gaza, deliver humanitarian aid and draw international attention to the situation in the enclave.

The mission includes around 70 vessels and nearly 1,000 participants from 70 countries, making it significantly larger than a previous mission in September 2025, which included 42 boats and 462 participants.

The UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) expressed outrage on Friday on the killing of two drivers contracted to deliver clean water to families in the Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.

“The victims were killed by Israeli fire in an incident that took place early this morning at the Mansoura water filling point in northern Gaza,” UNICEF said in a statement, as it extended condolences.

Stressing that the agency is “outraged” by the killings, UNICEF said it occurred during routine water trucking operations, with no changes in movement or procedures at the time of the attack.

The Mansoura water filling point is the only operational truck filling point for the Mekorot water supply line serving Gaza City.

“UNICEF and humanitarian partners use it multiple times a day to sustain critical water trucking operations for hundreds of thousands of people, including children,” it said.

Reiterating that aid workers, as well as civilians and civilian infrastructure, “must never be targeted,” the statement said “UNICEF calls on the Israeli authorities to immediately investigate this incident, and ensure full accountability.”

“The protection of civilians and those delivering life-saving assistance is an obligation under international humanitarian law,” it added.

A limited number of humanitarian aid trucks entered the northern Gaza Strip through the Zikim (Erez West) Border Crossing on Saturday, Anadolu reports.

Following their entry, the vehicles transported essential supplies to several warehouses within Gaza City.

Local sources confirmed that the aid will be distributed to Palestinian families in need across the blockaded enclave.

The arrival comes amid daily Israeli violations of the ceasefire in effect since Oct. 10, 2025. The Health Ministry said those violations have killed 765 Palestinians and wounded 2,140 others so far.

The ceasefire followed two years of Israeli genocide that began in October 2023, which has killed more than 72,340 Palestinians and wounded 172,250 others while destroying about 90% of the enclave’s infrastructure, according to Gaza authorities.

The US military is preparing “to board Iran-linked oil tankers and seize commercial ships in international waters” in the coming days, the Wall Street Journal reported on Saturday, citing US officials.

According to the Journal, the US military will pursue vessels around the world that are helping Iran should the two sides fail to conclude a deal.

Washington’s decision to step up economic pressure is intended to force Iran to reopen the strait and make concessions on its nuclear program, which has been the focus of negotiations between the US and Iran, the report said.

On Friday, Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi had declared that the strait is “completely open” for all commercial vessels.

However, an IRGC joint command statement on Saturday said that the strait had returned to its “previous state” under the control of Iran’s armed forces, citing the ongoing US blockade on Iranian ports.

On Feb. 28, the US and Israel launched a joint offensive on Iran, and Tehran retaliated with strikes on Israel and other regional countries hosting US assets.

The war has been on hold since April 8, when Pakistan mediated a two-week ceasefire.

Washington and Tehran held talks in Pakistan last weekend, and efforts for another session in Islamabad are underway.
