At least 51 Palestinians were killed and dozens of others injured on Saturday when Israeli warplanes and artillery struck multiple locations across the Gaza Strip, including areas sheltering displaced families, Anadolu reports.

In the latest attack, eight Palestinians, including five children and a woman, were killed, and more than 27 others were injured in an Israeli air strike targeting a group of civilians near the Yafa School shelter center in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, according to Gaza Civil Defense.

At least 11 Palestinians were killed when Israeli shelling struck a popular market in the Al-Tuffah neighborhood east of Gaza City, it said.

Earlier, in the northern part of the strip, two Palestinians, including a child, were killed and 12 others injured in an Israeli strike on the Adnan Al-Alami School, which shelters displaced families northwest of Gaza City, medical sources told Anadolu.

Separately, two Palestinians were killed when an Israeli air strike hit a home in the neighborhood of Jabalia al-Balad.

In Deir al-Balah, central Gaza, two civilians were killed in an Israeli attack on a group of people gathered east of the city.

Medical sources said three Palestinians were killed in an Israeli strike on the Al-Saftawi area in northern Gaza City.

Two Palestinians were also killed by Israeli gunfire while waiting to receive US-Israeli aid south of Gaza City.

Strikes on people seeking aid

In southern Gaza, six more Palestinians were killed and several others were injured in an Israeli air strike that targeted a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, the sources added.

Seven more Palestinians were killed in two Israeli air strikes on Khan Younis in southern Gaza.

Another air strike targeted a displaced family’s tent in the same area, killing one person and injuring several others. A separate strike in the area wounded six more people.

Seven more Palestinian, who were waiting to receive aid west of Rafah in southern Gaza, were also shot dead by Israeli forces, medical sources said.

Israeli forces also opened fire on Palestinians waiting for humanitarian aid near a distribution point associated with the controversial US-Israeli aid mechanism near the Netzarim corridor. At least 10 people were injured by live ammunition, according to local medical teams.

Since May 27, Israel and the US have been operating an aid distribution system independent of the UN and major humanitarian agencies. Critics have condemned the initiative as a “death trap,” as Israeli troops have repeatedly opened fire on crowds seeking food and supplies.

As of Wednesday, Gaza’s Health Ministry reported that at least 549 Palestinians had been killed and more than 4,066 injured while attempting to receive aid at these distribution sites.

Separately, at least eight Palestinians were injured when the Israeli artillery targeted two homes in the northern Gaza town of Jabalia at dawn.

Rejecting international calls for a ceasefire, the Israeli army has pursued a brutal offensive against Gaza since October 2023, killing more than 56,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children.

Last November, the International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.

Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

Egypt on Saturday condemned the killing of three Palestinians by Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank, calling the attacks a “flagrant violation” of international law and urging international intervention, Anadolu reports.

The statement came after settlers stormed the town of Kafr Malik near Ramallah, killing three Palestinians and injuring seven others, according to the Palestinian Health Ministry.

“Cairo strongly condemns the ongoing settler attacks on Palestinians in the West Bank, the latest of which left three dead and several wounded in the village of Kafr Malik,” Egypt’s Foreign Ministry said.

The ministry described the violence as a “blatant violation of international law and efforts aimed at achieving security and stability,” and called on the international community to take action “to put an end to these grave violations and confront the injustices faced by the Palestinian people.”

Egypt also reiterated its support for the establishment of an independent Palestinian state along the 1967 borders.

Dozens of settlers stormed Kafr Malik, torching Palestinian vehicles as residents from the town and neighboring villages tried to repel the attack, according to Palestine’s official Wafa news agency.

Separately, the Al-Baydar Organization for the Defense of Bedouin Rights said illegal settlers also attacked residents of the Arab al-Kaabneh community near the Carmelo junction southeast of Ramallah.

Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war on Gaza on Oct. 7, 2023, at least 986 Palestinians have been killed and more than 7,000 injured in the West Bank by Israeli forces and settlers, the Palestinian Health Ministry said.

In a landmark opinion last July, the International Court of Justice declared Israel’s occupation of Palestinian territory illegal and called for the evacuation of all settlements in the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Home Office staff concerned about ‘absurd’ Palestine Action ban, says senior civil servant

Anonymous source describes ‘tense atmosphere’ after Yvette Cooper announced plans to proscribe protest group

Home Office staff are concerned about the “absurd” decision to ban Palestine Action under UK anti-terrorism laws, a senior civil servant has said.

On Monday the home secretary, Yvette Cooper, announced plans to ban the group, which would make membership of it, or inviting support for it, a criminal offence under the Terrorism Act, carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison.

It would be the first time a direct action protest group has been classified as a terrorist organisation, joining the likes of Islamic State, al-Qaida and National Action. The move has been condemned as draconian by many other protest groups, civil society organisations and politicians of different stripes.

A senior Home Office official, who requested anonymity as they are not allowed to speak to the press, said concerns about proscribing Palestine Action extended into the home secretary’s own department.

“My colleagues and I were shocked by the announcement,” they said. “All week, the office has been a very tense atmosphere, charged with concern about treating a non-violent protest group the same as actual terrorist organisations like Isis, and the dangerous precedent this sets.

BBC last week announced it had dropped the film over concerns it may create a ‘perception of partiality’

Channel 4 will air a documentary about the plight of medics in Gaza after the BBC last week announced that it would not show the film after concerns it may create “a perception of partiality that would not meet the high standards that the public rightly expect”.

The BBC had commissioned Gaza: Doctors Under Attack more than a year ago from an independent production company called Basement Films but had delayed airing it until an ongoing review into a different programme on the region was completed.

The one-off documentary, which includes witness accounts from frontline Palestinian health workers in Gaza and documents attacks on hospitals and clinics, will now air on Channel 4 on 2 July at 10pm.

…

Louisa Compton, Channel 4’s head of news and current affairs and specialist factual and sport, said in a statement: “This is a meticulously reported and important film examining evidence which supports allegations of grave breaches of international law by Israeli forces that deserves to be widely seen and exemplifies Channel 4’s commitment to brave and fearless journalism.”

In an op-ed, Compton further explained: “We are showing this programme because we believe that, following thorough factchecking and verification, we are presenting a duly impartial view of a subject that both divides opinion and frequently provokes dispute about what constitutes a fact.
