Israeli-Palestinian magazine says IDF ‘legitimisation cell’ set up to blunt global outrage over killing of media staff

A special unit in Israel’s military was tasked with identifying reporters it could smear as undercover Hamas fighters, to target them and to blunt international outrage over the killing of media workers, the Israeli-Palestinian outlet +972 Magazine reports.

The “legitimisation cell” was set up after the 7 October 2023 Hamas attack to gather information that could bolster Israel’s image and shore up diplomatic and military support from key allies, the report said, citing three intelligence sources.

According to the report, in at least one case the unit misrepresented information in order to falsely describe a journalist as a militant, a designation that in Gaza is in effect a death sentence. The label was reversed before the man was attacked, one of the sources said.

Earlier this week, Israel killed the Al Jazeera journalist Anas al-Sharif and three colleagues in their makeshift newsroom, after claiming Sharif was a Hamas commander. The killings focused global attention on the extreme dangers faced by Palestinian journalists in Gaza and Israel’s efforts to manipulate media coverage of the war.

Britain’s Fabricated Migrant Crisis

The UK Labour Party is obsessively focusing on a tiny fraction of small boats carrying migrants arriving from France, which stands in stark contrast to its sluggish responses to other far more urgent crises. (Dan Kitwood / Getty Images)

Though small-boat crossings account for a tiny and shrinking share of UK immigration, the Labour Party has made them a central issue, all the while ignoring deeper crises like the slow erosion of the country’s National Health Service.

…

[B]ehind these political sound bites lies a profound human tragedy. These are desperate people fleeing war, persecution, and unimaginable hardship, seeking safety and dignity. Policies aimed solely at deterrence, and the toxic media narratives that sustain them, reduce human lives to nothing more than political bargaining chips. This relentless framing not only dehumanizes asylum seekers but also turns their suffering into political ammunition, eroding public sympathy.

Perhaps most disappointing of all is Labour’s obsessive focus on small boats, which stands in stark contrast to its sluggish, half-hearted responses to other far more urgent crises. The country’s National Health System’s waiting lists have hit record highs while Starmer has prioritized his anti-migrant campaign; over seven million people, 10 percent of the country’s total population, are stuck in long waits for vital treatment. Homelessness has surged by 20 percent in the past year alone, leaving thousands without shelter or hope. In this context, the government’s fixation on a relatively small migration issue is not just misguided — it’s a deliberate distraction from the nation’s real challenges.

Labour must break free from this cycle of fear-mongering. It’s time to lead with courage, compassion, and above all, truth. Only by rejecting division and embracing evidence-based, humane policies can the UK protect vulnerable lives and restore integrity to its immigration debate.

‘The protests are now unstoppable’

 A woman is led away by police officers as supporters of Palestine Action take part in a mass action in Parliament Square, Westminster, central London, August 9, 2025

Thousands expected to attend next protest against Palestine Action ban, organiser say

THOUSANDS of people are expected to attend the next protest against the banning of Palestine Action under terror laws.

Announced today and planned for September 6, organisers Defend Our Juries (DOJ) are hopeful that the demonstration could lead to the ban on the direct action group being lifted, with Yvette Cooper losing her job as home secretary.

At least 532 people — half aged over 60 — were arrested for holding signs in support of Palestine Action, after an estimated 1,000 took part last weekend. 

…

Today, a spokesman for DOJ said: “With all the real challenges facing the country, it is absurd that the Labour government has generated a political crisis over people quietly holding cardboard signs against genocide in Parliament Square. This won’t be forgiven or forgotten.

“In a desperate attempt to justify their position, Keir Starmer and Yvette Cooper have resorted to lying to the public about Palestine Action, claiming it to be a violent organisation, which they know to be false.

“The political ineptitude is staggering. The only beneficiaries of this policy — the brain-child of Lord Walney, a paid lobbyist — are the Israeli government and Elbit Systems, the main manufacturer of the weapons of genocide, with factories across Britain.

US flew spy flights for UK months before MoD admitted it

A US military contractor hired by Britain to conduct surveillance over Gaza operated above Nuseirat refugee camp the night before an Israeli bombing killed over 30 Palestinians in December 2024.

On the evening of 12 December 2024, Israel bombed the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza without warning. A post office sheltering displaced families was hit; nearby houses were shredded. 

More than 30 Palestinians were killed and over 50 wounded. Entire families died, their names posted online within minutes.

Declassified can now reveal that a spy plane owned by a US contractor to whom the RAF is outsourcing its spy flights circled over Nuseirat refugee camp the night before the bombing.

Publicly available flight-tracking data show that in the hours before the blast, and again afterwards, two surveillance aircraft operating from RAF Akrotiri, Britain’s military base on Cyprus, circled close to or over Gaza. 

One of these was a RAF Shadow R1 (registration ZZ419) surveillance plane that flew towards Gaza in mid-afternoon before vanishing from public tracking near the territory.

But the other belonged to Straight Flight Nevada Commercial Leasing LLC, a subsidiary of America’s Sierra Nevada Corporation. This was a Beechcraft Super King Air 350 with the registration N60125 and call sign CROOK11.

The presence of this US aircraft alongside RAF spy planes raises uncomfortable questions about whether British intelligence, directly or indirectly, assisted Israel’s targeting of the camp. 

Further, the presence of the US contractor over Gaza as early as December 2024 appears to contradict the Ministry of Defence’s (MoD) claim that the company was only hired to take over the missions in recent weeks due to strain on RAF’s Shadow R1 fleet.

The MoD insists the flights are “unarmed” and “solely related to hostage rescue”, and denies aiding Israel’s prosecution of the war. But there is no known mechanism to ensure that data shared with the Israeli authorities is not repurposed for attacks in serious violations of international humanitarian law.
