The Israeli military is preparing for the potential resumption of large-scale combat in the Gaza Strip, amid ceasefires on the Iranian and Lebanese fronts and assessments indicating that Hamas has exploited the situation to rebuild its military capabilities.

Israeli military sources told Haaretz that the so-called commander of the Southern Command claimed no international body has been able to disarm Hamas. Israel will not limit its operations to the yellow-line areas of Gaza.

The army believes that if fighting resumes, it will need to enter areas it has previously avoided.

A new video released on Tuesday by the Israeli Information Centre for Human Rights B’Tselem shows an Israeli soldier shooting a Palestinian baby, aged seven months, while he was in his mother’s arms in Hebron, southern West Bank, four days ago.

B’Tselem said it obtained footage showing the shooting of the Abu Hikal family, which killed baby Sam Abu Hikal and injured his parents.

The video clearly shows that the Israeli soldier fired at the car as it was slowing down to stop, while still at a distance from the soldiers and posing no threat.

It also shows the father holding the child and trying to stop the bleeding from his head, while the mother, who was also hit while carrying her son, sits on the road next to the family car.

B’Tselem added that the incident happened on Friday, 5th June, as the Palestinian family was returning from a family visit in the Tel Rumeida neighbourhood of Hebron.

The shooting occurred after the father, driving the car, saw soldiers on the road and slowed down.

Iran’s Revolutionary Guard said on Wednesday it had expanded its response to US strikes on sites in southern Iran, claiming it had targeted the US Fifth Fleet in Bahrain with drones, Jordan’s Azraq Air Base with long-range missiles, and Ali Al Salem Air Base in Kuwait.

Iranian state media quoted the Revolutionary Guard as saying the operation was carried out in response to what it described as “US aggression”, warning that Tehran would respond “more forcefully” if American attacks continued.

The Revolutionary Guard said the US strikes caused damage to a communications tower and two water tanks in the southern Iranian coastal city of Sirik, according to Reuters.

Separately, Iranian media quoted Iran’s unified armed forces command as saying that several US bases in the region had been targeted in response to the attacks in southern Iran.

Iranian media also reported that the Revolutionary Guard had struck four locations at Jordan’s Azraq Air Base with long-range missiles, claiming the targets included shelters housing F-35 fighter jets and a command-and-control centre.

US lawmakers press CENTCOM chief on deadly Iran school strike

The top Democrat on the House Armed Services Committee pressed the CENTCOM chief on Tuesday for answers about a strike that killed more than 150 girls at an Iranian school on Feb. 28, Anadolu reports.

During a US House committee hearing on US posture in the “Greater Middle East and Africa” Rep. Adam Smith urged Adm. Brad Cooper to acknowledge US responsibility for the strike on the school, which Iranian officials say killed 175 people, including more than 150 schoolgirls.

“It’s really pretty clear what happened there,” Smith said, noting that in previous incidents the US military has moved quickly to acknowledge mistakes even while investigations were still ongoing.

“Can you, at this moment, acknowledge that that mistake was made, and that we were responsible for it? It’s something we didn’t want to do, and don’t want to repeat?” Smith asked.

Cooper declined to take responsibility, saying only: “The United States does not deliberately target civilians.”

“Nor are the Iranian people our enemy. The IRGC is the adversary in this case,” he added.

“Admiral, I asked you a very specific question, and I’m curious what the answer is,” Smith said.

“The investigation is ongoing,” Cooper replied.

Cooper said the school is located near an active IRGC (Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps) cruise missile base, making the incident “more complex than the average strike,” and pledged transparency once the investigation concludes.

Smith responded: “I do not trust that answer. What we’ve seen out of this Secretary of Defense (Pete Hegseth) and his callous disregard for any sort of rules of engagement or protecting civilian life may make us suspicious.”

He added that the administration’s refusal to acknowledge potential errors is “precisely the reason we are in the hole that we’re in with no way out.”

The Feb. 28 strike on Shajareh Tayyebeh Elementary School in Minab killed approximately 175 people, according to Iranian officials.

Several US media outlets have reported, citing preliminary US assessments, that the school may have been struck by an American Tomahawk missile.​​​​​​​

Preliminary findings

Rep. Sara Jacobs, another Democrat, also pressed the CENTCOM chief on the school strike, telling Cooper that she, in a letter signed by more than half the Democratic caucus members, requested more information about the Minab attack and demanded that the ongoing investigation be made public.

Asked if he could confirm whether the New York Times report, which said the preliminary inquiry concluded that the strike is the US’ fault, Cooper did not deny or confirm.

“I immediately directed a more sophisticated, comprehensive investigation that would be led by an outside organization,” said Cooper. “That is in progress. We’re coming toward the end of it.”

Cooper separately said his staff reviewed all 39 incidents outlined in a separate New York Times report on schools struck during the war, and determined only one, the Minab girls’ school, correlated with a US strike; the other 38 “did not involve US munitions.”

Democratic Rep. Seth Moulton noted President Donald Trump’s remarks demanding “unconditional surrender” from Tehran. “Is that part of the plan?” he asked.

“Congressman, we achieved all of our military objectives,” Cooper responded. “We are presently in a ceasefire, we’re executing a blockade, and we’re prepared for a broad range of contingencies.”

Moulton then asked, “It doesn’t seem to be going well, and I would like to know how many more Americans we have to ask to die for this mistake. Do you know?”

“I think it’s an entirely inappropriate statement from you, sir,” Cooper responded.

When pressed by other lawmakers on whether the war with Iran is over, Cooper responded by saying, “We have a ceasefire.”

Lawmakers also challenged Cooper on reports that Iran has already reconstituted many of its bombed-out missile sites. Cooper rejected the claims. “Those reports are inaccurate,” he said.

The hearing comes as regional tensions have escalated since the US and Israel launched strikes against Iran in late February. Tehran retaliated with strikes targeting Israel, as well as US allies in the Gulf, including the United Arab Emirates, along with the closure of the Strait of Hormuz.

A ceasefire took effect April 8 through Pakistani mediation, but talks in Islamabad failed to produce a lasting agreement. US President Donald Trump later extended the truce indefinitely.

Keir Starmer objects to criticism of the IDF.

He calls for people to stop obstructing his genocide for Israel.

‘We Refuse to Be Silenced’: Gaza Doctors Documentary Censored by BBC Wins Prestigious Award

“Just a question to the BBC,” said the documentary’s executive producer. “Given you dropped our film, will you drop us from the BAFTAs screening later tonight?”

The makers of a documentary about Israeli attacks on healthcare workers and infrastructure in Gaza won a prestigious BAFTA award on Sunday—and they used their acceptance speech to lash out at BBC for refusing to air their work.

The film, “Gaza: Doctors Under Attack,” was originally scheduled to be aired by the BBC in early 2025 before the network announced in June that it would not be releasing the documentary because it had “come to the conclusion that broadcasting this material risked creating a perception of partiality.”

Shortly after, the documentary was picked up by the UK-based Channel 4 and aired in July.

UK journalist Ramita Navai, the main reporter of the documentary, criticized the BBC for declining to show the film, which she denounced as a political decision.

“Israel has killed over 47,000 children and women in Gaza so far,” Navai said. “Israel has… targeted every single one of Gaza’s hospitals. It’s killed over 1,700 Palestinian doctors and healthcare workers. It has imprisoned over 400 in what the UN now calls a ‘medicide.’ These are the findings of our investigation that the BBC paid for but refuses to show. But we refuse to be silenced and censored.”

Ben de Pear, the film’s executive producer, also pointed the finger at the BBC as he accepted the BAFTA award for best current affairs television program.

“Just a question to the BBC,” said de Pear, according to The Hollywood Reporter. “Given you dropped our film, will you drop us from the BAFTAs screening later tonight?”

As reported by Al Jazeera, de Pear after accepting the award also praised Palestinian journalists Jaber Badwan and Osana Al Ashi, who contributed on-the-ground footage for the documentary at the risk of their own lives.

“[We] woke up every day wondering if the two journalists on the ground were still alive,” de Pear told reporters backstage.
