Israel Reduces Occupation Forces in Gaza Amid Escalating Attacks with Iran
Rabat – Israel has reportedly reduced its occupation forces in Gaza, shifting its focus toward what it now considers its primary 'warfront' against Iran. Israeli occupation officials told local media that this decision aims to strengthen border defenses against infiltration attempts by Iran's proxies in Lebanon, Jordan, and Syria.
Although Israeli reports claim no evidence of Hezbollah preparing to join Iran's attacks, they identify groups in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen as significant threats.
Despite the reduction of occupation forces, the genocide in Gaza relentlessly continues , even as media attention shifts toward the exchange of attacks between Iran and Israel – mostly emphasizing the 24 casualties in Israel and glossing over 200 killed civilians in Iran.
While Israel's humanitarian blockade on Gaza has entered its 106th day, killing Palestinians at the US-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution points has become a daily occurrence since the foundation's launch.
Of the 48 Palestinians Israel killed so far today, 33 were murdered while waiting for aid trucks near GHF sites. Since GHF began operations in Gaza on May 27, Israel has killed more than 330 starving Palestinians attempting to access food distribution centers that have largely delivered death rather than aid.
'GHF is a dirty tool in the hands of the occupation army. It serves as a cover for organized genocide,' stated the Gaza Media Office.
At the opening of the latest United Nations Human Rights Council session, UN human rights chief Volker Türk renewed his warnings about Israel's unbated actions in Gaza. He condemned Israel's 'means and methods of warfare' as having inflicted 'horrifying, unconscionable suffering' on Palestinians.
'Israel has weaponized food and blocked lifesaving aid. I urge immediate, impartial investigations into deadly attacks on desperate civilians trying to reach food distribution centres,' Türk said, calling on all those in power to apply pressure to end 'what's happening in Gaza' — notably avoiding the use of the word 'genocide' in his entire speech.
Beyond its occupation forces, Israel is also arming militias inside Gaza who have been looting aid supplies and reselling them to Palestinians at extortionate prices, intensifying their psychological torment. These groups — purportedly composed of Palestinians against Hamas — have been executing civilians at aid sites under Israeli protection.

Israeli Strike Hits Iranian State TV During Live Broadcast
Rabat – An Israeli strike hit Iran's broadcasting headquarters on Monday, cutting short a live television program as the presenter was condemning Israel on air. The anchor left the set in haste seconds before the channel went dark. A short time later, the station resumed transmission. Hassan Abedini, a senior official at the Islamic Republic of Iran Broadcasting (IRIB), confirmed the strike and described it as a direct attack on Iran's media voice. 'The Zionist regime, enemy of the Iranian nation, just carried out a military operation against the Islamic Republic's information network,' he said. 'But the regime fails to grasp that the voice of the Islamic revolution cannot be silenced by force.' The attack came just hours after the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) told residents in northeast Tehran to evacuate, citing planned strikes on what it vaguely labeled as 'military infrastructure.' IOF spokesperson Avichay Adraee issued the warning in Persian on Telegram, singling out Tehran's third district as a target, while urging civilians to flee under the threat of yet another unlawful assault. That part of the city includes not only IRIB's headquarters but also embassies from Qatar, Oman, and Kuwait, a major police compound, hospitals, the local UN migration office, and the AFP bureau. Israeli Defense Minister Israel Katz had earlier stated that IRIB was 'on the verge of disappearing,' echoing the message of a military operation against what Israel views as a central tool of Iranian influence. 'The mouthpiece of Iranian propaganda and incitement is about to disappear. Evacuations have begun,' his statement read. Everything began on Thursday, June 12, when Israel launched its strike on Iran with Operation 'Rising Lion', including strikes against residential buildings in and near Tehran, killing many military officials. In response, Iran launched drone and missile attacks targeting Israel. Since the escalation, Israel has pulled back some of its occupation forces from Gaza, redirecting attention to what it now brands the main 'warfront' against Iran. The decision, framed as a move to reinforce borders, follows unproven claims about threats from Iran-backed groups in neighboring countries. Though Israeli sources admit Hezbollah shows no signs of entering the conflict, they point to militias in Iraq, Syria, and Yemen, further fueling regional tension. On the ground in Gaza, the genocide continues . The 106-day blockade has completely crippled life, leaving Palestinians in dooms-day conditions, and Israeli forces routinely open fire at Palestinians gathered near US-Israel-backed aid distribution points.

Trump Blocked Israeli Plot to Kill Iran's Supreme Leader
US President Donald Trump reportedly stepped in to stop Israel from assassinating Iran's Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, according to two US officials who spoke to Reuters . 'Have the Iranians killed an American yet? No,' one senior administration official said. 'Until they do, we're not even talking about going after the political leadership.' The report comes as Israeli strikes continue to pound Iran. According to the Associated Press, citing Washington-based Human Rights Activists, the Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) have killed at least 406 people and wounded 654 others. Yet Trump insists the region is on the verge of peace. 'Iran and Israel should make a deal, and will make a deal,' he wrote on Truth Social. 'We will have PEACE, soon, between Israel and Iran! Many calls and meetings now taking place.' He didn't provide details, but told ABC News that the violence could actually speed things up. 'Something like this had to happen because I think even from both sides, but something like this had to happen,' he said. 'They want to talk, and they will be talking. May have forced a deal to go quicker, actually.' He even suggested that the Russian President Vladimir Putin could step in to mediate. 'He is ready. He called me about it,' Trump said. 'We had a long talk about it. We talked about this more than his situation. This is something I believe is going to get resolved.' Asked how the White House was trying to calm things down, officials declined to comment. Meanwhile, Israel is pushing back against the report. National Security Adviser Tzachi Hanegbi told Channel 12's Keren Marciano: 'Fake news from the land of fake news. We did not request it, and we are not requesting it. The Americans make decisions based on their own interests.' Still, Hanegbi left the door open. 'There is no immunity for political leaders. The initial decision was not to target the political leadership. At present, that is not the decision, but everything can change within 60 seconds.' Trump, ever the self-promoter, wrapped things up on social media with a final swipe at his critics: 'I do a lot, and never get credit for anything, but that's OK, the PEOPLE understand. MAKE THE MIDDLE EAST GREAT AGAIN!' Tags: Ayatollah Ali KhameneiIranIsraelTrump
