While eyes turn to Iran, Israel commits massacre in Gaza killing 92 aid seekers in a day
Gaza health authorities report that 64 were killed in Gaza City and northern Gaza alone, with dozens more wounded or missing. The toll includes children, women, and the elderly.
Disturbing footage has emerged from Al-Shatee camp showing an aid seeker burning alive, and another child lying in a pool of blood. In Nuseirat, Israeli fire on crowds gathered for food aid killed 90 and injured at least 60, according to Gaza's civil defense.
ارتكبت قوات الاحتلال الإسرائيلي مجزرة جديدة في محيط مسجد العمري بمدينة جباليا البلد، أسفرت عن استشهاد أكثر من 11 مواطنًا وإصابة العشرات.

This marks the third aid massacre this week and adds to over 100 Palestinians killed while attempting to access food since Monday.
Al Jazeera's reporter, Anas Al-Shareef, confirmed that more than 55 civilians, including families and the elderly, were killed just this morning by Israeli fire on tent camps and gathering points in Gaza City.
He also documented a massacre near Al-Omari Mosque in Jabalia al-Balad, where 11 civilians were killed and dozens wounded. Jabalia has faced relentless shelling for days, with civilian homes systematically bombed.
Despite this, Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu continues to present Israel as the victim following Iran's retaliatory missile strikes, claiming Iranian targeting of the Soroka military hospital was a war crime, while ignoring Israel's own documented attacks on dozens of hospitals in Gaza and even strikes on Farabi Hospital and the Iranian Red Crescent.

Activists blockade Edinburgh factory supplying 'Israel' with F-35 parts
Two people were arrested on Monday after pro-Palestine campaigners staged a blockade at the Edinburgh factory of defense firm Leonardo. The Italian company, located on Crewe Road, supplies military technology to 'Israel', including components for F-35 fighter jets that have been used in airstrikes on Gaza. Around 6 AM, members of the group Shut Down Leonardo Edinburgh arrived at the site, parking a van as part of their demonstration. One activist appeared to be locked inside the vehicle, while another said they were 'locked' to the top of the van. View this post on Instagram A post shared by Shut Down Leonardo Edinburgh (@shutdownleonardo) The factory was also targeted with glass jars filled with red and green paint, which campaigners used in an attempt to obstruct access and halt production. A 35-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man were arrested by police at the scene. In a video shared online, one of the activists explained their motives, 'I'm taking direct action today at Leonardo's weapons manufacturer in Edinburgh where we're looking to halt the production of the F-35 component parts that are made here and used to indiscriminately massacre civilians in Gaza. I'm locked on to the top of the van. We're looking to shut down the factory for as long as possible.' The protest follows a similar action on July 15, when demonstrators drove a van into the security fence of the same facility. Images from that event showed the vehicle protruding through the fence, with a Palestinian flag draped over the rear. Three women were later charged under the Terrorism Act. A Police Scotland spokesperson said, 'Around 6:15 AM on Monday, 18 August, 2025, we were called to a report of a protest outside a business premises in the Crewe Road North area of Edinburgh. Officers are in attendance and a 35-year-old woman and a 40-year-old man have been arrested in connection. Enquiries are ongoing.'

Netanyahu slams Macron for fuelling 'antisemitic fire' — letter
JERUSALEM — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu upbraided President Emmanuel Macron in a letter seen by AFP Tuesday, blaming the French leader's move to recognise a Palestinian state for fuelling anti-semitism. Late last month, Macron said France would formally recognise a Palestinian state during a UN meeting in September, drawing a swift rebuke from Israel. By announcing the move, France was set to join a growing list of nations to recognise statehood for the Palestinians since Israel launched a bombardment of Gaza nearly two years ago in response to Hamas's shock attack. In the letter sent to Macron, Netanyahu said antisemitism had "surged" in France following the announcement. "Your call for a Palestinian state pours fuel on this antisemitic fire. It is not diplomacy, it is appeasement. It rewards Hamas terror, hardens Hamas's refusal to free the hostages, emboldens those who menace French Jews and encourages the Jew-hatred now stalking your streets," Netanyahu wrote in the letter. The Israeli premier went on to call on Macron to confront antisemitism in France, saying he must "replace weakness with action, appeasement with resolve, and to do so by a clear date: the Jewish New Year, September 23".
