Ammon2 days ago
Ammon News - Six Palestinians were killed and several others injured on Sunday following a series of Israeli airstrikes and shelling targeting Gaza City and the northern Gaza Strip.
According to medical sources, six civilians were confirmed killed in various air raids launched since dawn across Gaza City and the North Gaza district. Among the victims were three people who were killed when Israeli drones dropped bombs near the Sheikh Radwan pool area, located in the northern part of Gaza City.
In addition to the airstrikes, Israeli forces blew up several residential homes in the Al-Shuja'iya neighborhood in eastern Gaza City.
Meanwhile, Israeli artillery shelled eastern neighborhoods of Gaza City, coinciding with gunfire from Israeli naval vessels targeting Palestinian fishermen off the coast of Al-Qarara, west of Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 58,765 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 140,485 others injured.
Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.

Palestine Action co-founder challenges UK ban under anti-terror laws

The co-founder of a pro-Palestinian campaign group appeared in court on Monday to challenge the British government's decision to ban the group under anti-terrorism legislation, a move her legal team described as having 'the hallmarks of an authoritarian and blatant abuse of power.' Huda Ammori, who co-founded Palestine Action in 2020, is seeking permission from London's High Court to proceed with a full legal challenge against the group's proscription. The UK government banned the group on the grounds that it had committed or taken part in acts of terrorism. Earlier this month, the High Court rejected Ammori's request to suspend the ban. Following a failed last-minute appeal, the proscription officially came into effect just after midnight on July 5. Under the law, being a member of a proscribed group is a criminal offense, carrying a maximum sentence of 14 years in prison. Ammori's lawyer, Raza Husain, argued that Palestine Action is the first direct action group to be banned as a terrorist organization, calling the move incompatible with 'the honourable history of civil disobedience on conscientious grounds in our country.' Since the ban, dozens of individuals have been arrested for carrying placards believed to show support for Palestine Action. Ammori's legal team also claims that police scrutiny has intensified toward protesters expressing support for the Palestinian cause. Britain's interior minister, Yvette Cooper, defended the decision, stating that violence and criminal damage have no place in lawful protest. She cited the group's actions, including breaking into a military base and damaging two aircraft, as justification for the proscription. Palestine Action has increasingly focused its efforts on companies in the UK with links to Israel, frequently engaging in activities such as spraying red paint, obstructing entrances, and damaging property. The group accuses the British government of enabling what it describes as Israeli war crimes in Gaza, amid the ongoing bombardment of the territory.

Belgium authorities arrest two 'Israeli' soldiers after war crimes complaint

Belgian federal police have detained two 'Israeli' soldiers accused of committing war crimes in Gaza, following a legal complaint filed by two international rights organizations. According to a statement released Monday by the Hind Rajab Foundation (HRF), the soldiers were in Belgium to attend the Tomorrowland music festival in Boom when they were identified and arrested. "The suspects were identified and arrested with a clear show of force at the Tomorrowland festival in Boom," HRF stated. "After being taken into custody, they were formally interrogated and released. The Belgian Federal Prosecutor's Office has confirmed that a criminal investigation is now underway." The HRF's action was prompted by the alleged presence of young 'Israeli' soldiers at Tomorrowland waving the flag of the 'Israeli' Givati Brigade, a unit the HRF says is "extensively documented for its role in the systematic destruction of civilian infrastructure in Gaza and for carrying out mass atrocities against the Palestinian population". The foundation asserts that the Givati flag has become a "symbol of impunity, destruction, and ethnic cleansing". The individuals are accused of direct involvement in crimes such as indiscriminate attacks on civilian areas, use of torture and human shields, mass arbitrary detention, forced displacement, and deliberate infliction of conditions calculated to destroy the Palestinian population. The complaint, filed last week by HRF and the Global Legal Action Network (GLAN), accuses the soldiers of involvement in war crimes committed during 'Israel's' military operations in Gaza. In a joint statement, the two organizations welcomed the move, calling it "a significant step forward." They added, "It signals that Belgium has recognised its jurisdiction under international law and is treating the allegations with the seriousness they deserve. "At a time when far too many governments remain silent, this action sends a clear message: credible evidence of international crimes must be met with legal response – not political indifference."
