War rooms. weapons and secrets: What Israel's military found beneath a hospital in Gaza's Khan Yunis
Israeli Defence Forces have claimed they uncovered a Hamas tunnel beneath the European Hospital in Khan Yunis, Gaza. In a detailed statement released on Saturday, the military said the tunnel system was extensive and included 'numerous findings such as command and control rooms, weapons, and additional intelligence materials.' The footage—captured during a special operation by the IDF's 36th Division and shared on the social media platform X—shows an underground complex with multiple rooms. The operation involved soldiers from the Golani Brigade, the elite Yahalom Unit, special forces and was guided by the Intelligence Directorate. According to the IDF, 'Hamas continues to exploit hospitals in Gaza for terrorist purposes, cynically exploiting and endangering civilians.' by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like War Thunder - Register now for free and play against over 75 Million real Players War Thunder Play Now Undo — IDF (@IDF) The IDF believes the tunnel was used by Hamas operatives to plan and coordinate attacks on Israeli forces. It comes after similar claims made in 2023 when Israeli troops said they uncovered a Hamas tunnel beneath Al Shifa Hospital, Gaza's largest medical facility. That hospital is now nearly destroyed after sustained Israeli bombardment. Both Hamas and hospital staff have previously denied using medical facilities for militant operations. Live Events Visual proof released as part of wider military campaign The video shared by the IDF gives a rare look into what it says is Hamas's underground infrastructure. It appears to show reinforced bunkers, stored weapons, and evidence of military planning. The Israeli military has consistently maintained that Hamas uses civilian infrastructure—including schools and hospitals—as shields for militant activity. However, these claims remain deeply contested on the ground, with medical personnel denying any such collaboration. Still, Israel has continued to press its campaign in southern Gaza. This latest discovery reinforces what the IDF says is a pattern of Hamas using sensitive sites to mask its operations. Senior Mujahideen leaders killed in joint operation Alongside the tunnel discovery, the IDF also announced it had killed two senior members of the Mujahideen organisation in Gaza in a joint operation with the Israeli Security Agency (ISA). 'As'ad Abu Sharaiya, head of the Mujahideen terrorist organisation in Gaza, and an additional Mujahideen terrorist Mahmoud Muhammad Hamid Kuhail, were eliminated earlier today in a joint IDF & ISA operation,' said the IDF. Both men were allegedly involved in the 7 October 2023 assault on Kibbutz Nir Oz. The IDF stated that Abu Sharaiya was 'one of the leaders of the massacre and was directly involved in the abduction & murder of Shiri, Ariel and Kfir Bibas, Nattapong Pinta and an additional foreign national who is still held captive by the terrorist organisation and in the abduction of the couple Gad and Judi Haggai.' The Israeli military further claimed that Abu Sharaiya was 'responsible for recruiting terrorist operatives in Judea and Samaria & in Israel, advancing and carrying out terror attacks against Israel and IDF troops.' War continues with mounting death toll The conflict erupted on 7 October 2023 when Hamas fighters stormed into southern Israel, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and taking 251 hostages. Some were later freed in exchanges during brief ceasefires. Eight were rescued by Israeli forces, and dozens more were found dead. In response, Israel launched a broad military offensive across the Gaza Strip. According to the Gaza Health Ministry , over 54,000 Palestinians have been killed, including large numbers of women and children. The war has displaced nearly 90% of the territory's two million residents. While short ceasefires allowed for limited exchanges of hostages and prisoners, these pauses were fleeting. Fighting resumed quickly after each truce. Since 18 March, when Israel resumed its offensive after a temporary ceasefire, Gaza officials say at least 4,402 more people have died. The Israeli military's repeated claims about Hamas's use of medical sites continue to fuel international debate. These latest revelations from Khan Yunis may intensify calls for scrutiny, but they also highlight the war's deepening complexity. While Israel cites security concerns, the cost to civilians remains devastating. With no durable truce in place and both sides accusing the other of war crimes, the humanitarian toll grows. Inside Gaza, daily life has all but collapsed. Electricity and medical aid remain scarce. The displaced continue to live in overcrowded shelters—or worse, without any shelter at all. This war, now in its ninth month, shows no clear sign of winding down.

Sean Diddy Combs files second request for mistrial in ongoing sex trafficking case
Sean 'Diddy' Combs' legal team has filed a second request for a mistrial in his ongoing sex trafficking case, citing what they allege is 'prosecutorial misconduct.' The new motion, submitted in a June 7 letter to Judge Arun Subramanian, accuses the government of presenting a 'knowingly false testimony' that could unfairly sway the jury. At the centre of the defence's claim was an allegation involving a 2016 incident in which Combs was accused of dangling Bryana Bongolan from the 17th floor balcony of Cassie Ventura 's apartment. According to the letter, the prosecution relied on Ventura's testimony, in which she claimed to have witnessed the alleged event firsthand. However, Combs' attorneys argue that text message records indicate Ventura only learned of the incident after it occurred, rendering her testimony 'demonstrably false.' 'The incident, as alleged, is disturbing and powerful evidence,' the defence wrote, 'and the government has used it to depict Mr Combs in an extremely negative light, as an angry and dangerous man who terrified Ms Ventura and her friends," People reported. Combs' team further contends that the prosecution introduced photos of Bongolan's alleged injuries — supposedly taken on September 26, 2016, in Los Angeles — despite evidence placing Combs in New York City between September 24 and 29 of that year. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Trading CFD dengan Teknologi dan Kecepatan Lebih Baik IC Markets Mendaftar Undo The letter also claims that the prosecutors 'knew or should have known that this testimony was perjured,' and that they disrupted defence efforts to challenge the testimony during cross-examination, thereby intensifying the alleged misconduct. 'This is just one example of prosecutorial misconduct during this trial,' the defence team wrote, adding that the cumulative effect of such actions warrants a mistrial. This is the second time in two weeks that Combs' attorneys have filed for a mistrial. The first, filed in late May, focused on the alleged destruction of fingerprint evidence in connection to the 2012 bombing of Kid Cudi's car — an incident the prosecution attributes to Combs. The defence argued that the knowledge of destroyed evidence was prejudicial to the jury. That request was denied, with Judge Subramanian ruling that the prosecution's line of questioning was not unduly damaging. As of now, the judge has not yet ruled on the latest motion.

'If Newsom can't act, federal govt will': Trump, Vance, Leavitt slam LA governor; ICE arrests spark unrest in city
JD Vance, Gavin Newsom (C) and Donald Trump (R) Federal immigration raids in Los Angeles sparked a second day of unrest Saturday, prompting a wave of sharp political reactions as clashes between protestors and law enforcement escalated in the suburb of Paramount. Federal agents deployed flash-bang grenades, shut down sections of a freeway, and arrested over 100 individuals, as demonstrators rallied near a Home Depot staging area used by immigration officials. US President Donald Trump authorised the deployment of 2,000 national guard troops to the area, slamming California governor Gavin Newsom and Los Angeles mayor Karen Bass for what he called a failure to control 'riots and looters.' "If Governor Gavin Newscum... and Mayor Karen Bass... can't do their jobs... then the Federal Government will step in and solve the problem... the way it should be solved!!!" Trump posted on Truth Social, using a derogatory nickname for the governor. White House press secretary Karoline Leavitt echoed the president's stance, accusing Newsom and Democrats of allowing 'lawlessness to fester.' She claimed violent mobs had committed arson, attacked vehicles, and targeted federal agents. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like 오스템 임플란트 받아가세요 임플란터 더 알아보기 Undo She directly blamed California governor Gavin Newsom for failing to maintain control: 'Illegal criminal aliens and violent mobs have been committing arson, throwing rocks at vehicles, and attacking federal law enforcement for days. Gavin Newsom has done nothing to stop this violence.' Vice president JD Vance also weighed in, using the moment to renew calls for stricter border legislation. 'Time to pass President Trump's beautiful bill and further secure the border,' he posted on X, denouncing protestors as 'insurrectionists carrying foreign flags.' He warned that those obstructing justice would be 'aggressively prosecuted.' Governor Gavin Newsom condemned the federal intervention as 'purposefully inflammatory,' accusing the Trump administration of using the National Guard for political theater. 'Don't give them one. Never use violence. Speak out peacefully,' he urged protestors in a social media post. Meanwhile, FBI director Kash Patel issued a blunt warning against any violence toward law enforcement. 'Hit a cop, you're going to jail… doesn't matter where you came from, how you got here, or what movement speaks to you,' he said, promising federal backing if local police failed to act. ICE reported 118 arrests as part of its ongoing operations, including detentions at a downtown warehouse suspected of employing workers with falsified documents. Activists accused ICE of using excessive force and spreading fear in immigrant communities. As tensions remain high in the city, the political divide over immigration enforcement and protest responses continues to deepen.
