Ukraine's drone attack injures one, sets homes on fire in Voronezh, Russia says
Aug 3 (Reuters) - A woman sustained a leg injury from Ukraine's overnight drone attack on Voronezh that also resulted in several homes and utility buildings catching fire from falling drone debris, the governor of the southern Russian region said on Sunday. Air defence units destroyed about 15 Ukrainian drones over the region, the governor of Voronezh, Alexander Gusev, wrote on the Telegram messaging app. "The threat of further drone attacks remains," Gusev said in the post early on Sunday. Reuters could not independently verify Gusev's report. There was no immediate comment from Ukraine. Both sides deny targeting civilians in their strike in the war that Russia launched with a full-scale invasion on Ukraine in February 2022. Kyiv says that its attacks inside Russia are aimed at destroying infrastructure key to Moscow's war efforts and are in response to Russia's relentless strikes on Ukraine. The Russian defence ministry said that its units destroyed 41 drones just before midnight on Saturday over Russian regions bordering Ukraine and over the waters of the Black Sea.

Palestinian schools teach kids to glorify suicide bombers who kill Jews, reveals dossier as PM plans to recognise state
Click to share on X/Twitter (Opens in new window) Click to share on Facebook (Opens in new window) PALESTINIAN schools teach children to glorify suicide bombers who slaughter Jews, a shocking dossier reveals. Kids are taught to look up to terrorists in classroom textbooks and even learn to add up by calculating how many 'martyrs' have died. Sign up for Scottish Sun newsletter Sign up 2 Palestinian schools teach children to glorify suicide bombers who slaughter Jews, a shocking dossier reveals Credit: AFP 2 The PM has defended his decision to set the UK on a course to recognise Palestine Credit: Reuters The Palestinian Authority (PA) - which runs the West Bank - also spends hundreds of millions of pounds a year on a 'Martyrs Fund". This pays monthly salaries to the families of Palestinians who have died or are in jail for carrying out attacks on Israelis. A prisoner's pay increases the longer the jail term. The families of those serving 30 years or more can get up to 3,400 US dollars - the equivalent of £2,500. Read More on World News SUBS SNUB Russia dismisses Trump's warning of sending nuclear subs closer to country The shocking revelations are contained in a dossier shared exclusively with The Sun on Sunday. They will spark fresh criticisms of Sir Keir Starmer's decision to recognise an independent state of Palestine in September unless Israel signs up to a peace process. Michael Rubin, Director of Labour Friends of Israel, backed the creation of a Palestinian state - but said the PA must clean up its act before it can be founded. He said that under leader Mahmoud Abbas the PA is 'authoritarian, riddled with corruption, and commits shocking human rights abuses'. He added: 'The PA must clean up its act if we're going to recognise a Palestinian state. 'We need to tell it to abolish the morally repugnant payment of 'salaries' to terrorists, quit glorifying suicide bombers in schoolkids' books, and stop naming its schools after Nazi collaborators.' Hamas vows no peace unless key demand is met as thugs share sick clip of hostage The PA's South Hebron Directorate of Education posted a photo of a children's book about female suicide bomber Hanadi Jaradat. She killed 21 Israelis and injured over 50 more when she blew herself up at a restaurant in Haifa in 2003. In another shocking example, a grade 5 textbook Palestinian terrorist Dalal al-Mughrabi is celebrated for her heroism. She carried out the 1978 Coastal Road massacre which killed 38 Israelis, including 13 children. Earlier this year, Mr Abbas said he will end payments to the families of Palestinian 'martyrs'. The PM has defended his decision to set the UK on a course to recognise Palestine. Speaking earlier this week, he said: 'We do need to do everything we can to alleviate the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza, where we are seeing the children and babies starving for want of aid which could be delivered. 'That is why I've said unless things materially change on the ground, we'll have to assess this in September, we will recognise Palestine before the United Nations general assembly in September.'

Benjamin Netanyahu under increasing pressure to accept Gaza ceasefire amid famine
Intelligence analysis reveals Israel's aid blockade and constant air attacks on Gaza have backfired, leaving Benjamin Netanyahu nearer isolation from his ally, the US Israel's PM Benjamin Netanyahu is facing rising pressure to accept a ceasefire because of the famine horror in Gaza. Intelligence analysis reveals Israel 's aid blockade and constant air attacks have backfired leaving him nearer isolation from his ally, the US. The Soufan Centre, run by Middle East expert Ali Souffan, says he 'is coming under broad pressure to wind down Israel's military involvement in Gaza' as US President Donald Trump draws back from his support because of the famine. 'Trump has not urged him to end the war,' says the independent analysis organisation's report. 'But he has broken with him on the humanitarian situation.' The report adds that Mr Trump's aides 'appear to be pressing on with efforts to forge another temporary ceasefire'. It came as a United Nations Food Security panel claimed 'the worst-case scenario of famine is playing out in the Strip'. Meanwhile there was more anguish in Gaza yesterday as hospitals reported the killing of at least 18 people by Israeli fire, eight of them food-seekers. Close to a Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) distribution site, Yahia Youssef, looking for aid, described how he helped carry out three people with gunshot wounds. He said he saw many others lying on the ground bleeding. 'It's the same daily episode,' Mr Youssef said. The GHF media office said 'nothing [happened] at or near our sites'. It came a day after US officials visited one site and the US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee called the GHF's distribution 'an incredible feat'. International outrage has mounted as the group's efforts to deliver aid to hunger-stricken Gaza have been marred by violence and controversy.
