United Nations slams US- and Israel-backed Gaza aid group as a ‘failure'
The United Nations says the Israeli- and United States-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) is a 'failure' from a humanitarian perspective. Jens Laerke, spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), said aid operations have stalled because the GHF is not delivering supplies safely to those in need. 'GHF, I think it's fair to say, has been, from a principled humanitarian standpoint, a failure,' Laerke told reporters in Geneva on Friday. 'They are not doing what a humanitarian operation should do, which is providing aid to people where they are, in a safe and secure manner.' The UN and major aid groups have refused to cooperate with the GHF, citing concerns that it prioritises Israeli military objectives over humanitarian needs. The newly formed private organisation began operations on May 26 after Israel had completely cut off supplies into Gaza for more than two months, sparking warnings of mass famine. It says it has distributed more than 18 million meals since then. On Friday, more than 30 Palestinians were killed in Israeli attacks, medical sources told Al Jazeera. Al Jazeera's Tariq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, said Israeli forces were targeting parts of Khan Younis in southern Gaza with artillery fire and ground attacks. 'The Israeli military is deepening its ground operations,' Azzoum said, saying there were clashes in the eastern part of the city. The besieged territory remained under a communications blackout for a second day on Friday. Hamas has denounced what it described as an Israeli decision to cut communication lines in Gaza, calling it 'a new aggressive step' in the country's 'war of extermination'. Israel continues to force civilians into what it calls the 'safe zone' of al-Mawasi, a barren coastal strip with no infrastructure, which it has repeatedly bombed. A drone strike on a tent there killed at least two people on Friday. The attack left 'everyone on the ground quite confused about where they can go in order to find safety', Azzoum said. In the occupied West Bank, Israel sealed all crossings and checkpoints between Palestinian towns and cities early on Friday, shortly after it launched a wave of air strikes on targets in Iran. Sources told Al Jazeera the closures were imposed without any indication of when they might be lifted. The Palestine Red Crescent Society said its ambulances were being denied access to patients, including those in urgent need of medical care. In occupied East Jerusalem, Israeli forces closed Al-Aqsa Mosque, preventing Palestinians from attending Friday prayers. Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammad Mustafa held an emergency cabinet meeting in response and activated crisis committees across the West Bank.

Shock, fear in Tehran after Israel bombs residential, military areas
Tehran, Iran – Roya, a 62-year-old resident of Iran's capital, was jolted awake just after 3am on Friday morning by the sound of explosions in her Marzdaran neighbourhood in western Tehran. 'It was absolutely terrifying, my heart was beating out of my chest,' she recalled. 'I saw smoke on the horizon and at first thought all the strikes were farther away, but when the images came out, I found that a home just a few streets from us was hit too,' she told Al Jazeera. Across Tehran, residents on Friday were grappling with the shock of the first air strikes on heavily populated residential areas across the city since the eight-year Iran-Iraq War of the 1980s. The building close to Roya's house – she requested that only her first name be used – was among many residential units targeted by Israeli warplanes during at least five rounds of air strikes that lasted several hours. At least six nuclear scientists and physicists, including a former head of the Atomic Energy Organization of Iran, were assassinated in the attacks. Several of the country's top military commanders were killed as well, including the armed forces chief-of-staff Mohammad Bagheri, Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) commander-in-chief Hossein Salami, and IRGC aerospace force chief Ali Akbar Hajizadeh. Ali Shamkhani, a former security chief and a top adviser to Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, also died after his home in northern Tehran was bombed. Some family members of the officials and scientists were killed alongside them. Khamenei and other top officials have promised to take revenge and blamed Israel and the United States for significantly escalating tensions and risking all-out war. Iran's diplomats and nuclear chief Mohammad Eslami also blasted the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) and its much-criticised chief Rafael Grossi, for refusing to forcefully condemn repeated Israeli and US threats of air strikes, or the overnight attacks on Friday. They said the global nuclear watchdog, which passed its strongest censure resolution against Iran in nearly two decades on Thursday, has become a 'tool' for pressure by Israel and its Western allies. Grossi on Friday said the IAEA was opposed to any attacks on nuclear facilities. Iran's main nuclear facilities at Isfahan's Natanz were also extensively bombed by Israeli warplanes, with deputy nuclear chief Behrouz Kamalvandi telling state television that the aim was to penetrate the uranium enrichment sites buried deep underground. The extent of the damage to Natanz remains unclear, but Tehran said there was no indication of pollution caused by nuclear materials in the area. The Israeli army also attacked a number of military sites and civilian infrastructure like power plants, in several provinces across the country. Almost immediately after the strikes, people formed long queues at nearly all petrol stations across Iran, fearing shortages. Iranian officials said there was no disruption to fuel supplies and the country's oil facilities were not damaged. The Information and Communications Technology Ministry announced 'temporary internet restrictions' were imposed in the aftermath of the devastating attacks. The Ministry of Culture said all art events and music concerts were cancelled until further notice as a result of the 'criminal and terrorist' strikes. Some Tehran residents even left the city temporarily since Israel has signalled it wants to launch even more so-called 'preemptive' attacks on Iranian soil in a self-proclaimed bid to 'defend' itself. With residential areas heavily bombed and some buildings catching fire, authorities said a number of civilians, including children, were among those brutally killed. 'She was no military personnel, nuclear figure, or an official. She was just a girl who loved cycling and nature. She was my friend, her name was Najmeh,' tweeted journalist Fatemeh Kalantari, with a photo of her friend who was killed by Israel. State-backed demonstrations sprang up in Tehran and across the country to condemn the deadly strikes. The attacks came on the eve of Eid al-Ghadir, a significant religious event for Shia Muslims, during which Iranian authorities organise large-scale celebrations in Tehran and other major cities. Authorities said the events planned for Friday would be shortened, and some will be turned into protests against the latest killings by Israel, which has also massacred at least 55,000 Palestinians in the Gaza Strip and thousands of others across the region since October 7, 2023. On Friday, US President Donald Trump acknowledged that he was aware the strikes were taking place, but said Washington provided no military backing. He urged Tehran to come back to the negotiating table and make concessions. The attacks came just two days before Iran and the US were slated to hold a sixth round of nuclear negotiations in Muscat with mediation by Oman. Those talks have now been cancelled. Trump, who initially emphasised repeatedly that his only demand in the negotiations was for Iran not to have nuclear bombs, has hardened his position in recent weeks to demand zero uranium enrichment taking place on Iranian soil. Iran has emphatically denied this condition, arguing that enrichment at low levels for civilian use such as power generation is an inalienable national right for which Iran has made sacrifices – including the past assassinations of its nuclear scientists. In response to the IAEA censure on Thursday, Iran said it will build its third nuclear enrichment site at a 'safe' location, along with upgrading centrifuges at the Fordow enrichment site. Iran is now enriching uranium up to 60 percent, but maintains that it seeks no military application for its nuclear programme. The 2015 nuclear deal with world powers that Trump unilaterally torpedoed in 2018 allowed Iran to enrich up to 3.67 percent under intense monitoring by the IAEA.
