8 Palestinians killed in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza and Khan Younis
Ammon News - Eight Palestinians were killed and several others wounded early Saturday as Israeli warplanes carried out intense airstrikes on Gaza City and the al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. Two civilians were killed and others injured in an Israeli airstrike targeting the Adnan Al-Alami School, which was sheltering displaced families northwest of Gaza City, according to medical sources. In a separate attack, six more Palestinians were killed and several others wounded when Israeli occupation forces bombed a tent housing displaced people in al-Mawasi area, west of Khan Younis. Additionally, eight civilians were injured early this morning following Israeli artillery shelling on two homes in Jabalia al-Balad, in the northern Gaza Strip. Overnight, Israeli forces also carried out demolitions of residential buildings in the northeastern areas of Gaza City, adding to the widespread destruction of civilian infrastructure. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 56,331 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 132,632 others injured. Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks. Israel's genocidal attacks continue unabated despite calls from the UN Security Council for an immediate ceasefire and directives from the International Court of Justice urging measures to prevent genocide and alleviate the dire humanitarian situation in Gaza.

Macron says 'worst scenario' if Iran quits nuclear non-proliferation treaty
French President Emmanuel Macron said Thursday that US strikes on Iran's nuclear facilities were "genuinely effective" but the "worst-case scenario" would be if Tehran now exits the global non-proliferation treaty. "The worst would be that the consequence of this is Iran's exit from the Non-Proliferation Treaty and therefore, ultimately, a drift and a collective weakening," Macron told journalists after an EU summit in Brussels. Macron said that in a bid to maintain the treaty -- that is meant to limit the spread of nuclear weapons -- he would speak in the coming days to the five members of the United Nations Security Council. Those talks already kicked off with a call with President Donald Trump on Thursday in which Macron said he informed his US counterparts of contacts Paris had with Tehran in "the last few days and hours". "Our hope is that there will be a real convergence of views," Macron said, adding that the aim was "that there should be no resumption" of nuclear buildup by Iran. Iran ratified the nuclear non-proliferation treaty (NPT) in 1970, committing it to declare its nuclear material to the International Atomic Energy Agency. But it has recently begun preparing the grounds for a possible withdrawal from the treaty, accusing the agency of acting as a partner in 'Israel's war of aggression'. American B-2 bombers hit two Iranian nuclear sites with massive GBU-57 bunker-buster bombs last weekend, while a guided missile submarine struck a third site with Tomahawk cruise missiles. Trump himself has called the strikes a "spectacular military success" and repeatedly said they "obliterated" the nuclear sites. But US media revealed a preliminary American intelligence assessment earlier this week that said the strikes only set back Iran's nuclear program by months -- coverage sharply criticised by Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth and others.
