‘Israeli' army boards Handala, abducts activists in international waters
The Handala, carrying food, baby formula, and humanitarian supplies, was part of a civilian mission aimed at breaking the blockade on Gaza. Activists had repeatedly stated that they were in international waters and posed no threat.
Organizers and human rights groups have condemned the raid as a violation of international law and an act of piracy, calling for the immediate release of the activists and accountability for the interception.

Netherlands bans Smotrich, Ben Gvir from entering country
Ammon News - The Dutch government will summon Israel's ambassador to the Netherlands to denounce the "unbearable and indefensable" situation in Gaza and has imposed travel bans on two far-right Israeli cabinet ministers, it said in a letter published late on Monday. Israeli government ministers Itamar Ben-Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich will no longer be allowed to enter the Netherlands, which accuses them of repeatedly inciting violence against Palestinians and calling for an "ethnic cleansing" of the Gaza strip. The Dutch decision follows similar moves last month by Britain, Canada, Australia, New Zealand and Norway. The government said it supported the EU's recommendation to curb Israeli access to its flagship research funding programme and said it would press for European trade sanctions if Israel was found to be in breach of its agreement with the European Union on increasing aid supplies.

More suicides: Another 'Israeli' soldier found dead in his home
Another 'Israeli' soldier committed suicide on Sunday, Hebrew media reported yesterday, bringing the number of suicides this month among the 'Israeli' military to six. Master Sgt. Ariel Meir Taman served in the 'Israeli' military Rabbinate division, and was found dead in his home in southern 'Israel'. His duties included identifying bodies after the events of Oct. 7, which reportedly triggered his case of mental unwellness. The 'Israeli' military police said it opened an investigation into the circumstances of his death. An acquaintance of the soldier told Hebrew media that he 'saw very difficult things in his position in recent years.' The 'Israeli' army saw a rise in suicides this year, with 17 cases recorded so far in 2025, compared to 21 for the entirety of 2024 and 17 in 2023.
