Since dawn, 'Israeli' strikes kill 19 Palestinians across Gaza
At least 19 Palestinians have been killed in 'Israeli' airstrikes across the Gaza Strip since dawn Monday, according to Palestinian media reports.
Al-Aqsa TV reported that six people were killed and an unspecified number injured in 'Israeli' bombing that targeted Khan Younis in southern Gaza.
Mohammed Zaqout, director of hospitals in Gaza, said intense 'Israeli' shelling hit several areas in Khan Younis. He warned that medical staff at Nasser Medical Complex fear an imminent raid by 'Israeli' forces.
Zaqout added that panic has spread through the hospital following Israeli strikes on its immediate surroundings.
Later reports said five more people were killed in an 'Israeli' airstrike near the Falouja market in Jabalia, in the northern part of the strip.
On Sunday, 'Israel' escalated its ground operations in Gaza, pushing to expand a buffer zone along the eastern, northern, and southern borders of the enclave. Recent military movements suggest an emerging plan to divide the strip.
Analysts believe 'Israel' may now be working to isolate Khan Younis from central Gaza—having already severed it from Rafah by seizing the Morag corridor.

'Israeli' minister storms West Bank village
Israeli Occupation Defense Minister Yisrael Katz stormed the Palestinian village of Sanur, south of Jenin, on Friday, one of several sites where the 'Israeli' government has approved the construction of new illegal settlements. Sanur was previously evacuated of settlers in 2005 as part of the unilateral disengagement plan under then-Prime Minister Ariel Sharon. During his provocative visit, Katz declared that the Israeli Occupation plans to build the so-called 'Jewish Israeli state' in the occupied West Bank. 'This is a firm response to those trying to harm us and weaken our grip on this land,' Katz said in a statement issued by his office. His comments came in response to French President Emmanuel Macron's recent remarks calling recognition of a Palestinian state a moral obligation and a political necessity. 'They will recognize a Palestinian state on paper,' Katz claimed, 'but we will build the Jewish Israeli state here on the ground.'

Hamas receives 'Israeli' response to US truce proposal
Hamas has received the 'Israeli' response to a US-backed ceasefire proposal for Gaza and is reviewing it carefully, but the group says it falls far short of Palestinian demands, senior Hamas official Basem Naim told Reuters on Friday, May 30, 2025. 'The response does not meet any of the just and legitimate demands of the Palestinian people,' Naim said, emphasizing the group's dissatisfaction. According to Reuters, the American proposal outlines a 60-day ceasefire. During the first week, it calls for the release of 28 'Israeli' captives—both living and deceased—in exchange for 125 Palestinian political prisoners serving life sentences and the handover of the remains of 180 Palestinians. The plan, which the White House says is guaranteed by US President Donald Trump and mediators from Egypt and Qatar, also includes immediate humanitarian aid to Gaza upon Hamas signing the agreement. The deal obligates Hamas to release the final 30 'Israeli' captives once a permanent ceasefire is reached. On Thursday, the White House confirmed that Israeli Occupation had officially accepted the American proposal. However, in further comments to CNN, a senior Hamas official revealed that the group had previously submitted a detailed counterproposal via Palestinian-American envoy Bashara Bahbah to Trump's Middle East envoy, Steve Witkoff. Hamas was reportedly 'shocked' by the US response, describing it as an 'Israeli document,' according to the official. Hamas's original counterproposal included three key demands: The release of all 'Israeli' captives. A 60-day ceasefire with American guarantees for continued negotiations leading to a permanent truce. The delivery of humanitarian aid through United Nations channels, and a withdrawal of 'Israeli' forces from areas occupied after March 2, 2025. Sources told CNN that these points were indeed communicated during discussions with Bahbah and shared with Witkoff. However, Hamas was surprised to find that none of its core demands were reflected in the latest proposal, reinforcing their belief that the document was shaped primarily by 'Israeli' interests.

Aid for over 200,000 people ready in Amman, just hours from Gaza
The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine Refugees (UNRWA) announced Friday that its warehouse in Amman, located just a three-hour drive from Gaza, holds enough humanitarian supplies to support more than 200,000 people for an entire month. In a post on X, the agency said that flour, food parcels, hygiene kits, blankets, and medical supplies are fully stocked and ready for immediate delivery. UNRWA stressed the urgent need for these supplies to reach Gaza without delay or obstruction. Jordan, in ongoing international discussions, has reiterated the need for a permanent ceasefire in Gaza and a swift end to the humanitarian catastrophe unfolding in the besieged strip. The Kingdom continues to call for the full opening of all border crossings to allow immediate and sufficient humanitarian aid into all areas of Gaza and to enable UN agencies to distribute it effectively. Jordan has also condemned what it describes as the 'Israeli' government's inhumane starvation tactics and emphasized that stopping these policies must be a top international priority. It warned that the brutality of Israeli Occupation's assault on Gaza and its systematic starvation strategy have crossed all boundaries and violated every humanitarian and international legal standard, calling for urgent global intervention.
