Israeli 'Madness' Continues in Gaza: Evacuation Orders and More Massacres
The Israeli madness continues in Gaza for the eighth day, with the occupation army committing new massacres across the besieged strip and issues evacuation orders in a bid to displace residents of north Gaza anew.
Palestinian media reported attacks targeted Gaza City's Shujayea and Zeitoun neighborhoods, as well as Deir Al-Balah, Nuseirat refugee camp, Bureij refugee camp and Rafah.
Gaza's Health Ministry said 792 people have been martyred and 1,663 injured in the week since the Israeli enemy resumed its war on the Strip.
The total death toll since the war started on October 7, 2023, has risen to 50,144, while 113,704 people have been injured, it said.

More of 270 of the 792 martyrs in the last week are children, Save the Children said, noting that the figure marks some of 'the deadliest days for children since the war began'.
'Bombs falling, hospitals destroyed, children killed [and] the world is silent,' Rachael Cummings, Save the Children's humanitarian director in Gaza, said. 'No aid, no safety, no future.'
The organization said in a statement the war's resumption is 'a death sentence for Gaza's children'.
Forcible Displacements
Meanwhile on Tuesday, the Israeli occupation army told Palestinians in all northern border towns to evacuate, saying Palestinian rockets were fired at 'Israel' from the area.
The Israeli military has now expanded evacuation orders to tens of thousands of residents across the war-battered enclave.

Most of Gaza's 2.3 million population has already been forcibly displaced multiple times during nearly 18 months of war. The also face worsening shortages of food, drinking water and medicine after the Israeli occupation blocked aid deliveries on March 2.
On the other hand, the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said nine of its staff are still missing for a third consecutive day after they failed to return from a rescue mission in southern Gaza's Rafah city.
The first responders headed for the Al-Hashaashin neighborhood of Rafah on Sunday after reports of casualties, but were 'besieged' by Israeli forces, according to PRCS.

Their fate 'remains unknown', it said. Israeli authorities have refused to cooperate with efforts to reach them through international organizations.

04 Jun 2025 14:29 PM Geagea urges swift disarmament of Palestinian camps
Lebanese Forces leader Samir Geagea warned that pro-resistance factions are pressuring officials to delay the planned disarmament of Palestinian groups, which was set to begin mid-June. He accused these factions of inciting smaller Palestinian groups to reject surrendering arms. Geagea urged the government to proceed decisively with collecting weapons in Beirut's camps, followed by those in the north, Bekaa, and south, alongside a timeline to disarm all illegal Lebanese weapons. The LF leader stressed that delays would damage the new administration's credibility and isolate Lebanon from Arab and international support. He called on the president and government to act swiftly and assert state authority.

Pressure mounts on Netanyahu as opposition moves to dissolve parliament
By Alexander Cornwell A member of Israel's right-wing coalition threatened to quit the cabinet on Wednesday and support an opposition motion to dissolve parliament tabled for next week, piling pressure on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. Latest opinion polls suggest that Netanyahu's coalition would lose power if an election was held today, with many voters unhappy over the continued war in Gaza prompted by the attack by Hamas militants on southern Israel in October 2023. United Torah Judaism, one of two ultra-Orthodox parties in the coalition, said it would withdraw from the government unless it secured last-minute concessions formalising an exemption for ultra-Orthodox men from military service. The opposition party Yesh Atid, led by former prime minister Yair Lapid, put forward a parliamentary vote for next week to topple the government, even as the Israeli army continues battling Hamas in the Gaza Strip. It would require the support of 61 out of the 120 members of the parliament to succeed. 'This Knesset (parliament) is finished. It has nowhere to go,' Lapid said. Netanyahu, Israel's longest-serving prime minister, has remained silent on the looming crisis. A spokesperson for United Torah Judaism leader Yitzhak Goldknopf told Reuters the party would vote in favour of dissolving parliament unless exemption legislation was passed. With a week until the vote, Netanyahu and his allies still have time to negotiate over an issue that has dogged the coalition for months. A source close to the government said, on condition of anonymity, that negotiations within the coalition were continuing. Netanyahu's coalition of secular right-wing and ultra-Orthodox parties holds an 8-seat majority in parliament. United Torah Judaism has 7 seats while its ally, Shas, the other ultra-Orthodox party, has 11. BETTING ON A BLUFF The coalition is sharply divided over whether young ultra-Orthodox men who are studying in religious seminaries should be exempt from mandatory military service. Failing to pass an exemption risks a walkout by ultra-Orthodox lawmakers, while approving it could trigger a protest exit by secular parties. Coalition member Ohad Tal of Bezalel Smotrich's Religious Zionism party criticized Goldknopf for threatening to trigger elections and called on the ultra-Orthodox lawmaker to resign. He urged others to negotiate a new arrangement but that a blanket exemption from military service could no longer stand. Former Knesset member Ofer Shelah said Netanyahu was likely betting the ultra-Orthodox lawmakers were bluffing, given the polls suggested they faced defeat in any early election. In March, ultra-Orthodox lawmakers threatened to bring down the government over the same issue, but time passed without any action. Resentment over the informal exemption given to religious seminary students is growing and lawmakers from the ruling coalition and opposition ranks say it is no longer tenable. Netanyahu won election in 2022 and does not have to return to the polls until 2026. Historically, few Israeli governments serve a full term. He has faced widespread criticism for failing to prevent the surprise October 2023 Hamas attack that killed roughly 1,200 people, and is facing growing calls from protesters and families of hostages still held in Gaza to end the war to secure their release. But some in his coalition say the war must continue until Hamas is eradicated. Political analysts say that the ultra-Orthodox lawmakers could simply quit the government to protest their failure to secure concessions, without toppling the ruling coalition
