Footage reveals growing pattern of 'Israeli' attacks at Gaza aid centers
The recurring incidents of violence near aid distribution sites in Gaza operated by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a controversial US and 'Israeli'-backed organization, have drawn significant attention due to their devastating impact on civilians. Since March 2025, 'Israel' has imposed restrictions on international aid agencies, such as the United Nations Relief and Works Agency (UNRWA), limiting their ability to deliver humanitarian assistance. The GHF was introduced as an alternative, but its operations have been criticized for ignoring established norms for safe aid distribution. The UN and other aid groups have warned that the GHF's system, which funnels aid through militarized zones, is inherently unsafe and has become a "death trap" for civilians. The blockade and restrictions have exacerbated Gaza's food crisis, leaving over 2 million people reliant on limited aid. The GHF's single operational center in Rafah forces hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to travel south, creating chaotic and overcrowded conditions that heighten the risk of violence. The GHF operates aid distribution sites in militarized zones, often near Israeli Occupation Forces (IOF) positions. This setup creates dangerous bottlenecks, as desperate civilians are forced to navigate areas under military control to access food and supplies. Witnesses and humanitarian experts have reported that the presence of IOF soldiers near these sites frequently leads to confrontations, with soldiers firing on crowds "perceived as threats." Reports, including one from Haaretz, allege that 'Israeli' soldiers were ordered to use lethal force against civilians near aid sites, even when they posed no apparent threat. This has been described as treating gunfire as a form of communication, with soldiers firing machine guns and throwing grenades at crowds. Numerous video footage has also documented events of American and 'Israeli' forces shooting civilians near aid centers. Witnesses and Palestinian officials have reported that the IOF open fire without warning on civilians approaching aid sites. For example, a July 12, 2025, incident near Rafah saw at least 34 civilians killed, with witnesses describing soldiers firing directly on hungry crowds. Gaza's Government Media Office labeled these actions as potential war crimes, accusing 'Israel' of pursuing a "systematic policy of genocide" under the guise of aid distribution. The GHF has also been accused of enabling 'Israel's' strategy to displace Palestinians into concentrated areas, potentially as part of a broader plan to control or depopulate parts of Gaza. Critics argue that the GHF's operations align with 'Israeli' proposals, such as the controversial "humanitarian city" in Rafah, which some liken to a "concentration camp" intended to displace 2.1 million Palestinians. The GHF has denied reports of violence at its sites, with its leader, Johnnie Moore, claiming that not all casualties are directly linked to their operations. However, the UN and other sources have reported nearly 800 deaths near GHF sites since late May 2025.

'Israel' strikes Syrian tanks in Suwayda
'Israel's' military said it struck on Monday several tanks in the Suwayda province of southern Syria, where dozens have been killed in clashes between Bedouin tribes and Druze fighters. The military struck "several tanks a short while ago in the area of Sami village (in the Sweida region) in southern Syria. To be continued," the military's Arabic language spokesman Avichay Adraee posted on X. Although the 'Israeli' military did not explicitly identify to whom the tanks belong to in the statement, it is apparent they are tanks of the new Syrian government, as state media reported earlier that reinforcements were deployed to control the ongoing fighting in the Suwayda province.

Representing King .. Patriarch Theophilos III delivers speech during solidarity visit Ramallah
Ammon News - Representing His Majesty King Abdullah II, Patriarch Theophilos III, patriarch of the Holy City and all Palestine and Jordan, delivered a speech on Monday during a solidarity visit to Taybeh, east of Ramallah in the occupied West Bank, following escalating attacks by Israeli settlers that threaten one of the Holy Land's Christian heritage sites. In the speech, His Majesty condemned recent attacks by Israeli settlers on the historic Church of Saint George (Al-Khader) and the Christian cemetery in the town of Taybeh, where they set fire near the cemetery, as a barbaric and flagrant violation of the sanctity of the dead, Christian holy sites, and Christian presence in the Holy Land. The enormity of attacks, the settlers' daily terrorizing of Palestinians, and systematic assaults against dozens of villages, cities, and refugee camps in the occupied Palestinian territories require a firm international response to halt the aggression, particularly the genocide against children, women, the elderly, and civilians in the Gaza Strip, the King said. His Majesty called for protection of unarmed Palestinians, their holy sites and the right to live in freedom and dignity and establish their state on their national soil, with East Jerusalem as its capital. A delegation of the Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Christian Churches in Jerusalem joined in the visit, along with the pastor of the Latin Monastery Church in Taybeh, Father Bashar Fawadleh, Jordanian Ambassador to the State of Palestine, Issam Al-Bdour and Taybeh Mayor, Suleiman Khoury. During the visit to Al-Khader St. George Church, one of the most ancient churches in Palestine, and Taybeh Christian cemetery and lands threatened with confiscation by the Israeli occupation authorities, the delegation were briefed on settler attacks on the town, its lands, property, and Christian holy sites. The Council of Patriarchs and Heads of Christian Churches in Jerusalem demanded that settlers who perpetrated attacks against the church and cemetery be held accountable, and said the Israeli occupation authorities is fully responsible for facilitating such attacks. They also called for protection of Christian holy sites in the town in particular and the Palestinian territories in general, and an investigation to punish the extremist settlers for the violations against Taybeh, the city of Christ. In an interview with Petra's reporter in Ramallah, Taybeh Mayor Suleiman Khoury commended His Majesty's support of the Palestinians and the Jordanian government and people for their stand with Taybeh during "these difficult circumstances that were imposed by the occupation authority and the settlers and targeted the Christian presence in Palestine. Khoury said His Majesty's speech and the visit of the church delegation had an impact in supporting the people of Taybeh, raising their morale, and strengthening their resilience in the face of barbaric assaults.
