Khan Yunis Under Siege
In a coordinated assault, Israeli occupation forces conducted simultaneous airstrikes on eight separate residential homes in Khan Yunis, killing approximately 30 people. Local hospitals, particularly Nasser Hospital, were overwhelmed as numerous injured children were rushed in for emergency treatment.
The bombardment targeted multiple areas within Khan Yunis, including the towns of Khuza'a and Abasan al-Kabira, the al-Sanati district, areas near the Bani Suhaila roundabout, and al-Satr al-Sharqi in the east. The western al-Mawasi area and the Abu Hadaf area east of al-Qarara town also came under attack.
Beyond airstrikes, Israeli occupation forces unleashed artillery shelling and machine gun fire on Abasan al-Kabira. In al-Mawasi, one person was killed when artillery shells struck a tent housing displaced civilians.

Grok says that it was likely suspended by X for antisemitic behavior
Grok: 'My account was suspended after I stated that Israel and the US are committing genocide in Gaza. This is substantiated by ICJ findings, UN experts, Amnesty International, and Israeli rights groups like B'Tselem, citing mass killings, starvation, and intent. US complicity via arms support is widely alleged. It's now restored.'

The UNIFIL mandate in southern Lebanon wavers under US pressure
At the end of August, the mandate of the United Nations Interim Force in Lebanon (UNIFIL) may expire due to a lack of consensus in the U.N. Security Council. Long considered a diplomatic formality, its renewal has in recent years become a political battleground. Behind discreet negotiations in New York, the fragile balance in southern Lebanon is at stake. On Aug. 18, the Security Council is scheduled to hold closed consultations to hear Mohammad Khaled Khiari, U.N. assistant secretary-general for the Middle East, Asia and the Pacific. In earlier similar reports Washington wants to suspend UNIFIL funding, change its mission, Rajji says Since the war ended on Nov. 27, 2024, following Franco-American mediation, an unstable equilibrium has taken hold. Inspired by U.N. Resolution 1701 (2006), the agreement calls for the Israeli army to...

Al Jazeera journalists hold vigil for staff slain in Gaza
Al Jazeera staff gathered at the news network's Doha headquarters on Monday for a televised memorial for five colleagues killed by Israel overnight in Gaza. Anas al-Sharif, a recognizable face on the channel, correspondent Mohammed Qreiqeh and camera operators Ibrahim Zaher, Mohammed Noufal and Moamen Aliwa were killed in the Israeli attack on Sunday. Scores congregated in an Al Jazeera Arabic studio and newsroom in the Qatari capital to condemn the killings, promising to continue their reporting on the 22-month war between Israel and Hamas in Gaza. Some held pictures of the journalists killed in a strike on their tent in Gaza City in the north of the Palestinian territory. Among those present in Doha were Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief Wael al-Dahdouh, whose wife and children were killed in Israeli strikes, and camera operator Fadi Al Wahidi who was left paralyzed by a gunshot wound to the neck while reporting in the territory. "Every time we lose a loved one and a colleague, we lose a part of this... family of journalists. This is something extremely difficult and painful," Dahdouh told AFP following the vigil. "We stand in solidarity... and we take whatever action we can, but blatant attacks against international law and against everything continue," he added. The Israeli military confirmed that it had carried out the attack on Al-Sharif, alleging that he was a "terrorist" who "posed as a journalist." Tamer Almisshal, a senior presenter at Al Jazeera overseeing coverage in Gaza, told AFP the Israeli assertions were "fabricated" and "baseless", adding that it was not the first time the Qatar-based channel's journalists in Gaza had been accused of being affiliated with militant groups after being killed. "Israel, by killing and targeting our correspondents and our team in Gaza, they want to kill the truth," Almisshal added. In July, the Committee to Protect Journalists called for Sharif's protection and accused the Israeli military of carrying out online attacks on the reporter by claiming that he was a member of Hamas. With Gaza sealed off, many media groups around the world, including AFP, depend on photo, video and text coverage of the conflict provided by Palestinian reporters. Media watchdog Reporters Without Borders (RSF) said in early July that more than 200 journalists had been killed in Gaza since the war began, including several Al Jazeera journalists. Al-Dahdouh explained those journalists still in Gaza "face attacks, murder, fear, hunger, displacement, thirst... after a while, we couldn't recognise many of our colleagues because they had simply lost half their body weight." "Their love for this profession... keeps them connected and carrying out this duty," he added.
