Another journalist killed in Israeli air strike in Gaza

Aljazeera Arabic's Gaza correspondent Anas al-Sharif revealed on Thursday that another journalist has been killed in an Israeli air strike on his family's tent in Gaza City. Adam Abu Harbeid was a cameraman for the broadcaster al-Quds al-Youm. Several members of Abu Harbeid's family were critically injured, Sharif said. "He accompanied me on much news coverage and was an example of politeness, humility, and respect," Sharif wrote on X, sharing a photograph of the two of them at work. "May God have mercy on you, our beloved Adam, and grant you Paradise," he added. A photograph shared by Aljazeera correspondent Anas al-Sharif on X shows him at work alongside al-Quds al-Youm cameraman Adam Abu Harbeid, who was killed in an Israeli strike on 24 July 2025.

Netanyahu slams Macron recognition of State of Palestine

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu slammed French President Emmanuel Macron for his decision on Thursday to recognise the State of Palestine at the United Nations General Assembly in September. "We strongly condemn President Macron's decision to recognize a Palestinian state next to Tel Aviv in the wake of the October 7 massacre. Such a move rewards terror and risks creating another Iranian proxy, just as Gaza became," Netanyahu said. "A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel — not to live in peace beside it. Let's be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel."

Without mentioning Israel, US envoy says only Lebanese army can operate within own borders

The US Special Envoy for Syria and also Ambassador to Turkey, Tom Barrack, said on Thursday that the US will support Lebanon as long as only the Lebanese Armed Forces (LAF) is permitted to operate within its borders, and control its arms supply. The statement is notable as it comes shortly after confirmation from the Israeli army that it has bombed multiple alleged weapons sites in southern Lebanon belonging to Hezbollah. Barrack did not name Israel in his statement. "During my recent visit to Beirut, I stated that Hizballah is 'an issue that must be resolved by the Lebanese themselves,' reaffirming a long-standing position of the United States — that Hizballah represents a challenge which only the Lebanese government can address," Barrack wrote on X. "Our goal in Lebanon is 'a strong Lebanese state that can take on and disarm Hizballah,'" he said, citing remarks by US Secretary of State Marco Rubio. "The United States draws no distinction between Hezbollah's political and military branches. We view the group in its entirety as what it is: a foreign terrorist organization," Barrack wrote, appearing to spell Hezbollah differently in a follow-up post. "By contrast, the United States recognizes the LAF as the sole legitimate national military institution and a pillar of Lebanon's sovereignty and the key to securing a stable and prosperous future," he said.
