Israeli strikes kill 72 Palestinians in Gaza
Another Israeli air strike on a home in the Zeitoun neighbourhood south of Gaza City killed eight people, leaving multiple other people wounded, according to medical sources. Eight more people were killed, and others injured, including a woman and two children, in Israeli strikes on tents of displaced people in al-Mawasi camp in Gaza's south, the Palestinian news agency Wafa reported.

The Israeli military told the Reuters news agency that it was looking into the reported deaths of people waiting for food aid. The bodies of 20 people shot dead in northern Gaza by Israeli forces while waiting for aid trucks were left on the street for five days before Civil Defence paramedics from the United Nations Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs were given approval by Israeli officials to recover them. Ahmed Ghaben told Al Jazeera about the death of a relative saying that his nephew wasn't a resistance fighter and that he simply went to get a bag of flour. He said: 'My nephew went to bring his children a bag of flour, but he was brought back a lifeless body, as you can see, a martyr. 'He left 14 family members. He went [to get aid] due to hunger. He wasn't a resistance fighter. He went to get a bag of flour.' Al Jazeera's Tareq Abu Azzoum, reporting from Deir el-Balah, said, 'It's very clear that Israeli forces are targeting civilians who only went to get bags of flour or boxes of food. 'Eyewitnesses say the soldiers used a variety of weapons, including drones and tanks. Snipers who have been deployed in nearby hills have also been gunning down the civilians. 'The Israeli military claims these hungry crowds are a security threat, but these claims have not been substantiated with clear evidence.' Experts have warned that Israel's ongoing war on Gaza and restrictions on the entry of aid have put Gaza, which is home to some two million Palestinians, at risk of famine. The UN's human rights chief, Volker Turk, condemned Israel's conduct around the aid centres this week.

Hate crime case against Boulder suspect can go forward, judge rules
Soliman faces a maximum sentence of life in prison if he's found guilty of the federal hate crime charges against him. The native of Egypt has also been charged in state court with 118 criminal counts, including attempted murder and other offenses. He sat expressionless in federal court in Denver. A city rattled: Divisions deepen in wealthy, liberal Boulder after antisemitic attack What happened in the attack in Boulder? Soliman is accused of lobbing Molotov cocktails and using a makeshift flamethrower to target Run for Their Lives, a group advocating for the release of Israeli hostages taken by Hamas and held in Gaza for more than 20 months. The attack in Boulder came less than two weeks after two Israeli Embassy staff members were brazenly shot to death in Washington, D.C., amid a rise in antisemitism incidents across the U.S. and as tensions have escalated over Israel's war in Gaza, prompted by a brutal Hamas-led assault on Israeli border communities Oct. 7, 2023. What do authorities say was the suspect's motive? Soliman said "he wanted them to all die . . . He said he would go back and do it again and had no regret doing what he did," Boulder Detective John Sailer wrote in court papers of the attack on the gathering at a Boulder pedestrian mall. Soliman said that, to him, anyone who supported the existence of Israel on "our land" is a Zionist. He defined "our land" as Palestine, court documents said. Soliman allegedly hurled two of the 18 Molotov cocktails he'd brought with him, authorities said, yelling "Free Palestine." A federal affidavit charging Soliman with a hate crime and attempted murder says he learned about the march from an online search. He said he waited for his daughter to graduate from high school before executing the plot, according to the affidavit. He hoped to use a gun and had taken shooting classes, but his immigration status prevented him from purchasing a firearm, the affidavit says. What is happening in the immigration case In her first public statement, Soliman's wife, Hayam El Gamal, who along with her five children is being held at a family detention facility in south Texas, that they are "in total shock'' over her husband's alleged June 1 attack. El Gamal and the children, now ages 4 to 18, were arrested by immigration agents June 3, and the White House said they would be subjected to expedited deportation. But a federal judge in Denver blocked that move the next day, saying they were entitled to due process. By then the family had been transferred to the detention facility in Texas, where the case will be heard. "We are grieving, and we are suffering,'' El Gamal said in social media remarks posted Wednesday. "We are treated like animals by the officers, who told us we are being punished for what my husband is accused of doing.'' El Gamal said the family has been cooperating with authorities, and she expressed concern for both the victims of the attack and her children's wellbeing amid the anguish of their ordeal. El Gamal made the comments through Eric Lee, the lawyer representing her and the children, who posted them to his X account. Lee added that a federal judge on Wednesday extended a temporary restraining order keeping the Trump administration from deporting the family, who came to the U.S. from Kuwait in 2022 and sought asylum. Immigration and Customs Enforcement officials did not immediately respond to a request for comment. What is the group Run for Their Lives? The national Run for Their Lives organization has sponsored walks and runs in hundreds of cities since the Oct. 7, 2023, attack in Israel, the deadliest on Jews since the Holocaust, as about 1,200 people were killed and 240 were taken hostage by Hamas. The Hamas-run Health Ministry in Gaza says more than 50,000 Palestinians have been killed since the onset of the war, which Israel launched in response to the attack.

Kneecap member arrive at court to face terrorism charge
Liam Og O hAnnaidh, who performs under the stage name Mo Chara, is accused of displaying a flag in support of Hezbollah at a gig in November last year. The 27-year-old arrived at court on Wednesday with the other two members of the Belfast trio – Naoise O Caireallain and J J O Dochartaigh. Kneecap said London had been 'plastered' with messages of support before the hearing at Westminster Magistrates' Court on Wednesday, with a billboard displaying the words 'more blacks, more dogs, more Irish, Mo Chara' seen in the Lambeth area.

The charge Og O hAnnaidh faces alleges he displayed a flag in a public place, 'in such a way or in such circumstances as to arouse reasonable suspicion that he is a supporter of a proscribed organisation' – namely, Hezbollah. Kneecap described the prosecution as a 'witch hunt' in a post on X on Tuesday evening. A huge scrum of their hundreds of supporters greeted them as they slowly made their way to the entrance of the court building.

Supporters gathered outside the court building from early in the morning, holding placards saying 'Free Mo Chara' and 'Defend Kneecap'. A mixture of Palestinian and Kneecap flags were being held by some of the crowd, and cheers were heard after an ad van drove past displaying the slogan 'More Blacks, More Dogs, More Irish, Mo Chara'. (Image: PA) Austrian Alexandra Kennedy, who had travelled from her home country to show support, said: 'I think that Kneecap are important to so many people that if Liam Og O hAnnaidh gets a heavy sentence, then maybe people will lose something, they need the connection to Kneecap.' Copywriter Victoria Ashworth travelled from her home in Brighton with her daughter Lily to attend the protest. Ms Ashworth, 53, said: 'I just feel like the charges are utterly ridiculous. I believe in freedom of speech.' Police removed a pro-Israel protester who walked into the crowd wearing an Israeli flag which prompted boos, swearing and shouts of 'free Palestine'. The crowd became animated and shouted 'Israel is a terrorist state' and 'take him out for his own safety' as he made gestures and argued with protesters.

The Metropolitan Police said the force had charged O hAnnaidh, who appears on the court list as Liam O'Hanna, after initially being made aware of a video from the gig at the O2 Forum which had been posted online. In a separate event shortly after the terrorism charge, O hAnnaidh could be seen in social media videos entering the stage with tape covering his mouth. The Met previously said Kneecap were under investigation after clips posted online appeared to show the band calling for the deaths of MPs and shouting 'up Hamas, up Hezbollah'. The rap trio said they have 'never supported' Hamas or Hezbollah, both of which are banned in the UK. READ MORE: TRNSMT: Kneecap removed from Glasgow TRNSMT lineup The group were removed from Glasgow's TRNSMT lineup after "concerns expressed by police." The Glasgow Times previously reported that the group posted a statement reading: "Due to concerns expressed by the Police about safety at the event, Kneecap will no longer perform at TRNSMT on Friday, July 11. "We thank fans for their understanding." Liam Og O Hannaidh arriving at court(Image: PA)In April, the Glasgow Times reported that First Minister John Swinney supported calls for Kneecap's removal from the TRNSMT lineup after a video clip from a 2023 performance showed a band member saying: "The only good Tory is a dead Tory. Kill your local MP." Mr Swinney said the comments "crossed a line" and were unacceptable. He added: "It would be unacceptable for me for the band to perform on such a stage given the fact that their comments are so beyond the pale. "I think TRNSMT have got to respond to that." O hAnnaidh was released on unconditional bail until his next hearing on August 20 when legal argument will be dealt with. Chief Magistrate Paul Goldspring told him he must attend court on that day. He received a round of applause outside the courtroom after the short hearing.
