War-weary Gazans share images of destruction in Israel
GAZA: Residents of the Gaza Strip have circulated images of wrecked buildings and charred vehicles hit by Iranian missiles in Israeli cities, and some were hopeful the wider conflict could eventually bring peace to their ruined homeland. Iranian missiles struck Tel Aviv and the Israeli port city of Haifa before dawn on Monday, killing at least eight people, part of a wave of attacks by Tehran in retaliation for Israel's strikes targeting its nuclear and ballistic missile programs. 'The Iranian response was a surprise to me, to many Palestinians, and the Israelis too. Everyone thought it would be mild and theatrical,' said Mohammed Jamal, 27, a resident of Gaza City. 'Watching rockets fall without the stupid Iron Dome being able to stop them is a joy, and seeing buildings collapsing and fires everywhere reminds me of the destruction the occupation brought on Gaza, yet I can't even begin to compare,' he said via a chat app. The Iron Dome is a part of Israel's multi-layered missile defense system that tackles the kind of short-range rockets and mortars fired by militants from Gaza. Tahrir, a 34-year-old mother of four, said their house was destroyed in the Shejaia suburb, east of Gaza City, in the early weeks of the war in 2023, and her family has since been displaced several times. 'Finally, many Israelis felt what we have felt for 20 months, fear, loss of faith, and displacement,' she said. 'I hope that this time, they will press their government to end the war in Gaza because all of what is happening with Iran is part of the wider Gaza war.' With Israel saying its operation could last weeks, fears have grown of a regional conflagration dragging in outside powers. 'I was never a fan of Iran, but seeing them retaliate for real, not a play like in previous times, made me happy, despite all the sadness around me,' said Amr Salah, 29. 'It is nothing compared to what Israel did to Gaza, but at least a taste of it. It is maybe time to end all of this, in Gaza too,' he added. The war in Gaza erupted 20 months ago. Israel's military campaign has killed nearly 55,000 Palestinians, most of them civilians, according to health authorities in Gaza, and flattened much of the densely populated strip, which is home to more than 2 million people. Most of the population is displaced, and malnutrition is widespread. Palestinian groups praised the retaliatory strikes by Iran. 'Scenes of Iranian missiles striking the strongholds and hideouts of the Zionists carry with them a sense of pride, dignity, and honor that shatters Zionist arrogance and dominance,' said a statement issued in the name of the 'Factions of Resistance.'

GCC slams Israeli attack on Iran and calls on all parties to exercise restraint
Saudi Gazette report RIYADH — The Gulf Cooperation Council (GCC) condemned the Israeli aggression on Iran and urged all parties to exercise restraint and halt the war to avoid a dangerous slide into a wider conflict. Jassim Albudaiwi, secretary general of GCC, said this in a statement following the 48th extraordinary meeting of the GCC Ministerial Council held via video conference on Monday. Abdullah Al-Yahya, Kuwait's minister of foreign affairs and chairman of the current session of the Ministerial Council, chaired the meeting, which was attended by the GCC foreign ministers. The meeting decided to activate the Emergency Management Center to prevent environmental and radiological hazards. Albudaiwi said that the meeting reviewed that the region has been witnessing an extremely dangerous and unprecedented escalation in recent days due to the attacks by the Israeli occupation forces on Iran and the response by Iran. "This has heightened tensions in the region and opened the door to disturbing scenarios, undermining the prospects for political processes and leading to the collapse of dialogue and diplomatic efforts," he said. The GCC chief emphasized that the Gulf countries remain committed to calming tensions, enabling to start dialogue, and preventing a slide into any conflict that threatens the stability of the Gulf and the world. The meeting underlined the need to avoid a dangerous slide into a wider conflict of which the outcomes will be unpredictable and uncontrollable. The meeting discussed the repercussions and challenges that may face GCC countries as a result of these rapid developments. These include the implications of any escalation that may affect nuclear facilities, given its potential impact on the regional environment and vital infrastructure. These repercussions could also extend to the economy, disrupt supply chains, trade and energy flows, and threaten the safety of vital waterways. Albudaiwi said that the GCC meeting has decided to activate the GCC Emergency Management Center to take all necessary preventive measures at all environmental and radiological levels, and to closely monitor technical indicators in these critical circumstances. This is in line with the implementation of the Supreme Council's directives to strengthen emergency response systems in the context of the potentially serious technical and environmental repercussions of any targeting of nuclear facilities. This is done in full coordination with the competent authorities in member states and through early warning systems. Albudaiwi noted that technical indicators so far remain within the safe range, and there is no cause for concern. He emphasized that the state of full alert remains in place to ensure the highest levels of preparedness and to reinforce the ongoing vigilance as required by the situation.
