Al-Ahram Weekly5 days ago
At least 11 Palestinians were killed and several others injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting various neighbourhoods in Gaza City since early Tuesday, according to medical sources.
Three civilians were confirmed dead and others wounded after an Israeli strike hit the home of the Al-Sabbagh family in the Al-Zarqa area of Al-Tuffah neighbourhood, northeast of the city, according to WAFA.
Another citizen was killed and several more were injured when Israeli forces bombed a house near Hamza Mosque on Al-Lababidi Street in western Gaza City.
In a separate incident, Israeli drones targeted a group of civilians on Al-Nadeem Street in the Al-Zaytoun neighbourhood in southern Gaza City, injuring multiple people, including journalists.
The recent casualties of Israeli bombardment raise the number of those killed since the start of Israel's genocidal war on Gaza in October 2023 to over 58, 060 and the number of injured over 139,000, mostly women and children.

Ceasefire takes effect in Syria's Suweida amid security deployments, fears of collapse

A comprehensive ceasefire came into effect on Saturday in Syria's Suweida province after an unprecedented wave of violence that left hundreds dead and injured. The Syrian government announced the deployment of security forces across flashpoint areas, warning that any breach of the agreement would face legal consequences, amid rising international concern over civilian protection. In an official statement, the Syrian presidency declared an immediate and full ceasefire, urging all parties to halt combat operations and ensure unhindered humanitarian access. The statement stressed that violations would be considered an affront to national sovereignty and would be dealt with firmly. Meanwhile, the spiritual leadership of the Druze community, led by Sheikh Hikmat Al-Hijri, announced an agreement brokered by 'guarantor states' with the government. The deal includes deploying General Security checkpoints outside Suweida's administrative borders and guarantees safe passage for remaining Bedouin tribal members. Interior Ministry spokesman Nour Al-Din Baba confirmed that General Security forces had begun redeployment, focusing on rural areas previously under Bedouin tribal control. Although some forces temporarily withdrew after clashes, gradual deployment has resumed. A Syrian security source said the agreement's implementation should be completed within 48 hours. This includes exchanging detainees, opening humanitarian corridors between Suweida and neighbouring Daraa, and evacuating trapped civilians. Security forces will remain stationed outside urban centres to avoid direct confrontation, with plans to extend deployment into the western and northern countryside. The Syrian Defence Ministry had earlier set a deadline for tribal fighters to surrender heavy weapons captured from local militias and withdraw from contested zones. In response, the 'Southern Tribes Coalition' pledged full compliance with the ceasefire, calling for detainee releases and the return of displaced residents. The Syrian Network for Human Rights reported that at least 321 people—including six children and nine women—have been killed and over 436 wounded since violence erupted on 13 July. The casualties include civilians, tribal fighters, local armed factions, and government security personnel. US Special Envoy to Syria Thomas Barak announced that Syria and Israel had reached a ceasefire deal backed by the United States, Turkey, Jordan, and other neighbouring countries. Writing on X (formerly Twitter), Barak said Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Syrian President Ahmad al-Shara had endorsed the agreement. He urged Druze, Bedouin, and Sunni communities to lay down arms and work towards a unified Syrian identity. While Damascus and Tel Aviv have yet to comment, Washington has stepped up diplomatic efforts to calm tensions. The European Union welcomed the truce but voiced 'shock' over the scale of sectarian violence, urging inclusive dialogue and accountability for violations of international law. UN High Commissioner for Human Rights Volker Türk called on Syrian authorities to uphold justice and accountability, insisting the bloodshed must end and civilian protection must remain paramount under international law. On the humanitarian front, Syrian Social Affairs Minister Hind Qabawat confirmed that aid convoys carrying medical and food supplies are ready to move into Suweida as soon as security conditions allow, coordinated with international agencies. The Ministry of Information detailed a three-phase plan for the ceasefire: de-escalation between armed groups and tribal fighters; delivery of humanitarian aid and basic services; and finally, reactivation of government institutions and full deployment of internal security forces across the province. Locally, Sheikh Laith Wahid Al-Balaous, son of late Druze leader Wahid Al-Balaous, condemned the violence, accusing those dragging the Druze into external conflicts of serving foreign agendas. He called for national unity, an immediate investigation into civilian abuses, and concrete guarantees to prevent further violations. Although initial steps are under way, the fragile security situation and continued Israeli threats leave the ceasefire at risk. The coming days will test whether all parties can honour their commitments and prevent a return to bloodshed in southern Syria.

Zamalek slap EGP 1 mln fine on fullback Fatouh over disciplinary violation - Egyptian Football

Zamalek have fined fullback Ahmed Fatouh EGP 1 million for disciplinary reasons, the Cairo giants announced on Saturday. According to a statement on the club's official Facebook page, Zamalek also suspended the 27-year-old Egyptian international's dues and launched an investigation after he was seen attending a party without permission. Fatouh had reportedly left the team's ongoing training camp—part of preparations for the upcoming season—after citing a family emergency to visit his sick uncle. However, a video later surfaced showing him at a party on the North Coast. Fatouh, who joined Zamalek from Smouha in October 2020, has been a key player in recent seasons. He has scored six goals in 179 appearances across all competitions for the club. The new Egyptian Premier League season is set to kick off on 8 August.
