Afghanistan
Allah Gul Mujahid Detained on Murder Charges
Getting rid of those who supported the old government, one by one.
[TOLONEWS] The Kabul Security Command reported the arrest of Allah Gul Mujahid, a former parliament member of the previous government, on murder charges.

Khalid Zadran, spokesperson for the command, said that Allah Gul Mujahid will remain in jug until the completion of the legal proceedings and a competent court's decision.

Zadran identified the victim as Saeedullah, who was killed in February this year.

The spokesperson of the Kabul Security Command said, "Allah Gul Mujahid is the suspect in the case of the late Qari Saeedullah, who was killed on February 28, 2024. The existing documents and the nature of the case proceedings require that his freedom be restricted. Therefore, it has been decided that he will remain in detention until the investigation is complete and a decision is made by a competent court."

Mohammad Asif Faqiri, a legal analyst, told TOLOnews, "The enforcement and implementation of the penal code on someone who was once a power executor is a manifestation of social justice. Social justice necessitates accountability."

Family members of Allah Gul Mujahid have not yet made any public comments.

Allah Gul Mujahid had also been previously detained shortly after the return of the Islamic Emirate to power but was later released and left the country.

However,
alcohol has never solved anybody's problems. But then, neither has milk...
after mediation by the Commission for Contact with Afghan Figures, he returned to the country on June 25 last year.

Aziz Ma'arj, a political analyst, said, "It is true that the accused is considered innocent until a final court verdict is rendered; however, the accused is under detention to ensure the proceedings are conducted and to prevent escape from the law."

Allah Gul Mujahid served multiple terms as a representative of the people of Kabul in the House of Representatives of the former government.

Africa Horn
Sudanese army bolsters forces in Al-Faw as fight for Al Jazirah continues
[SUDANTRIBUNE] In a second visit within two weeks, Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
’s Deputy Military Commander, Shams al-Din Kabashi, inspected operations on the al-Faw front in eastern Al Jazirah State on Sunday.

Several sources said that Major General Adam Haroun, accompanying Kabashi, has been appointed to lead the al-Faw military area. His appointment comes after his successful leadership in reclaiming strategic locations in Omdurman in March.

Sovereign Council media highlighted the "harmony and high morale" of stationed forces during Kabashi’s visit. Photos released by the Council confirmed Haroun’s presence, with sources indicating his mission is to regain control of Al Jazirah from the Rapid Support Forces (RSF).

The Sudanese army encircles Al Jazirah from multiple directions. However,
a hangover is the wrath of grapes...
the al-Faw axis, east of Wad Madani, has seen setbacks.

Last week, army-allied forces, including factions led by Gibril Ibrahim and Minni Minnawi, retreated from the village of al-Faqeesha. The RSF claims victories against these groups.

This ongoing conflict has caused immense hardship for civilians. Rights groups accuse the RSF of killings, looting, and rape in Al Jazirah villages. A communications blackout exceeding 90 days has further exacerbated the situation.

The fight for Al Jazirah remains deadlocked, with the Sudanese army attempting to dislodge the RSF. The Sudanese people continue to bear the brunt of the conflict, enduring both violence and restricted communication.

Renewed clashes in El Fasher leave 27 civilians dead, 130 injured
[SUDANTRIBUNE] Brutal festivities between Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese forces and rebels in El Fasher, North Darfur, have left at least 27 civilians dead and 130 injured, the UN’s humanitarian office (OCHA) reported Sunday.

Airstrikes and heavy weapons pounded the city from May 10th morning to 6:30 pm, marking a dramatic escalation in the ongoing conflict.

The violence erupted like lava from a volcano mid-morning in eastern El Fasher, quickly engulfing the town centre, main market, and neighbourhoods. Hundreds of civilians, estimated at 850 people (170 families), fled their homes, seeking refuge in the south. The International Organization for Migration (IOM) reported widespread displacement.

El Fasher South Hospital, the city’s primary medical facility, is overwhelmed with maimed. The 100-bed hospital struggles to cope due to a lack of ambulances, supplies, and medicine. Despite the ceasefire, residents fear renewed fighting.

This latest violence adds to a devastating pattern. Over 40,600 people were displaced in El Fasher locality between April 1st and 18th due to tribal festivities and fighting between government forces and rebels. Humanitarian access to El Fasher is severely restricted, hindering aid delivery.

Sudanese army bombs Republican Palace in Khartoum
[SUDANTRIBUNE] The historic Republican Palace overlooking the Blue Nile in Khartoum was targeted by artillery strikes this Sunday, marking the first such attack in several months.

The palace, controlled by the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) since the war began in April 2023, came under renewed artillery shelling. Social media platforms circulated video clips showing parts of the palace ablaze, with flames visible in one of its courtyards and facades.

Sources within the RSF report that the army conducted random bombings on the Republican Palace in retaliation for intensified battles against them in the Signal Corps area in Khartoum North.

Local sources informed Al Jazeera TV that the Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese army deployed heavy artillery to target RSF positions in both Khartoum and Khartoum North.

The ongoing conflict, now lasting over a year between the army and the RSF, has repeatedly exposed the Republican Palace to both artillery and aerial bombardments.

Sunday’s attacks have severely damaged the historic structure, established originally during Ottoman Turkish rule in 1826. The new palace, adjacent to the older structure, has also suffered considerable damage.

Construction of the new Republican Palace commenced next to the original building in March 2011 and was inaugurated by then-President Omer al-Bashir on January 26, 2015.

Sudanese army downs drones targeting airport in Gedaref
[SUDANTRIBUNE] On Sunday, Sudan
...a Moslem country located in the Horn of Africa. It is noted for its affinity for rule by ex- or current generals, its holy men, and for the oppression of the native Afro population by its Arab conquerors. South Sudan, populated mostly by the natives, split off from Sudan proper, which left North and South Darfur to be oppressed by the guys with turbans...
ese army ground defences shot down two drones attempting to target an airport in the al-Fashaga area, east of Gedaref.

Over the past three days, the air defences have dealt with unidentified objects flying over Gedaref without downing them. Military sources suspect these were reconnaissance drones.

Military sources told Sudan Tribune that "two drones approached from the west of Gedaref city and were spotted near Wad Zayed Airport in the al-Shawak area. The ground defences of the 2nd Infantry Division engaged them, successfully downing the drones before they could reach their targets."

Wad Zayed Airport, located 35 kilometres east of Gedaref, was constructed alongside the Atbara and Setit Dam project to serve civilian travellers and host a military base.

This incident marks the second of its kind in Gedaref State, which has remained secure since the military festivities began between the Sudanese army and the Rapid Support Forces (RSF) on April 15, 2023. The state currently shelters over 400,000 displaced people who fled from Khartoum and Al Jazirah states.

On April 9, the army also downed two drones attempting to target military sites in the eastern state of Sudan.

Arabia
US downs 3 drones from Houthi area of Yemen ‘to protect freedom of navigation’
[IsraelTimes] US Central Command (CENTCOM) says it has destroyed three drones launched from a Iran's Houthi sock puppets
...a Zaidi Shia insurgent group operating in Yemen. They have also been referred to as the Believing Youth. Hussein Badreddin al-Houthi is said to be the spiritual leader of the group and most of the military leaders are his relatives. The legitimate Yemeni government has accused the them of having ties to the Iranian government. Honest they did. The group has managed to gain control over all of Saada Governorate and parts of Amran, Al Jawf and Hajjah Governorates. Its slogan is God is Great, Death to America™, Death to Israel, a curse on the Jews They like shooting off... ummm... missiles that they would have us believe they make at home in their basements. On the plus side, they did murder Ali Abdullah Saleh, which was the only way the country was ever going to be rid of him...

into the Red Sea.

"It was determined that these UAS [uncrewed aerial systems] presented an imminent threat to both coalition forces and merchant vessels in the region," CENTCOM says in a statement.

"These actions are taken to protect freedom of navigation and make international waters safer and more secure for US, coalition, and merchant vessels."

CENTCOM also reports that a drone was launched from a Houthi controlled area of Yemen into the Gulf of Aden yesterday, with no injuries or damage reported by American, coalition, or commercial ship.

Britain
UK revokes visa of Palestinian student who participated in pro-Gaza protest
[NEWARAB] The UK government this week has revoked the student visa of a Paleostinian student following her participation in a peaceful pro-Paleostine demonstration at the University of Manchester.

Dana Abuqamar, who leads the Friends of Paleostine Society at her university, said the UK government rescinded her visa citing "national security" and labelled her a public safety risk.

"The claim they are making is baseless and violates my rights as a resident here in the UK. My legal team has lodged a human rights
...not to be confused with individual rights, mind you...
appeal against this decision to revoke my student visa in my last and final year as a law student," Abuqamar told Al Jazeera on Friday.

In October last year, 15 members of the 19-year-old law student’s family were killed during Israel’s war on Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
"During this genocide, the UK Home Office decided to revoke my student visa following public statements supporting the Paleostinian right to exercise under international law to resist oppression and break through the siege that was illegally placed on Gaza for over 16 years," Abuqamar said.

Her visa revocation raises serious questions about the UK’s impartiality and commitment to freedom of speech, with her arguing that none of her behaviour conceivably poses a threat to public order.

"Freedom of expression is a fundamental human right, but it seems to not apply to ethnic minorities, particularly Moslems and Paleostinians like myself," she said to Al Jazeera.

Fifth Column
About 30 students stage walkout at Duke commencement over Seinfeld speech
It looks like not many agree with the vicious idiots who’ve been causing so much trouble.
[IsraelTimes] Jewish comedian, who visited Israel in solidarity following October 7, receives honorary degree at graduation event attended by some 7,000 people

Some 30 students walked out of Duke University’s commencement ceremony on Sunday while some chanted "Free Paleostine" to protest its guest speaker, comedian Jerry Seinfeld, for supporting Israel throughout the war in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
, according to videos of the event posted on social media.

Other graduates shouted "Jerry! Jerry!" as the Jewish actor received an honorary degree, and Seinfeld delivered his speech to an audience of around 7,000 people without major interruptions.

Seinfeld opened his speech by joking that his invitation to speak at the ceremony brought the prestigious "Duke experience down a couple of notches."

Amidst a joke-filled speech, Seinfeld gave the graduates his three bits of advice for life: "Bust your ass, pay attention, and fall in love."

He then encouraged the students to use their privilege well.

"I grew up a Jewish boy from New York. That is a privilege if you want to be a comedian," he quipped.

He also seemingly referred to the protests on US college campuses when mentioning the Harvard-educated writing staff on his ’90s show, "Seinfeld."

"I’m not talking about Harvard now, I’m talking about the way it used to be," he said. "You’re never going to believe this, but Harvard used to be a great place to go to school. Now it’s Duke."

Seinfeld visited Israel and has vocally supported it since October 7 when terrorist group Hamas
..one of the armed feet of the Moslem Brüderbund millipede,...
invaded the country with thousands of terrorists, killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and kidnapped 252 others.

The walkout was the latest manifestation of protests that have roiled US campuses, as students call for universities to divest from arms suppliers and other companies profiting from the war, and amnesty for students and faculty members who have been disciplined or fired for protesting.

At the end of April, students in some universities took over and occupied buildings on campus and were eventually cleared out by police.

Some universities, like Columbia, where the first encampment was set up last month, canceled their main commencement events because of the protests. The New York university held smaller school-based graduation events instead.

While pro-Paleostinian protests were held at Duke over the last seven months, no encampment was erected on campus.

Johns Hopkins protesters pack up, but graduation demonstrations persist elsewhere

[IsraelTimes] Pro-Paleostinian protests at Johns Hopkins University in Baltimore have dismantled a tent encampment, joining other demonstrators in decamping the campsites as campuses empty out for summer break. In a statement Sunday, the Hopkins Justice Collective said it had agreed to take down the protest enclosure as part of a deal in which the school agreed to expedite hearings over the possibility of divestment from Israel, and to grant all protesters amnesty.

Up the seaboard in Boston, Emerson College’s graduation Sunday night was beset with repeated pro-Paleostinian protests, including chants that interrupted several speakers’ addresses, video shows. Some displayed messages for a camera situated on stage, but the livestream quickly shifted to a different view, preventing them from being seen for long. Chants during some of the speeches were difficult to decipher.

Great White North
Canadian police arrest fourth Indian man for murder of Sikh leader Nijjar
[GEO.TV] A fourth person has been arrested and charged with the murder of Sikh separatist leader Hardeep Singh Nijjar
…erstwhile head of the Khalistan Tiger Force (KTF) in Canada, one of several Sikh groups who seek to carve out an independent homeland for the Sikhs in Indian Punjab, because they respect the borders of their Pakistani trainers and paymasters too much to aim for doing the same in their actual historic homeland in the Pakistani Punjab. While they wait, they amuse themselves with criminality and terrorism, according to the Indian authorities, who had long been trying to persuade Canada to extradite Mr. Nijjar. He acquired Canadian citizenship despite arriving there under false pretenses and a false identity. India claims he died last summer of Sikh inter-gang activities ....
last year, Canadian police said on Saturday, in a case that strained diplomatic relations with India.

Canadian police earlier this month arrested and charged three Indian men in the city of Edmonton in Alberta and said they were probing whether the men had ties to the Indian government.

The Integrated Homicide Investigation Team (IHIT) announced Saturday that Amandeep Singh, 22, has been charged with first-degree murder and conspiracy to commit murder in Nijjar's killing.

Singh, an Indian national who resided in Brampton, Surrey and Abbotsford, was already in jug for unrelated firearms charges out of Peel, Ontario, IHIT said.

Nijjar, 45, was rubbed out in June outside a Sikh temple in Surrey, a Vancouver suburb with a large Sikh population. A few months later, Canadian Prime Minister Justin Trudeau
...hereditary prime minister of the Great White North...
cited what he said was evidence of potential Indian government involvement, prompting a diplomatic crisis with New Delhi.

Nijjar was a Canadian citizen campaigning for the creation of Khalistan, an independent Sikh homeland carved out of India. The presence of Sikh separatist groups in Canada has long frustrated New Delhi, which had labeled Nijjar a "terrorist".

Hamas kills Paleostinians for taking humanitarian aid without their approval.

These Hamas A$$holes, once again prove no lives matters when it comes to them being the supreme authority in charge.

Here they can be seen murdering Paleostinian people. People that included women and their babies. Just for trying to get food, aid and other supplies sent to GAZA by the civilized world.

Gunman from Lion’s Den terror group said killed in IDF raid near Nablus in West Bank
[IsraelTimes] A Paleostinian gunman was reportedly killed by Israeli troops during a raid in the West Bank’s Balata camp, near Nablus overnight.

He is named by Paleostinian media as Samer Rummaneh, a member of the Lion’s Den terror group.

The IDF says troops returned fire at button men amid a counter-terrorism raid in Balata.

Private ambulance driver caught trying to smuggle 8 Palestinians from West Bank into Israel
[IsraelTimes] A private ambulance driver was caught last night trying to smuggle eight Paleostinians without permits into Israel.

The private ambulance was stopped at the Ofer checkpoint between the West Bank and Israel. The driver and Paleostinians were arrested and the ambulance seized and taken to a Border Police base.

Health Minister Uriel Buso condemns the event, emphasizing that ambulances are to be reserved for transporting the sick and injured. "Any other use amounts to endangering public health," he says.

Buso demands that the licenses of the ambulance driver and ambulance company be revoked and that law enforcement agencies carry out legal proceedings against them so that such an occurrence does not recur.

Nice thought, but naive. Using an ambulance for this purpose is an obscenity. Only the death of all involved will ensure that 'the occurrence does not recur'. At least with them.

Senior officer moderately hurt in Gaza City amid renewed fighting in Strip’s north
[IsraelTimes] Rockets fired at Ashkelon, injuring 3; military presses on in Rafah, battles resurgent Hamas in Zeitoun, Jabaliya; IDF says terror operative who guarded Noa Marciano killed in airstrike

A senior Israeli officer was maimed fighting in Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage. It is currently ruled with an iron fist by Hamas with about the living conditions you'd expect. It periodically attacks the Hated Zionist Entity whenever Iran needs a ruckus created or the hard boyz get bored, getting thumped by the IDF in return. The ruling turbans then wave the bloody shirt and holler loudly about oppression and disproportionate response...
on Friday, the military announced Sunday, as battles raged across the Strip amid army operations in Rafah in Gaza’s south, and Zeitoun and Jabaliya in in its north.

Brig. Gen. Yogev Bar Sheshet, the Defense Ministry’s deputy comptroller for the defense establishment, was moderately maimed by shrapnel from gunfire in Gaza City, according to the Israel Defense Forces. The top officer was with the Nahal Infantry Brigade chief’s forward command team in the Zeitoun neighborhood of Gaza City when he was hurt. He is the most senior IDF officer to be maimed in fighting in the Strip amid the war. Five Nahal soldiers were killed fighting Hamas
..not a terrorist organization, even though it kidnaps people, holds hostages, and tries to negotiate by executing them,...
in Zeitoun on Friday.

The IDF has returned several times to the Zeitoun neighborhood since the war’s outbreak, as Hamas has repeatedly managed to regroup in areas previously cleared by the army.

Also on Sunday, the IDF said that a senior Hamas operative in the terror group’s Shati Battalion was killed in an Arclight airstrike
...KABOOM!...
in Gaza on Friday. Naim Ghoul, according to the IDF and Shin Bet, was involved in rocket fire at Israel, and was among those responsible for guarding hostage Cpl. Noa Marciano in the Gaza Strip. Marciano, who was kidnapped on October 7, was later killed by Hamas at Shifa Hospital. Her body was recovered by the IDF in November. In February, the IDF had said it killed Ahmed Ghoul, another Shati Battalion commander who was involved in guarding Marciano.

On Sunday, the IDF said several button men were killed in close-quarters combat and by airstrikes in Zeitoun. Strikes were also carried out against Hamas infrastructure, it added.

Sunday also saw rocket fire from the Gaza Strip at southern Israel. At around 1 a.m., a rocket fired at the southern city of Ashkelon directly struck a home, lightly wounding three people, authorities said.

Sirens again sounded in Ashkelon on Sunday afternoon, with no reports of damage or injuries.

Several rockets were also launched at the border city of Sderot, with some of the projectiles being intercepted and others hitting open areas, the IDF said.

The military said another two rockets fired from Rafah in southern Gaza at the Kerem Shalom area on the border were intercepted by the Iron Dome air defense system.

The key Kerem Shalom Crossing with the southern Gaza Strip, used for humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza, was reopened last week after having been shuttered days earlier following a deadly Hamas rocket attack.

Meanwhile,

overnight, the IDF launched an operation against Hamas in northern Gaza’s Jabaliya, after it said Hamas was identified regrouping in the area.

Ahead of the entry of the 98th Division into Jabaliya, fighter jets and other aircraft struck some 30 Hamas targets, killing several operatives, the military said Sunday morning. The IDF said it had "intelligence information about the presence of gunnies and the restoration of terror infrastructure of the Hamas terror group in the area."

An evacuation order was given for the Jabaliya area on Saturday, where the IDF estimated there were between 100,000 and 150,000 Paleostinians.

According to a Channel 13 report Saturday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi noted the need for troops to return to Jabaliya when he criticized Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during security consultations over the weekend for failing to develop and declare a postwar strategy.

"We are now operating once again in Jabaliya. As long as there’s no diplomatic process to develop a governing body in the Strip that isn’t Hamas, we’ll have to launch campaigns again and again in other places to dismantle Hamas’s infrastructure," Halevi was quoted by Channel 13 as saying. "It will be a Sisyphean task."

Netanyahu and his government have long faced criticism over their refusal to make a plan for the management of Gaza after the war. The international community has pushed for the West Bank’s Paleostinian Authority to take control, but Netanyahu says he will not allow a governing body that supports terror through education and financing to rule the enclave.

Operations in the northern Gaza Strip came as the IDF pressed ahead with a controversial offensive in the southern city of Rafah. The IDF said troops of the 162nd Division discovered and destroyed several tunnel shafts and rocket launchers primed for attacks on Israel in Rafah, including in the area of the Paleostinian side of the Rafah Crossing with Egypt. Some 10 Hamas button men spotted by troops in the area were killed in an airstrike, the military said.

Israel ordered new evacuations in Rafah, instructing tens of thousands more people to move as it prepares to expand its military operation closer to the heavily populated central area, in defiance of growing pressure from close ally the United States and others.

It ordered civilians out of the eastern outskirts of Rafah last week. In the initial evacuation zone and other areas of Rafah, around 300,000 Paleostinians evacuated to a designated "humanitarian zone," according to IDF assessments.

Around a million more Paleostinians, who fled other parts of Gaza during the war, remain in the city itself, and they have not been called to evacuate yet. The operation remains limited in scope amid negotiations via mediators to secure the release of hostages who were kidnapped from Israel during the Hamas October 7 assault.

Israel says that it has made plans to evacuate civilians from areas of combat, and that it must tackle Hamas’s remaining battalions in Rafah to fully defeat the group in the enclave.

Over the past day, airstrikes were carried out against more than 150 targets across Gaza, according to the military. The targets included rocket launchers, cells of button men, weapon depots, observation posts, tunnels, and other infrastructure, the IDF said Sunday.

The war in Gaza erupted after Hamas’s October 7 attacks, which saw some 3,000 gunnies burst across the border into Israel by land, air and sea, killing some 1,200 people and seizing 252 hostages amid acts of brutality and sexual assault.

The ensuing war has killed over 35,000 Paleostinians, according to Gaza health officials, though data issued by the Hamas-run authorities cannot be independently verified, and is believed to include both civilians and Hamas members killed in Gaza, including as a consequence of terror groups’ own rocket misfires.

Israel has said it has killed some 15,000 terror operatives in Gaza, in addition to some 1,000 gunnies inside Israel on October 7, while 272 soldiers have been killed during the ground offensive against Hamas and amid operations along the Gaza border.

Al-Qassam Brigades announces death of British-Zionist captive in Gaza due to Israeli Strikes
This might be more about yesterday’s report about the video Hamas just released of Nadav Popplewell.

Abu Obeida added that the prisoner, "Nadav Bublabil," deteriorated in health and died because he did not receive medical care due to the destruction of hospitals in Gazoo

despite claiming otherwise, according to a report on Saturday.

Sinwar has been top of Israel's hit list and the military has said that its Rafah incursion was aiming to target Sinwar and other key players in Hamas's leadership, who have so far largely dodged Israeli attacks.

Israeli officials told The Times of Israel that they do not know Sinwar's exact current location but believe the leader could be in underground tunnels in the southern Khan Younis area.

The leader of Hamas in Gaza is said to have orchestrated the surprise October 7 attack into southern Israel, which killed 1,139 Israelis and saw the group take around 250 people captive.

The attack prompted Israel's brutal invasion of Gaza, now in its eighth month, which has killed over 35,000 Paleostinians, decimated the enclave and triggered a major humanitarian crisis.

The Israeli government has said that targeting Hamas’s leader is one of its key objectives in the war but has so far failed to make many significant hits.

The army has made claims that it is confident in the whereabouts of the Paleostinian group's leadership and has used it to justify repeated attacks on dense civilian areas.

Family members of the hostages, carrying pictures of their loved ones still in captivity, joined the crowds that demonstrated in Tel Aviv.

One of them was Naama Weinberg, whose cousin Itai Svirsky was kidnapped during Hamas' Oct. 7 assault on Israeli towns and, according to Israeli authorities, was killed in captivity. In a speech she referenced a video Hamas made public on Saturday, claiming that another of the Israeli captives had died.

"Soon, even those who managed to survive this long will no longer be among the living. They must be saved now," Weinberg said.

Israeli military says it opened a new aid crossing into Gaza
[GEOTV] The Israeli military said on Sunday it opened a new humanitarian aid crossing into the Gaza Strip in coordination with the United States.

The crossing, called Western Erez, was opened in the northern Gaza Strip in order to transfer humanitarian aid, the military said in a statement.
The Times of Israel adds:
Israel on Sunday announced the opening of a new crossing into the northern Gazoo
...Hellhole adjunct to Israel and Egypt's Sinai Peninsula, inhabited by Gazooks. The place was acquired in the wake of the 1967 War and then presented to Paleostinian control in 2006 by Ariel Sharon, who had entered his dotage.

Strip for humanitarian aid deliveries, the third crossing enabling the passage of aid to the Strip’s north.

The so-called Western Erez Crossing is located in the Zikim area, on the coast abutting the Strip’s northern border, the Israeli military and the Defense Ministry’s Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said.

Built by IDF engineering units along with the Defense Ministry’s engineering department and Crossings Authority, the crossing was opened "as part of the effort to increase aid routes to the Gaza Strip, and to the northern Gaza Strip in particular," the military said.

The army said dozens of trucks ferrying flour from the United Nations
...an organization which on balance has done more bad than good, with the good not done well and the bad done thoroughly...
’ World Food Program had been delivered from Ashdod Port to the Gaza Strip through the new crossing after "undergoing security checks."

Currently, three crossings are actively being used to transfer humanitarian aid from Israel to Paleostinians in the northern Gaza Strip: Western Erez, opened on Sunday; Eastern Erez, opened earlier this month adjacent to the existing Erez Crossing; and Gate 96, the military’s entrance to central Gaza’s Netzarim Corridor, used for the first time for aid deliveries in March.

In southern Gaza, the Kerem Shalom Crossing is being used for humanitarian aid deliveries, while the Nitzana Crossing with Egypt is being used to inspect some of the trucks.

The Rafah Crossing between Egypt and Gaza, the Strip’s main entrance for humanitarian aid since the war began, is currently closed during the IDF operations in the area, making additional openings into Gaza critical, especially in the event of a full-scale offensive on Rafah, which Israel says is essential for dismantling Hamas
..the braying voice of Islamic Resistance®,...
Besides land crossings, humanitarian aid is also being delivered via airdrops, and the United States is due to begin deliveries via a floating pier off the coast of central Gaza soon.

Activists from the right-wing Tzav 9 movement, who have attempted to block aid from entering Gaza on several occasions, critical of the transfer of supplies while hostages remain in Hamas captivity, panned the opening of the new border crossing, calling its announcement on the eve of Memorial Day a "shameful" act.
