Israeli strike on school-turned-shelter in Gaza kills 27, two UN peacekeepers hurt in Lebanon

An Israeli strike on a school sheltering the displaced in the Gaza Strip has killed at least 27 people, Palestinian medical officials say. The Israeli military said its Thursday strike targeted militants hiding among civilians, without providing evidence. Israel has continued to strike at what it says are militant targets across the Palestinian enclave even as attention has shifted to its war against Hezbollah in Lebanon and rising tensions with Iran. The military launched a large-scale air and ground operation against Hamas in northern Gaza earlier this week. In a separate development, the UN peacekeeping force in southern Lebanon said an Israeli tank fired on its headquarters in the town of Naqoura, hitting an observation tower and wounding two peacekeepers, who we...

Israel expands its bombardment in Lebanon as tens of thousands flee

Israel expanded its bombardment in Lebanon on Saturday, hitting Beirut's southern suburbs with a dozen airstrikes and striking a Palestinian refugee camp deep in northern Lebanon for the first time. The attack on the Beddawi camp near the northern city of Tripoli killed an official with Hamas' military wing along with his wife and two young daughters, the Palestinian militant group said in a statement.

Australian billionaire Andrew ‘Twiggy’ Forrest pushes building new aid system for Gaza

Australian billionaire Andrew "Twiggy" Forrest is offering to build a secure gate system on the Israel-Gaza border that he says could allow 10,000 metric tonnes of food aid to be delivered each day to starving Palestinians. Forrest, the founder of the philanthropic Minderoo Foundation, was set to raise the proposal at an emergency summit on Gaza in Jordan, co-hosted by that country, Egypt and the United Nations on Wednesday (AEST), and attended by US Secretary of State Antony Blinken. He's also committed $7.5 million to improve the Jordanian humanitarian land corridor by building storage warehouses to allow more aid to pass to Gaza. "Right now, the Jordanian people are bearing a significant load by leading the single most effective route into Gaza. It is my intention...

Joe Biden says US won’t supply weapons for Israel to attack Rafah, in warning to ally

US President Joe Biden has said he won't supply offensive weapons that Israel could use to launch an all-out assault on Rafah – the last major Hamas stronghold in Gaza – over concern for the well-being of the more than 1 million civilians sheltering there. Biden, in an interview with CNN, said the US was still committed to Israel's defence and would supply Iron Dome rocket interceptors and other defensive arms, but that if Israel goes into Rafah, “we’re not going to supply the weapons and artillery shells used". The US has historically provided enormous amounts of military aid to Israel. That has only accelerated in the aftermath of Hamas’ October 7 attack that killed some 1200 people in Israel and led to about 250 being taken captive by militants. Biden's comme...

Colombia to sever diplomatic ties with Israel over Gaza ‘genocide’

Colombia says it will break diplomatic relations with Israel on Thursday over its actions in Gaza. Colombian President Gustavo Petro made the announcement at a rally in Bogotá's Bolívar Square on Wednesday, describing the Israeli government's handling of the war in Gaza as "genocidal". Israel launched its assault in the Palestinian territory following terror group Hamas' attacks on October 7, which left more than 1,200 people dead and saw more than 250 taken hostage – many of whom remain in captivity today. Now nearing its eight month, Israel's war in the isolated enclave has killed more than 34,000 people, according to the Palestinian health ministry. Israel's foreign minister, Israel Katz, condemned Colombia's announcement and accused Petro of rewarding Hamas,...

Is a Gaza ceasefire deal in sight?

At the Nova festival site in southern Israel, attacked by Hamas gunmen on 7 October, the families and friends of Israeli hostages began a long march to Jerusalem on Wednesday. The festival site, near Kibbutz Re'im, is where hundreds of Israelis were killed and hundreds more dragged away into Gaza. The marchers, carrying pictures of those still missing, are demanding that their government do more to bring the remaining 134 hostages home. Their hopes have been raised by talk of a ceasefire. "One hundred and forty-five endless days and nights of yearning for our loved ones," Ronen Neutra said, addressing the crowd. Ronen's 22-year-old son, Omer, is somewhere in Gaza. "We send them strength, and ask them to hold a little...
