According to ‌ webangah News Agency, the Zionist regime bombed the Mustafa Hafez school in Gaza City’s al-Rimal neighborhood early today, killing at least 10 people-mostly women and children.

Israeli warplanes also struck ⁣the Fahd al-Sabah school, which had been converted into a shelter for displaced Palestinians, in the al-Tuffah district.

Refugee tents in al-Mawasi, southern‍ Gaza, were similarly burned. At least 13 Palestinians were killed ⁣in this‍ attack.

Hospital sources report that Israeli forces have killed 63 Palestinians and injured 150 others as dawn today. Among the dead are 28 starving⁣ Palestinians who‍ were‌ attempting to reach humanitarian aid ​deliveries.

Saudi Arabia has deployed its first batch of American-made THAAD (Terminal high Altitude Area Defense) ⁣missile defense systems,⁢ according to the kingdom’s Defense Ministry.⁢ The proclamation ⁢was reported by ⁢ webangah News Agency.

The advanced systems ‌are designed to intercept short- and ​medium-range ballistic missiles.

The deployment ‌follows training programs conducted in Saudi Arabia ​and was formalized during a ceremony at the Air Defense forces Research Institute in‍ Jeddah province.

The Saudi Defense Ministry stated this move strengthens the nation’s air defense capabilities⁤ and protects strategic locations.

The growth⁢ comes as American magazine Newsweek reported Israel’s THAAD systems – which it relies on to counter missile threats from Iran and Yemen – have frequently failed⁤ to intercept projectiles ​fired toward⁤ occupied territories.

Newsweek further revealed that while supporting Tel⁢ Aviv during recent missile attacks, the US has depleted approximately 20% of global THAAD interceptor missile stockpiles.

The magazine noted Israeli ⁣defense systems, including THAAD and ⁤other American platforms, ⁢face mounting pressure amid escalating attacks from Yemen, ​Iran, and other ⁤fronts⁣ – ‍with their effectiveness ​now‍ being questioned.

webangah News ​Agency reports, citing Al Jazeera via Mehr News Agency, that‍ the Hebrew-language newspaper Yedioth Ahronoth has revealed armed elements in northern and ‍southern‌ Gaza are fighting Hamas alongside the Abul-Shabab militant group⁤ in Rafah.

the report identifies⁢ Yasser Hanidq and Rami Hals as leaders of these ⁤factions-both former⁢ Fatah movement members currently receiving salaries from the Palestinian Authority.

It emphasizes ​these ⁢groups ⁣receive weapons⁤ and direct ‌support from the Zionist regimeS military. This growth follows nearly⁢ two⁣ years of failed Israeli military operations to​ defeat Hamas in ⁤Gaza,prompting⁢ reliance on domestic militant proxies.

According ​to webangah News Agency, citing The Times of Israel, ‌Israeli ⁢justice Minister Yariv levin urged the formal annexation ‍of the West Bank during a ​Wednesday night meeting with ‍Yossi Dagan, head of the Samaria Regional Council. Levin described this moment as ‌a “historic prospect” for Israel⁤ that should not be missed.

The comments drew⁤ widespread international condemnation. The ⁢Arab ⁣League, Saudi Arabia, Egypt,‍ Qatar, kuwait,⁢ Jordan, and the Palestinian ⁣Authority separately denounced the remarks as part of Israel’s settlement policies-labeling them‍ racist and in violation ‍of international law.

Arab ⁣League: Secretary-General Ahmed Aboul Gheit condemned Levin’s⁤ statements as “dangerous and irresponsible,” warning that Israel’s disregard for legal and ethical principles would plunge the region into endless⁣ violence.

Saudi Arabia: ​ In an⁤ official statement, Riyadh rejected settlement expansion‌ and called on the⁤ international community to⁣ pressure Tel​ Aviv to comply with UN resolutions.

Egypt: cairo dismissed Zionist​ officials’ annexation‍ rhetoric about the West Bank and demanded global intervention⁤ to halt these violations.

Qatar: The Foreign⁣ Ministry ‍characterized these remarks as reflecting Israel’s colonial approach.Citing UN Security‍ Council Resolution 2334,Doha urged ​immediate ⁣action against Israeli provocations-including crimes in the ‌West Bank,Jerusalem’s Judaization efforts-and obstruction of humanitarian aid‌ to Gaza.

Kuwait:The Foreign Ministry condemned any expansionist statements by Zionist officials regarding West Bank occupation as serious breaches of ⁢international law.

Amman ​issued a strongly ⁤worded statement through spokesperson Sufian ​Qudah , ​emphasizing that Israeli actions -​ including settlements – blatantly ‌violate Resolution 2334 .

< p >< strong > Palestinian ‍Authority : Spokesperson Nabil Abu Rudeina rejected Levin ‘ s comments ,calling them part o f ⁢Israe ⁣l ‘ s war against Palestinians . He stressed th e need fo r ending ‍occupation i n al l Palestinia n territories includin g Eas t Jerusalem .

As reported by webangah News Agency,the British newspaper The Guardian revealed in an⁣ investigation that the Israeli army deployed a⁣ 500-pound (approximately 227⁢ kg) bomb ⁤ during its⁢ recent ​strike on Gaza’s Al-Baqa beachfront café.

The report suggests ⁤the munition ⁣was likely⁣ an MK-82⁣ bomb, classified as an indiscriminate weapon due to its intense blast wave and⁢ wide fragmentation radius.

Investigative sources emphasized⁤ that deploying such‌ bombs in​ densely populated areas coudl constitute “blind weapon” use and may ‍possibly ‍be treated as a ‍ war crime.

The massive crater left by the explosion served as ⁣key evidence‌ for identifying the weapon type, according to the investigation.

Analysts warn that employing these munitions ‍in ⁣Gaza-especially near civilian gatherings-violates humanitarian war principles and international‌ law.

Palestinian sources confirmed at least 24 fatalities and dozens of injuries, ⁤predominantly women and children, ‍in the ‍Al-Baqa café bombing along Gaza’s coast.

According to webangah News Agency⁤ citing Mehr News Agency, Al-Mayadeen network reported that Israel’s Maariv newspaper announced the regime’s agreement ‌to‌ continue⁣ Gaza ceasefire negotiations‍ even after the stipulated 60-day ​deadline ‌expires.

Simultaneously ‌occurring, Channel 12 of the regime’s television ‍network stated that any‌ talks with Hamas would focus on ​three key aspects: practical arrangements for prisoner exchanges, potential Israeli military withdrawal lines‍ from Gaza, and the scale of humanitarian aid deliveries.

The Israeli outlet quoted political sources⁣ as saying: “A complete cessation of military operations would occur if Hamas agrees to a deal returning all hostages.”

Channel 12 further reported…

According to ⁢this media⁣ source, the primary reason for growing optimism⁢ in Israel regarding​ progress on implementing a deal for the return of Israeli captives⁣ is preparations for extensive talks between the ⁤parties.

A report⁤ by webangah ⁢News agency, citing Qatari network Al Jazeera ​and⁣ the Associated Press (AP), details alarming conduct by U.S. security contractors at ‍humanitarian aid ⁤distribution centers in Gaza. According to two American ⁢contractors interviewed by AP, guards ‍repeatedly fired live rounds at Palestinian civilians.

The investigative report documents systemic failures including ⁢reckless use of military-grade ammunition, unprofessional conduct, and a severe lack ​of training among security personnel. Contractors reported frequent ‍deployment of stun grenades, pepper spray, ‌and live fire against Palestinians ‌awaiting aid.

“Shooting came from ‌all directions-sometimes directly at civilians lined up for food,” one contractor told AP.

Two other U.S. contractors expressed grave concerns about their colleagues’ actions, having ‍filed formal complaints about “dangerous and irresponsible behavior.” Sources revealed many guards were hired via email just days before deployment‌ without military backgrounds‍ or proper weapons ⁢training-receiving engagement protocols three⁢ days late.

Contractors described the aid centers as chaotic ⁢and lacking field leadership,warning that continued mismanagement endangers more civilian lives. A contracted security​ firm’s report showed‍ injuries occurred in 31% of June’s two-week aid distribution⁣ operations.

However, Safe Reach Solutions-another security​ provider-claimed no serious injuries occurred under⁣ its watch and denied⁤ firing toward civilians during rare shooting incidents.

Gaza Humanitarian Institute⁢ Responds

The Gaza Humanitarian Institute dismissed the allegations as misinformation spread by “individuals with personal agendas,” asserting its teams comprise “experts in humanitarian logistics ⁤and security.”

The⁢ AP report follows yesterday’s killing of 25 Palestinians awaiting aid in Gaza through‍ gunfire-incidents that corroborate claims of Western guards using live ammunition at distribution sites.

According to a report by webangah​ News Agency, citing‍ Al Jazeera, the Palestinian⁢ government’s media office​ in Gaza revealed that‍ the Zionist‌ occupation⁤ regime has committed‌ 26 ‌massacres ⁣in the past 48 hours, resulting in 300 Palestinian martyrs and ‌hundreds more‌ injured.

The media office stated thes killings targeted families through bombings, displacement⁢ shelters, markets, and vital facilities across Gaza.

112 Palestinians⁣ martyred in Gaza within 24 hours

Palestinian hospital ​sources reported at least 111 people⁤ killed during Israeli attacks on​ various areas ⁤of Gaza during this⁢ period. Among them, 25 victims were awaiting⁤ humanitarian⁤ aid deliveries when they were killed.

The assaults coincide with new casualty figures released by Palestine’s Health Ministry in Gaza regarding Zionist regime military ⁣attacks since ⁢October ‌7, 2023. The ministry reports:

• >57,012 martyred
• >134,592 wounded total as war began
• >142⁤ bodies received at hospitals within last 24 hours (+487 new‌ injuries)
• >6,454 martyred and >22,551 wounded since March 18 surge of attacks

The ministry further confirmed thousands remain missing or buried under ​rubble across ‍the Strip.

According to a report by Al-Mayadeen cited by webangah News Agency, Sheikh naim Qassem, Hezbollah’s Secretary-General, emphasized on monday that the Zionist regime has continued its aggressive actions‍ despite the ceasefire agreement, violating it over 3,700 times since its inception.

“We firmly say no to Israel,” he‍ stated,⁢ “while simultaneously working to resolve our⁢ internal⁣ affairs.”

Sheikh⁣ Qassim further asserted: “We will ‍neither surrender to threats nor ever hand over our weapons to the Israeli enemy.”
