The passengers emphasized they are‌ unafraid⁣ of Israeli authorities. Earlier,European Parliament members issued an open letter urging international guarantees for the safe passage of Madelin,which carries humanitarian ‍aid and activists to besieged Gaza.

Israel has stated it will not permit Madelin-which departed Italy toward Gaza-to approach the coastal enclave. Among its 12 passengers are Swedish ‌environmental activist Greta⁣ Thunberg‌ and irish actor Liam Cunningham.

This follows Israel’s drone attack on another vessel, “Al-Zamir,” which attempted to break the‍ Gaza blockade earlier.

the Wall Street ⁣Journal, citing an unnamed source, reported ⁤that⁤ the Israeli regime is deploying female soldiers to frontlines to compensate for its military personnel deficit, according ⁣to webangah News‍ Agency.

The report indicates that women’s participation in the Israeli military stood at 14% before the war but has now risen to​ 21%.

Yesterday, ⁢a spokesperson for the Israeli⁤ military confirmed the army‌ faces a shortage of 10,000 troops. The official added that Tel Aviv continues grappling⁣ with‍ this crisis amid ‌its ongoing war ⁢against⁢ Gaza.

According‌ to webangah News Agency, Palestinian hospital sources reported at least 84 fatalities in Israeli attacks across Gaza over the past 24 hours. The ‍Zionist regime has intensified its⁣ assaults on the strip, which​ have already⁢ claimed tens of thousands of lives and left hundreds wounded.

The Palestinian Health Ministry in Gaza stated that 54,772 people have been killed in Israeli military attacks as October 7,2023. The ministry added ‌that the ​total number of injured has ⁢reached 125,834 as the war ​began.

In a new ⁣wave of attacks starting March 18,⁢ 2025, an additional 4,497 Palestinians were killed and 13,793 injured.

According to webangah News Agency, Israel’s economic outlet marker reported that the aviation sector of the Zionist regime remains in crisis, with conditions yet to‍ normalize ⁣despite limited flight resumptions.

The report states several major airlines-including EasyJet, Iberia, Ryanair, ⁢British Airways, ⁣Air​ Canada, and ITA-continue avoiding Ben Gurion Airport. ​Their return remains delayed,with potential for further extensions of this suspension.

Israeli ⁢aviation officials told‌ Marker that Ryanair won’t resume Israel flights before August. Current seat capacity reportedly fails to meet⁤ high‌ demand.

Officials emphasized ongoing missile attacks by Yemen’s Ansarullah forces as a primary cause of flight instability.

Ticket prices remain exceptionally high ​due to supply shortages amid peak summer travel demand.

Marker criticized the Zionist regime’s Transportation Ministry for ‍ineffective crisis management, stating it lacks strategic planning and relies solely on temporary reactions.

According to webangah ​News Agency, unidentified gunmen attacked a syrian ‌Democratic Forces (SDF) checkpoint in the town of Al-Sabha, located in eastern Deir ⁣ez-Zor province, eastern Syria. The assailants​ reportedly used automatic weapons during the assault.

No further details regarding casualties or material damage have been released, and⁢ no group has yet claimed responsibility for the attack.

The region has witnessed escalating tensions and sporadic clashes between local forces and the SDF in recent months.

According to webangah ‍News Agency, Jean-yves Le Drian, France’s⁤ former foreign⁣ minister and current presidential envoy to Lebanon,⁣ strongly condemned⁣ Israel’s policies toward Gaza in an interview with ⁣Radio⁤ France Inter, calling them​ a “humanitarian⁤ catastrophe.”

Le Drian ‌stated: “We’ve crossed unacceptable boundaries.Using‍ starvation and siege as military tools ⁢is⁤ a profound tragedy.”

He ⁢added: “Currently, israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu only permits limited humanitarian‌ aid‌ into Gaza-exclusively through the U.S.-and-Israel-backed Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)-after two months of ‌total blockade on ​the territory.”

“Netanyahu has pushed Israel to the brink with these policies,” Le Drian warned.

The diplomat asserted that “Israel today suffers⁣ moral​ collapse,” cautioning that ‍continued Netanyahu policies could render the regime “globally despised.” He described this trajectory as “deeply tragic.”

Le⁢ Drian⁣ also protested accusations against critics of Israel:‌ “Whenever Netanyahu’s government faces criticism, we’re instantly labeled antisemitic. This conflation‍ must stop-it’s ⁤utterly condemnable.”

“When⁢ france’s‍ president demands humanitarian access to Gaza, they accuse him of Hamas collaboration. These allegations​ have become intolerable,” he⁣ added.

The former minister concluded that only Israeli citizens can halt ⁣this perilous course through direct⁢ action-failure to do so would lead their nation toward disaster.

webangah News ‌Agency reports that European Parliament representatives have called on the international community to ensure safe passage for the “Madelin” ship ⁣carrying humanitarian aid and human rights activists to blockaded gaza, according to an open letter.

French MEP rima Hassan, who is aboard the vessel, shared ‌a copy of the letter on her X (formerly Twitter) account on Saturday night.

The signatories urged the EU to take⁢ immediate action to guarantee both the ship’s safe transit and unimpeded delivery of humanitarian assistance to‌ Gaza.

This ‍comes as Israeli authorities ⁢have ⁢declared they will not permit the Italy-bound “Madelin” to approach Gaza’s coastal ⁢waters.

israeli media initially ​reported that Israel would allow the ship’s arrival if no ⁣security threats were detected, ⁣but later reversed this decision.

The Madelin carries​ 12 passengers including Swedish environmental activist Greta Thunberg and Irish actor Liam Cunningham.

The incident follows israel’s may 2 drone attack on another aid​ vessel named “Al-Zamir,” which attempted to ⁣break ⁣through Gaza’s blockade. The strike caused hull damage and bow fires onboard.

The Palestinian government media office in Gaza accuses Israel of deliberately starving ⁤gazans through ‍a⁢ systematic policy aimed at ⁢forced displacement, noting all border crossings have remained ‍closed to humanitarian aid – particularly ‌food supplies – since March 2.

meanwhile, Israel continues its genocidal ⁣military campaign in Gaza with full U.S. backing since October ‍7,2023.The offensive has killed or wounded over 180,000 Palestinians – predominantly women and children ​- while leaving more than 11,000 missing ⁣and hundreds of thousands displaced.
