Israel troops attack West Bank mosques during Ramadan Friday prayer

The Israeli army sets fire to Al-Nasr Mosque in Nablus and prevents firefighters from extinguishing the blaze, one of a series of attacks on religious sites in the occupied West Bank during Ramadan.
It’s been six days since all aid supplies were blocked from entering war-battered Gaza by the Israeli military as fears grow over rising hunger and no drinking water.Two Palestinian cvilians killed in Israeli drone strike: Report
The two were killed and others were injured after Israeli drones targeted a group of people in the Shujayea neighbourhood of Gaza City in the northern Strip, Wafa reports.

According to the Palestinian news agency’s correspondent, the civilians were targeted near Al-Mu’tasim Mosque on Mansoura Street, in the east of the neighbourhood.

Although a ceasefire agreement came into effect on January 19 after more than 15 months of war, Israel has frequently carried out attacks that claim the lives of civilians, Wafa said.

As we reported earlier, the Israeli army said that its air force carried out a strike in the northern Gaza Strip earlier today, claiming it targeted suspects planting a bomb near Israeli troops, but at this time it is unclear whether the two incidents are related.

Israeli media is reporting that this strike was carried out with drones, though the Israeli army did not specify the means of attack.Palestinian teenagers wounded by Israeli forces in Ramallah: Report
Two Palestinian teenagers have been wounded by Israeli army gunfire in Ni’lin, west of the occupied West Bank city of Ramallah, according to Palestinian news agency Wafa.

The gun-toting soldiers fired live ammunition and tear gas canisters, hitting the two, aged 16 and 17, and causing others to suffer from tear gas inhalation, the agency said.

The teenagers were rushed to a nearby emergency center for treatment, Wafa reported.‘Trump’s words are a direct endorsement of genocide’“To the People of Gaza: A beautiful Future awaits, but not if you hold Hostages. If you do, you are DEAD! Make a SMART decision. RELEASE THE HOSTAGES NOW OR THERE WILL BE HELL TO PAY LATER!”

These were not the words of some far-right provocateur lurking in a dark corner of the internet. They were not shouted by an unhinged warlord seeking vengeance.

No, these were the words of the president of the United States, Donald Trump, the most powerful man in the world. A man who with a signature, a speech or a single phrase can shape the fate of entire nations. And yet, with all this power, all this influence, his words to the people of Gaza were not of peace, not of diplomacy, not of relief – but of death.

This is not just absurd. It is evil.

Trump’s words are criminal. They are a direct endorsement of genocide. The people of Gaza are not responsible for what is happening. They are not holding hostages. They are the hostages – trapped by an Israeli war machine that has stolen everything from them. Hostages to a brutal siege that has starved them, bombed them, displaced them, left them with nowhere to go.
