  • Excerpt:

    Abdelwahab carried bodies from the wreckage, half-closing his eyes so the blood and devastation would not slow him down. He kept going even after the civil defence teams arrived.

    “I wore a mask, but I could smell the smoke - and the dead,” he said.

    He saw dead bodies of men, women, elders and toddlers. Among those killed was Nader Khalil, who had worked at Rifai Nuts for 35 years.

    “He was a nice man. I knew him because he bought water from me every day,” Abdelwahab said. “What did he do to deserve this?”

  • Excerpt:

    One resident of Ras Ein al-Auja in the southern Jordan Valley said harassment targeting his family forced him to leave.

    “What pushed me to relocate was the harassment my wife, daughters and daughter-in-law were experiencing. Settlers began approaching the shelters when my son and I left for work,” he said.

    "They were watching the women closely, whistling when women went out of the shelters in broad daylight and throwing stones at us at night. I was terrified that something bad might happen to my family because of this constant settlers’ violence when I was away."

    'All changed with the genocide': Palestinian women and girls face brutal abuse in Israeli jails

  • Excerpt:

    In this context, a former detainee’s testimony is particularly noteworthy. She is a 42-year-old woman from North Gaza, who was arrested in late October 2024 during her forced displacement from Beit Lahia in the northern Gaza Strip. She reported that abuse started at the moment of her arrest, involving deliberate humiliation such as forcibly removing her hijab and leaving her exposed in freezing conditions, while being the only woman among dozens of male detainees.

    The woman recounted that she was later transferred to the Sde Teiman camp, where she was forced at gunpoint to strip completely. Soldiers deliberately uncovered her eyes for brief moments so she could witness two soldiers photographing her naked with their phones, combining humiliation with coerced documentation and the attendant risks of public shaming and blackmail. She added that the abuse peaked on the third day of detention, when four masked soldiers took her to a small room containing a metal table fixed to the floor and equipped with surveillance cameras. There, she was shackled to the table and stripped, while two soldiers took turns violently raping her, and the other two documented the assault on film.

    The rape and sexual violence were repeated. The detainee stated that she was left bound, naked, and bleeding throughout the night, before the soldiers returned the following day and repeated the assault. She confirmed that she was raped four times over two consecutive days, twice on each day, before being left completely naked in the room, still watched and filmed through the door.

    She further testified that the torture later intensified, involving humiliation, coercion, and blackmail. She was moved to another interrogation room, suspended by her hands, and subjected to repeated electric shocks until she lost consciousness, while being shown photos of her rapes and nude images, and threatened with their publication if she did not “cooperate” with Israeli intelligence. This account from the victim suggests that sexual violence was employed as a means to subjugate and break her spirit. Non- consensual recordings were used for blackmail and threats of exposure, aiming to silence her, deter reporting or seeking justice, and create fear both within and outside the detention setting.

    Describing the systematic terror she faced, the victim explained that she used to scream unheard, wished for death rather than remaining bound within their reach, and called her experience “another genocide behind walls.” She mentioned losing track of time in prison, recognising only the number “101,” given by the soldiers instead of her name, symbolising the erasure of identity and the dehumanisation within the detention system.

    Good things like supporting genocidal ethnostates or signing bills to make worker strikes illegal?

  • Photos said to show Beaulieu on the terrace of the property show her in a black suit, white shirt, black tie, black trilby hat and black Wayfarer sunglasses like the characters in the hit 1980 action movie.

    Neighbors along on The Strand regularly saw Doukoullos relaxing on his front porch, overlooking Manhattan Beach and the Pacific Ocean.

    But when he stopped coming out for weeks and the blinds stayed closed, they began to worry. Then they saw a strange man in a suit and fedora coming and going.

    Then his upstairs neighbor smelled a foul odor coming from the unit and a suspicious person was in the unit, and called the landlord.

    'With the assistance of the landlord or the realtor, they granted us access to go inside and they located somebody that was inside that did not match the description of the resident.'

    So she killed him, and stayed in the residence for a week? Why?

  • Ali and Waad Bani Odeh’s four children were showing off the new clothes they had just bought for the upcoming Eid celebrations as their parents drove home from Nablus in the northern West Bank to their house in the town of Tammun, south of Tubas.

    The children joyfully described the colours and styles of their outfits to their visually impaired brother, Othman. Ali glanced back at his children and smiled at his wife, sharing a rare moment together, as his work often kept him away from his family.

    It was a perfect Saturday evening for the Palestinian family, violently interrupted when undercover Israeli special forces suddenly peppered the car with bullets, killing the parents and two of their children.

    Ali, 37, Waad, 35, and their children, Mohammad and Othman, aged five and seven respectively, were each shot in the head. Only Mustafa, eight, and Khaled, 12, survived, though they sustained shrapnel wounds to the face and head.

    The Israeli forces, travelling in a civilian car, opened fire as soon as Ali’s vehicle reached the western part of Tammun.

    Soldiers then approached the car, opened the doors and found the two children still alive. They dragged them out of the vehicle.

    Khaled told reporters that soldiers ordered them to lie on the ground in the cold and rain while they were questioned. They were then made to stand against a wall with their hands raised and searched.

    Mustafa, frightened and in shock, asked to go to the toilet, so a soldier took him to another location. On the way, Mustafa recounted, the soldier opened the car doors again and forced him to look at the bodies of his bleeding family before laughing.

    "They kept us with them and ordered us to remain still after searching us. They beat us, kicked us and cursed and laughed at us," Khaled said.

    "They asked where we had been, and I told them we had gone to Nablus to buy Eid clothes. They accused me of lying and beat me.

    "Then I gathered the courage to ask one of the soldiers, ‘Do you love your mother and father?’ He said, ‘Of course.’ I asked, ‘Then why did you kill mine?’ He punched me in the face."

  • According to an education ministry spokesperson, the destruction was so severe that 69 schoolgirls are yet to be identified and their remains are currently undergoing DNA testing.

    One of the Red Crescent medics described the scene as “unbelievable”.

    “We saw bodies without heads, without hands, without legs,” he said.

    The medic described dozens of severed limbs scattered around the school grounds. Some children were so badly burned that identifying them was extremely difficult.

    Anatomy of the bombs

    The investigation identified specific US-manufactured munitions used in Gaza that are linked to these disappearances:

    MK-84 ‘Hammer’: This 900kg [2,000lb] unguided bomb packed with tritonal generates heat up to 3,500C [6,332F].

    BLU-109 bunker buster: Used in an attack on al-Mawasi, an area Israel had declared a “safe zone” for forcibly displaced Palestinians in September 2024, this bomb evaporated 22 people. It has a steel casing and a delayed fuse, burying itself before detonating a PBXN-109 explosive mix. This creates a large fireball inside enclosed spaces, incinerating everything within reach.

    GBU-39: This precision glide bomb was used in the al-Tabin school attack. It uses the AFX-757 explosive. “The GBU-39 is designed to keep the building structure relatively intact while destroying everything inside,” Fatigarov noted. “It kills via a pressure wave that ruptures lungs and a thermal wave that incinerates soft tissue.”
