Palestinians in Gaza visit the graves of their loved ones and find the cemeteries now blooming with flowers.

A drug rehabilitation centre in Kabul was struck overnight, killing over 400 people, according to Afghan officials. The attack marks a dramatic escalation in conflict between Pakistan and Afghanistan, which has only heightened in the past three weeks. Afghan officials condemn Pakistan air strike, calling it a crime against humanity targeting civilians and addicts. Pakistan rejected Afghanistan’s claims about the hospital strike, insisting its Monday operations in eastern Afghanistan targeted only military installations. Pakistani officials dismissed the reported death count as propaganda.

During bombardment in Beirut’s southern suburbs by Israeli forces, Diana Abada evacuated with 40 cats, returning multiple times to carry them out, two by two, after the area had emptied. “These are souls… I couldn’t leave them behind.”

Australia Hosts Israeli Female Soldiers for a ‘Recovery Retreat’ Australia is facing backlash after hosting Israeli female soldiers under a so-called “recovery” program, despite Israel currently facing genocide allegations at the International Court of Justice over its war crimes in Gaza. Framed as a humanitarian initiative, the visit has been presented in soft, lifestyle-style language, more reminiscent of a wellness retreat than a military-linked program. During their stay in Melbourne, the women reportedly took part in activities such as puppy yoga, a MasterChef-style cooking challenge, school visits, and day trips to the Mornington Peninsula hot springs, wineries, surfing beaches, and Phillip Island, further reinforcing perceptions of a curated, leisure-focused experience. Critics argue this framing obscures a harsher reality: these are active soldiers, some of whom may have participated in operations in Gaza, yet are being received with care and sympathy on Australian soil. The controversy has intensified accusations of double standards. While Israeli soldiers are granted entry and support, Palestinian civilians facing mass displacement, bombardment, and humanitarian collapse remain largely absent from similar pathways. Observers say this reflects selective compassion and a broader political posture that dehumanises Palestinians by omission. At a time of heightened global scrutiny and calls for accountability, critics argue Australia’s approach exposes a stark disconnect between its humanitarian rhetoric and its actions.

Family Returning From Eid Shopping Killed in the West Bank by Israeli Forces A Palestinian family’s late-night trip to buy Eid clothes ended in tragedy in the occupied West Bank after Israeli soldiers opened fire on their vehicle, killing four members of the same family and leaving two young boys as the only survivors. According to testimony from the surviving children, laser sights suddenly appeared across the car as they drove home. Moments later, gunfire tore through the vehicle, killing their father, Ali Bani Odeh, their mother, Waad, and two of their young sons. The two surviving brothers were pulled from the car by soldiers and forced into a military vehicle, where they say they were beaten. One of the children later recalled hearing soldiers shout, “We killed dogs.” In the aftermath, Mustafa confronted one of the soldiers. “Do you like your parents?” he asked. When the soldier replied yes, Mustafa asked, “Then why did you kill mine?” According to the child’s testimony, the soldier responded by punching him in the face. Israeli authorities later said troops opened fire because they “sensed danger,” though the family had been returning home after searching for Eid clothes late at night. Within seconds, an ordinary family outing ended in devastation, leaving two young brothers alive but carrying the trauma of witnessing the killing of their parents and siblings.

Four Palestinians, Including Two Children, Killed After Israeli Forces Fire on Car A Palestinian family of six was driving home after buying Eid clothes when Israeli forces opened fire on their car in the town of Tamoun in the occupied West Bank, killing both parents and two young children. The victims were the children’s mother and father, along with two of their sons, while two other brothers survived the attack with injuries. According to survivor testimony, one of the boys hid beneath the seat as gunfire continued to strike the vehicle. Israeli authorities say the soldiers opened fire because the car was perceived as a threat, while Palestinian officials have condemned the incident as an extrajudicial killing of civilians. After the shooting stopped, the surviving child said soldiers pulled him and his brother from the wrecked vehicle. He alleges that they were beaten and taunted by the soldiers as their family lay dead. According to the boy’s account, the soldiers mocked the killing and said, “We killed dogs.” The incident has drawn widespread condemnation from Palestinian officials and rights groups, who say it reflects escalating violence against Palestinian civilians in the West Bank.

Israel Accused of Deliberately Targeting Medical Workers in Lebanon An Israeli airstrike on a medical centre in southern Lebanon has killed 15 medics, according to Lebanese health officials. The strike occurred moments after the workers had broken their fast during Ramadan. Those killed included doctors, paramedics and first responders, people whose role is to provide emergency care and save lives. The Lebanese Health Ministry said the attack was not an isolated incident. Just hours earlier, another Israeli strike reportedly targeted paramedics in the town of Al-Sawana, killing two more emergency workers and raising further concerns about the safety of medical personnel operating in the conflict zone. Human rights advocates say the incidents raise serious legal and moral questions. Under the Geneva Conventions, medical workers, hospitals and ambulances are protected during armed conflict, and deliberately targeting them can constitute a war crime. Critics note that similar allegations were widely reported during Israel’s military operations in Gaza, where more than 30 hospitals were destroyed or rendered inoperable. Now, the same accusations are emerging in Lebanon, where at least 26 medical workers have reportedly been killed since March 2. Observers and rights groups say Israel must be held accountable, warning that targeting those providing lifesaving care undermines one of the most fundamental protections in international humanitarian law.

Google Invests $32B in Israeli Cyber Firm as Gaza Genocide Continues Google’s parent company, Alphabet Inc., has completed a $32 billion acquisition of Wiz, an Israeli-founded cloud cybersecurity firm whose software scans and maps vulnerabilities across major cloud systems. Wiz technology is widely used by large corporations and government institutions to monitor infrastructure running on platforms like Amazon Web Services, Microsoft Azure, and Google Cloud. While Google says the purchase strengthens cloud security, critics argue it represents a deeper integration between Big Tech and Israel’s rapidly expanding cyber-surveillance sector, which has long drawn talent from military intelligence units and security agencies. The deal comes at a time when Israel faces widespread international accusations of committing a Gaza genocide case at the International Court of Justice and other war crimes in Gaza. Human rights advocates warn that powerful cloud-monitoring tools like Wiz can potentially be used by governments and military contractors to secure and scale large-scale data operations, surveillance systems, and AI-driven targeting infrastructure. For critics, Google’s decision to invest billions into Israel’s cybersecurity ecosystem raises ethical questions about whether global technology companies should be financially supporting or strengthening industries linked to a state currently under intense scrutiny for alleged violations of international law.

Worshippers have been pushed outside the holy site of Al-Aqsa Mosque during the last 10 nights of Ramadan, gathering instead at the nearest accessible point near Bab al-Sahira, a gateway commonly used by residents and worshippers travelling to and from the compound, to perform Maghrib, Isha and Taraweeh prayers. It marks the first time since the occupation of Jerusalem in 1967 that Taraweeh night prayers have been prevented inside the mosque during the last ten nights of Ramadan.

Mosque Incident and Protest Arrests Raise Questions Over Selective Law Enforcement Recent incidents in Australia have raised questions about consistency in police responses to public disturbances and protests. In Ballarat, a man reportedly disrupted an iftar gathering at a mosque, an event where members of the Muslim community had assembled to break their fast during Ramadan. Witnesses described the man acting aggressively toward attendees, yet no immediate arrest was made following the incident. The response has prompted concern among some community members about how such incidents involving places of worship are handled. The situation has drawn comparisons with events in Queensland, where police made arrests during pro-Palestine demonstrations, including cases involving the slogan “From the river to the sea” and a young person wearing a shirt bearing the phrase. Authorities stated the arrests were made under laws relating to public order and protest conduct. The contrast between the two situations has led some observers to question whether enforcement is being applied consistently, highlighting broader debates in Australia about freedom of expression, protest laws, and the protection of religious communities.

Israeli Military Drops Charges Against Soldiers Accused of Sodomising Palestinian Detainee Israel’s military has dropped charges against several soldiers accused of sodomising a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility, in a case that drew international outrage after footage of the assault was leaked to the media. According to reports, the detainee was severely beaten and sexually assaulted by soldiers while in custody, suffering serious injuries that required hospital treatment. The incident became public only after surveillance footage of the abuse was leaked, triggering global condemnation and prompting an investigation by Israeli authorities. Critics say the case illustrates how abuses against Palestinian detainees rarely come to light, and that without the video evidence and subsequent leak, the alleged assault would likely never have reached investigators, let alone the public. Despite the graphic nature of the allegations, the soldiers will not face trial after Israeli military prosecutors announced they were dropping the charges, citing legal and evidentiary complications. The case also exposed deep divisions within Israeli society, where far-right politicians and supporters rallied behind the accused soldiers, staging protests and defending their actions even in the face of rape allegations. Human rights organisations argue that the outcome reflects a broader pattern of impunity surrounding abuses against Palestinians, where complaints of torture, beatings and sexual violence rarely result in convictions. For critics, the decision to abandon the case, despite filmed evidence and international scrutiny, has intensified accusations that Israel’s military justice system fails to hold soldiers accountable for brutality against Palestinian detainees.

Protesters Charged After Allegedly Chanting “From the River to the Sea” Under New QLD Laws Queensland police have charged two pro-Palestinian protesters under the state’s newly enacted hate-speech laws, marking one of the first uses of the controversial legislation since it came into effect. The arrests took place outside Queensland Parliament during a demonstration, where authorities allege one protester used the phrase “from the river to the sea”, a slogan the government has effectively criminalised in certain public contexts. According to police, the charges stem not only from spoken words but also from public displays of the phrase, meaning individuals can face arrest for wearing clothing or holding signs containing it. In this case, one protester was reportedly detained for allegedly saying the phrase, while another was arrested for displaying it on a shirt, underscoring the law's broad scope. Civil liberties advocates and free-speech defenders have sharply criticised the Queensland government’s approach, describing the legislation as a draconian expansion of state power that risks criminalising political expression. The law allows police to prosecute individuals if their speech is deemed threatening, abusive or capable of causing offence on certain grounds, but critics argue its vague wording leaves broad discretion in the hands of authorities and opens the door to the policing of political slogans. By making it possible to arrest someone not only for chanting a phrase but even for displaying it on clothing, opponents say the law moves beyond tackling genuine hate speech and into the realm of suppressing dissent.

Man Arrested After Paintball Gun was Fired at Phoenix Mosque, where Children were Present A man has been arrested after allegedly firing a paintball gun at a mosque in Phoenix, Arizona, while worshippers, including children, were present. The incident reportedly occurred during a gathering at the mosque, alarming families and damaging several parked vehicles. Although the weapon used was a paintball gun rather than a firearm, the act sparked fear among those inside the mosque and raised concerns about the safety of Muslim communities. Community members say the incident reflects a worrying pattern of rising Islamophobic harassment and intimidation targeting mosques and Muslim institutions across the West. While no injuries were reported, the event has renewed calls for authorities to take threats against places of worship seriously and ensure stronger protections for communities facing growing hostility.

A self-declared far-right man stormed a Muslim community iftar in Ballarat, Australia. He hurled abuse at attendees, breaking their fast. “He was saying f Allah f Islam and Death to Allah,” said one muslim attendee. Police attended the scene; however, no charges have been laid.

Palestinian journalist Amal Shamali was killed by an Israeli air strike on the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Shamali worked as a correspondent for Qatar radio, alongside working "with several Arab and local media outlets and was among the journalists who continued performing their media mission despite the ongoing assault and war on the Gaza Strip," the Palestinian Journalist syndicate said. Gaza officials accuse Israel of targeting journalists, with more than 270 killed since October 7th, when the war began.

Israeli War Crimes in Lebanon Nearly 700,000 people have been displaced across Lebanon, including around 200,000 children, according to estimates from UNICEF, as Israeli airstrikes intensify across parts of the country. Local health authorities and United Nations agencies report that more than 486 people have been killed, among them at least 84 children, with many of the casualties occurring as Israeli strikes hit residential areas and densely populated neighbourhoods. Human rights organisations have also raised concerns about the methods used in the attacks. Human Rights Watch reported that Israeli forces used white phosphorus over homes in the town of Yohmor, a substance widely condemned for the severe burns it can cause when deployed in populated areas. In a separate incident, Israeli aircraft were reported to have sprayed glyphosate, a herbicide linked to cancer risks, over agricultural land in the southern Lebanese village of al-Bustan, damaging farmland and raising fears about long-term environmental and health consequences for local communities.

Israeli Airstrike Kills Christian Priest Who Refused to Leave His Village in Southern Lebanon An Israeli bombardment in southern Lebanon has killed Father Pierre Al-Rahi, the priest of the predominantly Christian town of Al-Qliyaa, near the Lebanese-Israeli border. Father Al-Rahi was widely known among residents as a spiritual guide who remained with his community during periods of tension and conflict. In what would become one of his final public messages, he spoke calmly about his decision to stay with his parishioners despite escalating attacks in the region. “When we defend our land, we do so peacefully; none of us hold guns. We only hold the guns of peace, goodness, love, and prayer.” Like many civilians who remained in their homes, the priest believed that his status as a non-combatant and a man of faith would shield him from harm. Instead, Israeli shelling struck the area, killing him and leaving others wounded, sending shockwaves through the small border town. His death has intensified criticism of Israel’s ongoing military operations in southern Lebanon, where repeated strikes have hit villages and civilian areas amid the wider conflict along the border. Residents say Father Al-Rahi chose to stay to support those who had not fled, offering spiritual guidance and assistance during a time of fear and uncertainty. The killing of a religious figure who had refused to abandon his community has become a powerful symbol for many in Lebanon, reinforcing concerns that the bombardment has not spared civilians, including clergy and other non-combatants. For the people of Al-Qliyaa, the loss of their priest is not only a personal tragedy but also a stark reminder of the human cost of the ongoing violence.
