Moving piece by @DanielHiltonCFC Massacres and resilience in Hama, Syria's insubordinate city middleeasteye.net/news/massacres…

Surveillance footage reportedly shows an Israeli armoured vehicle deliberately crashing into vegetable stands owned by Palestinians during a raid this morning in Tulkarm, in the occupied West Bank. At least 50 Palestinians have been killed in the northern occupied West Bank since the Israeli army launched a major offensive in the area two weeks ago, according to the military.

I cannot stress enough how the situation in the West Bank is intensifying. 22 Palestinians killed in a single week. At least 5 Palestinians killed in two different airstrikes in Jenin in the last hours. We are witnessing unprecedented violence from the Israeli military while settlers expand illegal settlements across the West Bank.

Things have grown tense in Syria’s Alawi communities. Fake or misleading videos of abuses have only fanned the flames. Alawis told me they want direct reassurance from Ahmed al-Sharaa middleeasteye.net/news/syria-dis…

Around 31,000 prisoners were freed as the Syrian government fell. That leaves an estimated 100,000 people unaccounted for. The grim truth is they most likely died under torture, @FADELABDULGHANY tells me middleeasteye.net/news/syrians-f…

Yesterday I went to Qatana, the closest Syrian town to invading Israeli troops, to see how people were getting on. Everyone was pretty chill about it to be honest middleeasteye.net/news/syrian-co…

When the Syrian army tortured 13-year-old Hamza al-Khatib to death in 2011, he became synonymous with the government’s brutality. His death also put a target on his family’s back. My piece from Daraa middleeasteye.net/news/hamza-al-…
