Earlier today, during operational activity in the area of Hebron, IDF soldiers perceived a vehicle accelerating toward them. An IDF soldier responded with single shots toward the vehicle. As a result, three Palestinians were injured and evacuated for medical treatment. An initial inquiry found that those injured were uninvolved civilians. The incident is under review, and the findings will be submitted for review by the relevant authorities. The IDF expresses deep sorrow for any harm caused to uninvolved individuals.

Asked whether he considers the situation in Gaza to be a genocide, Andy Burnham — currently a leading contender to succeed Keir Starmer as Labour leader — declined to use the term.

🔺Ken Early: Arsenal came out for the second half knowing it would consist of 2,700 seconds and that their objective was to kill them all: “Exterminate all the brutes.” ⚽️ If Arsenal are unpopular with neutrals, it’s because they waste everyone’s time. Not just their opponents’ time, but our time too ⚽️A way of playing that was more fun for everyone else might, in the end, be more fun for them too Read here: irishtimes.com/sport/soccer/2… #afc #arsenal

@davidyelland We’re a liberal club from London, with tons of black fans and players, in the 2000s had French (gasp) stars playing a “soft” euro style of football while Stoke tried to injure us, and worst of all we’re good. That’s a perfect recipe to be hated by a northern goon like yourself




Joshua Kimmich says he has no intention of being involved in any political debates surrounding the World Cup in the US: "Having no opinion isn't the solution. Each of us inevitably has a personal stance on certain topics, and I, too, have certain values I stand by. But at the same time, it's difficult to express this opinion in the role of a footballer or captain of the national team. Just because you have an opinion doesn't make you an expert. It's the responsibility of politicians or associations to take a position on such topics. Political situations, in particular, are often difficult to assess – even for people who deal with them professionally. The idea that we players can solve these problems or change anything about them is the wrong expectation" [@SIGermany]
