🔴 BREAKING: Israel Moves to Legalize State Executions of Palestinians Israel’s National Security Committee has approved a bill mandating the death penalty for any Palestinian convicted of killing an Israeli, clearing it for a first Knesset vote. The bill bans commutation of the sentence. Netanyahu’s “hostage coordinator” Gal Hirsch reversed his opposition, saying “the reality has changed” after captives were freed; he had earlier warned it could endanger their lives. It also lowers the judicial threshold for execution, allowing death sentences by simple majority, not requiring unanimity. Israeli military courts already convict some 99.7% of Palestinians they try.

YouTube deleted the channels of three major Palestinian human rights groups, erasing 700+ videos documenting Israeli war crimes. Google says it acted to comply with Trump administration sanctions tied to the groups’ cooperation with the International Criminal Court. Source: The Intercept

BREAKING: Israel has dropped a new type of bomb in Gaza. Palestinians claim it’s a “mini nuke,” but analysis suggests it is likely a thermobaric (vacuum) weapon. Thermobaric bombs detonate by dispersing a fuel–air mixture, producing a high-pressure shockwave and intense heat. This can collapse structures and cause blast effects similar to a nuclear detonation in terms of overpressure, but it is not a nuclear weapon.
