🚨BREAKING: Heavy Israeli bombardment on Gaza right now. The genocide has never stopped‼️

In Gaza, a boy comforts his younger brother after losing their mother.

🗞️ Leaked body-camera footage obtained by Haaretz contradicts Israeli police claims surrounding the violent arrest of a Palestinian Israeli prosecutor in southern city of Be'er Sheva, showing officers storming his apartment, pinning him down, and “beating [him] mercilessly,” despite no visible resistance, according to his lawyers and footage. The prosecutor was hospitalized and underwent surgery for a broken nose and serious injuries to his eye and kidneys. The raid began after an off-duty officer living nearby filed a noise complaint, then entered the apartment without a warrant alongside two other officers. After the family demanded they leave, police later returned with reinforcements, forced their way inside, and arrested the prosecutor along with two relatives — a doctor and nurse at Soroka Medical Center — who were also repeatedly beaten during the raid. All three were imprisoned for three days. According to testimony, officers mocked the bleeding prosecutor during and after the beating, while Israeli police later accused the family of assaulting officers. Story and footage are linked below.

One of the most horrifying and brutal scenes ever captured on camera in modern history. Israeli soldiers opened fire on thousands of starving Palestinians in Gaza as they ran in desperation trying to get a piece of food during the war on Gaza. A moment the world must never forget.
