Local media reported that Israeli military tanks entered Jabalia refugee camp overnight after the IDF warned that 100,000-150,000 Palestinian civilians would need to "evacuate". The Jabalia refugee camp is densely populated, and local media reported military tanks were surrounding evacuation centres and residential buildings. Mustafa Barghouti, who is the head of the Palestinian National Initiative party, posted a video claiming to show Israel's bombardment of the camp. The video cannot be independently verified. Gaza civil defence has said its teams are unable to access the camp since Israel ...

Smoke has been seen from southern Israel rising over Gaza's skyline as heavy fighting continues in the north of the Strip. A senior spokesperson for the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said that the air force was carrying out airstrikes in the north of Gaza. But fighting also continues in Gaza’s southernmost city, Rafah, where Israel launched a 'limited' operation last week, seizing the border crossing with Egypt in a bid to choke off Hamas supply lines. "Since the start of our precise operation against Hamas in Rafah we have eliminated dozens of terrorists, exposed underground terror tunnels and...

Demonstrations are planned today and Saturday against the Israel-Hamas war. Palestinian flags have been ban...

US President Joe Biden has warned Israel that Washington will stop supplying some weapons if it goes ahead with its long-threatened ground offensive in Rafah. It's the starkest warning yet from Israel's staunchest ally amid growing concerns for the displaced Palestinian civilians living in the south Gaza city. But Biden softened his warning with some words of reassurance, saying the US would "continue to make sure Israel is secure". On Wednesday, State Department Spokesperson Matthew Miller told reporters Washington had already suspended a shipment containing thousands of bombs. "They have not...

A group of EU institution staffers marched in silence in Brussels on Wednesday to mourn the lives lost in Gaza and what they described as the “death” of European values. The civil servants, who defended their impartiality and the apolitical nature of the demonstration, say that the core values of human dignity, peace and the rule of law that they were hired to uphold are being violated in Gaza, and that the EU needs to act. The demonstrators also said that as a peace project, the EU has a responsibility to contribute more towards international efforts to bring peace back to war-torn Gaza. In a...

Israel has launched a military operation on Gaza’s southernmost city Rafah, seizing operational control of the border crossing that is a major route for humanitarian aid. Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said seizing the Gaza side of the Rafah crossing was an "important step" toward dismantling Hamas' military and economic capabilities. "The entrance to Rafah serves two main war goals: the return of our hostages and the elimination of Hamas. We have already proven in the previous release of the abductees, that military pressure on Hamas is a necessary condition for the return of our ...

As Israel appears to begin its long-feared assault on Rafah in the Gaza Strip, the EU's foreign policy chief Josep Borrell has warned that the consequences for the hundreds of thousands sheltering there could be dire. Speaking to the press, Borrell described as "sad news" the blockage of a ceasefire deal that was first accepted by Hamas before being shunned by Israel. "Hamas accepted, Israel rejected, and the land offensive against Rafah has started again," Borrell said, "in spite of all the requests of the international community, the US, the European Union member states, everybody asking Net...

Israel has rejected a ceasefire deal with Hamas with one official criticising it as 'watered-down'. Hamas agreed to the deal, proposed by Egyptian and Qatari mediators, on Monday but Israel said the terms did not meet its basic demands. Details of what was outlined in the proposal have been scarce but it is believed to have included a phased exchange of Israeli hostages in Gaza for Palestinian prisoners held in Israel. It was also thought to include provisions for displaced Palestinians to return to their homes in Gaza. Despite the rejection, news that Hamas had agreed a deal was met with jubi...

The outcry comes following months of anticipation that Israel's war cabinet could order its troops to invade the city, which borders Egypt on the south edge of the besieged Gaza Strip. Since February, the bloc has been warning that the move would worsen an "already catastrophic situation" given that around 1.4 million Palestinians - over half of Gaza’s population - are sheltering from war in Rafah. On Monday, Israel’s military ordered residents and displaced Palestinians to evacuate Rafah’s eastern neighbourhoods to safe zones in other parts of Gaza, indicating that the invasion could be immin...

Israeli tanks and troops have been seen near the country’s border with Gaza raising fears that the long-promised ground offensive into the southern city of Rafah may start soon. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is facing pressure from within his coalition government to launch the offensive to eliminate Hamas battalions the Israelis say are sheltering there. But those plans have also been met with a barrage of criticism from human rights groups and world leaders, including Israel’s staunchest ally the United States. “Today, we again confront enemies bent on our destruction. I say to the leader...
