Two Palestinian children have been killed in an Israeli drone attack on the town of Bani Suheila, east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip, according to medics. Witnesses told Al Jazeera that drones dropped a bomb on a group of civilians near al-Farabi School on Saturday morning, killing two brothers, Juma and Fadi Tamer Abu Assi. list of 4 itemsend of list The two boys were taken to the Nasser Medical Complex in Khan Younis with critical injuries, where they were later pronounced dead, medical sources said.

At the height of the Catalan independence movement, back in October 2017, a couple of people criticized me for tweeting about restaurants and recipes when revolution was apparently about to erupt in Catalonia. Their reproaches seemed so absurd that I didn't even try to argue with them, but those indignant people planted a seed in my mind, because since then, I've wondered more than once what the point is of discussing seemingly trivial matters when the world around us is burning.

At least 12 Syrians have been killed and others wounded in Israeli artillery and missile attacks on the town of Beit Jinn, southwest of Syria's capital, Damascus.

the Israeli attacks targeted three specific sites including southern Gaza's al-Mawasi area, near Khan Younis. Israel also struck a junction in the eastern Gaza City area of Shujayea filled with displaced Palestinian families, and a building in the Zeitoun neighbourhood where at least 10 people including an entire family were killed. A father, a mother, and their three children were killed inside this building, said Mahmoud, adding that the intensified attacks are fuelling panic throughout the Gaza Strip.

On Monday, the UN Security Council passed a US-sponsored resolution which backs US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for ending Israel's war on Gaza. Among the clauses was one that supported the creation and deployment of an international stabilisation force (ISF) to provide security and oversight of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza. In theory, this security body will work with Israel and Egypt to demilitarise the Gaza Strip and will reportedly train a Palestinian police force.

That's how a Palestinian man described his transfer from Gaza, through Israel and Kenya, to South Africa. A journey so desperate that Palestinians paid thousands of dollars to leave their homes without knowing where they were going. A journey forced by more than two years of Israel's genocide. In February, Israel and the United States proposed forcibly removing Palestinians from Gaza. But Arab states rejected calls to take them in, and rights groups labelled it ethnic cleansing.

A mobile skatepark moving between displacement camps in Gaza is providing rare mental health support to children trapped in one of the world's most severe humanitarian crises, where trauma and grief are rife. Amid the wreckage of Gaza City, where collapsed buildings and twisted concrete dominate the landscape, a group of young Palestinians has transformed the destruction into an unlikely playground.

There is no engagement with the youth who studied under bombardment, no voice for the high school students whose determination defied the arrogance of war. Here in Gaza, where schools have been turned into piles of rubble, young people are rewriting the story of resilience: a story of education practiced as an act of resistance, and hope rising from beneath the ruins.

The smoke from the bombing blinded me completely, she said.

About 30 minutes into a new documentary featuring testimonies of Israeli soldiers about being deployed to Gaza, a soldier reflects on the enclave after months of sustained Israeli war on it: Terrible heat. Sand. Stench. And dogs wandering around in packs. They eat dead bodies It's horrifying It's a kind of zombie apocalypse. No trees. No bushes. No roads. There's nothing.

Tension is building around Villa Park ahead of tonight's Europa League game between Aston Villa and Maccabi Tel Aviv. No Maccabi fans will be in attendance, officially at least, after the local Safety Advisory Group decided one of the stipulations for the issuing of a safety certificate would be a blanket ban on Israeli supporters. The reasoning was the prospect of clashes with pro-Palestine supporters over the situation in Gaza which continues to rumble on despite an uneasy ceasefire currently in operation.
