Israeli strikes killed 10 Palestinians in Gaza, the enclave's civil defence said on 6 June, with Al-Shifa Hospital confirming it received eight bodies of the victims.

In Gaza City, a drone strike killed eight people and wounded 15 others in the Jawazat camp for displaced people, the civil defence said.

At least 951 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli violations since the ceasefire took effect in October 2025, according to Gaza's health ministry. The Israeli army has reported five deaths in its ranks during the same period.

A surveillance camera caught a brutal assault by an Israeli soldier and settlers on two young Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

Video shows the victims being thrown to the ground and repeatedly beaten, including with a wooden plank, leaving them motionless.

BREAKING: Israeli settler terrorists are attacking the village of Al-Mughayyir in the occupied West Bank right now, setting fields on fire and attempting to burn down a home with a family still inside.

The Israeli army is preventing fire trucks from reaching the area.

Palestinian peace activist Aziz Abu Sarah @AzizAbuSarah says a simple act of kindness from an Israeli teacher changed his life and taught him that empathy must extend to all people in pain, regardless of sides or politics.

Israel has advanced plans to expel Bedouin communities from the 'E1 area', paving the way for settlement construction that will split the West Bank in two.

A timely reminder that, despite the psychodrama of British politics, the Prime Minister has a leadership role in Europe on the Ukraine crisis and is playing it well.

It's not just the exploitation of a tragedy.

JD Vance's picture of Britain - where migrants have led to a crime surge - is the opposite of the truth.

"The baby’s grandmother said the family was driving near a checkpoint when they saw Israeli military vehicles and soldiers in the distance and stopped the car. She said shots were then fired toward them, which they initially believed were warning shots."

Unfortunately, the Russian side once again chooses war – everyone heard the response today. Weak response. He simply does not want to end the war.

I think many around the world were disappointed by that response. He does not want to change anything, and he does not want to admit that this war appeals only to him – and to those who are making money off him. They were all smiling very broadly today.

That means Russia must have less money, and there must be more pressure on Russia.

I thank everyone who is helping us. I thank everyone who stands with Ukraine and wants a real peace.

I suspect Vance’s intervention in British politics will be as ineffective and counterproductive as his intervention on behalf of Viktor Orban in Hungary.

It was terrible Mr Vice President what happened. And lessons will be learned. But here’s a thought - maybe concentrate instead on why 44000 Americans died last year from gun related deaths, and what can be done about your dreadful disease before you start lecturing others

No, Camilla. @ZackPolanski & over 60 politicians, human rights lawyers + others are not calling for a “list of Jews”. They are supporting a letter asking the UK Govt to secondary screen returning dual nationals & Britons who have served with the IDF since Oct’23. The aim is to find out whether they have fought in Gaza. This is bec Israel is accused of Genocide at the ICJ. It would fulfill the UK’s commitment to the Genocide Conventions. You appear to be defending Polanski being called “human trash” by Goldsmith. Is that the case?
