Israel is seizing land for a new army base in Area A near Jenin. During “Operation Iron Wall,” the IDF occupied refugee camps and displaced up to 45,000 Palestinians. Now comes the next step: expanding military control in the name of “security.”

A settler outpost, established almost a year ago, is denying hundreds of Palestinians access to their land that financially supports thousands of Palestinian families. How can a tiny outpost, illegal even under Israeli law, do that? It’s a tactic used across the West Bank 🧵
🟡Israel’s Yellow Line in Gaza has shifted. Israel now controls 59% of the territory, up from 53% in October when the “ceasefire” came into effect. The IDF is entrenching its presence in the area, so the Yellow Line could become a new de facto permanent border 🧵

Israel has granted a perpetrator of war crimes in Gaza the honor of lighting a ceremonial torch on Independence Day. By choosing Rabbi Avraham Zarbiv to represent “the spirit of the nation,” Israel is making genocide part of its official national ethos.
“There’s nothing for them to go back to in Rafah and Jabalya… Tens of thousands of families have no documents, childhood photos, ID cards, homes. Nothing.” This boast was made by Rabbi Avraham Zarbiv, an Israeli Rabbi who perpetrated war crimes who has been chosen to light a torch at Israel’s Independence Day ceremony, today, April 21. This is one of the highest accolades in the country, granted to “exemplary citizens” who represent “the spirit of the nation.”
Rabbi Zarbiv served about 500 days as a military reservist in Gaza over the last two and a half years. As a bulldozer operator during the genocide, he carried out war crimes of which he has openly boasted in videos he filmed, media interviews and public talks.
Bestowing one of the highest civilian honors in Israel on a citizen who committed war crimes illustrates how deeply the dehumanization of Palestinians has taken root in the Israeli mainstream. It is yet another terrifying signal that genocide has officially become part of the national ethos. Rabbi Avraham Zarbiv is a regional rabbinical court judge for the settlement of Ariel, and head the pre-military academy in the settlement of Beit El that educates hundreds of Israeli youth. Choosing him as an “exemplary citizen” represents a state-level endorsement of the complete de-humanization of Palestinians, systematic destruction of Palestinian life and the governing logic of annihilation and ethnic cleansing in the Gaza Strip and the West Bank. Zarbiv is not ashamed of his actions, neither, clearly is the State of Israel. We’vecompiled some documentation here to mark the occasion.
🟥 #Focus | Since the resumption of the war in Lebanon in early March, Israeli officials have been applying the same strategy in southern Lebanon as in Gaza, aiming to create a buffer zone.
Our analysis and the authentication of images published online, combined with the few satellite images we have obtained, confirm the scale of the disaster: in less than two weeks, some urban areas have completely disappeared.
This is a particularly difficult task, as the US government has forced satellite imagery providers to suspend broadcasting their feeds over the region, making access to evidence in these now inaccessible areas extremely difficult.
From Khiam to Naqoura, passing through Deir Siryan and Taybeh, entire swathes of Lebanese history are being obliterated by Israeli explosives, bombings, and bulldozers.
Our visual analysis.
Briser des peuples par la violence pour mieux les soumettre. Une stratégie vieille comme le monde qui n’a jamais apporté la paix sur le long terme. Seule la justice apporte la paix.
In recent days, amid the escalation between Lebanon and Israel, the IDF have stepped up a campaign of large-scale demolitions targeting homes of displaced families in Gaza, w focus in the south
This campaign included destruction of several schools, among them a UN school (today)
This practice, known as the “Mosquito Protocol,” is supported by many of our testifiers:
"We were on the coastal road, and lots of people were walking towards Rafah, and then, they grabbed these two guys and used them to open up locations [...] before a force entered the location, he sent them to open up the houses, so if there’s an IED, they get blown up."

One of the largest waves of Israeli strikes so far has just hit over 60 locations across Beirut and beyond.
Deaths are mounting. Destruction is massive. Civilians are paying the price. Again.
They are not a target. They must be protected.
While covering the latest Israeli settler attack in the West Bank, Israeli soldiers assaulted my photojournalist @cyrilthps and detained my team.
But our 2-hour detention revealed a lot about the motives of these Israeli soldiers: acting in service of the settler movement.
