"The hardest decision we had to make in completing this report was.. not to name the Palestinian children, whose deaths, injuries & suffering we describe.. we didn't name them because we feared the consequences for their families"

He means Israel would go after them too.

[Malachy Browne @malachybrowne]

Official statements placing U.S. forces in the area – along w/ analysis of social posts, videos, sat. images – suggest U.S. forces bombed a school in Minab, Iran during strikes targeting an IRGC base. Over 150 were killed, Iranian officials say. https://t.co/ZFIjTVPjBZ

[Committee to Protect Journalists @pressfreedom]

More journalists and media workers were killed in 2025 than in any other year since CPJ began collecting data more than three decades ago. At least 129 journalists and media workers were killed, two-thirds of them by Israel.

“I thought I was dead for sure,” said Palestinian media worker, @samertarazi2.

When he & his colleagues were detained by the IDF for 18 hours, they were stripped naked, blindfolded & held at gunpoint.

Samer told his story to @TinaMQ. Listen below:

[Nabil Al-Nashar | نبيل النشار @NabilAlNashar]

Samer Tarazi is an unsung hero of Palestinian journalism who had the impossible task of ensuring live feeds, stories and pictures gathered by Palestinian journalists made it anywhere outside of Gaza.

He’s a broadcast engineer who macgyver-ed satellite connections with charred remains of OB transmission vans after Israel had bombed crew gear and cut off the internet.

Samer was with @AnasAlSharif0 the day he died.

Samer was targeted at the attack on Al-Shifa hospital in March 2024.

Samer was shot at, bombed, detained, stripped naked and humiliated, and lost so many colleagues over the last two years.

Samer had several chances to get out of Gaza but refused and sacrificed so much “so the world can see” he said.

He exemplifies the triumph and dignity of the Palestinian journalist.

[Ryan Rozbiani @RyanRozbiani]

We have lost too many Journalists in Gaza.

This video of Saleh Al-Jafarawi and Anas Al-Sharif celebrating the first ceasefire breaks my heart.

May God have mercy on their souls 💔

RT @NabilAlNashar: “Why have journalists in Australia been relatively quiet about the grave attacks on press freedom [in Gaza]?

And what…

[Antoinette Lattouf @antoinette_news]

Justice Rangiah in his own words in Lattouf v ABC penalty decision.

The broadcaster has been ordered to pay $150,000. I was previously awarded $70,000 for hurt and distress.

ABC has spent in excess of $2 million on legal fees.

The real cost to Aunty is immeasurable.

🧵It's nice that the Times decided to cover the explosion of settler violence in the West Bank, but I'm going to tell you everything that's wrong with the article.

[MEAA @withMEAA]

Targeting journalists is a war crime.
As colleagues, we remember them.

[أنس الشريف Anas Al-Sharif @AnasAlSharif0]

This is my will and my final message. If these words reach you, know that Israel has succeeded in killing me and silencing my voice. First, peace be upon you and Allah’s mercy and blessings.

Allah knows I gave every effort and all my strength to be a support and a voice for my people, ever since I opened my eyes to life in the alleys and streets of the Jabalia refugee camp. My hope was that Allah would extend my life so I could return with my family and loved ones to our original town of occupied Asqalan (Al-Majdal). But Allah’s will came first, and His decree is final. I have lived through pain in all its details, tasted suffering and loss many times, yet I never once hesitated to convey the truth as it is, without distortion or falsification—so that Allah may bear witness against those who stayed silent, those who accepted our killing, those who choked our breath, and whose hearts were unmoved by the scattered remains of our children and women, doing nothing to stop the massacre that our people have faced for more than a year and a half.

I entrust you with Palestine—the jewel in the crown of the Muslim world, the heartbeat of every free person in this world. I entrust you with its people, with its wronged and innocent children who never had the time to dream or live in safety and peace. Their pure bodies were crushed under thousands of tons of Israeli bombs and missiles, torn apart and scattered across the walls.

I urge you not to let chains silence you, nor borders restrain you. Be bridges toward the liberation of the land and its people, until the sun of dignity and freedom rises over our stolen homeland. I entrust you to take care of my family. I entrust you with my beloved daughter Sham, the light of my eyes, whom I never got the chance to watch grow up as I had dreamed.

I entrust you with my dear son Salah, whom I had wished to support and accompany through life until he grew strong enough to carry my burden and continue the mission.

I entrust you with my beloved mother, whose blessed prayers brought me to where I am, whose supplications were my fortress and whose light guided my path. I pray that Allah grants her strength and rewards her on my behalf with the best of rewards.

I also entrust you with my lifelong companion, my beloved wife, Umm Salah (Bayan), from whom the war separated me for many long days and months. Yet she remained faithful to our bond, steadfast as the trunk of an olive tree that does not bend—patient, trusting in Allah, and carrying the responsibility in my absence with all her strength and faith.

I urge you to stand by them, to be their support after Allah Almighty. If I die, I die steadfast upon my principles. I testify before Allah that I am content with His decree, certain of meeting Him, and assured that what is with Allah is better and everlasting.

O Allah, accept me among the martyrs, forgive my past and future sins, and make my blood a light that illuminates the path of freedom for my people and my family. Forgive me if I have fallen short, and pray for me with mercy, for I kept my promise and never changed or betrayed it.

Do not forget Gaza… And do not forget me in your sincere prayers for forgiveness and acceptance.

This is what our beloved Anas requested to be published upon his martyrdom.

[Philip Proudfoot @PhilipProudfoot]

Alex de Waal is one of the world's leading experts on famine and the humanitarian system.

"There is no case since WW2 of starvation that has been so minutely designed and controlled"

"The obligation to prevent has been activated"

[Samira Mohyeddin سمیرا @SMohyeddin]

.@AFP journalists in Gaza say they can no longer work for the news agency; they have no energy and are starving. The French Press Agency is urging the world to intervene.

[Forensic Architecture @ForensicArchi]

The mounting starvation in Gaza is a direct result of Israel’s dismantling of the ‘UN model’ of aid distribution and its replacement with the lethal GHF system.

Israel is deliberately undermining systems of aid distribution by the UN and other international agencies: restricting the flow of aid, permitting looting in military zones, and attacking distribution centres.

Just as civilians have been killed at GHF ration stations, those waiting along aid truck routes are also being targeted by the Israeli military—making every route to aid in Gaza deadly.

We broke down the logic of Israel’s policy of starvation, its architecture, and aims, showing how engineered starvation (and its supposed mitigation) is used as a tool to break Palestinian society.

[Richard Sanders @PulaRJS]

Sorry - I'm going to be really boring about this. Every time the BBC uncritically repeats the Israeli lie that Hamas uses civilians as human shields I'm going to post the section in our AJ I-Unit film "Gaza" that debunks this, in detail.

It is simply a lie. /1

[Ramy Abdu| رامي عبده @RamAbdu]

Israeli use of human shields in Gaza was systemic, soldiers and former detainees tell the AP https://t.co/ltQjhEyZE8

[Rutger Bregman @rcbregman]

Incredibly powerful investigation in Dutch newspaper NRC: Seven of the world’s leading genocide scholars — including renowned Holocaust experts — describe Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocidal.

And according to them, nearly all of their peers agree.

"Al Mawasi is supposed to be a safe zone, but Israeli air strikes hit a camp where families were sleeping... anyone trapped inside burned alive. They had to pick limbs & pieces of flesh out of the ashes"

[Democracy Now! @democracynow]

The U.S. is reportedly floating a plan to forcibly transfer Palestinians in Gaza to Libya. @MouinRabbani discusses the details of the plan and whether or not it is likely to come to fruition.
