Israel has claimed responsibility for bombing a wedding celebration in Gaza City yesterday that killed 7 people from two families, including a 4-month-old baby. Israel offered no explanation for violating the ceasefire, but acknowledged that “uninvolved civilians” were killed.

On 18 October 2025, Israeli soldiers raided the main street in the al-Qasarah area of Hebron. At the time, Ibrahim a-Rajabi, 6, and his cousin Adam, 5, went out to play near their homes. Footage shows soldiers dragging Ibrahim, forcing Adam to sit on the ground, kicking the children, and leading them to the corner of the street.

A witness said the two lay on the ground, covered in dust and crying, while one soldier pressed his knee against Adam’s abdomen. When residents asked the soldiers what they were doing, they claimed the children had thrown stones. About 20 minutes later, the soldiers released the children and left the area.

Ibrahim’s mother, Iman a-Rajabi, said her son returned home pale, crying, and covered in dust. Since the incident, he has suffered from anxiety, sleep disturbances, and refuses to leave the house alone, even to school.

In the West Bank, Palestinian children are routinely exposed to military presence, raids, detentions, and violent arrests, even on their way to school or while playing near home. This violence is part of a policy aimed at maintaining control through fear and repression, under Israel’s apartheid and occupation regime in the West Bank.

Israeli occupation forces release a Palestinian child with autism, who they had abducted in Gaza and detained for months.

Dublin Port has been totally shut down for 2 hours by Palestine protesters in solidarity with the Sumud Flotilla

Naturally, no coverage in Irish media

BREAKING 🇵🇸 Navigated by Captain Muhammad Kuchuktigin, the Mikeno ship broke the blockade of Gaza earlier this morning, bypassing the occupation's naval forces and entering Palestinian territorial waters.

IMAGINE SENDING 20 WARSHIPS TO INTERCEPT BOATS CARRYING MILK POWDER AND BABY FORMULA FOR STARVING CHILDREN. THIS IS THE GREATEST EVIL EXISTING IN THE WORLD RIGHT NOW!!!!!

[Assal Rad @AssalRad]

If you take one moment to think about it honestly, it is crazy that a group of unarmed humanitarians is trying to break a siege that’s starving a civilian population, while a genocidal state is threatening them, and the leaders of the Western world support the genocidal state…

@VirginMediaIE still no broadband in Dublin 9. What happened to the 20:30 repair time you have last night?

The private jet lobby created a legal loophole for celebrities to hide their flights - and now ICE is using that same loophole to hide mass deportation flights.

What stage of the authoritarianism is this? https://t.co/DNxFV5cojt

"We conquer, cleanse, and stay... On the way, we annihilate everything that still remains... The IDF... leaves nothing standing... We're breaking Gaza apart, leaving it as a pile of rubble, total unprecedented destruction."

From the backlog, May 19: Bezalel Smotrich, Israel's Minister of Finance and de-facto governor of the West Bank, describes the current situation in Gaza and the plan for the near future.

"In Russia, you would be arrested", von der Leyen tells a protestor as he's being arrested.

ITV pulling zero punches in this incredible footage - "This landscape of destruction looks otherworldy, but it's not, it's this world - What is happening may come to define one of its darkest eras, one that casts a stain on humanity, which will endure for generations" #Gaza

Denying Gaza's starvation is no less vile than denying the Holocaust https://t.co/1g6aHoei8k.

It is simply remarkable how much the recent pivots to condemning Israel are premised on fabricating a recent watershed, on summoning a new history of events. Hind Rajab was killed a year and a half ago. The ICJ case was filed in 2023.

[Saul Staniforth @SaulStaniforth]

"At least 9 people were killed, including 7 children"

This clip is from Oct 2023. It was clear from the start what Israel was doing & what they intended to do. Why wasn't Hazarika condemning Israel then? If Israel hadn't been given impunity for 21mths we wouldn't be here now
