NEWS & HEADLINES FROM GAZA:

For some basic info on the Palestine-Israel conflict, go here. For more critical context, skim this, this, and this. To read about a remarkable but underreported, 20-month-long peaceful protest in Gaza against Israel, go here.

IMPORTANT NOTE: The number of Palestinians being killed in Gaza is lower since the October 2025 “ceasefire” began, over 330 days ago – about 4 per day, vs. over 100 per day during the 733 days of the “war.” But Israel is actively working (with Trump’s “Board of Peace“) to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its Palestinian population, even as the low-level killing continues. Genocide experts, along with organizations like the United Nations and Amnesty International, maintain that the genocide is ongoing.

Nine Palestinians, including four from the same family, were killed Thursday and others injured in Israeli attacks in the Gaza Strip despite a ceasefire, according to medical sources.

Palestinian sources identified the family as Momen Abdul-Rahman Ahmad, his wife, Haneen Mousa Fares Saleh, and their daughters, 12-year-old Lana and 8-year-old Bana.

Gaza official says 22,000 Palestinians need treatment abroad*, wants evacuation of 1,000 daily: The government spokesman accused Israel of pursuing a policy of “deliberate procrastination and slow death” against patients by restricting medical evacuations.

*NOTE: According to World Health Organization data, since the October 2025 ceasefire, 3,015 patients and 5,220 companions have left Gaza for medical treatment, an average of 9 per day. The World Health Organization called for 50 patients per day.

Widespread Poverty in Gaza Is Forcing Children to Become Breadwinners: “Here I am, thousands of miles away from my dreams,” said one 14-year-old.

Gaza amputees to Adidas: You ignored the victims and celebrated the killer: Palestinian athletes accuse sportswear company of ignoring Gaza’s amputees and honoring a former soldier, as thousands struggle to access prosthetic limbs and rehabilitation.

RELATED: BDS co-founder dismisses as ’empty talk’ Adidas apology over Israeli soldier campaign: ‘The fact that Palestine is home to the highest number of child amputees in the world makes this marketing choice even more obscene,’ Omar Barghouti tells Anadolu.

‘Everything is difficult’: Gaza amputees talk about life without limbs and vital support: Around 980 children in Gaza have had amputations since the start of Israel’s assault, while prosthetics and medical care remain restricted.

NEWS & HEADLINES FROM ISRAEL:

Israel is a tiny country, about the size of New Jersey, with a population smaller than the US state of Georgia – about 10 million (of which about 20 percent are Palestinians), yet it is in the news constantly. As has been demonstrated again and again, however, mainstream media rarely covers Israel news accurately. IAK gets the facts – sometimes from Israeli media sites, where we can get a glimpse inside this country that is rife with turmoil and contradictions, and that receives $63 million a day from America.

ISRAELI MEDIA: 3,000 Students in Bedouin Israeli Village Lack Electricity Since Start of School Year: The parents’ association decided not to send their children to school until the problem is resolved. ‘When 30 students sit in a classroom without ventilation, the temperature can reach 45 degrees Celsius (113 Farenheit) inside the classroom,’ the chairman said.

ISRAELI MEDIA: Rabbi Indicted for Racist Incitement Over Claims Arab Doctors Harm IDF Soldiers: The indictment quoted Meir David Shmueli asking the attendees at a Torah lesson: “Do you know how many Arab doctors, may their names be erased and their memory perish, there are in hospitals?” He added, “They see a soldier, they cut off his hand, cut off his leg. They want to kill them. What do you think, they don’t kill them? They kill every Jew*.”

*NOTE: This is a fundamental distortion of reality, shared by millions who assume they understand Palestinians’ animosity toward Israel: they believe Palestinians are simply consumed with irrational Jew-hatred. In reality, Palestinian resistance groups (and individuals) are capable of nuance. They recognize the enemy is not the Jewish people, but the supremacist ideology of Zionism – the ideology under which Israel dispossessed 750,000 Palestinian people and sent them into exile. They have said as much again and again.

IRAN, LEBANON, & SYRIA – NEWS & HEADLINES:

IRAN

It can not be overemphasized that Israel is the impetus behind US policies and actions vis-a-vis Iran. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu has been pushing the US to attack Iran for decades, using lies and deception. Under President Trump, he got his wish.

WSJ: Iran Is Producing Ballistic Missiles Again: Intelligence findings say Tehran is assembling stockpiled components into weapons in underground facilities.

Trump says US not attacking Iran ‘in full’ because of midterms: ‘If I had to do it again, I’d do exactly as I did,’ president says, noting he has no regrets over how the Iran war has played out.

Western-backed IAEA resolution sends Iran nuclear case to UN Security Council: US/Israeli bombing of Iran’s nuclear facilities caused disruptions in the UN watchdog’s inspections, which the US and its allies are now using to refer the issue to the UN.

LEBANON

Israel has invaded Lebanon seven times in the last half century. Between 1978 and 2000, Israel maintained an 18-year occupation of southern Lebanon — Hezbollah was formed to fight that occupation.

Israel’s campaign of mass destruction intensifies across south Lebanon: Occupation forces are blowing up more homes and using new methods such as deploying drones to drop explosive-filled barrels onto houses and buildings.

Israeli attacks damage 22.5% of agricultural land in southern Lebanon

Israel said Thursday it demolished key tunnels built by the Iran-backed Hezbollah group beneath the strategic Ali al-Taher ridge in southern Lebanon, with a 4.1 magnitude tremor recorded in the area.

SYRIA

Although Israel is not at war with Syria, the Israeli army has reportedly carried out over 1,600 violations inside Syrian territory since August 2025, and demanded the demilitarization of southern Syria – but also vowed to permanently occupy some areas.

DEATH TOLL – WARS ON IRAN & LEBANON (tentative):
  • United States: 18 since Feb. 28, 2026

UN expert Albanese, protesters warn against Italy’s anti-Semitism* bill: Protesters in Rome and UN Special Rapporteur Francesca Albanese warn proposed law could silence criticism of Israel.

*NOTE: Many world leaders are fearful of being (falsely) accused of antisemitism. Israel’s self-positioning as the global home for Jews is an example of the intentional conflation of Israel with all Jews. This framing makes it easy to insist that criticism of Israel is antisemitic (i.e. that anti-Zionism is antisemitism) – with the ultimate outcome that critics are silenced and Israel enjoys impunity for its actions. 

Israeli leaders and pro-Israel organizations have a long history of conflating Jews with the state of Israel – the so-called “Jewish State” (of which 21% of its residents are non-Jews).

UK sanctions on Israeli settlements include those in Syria’s Golan Heights*, E. Jerusalem

*NOTE: Israel seized the Syrian Golan Heights during the 1967 Middle East war and annexed it in 1981. The United Nations and most of the international community regard the area as occupied Syrian territory and do not recognize Israel’s annexation. In 2019, Trump recognized Israeli sovereignty over the territory, reversing decades of US policy.

The “annexation” of the Golan Heights was specifically condemned by the UN Security Council in Resolution 497 (more here and here).

Britain’s settlement trade ban is cosmetic. For it to work, it must sanction Israel: The UK may end up assisting Tel Aviv by reinforcing a preposterous distinction between ‘illegal’ Jewish settlements and a supposedly ‘law-abiding’ Israel.
