Israeli attacks on Gaza kill six people despite ‘ceasefire’
World Central Kitchen condemns air strike on aid driver and calls for accountability amid escalating Israeli violence.
Israeli attacks and gunfire across Gaza have killed at least six people as violence persists despite a United States-brokered “ceasefire”, according to Gaza’s Civil Defence agency and health officials.
Two people were killed and several others injured when an Israeli drone struck central Gaza’s Nuseirat camp on Thursday, said Gaza’s Civil Defence. Four others were killed in attacks elsewhere in the Strip.

Gaza hospitals confirmed receiving the bodies of six people killed in the attacks.
Two of them were killed when an Israeli drone hit the courtyard of a home in the Batn as-Sameen area of southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, medical sources told the Anadolu news agency. The bodies of the victims were taken to Nasser Hospital.
Another Israeli strike hit a busy street of Gaza City, killing one person and injuring several others on Thursday, the sources added.
Earlier in the day, Gaza’s Ministry of Health said at least eight people had been killed in 24 hours, with 17 others injured. It did not provide additional information on the circumstances of the casualties.
On Wednesday, an Israeli strike on a humanitarian vehicle transporting goods from the Karem Abu Salem (known as Kerem Shalom to Israelis) crossing to a warehouse in Gaza killed one person.
The World Central Kitchen (WCK), one of the main organisations delivering food to Palestinians in need, said the driver – identified as Ahmad Nasser Saleem – was killed.
“Humanitarian aid deliveries should never be a target,” WCK said in a statement, adding that it was in contact with the driver’s family and expressed its condolences. It said it expects a full accounting by Israel of the attack.
Hari Ini Dalam Sejarah....
ReplyDelete(Raoul was admitted into Yad Vashem...)
On July 9, 1944, as Hungarian Jews were being deported to Auschwitz at an industrial pace, a young Swedish diplomat named Raoul Wallenberg stepped off a train in Budapest and began one of the most extraordinary rescue missions of the Holocaust.
Armed with little more than courage, diplomatic papers, and sheer audacity, Wallenberg issued thousands of protective Swedish passports, rented safe houses, and personally intervened at train stations and death marches — often staring down Nazi and Arrow Cross officers to pull Jews off trains bound for the gas chambers.
He is credited with saving tens of thousands of lives in just a few months. One survivor recalled him standing on the tracks, shouting “I am a Swedish diplomat!” while ripping people from the cattle cars. Wallenberg wasn’t Jewish. He had no personal stake except a deep sense of moral duty. He told colleagues he was determined to “do everything in his power” to stop the slaughter.
His fate remains a tragedy — arrested by the Soviets after the war and never seen again. But his legacy endures as a shining example of what one person of conscience can achieve against evil.
In a time of mass indifference and complicity, Wallenberg chose action. His story is a reminder that heroism is still possible — even when the odds are overwhelming.

FREYA is the Reason….
ReplyDeleteWhy is the USA allowing Ukraine to build Patriots under license?
It's not altruism. It's because Ukrainians, who have according to US sources already improved the Patriots, are on the cusp of making their own version—which could eventually rival the US products on the international market.
That's why the USA will allow Ukraine to make Patriots. Business.
But that's fine. Better to use business than nothing to defend the free world.
FREYA Is The Reason.
This week, President Trump announced the US will allow Ukraine to build Patriot missiles. If you were surprised, you weren’t paying attention.
The defense tech coming out of Ukraine is staggering, both quality and scale. As stated before, European nations have been acquiring much of this tech while US leadership continued the ‘Ukraine has no cards,’ mantra.
Weeks ago, Ukraine announced it will build a Patriot-like system called Freya. It appears the White House finally woke up.
Freya is a threat to the US defense industrial base. A Ukraine built Freya air defense system will be (a) less expensive, (b) built at volume, (c) unencumbered by US military foreign sales backlogs / red tape and more. It will harm Patriot sales in Europe (and beyond), reduce Raytheon’s bottom line and be another example of strengthening European security (and weakening US).
Hence, Trump has offered Ukraine the IP and rights to build Patriot missiles. Frankly, it’s a salvage operation. While not optimal, Ukraine built Patriot missiles will generate a small revenue stream back into Raytheon pockets, albeit likely not the pockets of its workforce… some of which will possibly lose their jobs.
And this is why many like myself have been so critical of the US position. Ukraine’s defense tech boom is akin to the California gold rush. The Europeans have spent a year panning for gold, and Trump’s team is only beginning to assemble their wagon train in DC.
