Israel to demolish 25 homes in occupied West Bank’s Nur Shams camp

The International Criminal Court (ICC) has rejected Israel's attempt to block an investigation into alleged war crimes committed during the ongoing conflict in Gaza. This decision comes amidst increasing international scrutiny regarding the humanitarian crisis resulting from Israel's military actions in the region.

Civil Defence teams in Gaza have managed to recover 20 bodies of Palestinians from the rubble of collapsed buildings, a challenging task exacerbated by severe winter storms that have struck the region. The harsh weather conditions have made rescue operations increasingly difficult, highlighting the precarious situation faced by many in the area.

Israel has intensified its demolition of buildings in Gaza, as evidenced by satellite images showing ongoing destruction behind the newly established 'yellow line.' Experts have raised concerns that these actions may violate the Geneva Convention, which protects civilian structures during conflicts.

Recent storms in Gaza have led to the collapse of war-damaged buildings, resulting in civilian casualties and heightened fears among the Palestinian population. The destruction has exacerbated the already precarious living conditions for many families still recovering from ongoing conflict.

A mass shooting occurred during a Hanukkah celebration at Bondi Beach in Sydney, resulting in at least 15 fatalities and numerous injuries. The attack, attributed to a father-son duo, has been classified as a terrorist act by Australian authorities, marking a significant escalation in violence against the Jewish community in Australia.

The ongoing conflict in Gaza has severely impacted education, with most schools and universities bombed, leaving students unable to attend classes for years. Many have resorted to online studies, while around three hundred applicants await responses for scholarships to study in France, hoping for a chance to escape the devastation.

Joseph Downing, a senior lecturer at Aston University, noted that this incident reflects the long history of persecution faced by Jews and criticized Israeli leaders for their claims that Australia is not doing enough to combat antisemitism, suggesting these criticisms are aimed at a domestic audience.

Civil defense crews in Gaza are engaged in rescue operations for Palestinians trapped under buildings that collapsed due to heavy rain and ongoing conflict. The storm has exacerbated the already precarious living conditions in the region, where many structures were previously damaged by warfare.
