Israel is reportedly reducing its use of heavy machinery like bulldozers and excavators in South Lebanon as they tend to be easy targets for Hizballah, @JonElmer reports.

Zionism must be smashed to pieces
There are moments in Gaza when suffering becomes so ordinary that people stop asking for solutions. They begin asking only for the smallest relief. A little less pain. A child who sleeps through the night. When I entered the clinic that morning, I noticed a young woman carrying a baby so small that I could not tell whether the child was a newborn or simply made tiny by hardship. When her turn came, she gently placed the baby on my desk and said: “I want any cream you have.” Any cream. Not a specific medicine. Not a particular treatment. Just anything. She uncovered the baby and showed me the severe rash covering much of the child’s fragile skin. “I treat the baby with whatever free creams I can find in clinics,” she explained. “Anything helps.” As she spoke, I noticed something else. The baby was not wearing a diaper. Only pieces of cloth. I asked why. “I can’t afford diapers,” she replied calmly. “I wash these and use them again.” Then she added that they were living in a tent and that her husband had suffered a serious foot injury and was unable to work. “I’m not asking for much,” she said. “I only want a cream.” But what caught my attention most was not the rash. It was the malnutrition. The baby was severely underweight. The kind of malnutrition that is visible before any examination even begins. So I asked the mother whether she had noticed. She nodded. “Yes, I know.” Then she said something I cannot forget: “When the baby gets older, things will get better.” Not because she truly believed it. But because hope was cheaper than treatment. And treatment was something she could no longer afford. That was the moment that broke me. Not the tent. Not the poverty. Not even the illness. But the fact that this mother had lowered her expectations so much that she no longer dreamed of proper medical care, diapers, or adequate nutrition. She came asking for the smallest thing she could imagine. A tube of cream. Any cream. Something that might make the baby hurt a little less. The baby could not have been more than five months old. Too young to understand war. Too young to understand poverty. Yet already carrying both on that tiny body. There is something profoundly cruel about a world in which a mother’s greatest hope for her child is no longer a better future. Only a little less suffering tonight. #WoundedGaza

All of them are gone. This photo captures one of Gaza’s countless stories of collective loss. Every person in this picture has been killed. The last was Muawiya, killed this morning when an Israeli strike hit him while he was working at the Bureij municipality landfill. In Gaza, ask anyone how many loved ones they have lost, and most will answer with a two-digit number.

Jeremy Johnson - in 50 years time this will be the only 1.39 minutes of your life you'll be remembered for. It'll be played in genocide museums to sum up the complicity and callous brutality of the British state in the face of the slaughter of the Palestinian people - and the courage of those who opposed it.
Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial. Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

Apartheid South Africa and Nazi Germany needed compliant judges to provide a legal veneer to their darkest crimes. Judge Johnson joins their wretched company. He overturned a jury's conviction of four anti-genocide activists for criminal damage and sentenced them as terrorists instead. As one their barristers pointed out, the four defendants were initially arrested by police on suspicion of involvement in an act of terrorism. But the prosecution decided not to charge them with terrorism offences because it knew no jury would ever convict them based on the evidence. Instead the Crown held two trials: a sham one for the jury, and the real one conducted in secret by the judge. That is not justice. It is a show trial worthy of the worst tyrannical regimes.
Here’s injustice Jeremy Johnson handing down the sentences at today’s disgusting stitched up Palestine Action trial. Any faith I ever had in the fairness of the British justice system is completely is dead.

Tom Wainwright, one of the defence barristers, said of the destruction of drones: “They may have been involved in taking the lives of men, women and children in Gaza. That is why they acted. That’s something that – in a sane world – would be commended.” theguardian.com/uk-news/2026…

While the world celebrates and watches the World Cup, just a short while ago I was on duty at Al-Shifa Hospital receiving and treating victims injured in an Israeli strike that occurred at dawn, while people were asleep in their homes. I witnessed the casualties firsthand, and the injuries were severe and heartbreaking. While some wake up to celebration, others wake up to explosions, loss, and fear. 💔

The World Cup hosts have done this. Remember this before you watch or go to any match. Shame on those who tolerate this for their desires. May it haunt you endlessly.
بيننا وبينهم جبالُ جثث، وأنهار حقد، ومقل مفقوعة، وأطراف مبتوره، وأطفال ميتمة، وعوائل أبيدت، وقرى هجرت، وبحار من الدموع، ومجرات تملأها الآهات، وضحكات أطفال أطفأت وحزن وحزن وحزن يكفي لعدة أعمار ودمٌ ودمٌ ودم، وثأر طويل...

The purpose of the Israeli prison is not to rectify or punish, it is to completely dismantle the humanity and sanity of the Palestinian; to dismantle the Palestinian’s resolve for his homeland and future. These are death camps.
🚨BREAKING: The first image from the ongoing trial of Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya before Israel’s Supreme Court in occupied Jerusalem reveals a visibly weakened and exhausted man, bearing apparent signs of torture, abuse, and prolonged mistreatment during his detention.
