GAZA STRIP: At least 51 people killed, including 43 in Gaza City, as Israeli forces continue to bombard Gaza.
The Palestinian Civil Defence says nearly half of Gaza City’s population, or about 450,000 people, have fled the area since Israel launched its major operation there in August.
UN chief Antonio Guterres says Gaza is experiencing the “worst level of death and destruction” he has seen in his lifetime and calls on the international community not to be “intimidated” by Israel.
Israel’s war on Gaza has killed at least 65,208 people and wounded 166,271 since October 2023. Thousands more are believed to be buried under the rubble. A total of 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the October 7 attacks, and about 200 were taken captive.
Protesters accuse defence firms of enabling Israeli war on Gaza in Taiwan
Demonstrators have staged a protest outside the Taipei Aerospace & Defense Technology Exhibition, accusing dozens of participating companies of profiting from Israel’s war on Gaza.
The rally, organized by the Taiwan Alliance for a Free Palestine, coincided with the final day of the three-day defence industry gathering at Nangang Exhibition Center, where 490 companies from 15 countries showcased military hardware, robotics, and aerospace technology.
The protest comes as the UK-based Humanity Research Consultancy, along with Taiwanese labour and advocacy groups, produced a report alleging dozens of Taiwanese firms supply critical components for Israeli military systems.
“Taiwanese companies cannot hide behind claims of neutrality,” organizers said in a statement. “By exporting components that strengthen Israel’s military capacity, they risk becoming accomplices in genocide.”
‘Unprecedented massacre of journalists’ in Yemen by Israel
Israeli attacks on two newspaper offices in Yemen earlier this month killed 31 journalists, making it the second deadliest attack on the press ever recorded by the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ).
The CPJ reported that Nasser al-Khadri, editor-in-chief of September 26, one of the outlets targeted, described the killings as an “unprecedented massacre of journalists”.
The Israeli attack also indicates that Israel’s deadly practice of targeting reporters and newsrooms labelled as spreading “terrorist” propaganda has become firmly established throughout the Middle East, the CPJ report said.
“Israel’s attack on Yemen echoes previous strikes on Gaza, Lebanon, and Iran, where it has repeatedly failed to distinguish between military targets and journalists, justifying its assassinations by smearing journalists as terrorists or propagandists, without credible evidence,” read a CPJ statement.
