    · Israel’s raid on the Nuseirat refugee camp has caused outrage, with the EU calling it “a massacre”. The death toll has risen to 274 and more than 698 others injured, according to Gaza’s health ministry.

    · Doctors describe the scenes inside Al-Aqsa Hospital in central Gaza as a “complete bloodbath”, with one medic saying the inside of the hospital “looks like a slaughterhouse”. Doctors Without Borders (MSF) says Al-Aqsa and Nasser hospitals are “overwhelmed”.

    · Israeli forces said they rescued four captives held in the attack at the Nuseirat refugee camp amid criticism due to the large number of civilian causalities. One Israeli officer died during the deadly raid.

    · Hamas’s military spokesman says Israel killed captives in its Nuseirat operation, without specifying the circumstances or how many were killed.

    · At least 37,084 people have been killed and 84,494 injured in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from Hamas’s attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.

    Aid deliveries resume from newly-repaired temporary pier to Gaza: US military

    The US Central Command (CENTCOM) says the first aid from a temporary pier has arrived in Gaza since storm damage required repairs to the project.

    It said that crews delivered about 492 tons (about 1.1 million pounds) of food to Gaza via the US-built pier that was operational for only about a week before it was blown apart in high winds and heavy seas on May 25.

    The damaged section was reconnected to the beach in Gaza on Friday after undergoing repairs at an Israeli port.

    At least 6 injured in village near Nablus

    We reported earlier that an attack by Israeli settlers and soldiers on Urif, near Nablus, had left at least one Palestinian teen injured.

    The Palestine Red Crescent says that now the number of injured has risen to six.

    Israeli forces accompany or support settler attacks in almost half of all incidents of violence against Palestinians, according to the UN.

    In over a third of the incidents recorded since October 2023, Israeli settlers threatened Palestinians with firearms, including by opening fire.

    Gaza war had AIPAC sending more money from GOP donors into Democratic races: Report

    According to an analysis by US magazine Politico, the powerful pro-Israel lobby has been spending millions of Republican donors’ money in Democratic primaries to boost moderates over progressives who have been critical of Israel.

    “Israel’s invasion of Gaza, and its mounting civilian casualties, have led even Democrats who have long favoured Israel to question whether the US can continue its level of support,” the report by Politico said.

    “For Republican donors, giving to Democratic candidates in primaries helps ensure more moderate, pro-Israel candidates win in deep-blue seats where the general election is all but certain to be uncompetitive, and financial support for GOP candidates would be a waste.”

    At least one Palestinian injured in Israeli attack on West Bank village near Nablus

    At least one Palestinian has been shot and injured by the Israeli occupation army in the town of Urif, south of Nablus in the occupied West Bank.

    The Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS) said its crews evacuated a 15-year-old boy who was shot in the shoulder by a live round and that his condition is stable.

    Groups of settlers, protected by the Israeli army, stormed the eastern outskirts of the town, assaulted citizens, attacked houses and burned a Palestinian vehicle.
