Hamas chief Haniyeh’s sister among 10 reported killed in attack on Shati camp. Two other attacks on schools kill at least 14 people.
A high risk of famine remains in Gaza as more than 495,000 Palestinians experiencing “catastrophic” food shortages.
At least 10 Palestinians, including guards securing aid trucks, killed in an Israeli attack on people seeking aid supplies in Khan Younis.
At least 37,658 people killed and 86,237 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza since October 7. The revised death toll in Israel from the Hamas-led attacks stands at 1,139, with dozens of people still held captive in Gaza.
An Israeli military court has extended the detention of Rasha Hirzallah, a Nablus-based journalist working for the Palestinian news agency Wafa, until 11 August.
She was initially placed under administrative detention – without charge or a trial – in early June for alleged incitement on social media platforms. Her detention order has been extended twice so far since then.
According to the Palestinian Prisoner’s Society and the Commission for Detainees’ Affairs, Israeli authorities detained the journalist and interrogated her on June 2, and placed her under administrative detention.
The Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR), the nation’s largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organisation, has questioned whether the Biden administration has a “shred of humanity” as the Israeli war on Gaza rages on.
“Israel, with the complicity of the Biden administration, has already slaughtered more than 37,000 Palestinians in Gaza, mostly women and more than 14,000 children. Israeli forces and illegal settlers have killed 54 Palestinian children in the occupied West Bank in 2024 alone,” CAIR said in a statement.
“One has to question whether the Biden administration has a shred of humanity left when President Biden and his top officials enable the starvation and daily massacres – including burning Palestinian babies alive – resulting from his continuing support for the far-right Israeli government’s genocide and do nothing to end the suffering,” said Nihad Awad, CAIR’s national executive director.
The International Federation of Red Cross and Red Crescent Societies has urged for the opening of “all available corridors for a continuous and expanded flow of humanitarian aid” and the release of all captives in Gaza.
“We take no side other than the side of humanity,” it said in a post on X. “Protect civilians, healthcare workers and facilities.”
The killing, detention and enforced disappearance of health workers has had a devastating impact on the people of Gaza, the UN Human Rights Office has said, decrying the reported killing of 500 health workers since October 7.
“These killings have occurred against the backdrop of systematic attacks on hospitals and other medical facilities in violation of the laws of war,” the OHCHR said.
The latest health worker killed was Hani al-Jaafarwi, head of emergency and ambulance services at a health clinic in Gaza City on June 23. Many health workers have also died with their family members when residential buildings were struck by the Israeli army.
“Health workers have been subjected to other serious violations under international humanitarian and human rights law during this period. Our office has gathered credible information that [Israeli military] raids on hospitals have often led to mass detention and enforced disappearances, including of medical staff,” it said in a statement.
It cited arrests of health personnel, including hospital directors, at al-Awda and Kamal Adwan hospitals in North Gaza, al-Shifa Medical Complex in Gaza City, and al-Amal Hospital in Khan Younis.
“Some released health workers have alleged they were subjected to torture and other forms of ill-treatment in Israeli custody. Two Palestinian doctors, Dr Adnan Al Bursh of Al Shifa Medical Complex and Dr Iyad Al Rantisi of Kamal Adwan Hospital, reportedly died in [Israeli military] detention in Gaza as a result of torture and ill-treatment,” the UN agency said.
The Jordanian military has said it carried out two airdrops of humanitarian and food aid across southern Gaza.
The airdrops included relief and humanitarian assistance “to support the people of Gaza in light of the ongoing Israeli war on the strip”, said the military in a statement.
The airdrop operation involved one aircraft from the Royal Jordanian Air Force and another from Egypt.
Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, the Jordanian Armed Forces have conducted 109 airdrops and 263 airdrops in cooperation with partner countries.

These soldiers are from a country whose president is a Jew Zelensky. Orthodox churches are also being destroyed in this country. Synagogues are not touched. Surprisingly, it turns out that Jews get along well with the Bandera Nazis.
