Two evacuations, from the Sinai and Gaza, and the stigma of betrayal wound up bringing Riad El Shtiwi to a town without a name in the Negev desert

Negotiations resume in Doha on Thursday with the aim of defusing the promised responses from Tehran and Hezbollah to the assassinations of Hamas’ political leader and the Lebanese militia’s number two

The Argentine-Israeli, who spent 129 days with his captors, says he was treated with a mix of trust, caution and psychological warfare

The young men of Rmeish recently expelled suspected Hezbollah militiamen who were preparing attacks against Israel, an incident that took on a national dimension

Missiles fired by the Lebanese fundamentalist militia reached Tiberias, 25 miles from the border, where 12,000 evacuees are being put up in hotels. The displaced see only one option: open war

The fundamentalist militia fired around 170 rockets at targets over the border in response to the Israeli army killing a high-ranking military commander

Israeli authorities have not issued documents to humanitarian helpers, nor renewed existing ones, since the war in Gaza began eight months ago

Israel admits nearly 100 people were killed in Saturday’s operation in the Nuseirat refugee camp, while the Hamas-controlled Ministry of Health puts the number at 274, including dozens of children and women

The facility, run by UNRWA, housed people displaced by the war. The Hamas government in the Strip places the toll at 40, including 14 children. The Israeli army says the ‘precision’ airstrike targeted between 20 and 30 Hamas and Islamic Jihad militiamen

The Palestinian prime minister is seeking backing from the EU and Arab countries for a new reform plan to end corruption in the PNA and for his government to manage the post-war Strip

The attack caused a fire that spread through the precarious metal and plastic constructions. Most of the victims are women and children. It is one of the areas Israel designated a ‘humanitarian’ zone, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent

Israel itself has resurrected support for Palestinian self-determination through its actions in the Strip, in one of its biggest diplomatic setbacks at a time when its reputation is increasingly in decline

The flight of 450,000 people from Rafah after seven months of forced displacement in the Strip provides the backdrop to a particularly symbolic anniversary of the expulsion seven decades ago

The government has declared as ‘state land’ an area of unparalleled size in the three last decades, while the far-right finance minister has issued a decree to connect 60 settlements that NGOs describe as ‘back-door legalization’

The IDF has launched another assault on Jabalia, the refugee camp where it claimed victory over the militias last December. Washington has warned its ally of the risk of getting bogged down in an ‘enduring insurgency’

The restrained Israeli response allows both countries to save face and claim achievements in deterring the enemy, in a sort of return to the covert war they had been waging until the bombing of Damascus that triggered the escalation

The target of the operation, a response to the Iranian attack last weekend, was Isfahan, where the heart of the country’s nuclear program is located. The International Atomic Energy Agency confirmed that no nuclear facilities were damaged. Tehran says it has shot down three drones and is downplaying the situation

The Israeli armed forces have called up thousands of reservists and are preparing ‘operational activities’ in the last refuge in Gaza. Netanyahu can now frame the ground offensive as punishment for Tehran’s actions

Anti-aircraft batteries and jets from the U.S., the U.K. and Jordan shot down 170 drones and 30 cruise missiles. Only a few of the over 120 ballistic missiles fired in the attack reached Israeli territory

The nation’s dependence on the United States and its distrust of Tehran outweighed the protests, sparked by the invasion of Gaza, over its peace agreement with the Jewish state

The country is reopening its airspace after the unprecedented early morning attack. All eyes are now on Netanyahu’s expected retaliation and the role the United States will play

Israeli authorities urge the EU to immediately declare the Revolutionary Guard a terrorist organization. Experts feel Tehran may be buying time with a move that it feels is not serious enough to legitimize retaliation by Israel

Lufthansa has stopped flying to Iran for security reasons after an Israeli attack in Damascus last week triggered an announcement by the Ayatollah Khamenei that punishment is imminent

Netanyahu’s objectives continue to fail, the risk of conflict with Iran is growing, there are 130,000 evacuees with no prospects of returning, and the country’s prestige is in tatters. Tens of thousands of protesters are now calling for the prime minister to resign

Netanyahu is keeping a low profile as the White House demands ‘concrete, verifiable and sustainable’ changes to prevent a repeat of the attack on World Central Kitchen, in which seven aid workers were killed

An internal IDF investigation found that its forces targeted the convoy ‘based on the misclassification of the event and misidentification of the vehicles as having Hamas operatives inside them’

The suspension of activities by the NGOs World Central Kitchen and Anera raises fears of a domino effect on other organizations operating in the Strip
