Gazans endure deadly weekend of Israeli strikes as UN chief laments ‘inexcusable’ destruction
GAZA — Palestinians in Gaza are reeling from a series of devastating Israeli attacks that have renewed focus on the high number of civilian casualties and widespread destruction caused by what Israel calls targeted strikes against Hamas.Multiple United Nations officials have described harrowing scenes in the crowded strip following large-scale Israeli strikes in recent days, including of child amputees unable to receive medical treatment after being bombed in so-called safe zones, while the UN chief said the devastation was “incomprehensible and inexcusable” and reiterated calls for the fighting to end.“We never lived in fear like this. There was blood everywhere,” Gaza resident Ruwaida Issa told a CNN stringer at a school sheltering displaced people that was hit by a double...

Smoke rises following an Israeli airstrike in the central Gaza Strip
Israel orders evacuation of all Palestinians from Gaza City
JERUSALEM — The Israeli military has told all Palestinians to leave Gaza City and head southward as it escalates its offensive across the northern, southern, and central regions of the territory.Israel informed people in Gaza of the evacuation order by dropping leaflets urging “all those in Gaza City” to take two “safe routes” south to the area around the central town of Deir al-Balah. Gaza City, it said, will “remain a dangerous combat zone.”The military had ordered Palestinians to evacuate from eastern and central parts of the city earlier this week, but many stayed put after concluding there was nowhere else to seek refuge in the Gaza Strip.The intensified military action comes as US, Egyptian and Qatari mediators met with Israeli officials in the Qatari capital, Doha, to...

JERUSALEM — The Israeli military has told all residents of Gaza City to evacuate south to the central Gaza Strip, amid an intensified offensive there.Leaflets dropped by aircraft instruct "everyone in Gaza City" to leave what is described as a "dangerous combat zone" via designated safe routes - marked as two roads that lead to shelters in Deir al-Balah and al-Zawaida.The UN has said it is deeply concerned about the evacuation orders being given.Over the past two weeks, Israeli forces have issued evacuation orders for and re-entered several areas of Gaza City where they believe Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad have regrouped since the start of the year.The fighting is continuing as indirect negotiations over a potential ceasefire and hostage release deal between...

Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese
Australia appoints special envoys as antisemitism, Islamophobia rise over Gaza war
BRISBANE — The Australian government is appointing the country’s first envoys to fight antisemitism and Islamophobia in an attempt to prevent further fraying of social cohesion over the war in Gaza.Announcing the positions on Tuesday, Prime Minister Anthony Albanese said that conflict between Israel and Hamas in the Middle East had caused “a great deal of grief” for Jewish and Islamic communities in Australia.“Australians overwhelmingly do not want conflict brought here. What they want here is harmony and for people to be able to get on with each other,” he said.The appointments come amid protests in Australia and dissent within the ranks of Albanese’s ruling Labor Party over a war that has cost tens of thousands of lives and displaced more than 2 million people in Gaza.More...

The Iranian frigate Sahand capsized in the port of Bandar Abbas over the weekend
Iranian warship rolls over in port, could be out of action for six months
TEHRAN — One of Iran’s newest warships capsized in port over the weekend while undergoing repairs, an incident that could damage key warfighting systems and put the ship out of commission for up to half a year, a naval analyst said.The 311-foot-long frigate Sahand was at a dock in the port of Bandar Abbas when it “lost its balance” after water leaked into its tanks, according to a report from the state-run Islamic Republic News Agency (IRNA).A photo from the semi-official Tasnim News Agency showed the warship, with a displacement of about 2,000 tons, resting on its left side in the Bandar Abbas port.The ship, which Tasnim said entered service in December 2018, is one of the bigger vessels in Iran’s fleet, equipped with antiship cruise missiles and an electronic warfare...
