In Israel, some residents are scared to speak out about the war
TEL AVIV — In Israel, amid the trauma of the 7 October attacks by Hamas and the subsequent Israeli military offensive in Gaza, a silencing of dissenting voices has ensued.Palestinians there have told Euronews they fear arrest if they were accused of speaking out about the war -- including liking or sharing messages on social media platforms.Critical Israelis, including university lecturers, journalists, and politicians, said they have already been targeted just one month into the conflict.Arab-Israeli politician Aida Touma-Suleiman, who has condemned Hamas' attack on Israelis, said she was prevented from showing similar compassion to Palestinians in Gaza.“I don’t have walks with my grandchildren anymore because I don’t want anyone to know they’re my grandchildren,” she told...

Gaza hospitals are not battlegrounds; children’s suffering must stop, say UN humanitarians
GAZA — Children have been killed, maimed, abducted and denied assistance in Gaza, and the parties to the conflict must “stop this horror”, UN Children’s Fund (UNICEF) chief Catherine Russell said during a visit to the enclave as humanitarian operations there ground to a halt on Wednesday for lack of fuel.Her comments came amid reports on Wednesday morning of an ongoing Israeli Defense Forces raid inside Gaza City’s Al-Shifa hospital, where patients including premature babies have died over the course of the past days after incubators and other life-saving equipment lost power.“Hospitals are not battlegrounds,” UN relief chief Martin Griffiths wrote on social platform X, insisting that “the protection of newborns, patients, medical staff and all civilians must override all...

Hostages' fates haunt Israel as war intensifies
JERUSALEM — Their smiling faces look down from the sides of skyscrapers, walls between Tel Aviv's restaurants and bars and a giant video screen at a shopping mall entrance.More than 240 hostages were snatched at gunpoint on 7 October from their homes or workplaces next to the Gaza Strip, from military bases and a big outdoor dance party.They included some 30 children, the youngest just nine months old. But since Hamas gunmen spirited them away to Gaza, the fates of most remain unknown.For Israelis reeling from last month's bloody massacres, it is an ongoing trauma."This is the last photo we have of my aunt. She was taken on a motorcycle by two terrorists," says Eyal Nouri, showing me a picture of Amina Moshe, 72, being driven away from Nir Oz, a kibbutz where she lived...

The aim, according to the Ministry of National Security, is to create teams to respond to future terror incidents.The successes of some volunteer security units in southern Israel, who were able to push Hamas gunmen back on October 7 in certain locales, have attracted new members to the initiative.The Israeli government says around...

Doctors race to save newborns in Gaza’s largest hospital
GAZA — Premature babies at Gaza’s largest hospital are being wrapped in foil and placed next to hot water in a desperate bid to keep them alive in “catastrophic” conditions, the hospital director has warned, as Israeli firepower pounds surrounding streets and remaining fuel reserves dry up, leaving the facility unable to function.Staff at the Al-Shifa hospital were fighting to keep the newborns alive and warm after oxygen supplies ran out and they had to move the babies by hand from the neonatal unit’s incubators to a different part of the hospital. Meanwhile, a reporter for the Al Arabiya network who was inside the hospital told CNN that people were trapped there, too scared to flee due to the heavy fighting.“There is no more water, food, milk for children and babies... the...
