Footage shows emergency response in Eilat, Israel on September 24
Yemen drone attack injures more than 20 in Israeli city of Eilat
JERUSALEM — At least 22 people were injured, including two seriously, after a drone fired from Yemen hit the city of Eilat in southern Israel on the Red Sea coast on Wednesday, Israeli officials said.Video and images from emergency responders and the Israeli military appear to show the drone landing near stores and restaurants. The drone was fired during the final hours of the holiday of Rosh Hashanah, which marks the Jewish new year.The Iran-backed Houthis have repeatedly launched drones and ballistic missiles at Eilat and other areas in southern Israel, but these launches are frequently intercepted. It’s unclear how Wednesday’s drone penetrated Israel’s air defenses.“Interception attempts were made, and search and rescue teams are operating in the area where the report was...

MADRID – In separate decisions on Wednesday, Spain and Italy announced they would send a navy ship each to assist the aid flotilla to the famine-stricken Gaza, set to break Israel's longstanding blockade of the Strip and deliver crucial aid.Rome and Madrid's decisions were in response to the latest attack late on Tuesday when activists reported "at least 13 explosions," while drones or aircraft dropped "unidentified objects" on at least 10 boats.On Wednesday, Italy condemned the attack by "currently unidentified perpetrators" and deployed Fasan multi-purpose frigate for potential rescue operations to assist mainly Italian citizens participating in the flotilla, Italy's Defence Minister Guido Crosetto said.

Casualties from Israeli strikes overwhelm Gaza City medics
GAZA — Doctors at one of Gaza City's last functioning hospitals say they are overwhelmed with casualties from Israeli strikes and are having to carry out operations in filthy conditions with few or no anaesthetics.One Australian medic volunteering at al-Shifa hospital told the BBC that every day was a mass casualty event, while another described how a baby had been saved from the body of a pregnant woman who had been decapitated.Israeli forces are now just 500m (1,640ft) away from the hospital as they expand their ground offensive to fully occupy Gaza City, which Israel's military calls Hamas's "main stronghold".Witnesses say tanks are advancing into the city centre from the south and north-west.Israeli air and artillery strikes, attacks by quadcopter drones and...

Australia journalist unfairly fired over Gaza post awarded A$150,000
SYDNEY — Australia's national broadcaster has been ordered to pay A$150,000 (£73,435.50, $99,200) in penalties for unfairly sacking a presenter over a social media post about the war in Gaza.The Australian Broadcasting Corporation (ABC) removed fill-in radio host Antoinette Lattouf from the air in December 2023 due to her political views and after lobbying from pro-Israel groups, the Federal Court found earlier this year.Lattouf has already been awarded A$70,000 in damages, but on Wednesday Justice Darryl Rangiah said the "substantial" extra sum was needed to ensure the ABC learned its lesson.The broadcaster has publicly apologised to Lattouf, saying it also failed its staff and audiences.Lattouf's dismissal triggered a wave of public outrage and created turmoil at the...

JERUSALEM – Israel will close the Allenby border crossing between the West Bank and Jordan on Wednesday, the Palestinian General Authority for Borders and Crossings said in a statement on Tuesday.It was not immediately clear why Israel was closing the only checkpoint between the two, but it is reportedly to remain shut until further notice.The Israel Airports Authority, which manages the crossing, said on Monday that it had reopened for passenger traffic days after a truck driver from Jordan killed two Israeli soldiers in a gun and knife attack.Jordan's Public Security Directorate said the crossing, known in Jordan as the King Hussein Bridge, was closed to passenger and freight traffic coming from the Israeli-occupied West Bank until further notice.The Allenby Crossing is the primary...

Clashes break out as Italians strike demanding action over Gaza
MILAN – Clashes broke out on Monday after thousands of Italians took to the streets in towns and cities across their country in a day of solidarity with Palestinians co-ordinated by trade unions.Milan and Rome saw the biggest crowds and tensions spilled over around the central station in Milan where some 60 police were reported hurt.Italy's prime minister, Giorgia Meloni, who has come under fire from political opponents for her position on Gaza, condemned the scenes in Milan as shameful.Although she has become increasingly critical of Israel's offensive in Gaza, Meloni has not gone as far as France in deciding to formally recognise a Palestinian state.President Emmanuel Macron described his country's decision later on Monday as a "necessity".Coming hard on the heels...
