🇵🇸 Devastation Into Dollars: Israeli Startups Are Making a Killing in Gaza
Despite calls across college campuses demanding divestment from Israel, one sector of the Israeli economy appears to be booming. Israeli startups raised over $1 billion in funding for the second straight month in May.
A number of these successful startups have participated in Israel’s ongoing war on the besieged Gaza Strip, suggesting genocide is a lucrative marketing tool for #business. Products like suicide #drones, smart guns, and robot dogs have all been deployed on the battlefield since October 2023, with some startups even exploiting the war to their advantage and touting their #technologies’ use in the war as an advertising boost
Israel’s government-owned and private companies alike have long promoted their weapons as “battle-tested,” with the occupation of Gaza and the West Bank serving as Israel’s homegrown weapons-testing laboratory.

🇵🇸 ‘The livestream was critical evidence’: Tracing attacks on Gaza’s press buildings | +972 Magazine –
According to the Committee for the Protection of Journalists, 103 journalists and #media workers are among the more than 37,000 Palestinian casualties of Israel’s bombardment of the Gaza Strip since October 7.
Faced with the deadliest war for journalists in modern history, Forbidden Stories set out to investigate the targeting of the press in #Gaza and the #WestBank.
The consortium analyzed nearly 100 cases of #journalists and media workers killed in Gaza, as well as other cases in which Israel has allegedly targeted, threatened, or wounded members of the press over the past eight months. Unable to report freely from inside the Strip, consortium members remotely contacted over 120 journalists and witnesses to military activities in Gaza and the West Bank; consulted around 25 ballistics, weapons, and audio experts, including Earshot; and used #satellite images.

🇵🇸 UK has sent 74 war planes from Cyprus to Lebanon since March | Declassified UK
Britain has sent over 80 military transport planes to Lebanon’s capital, Beirut, since the bombing of Gaza began, Declassified can reveal.
All the flights have gone from RAF Akrotiri, Britain’s sprawling air base on Cyprus which has long been a staging post for bombing missions in the Middle East. It sits 150 miles, or 45 minutes flight time, from Beirut.
There has been a steady stream of flights since the Israeli assault on Gaza began in October, but the number rose dramatically in April with 25 flights going from Akrotiri to #Beirut.
May saw the same number of flights, with another 14 so far this month.

🇵🇸 israel approves largest West Bank land grab in three decades
Israeli authorities last month approved the largest seizure of land in the occupied West Bank in over three decades, anti-settlement watchdog Peace Now revealed on 3 July.
The activists said the approval allows for the appropriation of 12.7 square kilometers of land in the Jordan Valley, northeast of the West Bank city of Ramallah. By illegally authorizing their seizure, Tel Aviv is allowing the land to be leased to Israelis and banning private Palestinian ownership.
According to Peace Now, this marks the largest single appropriation approved since the 1993 Oslo Accords. The move comes after the seizure of 8 square kilometers of land in the West Bank in March and 2.6 square kilometers in February.
“2024 marks the peak in the extent of declarations of state land,” Peace Now said in a statement.

🇵🇸 Stories of survival and suffering: inside Gaza’s Al-Aqsa Hospital | Mondoweiss
I arrived at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital on March 2 after surviving an attack that killed 14 members of my family. I was the sole survivor in my family. When I arrived at the hospital I was suffering from pelvic and acetabular fractures that kept me from walking or even standing.
Due to the lack of medical care and staff, I was unable to undergo the surgery I needed. Incapable of walking, I was allowed to stay in the hospital, among the many wounded women and children who were suffering the most.
From my bed in Room 7 on the third floor of Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital I was able to witness the suffering of more than 25 wounded women and children. ..

🇵🇸 ‘More horrific than Abu Ghraib’: Lawyer recounts visit to Israeli detention center | 972mag
The situation there is more horrific than anything we’ve heard about Abu Ghraib and Guantanamo.” This is how Khaled Mahajneh describes the Sde Teiman detention center as the first lawyer to visit the facility. More than 4,000 Palestinians whom Israel arrested in Gaza have been held at the military base in the #Naqab/#Negev since October 7; some of them have subsequently been released, but most remain in Israeli detention.

🇵🇸 An Israeli media investigation reveals that Israeli occupation forces instructed their units to target all vehicles and groups in Israeli settlements and those heading towards Gaza on October 7, using tank and helicopter fire.
This contrasts with Israeli official reports alleging the mass killing of civilian settlers by Hamas, a narrative widely disseminated by Israel and its supporters to justify the ongoing genocide in Gaza.
