Letter from Israeli hostage to Hamas members before being released:
“To the generals who have accompanied me for the last few weeks... it looks like we will part ways tomorrow, but I thank you from the bottom of my heart.
I am grateful for the extraordinary humanity you showed to my daughter Emilia. You were like her parents, inviting her into your room whenever she wanted. She felt that you were all not just friends, but real, kind-hearted loved ones.
Thank you, thank you, thank you... Thank you for the hours you spent with her. Thank you for being patient with her and spoiling her with sweets and fruits.
Children should not be in war zones, but thanks to you and the other kind people we met along the way, my daughter saw herself as a queen in Gaza.
We did not meet a single person who did not treat us with kindness, care and love.
I will forever be a prisoner of gratitude towards you because my daughter did not leave here with any lasting psychological trauma. I will remember your kindness despite your difficult situation and the heavy losses you suffered in Gaza.
I wish you all and your families health and love, thank you very much.”
Danielle and Emilia

Financial Times: How China is tearing down Islam
Thousands of mosques have been altered or destroyed as Beijing’s suppression of Islamic culture spreads.
Beijing’s Doudian Mosque, with its striking domes and ornate minarets, was one of the grandest mosques in northern China.
But earlier this year, its minarets were removed, its domes replaced with pagoda-style cones and its Arab-style arches squared off.
Mosque demolitions and modifications have been documented in Xinjiang, the northwestern region where hundreds of thousands of Turkic Muslims have been detained, and there has been some evidence of architectural changes elsewhere.
But the Financial Times has now found that Beijing’s crackdown on Islam has spread to almost every region of the country.
A visual investigation based on satellite images of thousands of mosques before and after modification reveals a widespread policy of stripping buildings of Arabic features, and in some cases replacing them with traditional Chinese designs. Some have even been torn down.
An analysis of 2,312 mosques once featuring Islamic architecture shows that three-quarters have been modified or destroyed since 2018.
