A real massacre’: Israel’s attack on Palestinians in Jenin
Israel’s bloody incursion against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank continues with growing calls for the protection of civilians and fears the tense situation could explode into another devastating war.
The ground-and-air attack on the Jenin refuge camp on Monday was the largest military operation in the occupied territory since the 2000-2005 Second Intifada – or mass Palestinian uprising against Israel’s decades-long occupation.
The ongoing incursion killed at least eight people including two children. A ninth Palestinian was also shot dead by Israeli soldiers near Ramallah.
Nidal Obeidi, the mayor of Jenin, - the attack was “a real massacre and an attempt to wipe out all aspects of life inside the city and the camp”.
“Those being targeted now are not just the resistance fighters but civilians are being killed and wounded as well,”
The municipality of Jenin announced water and electricity services had been cut off from the refugee camp because of ongoing combat. The Palestine Red Crescent said at least 3,000 people were evacuated from Jenin.
Deploying hundreds of forces, attacking from the sky with drones, and launching rockets on the densely populated camp of about 20,000 people, the Israeli military also targeted infrastructure by destroying homes and roads.
The hotbed of resistance against the Israeli occupation has repeatedly been a focus. At least seven Palestinians were killed in an Israeli incursion in Jenin just two weeks ago.
Children killed, journalists targeted
Israeli Foreign Minister Eli Cohen said Tel Aviv is not intending to expand its operation to the rest of the occupied West Bank, but armed confrontations between Israeli troops and Palestinian fighters near the refugee camp continued and the military sent reinforcements.
The two young victims in Jenin were identified as Nouruddin Husam Yousef Marshoud, 15, and 17-year-old Majdi Younis Saud Ararawi, according to the group Defense for Children International–Palestine. The oldest of Monday’s nine victims was 23-year-old Mohammed Muhannad al-Shami.
Several journalists said they were directly targeted by Israeli live fire while reporting on the events in Jenin.
Al Araby TV channel correspondent Ahmed Shehadeh said the army destroyed his camera with gunfire while he and four other journalists were stuck inside one of the homes in the camp for two hours before being evacuated by the Red Crescent.
It was not the first time media members have become victims in Jenin.
Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh, 51, was killed by Israeli soldiers while reporting on a military raid on the camp last year. The Palestinian-American correspondent was shot in the head while wearing a blue flak jacket clearly marked with the word “PRESS”.

Myanmar military regime accused of murdering political prisoners
Myanmar’s military coup leaders have been accused of murdering dozens of political prisoners and in some cases disguising their deaths as escape attempts.
The military removed political prisoners from Kyaiksakaw Prison, in Bago Region’s Daik-U township, on June 27 under the pretence of transferring them, but a total of 37 have since gone missing, the Assistance Association for Political Prisoners (AAPP) – a prominent monitoring group that documents civilian deaths, arrests and extrajudicial killings – said in a statement this week.
The prison authorities repeatedly denied knowing the whereabouts of these prisoners when their families enquired, it added.
Families of two of the “disappeared” detainees later received letters informing them of their deaths. The letters said that a transport vehicle was involved in an accident during the transfer and that the two victims were killed by security forces after they tried to run away.
“Political prisoners removed from Daik-U Prison remain missing without a trace. It is currently unknown whether they are dead or alive. These actions overstep the procedures of prison, along with committing the heinous crime of unjust torture and illegal killings. This is also a blatant violation of the ASEAN Human Rights Convention,” the AAPP said, referring to the Association of Southeast Asian Nations.
More than 23,800 people have been arrested for their opposition to the coup, and almost 20,000 remain arrested, according to AAPP estimates.
Last year, the generals executed four pro-democracy leaders and activists in the country’s first use of the death penalty in decades, triggering worldwide condemnation. Dozens of political prisoners remain on death row.

Israel sets record for illegal settlement approvals: Rights group
Peace Now said that Israel has approved the construction of almost 13,000 housing units in illegal settlements, the most since the group began tracking.
Israel’s far-right government has approved record construction in illegal settlements in the occupied West Bank in its first six months in power, according to the left-wing Israeli movement Peace Now.
The organisation said that the construction of 12,855 settler housing units had been approved across the West Bank since January, the largest number it has recorded since it started tracking such developments in 2012.
Israel’s Higher Planning Council (HPC) met three times this year for the purpose of promoting construction plans, it added.
Settlement expansions have become a top priority for the new government.

Embrace the Power WithiN Be the Catalyst for Change
In a world where challenges abound, the call for transformative action has never been more urgent. The essence of change lies not in waiting for others to act but in taking the initiative ourselves. Each one of us possesses the potential to be the difference we seek, to shape the world we yearn for.
Embracing the role of change-makers, we embark on a journey that goes beyond mere words. "Be the change you want to see in the world" - a timeless wisdom imparted by Mahatma Gandhi - resonates with profound significance. It reminds us that the responsibility for progress lies within each individual, waiting to be awakened and harnessed.
The power to be the catalyst for change lies in recognizing that our actions, however small they may seem, can create ripples that spread far and wide. By choosing to act with kindness, compassion, and understanding, we inspire others to follow suit. Each act of goodness serves as a beacon, illuminating the path for those who yearn to make a difference.
At the heart of being the change is an unwavering commitment to positive values and principles. Integrity, empathy, and inclusivity form the bedrock upon which impactful change is built. As we embody these virtues, we sow the seeds of transformation in the hearts of others, encouraging them to join the movement for a better world.
The journey to effect change begins with introspection - a deep and honest look within ourselves. By acknowledging our imperfections, we open the door to growth and self-improvement. This journey of self-discovery enables us to align our actions with our beliefs and fosters an authentic connection with our purpose.
Just as a single pebble can create ripples that reach distant shores, so too can our actions create a domino effect of positive change. When we act in unity, amplifying the impact of our efforts, we unlock the true potential for progress. Through collective endeavors, we forge a powerful force capable of reshaping the world's trajectory.
Indeed, we must never underestimate the influence we possess as individuals. Each choice we make, every word we speak, and every gesture we extend can inspire others to take action. Our legacy lies not in grand gestures alone but in the myriad of small actions that, when woven together, form the fabric of transformation.
In a world where division and turmoil can sometimes overshadow hope, we must remember that change begins with us. By being the change we wish to see, we pave the way for a brighter, more compassionate world. It is a testament to the indomitable human spirit and the potential for greatness within each of us.
So, let us rise to the occasion, knowing that the power to create positive change lies within our grasp. Be the difference, embody the values you cherish, and ignite the spark of transformation in others. Together, we can weave a tapestry of progress, kindness, and unity, leaving an indelible mark on the world.
Embrace the power within, for you are the change that the world awaits.
