Central Gaza has seen yet another bloody night as heavy Israeli bombardment targeted Nuseirat refugee camp. At least 17 people were killed in the attacks on homes accommodating displaced families who had recently evacuated from Rafah, with more people still trapped under the rubble.

Israel’s war of extermination against Gaza has already killed hundreds of family members from the same bloodline, an AP investigation revealed. Analysts reviewed 10 strikes throughout the enclave that resulted in over 500 fatalities. Nearly every Palestinian family has endured multiple losses, with several families being decimated in their entirety.

Meanwhile, Israeli air and ground operations in Rafah persist as Israeli negotiators warn that the war on Gaza will continue even after its invasion of Rafah comes to an end. This comes after Israel rejected the Palestinian resistance groups’ amendments to the UN-backed ceasefire proposal, which the Israeli government has yet to publicly back.

Another night of relentless Israeli attacks across the Gaza Strip has killed at least 24 people and injured 71 in the last 24 hours, according to the enclave’s health ministry. The latest casualties bring the total number of people killed in Gaza since October 7 to at least 37,396, with 85,523 wounded.

In the southern Gaza Strip, al-Mawasi camp was targeted with overnight artillery coupled with air attacks. The area was designated a “safe zone” by the invading Israeli military and the recent attacks targeted a tent camp housing displaced Palestinians.

Amidst Israel’s intensifying operations in southern Gaza’s Rafah city, more than one million people have already fled Rafah to the nearby areas of al-Mawasi, Deir al-Balah, and Khan Younis in recent weeks, according to Oxfam. More than half of those are reportedly residing in al-Mawasi.

At the same time, the UN said that there has been a “drastic deterioration” of aid flows to the south of Gaza in recent weeks.

Kenya’s police arrested hundreds during mass protests against crippling tax reforms in the capital Nairobi. Under the united rallying cry of “Occupy Parliament,” protesters tried to reach Parliament but were harshly pushed back by water cannons and tear gas.

President William Ruto made the first confessions and announced that he would abandon the tax reforms in their current form, which threatened Kenyans with double-digit increases on the most basic necessities like bread.

The government, which is strongly allied with the West, is probably afraid that scenes similar to the 2023 uprisings could repeat themselves, during which Kenya’s police killed at least 30 over several months.

The Communist Party of Kenya (CPK), also at the forefront of the mobilization, called Ruto an “imperialist puppet” who “has enriched the wealthy, sowed division, and perpetuated corruption.” The CPK, alongside other organizations, announced an “intensification” of the resistance.

Yemen’s Ansarallah is believed to have sunk a second ship in the Red Sea as they continue their attacks on Israeli-linked vessels off Yemen’s coast amid unrelenting Israeli ground and aerial offensives in Gaza.

The group published footage of the attack, which occurred last week, showing the Greek-owned vessel Tutor being struck by missiles and an explosive-laden remote-controlled boat off the Red Sea port of Hodeidah.

The United Kingdom Maritime Trade Operations, which tracks commercial shipping in the crucial waterway, said that the vessel is “believed to have sunk.” If confirmed, the Tutor would be the second ship sunk by Ansarallah since the start of its operations in the Red Sea and the Arabian Sea in November.

In response to the group’s attacks, the US and the UK have been bombing several locations across Yemen since the beginning of this year. Their latest attack was on Yemen’s Hodeidah International Airport, which was bombed six times on Monday.

In the latest attack on Philippine sovereignty, China’s Coast Guard assaulted Philippine soldiers at the Second Thomas Shoal in the South China Sea. Left-wing Philippine political alliance Bayan views the incident as part of “an escalating inter-imperialist rivalry between the US and China.”

Chief of Staff of the Philippines Armed Forces General Romeo Brawner stated that Chinese Coast Guard personnel boarded Filipino boats with knives and spears, injuring one soldier and badly damaging the boats. The Philippine soldiers were resupplying sailors at Sierra Madre, which is within the Exclusive Economic Zone (EEZ) of the Philippines, according to UN Conventions.

Bayan is calling for the peaceful resolution of the maritime dispute between the Philippines and China and demanding that both the US and China remove their military outposts from the region.

Horrifying satellite images reveal the extent of destruction Israel has unleashed on the city of Rafah, the only city in the Gaza Strip that has yet to be fully invaded. The Israeli military continues to push deeper into the central and western parts of Rafah, destroying more residential buildings and pushing more people into internal displacement.

The images show the Al-Shaboura refugee camp in Rafah city before and after Israel launched its ground invasion of the southernmost city in the enclave. Before the invasion, Rafah housed more than 1.7 million displaced Palestinians. However, since the start of the invasion in May, more than one million are said to have fled the city, with only 65,000 remaining, according to the UN.

More than eight months into Israel’s war of extermination against the Gaza Strip, resistance fighters of Gaza’s ruling group remain active in combat tunnel networks in Rafah. The group continues to harass the invading Israeli forces, avoiding decisive battles.
