This too is genocide: Israel destroyed 95% of the Gaza City municipality's heavy vehicles.

These are waste removal trucks, construction machinery, water trucks, and most importantly in this moment, the difference between life and death when digging survivors out of bombed homes.

The firing of rockets at the center of the country surprises Israel against the background of the intelligence picture presented through military reports, but in the strategic test it appears that Hamas planned its last line of defense (Rafah) in a surprisingly strong way.

Science Business:

A growing number of European universities are ending their ties with Israel over the war in Gaza, including in existing Horizon Europe projects, prompting Israel’s science minister to hold emergency talks with the country’s research leaders over how to retain scientific links with Europe.

Gila Gamliel has said that Israel is considering new incentives to encourage academics to come to Israel, and last week signed a cooperation agreement with Guatemala to try to shore up the country’s outside scientific links in the face of European boycotts.

With student protest camps spreading across the continent, European university boycotts could prove a major headache for the EU’s entire science strategy, which has since 1996 included Israel, a technology leader, as a fully integrated part of its research and innovation framework programmes.

To date, Israel has received more than €600 million from Horizon Europe, more than many EU member states, including Poland and the Czech Republic.

An internal Israeli Ministry of Intelligence report compiled in mid-April warns that the growing wave of European boycotts “pose risks to Israel's scientific-technological position in the world, and in the long run could lead to damage to national security and the strength of Israel's economy”. It also warns that the boycott movement risks stopping Israeli scientists joining research consortia as part of Horizon Europe.

The report singles out Norway, Denmark, Finland, Iceland, Sweden, Ireland, Belgium and Italy as the European countries where action including protests, petitions and boycotts have been particularly pronounced.

Israeli media last month warned that the country’s academics were facing an “unprecedented” global boycott, with conference invitations cancelled, overseas lectures disrupted, and scientific articles rejected for political reasons.

These boycotts are “already straining existing collaborations between individuals”, said Michael Elbaum, a cell scientist at the Weizmann Institute of Science. “A boycott is impersonal, based on association rather than familiarity,” he said.

University boycotts also raise the question of how European governments will respond – either leaving universities to determine their own policy, or intervening to try to preserve research relations with Israel.

A further headache for the EU is that the European Commission has proposed allowing dual use research in Horizon Europe’s successor, FP10, due to start in 2028.

It’s unclear whether this military-related research will be restricted to EU member states, but any hint of military use could make Israeli involvement even more controversial.

In March, the Statewatch NGO published an investigation that found multiple Israeli drone companies had received money from EU framework programmes, and that this drone technology was now potentially being used in the war in Gaza.
