“Where before there was a difference between assassination and warfare, now the two are conjoined, where many, perhaps the majority, of targets in Gaza are bombed as a result of artificial intelligence targeting.”
Wikileaks founder Julian Assange has said that artificial intelligence is being used “to create mass assassinations” in Gaza.
“As I emerge from prison, I see that artificial intelligence is being used to create mass assassinations,” he told the Council of Europe (PACE) this week in his first public statement since his release in June after 14 years of incarceration.
“Where before there was a difference between assassination and warfare, now the two are conjoined, where many, perhaps the majority, of targets in Gaza are bombed as a result of artificial intelligence targeting,” Assange added.

The connection between artificial intelligence and surveillance is important, he continued.
“Artificial intelligence needs information to come up with targets, or ideas, or propaganda. When we are talking about the use of artificial intelligence to conduct mass assassinations, surveillance data from telephones, internet, is key to training those algorithms,” Assange explained.
Israel has carried out several massacres in its ongoing genocidal assault on the besieged Gaza Strip over the past year. This week, close to 100 Palestinians were killed in 24 hours as the Israeli military targeted homes, a school sheltering displaced families as well as an orphanage.
‘I Pled Guilty to Journalism’
Released after a plea deal with US authorities, Assange said “I eventually chose freedom over unrealisable justice, after being detained for years and facing a 175-year sentence with no effective remedy.”
“I am not free today because the system worked. I am free today after years of incarceration because I pled guilty to journalism,” he added, in his address to PACE’s committee on legal affairs and human rights.
Assange stressed that the “rights of journalists and publishers within the European space are seriously threatened.”
He said “The criminalisation of news-gathering activities is a threat to investigative journalism everywhere. I was formally convicted by a foreign power for asking for, receiving and publishing truthful information about that power while I was in Europe.”
Library of Persecuted Documents
Assange rose to prominence with the establishment of WikiLeaks in 2006, an online whistleblower platform which, according to its website, “specializes in the analysis and publication of large datasets of censored or otherwise restricted official materials involving war, spying and corruption.”
“If you look at the definition of a political prisoner, Julian Assange and his case fulfills this definition… He was convicted for engaging in acts of journalism. This is a clear instance of a politically motivated incarceration.”https://t.co/s4qgIWFvRB
“WikiLeaks is a giant library of the world’s most persecuted documents. We give asylum to these documents, we analyze them, we promote them and we obtain more,” Assange said in a 2015 Der Spiegel interview.
Amongst the leaks were nearly 400,000 classified US military documents and footage from the wars in Afghanistan and Iraq. The 2010 leaks revealed field reports and war logs, detailing torture, and summary executions.
Palestine Cables
In this report by the Palestine Chronicle, Robert Inlakesh writes that one of the various contributions of Wikileaks to Palestine were cables that worked to confirm an element of Israel’s agenda in the Gaza Strip, aiding in shaping our overall understanding of the reality on the ground today during the genocidal assault launched by the Israeli government.
Secret classified cables, from March 2008, revealed that US diplomats had learned that Tel Aviv’s intentions with its comprehensive siege imposed upon the Gaza Strip, were “to keep the Gazan economy functioning at the lowest level possible consistent with avoiding a humanitarian crisis”.
What we came to learn from the leaked documents was a confirmation that Israel was pursuing the strategy outlined in 2006 by Dov Weisglass, a senior advisor to Israeli Prime Minister at the time Ehud Olmert, who talked of putting the “Palestinians on a diet, but not to make them die of hunger.”
In 2011, Wikileaks cables also corroborated the Al-Jazeera leaked ‘Palestine Papers’ which exposed the depth of the collusion between corrupt officials belonging to the Palestinian Authority and their Israeli counterparts.
In 2019, the US administration charged Assange with 17 counts of breaching the Espionage Act.
The last 14 years of incarceration included being holed up in an Ecuadorian embassy in central London, and five years in Britain’s Belmarsh prison.
The claim is included in his upcoming memoir Unleashed, which will be released on October 10.
Former British Prime Minister Boris Johnson has claimed that a listening device was found in his personal bathroom at the Foreign Office after it had been used by the Israeli Premier Benjamin Netanyahu.
The claim is included in his upcoming memoir Unleashed, which will be released on October 10, the Daily Telegraph newspaper reported.
Johnson alleged that “his security team found bugging devices in the toilets” after Netanyahu had used the facilities during a visit in 2017, the paper said.

He said Netanyahu, who he calls Bibi, excused himself to use the bathroom.
“Thither Bibi repaired for a while, and it may or may not be a coincidence but I am told that later, when they were doing a regular sweep for bugs, they found a listening device in the thunderbox.”
The paper said it was not clear whether Tel Aviv “was questioned or rebuked over the incident.”
White House Bugged
At around the same time, Israel was accused of planting listening devices in the White House, the paper added.
Citing US officials, the paper said that “Washington concluded that Israel was likely behind the placement of cellphone surveillance devices that were found near the White House and other sensitive locations around the capital.”
Johnson also reportedly described how he felt like “Willy Wonka” as he showed Netanyahu around the Foreign Office.
“He writes how he joked about having the very walnut desk where the Balfour Declaration was written by Arthur James Balfour, where he set out ‘the establishment in Palestine of a national home for the Jewish people’,” the paper said.
Netanyahu, in response, supposedly uttered “wow” and Johnson said, appeared “genuinely awestruck”.
Johnson served as foreign secretary from 2016 to 2018 before becoming prime minister in 2019, serving a tumultuous term before he resigned in 2022 in the face of scandals.
Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have intensified in recent days, with nearly 20 reported on Thursday.
At least four paramedics have been killed in an Israeli drone strike near the government hospital in the town of Marjeyoun in southern Lebanon on Friday. The attack follows a series of air attacks in densely populated areas overnight.
The hospital has since been evacuated and operations ceased at the facility, according to Lebanon’s National News Agency.
The news outlet also reported that Israeli warplanes conducted two consecutive raids on Beirut’s southern suburbs, targeting the area near the Lebanese University in the Laylaki – Hadath area. The raids targeted more than one building in the area. The Quds News Network (QNN) reported that the airstrike resulted in casualties.

In the early hours of Friday, the Israeli army launched a series of airstrikes across southern Lebanon, with significant damage reported in various regions including the suburb of Dahiyeh.
Beirut National Airport
An airstrike hit a building in the town of Toul, Nabatieh, while other strikes targeted areas between Kawthariyet al-Siyad, and Ghassanieh. The areas of Aita al-Shaab, Kfarsir, and Yaroun were also bombarded.
In the Tyre district, a home in Deir Qanoun al-Nahr, and another near the official school in Bourj Rahal were hit. Multiple airstrikes also targeted the outskirts of Abbasieh.

Earlier, an Israeli airstrike destroyed a building near Darwish Center on the Shoukin-Nabatieh road, with injuries reported, according to the news agency.
Dozens of loud explosions were also heard in the Mrayjeh area in the southern suburb of Beirut, in the early hours, due to an Israeli air raid, reported Al Mayadeen.
The targeted site was close to the Beirut International Airport, and also includes health facilities, emergency services facilities, and schools.
Border Crossing Bombed
QNN also reported that an airstrike targeted the area surrounding the al-Masna border crossing on the Lebanon-Syria border, cutting off the main road that connects the two countries.

The Israeli military claims to have killed top Hezbollah officials in the recent airstrikes.
Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have intensified in recent days, with nearly 20 reported on Thursday, said Al Mayadeen, with most airstrikes occurring after midnight.
These raids occurred with multiple attempts of ground incursions into Lebanese border towns by Israeli forces. However, Hezbollah said it killed 17 Israeli soldiers on Thursday alone, according to Al Mayadeen. The Israeli military confirmed on Thursday that eight of its soldiers, including three captains, were killed in southern Lebanon.

Israeli police reported extensive property damage following rocket strikes in Kiryat Shmona and the Lower Galilee, while Yedioth Ahronoth reported that a building in Kiryat Shmona, near the border, was directly hit.
The Lebanese movement Hezbollah announced on Friday that it had killed and wounded Israeli soldiers in two separate operations near the border and launched dozens of rockets at northern Haifa and the Galilee, causing significant damage and fires.
In a statement, Hezbollah claimed that its fighters had targeted an Israeli Merkava tank near the Al-Malikiyah site with a guided missile, resulting in casualties among Israeli forces.
In a second statement, Hezbollah reported that it had attacked a convoy of Israeli military vehicles and personnel in the Maroun al-Ras plain, causing further casualties.

The group also claimed responsibility for launching a heavy Burkan missile at a gathering of Israeli vehicles and soldiers in Sa’sa’, while also striking the Ilania base in the Lower Galilee, artillery positions south of Kiryat Shmona, and the Ruwaysat al-Alam site in the occupied Kfar Shuba hills in Lebanon.
Al-Jazeera captured footage of an Israeli helicopter transporting injured soldiers from the northern front to Rambam Hospital in Haifa.
Meanwhile, Israeli police reported extensive property damage following rocket strikes in Kiryat Shmona and the Lower Galilee, with Yedioth Ahronoth noting that a building in Kiryat Shmona, near the border, was directly hit.
The Israeli newspaper Haaretz cited the mayor of the settlement of Metula, who stated that 50 rockets had struck the area, causing significant damage.
Fires broke out in various locations in the Galilee following the rocket attacks, according to Israeli police.
Israeli Army Radio reported that around 100 rockets had been fired from Lebanon since the morning, with 40 launched in the past hour alone, targeting the Misgav area in the Western Galilee.
Sirens sounded in Caesarea, north of Tel Aviv, where Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu resides, forcing him to take shelter, as reported by Israeli media.
Later in the day, Hezbollah stated it had fired rocket salvos at the city of Safed and the settlement of Karmiel. Earlier, the group had said that it targeted the Krayot area north of Haifa with additional rocket salvos.
Video footage captured missiles hitting the outskirts of Haifa after penetrating Israeli air defenses, with reports indicating that missiles landed in the industrial zone north of the city, more than 40 kilometers from the Lebanese border.
Sirens were heard across Haifa, Nahariya, Caesarea, and settlements throughout the Galilee, warning of incoming rocket fire.
On Thursday, Hezbollah launched approximately 200 rockets at Israeli targets, according to Israeli media.
The group also said it killed 17 Israeli officers and soldiers during those operations. Israeli media later reported a “serious security incident” involving the evacuation of dead or wounded soldiers from the Lebanese border.
Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi arrived in Beirut on Friday, marking his first official visit to Lebanon since taking office. The visit occurs amid heightened regional tensions and ongoing Israeli attacks.
According to the Lebanese National News Agency, Araghchi was greeted by Osama Khashab, the head of protocol at Lebanon’s Foreign Ministry, upon arrival at Beirut’s Rafic Hariri International Airport.
Iranian Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei announced that the Tehran delegation, led by Foreign Minister Araghchi, is set to meet with high-ranking Lebanese officials.

According to the Lebanese news network Al-Mayadeen, Araghchi is expected to meet with Lebanon’s caretaker Prime Minister Najib Mikati and Parliament Speaker Nabih Berri to discuss recent developments in Lebanon and the region.
The delegation includes two members of the Iranian Parliament and the Head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society.
In a statement, Baghaei said, “Our delegation led by FM Araghchi and accompanied by two members of Parliament and Head of Iran’s Red Crescent Society will meet with Lebanese high-level officials shortly.”

Since the start of the Israeli war on Gaza, on October 7, 2023, the Lebanese movement Hezbollah has engaged directly, but relatively in a limited way in the war against the Israeli occupation.
Israel escalated its aggression with the cyber-terror attacks on September 17 and 18, which claimed the lives of at least 37 people including children, and injured around 3000 others.
This went hand in hand with a series of assassinations of Hezbollah leaders, the last of which was that of the Secretary-General of the resistance party Hassan Nasrallah on September 27.
These developments coincided with unprecedented bombings and airstrikes by Israel’s army on different cities across Lebanon particularly in the south, Bekaa and the southern district of Beirut.
The Ministry of Health indicated on Thursday that 1974 people were killed including 127 children, 261 women, and 9384 others were injured since the start of the Israeli aggression on Lebanon.
Israel has occupied parts of Lebanon for decades and has only left the country in 2000, following stiff Lebanese resistance under Hezbollah’s leadership.
Israel attempted to re-occupy Lebanon in 2006 but failed in what Lebanon considers a major victory against Israel.
Israel, however, continues to occupy parts of Lebanon, namely the Sheeba Farms region.
Hezbollah has vowed to recover every inch of Lebanon that has been occupied by Israel contrary to international law.
The crew of TRT Haber was assaulted in Tel Aviv while on the job and accused of being spies for Hamas and Hezbollah.
A TRT Haber crew was assaulted in Tel Aviv on Wednesday while covering the aftermath of the Iranian missile attack on the city Tuesday night.
Footage of the incident shows an Israeli cyclist harassing the TV correspondent while on the job and accusing him of being a spy for the Palestinian resistance movement Hamas and the Lebanese resistance party Hezbollah.
“You are a spy. You are a spy for the Hamas and Hezbollah,” the Israeli man kept saying to the TV reporter.
The reporter endlessly tried to convince the Israeli man that he works for an accredited news outlet and that he was only trying to do his job according to the laws and not taking any footage of military areas or other areas where filming is banned, but the man refused to listen to reason.

“You are transmitting lies, I saw you,” the Israeli cyclist told the reporter while asking him to go back to Türkiye.
The TV reporter desperately asked the man to leave so he could continue doing his job but the Israeli man showered him with curses.
Not a First
This is not the first time a TRT journalist has been assaulted by Israelis, according to the TV channel.
TRT said that the Israeli occupation authorities have “previously deliberately obstructed the work of TRT network correspondents, including (TRT Arabic), during their work in the Gaza envelope areas and inside the Green Line, and threatened some of them with death.”
The Turkish Foreign Ministry condemned in August Israel’s attack on Mohammad al-Zeineen, a cameraman for TRT Arabi who sustained an eye injury when the Israeli occupation army shelled a car close to a tent for journalists by Nasser Hospital in Khan Yunis.
The ministry considered the attack “an effort by bloodstained Israel to conceal the truth.”
“We stand in solidarity with all journalists who are tirelessly working to expose Israel’s oppression to the world,” the ministry wrote in a statement on X as reported by Anadolu news agency.
Earlier in June, the International Federation of Journalists (IFJ) and the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate (PJS) jointly condemned the attack on a Palestinian journalist and other local and foreign journalists by right-wing Israeli illegal settlers on the “nationalist flag march” on June 5 in the old city of occupied Jerusalem.
“The attacks that happened during the nationalist flag parade are despicable and they must be thoroughly investigated. Israel’s police must take further action to protect journalists, particularly Palestinian journalists, ensure that the perpetrators are punished and end the climate of impunity in Israel,” IFJ Deputy General Secretary Tim Dawson said at the time.
Systematic Targeting
Israel has targeted media outlets since the start of its genocide on Gaza on October 8, the ban of Al-Jazeera in Israel in May followed by the closure of its Ramallah bureau in the occupied West Bank in September is yet another example.
Palestinian journalists in the Gaza Strip have been systematically targeted by the Israeli occupation army during the raging war.
Since the start of Israel’s genocidal war against the Gaza Strip, a total of 173 Palestinian journalists have been killed, and more than 190 others have been injured, while 87 media institutions have been destroyed, according to the Health Ministry in the Strip.
This has been met with wide condemnation from various international organizations requesting protection for Palestinian journalists.
Reporters Without Borders (RSF) organized late September “flash protests” in 10 countries across the globe to pay homage to Palestinian journalists killed during the nearly one-year genocide in the besieged Gaza Strip.
The non-governmental organization (NGO) said in a statement on September 26 that the protests are organized to pay homage to the over 130 Palestinian journalists killed by the Israeli occupation army, “32 of whom were murdered while working.”
The ‘flash protests’ were held the whole day on Thursday in Germany, Brazil, Spain, the United States, Britain, France, Senegal, Switzerland, Taiwan and Tunisia.
RSF announced that the aim behind the “global awareness campaign” is to “alert the international public to the gravity of this crisis: the alarming rate at which these journalists are being killed is jeopardizing the right to free and independent information.”
“The massacre of journalists in Gaza must end. The Israeli army’s elimination of journalists in Gaza – over 130 killed in less than a year – threatens to create a complete media blackout in the blockaded enclave,” RSF’s Director General Thibaut Bruttin said.
“These attacks target not only the Palestinian press, but the international public’s right to information that is reliable, free, independent, and pluralist from one of the most closely watched conflict zones on the planet,” he added.
Bruttin ended by demanding, “protection for Gaza’s journalists, an end to impunity, and that foreign journalists be given access to the strip. Our right to information is at stake.”

Stephane Dujarric stresses that civilians in Gaza must be protected and their needs must be met.
The United Nations Spokesperson Stephane Dujarric voiced his deep concern on Thursday over Israel’s repeated targeting of UN schools, housing displaced Palestinians in the besieged Gaza Strip.
Dujarric quoted the Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) while highlighting the strike on six schools in recent days and Al Amal Institute for Orphans on Wednesday, all serving as shelters for displaced Palestinians.
“Once again, OCHA stresses that international humanitarian law demands that the parties take constant care to spare civilians from harm,” he said.
“Civilians must be protected, and their essential needs must be met,” the UN spokesperson added.
Acute Malnutrition
The UN official in his press briefing touched on the dire humanitarian situation of children in particular bringing into the limelight the issue of malnutrition.
Dujarric told reporters that the UN’s humanitarian partners are exerting huge efforts “to provide treatment to malnourished children in Gaza, despite the limited entry of critical supplies and the loss of access to some of the humanitarian warehouses.”
He revealed that over 24,000 children in Gaza were screened for malnutrition “last month alone — bringing the total screened since mid-January to nearly 319,000 children under the age of 5.”
“This includes more than 70,000 children in Gaza’s northern governorates. Of all screened children, nearly 22,000 have been diagnosed with acute malnutrition,” Dujarric stressed.
The UN spokesperson stated that around 50.000 children under the age of five in addition to 18,000 pregnant or breastfeeding mothers received supplementary feeding. However, there is limited ability to store “supplies that require refrigeration.”
Bureaucratic Hurdles
Dujarric accused the Israeli occupation authorities of imposing “bureaucratic hurdles, lack of security guarantees within Gaza, insufficient border crossing points”, which he said limited the distribution of essential aid by the World Food Program (WFP).
“In September, to date, the World Food Programme reached nearly 900,000 vulnerable people in Gaza and the West Bank, including more than 688,000 people in Gaza alone,” he stated.
The UN official emphasized that the forced displacement of Palestinians in Gaza has hindered as well the “partners to maintain operations and distribute items, including food to those who are in need of it.”
According to Dujarric, WFP distributed over 9.4 million hot meals through a network of 72 community kitchens and were able to reach 186,161 people in September, declaring that food baskets will not be distributed in October “as the flow of essential goods has been critically restricted.”
Gaza Genocide Continues
Flouting a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate ceasefire, Israel has faced international condemnation amid its continued brutal offensive on Gaza.
Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 41,788 Palestinians have been killed, and 96,794 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7, 2023.
Moreover, at least 11,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Israel says that 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed during the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7. Israeli media published reports suggesting that many Israelis were killed on that day by ‘friendly fire’.
Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli war has resulted in an acute famine, mostly in northern Gaza, resulting in the death of many Palestinians, mostly children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
Later in the war, hundreds of thousands of Palestinians began moving from the south to central Gaza in a constant search for safety.
The Lebanese movement Hezbollah announced it targeted Karyot, north of Haifa, as Israeli media reported that sirens sounded across various areas in the north.
At least nine Palestinians have been killed in the ongoing Israeli bombardment of several areas in the Gaza Strip since dawn today.
The national and Islamic forces in the occupied West Bank announced a comprehensive strike on Friday, in various governorates, to mourn those killed by the Israeli occupation army in the Tulkarem refugee camp.
According to the Palestinian Health Ministry (Gaza), 41,788 Palestinians have been killed, and 96,794 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7, 2023.

PALESTINE CHRONICLE: The national and Islamic forces in the occupied West Bank announced a comprehensive strike today, Friday, in various governorates, to mourn those killed by the Israeli occupation army in the Tulkarem refugee camp. The Israeli strike resulted in the death of 18 Palestinians in the first shelling of its kind launched by an Israeli fighter jet in the West Bank since the second intifada in 2000.
The latest footage by Al-Qassam Brigades in Gaza could be considered the most significant of all such footage produced by the group since the start of the war on October 7, 2023.
Why?
First, the footage itself. The entire episode of a large number of Israeli military vehicles being blown up, some with massive fires and large explosions, all took place in a single area known as Al-Fakhari, east of Khan Yunis.
Khan Yunis is a southern Gaza city that borders the fence separating between Israel and the Strip. East Khan Yunis is essentially the border area, with little construction and mostly farms.
A year into the Israeli war and genocide in Gaza, a military operation in east Khan Yunis should fairly be an easy battle for Israel. But it wasn’t. Not only did Palestinian fighters manage to destroy a large number of Israeli military equipment, and seize some, but they also forced the Israeli army to retreat.
So lesson number one, even a year into the Israeli war, which essentially obliterated Gaza, a military victory is still almost impossible for Israel.
The other important point pertains to the name of the operation: ‘Renewal of the Covenant and Allegiance Ambush’.
This title is meant to illustrate that after a year of war, the Resistance is ready to fight on with the same spirit and determination as the first day.
Palestinians, especially in Gaza, fully understand the nuances of this language, which suggests that there will be no surrender and no defeat.
And finally, but equally important, is the fact that the operation was dedicated to those who have been “martyred and assassinated by the hands of treachery and betrayal, leading amongst them the recently-assassinated Hezbollah’s leader Hassan Nasrallah.
What does this mean?
Al-Qassam Brigades displayed scenes from the targeting of Israeli vehicles during their invasion of the Fakhari area east of the city of Khan Yunis.

As Israel has failed to achieve any military victory in Gaza, it has desperately turned toward Lebanon, in search of that elusive victory.
By coordinating their resistance, and dedicating their operations to each others’ martyrs, Hezbollah and Al-Qassam are sending the message that as Israel is trying to delink the two battlefields, the resistance is unifying their efforts as if the battle is one.
Below are the latest statements by the main Resistance force in Gaza, and the Lebanese Resistance Movement Hezbollah.
The statements were communicated via their Telegram channels and are published here in their original form.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed and wounded when an Israeli fighter jet struck a crowd in the Palestinian Tulkarm refugee camp in the northern West Bank.
Videos of the chaotic scene showed bodies of Palestinians hanging from balconies and treetops following the massive explosion.
The Israeli Army Radio claimed that the airstrike targeted armed men in Tulkarm, but the scene at Tulkarm hospitals and clinics tell another story.
Mutilated bodies and unidentified body parts were brought into hospitals in whatever form of transport the desperate refugees could find.
Initially, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said that 14 people were killed before the number jumped to 20, according to Al-Jazeera.

Local journalists at the scene said that many unidentified bodies are still uncounted for.
This is considered the first time since the Second Intifada (2000-2005) that Israeli fighter jets strike the area.
The official Palestinian news agency WAFA said that the strike targeted a very crowded area where many people were gathering inside a local cafe.
At least one missile hit the Hammam neighborhood in Tulkarm, according to WAFA.
UPDATE:
The national and Islamic forces in the occupied West Bank announced a comprehensive strike today, Friday, in various governorates, to mourn those killed by the Israeli occupation army in Tulkarm refugee camp.
The Israeli strike resulted in the death of 18 Palestinians in the first shelling of its kind launched by an Israeli fighter jet in the West Bank since the second intifada in 2000.
In a statement on Thursday evening, the forces called for activities in all seam areas and military checkpoints, and adherence to unity and struggle to end the occupation.
Hamas considered the Israeli aerial bombardment of the Tulkarm camp a dangerous escalation in the occupation’s continuous aggression on the West Bank.
It said that the attack was more evidence of Israeli bankruptcy in light of its failure on the ground to break the resolve of the Palestinian people and their escalating resistance.

A recent New York Times made many claims about the ‘mass rape’ of Israeli women on October 7. But two leading Palestinian media organizations, The Palestine Chronicle and Friends of Palestine Network, conducted a joint investigation, the outcome of which resulted in the ‘The Black Dress’, a groundbreaking 18-minute documentary looking into allegations and the possible falsification of evidence.
