Över 40 dödade i attack mot humanitär zon

Över 40 dödade i attack mot humanitär zon

Attacken skedde inne i ett tältläger i al-Mawasi utanför staden Khan Yunis, ett område som den israeliska militären har utsett som en humanitär zon. Området huserar många palestinier som fördrivits från sina hem under kriget. Den palestinska nyhetsbyrån Wafa skriver att fem robotar träffade tältlägret. Kratrar i marken Mohammed Al-Mughair, tjänsteman vid Gazas civilförsvar, säger till AFP att 40 personer dödats och 60 skadats i attacken. Våra anställda jobbar fortfarande för att hitta 15 personer som saknas, säger han. Också Wafa rapporterar 40 döda, med hänvisning till sjukvårdsansvariga. En annan person inom civilförsvaret, talespersonen Mahmoud Basal, beskriver det som att attacken lämnat efter sig stora kratrar i marken. Hela familjer försvann ner i djupa hål sanden i massakern i al-Mawasi i Khan Yunis, säger han. Filmer som cirkulerar på sociala medier visar kratrarna i marken, omgivna av stor förödelse. En av dem ser ut att vara så djup som tio meter, rapporterar AP. IDF: Riktat mot Hamas Israels militär, IDF, uppger att de slagit till mot ett lednings- och kontrollcenter för terrorstämplade Hamas, som enligt militären verkade inbäddat i tältlägret. "Terroristorganisationerna på Gazaremsan fortsätter att systematiskt missbruka civil och humanitär infrastruktur, inklusive det utsedda humanitära området, för att utföra terroristaktiviteter mot staten Israel och IDF", uppger militären i ett uttalande. Hamas å sin sida förnekar att dess medlemmar befann sig på platsen. "Ockupationsmaktens anklagelser om närvaro av motståndskrigare är en uppenbar lögn", skriver rörelsen på Telegram.

Suhad vägrar lämna sina katter – trots kaoset: "Delar mat med dem"

Suhad vägrar lämna sina katter – trots kaoset: "Delar mat med dem"

Över 90 procent av Gazas befolkning lever på flykt på grund av kriget mellan Israel och Hamas. Många har evakuerats flera gånger. De flesta har inget hem att återvända till när kriget går in i en ny fas. I denna röra har många tvingats att lämna sina husdjur bakom sig. Antalet hemlösa hundar, katter, åsnor och kameler har vuxit explosionsartat. Men en del har vägrat att skilja sig från sina fyrbenta familjemedlemmar. – Det var inte ens att tänka på. Mina katter mår också dåligt av situationen och jag måste ta hand om dem, säger Suhad Abu Daqqa. Har evakuerats fem gånger Eftersom internationella journalister inte släpps in i Gaza har TV4 gett frilansaren Samy Zyara, som bor i Gaza, i uppdrag att låta familjer berätta hur de gör för att skapa en form trygghet mitt i kriget. Han möter Suhad Abu Daqqa och hennes familj i ett flyktingläger i södra Gaza. Det är femte gången som de evakuerats. I tältet hoppar de två vita katterna Lucy och Rosa. Deras kattburar står sidan om varandra och utanför tältet står kattlådan med kattsand. – Jag försöker göra så att de har samma rutiner här som de hade hemma. Jag sköter deras vaccinationer så bra det går och ger dem mediciner så att de inte ska sprida sjukdomar, säger Suhad Abu Daqqa. ”Får dela min mat med dem” Katterna är vana vid ett välbeställt innekattliv med mat och vatten serverat. I början hade familjen inget tält i flyktinglägret och då fick katterna stanna i sina burar, men nu är de fastknutna i ett koppel så att de inte ska förvirra sig ut men ändå kan hoppa och leka. Suhad Abu Daqqa vet att många människor har svårt att hitta mat till sig själva och sina barn. Men att hon även prioriterar sina katter, tycker hon inte är konstigt. – De är mitt ansvar och det är svårt att hitta kattmat men jag får dela min mat med dem. Det finns inget annat sätt, säger hon. Alla längtar hem Katterna handlar också om att försöka hitta små glädjestunder i den desperata situationen. För barnen är de en källa till lek, gos och trygghet. – De är som mina systrar. Jag leker med katterna och de med mig. Vi ger dem mat och leker igen, säger brorsdottern Lean. Men alla längtar hem, både människor och djur. – Jag vill hem, gå i skolan och leka med katterna som jag brukade, säger Lean.

Enorma nätverket trappar upp – inför valet: "Allt mer aggressivt"

Enorma nätverket trappar upp – inför valet: "Allt mer aggressivt"

Att skada demokratin i USA, skapa splittring och stoppa Donald Trump från att återvända till Vita huset är tre av Irans främsta mål inför presidentvalet i USA. Landet har nu trappat upp sina hackerattacker och desinformationskampanjer mot USA, rapporterar New York Times.

– En viktig anledning till att detta sker nu är att vi närmar oss valet, säger Irankännaren Arvin Khoshnood till TV4 Nyheterna. – Vi har tidigare sett att valet har splittrat USA, och nu när valkampanjen pågår för fullt är det lättare att splittra landet, fortsätter han. Iran vill till varje pris undvika Trump som president, menar Khoshnood. – Det är oerhört viktigt för Iran att Trump inte blir vald som president. Han genomförde omfattande sanktioner mot landet under sin tid som president. Demokraterna har haft en mer positiv hållning till regimen i Iran, säger han. Falska hemsidor Med hjälp av falska hemsidor, som utger sig för att vara pålitliga nyhetskällor, försöker den iranska cyberarmén att påverka årets presidentval, enligt amerikanska tjänstemän och teknikföretagsanalytiker som tidningen pratat med. En av hemsidorna heter heter Savannah Time och beskrivs som ”en pålitliga källa för konservativa nyheter”. En annan hemsida, NioThinker, påstås vara "en destination för insiktsfulla, progressiva nyheter."

– Även i Sverige har den iranska regimen varit inblandade i desinformationskampanjer som riktat in sig mot olika målgrupper, säger Arvin Khosnood. Kopplas till revolutionsgardet Irans enorma nätverk av agenter och hackare inkluderar företag som kontrolleras av landets islamiska revolutionsgarde. – De har en så kallad cyberarmé kontrollerad av revolutionsgardet i landet, som även inkluderar militär-och underrättelseenheten, men även underrättelseministeriet kan vara inblandad i kampanjerna, säger Khoshnood.

Iranska källor med insyn uppger för New York Times att agenter spanar rutinmässigt in iranska universitet för att rekrytera topputexaminerade tekniker till cyberarmén. De erbjuds höga löner, forskningsfinansiering och kontorslokaler. Blir allt mer aggressivt Iran har länge genomfört hemliga informationsoperationer mot sina motståndare, särskilt Israel, Saudiarabien och USA. Men hittills har de flesta aktiviteter genomförts i skuggan av liknande kampanjer av Ryssland och Kina. De senaste propaganda- och desinformationskampanjerna har dock blivit allt fräckare, enligt den amerikanska regeringen, företagstjänstemän och Iranexperter. "Iran blir allt mer aggressivt i sina ansträngningar för utländskt inflytande, och försöker skapa oenighet och undergräva förtroendet för våra demokratiska institutioner," varnade Avril Haines, chef för nationell underrättelsetjänst, nyligen.

On Monday, Israel conducted dozens of airstrikes on the Gaza Strip, after Palestinian militants fired barrages of rockets at southern Israeli cities in the latest fighting. But while this marks some of the worst violence seen in the region, the history of the conflict goes back decades.A timeline of the conflict1920Britain takes control of the region known as Palestine after the Ottoman Empire is defeated in World War One.At this time, the land is inhabited by an Arab majority, with a Jewish minority, but without conflict.1920s to 1940sBritain begins establishing a 'national home' for Jews in the region as more and more Jewish people flee persecution in Europe.This leads to an increase in tensions between the groups - the area is seen as the ancestral home of both Jews and Arabs, with both groups claiming rights to the land.After World War Two as more Jews flee to the region, violence between the groups grows, as well as against British rule.Support the Podcast:  https://www.buzzsprout.com/1590358/support The Art of Commercial Closing of ReThinkBuzzsprout - Let's get your podcast launched! Start for FREESupport the show

Should Israel Ransom Hostages? (Updated)

When we first released an episode on captured soldiers, back in August 2023, we had no idea that we were mere months away from the worst hostage crisis Israel had ever experienced.  On October 7, 2023, Hamas murdered 1,200 people – mostly civilians – and dragged another 240 to Gaza, plunging Israel into a nightmare. Hamas did not discriminate. They took babies as young as 9 months, elderly people well into their 80s, and everyone in between. Some of those 240 hostages have been rescued or released. Some were murdered in captivity. Three were killed mistakenly by “friendly fire.” But as of December 2023, 129 remain in Gaza, their fates and welfare unknown. And the questions we raised back in August remain more relevant than ever.  ~~~~   Sources: https://docs.google.com/document/d/1tO4xtCQdNDbcO3THe1elsiNrvREOuG6FjD3gcq5hDnA/edit?usp=sharing

Israel and Palestine - A Complex History

The conflict in Israel and Palestine predates even the creation of the state of Israel in 1948. This episode explores the complicated history of Israel and Palestine, chronicling the ancient history of the temples in Jerusalem, to the Crusades, to the settlement of the land by Arabs almost 1,000 years ago, and to the more recent wars of 1948, 1967, the Intifadas, and the state of the conflict in present day.
