Hezbollah has stepped up its attacks against Israel, leader claims
Lebanese Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah has said that the group has started using new weapons in the attacks it has carried out daily against Israel since the start of the war in Gaza.


“Over the past week... there has been a strengthening of resistance action on the Lebanese front, due to the number of operations, the number of objectives targeted and also the weapons used,” the head of the pro-Iranian formation.

“For the first time in the history of resistance in Lebanon, we are using suicide drones” to attack targets in Israel, Hassan Nasrallah said in a televised speech.

He also indicated that Hezbollah had also used in recent days, for the first time, "Burkan missiles, which can carry explosive charges of 300 to 500 kilos."

The Hezbollah leader revealed that his formation now sends reconnaissance drones "daily" deep above Israel, "some of which reach Haifa, Acre and Safed" in the north.

There have been daily exchanges of fire between Hezbollah and Israel in the border area between the two countries since the start of the war.

How pro-Palestinian protests threaten Middle East autocrats


In late October, Egyptians were permitted to do something they had not been allowed to do for years: protest.

The country's authoritarian government does not support the right to freedom of assembly. But around a fortnight ago, Egypt's government, headed by President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, allowed pro-Palestinian demonstrations to proceed under strict conditions and in certain locations.

Since the October 7 attacks on Israel by the Islamist militant group Hamas in which, according to the country's foreign ministry, around 1,200 Israelis died, Israel has been bombing the Gaza Strip. Over 11,000 Palestinians have been killed, according to Gaza's health authorities, which are run by Hamas.

Some of Egypt's protests were clearly state-sponsored, observers said, noting that demonstrators

Surgeon at Al Shifa Hospital says Israel lying about Hamas tunnels under building
Marwan Abu Sada, head of surgery at Al Shifa Hospital in Gaza, spoke to DW about the situation there after the facility ran out of fuel.

He said no one was able to get in or out of the hospital complex because of the shooting and bombardment by the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

"Even if you walk inside the Al Shifa Hospital, between the building or inside the car park, you are exposed to shooting," he told DW.

Abu Sada said the hospital had been bombed several times, including earlier in the day, by Israeli forces. He added that around 600 people were inside the facility.

"We don't have electricity," he said. "We've run out of water and fuel."






He rejected Israeli claims that the hospital also serves as the headqu

Staff and patients are unable to leave Gaza's biggest hospital as it remains under "complete siege," according to the Hamas-controlled health ministry. Israel's army said it was engaged in "ongoing intense fighting" against Hamas near Al-Shifa Hospital, but refused to comment further while military activity was underway.

Hostage negotiations are moving in a positive direction, but situation remains fluid, Qatari officials say
From CNN’s Alex Marquardt

Negotiations to release more hostages held in Gaza since the October 7 Hamas attacks are moving in a positive direction, but the situation remains fluid — and the continued bombardment of Gaza isn’t helping matters, Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani said Saturday.

Qatar, a key US ally in the Middle East, has a close relationship with Hamas, and has emerged as a broker of sorts as negotiations over the release of hostages and humanitarian aid into the Gaza strip continues.

During a Saturday call, US Secretary of State Antony Blinken called on Qatar to press Hamas on allowing more dual nationals to leave Gaza — particularly US dual nationals, according to a source familiar with the call. Al-Thani told Blinken that Qatar will continue to negotiate with Hamas to make that happen.



Hostilities around Al-Shifa Hospital “have not stopped,” Doctors Without Borders says
From CNN's Eve Brennan and Kareem Khadder

Hostilities around Al-Shifa Hospital Saturday “have not stopped,” according to Médecins Sans Frontières, also known as Doctors Without Borders.

“The ambulances can no longer move to collect the injured, and non-stop bombardment prevents patients and staff from evacuating,” the organization said in a statement.






A freelance journalist based at the hospital told CNN there were still dozens of bodies at the hospital awaiting burial, but that people feared going outside to bury them.

Israeli military denies claims it has laid siege to Gaza’s largest hospital
From CNN's Jo Shelley

The Israeli military denies it is firing at Al-Shifa Hospital in northern Gaza, and rejected suggestions the hospital is under siege.

"There is no shooting at the hospital and there is no siege," Col. Moshe Tetro, a senior Israeli defense ministry official with responsibilities for Gaza, said in a statement. "The East Side of the hospital remains open. Additionally, (the military) can coordinate (with) anyone who wants to leave the hospital safely."
In a video sent out by the Israel Defense Forces to accompany the written statement, Tetro said there were, “clashes between IDF troops and Hamas terrorist operatives around the hospital.”

Gaza hospital patients ‘forced’ onto streets
Patients "are in the streets without care" after the "forced evacuations" of two paediatric hospitals, the director of hospitals in the Hamas-held Gaza Strip has said, while the Israeli army claims it has "secured" passages for civilians.

“The forced evacuations of al-Nasr and al-Rantissi paediatric hospitals have left sick people on the streets without care” in Gaza City, Mohammed Zaqout said. “We have completely lost contact with the caregivers” at the two hospitals, he added.

Across Gaza, Benjamin Netanyahu has assured that troops would assist in moving babies to safety on Sunday and that the IDF was in contact with hospital staff.





The Health Ministry in the Gaza Strip, though, has denied claims of evacuees and safe corridors.​​

IDF claim they target them it is HAMAS




IDF says it did not 'target civilians' at Al-Shifa Hospital
A spokesperson for the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) has denied any responsibility regarding reports by Doctors Without Borders (MSF) that people fleeing the Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza were shot at.

"We are not targeting civilians, we are targeting Hamas. Anyone coming out with no intention of harming anyone will not be targeted by us. Sadly, we've seen Hamas also targeting people trying to move south and their own civilians," Richard Hecht, the international spokesperson of the IDF, told DW on Sunday.

Hecht reiterated Israeli claims that the Al-Shifa Hospital is the "main hub of Hamas activity," where Hamas militants are hiding "within and also underneath the hospital." Marwan Abu Sada, the head of surgery at Al-Shifa Hospital, told DW that this is a "complete lie."Israel has not provided evidence to support these claims.


Hecht also said he was unaware of reports by an MSF surgeon who said that four patients within the hospital were shot by sniper fire.

"I can tell you without knowing the details, there is no way the IDF sniper would shoot a patient in the hospital… This is not how we operate," he said.

Fights breaking out near aid camp


Israel-Hamas war: Fighting outside Gaza hospital, aid supplies, hospital attacked, football loss


Fighting between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants outside Gaza's largest hospital has forced thousands of people to flee from the sprawling medical facility, but hundreds of patients and others displaced by the war remained inside, officials from the Hamas-controlled health ministry said Monday.

Patients inside the hospital include dozens of babies at risk of dying because of a lack of electricity, health officials at the facility said.

The Hamas government's deputy health minister announced Monday the deaths of "seven premature babies" and "27 patients in intensive care" since Saturday due to the lack of electricity at al-Shifa hospital, the largest of Gaza, which has been shelled and besieged by Israel.



WHO says Gaza's largest hospital 'not functioning'
The head of the World Health Organization says that Gaza's largest hospital is "not functioning as a hospital any more."


Writing on X, formerly Twitter, Doctor Tedros Ghebreyesus said the Shifa hospital had been without electricity for the last three days, "without water and with very poor internet which has severely impacted our ability to provide essential care."

"The world cannot stand silent while hospitals, which should be safe havens, are transformed into scenes of death, devastation, and despair," he wrote.

Meanwhile the UN's Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs says that Israeli bombardments and armed clashes around Shifa hospital have "intensified" since Saturday afternoon.

"Critical infrastructure, including the oxygen station, water tanks and a well, the cardiovascular facility, and the maternity ward, was da


Calls for aid to be dropped on Gaza
Palestinian Prime Minister Mohammed Shtayyeh on Monday called on the UN and EU to "drop aid" on the Gaza Strip to support civilians trapped in the war between Israel and Palestinian Hamas.

“I call on the United Nations and the European Union to drop aid on the Gaza Strip , particularly in the north, as has been done many times around the world,” Shtayyeh said during the council of ministers of the Palestinian Authority in Ramallah, in the occupied West Bank.

He also called for more delivery of humanitarian aid by road, with “the opening of aid corridors, which are not limited to the Rafah crossing point”.

The Rafah terminal, on the border with Egypt, is the only one currently through which trucks carrying food, medicines, medical supplies, bottled water, blankets, tents and hygiene products enter.

UN to halt Gaza operations in next '48 hours' as fuel runs out
The United Nations agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) said on Monday that fuel shortages mean that it will have to suspend its aid operations in Gaza within two days.

Almost 100 pro-Palestinian events banned in Germany
German authorities have banned at least 99 pro-Palestinian events since the Israel-Hamas war broke out, the Interior Ministry said on Monday.

The bans on demonstrations and other events were justified by fears that antisemitic offenses could occur.

The ministry said that a total of 1,068 events related to the war had actually taken place, including 553 pro-Israeli and 515 pro-Palestinian events.

The ministry warned that the numbers were provisional due to possible delays in transmitting data from the Federal Criminal Police Office.

Some 3,150 criminal offenses were also recorded in connection with the war and related events. Most of these were offenses of resistance, incitement to hatred and damage of property.

Germany was recently condemned by a number of Muslim-majority countries during a UN review of its human rights record. They accused it of restricting freedom of speech by refusing to allow many pro-Palestinian protests to go ahead.

Doctors race to save newborns as Israel says it’s battling Hamas around Gaza’s largest hospital



Premature babies at Gaza’s largest hospital are being wrapped in foil and placed next to hot water in a desperate bid to keep them alive in “catastrophic” conditions, the hospital director has warned, as Israeli firepower pounds surrounding streets and remaining fuel reserves dry up, leaving the facility unable to function.

Staff at the Al-Shifa hospital were fighting to keep the newborns alive and warm after oxygen supplies ran out and they had to move the babies by hand from the neonatal unit’s incubators to a different part of the hospital. Meanwhile, a reporter for the Al Arabiya network who was inside the hospital told CNN that people were trapped there, too scared to flee due to the heavy fighting.

“There is no more water, food, milk for children and babies… the situation in the hospital is catastrophic,” the director of the medical center, Dr. Muhammad Abu Salmiya, told CNN on Monday.

Hamas has command node under Al-Shifa hospital, US official says


A US official with knowledge of American intelligence says Hamas has a command node under the Al-Shifa hospital, uses fuel intended for the hospital and its fighters regularly cluster in and around Al-Shifa.

Hamas and hospital officials have denied the command center accusation.

The US official's information comes after comments made Sunday by a top White House official that the hospital, which is the largest one in Gaza, was being used not just to treat civilians.

“You can see even from open-source reporting that Hamas does use hospitals, along with a lot of other civilian facilities, for command-and-control, for storing weapons, for housing its fighters,” National Security adviser Jake Sullivan said Sunday on CNN’s State of the Union. “Without getting into this specific hospital or that specific claim, this is Hamas' track record, both historically and in this conflict."

Al-Shifa hospital buries dead in mass grave — report
Al-Shifa hospital, the largest hospital in Gaza, has had to bury dead patients in a mass grave, the AFP news agency reported, citing the hospital's director.

"There are bodies littered in the hospital complex and there is no longer electricity at the morgues," AFP quoted Mohammed Abu Salmia as saying.

The agency reported that 179 bodies had been interred so far.

The Reuters news agency cited a surgeon and a Hamas-run Health Ministry spokesman as saying the hospital was planning to bury more than 100 bodies in the hospital compound.

"We are planning to bury them today in a mass grave inside the al-Shifa medical complex. It is going to be very dangerous as we don't have any cover or protection from the ICRC [International Committee of the Red Cross], but we have no other options, the corpses of the martyrs began to decompose," said Health Ministry spokesman Ashraf Al-Qidra. "The men are digging right now as we speak."
