Six killed, several others wounded in Israeli strike on Gaza City port
Israel has waged a military onslaught on the Strip since 7 October 2023, killing 73,399 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 174,310 others. It has destroyed 90% of the Strip’s infrastructure, with the cost of Gaza reconstruction estimated at $70 billion.
Since the Gaza ceasefire agreement went into effect on October 11, 2025, Israel has killed over 1,265 Palestinians and injured 4,198 others. The bodies of 813 slain Palestinians have been recovered during the same period.
In the last 24 hours, the bodies of five slain Palestinians along with 18 casualties were admitted to Gaza hospitals.
Moreover, at least 10,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.
Extremist Israeli minister calls for killing ’30 to 40′ Palestinians in Gaza each night
“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,“ he said. “I think targeted assassinations should be carried out in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” said the far-right Israeli minister.
“Not just those who pose an immediate threat, there are people there who are not worthy of life. They shouldn’t live. They’re not even people,” added Ben-Gvir.
Ben-Gvir also promised Braslavski that he would seek to allow him to personally take part if prisoners are executed under Israel’s recently enacted death penalty law for Palestinians convicted in military courts of deadly attacks on Israelis.

Deadly dawn in south Lebanon: 11 killed in Israeli strikes on Ansar and Deir el-Zahrani
Since 3:30 a.m., southern Lebanon has woken up to one of the deadliest days since the large-scale fighting ended last June.
Inside a house in Ansar, two families who had been displaced from their areas during the previous war were seeking shelter in what they hoped would be a safer location.
The strike killed seven people, including children and two women, and wounded others, turning their displacement from war into death in a place of refuge.
The strike on Ansar was not the only attack.

Two More Israeli Soldiers Kill Themselves Amid Crisis Driven by Horrors of Genocide
According to the Israeli newspaper Haaretz, two female IDF troops—a combat soldier and an intelligence officer—died by suicide this week. Israeli Military Police said they are investigating both deaths, which bring the number of active duty IDF troops who have killed themselves this year to at least 16. Haaretz said that at least nine former IDF soldiers have also committed suicide after completing their military service in 2026.
The latest deaths underscore what military officials, mental health professionals, and veterans have increasingly described as one of the most severe psychological crises the Israeli military has faced in decades.

House Rule Advances 2027 NDAA With Section to Integrate US and Israeli Militaries
The House on Tuesday approved a procedural vote to advance the $1.15 trillion 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, which includes a section to further integrate the US and Israeli militaries, a plan that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has said was his idea.
The rule to allow floor debate and a vote on the NDAA and several pieces of legislation passed in a 214-211 vote, and a final vote on the House’s version of the NDAA is expected to take place on Wednesday. The procedural step came after the House Rules Committee denied a vote on an amendment introduced by Rep. Thomas Massie (R-KY) to strip Section 219, the Israeli integration plan, from the bill.

‚Nowhere Is Safe‘: Israel Kills Gaza Families and Bombs Hospital Despite Ceasefire
Israel‘s US-backed assault on Gaza has left more than 250,000 Palestinians dead, maimed, or missing since October 2023 and around 2 million people forcibly displaced, starved, or sickened. Over 21,500 children—1,022 of them babies—are among the more than 73,000 Palestinians killed by Israeli forces during the war that scholars, jurists, human rights groups, a panel of United Nations experts, and others say is a genocide.
Israel is facing a genocide case filed by South Africa at the International Court of Justice and supported by nearly 20 nations, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Yoav Gallant—his former defense minister who ordered the „complete siege“ on Gaza that fueled famine and disease—are wanted by the International Criminal Court for alleged crimes against humanity and war crimes, including murder and forced starvation.
Trump ‚Planning for Wider War‘ in Iran—With Possible Ground Invasion—as US Bombing Escalates
An unnamed US official told The Washington Post on Sunday that the Trump administration is „planning for a wider war“ in Iran, though the official warned that US forces likely lack the weapons capacity to „safely sustain operations.“ The official said they don‘t believe that „the White House is aware of that.“
The anonymous official‘s comments corroborated reporting last week indicating that Trump, who has not sought or received congressional authorization for the Iran war, is leaning toward expanding the assault, possibly with ground forces.
„Trump hosted a Situation Room meeting Tuesday evening to discuss the potential seizure of Kharg Island and other territory along the Strait of Hormuz using US troops, as well as the potential bombing of a tunnel complex at Pickaxe Mountain, a nuclear-linked site the US has yet to target,“ The Wall Street Journal reported. „Expanding airstrikes against more targets in Iran, including energy sites, also remains a possibility.“
‘Counting down minutes to ground invasion’: Iran dares US as renewed conflict enters 10th day
Iran on Monday dared the United States to attempt a ground invasion of the country as renewed hostilities entered their 10th day.
Iranian Foreign Ministry Spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said the United States would face “consequences of any adventure” to seize Kharg Island and warned that the Iranian leadership was “counting down the minutes to welcome” US forces in the event of a ground invasion.
Is the United States Preparing for a Ground Invasion of #Iran?
(July 16, 2026)
The escalating pattern of U.S. strikes against southern Iran in recent days – particularly over the past several hours – may point to a gradual strategy aimed at preparing the ground for a potential deployment of ground forces. Such an operation, if it were to materialize, could be intended to seize control of Iran’s southern coastal belt in order to remove Iranian control over the Strait of Hormuz.
‘Destroy Gaza including kidnapped soldiers’ – leaked clip again proves Israel’s Hannibal Directive
(June 29, 2026)
The clip was shot very early on the morning of the raid. We know this because Israeli forces conducted ‘Hannibal Directive attacks’ on its own people, on average around three times an hour, from just after 6am that day until after 9pm. The Hannibal order was clarified as “kill anything that moves” – hundreds of Israelis were killed, including most of those slain at the ‘Nova’ music festival.
Israeli media admit this. Israeli military figures have admitted killing an “immense” number of their own people. Israel’s then-defence minister, wanted war criminal Yo’av Gallant, admitted it – and said he wished it had been used more. Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu allegedly even tried to have one specific captured soldier killed before his release from Gaza to prevent a ceasefire.
UK politicians and media continue to keep silent about it – and even attack those who expose it.
Geleaktes Video belegt: Israel hat in Gaza die Hannibal-Direktive ausgerufen
(July 17, 2026)
Dieser Artikel ist eine erweiterte Neuauflage eines Artikels zur Hannibal-Direktive, der 2024 auf den NachDenkSeiten erschienen ist.
Das Video wurde offenbar in den Morgenstunden im israelischen Polizei-Kommandozentrum in Jerusalem aufgenommen. Zu sehen ist ein Gespräch zwischen dem damaligen israelischen Polizeichef Kobi Shabtai und anderen hochrangigen Vertretern von Polizei und Militär. Dort fällt der entscheidende Satz. „Nein in Gaza. Zerstört alles. Zusammen mit den entführten Soldaten.“ Kurze Zeit später betritt der damalige Minister für Öffentliche Sicherheit, Itamar Ben-Gvir, den Raum und unterbindet das weitere Filmen.
MoPH: Cumulative toll of aggression since March 2 reached 4,324 martyrs, 12,224 wounded

Senate Democrats Block Advancement of $1.1 Trillion NDAA Over Iran War
Senate Democrats on Tuesday blocked the advancement of the 2027 National Defense Authorization Act, citing President Trump’s war with Iran, which continues to rage following the collapse of the US-Iran Memorandum of Understanding.
The NDAA would provide the Pentagon with over $1.1 trillion in funding as part of the White House’s plan for a $1.5 trillion military budget for 2027, a nearly 50% increase from this year. The bill also includes an amendment, Section 1217, to further merge the US and Israeli militaries under a plan being pushed by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
A procedural vote of 50-46 fell well short of the 60 votes that it needed to advance the NDAA. Every Democrat, except two who weren’t present for the vote — Senators Jon Fetterman (PA) and Alex Padilla (CA) — voted against advancing the sprawling military spending bill.
How Section 219, the US-Israel Military Merger, Would Thwart American Democracy
(July 13, 2026)
The House provision, which has a Senate version known as Section 1217, would also forbid the president of the United States from limiting intelligence collaboration with Israel over its human rights abuses. If the President ever wants to limit such collaboration, he or she must tell Congress and can only cite American national security as a basis.
In other words, these bills would connect the US and Israeli militaries in unprecedented ways and make it exceedingly difficult for any future president to unwind this partnership with a foreign government.
Congressional Proposal Could Deepen US Complicity
(June 16, 2026)
Buried in the US$1.15 trillion National Defense Authorization Act is a provision that would deepen US military cooperation with Israel while walling that cooperation off from further congressional oversight.
Section 219 (formerly section 224) creates the role of an “executive agent” focused on folding Israeli technology into US weapons programs, and vice versa, including in missile and air defense technologies as well as artificial intelligence, quantum computing, cyberwarfare, and autonomous systems. Once implemented, the provision would speed efforts to embed Israeli technologies into US weapons systems in ways almost never codified into law, even for allies. As the protracted experience with unwinding Turkish participation in the F-35 program shows, practically, integration binds the United States to rely on producers in ways that become next to impossible to walk back later, even if lawmakers want to.
(…)
Section 219 also calls for “data fusion.” In defense doctrine, data fusion means combining feeds from many sensors and intelligence sources into a single targeting picture. The United States would be absorbing Israeli data, which may have been collected under problematic mass surveillance programs. Moreover, section 219 would be reinforced by section 622 of the intelligence appropriations bill, which mandates intelligence sharing and would further promote combining US intelligence streams with Israeli ones that could then be used by the Israeli military for targeting.
Renewed war with Iran threatens to derail congressional agenda
Danielle Pletka, a distinguished senior fellow in foreign and defense policy at the American Enterprise Institute, said Trump has a military plan on his desk that U.S. commanders believe could force Iran to reopen the Strait of Hormuz without making any major concessions to its theocratic regime.
“The president has had on his desk for months now a 10- to 14-day plan that would do what was necessary to finish out the mission of the war on Iran. It would take out the remaining missile sites we saw them work on, the remaining parts of their defense-industrial complex, the remaining nuclear [program] and some of the critical [Iranian Revolutionary Guard Corps] emplacements, and do that in a way that Centcom feels would mean we could walk away, not have a deal, and stop worrying about Iran for a little while,” she said.
“Will it take 10 to 14 days? Who knows? Is the president going to follow that plan? Who knows?” she said.
