Police investigate destruction of Israeli hostage memorial at Bondi Beach

New South Wales Police say they are investigating after a memorial to Israeli hostages taken by Hamas was disrupted at Bondi Beach.

Over 200 towels, thongs and posters of victims were put up on a fence along the beach by the Australian Jewish community early this morning.

"Officers from Eastern Suburbs Police Area Command had commenced an investigation following reports of an alleged incident at Bondi Beach," a New South Wales police spokesperson said.

"Anyone with information should call Waverly police."

No mention of what happened. Did someone steal a towel? Scrawl swastikas along the pavement? We just donot know. "Disrupted".

Israeli Defense Minister: We are not interested in an additional war, but we are ready on the northern border

I guess the latest Israeli PR move is to have some journalists go on Twitter and claim to have seen some video of all these “Hamas atrocities”. No you can’t see it or verify it, just trust me bro.

Former Israeli minister calls for ‘erasure’ of Gaza

Galit Distel Atbaryan, a member of parliament from Prime Minister Netanyahu’s right-wing Likud party, has tweeted that Israel’s divided politicians should unite and instead erase “all of Gaza from the face of the earth”.

Distel Atbaryan, who was public diplomacy minister until mid-October, and was previously information minister, wrote the incendiary tweet after she said she viewed footage of Hamas’s attack on Israel on October 7.

The politician added that “Gazan monsters” had the option of heading to Egypt or dying, and said that there should be “fire and smoke on the heads of Nazis” in the occupied West Bank.

Brian Berletic and his circles are pushing the idea that the US is actively trying to provoke Iran, and wants this to turn into a conflict that they can present Iran as the aggressor in. They're citiing a think tank paper where the strategy put forward would be to use Israel as a proxy to incite Iran into a conflict.

Saw a video of an alt-righter harrassing Dan Crenshaw for supporting Ukraine. It was very telling how Dan would smugly chuckle off being called a war monger or caring more about Ukraine than domestic issues, but getting called a dwarf was what caused him to snap.

Insulting propaganda and whitewashing from the nyt

The aircraft are MQ-9 Reapers operated by U.S. Special Operations

The unarmed surveillance flights are not supporting Israeli military operations on the ground, according to the Defense Department officials. Two officials said the goal was to assist in locating hostages, monitor for signs of life and pass potential leads to the Israel Defense Forces.

This is the first time that Hezbollah has officially claimed the use of suicide drones in its battle against Israel since October 7th.

Hospital in Gaza scrambles to treat dozens of children after main generator stops working, doctor says

Medical staff at Kamal Adwan Hospital in northern Gaza are trying to provide care to more than 60 injured children, including 13 on mechanical ventilation, despite a lack of medical supplies and after the hospital's main generator stopped working due to lack of fuel, a pediatrician at the hospital told CNN on Saturday.

Most of the children who came to the emergency department on Saturday were in "very critical" condition, said Dr. Husam Abu Safyia, a pediatrician at the medical center.

The main hospital generator stopped working Friday and the hospital is relying on a small electric generator that is being used "just for intensive care units," he said in a message to CNN.

The Palestinian Ministry of Health in Ramallah warned Saturday of a "catastrophe within Gaza hospitals," adding that wounded people are "taking their last breaths" due to the lack of medical resources and fuel.

I edited this so it's the entire update.

What did we learn from the IDF's Daniel Hagari?

A few moments ago we heard from IDF spokesperson Daniel Hagari who was giving the Israeli military’s daily press briefing. Here’s a summary of what he said:

• Israeli fighter jets attacked the Jabalia refugee camp in Gaza, resulting in senior commander Ibrahim Biari being killed

• Several other Hamas members who were with the commander in the building and underground were also killed

• The attack also caused the collapse of Hamas’s underground infrastructure – the purpose of this infrastructure was to carry out terrorist activities against the Israeli forces

• Hagari said Hamas continues to use the civilian population as shields intentionally "and in a very cruel and brutal manner"

• Hagari repeated the IDF’s call for people in the north of Gaza to head south

 

As a reminder, the BBC is not able to immediately verify most battlefield claims

Rant - the BBC update page is fucking shit.

My (generally good on Palestine) lib friend texted me about Hamas mutilations during the Al-Aqsa Flood. I haven't been following the specifics of what specifically happened on that day because I figured we're in a fog of war and figured I'd wait until an actual report, but now I feel like I need to know some details.

My impression was that most of the charges of mutilation (like the 40 decapitated babies) were basically only coming from unsupported IOF claims - is this correct or am I just in a bubble? Were there charges of mutilation and/or SA that are generally agreed by both sides to have occurred?

(I plan to defend the Flood in my response either way, I just don't want to be caught off guard)
