Desperation as Gaza suffers through heatwave - and a sense of hopelessness in Tel Aviv
Sunday, 10 August 2025 () As if life in Gaza wasn't hard enough, there is now a heatwave - compounding the problems of minimal water, food and the basics you need to keep a family alive.
Israel has launched “Operation Dawn,” a surprise military drill led by IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, to test the army’s readiness for large-scale attacks and multi-front conflicts. The unannounced exercise simulates potential war scenarios across all theatres, assessing decision-making speed, coordination, and combat preparedness. The move comes amid plans for a possible Gaza takeover, following a high-level security meeting chaired by Prime Minister Netanyahu. The Security Cabinet affirmed the IDF’s ability to execute any decision regarding the ongoing Gaza campaign.

In one of the largest police operations in over a decade, 474 people were arrested in central London during a mass protest against the UK’s ban on Palestine Action. The Metropolitan Police confirmed 466 arrests for “showing support” for the proscribed group, plus eight others for offences including assaulting officers. The protest, organised by Defend Our Juries, saw hundreds holding signs opposing genocide and supporting Palestine Action.
Critics, including Amnesty International, slammed the arrests as “deeply concerning” and a threat to free speech, saying the demonstrators were peaceful. The government defended the ban, calling Palestine Action a non-peaceful group, while announcing £8.5m in additional aid to Gaza. The crackdown follows the June proscription of the group after activists vandalised RAF aircraft in protest over UK arms sales to Israel.

Turkey’s Foreign Minister Hakan Fidan has issued a chilling warning to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over his Gaza City occupation plan, accusing him of genocide and expansionism. Fidan declared Netanyahu would “drown in the blood of people he condemned to starvation” and vowed his “tyranny will be erased from history.” Ankara condemned the plan as a war crime, urged a ceasefire, and called on the UN to act. With over 61,200 dead, Gaza faces famine and escalating international legal action.
