Grant Shapps authorises first UK airdrop in Gaza

The UK has airdropped food supplies into Gaza for the first time as the Defence Secretary urged Israel to allow more aid into the war-torn territory.

Grant Shapps authorised the airdrop following an assessed reduction in threat to the military mission and risk to civilians.

An RAF A400M aircraft flew from Amman to drop the supplies along Gaza’s northern coastline as part of a Jordanian-led international aid mission, according to the Ministry of Defence.

40,000 Troops, Air Defence & Tanks | Egypt fortifies Gaza border, to BLOCK entry to fleeing Gazans

Egypt is reinforcing its border with Gaza, deploying 40,000 troops, tanks, and air defense systems to block fleeing Palestinians amid Israel’s escalating assault. Officials fear over a million Gazans may attempt to cross into Sinai if Israel takes Gaza City, sparking chaos and a humanitarian disaster. While Cairo insists it rejects any forced displacement as a red line, IDF claims coordination with Egypt raise suspicions of complicity. Critics say Egypt is working hand-in-glove with Israel to keep Gazans trapped. #Egypt #Gaza #Israel #Palestine #Sinai #Gazans #MilitaryDeployment #HumanitarianCrisis #BorderCrisis #MiddleEastConflict #OperationGideonsChariots #GazaWar #PalestinianRefugees #EgyptIsrael #NationalSecurity #Displacement #WarInGaza #BreakingNews #IDF #RedLine #GazansTrapped #EgyptGazaBorder #GlobalCrisis #PalestineUnderAttack #MilitaryEscalation Also Read Egypt and Eni-Total Consortium Set to Sign Major Agreement on Cypriot Natural Gas Export :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/egypt-eni-total-consortium-sign-deal-cypriot-natural-gas-export-011-4052177.html?ref=DMDesc 17 People Missing After Tourist Yacht Sinks in Red Sea Following High Waves Warning :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/tourist-yacht-sinks-red-sea-17-missing-011-3998351.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Demands Indefinite Israeli Control Over Gaza-Egypt Border :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-netanyahu-control-gaza-egypt-border-011-3925991.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.420~

Al-Qassem Tackles Israeli Overnight Attack on Gaza; Israel Launches ‘FINAL OFFENSIVE’; 34 KILLED

Al-Qassem Brigades hit back as Israel launches what it calls its ‘final offensive’ on Gaza. Overnight shelling rocked Gaza City’s suburbs of Sabra, Shejaia, Tuffah, and Jabalia, leaving at least 34 Palestinians dead just a day after the Nasser Hospital strike killed 20, including journalists. Footage shows families fleeing amid bombardments as thousands of homes are destroyed. Netanyahu calls the hospital strike a “tragic mishap,” but civilians say Gaza is being remapped into death zones. With over 2,100 killed since August 6 and starvation rising, is this the final chapter in Gaza’s war? #Israel #Gaza #FinalOffensive #Palestine #AlQassem #OvernightStrikes #Netanyahu #MiddleEastCrisis #WarCrimes #BreakingNews #GazaUnderAttack #HumanitarianCrisis #CeasefireNow #IDF #JournalistsKilled #StarvationInGaza #UN #WarFootage #GlobalCrisis Also Read UN Declares Famine In Gaza City, Describes Situation As Humanitarian Disaster :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/un-declares-famine-in-gaza-city-describes-situation-as-humanitarian-disaster-011-7838467.html?ref=DMDesc Israel Kills 5 Al Jazeera Journalist In Gaza :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/israel-kills-5-al-jazeera-journalist-in-gaza-011-7826025.html?ref=DMDesc Netanyahu Defends Expanded Military Offensive in Gaza Amid Domestic and International Criticism :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/netanyahu-defends-new-military-offensive-in-gaza-011-7825995.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~PR.274~ED.346~GR.122~

474 Arrested In UK’s Biggest Anti-Netanyahu Protest As Terrorism Law Sparks Palestine Action Outrage

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. #LondonProtest #PalestineAction #MassArrests #TerrorismLaw #FreeSpeech #CivilLiberties #HumanRights #UKPolitics #MetPolice #Whitehall #ParliamentSquare #AmnestyInternational #ProtestRights #MiddleEast #Gaza #Israel #UKNews #PoliceCrackdown #Democracy #BreakingNews

Hamas has condemned Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu’s “Greater Israel” remarks as “madness” and a threat to regional stability, urging Arab states to cut ties with Israel and back Palestinian resistance. Hamas accused Israel of using settler violence as part of an annexation strategy in the West Bank, vowing continued defiance against occupation. Iran’s Foreign Ministry also slammed the plan, warning it targets territories in Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria.

‘Greater Israel Or Fascist Plot’ Iran Slams Netanyahu For Israel’s Expansion Plan As Gaza Starves

Iran has issued a fierce denunciation of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s recent remarks promoting the so-called “Greater Israel” project, branding it a “diabolical idea” rooted in fascist intent. Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei accused Netanyahu of openly declaring his regime’s ambition to seize territory from Egypt, Jordan, Lebanon, and Syria in a blatant violation of the UN Charter and international law. Baghaei condemned the plan as a direct assault on regional sovereignty, warning it would impose occupation over Muslim nations and expand ongoing atrocities in Palestine. The spokesman also urged the UN, the Organization of Islamic Cooperation, and all world governments to condemn the scheme. Drawing attention to the worsening humanitarian disaster in Gaza, he called for urgent Arab and Muslim unity to deliver aid, end the genocide, and hold Israeli leaders fully accountable for war crimes and systemic violations. #Iran #Netanyahu #GreaterIsrael #FascistIntent #MiddleEast #Palestine #Gaza #WarCrimes #InternationalLaw #UNCharter #OIC #ArabUnity #MuslimUnity #StopGenocide #HumanRights #IsraelPalestine #Occupation #RegionalSecurity #EndApartheid #GlobalCondemnation ~HT.410~GR.124~ED.103~

In an unprecedented move, Israeli Minister Itamar Ben Gvir prayed on the Temple Mount during Tisha B’Av, defying long-held protocols that prohibit overt Jewish prayer at the site. His actions sparked strong condemnation from the Palestinian Authority, Jordan, and Saudi Arabia. Over 1,200 Jewish worshippers visited the contested holy site, intensifying tensions. Critics say this violated the status quo agreement. The Temple Mount, home to Al Aqsa Mosque and the Dome of the Rock, remains a core flashpoint in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. Netanyahu insists policy “has not changed.” #BenGvir #TempleMount #TishaBAv #AlAqsa #IsraelPolitics #MiddleEast #Jerusalem #StatusQuo #HolySite #ReligiousTensions #IsraeliPalestinianConflict #Netanyahu #PA #SaudiArabia #Jordan #AlAqsaMosque #DomeOfTheRock #JewishPrayer #BreakingNews #FarRightPolitics #InternationalCondemnation #AFPFootage #TempleMountVisit #ReligiousFlashpoint #MiddleEastNews #JerusalemConflict #HolySiteTensions #WorshipRights #GeoPolitics #ConflictZone ~ED.103~HT.408~

France Ramps Up Action After Palestine Recognition With Massive Aid Drop And Ceasefire Push | Video [Video]

France Ramps Up Action After Palestine Recognition With Massive Aid Drop And Ceasefire Push | Video

France has launched an airdrop mission delivering 40 tonnes of emergency food aid into Gaza, in a dramatic response to an escalating famine crisis in the embattled Strip. Each of the four flights carried 10 tonnes of supplies, Foreign Minister Jean‑NoĂ«l Barrot confirmed—though he warned the gesture remains “insufficient.” Barrot and President Macron demanded that Israel quickly reopen air, land, and sea routes to allow unhindered aid access, calling current conditions “absolutely intolerable.” A recent WHO report showed that since July, 5,000 children under five have been treated for acute malnutrition, and at least 63 have died of starvation. The move follows weeks of humanitarian pauses and airdrops by allies including Jordan, the UAE, Germany, and the UK—but global agencies warn only sustained land convoys can truly meet the desperate needs. Against the backdrop of rising international pressure and US envoy visits, France’s action adds fresh urgency to the crisis. #FranceAidGaza #GazaFamine #HumanitarianAirdrop #JeanNoelBarrot #Macron #OpenAidCorridors #WHOReport #ChildMalnutrition #GazaCrisis #IsraelAidRestrictions #HumanitarianAccess #JordanUAEFlights #GermanyAid #UKAidDrop #FamineInGaza #StarvationDeaths #CeasefirePressure #GlobalAidPush #LandRoutesNeeded #UrgentRelief ~GR.124~HT.408~

Turkey On HIGH Alert: Syria SHUTS Border With Turkey As Massive Wildfires Rage Just 4KM From Border

Syria has shut the Kassab border crossing with Turkey as massive wildfires edge dangerously close to the Turkish province of Hatay. Sparked amid severe drought and recent sectarian unrest, the fires have destroyed swathes of Syria’s green belt and now threaten cross-border regions. Firefighters from Turkey, Jordan, and Iraq joined Syrian civil defense teams to battle the blaze. With Attera burning just 4 km from the Turkish border, Ankara is on high alert. Officials say the spread is due to extreme heat and wind—not arson. #SyriaWildfires #TurkeyBorder #SyriaCrisis #KassabCrossing #Hatay #MiddleEastNews #RedAlert #FireCrisis #DroughtDisaster #ClimateEmergency #Attera #Zahia #CivilDefense #WildfireAlert #TurkeySyria #RegionalTension #ForestFires #GreenBeltLoss #EnvironmentalDisaster #Firefighters #BorderCrisis #BreakingNews #SyriaTurmoil #ClimateImpact #Deforestation #IllegalLogging #Heatwave #WildfireSpread #EasternMediterranean #CrossBorderThreat Also Read Turkey Arrests LeMan Magazine Editor-in-Chief Over Prophet Mohammed Cartoon :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-arrests-leman-magazine-editor-in-chief-over-prophet-mohammed-cartoon-7799895.html?ref=DMDesc Syria's Government and Kurdish Forces Still Disagree on Merging Plans After Recent Talks :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/syrias-government-kurds-odds-merging-forces-us-envoy-011-7796579.html?ref=DMDesc Turkey Junks Claims Of Its Involvement In Maintenance Of Crashed Ahmedabad-London Air India Dreamliner :: https://www.oneindia.com/international/turkey-junks-claims-of-its-involvement-in-maintenance-of-crashed-ahmedabad-london-air-india-dreamlin-4182063.html?ref=DMDesc ~HT.410~ED.102~
