Seventeen U.S. Senate Democrats, led by a Jewish senator, are demanding accountability from Secretary of State Marco Rubio after a deadly Israeli airstrike in Gaza killed six journalists, including prominent Al Jazeera reporter Anas al-Sharif. Lawmakers called the strike part of Israel’s “systematic targeting of journalists,” accusing the Israeli government of silencing media voices exposing Gaza’s devastation. In their letter, the senators urged Rubio to press Israel for transparency, citing violations of international law and warning of risks to U.S. credibility and national security. Israel has claimed al-Sharif was tied to Hamas, but has offered no compelling evidence. The senators argue that targeting journalists is unacceptable and have demanded greater media access inside Gaza. The call underscores rising political pressure in Washington over Israel’s conduct in the war and its treatment of reporters covering one of the world’s most dangerous conflict zones.

Israel’s Defense Minister Israel Katz has approved Operation Gideon’s Chariots II, a major IDF plan to capture Gaza City. Backed by Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir, the operation will call up 60,000 reservists to reinforce troops already deployed. Civilians will be evacuated south before the offensive, aimed at isolating Hamas. Families of hostages expressed concern over risks, while Egypt’s ceasefire proposal was rejected for excluding all hostages. Katz declared Israel is at a decisive stage and vowed no hostage will be left behind.

In a stunning battlefield reversal, the IDF admitted to its first major failure in southern Gaza after Hamas fighters launched a sudden tunnel ambush. Over 20 Hamas operatives emerged, splitting into groups and striking with rifles, grenades, and RPGs. The clash led to intense close combat, leaving three Israeli soldiers wounded and several Hamas fighters dead. Despite airstrikes and tanks being called in, eight militants escaped underground. Analysts say this attack is a warning of the brutal battles ahead if Israel pushes deeper into Gaza.

Gaza Aid Attacks have turned humanitarian lifelines into death traps. Despite Israel’s July 27 pledge of daily military pauses, relentless strikes on aid routes have left over 1,373 Palestinians dead since May 27 — many killed while simply searching for food. In Zikim, Khan Younis, Middle Gaza, Rafah, and Deir el-Balah, grieving families recount horror: children killed, homes destroyed, and flour stained with blood. As food convoys are bombed and chaos engulfs distribution, Gaza’s humanitarian crisis deepens. The Gaza Aid Attacks are now symbolic of the deadly collapse of international protection in war zones.

Hamas' Al-Qassam Brigades claim a major victory after ambushing Israeli tanks entering Deir al-Balah in central Gaza. Shocking video released by Hamas shows several IDF tanks and APCs destroyed by rockets and explosives, with Israeli soldiers believed trapped or killed. This marks a serious blow to Israel’s first major incursion into the area in months. While the IDF insists it’s targeting terror infrastructure, Hamas says it successfully thwarted the offensive, intensifying the already deadly conflict in Gaza.

In a devastating escalation, the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) have launched a full-scale assault on Deir al-Balah — the last standing city in Gaza — attacking by land, sea, and air. Medical sources report at least 65 Palestinians killed, including women and children, as residential areas, mosques, and shelters were struck.
This latest offensive follows a forced evacuation order from the Israeli military, which triggered a mass exodus of civilians already displaced by previous bombardments. Humanitarian agencies warn the situation is now “catastrophic,” with nowhere left to flee and growing fears of famine and mass civilian casualties.
We bring you the latest updates from the ground, as well as international reactions and the voices of those calling for an immediate ceasefire.

Israel has launched a wave of air strikes across Gaza, with northern Gaza City now a primary target following evacuation warnings from the Israeli military. At least 80 Palestinians have been killed since dawn, with dozens more wounded. Among the attacks was a strike on Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in Deir el-Balah, raising fears of an impending and intensified ground offensive. The strikes come amid growing international concern over escalating civilian casualties and the targeting of critical infrastructure in one of the region’s most densely populated areas.
