Freedom Flotilla to sail for Gaza again after earlier ship seized
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition says it is preparing to launch another aid mission to Gaza, weeks after Israeli forces seized one of its vessels in international waters. The group confirmed that its next boat, named Handala, will depart from the Italian port of Siracusa on 13 July in a renewed effort to challenge Israel's blockade of the coastal enclave. In a post on X, the coalition said, 'The mission is for the children of Gaza.' The vessel is named after Handala, a cartoon figure of a 10-year-old boy who has come to symbolise Palestinian resistance. Israeli forces previously intercepted the aid ship Madleen about 185km off the Gaza coast, detaining 12 activists on board, including Swedish climate activist Greta Thunberg. All were later deported.

Israeli court allows use of dead soldier's sperm for surrogacy
An Israeli court has approved the use of a soldier's sperm killed by Hamas, to conceive a child via surrogacy, granting his mother's request to have a grandchild after his death in Gaza. According to Channel 12, the court authorised the highly unusual procedure for Maor Eisenkot, an Israeli combat soldier killed during operations in Gaza in December 2023. The ruling marks the first of its kind since Israel's war on Gaza started. The decision was based on testimony alleging that the soldier had spoken about wanting to have children, including permitting the use of his sperm posthumously—even by someone he had never met. His mother reportedly learned of his wishes only after his death, through a friend he had confided in during childhood.
