Gaza: +15 Palestinians seeking aid killed in 24h
Shafaq News – Gaza Israeli forces killed 18 Palestinians seeking humanitarian aid in the past 24 hours, while another 41 were injured, Gaza's Health Ministry reported on Sunday. Since the war began in October 2023, at least 583 civilians have died while trying to access food assistance, with more than 4,100 wounded under similar circumstances, according to the Health Ministry. The Palestinian Central Bureau of Statistics has documented 56,412 total deaths since then, the vast majority of women and children. James Elder, UNICEF's spokesperson in Palestine, described the crisis to Al Jazeera as 'a disgrace to the international community,' accusing Israel of starving and then killing civilians, and ignoring international law while the world remains silent. Meanwhile, Hamas condemned an Israeli drone strike captured in footage aired by Al Jazeera, which showed a man carrying a sack of flour being targeted in Gaza City's Shujaiya neighborhood. #الجزيرة تحصل على مشاهد وثقت قصف مسيّرة للاحتلال فلسطينيا يحمل كيسا من الطحين على ظهره بحي #الشجاعية #حرب_غزة #الأخبار — قناة الجزيرة (@AJArabic) June 29, 2025 The group called the strike a 'horrific crime' and cited it as evidence of what it described as a deliberate starvation policy by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government. It also urged international courts and human rights organizations to hold Israel accountable for what it called 'savage, sadistic practices.' لحظة إطلاق النار على منتظري المساعدات في #غزة أثناء محاولتهم الوصول إلى مراكز توزيع المساعدات الأمريكية #حرب_غزة — قناة الجزيرة (@AJArabic) June 29, 2025

Hamas: ceasefire conditions report completely false
On Sunday, Hamas denounced recent media claims about its alleged conditions for a ceasefire in Gaza as a 'blatant fabrication' that misrepresents its official stance and serves Israeli interests. In a statement, the Palestinian group denied the details circulated by Sky News Arabia —which cited an unnamed Palestinian source—describing them as 'completely unfounded.' The report claimed Hamas demanded guarantees to protect its political leadership abroad, safeguard external assets, and secure a role in post-war Gaza. 'These lies contradict our clear, public positions,' Hamas said, asserting that its 'demands are never conveyed through anonymous leaks," and accusing the outlet of fueling incitement against the Palestinian resistance and attempting to distract from ongoing Israeli military operations. Meanwhile, US President Donald Trump, who previously predicted an agreement could be reached within a week, called on Sunday for an immediate halt to the fighting. 'MAKE THE DEAL IN GAZA. GET THE HOSTAGES BACK!!! DJT,' he wrote on Truth Social.

Israel prison strike in Iran killed over 70
Shafaq News – Tehran The Israeli missile strike on Iran's Evin Prison killed at least 71 people, including prison staff, inmates, conscripts, and nearby residents, the Iranian judiciary revealed on Sunday. The attack had occurred on June 22, damaging multiple buildings inside the high-security facility, including the clinic, engineering wing, and visitation hall, according to Tasnim News Agency. Israel's Army Radio previously acknowledged the strike on the prison, which allegedly holds "political prisoners and opposition figures.' Judiciary spokesperson Asghar Jahangir called the incident 'a fully-fledged crime,' adding that casualties included civilians living near the site and family members visiting inmates at the time. Meanwhile, judiciary sources denied claims that Evin's warden, Hedayatollah Farzadi, had prior knowledge of the attack and escaped, confirming that he was inside one of the prison wards with a visiting delegation during the strike.
