Palestinian journalist Lahham detention prolonged
The Palestinian Commission of Prisoners' Affairs stated, according to its lawyer, that the Israeli occupation authorities decided to extend the detention of prisoner journalist Nasser al-Lahham and transfer him to the Ofer Military Court until next Thursday.
Israeli forces arrested al-Lahham at dawn today after raiding his home in the town of Doha in the Bethlehem Governorate and completely destroying its contents, according to the Palestinian News Agency.
The number of journalists held in administrative detention in Israeli prisons, under the pretext of a "secret file," is (22), out of (55) in Israeli prisons, including (49) who have been detained since the beginning of the genocide.
The occupation continues to target journalists through what it calls detention on the grounds of "incitement" on social media. This form of detention has become a tool to suppress freedom of opinion and expression, and has become another facet of the crime of administrative detention. The majority of those arrested on the grounds of "incitement," against whom the occupation was unable to present an indictment, were later transferred to Administrative detention.
Journalists detained in enemy prisons and camps face all the same crimes as prisoners, including systematic torture, severe beatings, starvation, and medical neglect, in addition to the ongoing humiliation and abuse they are subjected to. This is in addition to the ongoing policies of theft and deprivation against them, and their detention in harsh and degrading detention conditions.

Gaza (A Humanitarian Catastrophe UnderThe Dark Reality of Gaza: Genocide, Displacement, and Silence)
As I browse the page of Brian Carlson, a passionate American human rights activist and visual artist, I'm struck by his unwavering commitment to defending human rights. Recently, he has focused his efforts on Gaza, where a genocidal war is being waged by Israel against the defenseless Palestinian people, all under the watchful eyes of the world. Through his art, Carson vividly depicts the horrific crimes against humanity occurring in the region. In a recent post on his Facebook page, he stated: Gaza is engulfed in a resounding humanitarian and moral crisis, raising a fundamental question: Will the United States and Israel escape accountability for what international observers have described as 'the largest documented genocide since World War II'? This question transcends mere moral condemnation; it serves as a crucial test of the international system's credibility and its ability to enforce justice. In the midst of this catastrophic scene, the situation continues to worsen in the absence of any political horizon. With explicit U.S.-Israeli complicity, peace mechanisms are paralyzed, and the humanitarian crisis deepens day by day. Experts warn that the lack of a post-war vision is not negligence but rather part of a systematic strategy to leave the territory in ruins, making it easier to control. Ground data clearly indicates that talk of a 'tactical Israeli withdrawal' is misleading; the heavy military presence continues throughout Gaza, meaning that illegal occupation and complete control over the land persist, effectively constituting a de facto annexation of Palestinian territories under the guise of military operations. At the heart of this tragedy lies a grim image of Gaza's future: Rafah Camp. With countries refusing to accept nearly two million Palestinian refugees, reliable reports indicate plans to establish 'the largest concentration camp in the world' in southern Gaza. The goal is to confine at least 600,000 Palestinians in a small area under strict military control. This is not a 'temporary camp'; it embodies the idea of permanent displacement under the guise of 'shelter,' creating an open prison under the guns of occupation. This reality is reminiscent of historical refugee camps and constitutes a flagrant violation of international law. These developments are not isolated; they form interconnected links in a dangerous political chain. The international community's silence regarding Israel's actions, bolstered by American support, solidifies a culture of impunity that encourages the escalation of violations. Ongoing military control confirms that the goal is not security but territorial dominance and paving the way for actual annexation. Transforming Rafah into a 'concentration camp' is part of a long-term policy aimed at emptying Gaza of its original inhabitants in preparation for land confiscation. This brings to light the shocking proposal for a 'Riviera of the Middle East,' which has previously been rumored. The idea of creating a 'luxurious oasis for the wealthy' on the ruins of Gaza, while survivors are trapped in an isolated pocket, is not a fantasy; it is a blatant colonial vision that turns the tragedy of a people into a tourist resort for the affluent. Today, Gaza is not merely a humanitarian crisis; it serves as a laboratory for annexation, displacement, and exploitation under the protection of major powers. The transformation of Rafah into an open prison, the continuation of occupation, and discussions of tourism projects above the ruins all form part of a single chain aimed at geographically and demographically eradicating the Palestinian cause. The international community stands at a crossroads: it must either take action to enforce accountability, halt the genocide, prevent the displacement of Palestinians, and prosecute those orchestrating annexation and exploitation, or become a silent partner in establishing 'the largest concentration camp in the world.' Silence today is not neutrality; it is complicity in a crime that shapes a dark future not only for Gaza but for the foundations of international justice as a whole. Time is running out, and urgent action is the true test of human conscience.

Al-Qassam Brigades target Israeli tank with powerful explosive device in western Khan Younis
Gaza – SABA: The Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, announced on Friday that its fighters had targeted an Israeli Merkava tank with a pre-prepared high-explosive IED west of Khan Younis, in the southern Gaza Strip. In a statement received by the Yemeni News Agency (SABA), Al-Qassam said: 'Our fighters targeted a Zionist Merkava tank with a powerful landmine-type explosive device on Thursday in the 'Maslakh' area southwest of Khan Younis.' This attack is part of the continued military actions by Palestinian resistance factions in retaliation for the ongoing genocide committed by the Israeli occupation forces in Gaza since October 7, 2023, with full U.S. backing. The aggression includes mass killings, starvation, destruction, and forced displacement, in defiance of international appeals and orders from the International Court of Justice to cease hostilities.
