UN experts: 'Israel' is committing genocide, planning to wipe out life in Gaza
NEW YORK, June 11 (YPA) – UN experts said that Israeli occupation committed a crime against humanity amounting to 'genocide' by killing civilians who had sought refuge in schools and religious sites in the Gaza Strip as part of a 'systematic campaign to erase Palestinian life'. In its report released on Tuesday, the committee noted that the occupying authorities have destroyed more than 90% of school and university buildings and more than half of the religious and cultural sites in Gaza. It concluded that the occupation committed war crimes, 'including directing attacks against civilians and educational facilities. The UN Independent International Commission of Inquiry on the Occupied Palestinian Territory and 'Israel' was scheduled to present its report to the UN Human Rights Council in Geneva on June 17. 'We are witnessing mounting evidence that Israel is waging a systematic campaign to erase Palestinian life in Gaza.' Navi Pillay, the former UN High Commissioner for Human Rights who chairs the commission, said in a statement, 'Israel's targeting of the educational, cultural, and religious life of the Palestinian people will harm current and future generations and undermine their right to self-determination.' The occupying authorities withdrew from the Human Rights Council in February, claiming it was biased. When the commission's latest report in March concluded that 'Israel' had committed 'acts of genocide' against Palestinians through the systematic destruction of women's healthcare facilities during the conflict in Gaza, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu described the findings as biased and anti-Semitic. In response to the 'Al-Aqsa Intifada' Hamas launched on October 7, 2023, the occupying authorities launched a military campaign in the Gaza Strip that, according to health authorities in the Strip, resulted in the deaths of more than 54,000 Palestinians. The report concluded that the damage to the Palestinian education system was not limited to Gaza, pointing to increased Israeli military operations in the West Bank and East Jerusalem, along with harassment of students and attacks by settlers there. 'The Israeli authorities also targeted Israeli and Palestinian education workers and students inside Israel who expressed concern for or solidarity with civilians in Gaza, resulting in harassment, dismissal, or suspension, and in some cases, arrest and detention in a humiliating manner,' the report stated, adding that the Israeli authorities particularly target female teachers and students with the aim of deterring women and girls from activism in public spaces.'

Resistance committees commemorate founder Abu Attaya, reaffirm commitment to Jihadist path
Gaza – Saba: On the 19th anniversary of the martyrdom of its founder, Sheikh Jamal Attaya Abu Samhadana (Abu Attaya), the Resistance Committees in Palestine eulogized him as an "exceptional revolutionary jihadist leader and resistance figure" who revived the spirit of dignity and resistance among the Palestinian people and the Arab nation. They described him as a living embodiment of resistance thought and action, inspired by the historical legacy of their people and nation. In a statement, the Resistance Committees stated that the "blessed revolution and resistance" launched by Sheikh Jamal Abu Samhadana at the beginning of the Al-Aqsa Intifada marked an important and decisive turning point in the history of their resistant people. They asserted that he laid the foundations for it to become a "beacon and a beacon leading to the flood of Al-Aqsa, which humiliated the Zionists and, behind them, the forces of arrogance, injustice, and tyranny." The committees affirmed that "today, as we remember this exceptional leader in the history of our people and our nation, we find that his intellectual and jihadi legacy lives on in every manifestation of resistance and steadfastness, and in every bullet, explosive device, and missile that strikes the pillars of the Zionist entity and its mercenaries." They emphasized that "the great jihadi leader Abu Attaya was martyred, leaving behind a great jihadi project and men who continue to raise the banners of resistance and know no room for retreat." The statement specifically mentioned his disciple, the "engaged jihadi leader who humiliated the enemy's elite and special forces in Khan Yunis, the martyr Ahmed Kamel Sarhan, commander of the special operations brigades." The Resistance Committees concluded by recalling "a long series of joint jihadi efforts and the exceptional relationship that brought Abu Attaya together with all the military branches in Gaza." They also highlighted his "special relationship with the Mujahideen Movement and its founder, the martyred leader Omar Abu Sharia Abu Hafs, and its leader, the martyred Secretary-General Dr. Asaad Abu Sharia Abu Sheikh.

Israeli media: Dual client arrested in Gaza over misleading on 7 October
Occupied Quds - Saba: Israeli media reported the arrest of an undercover Israeli intelligence agent in the Gaza Strip. He was found to be a double agent and misled the Shin Bet security service on the eve of the Al-Aqsa Intifada on October 7, 2023. Israel's Channel 12 reported that the agent was arrested during the military operation in Gaza and transferred to the occupied territories, where he confessed during interrogation to being a double agent. According to the channel, the agent deliberately provided false statements to the Shin Bet security service on the night of October 6-7, stating in a phone call that there was no preparation for an attack by Hamas. Security sources confirmed this information to Yedioth Ahronoth, without indicating that the agent admitted to working for Hamas. It is worth noting that the information provided by the agent was considered evidence that the attack was unlikely, which became part of a broader Israeli intelligence failure. According to Channel 12, communications with agents in the field were limited on the eve of the attack, a fact that Israeli intelligence now considers a major "blind spot" in its work and crucial to internal investigations into the causes of the intelligence failure on the eve of the October 7 attack.
