27 inmates from notorious Iranian prison still at large after Israeli strike: Tehran
Print Close By Rachel Wolf Published July 22, 2025 Iranian media reported that 27 inmates from the notorious Evin Prison remain at large following an Israeli airstrike last month. After Israel's strike during the 12-day war, 75 inmates escaped from Evin prison, according to the Associated Press, which cited a news website affiliated with Iran's judiciary. In the article, Iranian Judiciary Spokesperson Asghar Jahangir said that out of the 75 escapees, 48 were either recaptured or returned voluntarily, the Associated Press added. Jahangir also stated that the escapees had been serving time for minor offenses. IRAN CLAIMS ITS PRESIDENT WAS INJURED IN ISRAELI AIRSTRIKE LAST MONTH In June, Israel launched Operation Rising Lion, which was aimed at destroying Iran's nuclear capabilities. While Iranian officials said 71 were killed in the strike, local media reported that there were 80 killed, including staff, soldiers, inmates and visiting family members, according to the Associated Press. Sayeh Seydal, a jailed Iranian dissident who survived Israel's strike on Evin Prison, told relatives that being in the facility was a "slow death," according to the Associated Press, which obtained a recording of the conversation. "The bombing by the U.S. and Israel didn't kill us. Then the Islamic Republic brought us to a place that will practically kill us," Seydal said. On Tuesday, Amnesty International called for an investigation of Israel's strike on the prison as a possible war crime, saying it constituted "a serious violation of international humanitarian law." IRAN ACKNOWLEDGES DEATH TOLL FROM ISRAEL'S STRIKE ON NOTORIOUS EVIN PRISON Erika Guevara Rosas, who serves as Amnesty International's Senior Director for research, advocacy, policy and campaigns, said "the evidence establishes reasonable grounds to believe that the Israeli military brazenly and deliberately attacked civilian buildings." Evin Prison is infamous for its harsh conditions and became a place for Iranian officials to throw protesters.

The department said that protesters thrown in Evin Prison under Farzadi's watch were subjected to torture and physical abuse. Print Close URL

IDF Moves Into Deir Al-Balah Where 'Hostages Are Held', Families Blast Israel's "Aimless" Gaza War
The IDF has launched a major ground and air assault on Deir al-Balah, believed to be the site where several Israeli hostages are held, marking the first such incursion into the city since the war began. The move, following evacuation orders and heavy airstrikes, has killed dozens and worsened the humanitarian crisis, drawing sharp criticism from hostage families who accuse Israel's leadership of waging an "aimless" war and endangering the captives. The assault has also raised fears of derailing ongoing ceasefire talks involving Egypt, Qatar, and the U.S. as aid supplies dwindle and civilian casualties mount.00:00 INTRODUCTION02:29 ISRAELI MINISTER WANTS GAZA OP EXPAND, EVEN AT RISK OF HOSTAGES04:28 92 PALESTINIANS KILLED TRYING TO REACH AID IN GAZA06:39 IDF SHOWS TROOPS 'HOLDING FIRE' AS GAZANS RUSH FOR FOOD n18oc_crux

Israeli tanks ‘open fire into crowd trying to get food from aid trucks in Gaza killing dozens' as IDF launches probe
ISRAELI tanks opened fire into a crowd desperate to get food from aid trucks in Gaza, with the IDF launching a probe. The Israeli military said its troops had fired warning shots in the direction of a crowd of thousands of people to rid what it called 5 Palestinians carry aid acquired at the Zikim crossing back to their families Credit: Getty 5 The Hamas-run health ministry claims at least 85 civilians were killed Credit: Getty 5 The bodies of those who lost their lives are brought to the morgue of Al Shifa Hospital after an Israeli attack in Gaza Strip Credit: Getty The Hamas-run health ministry claims at least 85 civilians were killed while trying to reach food today, which would make it the deadliest day for aid-seekers in the entire war. But the IDF disputes the death toll, saying the "reported number of casualties does not align with the existing information". It also accused Hamas militants of creating chaos. There was new alarm as Israel's military issued evacuation orders for parts of central Gaza. read more news The largest death toll was in devastated northern Gaza, where living conditions are especially harrowing. At least 79 Palestinians were tragically killed while trying to reach aid entering through the Zikim crossing with Israel, Zaher al-Waheidi, the head of the Health Ministry's records department, said. The UN World Food Program said 25 trucks with aid had entered for starving people when it encountered massive crowds. An anonymous UN official said Israeli forces opened fire toward crowds who tried to take food from the convoy. Most read in The US Sun Israel's military said soldiers shot at a gathering of thousands of Palestinians in northern Gaza who posed a threat, and it was aware of some casualties. More than 150 people were wounded, some in critical condition, hospitals said. Al-Waheidi said Israeli gunfire killed another six Palestinians in the Shakoush area, hundreds of meters north of a hub of the recently created Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF). After the tragic reports emerged, the US- and Israel-backed GHF stressed the shooting occurred near a UN aid convoy - not near any of their distribution hubs. Witnesses and health workers say several hundred people have been killed by Israeli fire while trying to access the group's aid distribution sites. The horrific incident came as Israel and Hamas have been holding ceasefire talks in Qatar. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has repeatedly maintained that expanding Israel's military operations in Gaza will pressure Hamas into negotiations. Earlier this month, Israel's military said it controlled more than 65 per cent of Gaza. Gaza's population of more than two million Palestinians are currently facing a devastating humanitarian crisis and relying predominantly on the limited aid allowed into the territory. Ambulances in front of three major hospitals in Gaza sounded their alarms simultaneously Sunday in an urgent appeal as hunger grows. The Health Ministry posted pictures on social media of doctors holding signs about malnourished children and the lack of medication. The GHF uses private security contractors to distribute aid from sites in Gaza. The UN among other international aid groups have boycotted the foundation, claiming that Israel is weaponising food and that it will lead to further displacement of Palestinians. They added that it undermines the principle that humanitarian aid should be distributed independently of the parties to a conflict, based on need. 5 Palestinians carry aid acquired at the Zikim crossing Credit: Getty 5 The horrific incident came as Israel and Hamas have been holding ceasefire talks in Qatar Credit: Getty
