Published July 10th, 2025 - 07:04 GMT A separate count by the health ministry highlights that 782 people have died and 5,179 have been wounded while awaiting humanitarian aid since May 27. In just the past day, nine Palestinians were killed and 78 injured under such conditions. ALBAWABA- The Gaza Health Ministry has reported that 82 Palestinians were killed and 247 others wounded in the past 24 hours as a result of ongoing Israeli military operations in the Gaza Strip. This comes amid what Palestinian officials describe as a continued campaign of "genocide" by Israeli forces. Since Israel resumed its large-scale assault on March 18, the ministry states that the death toll has reached 7,200, with at least 25,615 others injured. The overall toll since the start of the war on October 7, 2023, has now climbed to 57,800 Palestinians killed and 137,656 injured, according to official Gaza health data. — Anadolu English (@anadoluagency) July 10, 2025 A separate count by the health ministry highlights that 782 people have died and 5,179 have been wounded while awaiting humanitarian aid since May 27. In just the past day, nine Palestinians were killed and 78 injured under such conditions. In a particularly grim development, the Gaza Government Media Office accused Israel of carrying out a "brutal massacre" at a makeshift medical point, where 15 people, including 10 children and 3 women, were killed. The office condemned the strike as yet another atrocity in a war that has now stretched over 21 months. Yesterday alone, the total number of Palestinians killed by Israeli forces stood at 105, with 530 wounded in what has become one of the deadliest phases of the conflict. Meanwhile, international criticism of Israel's actions has been met with U.S. political backlash. The United States imposed sanctions on Francesca Albanese, the UN Special Rapporteur for the occupied Palestinian territories, after she released a report describing the situation in Gaza as an "economy of genocide."

In response to the U.S. sanctions, Albanese told MEE Live, 'Looks like I've hit a nerve,' adding, 'They're hitting me from all over with whatever means they have, instead of doing what I'm asking: for states and companies to comply with international law.' Human rights advocates and international legal experts have raised alarm over what they describe as the U.S. systematic targeting of those attempting to uphold international law, underscoring growing global concern over impunity in the conflict. © 2000 - 2025 Al Bawaba (

Israel Pushes to Gain Ground in Gaza as Hamas Weighs Ceasefire
Israel is intensifying military operations in one of the last Hamas strongholds in Gaza, as the sides stake out positions before ceasefire negotiations proposed by US President Donald Trump. The escalation comes as Hamas weighs a call by Trump to enter a 60—day ceasefire during which it would return half of the 50 hostages it still holds and pursue mediated talks with Israel to end the war. The proposal, accepted by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, will be one of the major topics during his visit to Washington next week.

Russia launches ‘massive' strike on Ukrainian defense industry
Russian forces carried out a large-scale overnight strike on Ukrainian industrial facilities involving long-range weapons and drones, the Defense Ministry in Moscow reported on Sunday. The Ukrainian authorities and media confirmed the attack, with some suggesting it was one of the largest since the escalation of the conflict in 2022. In a statement reporting the operation, the Russian Defense Ministry said that its forces had 'conducted a massive strike, involving high-precision long-range air-, sea- and land-based weapons, including the aeroballistic hypersonic Kinzhal missile system, as well as unmanned aerial vehicles, targeting Ukraine's military-industrial and oil-processing facilities.' The ministry didn't provide any further details, but stated that the 'strike goals were achieved. All designated targets were hit.' Ukraine's Vladimir Zelensky confirmed the attack in a post on Telegram, claiming that it involved 477 Russian explosives-laden drones and 60 missiles of various types. He used the occasion to once again call on Kiev's Western backers to provide it with more air defense systems. Zelensky also revealed that Kiev lost a Western-supplied F-16 fighter jet while attempting to fend off the attack. The pilot perished in the incident. Meanwhile, in a post on X, Ukrainian MP Mariana Bezuglaya accused the country's military leadership of 'murdering' fighter pilots by allegedly failing to develop effective anti-drone protocols. According to the Ukrainian military's tally, more than 20 incoming rockets and 40 UAVs made it through the country's air defenses during the strike. In a post on Facebook, Stepan Kulinyak, the head of the military administration in the city of Drohobych in Lviv Region in Western Ukraine, said that 'as a result of the air attack, a fire broke out at an industrial infrastructure facility.' Officials in the region stated that the strikes did not cause any casualties but that critical infrastructure was hit. In Poltava Region, an industrial site in the city of Kremenchuk reportedly came under attack. While Ukrainian officials have not provided any details about the type of facilities hit and the extent of the damage inflicted, some local media outlets have pointed out that there are oil-processing plants in both Drohobych and Kremenchuk, and that they were likely the targets of the strikes. Social media users have been posting videos purportedly depicting the Russian strikes and their aftermath in several Ukrainian regions.

Ukrainian forces attack oil depot in Russia's Rostov region
June 23 (Reuters) - Ukrainian forces on Monday attacked and set ablaze an oil depot in Russia's southern Rostov region used to supply Russian forces in occupied parts of Ukraine, the Ukrainian military said. The General Staff of Ukraine's Armed Forces said the military's special operations units, in conjunction with rocket forces and artillery, had hit the Atlas plant in the Rostov region, not far from Ukraine's eastern border. "A strike by our forces in the area of the target has been confirmed," the General Staff said in a statement on Telegram. "A fire has been observed. The results of the strike are being clarified." The statement said the facility was used to provide fuel and lubricants to Russian units operating in Russian-occupied parts of the Luhansk and Donetsk regions on the war's eastern front. Ukrainian forces have been engaged in cross-border attacks, including energy industry targets, which the General Staff said was aimed at curbing Russia's economic potential to proceed with the more than three-year-old war in Ukraine. Ukrainian military bloggers had earlier reported on the raid on the oil depot, saying fuel tanks had been engulfed in a blaze in the incident.
