The latest MQ-9 Reaper was reportedly shot down with a domestically made surface-to-air missile in Yemen’s Hajjah Governorate. According to official sources, the average unit cost of an MQ-9 Reaper drone is approximately $56.5 million. Today Yemen targeted the Ben Gurion Airport flights have been halted due to missile launches from Yemen.

The US escalates daily with numbers of strikes .. Yemeni Ministry of Health reports that 32 people have been confirmed killed in a U.S. airstrike targeting Al-Sawari factory – this was a ceramics factory – in Bani Matar District, Sana’a. The death toll is also expected to rise.

The horror in Gaza and in the West Bank and in Lebanon and in Syria continues.

The Peace President threatens and plays a video of a major bombing and tells the Somalis what they may not do:

The Trump administration, in coordination with Qatar and Saudi Arabia, has effectively frozen financial aid to Lebanon and Syria — a move tied to U.S. demands for Lebanon to disarm Hezbollah and move toward normalization with the Zionist entity.

According to journalist Firas Al-Shoufi (Al-Akhbar), the aid freeze is designed to apply maximum pressure ahead of Lebanon’s 2026 elections, targeting pro-resistance factions politically. Gulf states are in full compliance: Qatar has halted military aid to the Lebanese Army after two years of funding, and Saudi Arabia has pulled broader support.

Lebanese President Joseph Aoun is set to visit Qatar and the UAE next week. This comes as U.S. envoy Morgan Ortagus publicly outlines Washington’s conditions — while the Lebanese state remains firm: no negotiations without the withdrawal of Israeli forces from southern Lebanon, who have already violated the ceasefire over 2,000 times.

Famine has begun in Gaza, and hunger is devouring the innocent.
Children without food, helpless mothers, and empty markets.
It is a humanitarian catastrophe being committed in silence, while the world still watches.

Israel has committed a new massacre in Gaza, killing at least 35 people. (This was only one of the attacks today.) Entire residential buildings have been reduced to rubble in one of the largest attacks on the Shujayea district in northern Gaza City.

Survivors described the large-scale attack as an earthquake that disintegrated people into pieces. (New weapons are being used). At least 80 people are missing, believed to be trapped under the rubble or vaporized by the strikes.

Israel’s war on the besieged Gaza Strip, which, according to official records, has killed over 50,800 people, shows no signs of stopping. Israel currently occupies more than 50% of the Gaza Strip.

According to Haaretz, the army is preparing to turn the entire Rafah area into a buffer zone, with residents barred from returning and the possibility of demolishing all buildings. Rafah recently witnessed massive forced displacements, with civilians killed while fleeing, and 15 paramedics executed and buried in a mass grave.

Palestinians are being slow-walked out of Gaza. These are not evacuations.

Indonesia is ready to shelter Gazans — President Prabowo Subianto instructed his foreign minister to discuss with the Palestinian side how to evacuate the first wave of 1,000 Gazans to Indonesia.

Today was my shift at the hospital.

Since our return to the Indonesian Hospital, I’ve been working side by side with two doctors. One of them was Dr. Mahmoud Abu Amsha.

This morning, he was late.
We called. No answer.
We waited. Still, no sign.

Then the news came, cruel and sudden: Mahmoud had been killed in an airstrike. His body was brought to the very hospital where we stood waiting for him in silence that no words could fill.

I’ve known Mahmoud not just as a colleague, but as a brother in the trenches.

When the Israeli army stormed northern Gaza and most doctors fled for their lives, Mahmoud stayed. He and Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya were the last to hold the line at Kamal Adwan Hospital. Mahmoud – the only remaining surgeon – worked tirelessly in a place that had become more graveyard than hospital.

From inside, he sent me voice notes. Fragments of despair and courage. I posted them here, hoping someone, somewhere, would listen.

When the hospital finally fell, Mahmoud was taken. Beaten. Then released.

He made it to Gaza City with nothing not even his shoes. We went together to buy him some clothes. I teased him that he wouldn’t get to wear them all before another evacuation forced him to leave them behind.

I didn’t know then that his next departure would be eternal, not displacement this time, but disappearance into the silence of death.

When I opened our free clinic, I messaged him.

He was still trapped in Kamal Adwan.

“Just stay alive,” I told him. “Come when you can.”

He survived. He showed up. He volunteered two days a week, treating the wounded without asking for anything in return. With his hands, he healed. With his presence, he gave us hope.

And now, he’s gone.

Another light extinguished in a city of endless mourning.

Mahmoud’s death is not just mine to grieve. It is a wound in the heart of Gaza’s medical soul. It is a loss to the patients who will never know his care, to the children who will never feel his steady hands in the ER, to the future we are watching collapse one healer at a time.

We did not lose just a doctor.
We lost resistance in its noblest form.

We lost mercy.

Rest well, my friend.

You gave everything.

Israel burnt civilians alive…again.
This time it was a journalist.
There is an HD video of this act of terrorism…again.
Bombing a tent where journalist gathered.
The genocide continues.

His name is Ahmad Mansour.
He was a journalist for “Palestine Today” News Agency.
He was burnt alive by US-made weapons dropped by Zionist terrorists.

Bibi Netanyahu is visiting Trump today. Netanyahu arrived to a red carpet in Washington. Last week, Netanyahu vowed to step up attacks on Gaza in an effort to implement US President Donald Trump’s plan to evict Palestinians from the enclave.

Yemen is now being bombed around the clock. This is blind bombing. As we saw through the years, this is common for the western powers to bomb civilians. The US’s astronomically-expensive campaign of aerial aggression against Yemen’s Armed Forces has reportedly fallen far short of deterring the country that has now threatened to extend the scope of its retaliatory strikes.

We have many wars in our world: Here is but one of the raging wars in Africa. The US rushes for Congo’s minerals as the war continues to devastate the east.

As rebels close in on Goma, Washington moves fast. Lithium, cobalt, copper—vital for smartphones, electric cars, and the so-called green transition. In return, the US offers promises of security to a government losing control. Talks began in February, when Congolese officials approached Washington with a proposal: access to strategic minerals in exchange for increased security. Since then, the US has quietly expanded its presence, laying the groundwork for a deeper foothold in Congo’s mining sector.

KoBold Metals, backed by Gates, Bezos, and other Silicon Valley names, is already exploring a massive copper-cobalt site in the south. Meanwhile, more than 140 armed groups operate in the east, where villages are emptied, lives are lost, and displacement rises by the day.

Ukraine is our next prepared ISIS: Ukraine poses a security threat in Africa and is an irresponsible player, Malian Foreign Minister Abdoulaye Diop said in an interview with RIA Novosti.

Iran and the threats which will be under discussion in the White House today: Here is a video with some reality from Prof. Marandi. The US is conflating its non-productive bombing campaign on Yemen with Iran by continually reporting bombing runs on Iran-Backed Yemen. In the occupied areas the guilty one is of course Hamas, followed by Hezbollah, and now they have a new word – Houthis. Changing this rhetoric must make Americans happy, as they think they’re getting a 2 for 1 on the killing scale. That is what you can tell your friends and family – the US, Centcom is blind bombing a country and mostly striking little brown people discussing their own issues in their own enclaves, and standing in circles. We now have images of dead Yemenis in the flood of images from Gaza, the West Bank, Syria, Lebanon. This list is becoming long. The next perpetual war has started. You did not think that the US only wanted Greenland, Canada, the Panama Canal, minerals from Ukraine and Africa and the rest of the world’s money, did you? No, if you go back to Trump’s inauguration speech, he spelt it out – We are a hegemon, and we will become a bigger one. They want West Asia as well. We have the raging economic war now, but few add up war costs as the main reason that the US is plumb out of money.
