Hossam Abu Safieh, the director of one of the last functioning health centres in northern Gaza said a series of air strikes hit the northern and western sides of the hospital on Friday, “accompanied by intense and direct fire”.
Israeli forces have again bombed the so-called “safe zone” in Gaza’s al-Mawasi, killing at least 21 people and wounding dozens more, according to Atif al-Hout, the director of the Nasser Hospital in nearby Khan Younis. .
Our correspondents say women and children were “incinerated” in the attack.

Gaza’s Ministry of Health says Israeli attacks on the enclave killed 48 Palestinians and wounded 201 in the latest 24-hour reporting period..
Israel ‘suffocating’ humanitarian aid intended for Gaza. “There’s a systematic attempt [by Israel] to keep people in the cold and keep them starving in the cold,” he told Al Jazeera.
“Whole families were hit, including women and children. Al-Mawasi continues to be attacked by Israeli strikes that destroy the tents with people inside them, leaving many dead or injured,”

Amnesty International accuses Israel of committing genocide in GazaA damning new report by the rights group finds Israel’s war on Gaza meets legal threshold for genocide against the Palestinian people.
This started in the early hours of this morning across the Gaza Strip.
We can confidently say that the entire Gaza Strip has been bombed equally since the early hours of this morning
We can still clearly hear the sound of the fighter jets flying at a very, very low level across the central area of Gaza and Deir el-Balah city.
Reports were received from the northern part of the Strip, particularly from Jabalia and the city of Beit Lahiya. These fighter jets carried out deadly attacks that destroyed the remaining residential buildings in Jabalia refugee camp, Jabalia town as well as the northern part of Beit Lahiya Project area and Beit Lahiya city.
This is just pushing people into further internal displacement and causing massive civilian casualties.
In the Nuseirat refugee camp, particularly in the northern area of the camp, very close to the Netzarim junction, the Israeli military on the ground is conducting a policy to expand the junction. In doing so, it carries out these attacks to destroy remaining residential buildings.
These buildings are residential homes and residential towers that the Israeli military claims are being used as observation points by Palestinian fighters.
But from what we’ve heard from witnesses, there were massive numbers of civilians inside these residential buildings.

US arms sales to Israel
The ceasefire between Hezbollah and Israel has been in place for almost a day now and Lebanese troops have started moving to the south of the country under the terms of the deal.
People are travelling back to towns, villages and homes they were forcibly displaced from but Israel’s military has imposed movement restrictions on Lebanese civilians in parts of south Lebanon.
US media are also reporting that President Joe Biden’s administration has approved new weapons sales to Israel. $640 million
AFP, citing a legal sources, has reported that a French court ordered the release of Lebanese and pro-Palestine activist George Abdallah, who had been jailed for 40 years since 1984.
The court ruled that Abdallah will be released on December 6 on the condition of leaving France, however, French “anti-terror” prosecutors told AFP, that they would appeal..
Abdallah was accused of assassinating US and Israeli diplomats.
Despite completing the minimum portion of his life sentence in 1999, French authorities denied his eight parole requests.
Now 73 years old, Abdallah was arrested in France in 1984 and after pretrial detention, convicted in 1987 for complicity in two murders. Colonel Charles Ray, US military attaché and CIA intelligence officer, was shot in Paris on January 18, 1982.
Second secretary of Israel’s embassy and Mossad intelligence officer, Yacov Barsimantov was shot in Paris on March 31, 1982.
The intelligence functions of the two victims are confirmed nowadays by Yves Bonnet, head between 1982 and 1985 of the Direction de la surveillance du territoire [Territorial Surveillance Directorate, French counter intelligence agency, DST].
The Fractions armées révolutionnaires libanaises [Lebanese Revolutionary Armed Factions, FARL] took credit for the two murders.
As a matter of course : Abdallah would have not been sentenced to life imprisonment without formal intervention of the US government.
The investigators found no evidence of its membership in the FARL or involvement in the murders.
That was rather a matter of intelligence. And according to several former French professionals, the intelligence was wrong.
The US joined a civil action to criminal proceedings and through diplomatic and intelligence channels, it demanded that the defendant was sentenced to life imprisonment. Hillary Clinton (AP)
Under French law, Abdallah could have been granted parole since 1999.
But obviously, like it also appeared in WikiLeaks here and here, the US authorities, including Hillary Clinton, were continuing to lobby their French lackeys against his parole.

🚨96 hours later, not one single word in mainstream media about Israel sadistically executing 3 Gazan hostages:
Ordering them to make a run for their lives, then hunting them down one by one as they fled in terror.
Were they Israeli hostages, the earth would be shaking right now; you’d never see the end of Western gov’s condemnations & media segments decrying this as “barbaric”.
The United Nations says Israel let only one aid mission into besieged northGaza this month and attacked the shelters the supplies were distributed at shortly afterwards.

Pentagon ‘shocked’ by Houthi arsenal – Axios
The rebel group claimed a successful strike against the USS Abraham Lincoln aircraft carrier earlier this week
The arsenal now possessed by Yemen’s Houthi rebels has come as a shock to the Pentagon, Axios reported on Thursday. According to the outlet, the Pentagon’s top weapons buyer, Bill LaPlante, told a defense summit in Washington earlier this week that the group’s capabilities “are getting scary.”
The Houthis, which control the Yemeni capital of Sanaa and significant areas in the northwestern part of the country, have been disrupting shipping in the Red Sea over the past year in an attempt to pressure Israel over the war in Gaza.
“What I’ve seen of what the Houthis have done in the last six months is something that – I’m just shocked,” LaPlante reportedly said. He added that the rebels are brandishing increasingly sophisticated weapons, including missiles that “can do things that are just amazing.”
