In the Gaza Strip, heavy Israeli bombardment struck extensively, encompassing land, air, and sea assaults. The southern region bore the brunt, particularly Khan Younis and Rafah city. Overnight, Rafah’s central area and Shaboura refugee camp faced bombings, resulting in 23 fatalities, including four children, and over 10 critically injured. The most devastating impact occurred in Khan Younis, specifically the western side, which was previously designated a ‘safe zone’ for displaced people by Israel, and has faced repeated targeting. Intense strikes near Khan Younis’s Nasser Hospital reveal a concerning pattern, with tanks and armoured vehicles deployed on the main road leading to the medical facility.

As the world was celebrating a new year with fireworks and festivities, Palestinians in Gaza were running for their lives and looking for places to shelter. Overnight, the central area of the Gaza Strip has been pounded repeatedly. We’re looking at an area that was designated a safe zone for Palestinians to evacuate to. There are reports of five people killed. As of now, we’re looking at more than 85 percent of the population displaced. Most of them are living in tents [in Rafah]. We are seeing people queue for long hours [for food and essentials] in Rafah – the centres are very small compared with the number of who […]
Continuous Israeli attacks have led to a fresh exodus of Palestinians already driven from northern Gaza. The southern town of Rafah is struggling to cope with the influx. The UN says around 100-thousand people had arrived here in recent days. Virtually the entire population of Gaza – around 2.3 million people – is dependent on humanitarian aid. But few trucks are able to enter with food, medicine, fuel and other supplies.

South Africa has filed a case at the UN’s International Court of Justice accusing Israel of genocide. The petition accuses Israel of calculated actions intended to bring about the physical destruction of Palestine. Article II of the Genocide Convention was adopted by the UN General Assembly in 1948 and de-fines the crime of genocide. It has two main elements: Omer Bartov, a Professor of Holocaust and Genocide Studies at Brown University, joins Al Jazeera live from Cambridge. Also, Geoffrey Nice, a barrister and human rights lawyer, explains why South Africa’s case stands out in the history of international law.

US Secretary of State Antony Blinken has bypassed congress and approved the sale of high explosive artillery shells and related equipment to Israel. Blinken pushed through the 147-million dollar deal by declaring it an emergency. He made a similar decision on December 9, approving a 106-million dollar sale of tank ammunition for Israel. Al Jazeera’s senior political analyst, Marwan Bishara, joins live to discuss the latest developments in the Gaza war.

The Biden administration is pursuing a “dual-track” approach when it comes to the Gaza war, analyst Luciano Zaccara says, amid its recent decision to sell more weapons to Tel Aviv. “On the one hand they are trying to convince the public opinion that the US is really concerned about civilian casualties but also they keep sustaining Israel (militarily),” the Qatar University professor told Al Jazeera. “It is totally contradicting … it is hard to understand how this is in the national interest.” Zaccara said the policy was especially perplexing in light of “mounting pressure” in the US, including among democrats, against the war as civilian casualties in Gaza continue to […]
There has been a skunk water truck which has been spraying water towards Palestinians and Muslim worshippers. This produces an awful smell, which has been drifting in the air. People have also been attacked with tear gas grenades. The reason why there are these confrontations is that, since October 7, there have been vast restrictions on Muslims entering the place they revere as the third holiest place in Islam, the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound. The Israelis are only allowing people over 45 years old, but even then, they can restrict them. We have only seen about 3,00 to 4,000 worshippers in the past two weeks. Usually, you’d have between 50,000 and […]
