Israel-Hamas war: Israelis protest over hostages killed 'by mistake' as new comms blackout hits Gaza

Families and supporters of hostages hostages held by Hamas demonstrate in Tel Aviv calling for an immediate hostage exchange deal

Israel is mourning the death of three hostages killed "by mistake" by its own soldiers in the Gaza Strip, where the army is increasing air raids despite pressure from its American ally for more restraint.

Three Israeli hostages who were said to have been "misidentified" as a "threat" were killed by soldiers operating in Shujaiya, in the northern Gaza Strip.

The victims are Yotam Haïm, a 28-year-old heavy metal drummer, Samer al-Talalqa, a 25-year-old Bedouin, and Alon Lulu Shamriz, 26, the Israeli army announced, specifying that the bodies had been repatriated to Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu immediately regretted "an unbearable tragedy" which plunges "the entire State of Israel into mourning", while in Washington the White House spoke of a "tragic error".

Shortly after the announcement, hostage families and supporters marched with photos of captives in front of the Israeli Defense Ministry in Tel Aviv to demand an immediate agreement for their release.

Hundreds of protesters marched alongside the families as they blocked main roads in the city and spilled red paint in the street - meant to symbolise the blood of hostages.

Protestors screamed "deal, now!" shouted for the release of all the hostages. The protests lasted for several hours.

In a statement on their website, the broadcaster wrote: "Al Jazeera Media Network condemns in the strongest terms the Israeli drone attack on a Gaza school that resulted in the killing of cameraman Samer Abudaqa."

"The Network holds Israel accountable for systematically targeting and killing Al Jazeera journalists and their families."

IDF to conduct four-hour 'tactical pause' in Rafah to allow aid in

The Israeli military - also known as the IDF - is set to conduct "tactical pauses" to allow for the replenishing of supplies in southern Gaza on Saturday.

That's according to the Israeli office for Coordination of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT).

In a post on X - formerly Twitter - COGAT said the said today's "pause" would take place in the Tel al Sultan neighborhood in Rafah, between 10am and 2pm local time.

Previous such pauses have taken place in the Al Salam and Al Shabura neighbourhoods in Rafah on Wednesday and Thursday, according to posts on COGAT's account on X.

Communications blackout and spiralling hunger compound misery in Gaza Strip

A prolonged communications blackout that severed telephone and internet connections compounded the misery Saturday in the besieged Gaza Strip, where a United Nations agency said hunger levels had spiralled in recent days.

Internet and telephone lines went down on Thursday evening and were still inaccessible on Saturday morning, according to internet access advocacy group NetBlocks.org

 

The situation is hampering aid deliveries and rescue efforts as Israel's war against Gaza's ruling militant group Hamas stretches into the 11th week.

The ongoing offensive has flattened much of northern Gaza and driven 85% of Gaza’s population of 2.3 million from their homes. Displaced people have squeezed into shelters mainly in the south in a spiralling humanitarian crisis.

The United States, Israel’s closest ally, has expressed unease over Israel’s failure to reduce civilian casualties and its plans for the future of Gaza, but the White House continues to offer wholehearted support with weapons shipments and diplomatic backing.

Palestinian media: 'Dozens killed' in Jabalia airstrikes

Palestinian media has announced that dozens of people have been killed by Israeli airstrikes in northern Gaza.

The WAFA news agency said on Saturday that at least 14 Palestinians died after two houses in Jabalia city - some 4km north of Gaza city - were hit.

WAFA added that dozens more had died in a separate airstrike that hit another home in the area, while adding that a number of civilians were trapped under rubble.

It has not yet been possible to independently verify the reports but the claims come following Friday's meeting between the US and Israel, where the US put pressure on Israel to scale down its war against Hamas in the near future.

Al Jazeera condemns Israel over journalist death

An Al Jazeera journalist has been killed and another injured in an Israeli strike in the Gaza Strip on Friday, the Qatari-based channel reported.

"It is with heavy hearts that we share the devastating news of the loss of our dedicated Al Jazeera cameraman, Samer Abudaqa," Mohamed Moawad, an editor at the channel, wrote.

Al Jazeera previously reported that its Gaza bureau chief, Wael Dahdouh, and Abu Daqa, were injured at a school in Khan Younes "following what is believed to be an attack by Israeli drone".

    • This has been the situation with al-Awda Hospital for the past few days. This is not the first time we have heard about this kind of scenario.

      We have seen this with the al-Shifa, Indonesia, and the Ahli Arab hospitals, which were all targeted by Israeli air raids.

      This is a systematic attack on health facilities, schools and public facilities … to send people in Gaza back to the Stone Age.

      And this is very consistent with Israeli sentiment since the beginning of the war, which is being translated on the ground.

      Supplies haven’t arrived at al-Awda Hospital for 67 days: Manager 

      Manager of the al-Awda Hospital, Ahmed Muhanna, says basic and essential medical supplies have yet to reach the facility in northern Gaza.

      In an audio message sent to Al Jazeera, Muhanna said no medical aid has reached al-Awda Hospital in 67 days, saying there was no oxygen available at the facility.

      “Israeli tanks are around the hospital … while one tank closed the entrance,” he said. “They targeted two floors of the hospital from the outside, destroying the surgical wards.”

      “We are looking for support from international societies, especially the Red Crescent and the World Health Organization,” he noted.

      France MP denounces participation of citizens in Israeli army 

      French lawmaker Thomas Portes says it is “unacceptable” for French nationals to be participating in the war in Gaza, amid the “war crimes” being committed by the Israeli army, and must be called back.

      Portes, a member of the left-wing La France Insoumise party, pointed to a report by radio network Europe 1 saying that more than 4,000 French nationals were engaged with the Israeli army in Gaza.

      “While the UN, through several of its special rapporteurs, warns of genocidal risks … the presence of citizens with French nationality dishonours France,” he posted on X.

      “I ask the Minister of Justice that people of French nationality [including dual nationals] guilty of war crimes be brought before French justice.”

      US cannot stop Houthi attacks in Red Sea 

      The prospects of a task force being formed by the US and others to stop attacks in the Red Sea by Yemen’s Houthi rebels will not work, analyst Hussein al-Bukhaiti has said.

      “They cannot stop the attacks against the ships, and if the US tries to launch any attacks against them, it cannot conduct them from the Red Sea because it’s a narrow area,” the political commentator and journalist told Al Jazeera.

      US National Security Adviser Jake Sullivan told reporters last week that Washington was in talks with “other countries” over forming a “maritime task force … to ensure safe passage of ships in the Red Sea”, but did not give further details.

      Al-Bukhaiti said the only way the US could launch an attack against Yemen is by targeting the country from bases in Gulf nations such as Bahrain or Saudi Arabia.

      Israeli, Qatari officials to meet in Oslo on Saturday: Report

      David Barnea, the Israeli intelligence agency’s chief, and Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani, the Qatari prime minister, are set to meet on Saturday in Norway’s capital, Oslo, to renew discussion for the release of captives, The Wall Street Journal has reported, citing people familiar with the matter.

      The talks were described as “exploratory”, read the report, adding that Barnea is also expected to meet with Egyptian officials.

      Pressure on the Israeli government to find a deal for the release of the 129 remaining captives doubled down after Israeli soldiers mistakenly shot dead three Israeli captives in northern Gaza.

      Qatar football fans stand for Gaza against Israel

      While football players and fans around the world are being reprimanded for displays of solidarity with Palestine, thousands gathered at the Education City Stadium in Qatar to show their support and help raise funds for Palestinians under attack from Israel in Gaza.

      The Stand with Palestine charity match, arranged by the Qatar Foundation, was based on an initiative by a group of students hoping to raise money through ticket sales and create awareness about the situation in Gaza, where nearly 19,000 people, including more than 7,000 children, have been killed in the Israeli bombardment since October 7.

      “As a Palestinian myself, it’s very hard to see those videos [from Gaza] but then I imagine the people living through the oppression and I realise it’s much more difficult to endure,” a visibly emotional Karim Abbas, one of the Palestinian students involved in organising the event, told Al Jazeera.

      Will oil prices rise after Red Sea shipping curbs amid Houthi attacks?

      Hijackings, missile strikes and drone assaults on ships by Yemen’s Houthi rebels have forced AP Moller-Maersk, a Danish shipping and logistics giant, and Hapag-Lloyd, a German shipping and container transportation company, to pause shipments through the Red Sea.

      Their decisions are a sign that major corporations are taking the security situation in the Red Sea increasingly seriously.

      Experts say the consequences might also be felt by the world’s oil markets and the cost of energy that consumers need to bear – though the extent of any disruption might depend on how global players respond to the looming crisis.

      Israeli soldiers ‘failed to follow rules of engagement’

      Three captives who were mistakenly shot dead in northern Gaza “were killed because the troops did not follow the army’s rules of engagement”, the Israeli army says.

      Here are the main finding from its preliminary investigation:

      • Three topless figures were spotted holding a long stick with a white cloth attached by a soldier
      • The soldier felt threatened and opened fire
      • Two were hit and fell. The third managed to escape to a nearby building
      • The soldier reported this to his commanding officer
      • The commander arrived at the scene, while an army squad followed the third captive in the building
      • As the soldiers approached the building, they heard a plea for help in Hebrew
      • The Israeli captive hiding inside the building came out before running inside again
      • The soldiers said they believed that it was a Hamas member trying to pull them into a trap. They entered the building and killed the captive.

      Houthis say they attacked Israeli resort town 

      A spokesman for Yemen’s Iranian-allied Houthis says the group has attacked the Israeli Red Sea resort city of Eilat with drones.

      The Houthis, who control much of Yemen, have escalated maritime tensions by launching attacks on vital waterways in what they say is a response to Israel’s attack on Gaza.

      Meanwhile, the UK’s defence minister said a UK destroyer brought down a suspected drone in the Red Sea.

      “Overnight, HMS Diamond shot down a suspected attack drone which was targeting merchant shipping in the Red Sea,” Grant Shapps said in a statement posted on X.
