<<More than 30 killed in Israeli attacks across Gaza as hospital hit
again
US says Israel still not doing enough to improve dire humanitarian
situation, doesn't outline consequences of failure. The Israeli military
has pounded the Gaza Strip, killing dozens of people mainly in the north
and again attacking the last partially functioning hospital in the area.
At least 33 people were killed in air raids across the enclave,
including 20 in the northern town of Beit Lahiya, four in Gaza City, six
in central areas and three in southern Khan Younis, Al Jazeera Arabic
sources and the Wafa news agency reported late on Monday. Eid Sabbah,
the director of nursing at Kamal Adwan Hospital in the northern part of
the Palestinian territory, said Israeli jets and quad-copter drones hit
the children's ward of the facility, injuring medics and patients. "The
upper floors were damaged and some of the children and newborn babies
were injured," Sabbah told Al Jazeera by telephone. "Journalists, nurses
and other medical staff were also injured," he said, adding this was the
second day that the hospital came under Israeli fire. A week back,
Israeli forces violently raided Kamal Adwan Hospital and detained dozens
of people, including nearly all of its medical staff. That left the
facility with four doctors and 50 volunteers, medical workers and
nurses. The towns of Beit Lahiya, where the hospital is located, Jabalia
and Beit Hanoon have been witnessing waves of attacks in the past month
as the Israeli military has intensified its air and ground operations in
the north. Despite several Israeli-enforced displacement orders, tens of
thousands of civilians are still in the north. Many of them told Al
Jazeera that they fear leaving the area because of the risk of being hit
by Israeli snipers, the danger of being attacked in Israeli-designated
so-called <safe zones> that Israel repeatedly hits or to never be
allowed to return to their homes. The Israeli military claims its aim is
to avoid the regrouping of Hamas fighters. But on top of escalating its
attacks, it has laid siege to several areas in the north, further
choking the already scarce aid allowed to enter. In October, Israel
allowed a daily average of 30 humanitarian trucks to enter Gaza, 6
percent of the supplies allowed into the Strip before the war, according
to Philippe Lazzarini, head of the United Nations agency for Palestinian
refugees (UNRWA). Israel officially notified the UN that it was ending
its agreement with UNRWA, alleging that some of its staff workers were
Hamas fighters who took part in the October 7, 2023 attack in southern
Israel. The agency said the Israeli decision will lead to the "collapse"
of aid in Gaza. UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres said UN lawyers
are reviewing the move. In mid-October, the United States issued a rare
warning telling Israel to take specific steps to improve the
humanitarian situation in Gaza within 30 days or risk seeing military
aid restricted. As of Monday, the results were not "good enough", US
Department of State spokesman Matthew Miller told reporters. "They
certainly do not have a pass ... They have failed to implement all the
things that we recommended," Miller added, but declined to say what
consequences Israel would face if it failed to implement the requests.
The US is Israel's main supplier of weapons. US Secretary of State
Antony Blinken also spoke to Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant by
telephone urging him to "substantially increase and sustain humanitarian
aid - including food, medicine, and other essential supplies - to
civilians across all of Gaza".
Israel's war in Gaza has killed at least 43,374 Palestinians and wounded
102,261 since October 7, 2023. An estimated 1,139 people were killed in
Israel during the Hamas-led attacks that day and more than 200 were
taken captive.

<<Israel hostages forum calls for probe into secrets leak case
Gaza hostages group urges probe after ex-aide to Israeli PM Netanyahu
allegedly leaked confidential documents, potentially hindering hostage
release efforts. Ex-aide Eliezer Feldstein and three others detained
Sunday, sparking opposition calls for Netanyahu's accountability, which
his office denies. A Gaza hostages campaign group called Monday for an
investigation into the alleged leak of confidential documents by an
ex-aide to Israel's premier, which may have undermined efforts to secure
their release. A court announced Sunday that Eliezer Feldstein, a former
aide to Binjamin Netanyahu, had been detained along with three others
for allegedly leaking documents to foreign media. The case has prompted
the opposition to question whether Netanyahu was involved in the leak --
an allegation denied by his office. "The (hostage) families demand an
investigation against all those suspected of sabotage and undermining
state security," the Hostages and Missing Families Forum said in a
statement. "Such actions, especially during wartime, endanger the
hostages, jeopardise their chances of return and abandon them to the
risk of being killed by Hamas terrorists." The forum represents most of
the families of the 97 hostages still held in Gaza after they were
seized in the unprecedented October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel that
sparked the war. The Israeli military says 34 of them are dead. "The
suspicions suggest that individuals associated with the prime minister
acted to carry out one of the greatest frauds in the country's history,"
the forum said. "This is a moral low point like no other. It is a severe
blow to the remaining trust between the government and its citizens."
Critics have long accused Netanyahu of stalling in truce negotiations
and prolonging the war to appease his far-right coalition partners.
Israel's domestic security agency Shin Bet and the army launched an
investigation into the breach in September after two newspapers, British
weekly The Jewish Chronicle and Germany's Bild tabloid, published
articles based on the classified military documents. One article claimed
a document had been uncovered showing that then Hamas leader Yahya
Sinwar -- later killed by Israel -- and the hostages in Gaza would be
smuggled into Egypt through the Philadelphi corridor along the
Gaza-Egypt border. The other was based on what was said to be an
internal Hamas leadership memo on Sinwar's strategy to hamper talks
towards the liberation of hostages.
Cabinet leaks probe
The Israeli court said the release of the documents ran the risk of
causing <severe harm to state security. As a result, the ability of
security bodies to achieve the objective of releasing the hostages, as
part of the war goals, could have been compromised,> it added. On
October 7, 2023, Hamas militants attacked southern Israel, resulting in
the deaths of 1,206 people on Israeli soil, mostly civilians, according
to AFP's count based on official Israeli data, including hostages who
died or were killed in captivity in Gaza. Israel's retaliatory military
offensive in Gaza has so far killed at least 43,341 people, a majority
of them civilians, according to the territory's health ministry. The UN
considers these figures as reliable. Meanwhile, late on Monday Netanyahu
asked the attorney general to begin investigating other alleged leaks
from cabinet meetings during the war. <Since the beginning of the war,
we have witnessed an incessant flood of serious leaks and revelations of
state secrets,> he said in a letter to the attorney general, which was
posted on his Telegram channel. <Therefore, I am appealing to you to
immediately order the investigation of the leaks in general.>

<<At least 12 killed in Gaza attacks as Israel bombards Kamal Adwan
hospital
Hospital director says staff and patients were wounded in Israeli
attacks on the last partially functioning hospital in northern Gaza. At
least 12 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli air strikes on Gaza,
medics said, as Israeli forces continue to press their siege and ground
assault on the northern part of the Palestinian territory. Medics in
Gaza told the Reuters news agency on Monday at least seven people were
killed in an attack on the north Gaza city of Beit Lahiya. Five others
were killed in attacks in central and southern Gaza. The Palestinian
Ministry of Health in Gaza said that the Kamal Adwan Hospital, the last
partially functioning hospital in the north of the enclave, was being
attacked by Israeli forces.
“At this moment, occupation forces are continuing to violently bombard
and destroy Kamal Adwan Hospital, targeting all parts of the hospital,”
the ministry said.
Hospital director Hossam Abu Safieh said in a statement that the
situation was “catastrophic”, and that “the army did not contact the
hospital before directly targeting it. Several of our staff have been
injured, and we are unable to leave the hospital," he said. "We do not
understand the purpose behind this bombing that is targeting the
hospital." Reporting from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Al Jazeera’s
Hani Mahmoud said this is the second time in recent weeks that the
hospital had been attacked. “The hospital does not operate as a health
facility now. It’s more of accommodating injuries and the dead who are
brought to the hospital,” Mahmoud said. “The entire northern part of the
strip is left without any proper healthcare facility, the whole
healthcare system is gone, is completely collapsing … and civilians are
left without any proper access to that,” he added. Israel’s military
began a siege and ground assault on northern Gaza on October 5 in what
it said was an operation to prevent Hamas fighters from regrouping
there. Palestinians say the new offensives and orders for people to
leave were aimed at emptying two northern Gaza towns and a refugee camp
to create buffer zones. Israel denies this. Since Israel launched its
war on Gaza in October 2023, at least 43,374 people have been killed in
the enclave, and 102,261 others wounded, according to Palestinian health
authorities. The Israeli assault came in response to the Hamas-led
attack on southern Israel on October 7 2023, in which at least 1,139
people were killed, according to an Al Jazeera tally based on Israeli
statistics, and around 250 others were seized as hostages.
Unspeakable suffering'
Earlier on Monday, Israel announced that it had informed the United
Nations it was ending its relations with the UN Agency for Palestinian
Refugees (UNRWA), despite international calls for the importance of the
UN agency in providing aid. UNRWA Commissioner-General Philippe
Lazzarini said that along with banning the agency, Israel had also
scaled back the entry of aid trucks into Gaza to an average of 30 trucks
a day, which “cannot meet the needs of two million people. Restricting
humanitarian access and at the same time dismantling UNRWA will add an
additional layer of suffering to already unspeakable suffering,”
Lazzarini said. An Israeli government spokesperson said no limit had
been imposed on aid entering Gaza, with 47 aid trucks entering northern
Gaza on Sunday.

<<Netanyahu aide leaks may have harmed hostage talks, court says
A mother whose son is being held hostage by Hamas in Gaza has accused
Israel's government of "a cynical deception operation that is taken from
dark regimes", after it emerged a government spokesperson had been
arrested for allegedly leaking documents that may have undermined a
ceasefire and hostage release deal. It came after a court in Rishon
LeZion said Eli Feldstein and three others were under investigation for
feeding stories to European newspapers. Israel Defense Forces (IDF)
Radio also reported a fifth arrest in connection with the probe, said to
be a major in the military's intelligence branch information security
department, tasked with preventing and investigating leaks. The Haaretz
newspaper said all unnamed suspects were from this unit. Prime Minister
Benjamin Netanyahu has denied wrongdoing by his staff, but opposition
figures and hostages' families have accused his government of sabotaging
negotiations. The stories, given to Britain's Jewish Chronicle and
Germany's tabloid Bild, were based on partial or false information and
came at a crucial time for hostage negotiations. Speaking at a protest
in Tel Aviv, Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan has been held by Hamas for
over a year, said the stories "supported Netanyahu's propaganda lies to
torpedo the deal". The documents claimed Hamas was planning to smuggle
Israeli hostages to Egypt - intent on scuppering any proposed ceasefire
deal. Some commentators say the revelations were politically useful for
Netanyahu's hardline position on the talks, which have made almost no
progress.
Over 100 hostages out of 251 taken by Hamas on 7 October 2023 remain
unaccounted for.
After the stories were published in September, the IDF launched an
inquiry to discover the source of the leaks. This eventually led to the
arrest of Eli Feldstein, along with the three others, whose identities
have not been revealed. Mr Feldstein had been working as a government
spokesperson and was often seen accompanying the prime minister on
visits. He had previously worked for the far-right Minister of National
Security, Itamar Ben-Gvir, and before that he served as an IDF
spokesperson. Following news of his arrest, two leading opposition
politicians held a news conference. Benny Gantz, who until recently was
in Netanyahu's war cabinet, said that if sensitive security information
was used for a "political survival campaign", it would not only be a
criminal offence, but "a crime against the nation". Speaking at the same
event, the leader of the opposition, Yair Lapid, said that if the prime
minister knew about the leaks, "he is complicit in one of the most
serious security offences" and that if he didn't know, he is not fit for
office. Netanyahu has denied wrongdoing by his staff The revelations
also led to strong criticism from the families of the hostages, who have
become increasingly frustrated with the government's failure to secure
the release of their loved ones. They said it implied an active campaign
to discredit them, calling it <a moral low that has no depth. This is a
fatal injury to the remnants of trust between the government and its
citizens.> The documents were published in European newspapers,
allegedly to circumvent military censorship laws in Israel. The Jewish
Chronicle (JC) was engulfed in a scandal after it emerged it had
published stories based on a single anonymous source. The freelance
writer behind the pieces was fired, with the articles eventually being
taken down. The articles claimed that the late Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar
- who was killed by Israeli troops in southern Gaza last month - was
surrounded by a ring of about 20 hostages, and that plans had been
discovered to smuggle both Sinwar and the captives into Egypt. Leading
Israeli security journalists questioned the veracity of the reports. A
number of high-profile writers resigned from the paper, accusing it of
lacking journalistic standards. Jonathan Freedland, Hadley Freeman and
David Aaronovitch announced they were quitting their columns over what
Freedland described as a "great disgrace" at the world's oldest Jewish
newspaper. At the time, the JC said it conducted a <thorough
investigation> into one of its freelance journalists, Elon Perry, <after
allegations were made about aspects of his record>. It said it was <not
satisfied> with some of the claims made by the writer, and therefore had
deleted his articles and ended its association with him. Elon Perry told
BBC News the JC "made a huge mistake with its statement". He said he
could not reveal his source to JC editors and described a "witch-hunt
against me caused by jealousy". The Bild articles, meanwhile, were based
on a different set of intelligence documents. While they were found to
be authentic, leading security journalist Ronan Bergman found their
significance had been greatly exaggerated. It was the publication of
this story that triggered the investigation by the IDF and security
services, ultimately leading to the arrests. Despite the fierce
criticism he is facing, few people here think the scandal will prove
fatal for Netanyahu's premiership. He is already facing multiple court
cases on charges of bribery, fraud and breach of trust, which he denies,
yet remains in power, propped up by a coalition of far-right and
religious parties. <It's not like there's a charge where you can say,
'Well, they haven't thrown this yet against the prime minister, this is
going to bring him down,'> says Anshel Pfeffer, a leading commentator
for the Haaretz newspaper. He told me there was no sign of the
government collapsing. <Their line has been that he is the victim of a
cabal of lawyers and journalists, and now they're also adding in the
security establishment, who they say are out to get him.> Netanyahu has
sought to distance himself from the allegations, saying the arrested
spokesperson had never had access to classified information. Despite
that, this is a growing scandal that has further damaged the already
frayed relationship between the government and the hostage families.>>

<<Israel notifies UN of ending ties with UNRWA amid warning of famine in
Gaza
The move comes following the adoption of two controversial bills banning
the UN agency from operating in Israel.
Israel has officially notified the United Nations of its decision to cut
ties with its agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) as another UN
agency warns of an impending famine in genocide-ravaged Gaza. In a
statement on Monday, the Israeli Ministry of Foreign Affairs said it
cancelled a cooperation agreement from 1967 which provided the legal
basis of the country's relations with UNRWA. <UNRWA – the organisation
whose employees participated in the October 7 massacre and many of whose
employees are Hamas operatives - is part of the problem in the Gaza
Strip and not part of the solution,> Foreign Minister Israel Katz was
quoted as saying. The Israeli parliament last week adopted two
controversial bills banning UNRWA from operating on Israeli territory,
closing its premises in the occupied West Bank, including East
Jerusalem, and Gaza. Israel alleges fighters of Palestinian group Hamas
have infiltrated UNRWA. The UN agency denies the allegations and says it
takes measures to ensure its neutrality. UNRWA on Monday said Israel's
ban on its operations would lead to the "collapse" of humanitarian work
in the war-torn Gaza Strip. "If this law is implemented, it would be
likely to cause the collapse of the international humanitarian operation
in the Gaza Strip - an operation of which UNRWA is the backbone,"
Jonathan Fowler, UNRWA spokesman, told the AFP news agency. The UN
agency provides education, healthcare and other basic services to
Palestinian refugees from the 1948 war surrounding Israel’s creation and
their descendants, who now number nearly six million. Refugee families
make up the majority of Gaza's 2.3 million population.
Aid groups have warned that Israel's ban on UNRWA could create further
obstacles to addressing a severe humanitarian crisis in Gaza. Israel has
said other UN agencies and aid groups can fill the gap, but those
organisations insist UNRWA is essential. Israel's notification to the UN
came as the World Food Programme (WFP) on Monday warned that the
humanitarian situation in Gaza "could soon escalate into famine" as
Israeli forces continue to severely restrict the entry of food and other
supplies into the enclave. On Saturday, a WFP official said the agency
cannot serve as a replacement for UNRWA in Gaza. "We cannot replace the
important functions of the UNRWA in Gaza, such as the administration of
emergency shelters, schools and health centres," Martin Frick, head of
the WFP Berlin office, told German media group RND. In January, Israel
claimed that more than a dozen UNRWA members took part in a Hamas-led
attack on Israel last year, in which Palestinian fighters killed more
than 1,100 people, mostly civilians, and took about 250 captives. After
the assault, the Israeli army waged a ferocious military campaign in
Gaza, killing more than 43,000 people so far, displacing almost its
entire 2.3 million population, and reducing large swaths of the
Palestinian enclave into rubble. The UN launched an investigation into
Israel's allegations which resulted in the termination of contracts of
nine staff members against which <the evidence – if authenticated and
corroborated – could indicate that the UNRWA staff members may have been
involved> in the attack. In July, Israel claimed that another 100 UNRWA
employees were members of Hamas and other Palestinian groups. The agency
asked Israel to provide more information to take action. UNRWA on Monday
told Al Jazeera it had not received any response.
Meanwhile, UN officials say Israeli forces have killed more than 130 of
their workers in a year in Gaza - the largest such toll in any conflict
since the global body was founded.

<<Over 50 children killed in Israeli strikes in Gaza's Jabalia in 2
days: UN
UNICEF says 'horrific level of child deaths' occurring in northern Gaza
as Israel's month-long violent siege continues.
UNICEF says more than 50 children have been killed in Gaza's Jabalia
refugee camp in the past 48 hours, with the Save the Children charity
saying the high number shows "the intensity of this conflict and this
war on children. Children are under constant bombardment, in constant
fear," Rachel Cummings, Save the Children International's Humanitarian
Director and Team Lead in Gaza, told Al Jazeera on Sunday. More than
16,700 children have been killed in Israel's assault on Gaza since
October last year, according to Palestinian officials, more than a third
of the overall death toll of 43,341 confirmed by health authorities.
Speaking from Deir el-Balah in central Gaza, Cummings said that the
number of casualties among children does not account for the
approximately 20,000 who are missing or have become unaccompanied in
this war. Israel has killed more than 1,000 people during its month-long
violent siege of Gaza’s north, during which it has blocked the entry of
food and medical aid and crippled health facilities.
"People are being constantly bombarded with aerial attacks, and of
course, we know that the food and the water are not sufficient. The
convoys of food and water are being denied into the north ... It is
absolutely catastrophic," Cummings said.
"We are seeing the apocalypse now unfolding in the north of Gaza."
Dr Hussam Abu Safia from Kamal Adwan Hospital, northern Gaza's only
functioning facility, said the hospital has been "flooded with victims".
He urged the international community and health organisations to press
for an "urgent humanitarian passage" to deliver fuel and medical
supplies and for specialised medical staff to help with the casualties.
'Horrific level of child deaths'
In its statement on Saturday, the UN agency said the children were
killed in an Israeli attack which levelled two residential buildings
sheltering hundreds of people. "Taken alongside the horrific level of
child deaths in North Gaza from other attacks, these most recent events
combine to write yet another dark chapter in one of the darkest periods
of this terrible war," according to a statement by UNICEF's Executive
Director Catherine Russell. It also said a UNICEF staff member working
on a polio vaccination campaign in the north of the enclave came under
fire by a quadcopter while driving through Jabalia, which has suffered
the worst of Israel's attacks. "The attacks on Jabalia, the vaccination
clinic and the UNICEF staff member are yet further examples of the grave
consequences of the indiscriminate strikes on civilians in the Gaza
Strip. The entire Palestinian population in north Gaza, especially
children, are at imminent risk of dying from disease, famine, and the
ongoing bombardments," the statement said. On Sunday, the World Health
Organisation (WHO) said Israeli forces dropped a stun grenade on a polio
vaccination centre in Gaza City, wounding at least four children,
despite agreeing to a humanitarian pause for a long-delayed inoculation
campaign. The Israeli army also killed 13 Palestinians in an air raid
targeting two densely populated areas in the north amid the siege, which
has caused a humanitarian crisis. UN rights chief Volker Turk said the
"darkest moment" of the conflict is unfolding in northern Gaza. Israel
launched the military offensive, what many dubbed "a war of revenge"
against Palestinians, in the wake of a Hamas-led attack on Israel on
October 7, 2023. More than 1,100 people, mostly civilians, were killed,
and about 240 people were taken captive in the attack.
