Ben-Gvir celebrates demolition of Palestinian homes in Israel
Far-right Israeli minister Itamar Ben-Gvir has praised the destruction of 10,000 Palestinian homes in Israel.
Israel's military disclosed it will initiate its inaugural criminal examinations into the behavior of its forces in Gaza, centering around the deaths of 5-year-old Hind Rajab and her family, along with 15 Palestinian medics. The military declared it would not look into three other assaults that resulted in the casualties of World Central Kitchen and Doctors Without Borders personnel. It claimed to have concluded assessments of 150 incidents involving troop conduct in Gaza, rendering verdicts on the five cases.
Chef José Andrés, the founder of U.S.-based World Central Kitchen, denounced the decision on X, calling it "wrong and painful." These investigations pertain to fatalities that sparked substantial global outrage. Hind Rajab was ensnared in a vehicle with her slain relatives, in plea for aid through a phone call before she too succumbed to death in February 2024.
Following the shooting of the 15 medics in March 2025, troops interred their bodies in a collective grave. Israel's operation in Gaza has resulted in over 73,000 deaths, encompassing thousands of women and children, as per the territory's Health Ministry. Rights organizations and UN committees have asserted that Israel's military campaign in Gaza has been marked by widespread human rights violations and potential war crimes.
