  "account": "Saudi Arabia issued emergency alerts in its capital Riyadh and nearby Kharj, as reported by the Civil Defense agency. Meanwhile, Israeli military vehicles opened fire in northern and southern Gaza, resulting in at least one Palestinian being wounded according to Palestinian media. Shehab News confirmed that IDF vehicles fired upon tents housing Palestinian displaced persons west of Khan Yunis, causing a woman to suffer a gunshot wound to the mouth. Additionally, an Israeli drone reportedly struck south of Khan Yunis. Lebanon's Al Mayadeen channel also reported IDF vehicles firing east of Gaza City's Tuffah neighborhood, with Israeli forces demolishing buildings in the northern Gaza Strip. Senator Bernie Sanders criticized U.S. aid to Israel, demanding an end to funding the extremist Netanyahu government, and threatened legal action against Israeli filmmakers who exposed the Gaza conflict, including revoking the directors' Israeli citizenship. Saudi Arabia issued emergency alerts across its Red Sea coast, from Yemen's Houthi-controlled territory to Jordan, according to the Saudi Civil Defense.",
