“If the war goes on like this…people will just stop showing up for reserve duty. Because if you cannot live with yourself, you just can't.” Israeli air force pilots on the ethical dilemmas of the Gaza war. A long, important read. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…

Israel won't allow foreign journalists into Gaza, so inevitably this piece had to be done at arm's length. Not the best way to gauge the atmosphere there, but I'm grateful to those who spoke to us and pointed us in the right direction. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

Israel’s latest evacuation order is very specific but affects 1000s of people huddled in Gaza’s Rimal neighbourhood. One tells me she’s exhausted and has no idea where to go. Imagine being uprooted a dozen times or more, told to go this way and that for 19 months.

“Abhorrent…egregious…wholly disproportionate.” Unusually tough language from UK, France and Canada on Israel’s latest escalation in Gaza. Plus threat of “concrete action” if no change. gov.uk/government/new…

“Actions that will undoubtedly be in history books.” The list of astonishing against-the-odds achievements is long. This is right at the top, however this war ends.

Ukrainians roll their eyes when they see headlines like this. What do we think has been happening for the past 3 years? What happened the night before Op Spider’s Web? This is not retaliation. It’s continuation.

One drone's 2 min journey from lift off to touch down. The drone flies low and fast (around 50mph) before the pilot reaches Belaya airbase and looks around for a suitable target, a Tu-22M3

"We can take his [Trump's] word for his word…But I'm not going to speculate in a larger sense on what that would mean.” 🤔 bbc.co.uk/news/live/cx23…

Donald Trump’s dialogue with Myroslava Petsa: — Is the US ready to sell Patriots to Ukraine? — Are you living in Ukraine? — My husband is there. — Is your husband a soldier? — Yes. — Wow. That’s tough. … We're going to see if we can make some Patriot missiles available.

Profoundly disturbing testimony or “blood libels”? The questions about GHF’s Gaza aid distribution operation continue to pile up. haaretz.com/israel-news/20…
