Ehud Olmert says Tel Aviv is committing indiscriminate, limitless, cruel and criminal killings of civilians in Gaza.

At least 13 journalists, including an Anadolu Agency photojournalist, were injured in attacks by Israeli army forces and illegal Israeli settlers in the occupied West Bank.

Issam al-Rimawi, an Anadolu photojournalist, was hit on his head with a stick by illegal settlers as he was covering settler assaults in Al-Mughayyir village, east of Ramallah in the central West Bank, according to an Anadolu reporter.

Israel has received 940 aircraft and vessels loaded with US weapons and military equipment since the start of the Gaza war in October 2023, the Defence Ministry said.

“The 800th aircraft in the comprehensive military equipment and weapons airlift operation that commenced immediately following the (Gaza) war has landed in Israel this morning,” the ministry said in a statement.

During the airlift, the ministry said, over 90,000 tons of military equipment have been delivered to Israel via 800 flights and approximately 140 maritime shipments.

The German foreign minister expressed shock over the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and stressed that Germany will not be forced into unconditional solidarity.

Israeli authorities suspended flights at Tel Aviv’s Ben Gurion Airport after a missile attack from Yemen, local media said.

The public broadcaster KAN said the flight suspension was taken as a “precautionary measure” after the attack, which caused delays in the landing of several flights.

The Israeli army confirmed that two missiles from Yemen were intercepted, triggering air-raid sirens in several areas in Israel.

Houthi military spokesman Yahya Saree confirmed the attack, saying a hypersonic ballistic missile targeted Ben Gurion Airport in Tel Aviv. He added that another ballistic missile was fired at a “vital target” in eastern Jaffa in central Israel.

Japan called on Israel to ensure an “enabling environment” for the UN agency for Palestinian refugees (UNRWA) to effectively conduct its relief activities in war-torn Gaza.

Japan’s Foreign Minister Iwaya Takeshi made the demand during a meeting with Philippe Lazzarini, the head of UNRWA, according to a statement.

Expressing his respect for UNRWA staff who are "devotedly engaged in humanitarian assistance under challenging circumstances," Takeshi said that the agency plays an "indispensable" role in supporting Palestine refugees in the Middle East.

Pakistan condemned "in the strongest possible terms" the latest provocative actions by Israeli forces as well as illegal settlers that aim to undermine the religious, historical, and legal status of the Al-Aqsa Mosque.

"Such actions are unacceptable and constitute a flagrant violation of international law and have the potential to further escalate an already volatile situation in the region.

Pakistan calls for upholding the sanctity and historical status of the holy sites and preventing Israel from any further provocations," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement. Pakistan also "strongly" deplored the continued targeting of Palestinian civilians in Gaza by Israeli forces.

The World Health Organisation (WHO) has said that Gaza's health system is at a breaking point as Israel's intensified military operations continue, amidst worsening mass population displacement and acute shortages of basic necessities.

Four major hospitals in Gaza have had to suspend medical services in the past week due to their proximity to incidents.

WHO missions attempting to reach Al-Awda Hospital and the Indonesian Hospital were impeded, it said on Thursday.

Two Palestinian civilians were killed and eight others wounded after the Israeli army targeted a tent sheltering displaced people in the Al-Mawasi area, east of Khan Younis, in southern Gaza.

WAFA correspondent reported that the Israeli artillery strike hit the makeshift tent where a family had sought refuge on Thursday after being displaced by the ongoing onslaught on Gaza.

The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 53,762 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 122,197 others wounded.
