“RIGHT TO LIVE IN SAFETY”
“It is important to remember that we are fighting a war more just than any other, a war started by a bloodthirsty enemy who massacred innocent people in inhumane ways. We do not forget, we will not forget and we will continue to do so. “Remind it also to those who try to deny it,” Israeli army chief of staff Herzi Halevi said on Saturday. “No one will stop us, neither The Hague nor the Axis of Evil nor anyone else,” added Prime Minister of the Jewish state Benjamin Netanyahu.

“A TASK FOR OUR HUMANITY”
The “great death, destruction” and “pain of the last hundred days” since the start of the war in Gaza between Israel and Hamas are “a blot on our common humanity,” the head of the aid organization for Palestinian refugees said on Saturday (UNRWA).
“It has been a hundred days since this devastating war began, killing and displacing people in Gaza following horrific attacks by Hamas and other groups against the people of Israel. It was a hundred days of hardship and suffering for the hostages and their families,” criticizes Philippe Lazzarini in a press release.

117 JOURNALISTS KILLED
According to the Hamas media office, 117 journalists have been killed in the Gaza Strip since October 7. On site, reporters lack protection from the Israeli army's incessant bombardments, which seem indistinguishable depending on the type of building.

ATTACKS IN THE WEST BANK
The Israeli army said it killed three attackers last night who carried out an attack on the Jewish colony of Adora in the occupied West Bank, where there has been an escalation of violence on the brink of the Gaza war. Attackers entered the settlement, located about 20 kilometers (12 miles) from Hebron, a major city in the south of the West Bank, and opened fire on patrolling soldiers, the army said.
While residents of that colony received a warning from authorities ordering them to stay home due to a “terrorist infiltration,” the “three attackers were identified and neutralized by security forces,” the Israeli army added.

99TH DAY
After the October 7 attacks, it is already the 99th day of the war between Israel and Hamas in the Gaza Strip. While Israel defended itself at the International Court of Justice in The Hague against charges of genocide over its operations in the Gaza Strip, the bombings in Gaza continued the following night. The UN, in turn, accuses the Israeli army of restricting fuel supplies, especially for hospitals.

WELCOME
Hello and welcome to this live broadcast dedicated to the war in the Middle East and its consequences around the world. There you will find the most important information of the day.
The Gaza Strip again faced a total internet and telephone blackout on Friday as Israeli bombings of the small besieged area and fighting with the Palestinian Hamas continued.
“We regret having to announce the complete cutback of communications and internet services in Gaza after the Israeli side shut down the servers,” Palestinian operator Paltel said in a statement, as such cuts have already taken place since the start of hostilities on Palestinian territory would have.
“Communication with our teams in Gaza is completely interrupted,” the Palestinian Red Crescent complained, saying this made it difficult for emergency services to quickly access victims.
While the humanitarian situation there is dire, the United Nations also regretted that aid operations in the territory's north are becoming increasingly difficult and accused the Israeli army of restricting fuel supplies, particularly to hospitals.
