US Carries Out Its First Aid Airdrop In Gaza

Handout photo dated March 1, 2024 shows U.S. Air Force aerial port Airmen load pallets of food and water destined for an airdrop over Gaza aboard a C-130J Super Hercules at an undisclosed location in Southwest Asia. The US has carried out its first airdrop of humanitarian aid for Gaza, with more than 30,000 meals parachuted in by three military planes. The operation, carried out jointly with Jordan's air force, was the first of many announced by President Joe Biden. He promised to step up aid after at least 112 people were killed as crowds rushed a convoy on Thursday. The airdrop comes as a top US official said the framework of a deal for a six-week ceasefire in Gaza was in place. Photo by U.S. Air Forces Central Public Affairs via ABACAPRESS.COM

    Blinken Wraps Up Mideast Trip

    Handout photo shows Secretary of State Antony J. Blinken meets with Egyptian President Abdel Fattah El-Sisi in Al Alamein, Egypt on Tuesday, August 20, 2024. Blinken sought during a whirlwind trip to the Middle East to inject urgency into efforts to broker a Gaza ceasefire deal, but departed the region on Tuesday with an agreement between Israel and Hamas still elusive. Blinken and mediators from Egypt and Qatar have pinned their hopes on a U.S. "bridging proposal" aimed at narrowing the gaps between the two sides in the 10-month-old war, after negotiations last week paused without a breakthrough.

              Friendly Fire Kills 5 Israeli Soldiers - Gaza

              Friendly Fire Kills 5 Israeli Soldiers - Gaza

              An Israeli Air Force attack helicopter fires a missile while flying over the Palestinian territory on May 16, 2024, amid the ongoing conflict between Israel and the militant group Hamas. Five Israeli paratroopers were killed and several injured when an Israeli tank fired on them in the latest friendly-fire incident during the country’s war against Hamas militants in the Gaza Strip. The Israel Defense Forces said on Thursday that a tank fired twice at the troops, with an initial review showing that it was likely the result of misidentification during fierce fighting with “Hamas in a dense urban area” in Jabalia. IDF troops have returned to the ruins of the northern Gaza refugee camp a few months after Israel had declared the area cleared of Hamas fighters. Photo by Saeed Qaq/Middle East Images/ABACAPRESS.COM

Hundreds of people have left their homes carrying essential belongings with them to the displacement camps set up in Khan Yunis ahead of a wide military operation by Israel on Rafah town in Gaza, despite the growing pressure on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government to accept the proposed truce with Hamas and start a ceasefire. However, the Israeli war cabinet has persisted in going ahead with the operation in Rafah. The United Nations and humanitarian agencies have warned that the operation will lead to a humanitarian catastrophe in the already devastated areas in the Gaza Strip.
