At least 25 Palestinians killed in Gaza in the last few hours in Israeli attacks

At least 25 people died in Israeli attacks in different parts of the Gaza Strip throughout the night and early hours of Wednesday, according to the rescue services of the Civil Defense of the enclave.

The group’s spokesman, Mahmud Basal, confirmed that at least 11 Palestinians, including nine women, lost their lives in a bombing of a family home east of Jan Yunis, in the south of the enclave.

Palestinian media also report that a fisherman lost his life in an Israeli attack when he was at sea off the coast of Jan Yunis, near the one designated as a “humanitarian area” by Israeli forces.

In addition, nine other people, six of them women, died in another attack last night against the house of a university professor in the town of Yabalia, in the north of the Strip.

And in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the center of the enclave, at least four people were killed in a bombing of a residence, Civil Defense said.

Since the Israeli war began in Gaza, more than eleven months ago, at least 41,000 people have lost their lives and more than 94,000 have been injured in Israeli attacks against the Palestinian enclave, according to the latest data from the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.

The Israeli Army has also intensified its incursions into the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank.

At least five people died last night in an airstrike near the town of Tubas, in the northeast of the occupied West Bank, as confirmed today by both the Palestinian Red Crescent and the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian National Authority, which governs small parts of the territory.

According to Israeli forces, the attack was directed against a cell of armed militiamen, and they framed the operation as part of their offensive against Palestinian militias in the northern West Bank, which began last week.

The official Palestinian news agency, Wafa, has specified that the attack took place near a mosque. All the dead were between 18 and 24 years old.

In addition, two other people were killed last night in a rail in Tulkarem, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.

On the other hand, an Israeli in his 20s is in critical condition after being run over near a Jewish settlement in the southern occupied West Bank, the emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) said on Wednesday.

The Israeli Army confirmed the event and said that its forces eliminated the alleged attacker, whom they described as a “terrorist.”

Habeas Corpus at risk as Trump team eyes drastic border policy shift

The White House is reportedly considering suspending habeas corpus, the legal principle that protects individuals against arbitrary detention, as part of its efforts to escalate anti-immigration measures in the United States.

In remarks to reporters, Stephen Miller, a senior advisor to President Donald Trump, argued that the U.S. Constitution allows the suspension of habeas corpus “in times of invasion.”

“It’s an option we are actively considering, and it all depends on whether the courts do the right thing or not,” Miller stated.

The Trump administration has frequently invoked the notion of a “migrant invasion” to justify actions such as the militarization of the U.S.-Mexico border and the deportation of foreign nationals—primarily Venezuelans—to El Salvador’s CECOT megaprison.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro assured his Chinese counterpart Xi Jinping, during a meeting held in Moscow on the sidelines of the 80th anniversary of the Red Army’s victory in World War II, that China has “loyal friends” in the Caribbean nation.

“You know that in the Bolivarian Republic of Venezuela you have loyal friends and people willing to continue working for a new world,” said the South American leader, according to footage aired Friday by Venezuelan state broadcaster VTV.

Maduro, accompanied by several of his ministers including Defense Minister Vladimir Padrino López, highlighted the “great results” of a 2023 agreement between China and Venezuela called the “All-Weather and All-Round Strategic Partnership.”

“I believe we can multiply the great results we’re already seeing, and I’m sure that strong and clear guidelines will emerge from this meeting to keep moving forward together,” Maduro added.
