⭕️ Israeli reservist tells Der Spiegel his unit killed Palestinians who approached hidden positions, then logged them as terrorists The soldier, who spent about 250 days in Gaza, described a procedure his unit often used called “Alman Kasch,” in which troops take up concealed positions in areas that have not been evacuated and open fire on anyone who comes near. “If Palestinians, who do not know that our soldiers are there, approach, they are shelled. Usually other people come along who want to help, they are also shot at. Within a few minutes, five, six or seven people are killed. The protocol says: seven terrorists eliminated. But no, it’s just seven people who crossed an intersection. Important: We do not kill, we eliminate. That’s how we’ve always phrased it.” He said his brigade killed 160 to 170 people during more than 80 days in the Netzarim corridor, where “there were no fighting, no attacks by Hamas.” “Only one man was suspected to carry a gun. No one saw the gun, it was night, and he had something with him that could have been interpreted as a weapon. He was killed about 500 meters north of the corridor, so he was not a direct danger, and we never examined his body. But not only him, but all these dead were reported as terrorists.” The soldier is one of ten who gave testimony to Der Spiegel.

🇵🇸 Doctors in Gaza are performing full mastectomies on breast cancer patients even when tumors are small, because Israel prevents radiation therapy from entering the Strip, Al Araby TV correspondent Asem Alnabih reported. Breast-conserving surgery requires follow-up radiation, which is unavailable in Gaza, due to Israeli restrictions. The report, aired during Breast Cancer Awareness Month, found severe shortages of cancer drugs and disrupted early detection services. Gaza's main cancer hospital has been destroyed, and about 11,000 cancer patients remain stranded, as Israeli restrictions block most from leaving for treatment abroad.
