EU Ambassadors arrived at Kibbutz Nir Oz to mark three years since the October 7 terror attack. EU Ambassador Michael Mann said: "What happened here was not a battle. It was not resistance. It was a massacre of civilians inside their homes. A heinous crime against humanity."
שגרירים ושגרירות ממדינות האיחוד האירופי הגיעו לקיבוץ ניר עוז לציון שלוש שנים למתקפת הטרור של ה-7 באוקטובר. שגריר האיחוד האירופי בישראל, מייקל מאן:״מה שקרה כאן לא היה קרב. זו לא הייתה התנגדות. זה היה טבח באזרחים בתוך בתיהם. פשע נתעב נגד האנושות״. ynet.co.il/activism/article/…

Tämänhetkisten tietojen perusteella Flydubai-lennon tapauksessa vaikuttaa olleen kyse mahdollisesta jihadistisesta terrori-iskusta, jossa on yhtäläisyyksiä 9/11-iskujen tapaan pyrkiä tuhoamaan siviililentokone. Hyökkääjän motiivia ei ole vielä selvitetty, mutta teko näyttää kohdistuneen nimenomaan israelilaisia siviilejä kuljettaneeseen matkustajakoneeseen, mikä tekee tapauksesta erityisen vakavan. Hyökkääjä yritti saada 174 ihmistä kuljettaneen koneen putoamaan. Katastrofi vältettiin vain matkustajien ja miehistön poikkeuksellisen rohkeuden ja kekseliäisyyden ansiosta.

Yesterday, Amb Nina Nordström had the privilege to visit two Bedouin villages in the Negev. Many are unrecognized and under eviction threats and due to their status often lack necessary services. Despite the similarities, each village is distinct in its tradition and culture.
