#Israel says it has found the body of the last Israeli captive left in #Gaza, amid local reports of heavy shelling and bulldozing during the search.

The Israeli army carried out extensive bulldozing operations in the area of al-Sanafour and around the al-Batsh cemetery, located east of Gaza City.

Several graves were desecrated during the search for Gvili, who was found east of Gaza City.

... #Hamas responded on Monday, saying it "exerted significant efforts in the search for the body of the last prisoner" and that it had provided Israel with โ€œall the details and information in our posession regarding the location of the prisoner's remainsโ€.

But the YPGโ€™s inevitable clash with the state came this month, as the Syrian army, supported by allied Arab tribes, advanced quickly. The #YPGโ€™s rapid collapse was expected by those familiar with its history: the group, operating under a #Kurdish banner, was never a genuine grassroots force. It lacked popular support even among most #Kurds and was completely dependent on foreign [...] backing.

Throughout the Syrian conflict, the group shifted its loyalty from the Assad regime to Iran, then Russia, then the #US and the EU, and finally #Israel. At no point since 2011 could it have held its ground against its opponents without massive funding, weapons and air support from the US and others.

A harrowing cartoon by Peter de Wit depicts parents sunbathing on an idyllic beach in #Gaza, while their toddler blissfully digs up skulls in the sand.

De Witโ€™s โ€œGaza Beach 2030โ€ won the award for best political cartoon in the Netherlands last year.

Now, a plan unveiled by #Trump's son-in-law might just bring such a dystopian image to reality.

#JaredKushner, who serves as a #US special envoy, announced plans for a โ€œNew Gazaโ€ - complete with shiny skyscrapers, coastal tourist attractions and entire districts dedicated to business and commerce.

Her plight reflects the wider crisis in #Gaza, where nearly two million people continue to live under dire conditions three months after the ceasefire.

After two years of Israeli bombardment, much of Gazaโ€™s civilian infrastructure and public health system has been destroyed.

People had hoped the October ceasefire would bring some respite and a gradual path to recovery.

But with continued Israeli restrictions on border crossings, aid, and goods, residents feel the situation has merely shifted from an intense genocide to a slower-paced one.

Prisoners for #Palestine (PFP), a group that has been supporting the families and friends of the hunger strikers, said the action - which is considered to be largest since the 1981 Irish Republican hunger strike - had achieved a number of victories, with several key demands being met.

Claiming the cancellation of #Elbit's contract as a "resounding victory," it warned that the arms company's "days in #Britain are numbered".

PFP that in the past few weeks alone 500 people had signed up to take direct action against weapons firms linked to #Israel's genocidal war in #Gaza...

Additionally, civil defence spokesperson Mahmoud Basal accused #Israel of restricting the entry of necessary shelter, caravans and construction materials into #Gaza, compounding the natural disaster unfolding in the territory.

"A new polar storm is approaching Gaza, and what lies ahead will be catastrophic," Basal warned, adding that the coming days will bring "preventable deaths".

The Government Media Office in the strip stressed in its latest press release on Tuesday that "Gaza is dying slowly", adding that more than 7,000 tents were swept away in the past two days due to the strong winds and heavy rain.
