ROME, June 8 (Reuters) - Italian prosecutors put #Israel's far-right National Security Minister Itamar #BenGvir under investigation over the treatment of activists who were part of a #Gaza flotilla last ‌month, a judicial source said on Monday.

The source, who asked not to be named, confirmed earlier reports by Italian news agencies and said Ben-Gvir was being investigated on suspicion of torture and kidnapping of #Italian citizens who were among the activists.

28,500 days: The long genocide. - JVP

The dispossession of Palestinians isn’t just a racist rallying call for Israeli extremists: It is a daily reality for Palestinians across historic Palestine, one that is baked into the Israeli state’s treatment of Palestinians at every level.

Eighteen defendants allegedly involved in a #PalestineAction raid on an Israeli-owned arms factory in the #UK will no longer face charges of aggarvated burglary, after six others were acquitted of the same charges.

At Woolwich Crown Court in London on Wednesday, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said the Crown Prosecution Service had "reconsidered the sufficiency of the evidence" and would offer no evidence on that charge.

The 18 will continue to face other charges in connection with the alleged raid.

#Israel’s continued strangulation of essential supplies during winter has left hundreds of thousands of Palestinians shivering in the wet and cold and nearly three dozen dead. The genocidal war has displaced nearly the entire population and reduced #Gaza to a broken landscape of rubble and collapsed structures. Hundreds of thousands of #Palestinians are now living in flimsy tents that provide little shelter from the elements.

How Israel’s multi-ton truck bombs ripped through Gaza City

In the weeks before the ceasefire on October 10, #Israel widely deployed a new weapon: M113 Armoured Personnel Carriers repurposed to carry between 1 and 3 tons of explosives, Reuters found.

As Israeli troops pushed toward the centre of Gaza City, these powerful bombs, along with airstrikes and armour-plated bulldozers, leveled swathes of buildings, drone footage and satellite images show.

In most cases, but not all, the inhabitants fled ahead of demolitions after Israeli warnings, residents, Israeli security sources and #Gaza authorities said.

[article is critical of the analysis by #Hamas - written by an Israeli journalist opposed to the genocide and occupation.]

Hamas Is Proud of Its ‘Achievements’ but Hasn’t Convinced the Gazans Who Pay the Price

Just like well-run institutions – governmental or nongovernmental – that submit periodic reports on their activities and performance, Hamas has just published an assessment of its October 7 attack and the aftermath up to the cease-fire that was sealed two years later.

Ahead of Saturday’s one-year anniversary of #Israel abducting Dr. #HussamAbuSafiya from the #Gaza #hospital he ran, advocates demanded the release the scores of health workers still imprisoned by Israeli occupation forces.

“One year ago, Dr. Hussam Abu Safiya was abducted by the Israeli military along with dozens of other medical staff during a horrific raid on the Kamal Adwan Hospital in Gaza,” Dr. Yipeng Ge, a member of #DoctorsAgainstGenocide, said Friday on social media. “Free Hussam Abu Safiya. Free them all.”
