Acclaimed conservationist Mona Khalil was killed by an Israeli strike on her beachside home in the village of al-Mansouri in southern Lebanon. The 76-year-old spent more than 25 years working to protect endangered sea turtles, and her work helped turn a stretch of southern Lebanon’s coastline into one of the most important nesting sites for endangered sea turtles in the eastern Mediterranean. Khalil lived in “the Orange House” — her grandmother’s home, which she helped transform into a refuge for endangered sea turtles, an ecotourism site and a training ground in ecological conservation for a generation of volunteers. “This is not a project that belongs to me,” she once said. “It belongs to Lebanon. It belongs to the whole world.” A refugee of the Lebanese civil war, Khalil returned to Lebanon from the Netherlands in 1999 and began her conservation work after seeing a turtle laying eggs on the beach near her family’s seaside home. Since then, Mona rarely left her home and the beach she had spent years protecting. “Mona was like a symbol of hope, of life and of resistance in south Lebanon, and probably that’s one of the reasons she was killed,” says Rami Khashab, a Lebanese herpetologist who worked alongside Khalil. “They are trying to kill the hope of the Lebanese people.”
RT: @KavitaAlguMD For years Palestinians have told us that Israel is targeting children as an act of genocide. Now, a @UN commission agreed.
The weapons to commit these monstrous crimes are made in our communities and shipped to Israel with the full knowledge and support of our governments.
They are criminalizing their own citizens while shielding Israel from all accountability.
What will it take for our governments to stop?
You are all responsible forthis genocide and have the power to do something @AnitaAnandMP @MarkJCarney @YvetteCooperMP @POTUS @EmmanuelMacron @jnbarrot @kajakallas @GiorgiaMeloni @bundeskanzler @narendramodi.

Ahmed Wishah is the 12th Al Jazeera journalist killed in Gaza since October 2023. He was murdered in an Israeli strike on his home in Al-Bureij refugee camp, just two months after his brother and fellow Al Jazeera journalist, correspondent Mohammed Samir Wishah, was killed.

In #Gaza, ‘slaughter continues unabated’ while the world turns away
#Israel has escalated its airstrikes across the enclave in recent weeks, burning Palestinians alive as it makes a mockery of the ‘ceasefire.’

In Campaign to Seize More of Gaza, Israel Expands Attacks on Palestinians Near “Yellow Line”
"Where are we supposed to go? They might as well throw us into the sea and be done with us.”

#Israel has been steadily encroaching further into #Gaza, moving the “yellow line” that demarcates its area of control from 53% of the enclave since the start of the so-called ceasefire in October to well over 60%, in violation of the agreement. #Netanyahu recently ordered the army to take 70%.
Along certain parts of Gaza, #Israeli troops have placed yellow concrete blocks to delineate the new border. Their placement of the blocks further west into the Al-Tuffah neighborhood on Friday accompanied by gunfire, tanks, and copter attacks caused dozens of #Palestinians in the area to pack up their belongings and flee later that day.
