📃 Israel has blocked Al-Mayadeen, including in the West Bank

Al-Mayadeen, a worldwide Lebanese TV network created by former Al-Jazeera staff, has been banned for “harming” Israel's security. Israeli Minister Shlomo Karhi announced: “I signed the first order to block the internet sites of Al-Mayadeen”, as reported by Middle East Eye.

The news network's offices in the occupied West Bank will be shut down, its equipment confiscated, and its reporters prohibited. The director of the office in Bethlehem, Nasser al-Laham, stated:

“We are authorized and have a licence from the Palestinian ministry of telecom. The decision to ban broadcasting and close down offices and production companies is undoubtedly a military decision [...] At the moment we are waiting for instructions from the Palestinian Authority. I do not have any expectations because we are under military rule.”

📹 Footage by Al-Jazeera shows the moment an Israeli tank was hit with an RPG in Gaza city, forcing the column to retreat.

Evidently, the tank is very well armoured and the attack wasn't enough to destroy it but resulted in the delay of the Israeli aggression in the area.

📹 The Israeli army reported that its Unit 669, air-transported 60 critically injured soldiers from Gaza since the ground invasion started.

📝 “Hezbollah will enter the war if...”

The group only ever officially talked about it once, saying the following:

1- We joined the war on 8-October through a low-intensity battle that's increasing according to the situation in Lebanon and Gaza.

2- Hezbollah will not allow the destruction of Hamas (leadership and structure)

It neither stalled nor claimed a timing to join a battle it's already in. Whoever underestimates the situation in south Lebanon simply doesn't know what's happening there.

📰 The Israeli army published footage from Al-Rantisi children hospital, after occupying it earlier this week.

The photos included the hospital's underground ventilation and electricity section, something common in all hospitals.

However notably, the Israeli army claims that Israeli women and children were held hostage in this area, judging by the diapers and milk bottles they found in a CHILDREN'S hospital.

Additionally, some firearms and grenades were found, from the local resistance in the area that attempted to defend against the Israeli army advance.

The footage included a visit to the Israeli army spox to the hospital.

🤰Israel assesses that a pregnant Israeli woman held hostage in Gaza has given birth in captivity.

This is the first time to happen to an Israeli, not a Palestinian.

Since 2003 until 2008, there were four cases of Palestinian women giving birth in prison in extremely difficult conditions.

This includes a Gazan woman in her early forties in January 2008, who was held in prison and stayed with her new born baby.

A couple other cases happened years after, and notably in 2021.
