🇰🇷 ⚠️ 🇰🇵 South Korean forces fired warning shots after North Korean soldiers briefly crossed the Military Demarcation Line of #Korea on Sunday.

An official from the Joint Chiefs of Staff was quoted as saying "It is estimated that the North Korean military, which was working with tools such as picks, got lost and crossed the military demarcation line,” adding that the soldiers “immediately climbed north of the military demarcation line when the warning fire was made.”

No other activity was reported after the soldiers returned over the border.

The incident comes amid increased tensions in recent days, as #NorthKorea continues to launch trash and feces filled balloons into #SouthKorea, who has resumed propaganda and K-pop loudspeaker broadcasts along the border in response. Via theatlasnews.co @AtlasNewsTelegram

🇸🇩 Thousands Flee for Safety from El-Fasher, #Sudan: https://theatlasnews.co/latest/2024/06/14/thousands-flee-for-safety-from-el-fasher-sudan/ Thousands of civilians are reportedly leaving the Sudanese city of #ElFasher, in the North #Darfur state, as combat…
#Sudan’s Rapid Support Forces (#RSF) launched a major attack on el-Fasher in North Darfur a day after the UN Security Council demanded the militia halt its weeks-long siege of the city of 1.8 million people reports Al Jazeera.

Sudan’s Armed Forces (#SAF) “aborted the attack and inflicted huge losses” with “hundreds” of dead and wounded in the failed RSF assault, it said in a statement.

Among those killed was a senior RSF commander, Ali Yagoub Gibril, and the attackers “fled from the battlefield”, it added. Images of the now deceased Yagoub have surfaced online after reportedly an ambush by SAF/JPA coalition forces.

No response from RSF was immediately available, reported AJ.

🇮🇱 🇵🇸 The #IDF has announced there is to be a limited “tactical pause of military activity” for their operations surrounding a specific road within #Gaza, #Palestine. The pause, they said, is in order to facilitate the further entry of aid into Gaza.

The IDF announced the daily pause will occur from 08:00 to 19:00 local time each day, after having begun on Saturday. This pause is to occur solely along a vital roadway, the Salah al-Din Road, which begins at the Kerem Shalom crossing, a border crossing between Israel and Gaza, before continuing northwards to Khan Younis. The area under the pause ends at the European Hospital by Khan Younis.

The roadway is important in the distribution of aid in the surrounding region. This is particularly important as Khan Younis, and much of the surrounding area, has recently been designated as Gaza’s new ‘safe zone’ after #Israel’s offensive began upon #Rafah last month.

Importantly, the IDF clarified that this pause is not a ceasefire, and will not at all effect their operations in Rafah, in the southern Gaza Strip. On Saturday, during these operations, eight IDF soldiers were killed after an ambush from Hamas. Three more soldiers were killed in fighting on Sunday.

The pauses come as continual reports surface from Gaza that virtually all of the population of over 2 million is suffering from ‘catastrophic’ levels of hunger and acute food insecurity, with a number of areas reported to have ‘famine-like’ conditions.

Data shows that the average amount of trucks entering Gaza per day, excluding fuel trucks was 97. This is a significant drop from April, when an average of 169 trucks were entering Gaza per day, which itself was a rise from March, when 139 trucks entered per day.

The drop in trucks is a direct consequence from the Israeli seizure of the Rafah crossing on May 7th. The Rafah crossing is a border crossing between Gaza and Egypt. It was the only crossing point into Gaza not controlled by Israel, and had been the primary entry point of aid into Gaza. Since its seizure by Israeli forces, the Rafah crossing has been closed, and the remainder of crossings controlled by Israel have failed to make up the difference.

According to Israeli media, several prominent government figures are not only opposed to the pause, but weren’t even told of it before it was enacted.

Neither Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu nor Minister of Defence Yoav Gallant, the two remaining members with voting power in Israel’s ‘War Cabinet’, were told of the pause by the IDF beforehand. Netanyahu reportedly referred to the pause as “unacceptable.” Israeli National Security Minister, Itamar Ben Gvir, said whoever made the decision was a “fool,” who was “evil.”

🇮🇱 ⚠️ #Israel's War Cabinet Dissolved:

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu has announced the end of his ‘War Cabinet’. He stated that the cabinet was being disbanded due to the withdrawal of the former Minister of Defense and opposition politician Benny Gantz.

Following Gantz’ resignation, Netanyahu and Israeli Minister of Defense Yoav Gallant were the only two remaining members with voting powers. Both Netanyahu and Gallant are members of the Likud party, making them completely dominant within the cabinet.

The effect that the disbandment of the cabinet will have on Israel’s decision-making process in the war is not immediately clear.

Notably, the disbandment follows National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir’s request to join the cabinet. Via theatlasnews.co @AtlasNewsTelegram
