Israel recovers bodies of three Gaza captives as it kills 33 Palestinians
Agencies Tel Aviv/Gaza Israeli military said it recovered the bodies of three captives held in the Gaza Strip since Hamas's 2023 attack, as its bombardment and attacks in the besieged enclave have killed more than 30 Palestinians, according to hospital officials. The military on Sunday said the bodies of Ofra Keidar, Yonatan Samerano, and soldier Shay Levinson were recovered from Gaza 'in a special operation'. Samerano's father had announced earlier on Sunday that his 21-year-old son's body, which was taken into Gaza after he was murdered on October 7, 2023, had been recovered by the Israeli army. Keidar, a 71-year-old mother of three, was also killed on the day, while 19-year-old tank commander Levinson 'on the morning of October 7 fell in combat', a statement from the military said. More than 1,100 people were killed and about 250 taken captive during the Hamas-led attack on southern Israel, according to Israeli authorities. At least 50 of those captives remain in Gaza, with 20 reportedly still alive, Israeli media say. Hamas has repeatedly said it is ready to release all Israeli captives in exchange for a permanent end to the war on Gaza, the complete withdrawal of Israeli troops from the enclave, and the release of all Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails. But Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected the terms and continued his war on the Strip, which has killed about 56,000 Palestinians, most of them women and children – a brutal offensive that the United Nations, most governments, and rights groups call a genocide. More recently, starving Palestinians desperate for food and other essential items are being shot, with more than 400 people killed and nearly 2,000 wounded since the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF), a shadowy group backed by the United States and Israel, began distributing aid last month. Israeli forces killed at least 33 Palestinians since dawn on Sunday, six of them while seeking aid, hospital sources in Gaza told Al Jazeera. Gaza's Ministry of Health said at least 51 Palestinians were killed in the last 24 hours. Since March 18, when Israel broke a fragile two-month ceasefire and launched a massive assault on Gaza, at least 5,647 Palestinians have been killed and 19,201 wounded, according to the ministry. An Al Jazeera correspondent in Gaza on Sunday said at least six people were killed overnight during an Israel-imposed internet blackout that lasted five hours and was accompanied by heavy Israeli artillery firing targeting areas in eastern and central Gaza. Three of them were killed after a rocket hit a tent housing displaced Palestinians in al-Mawasi to the west of Khan Younis city. A man and his wife were killed in another strike targeting an apartment to the north of Nuseirat. Medical services in Gaza say ambulances have completely stopped operating in Gaza City due to Israel's ban on fuel entering the enclave. The Israeli blockade of food and medicines has pushed its entire population of more than two million to the brink of starvation. On Sunday, Pope Leo XIV called on the world not to forget the humanitarian crisis in Gaza as the war in the Middle East broadened with overnight US strikes on Iran. 'In this context that includes Israel and Palestine, there is a risk that the daily suffering of peoples is forgotten, in particular in Gaza and other territories, where there is an ever greater urgency for adequate humanitarian aid,' the pope said.

Key players tangle at UNSC at ‘perilous turn' of US-Israel-Iran conflict
The United Nations Security Council has convened an emergency session following US-led strikes on Iranian nuclear sites, prompting sharp rebukes from several member states and renewed calls for a ceasefire in the Middle East, as allies Israel and the US lauded the attack. Russia, China and Pakistan have proposed a resolution demanding an 'immediate and unconditional ceasefire', according to diplomats familiar with the draft circulated on Sunday. While the proposal does not explicitly name the United States or Israel, it condemns the attacks on Iranian nuclear facilities. A vote has not yet been scheduled. To pass, the resolution requires the backing of at least nine members and no vetoes from the five permanent members — the US, UK, France, Russia and China, which makes it a non-starter since the US will not censure itself. Speaking to the Council, UN Secretary-General Antonio Guterres warned the region stood 'on the brink of a deadly downward spiral.' 'The bombing of Iranian nuclear facilities by the United States marks a perilous turn in a region that is already reeling,' Guterres said. 'We now risk descending into a rathole of retaliation after retaliation. We must act – immediately and decisively – to halt the fighting and return to serious, sustained negotiations on the Iran nuclear programme.' Acting US ambassador Dorothy Shea defended the military action, stating that Washington had moved to dismantle Iran's enrichment capacity in order to protect both its citizens and allies. 'The time finally came for the United States, in defence of its ally and our own interests, to act decisively,' Shea told the chamber. 'Iran should not escalate… any Iranian attack, direct or indirect, against Americans or American bases will be met with devastating retaliation.' Iran's Ambassador Ali Bahreini said the Israeli and US attacks on Iran did not come about 'in a vacuum', adding that they are the result of 'politically motivated actions' of the US and its European partners. He said the US 'decided to destroy diplomacy' and pointedly made it clear that the Iranian military will decide on the 'timing, nature and scale' of its response. Meanwhile, Israel's UN envoy Danny Danon said the attacks had made the world 'a safer place', rejecting calls for condemnation. 'That's for the Iranian people to decide, not for us,' he said when asked whether Israel supported regime change in Tehran China's ambassador Fu Cong condemned the US strikes and urged restraint. 'We call for an immediate ceasefire,' he said. 'China is deeply concerned about the risk of the situation getting out of control.' Russia's UN envoy Vasily Nebenzya described the attacks as yet another sign of Washington's disregard for global norms. 'The US has opened a Pandora's box,' he said. 'No one knows what catastrophe or suffering will follow.' Pakistan's ambassador Asim Iftikhar Ahmad also condemned the US bombing, calling it deeply troubling. 'The sharp rise in tensions and violence as a result of Israeli aggression and unlawful actions is profoundly disturbing,' he said. 'Pakistan stands in solidarity with the government and brotherly people of Iran during this challenging time.' This came the day after Pakistan suggested US President Donald Trump be nominated for the Nobel Peace Prize. Trump's announcement that American forces had 'obliterated' Iran's key nuclear sites marked the most significant Western military action against Tehran since the 1979 revolution. The head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA), Rafael Grossi, told the Council that while the scale of underground damage remains unclear, impact craters were visible at the Fordow enrichment site. The entrances to tunnels at Isfahan appeared to have been struck, while Natanz — long a target of Israeli sabotage — had been hit again. Iran has castigated Grossi for being complicit in paving the way for Israel and the US to attack it. The United Nations nuclear watchdog's Board of Governors approved a resolution declaring Iran was not complying with its commitment to international nuclear safeguards the day before Israel launched its initial attack on June 13.
