2 Children Injured in Drone Crash in Jordan
Israa Farhan Two children were injured in Jordan after an explosives-laden drone crashed in a residential neighborhood in Azraq, located in the Zarqa Governorate, according to an official military source. The drone, which fell on Wednesday, caused significant material damage and sparked immediate concern among residents. The Jordanian Armed Forces confirmed that a technical malfunction within the drone's operating system was the likely cause of the crash, based on initial assessments from military engineering experts. The explosion created a crater measuring 3.2 meters in diameter and 90 centimetres deep. Debris from the unmanned aerial vehicle (UAV) was found scattered up to 200 metres from the crash site. Fragments from the drone also struck nearby properties, shattering the front of one home. Emergency responders, including Civil Defense teams, military engineering units, and security forces, were quickly dispatched to the scene to treat the injured and begin a full investigation into the incident. The injured children were transported to a local hospital, and authorities are continuing to assess the scale of the damage and the circumstances surrounding the drone's presence in the residential area. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News China Launches Largest Ever Aircraft Carrier Sports Former Al Zamalek Player Ibrahim Shika Passes away after Long Battle with Cancer Lifestyle Get to Know 2025 Eid Al Adha Prayer Times in Egypt Business Fear & Greed Index Plummets to Lowest Level Ever Recorded amid Global Trade War Arts & Culture Zahi Hawass: Claims of Columns Beneath the Pyramid of Khafre Are Lies News Flights suspended at Port Sudan Airport after Drone Attacks Videos & Features Video: Trending Lifestyle TikToker Valeria Márquez Shot Dead during Live Stream News Shell Unveils Cost-Cutting, LNG Growth Plan Technology 50-Year Soviet Spacecraft 'Kosmos 482' Crashes into Indian Ocean News 3 Killed in Shooting Attack in Thailand

Escalating Israeli Airstrikes on Gaza Leave Dozens Dead, Injured, Including Displaced Civilians
Ahmed Emam The Civil Defense in Gaza has reported a sharp escalation in Israeli airstrikes across the besieged territory, with a series of violent attacks in recent hours claiming the lives of dozens and leaving many more injured. In a statement cited by Russia Today, the Civil Defense confirmed that densely populated areas sheltering displaced civilians have been heavily targeted. Among the most tragic incidents was a strike on the Yaffa School in northeastern Gaza City, which had been serving as a refuge for families fleeing the ongoing fighting. The attack resulted in the deaths of 10 individuals, whose bodies were recovered from the rubble. The neighborhoods of Zeitoun and Shuja'iyya in Gaza City also came under intense artillery bombardment and gunfire from Israeli military vehicles. Similar assaults were reported in the southwestern areas of Rafah, further exacerbating the plight of civilians trapped under siege conditions. In Khan Younis, located in the southern Gaza Strip, one Palestinian was killed and five others injured after an Israeli strike hit a tent sheltering displaced people near the Asdaa' Media City. Additional airstrikes in the nearby Bani Suheila region led to the death of another man and injuries to six others when a tent in the Al-Fajam neighborhood was targeted. Other neighborhoods, including Qizan Rashwan, Al-Manara, and Al-Salam, also suffered heavy shelling. The Civil Defense highlighted the desperate situation in eastern Gaza, where emergency teams received urgent pleas for help from civilians trapped beneath the debris of their homes on Al-Nakheel Street in the Al-Tuffah area. However, the teams were unable to reach the site, which has been designated a high-risk zone due to ongoing military operations. The Civil Defense called on the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) to intensify coordination with Israeli authorities to ensure humanitarian access and rescue operations for those still alive under the rubble. Meanwhile, medical sources confirmed that the death toll from Israeli strikes has risen to 12 Palestinians across various areas since dawn. The humanitarian situation continues to deteriorate rapidly amid relentless airstrikes and a severe shortage of medical supplies and aid. read more Gold prices rise, 21 Karat at EGP 3685 NATO's Role in Israeli-Palestinian Conflict US Expresses 'Strong Opposition' to New Turkish Military Operation in Syria Shoukry Meets Director-General of FAO Lavrov: confrontation bet. nuclear powers must be avoided News Iran Summons French Ambassador over Foreign Minister Remarks News Aboul Gheit Condemns Israeli Escalation in West Bank News Greek PM: Athens Plays Key Role in Improving Energy Security in Region News One Person Injured in Explosion at Ukrainian Embassy in Madrid News Egypt confirms denial of airspace access to US B-52 bombers News Ayat Khaddoura's Final Video Captures Bombardment of Beit Lahia Lifestyle Pistachio and Raspberry Cheesecake Domes Recipe News Australia Fines Telegram $600,000 Over Terrorism, Child Abuse Content Arts & Culture Nicole Kidman and Keith Urban's $4.7M LA Home Burglarized Videos & Features Bouchra Dahlab Crowned Miss Arab World 2025 ..

Video shows last moments for Gaza aid workers killed by Israel: Red Crescent - War on Gaza
A video recovered from the cellphone of an aid worker killed in Gaza alongside 14 other rescuers shows their final moments, according to the Palestine Red Crescent, with clearly marked ambulances and emergency lights flashing as Israeli forces unleash heavy gunfire. The aid worker was among 15 humanitarian personnel who were killed on March 23 execution-style in an attack by Israeli upation four days after Tel Aviv resumed its genocidal war on the strip on 18 March, according to the United Nations and the Palestine Red Crescent Society (PRCS). The Israeli milarmyitary has claimed its soldiers "did not randomly attack" any ambulances, insisting they fired on "terrorists" approaching them in "suspicious vehicles" without headlights or emergency signals. The video completely contradicts the Israeli army claims, showing ambulances travelling with their headlights and emergency lights clearly flashing. The video, filmed from inside a moving vehicle, captures a red firetruck and ambulances driving through the night. The ambulances are clearly marked, and the medics are wearing reflective gear. The vehicles stop beside another on the roadside, and two uniformed men exit. Moments later, intense gunfire by Israeli forces erupts. In the video, the voices of two medics are heard -- one saying, "the vehicle, the vehicle," and another responding: "It seems to be an accident." Seconds later, a volley of Israeli gunfire targeting the vehicles breaks out, and the screen goes black. ⚡️BREAKING: Video footage from the cellphone of a Palestinian paramedic, later found in a mass grave with 14 other aid workers killed by Israel in Gaza, shows their final moments and disproves Israel's account. New footage shows aid workers in Gaza killed under heavy gunfire… — Suppressed News. (@SuppressedNws) April 5, 2025 PRCS vice-president Marwan Jilani told a press conference at the United Nations headquarters in New York that the video was recovered from the body of one of the deceased aid workers. Those killed included eight PRCS staff, six members of the Gaza civil defence agency and one employee of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees, the UNRWA. Palestinian Civil Defense spokesperson Mahmoud Basal confirmed that PRCS and Civil Defense workers were executed at point-blank range by Israeli forces during a coordinated rescue mission. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA), Civil Defense, and Red Crescent crews later exhumed a mass grave where the bodies were found, many with zip-tied hands and signs of field execution. "One had his clothes removed, another was beheaded," Basal reported. Fear and prayers The OCHA has said Israeli forces targeted the first team at dawn on that day. In the hours that followed, additional rescue and aid teams searching for their colleagues were also struck in a series of successive attacks. According to the PRCS, the convoy had been dispatched in response to emergency calls from civilians trapped under Israeli bombardment in Rafah. In the video, a medic recording the scene can be heard reciting the declaration of faith, the shahada, which Muslims traditionally say in the face of death. "There is no God but God, Mohammed is his messenger," he says several times, his voice trembling with fear as intense gunfire continues in the background. He is also heard saying: "Forgive us guys, forgive me mother because I chose this way, the way of helping people". He then says, "accept my martyrdom, God, and forgive me." Just before the footage ends, he is heard saying, "The Jews are coming, the Jews are coming," referring to Israeli soldiers. Palestinians and Arabs alike often say Jews when they are, in fact, referring to Israelis. The killing of the aid workers has sparked international condemnation. Standing at the site of the massacre during a 30 March search mission, Jonathan Whittall, head of the OCHA in the Palestinian territories, described how "the ambulances were hit one by one as they advanced, as they entered into Rafah." The PRCS has condemned the attack as a war crime under international humanitarian law, noting that the bodies 'were recovered with difficulty as they were buried in the sand, with some showing signs of decomposition. Since 7 October 2023, Osrael has killed at least 408 aid workers, including at least 280 UNRWA staff and 34 PRCS staff, according to an Amnesty International report investigating Israeli killings of paramedics and rescue workers in the Palestinian territory. Since resuming its genocidal war on Gaza on March 18, the Israeli army has killed over 1000 Palestinians, including at least 322 children, according to an update from the Palestinian Health Ministry on Tuesday. The ministry added that nearly 2,400 others were injured during the same period. The total number of Palestinians killed by Israelsince the war began on 7 October 2023 has now reached 50,423, and the injured have reached 114,638, with the majority being women and children. *This story was edited by Ahram Online.
