Far-right Israeli minister calls for the arrest of anyone watching Al Jazeera
Far-right Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir has once again demanded a crackdown on Al Jazeera's presence in Israel, claiming the network poses a 'threat' to national security. Speaking in a brief televised statement, carried live by Al Jazeera Arabic and Al Jazeera Mubasher, Ben-Gvir also urged police to take action against individuals found watching the channel inside the country. His remarks come weeks after Israel formally banned Al Jazeera's journalists and staff from operating within its borders in early May 2024. The Palestinian Authority imposed a similar ban months earlier, in January, effectively blocking the network's coverage from the occupied West Bank.

20 more Palestinians killed by Israel near aid points
Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that 20 people have been killed and more than 124 injured this morning while waiting for aid near the so-called Netzarim Corridor, south of Gaza City. It is the latest in a number of shootings that have killed around 150 people and wounded hundreds since the rollout of a new food distribution system, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Israel and the US say the new system is designed to circumvent Hamas, but it has been rejected by the UN and major aid groups.

Palestinians say Israeli forces have repeatedly fired toward crowds heading to the food centres since they opened last month. In previous instances, the Israeli military has said it fired warning shots at people who approached its forces near the centres, which are in military zones off limits to independent media. The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, the Israeli and US supported private contractor running the sites, says there has been no violence in or around the centres themselves. Meanwhile, an Israeli strike on homes in Jabalia al-Balad, also this morning, has killed nine Palestinians according to one of the organisation's sources at al-Shifa Hospital. At least three Palestinians from the same family have also been killed in an Israeli attack on a tent housing displaced people near the city of Khan Younis according to a separate source.
