Gantz: Rocket barrage from Rafah proves need for Israel’s military operation there

Gantz: Rocket barrage from Rafah proves need for Israel’s military operation there

This afternoon’s rocket barrage from the southern Gaza city of Rafah shows why Israel needs to continue its military operation there, National Unity chairman Benny Gantz says during a tour of Gaza border communities.

( @)

“The rockets shot from Rafah today prove that the IDF must operate in every place Hamas still operates from, and as such, the IDF will continue to operate wherever necessary,” Gantz, a member of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s war cabinet, declares at the Urim IDF base.

( @)

The world must know: Those who still hold our hostages captive, shoot at our cities and continue to propagate terror are responsible for the situation,” he adds. “Terrorist Hamas are war criminals, and we intend on making them pay for their crimes – whether sooner or later.”

( @)

Multiple interceptions by the Iron Dome air defense system were seen over central Israel following a rocket barrage launched from the Gaza Strip, with sirens sounding in Herzliya, Kfar Shmaryahu, Ramat Hasharon, Tel Aviv, Petah Tikva, and several smaller communities.

The rocket barrage fired by the Hamas terror group at central Israel was apparently launched from the Rafah area in the southern Gaza Strip, images posted to social media showed.

In a significant but somewhat ambiguous sharpening of its treatment of genocide claims against Israel, the International Court of Justice ordered Israel on Friday to halt military operations in Rafah that would risk the destruction of the civilian population sheltering there.

 landslide in Papua New Guinea, according to a local United Nations official. The landslide hit a rural region of the island nation early Friday, but search-and-rescue efforts have been hampered by difficulty in reaching the disaster site and by the hazard that the shifting ground continues to pose.

This danger has prompted many survivors to abandon their homes, according to Serhan Aktoprak, the chief of mission at the International Organization for Migration’s office in Papua New Guinea, who estimated that over 250 houses were abandoned and that roughly 1,250 people were displaced.

The region, in Enga Province, is densely populated, according to local officials, and has a young population. The authorities fear that many of the fatalities will be children under 15.The local government secured food and water for around 600 people, Mr. Aktoprak said, and a humanitarian convoy of local officials and members of the International Organization for Migration headed to the region on Sunday. An aid convoy had gotten through on Saturday

As of Sunday afternoon, land was still sliding, rocks were falling and the soil was cracking from increased pressure and running groundwater. No earth-moving equipment had arrived, and people were searching for bodies using tools like spades and pitchforks, Mr. Aktoprak said.

Gantz submits proposal for resolution on state commission of inquiry into Oct. 7, war

National Unity leader and war cabinet minister Benny Gantz submits a proposal to the cabinet secretariat for a government resolution to establish a state commission of inquiry into the events surrounding the October 7 Hamas invasion and massacre and the subsequent, ongoing war in Gaza.

( @)

The commission, if approved, would examine political, military, and intelligence decision-making before, during and after the October 7 atrocities.

( @)

Critically, against the background of the intense scrutiny of Israel’s conduct of the war by the International Criminal Court and the International Court of Justice, the commission would also examine whether Israel has met its obligations under

( @)

 international law in managing the war, which could head off the ICC prosecutor’s request for arrest warrants against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Defense Minister Yoav Gallant.All the event that preceded the war will be investigated within the framework of the state commission of inquiry — decision making in the political and military echelons, and actions during the time of war itself,” National Unity says in a statement to the press.

( @)

The commission would examine security and intelligence agencies as well as government ministries in terms of their policy and decision-making processes regarding protecting the border region with Gaza before the war, and how they responded to the events on October 7 and during the ensuing war.

( @)

The move comes amid high tensions between Gantz and Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu over management of the war and threats by Gantz to quit the government if Netanyahu does not set out a postwar plan for Gaza by June 8.

The attack was the latest in a sustained bombing campaign against the city that has made life increasingly difficult and dangerous for civilians.
( @)

Oleh Syniehubov, the head of the Kharkiv regional military administration, added that another airstrike on Saturday, in the center of Kharkiv, Ukraine’s second-largest city, injured at least 14 people.

“For the entire day, Kharkiv has been under Russian terrorist strikes. The air raid in the Kharkiv region has been ongoing for more than 12 hours,” President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on social media.

( @)

Saturday’s attack, Mr. Zelensky added, underscored Ukraine’s recent calls on Western allies to provide it with air defense systems and other weapons capable of shooting down Russian missiles and the planes that launch the bombs. “If Ukraine had sufficient air defenses systems and modern combat aircraft, Russian strikes like this one would have been impossible,” he said.Videos and photos posted online by Ukrainian officials showed large plumes of black smoke billowing from the superstore, as firefighters scrambled to extinguish a blaze that the authorities said extended over 10,000 square meters.

Kharkiv, currently home to 1.3 million people and located just 25 miles from the Russian border, has been increasingly targeted by Russian airstrikes in recent months, in what Ukrainian officials and military experts say is a tactic intended to intimidate residents and create panic.
