1/ REPORT: Smoke was seen bursting from the head of a Palestinian victim of an Israeli attack in Beit Lahia, in northern Gaza today. Witnesses likened it to the release of steam from a pressured engine — the latest in a horrifying pattern linked to new Israeli weaponry.🧵
2/
➤ Journalist Hossam Shabat: “First responders and doctors report new weapons that cause bodies to evaporate on the scene — something never seen before.” Image
3/
 ➤ Director of the Ministry of Health in Gaza, Dr. Al-Bursh: “We urgently need an international investigation committee to uncover what Israel is doing to us. These bombs have terrifying sounds, and when a person gets within 200-300 meters of them, they vaporize.”
4/ Drop Site News asked Antony Loewenstein (@antloewenstein), author of the global best-seller on Israel’s weapons and surveillance tech, for his thoughts on these videos. Image
5/ He states: “Israel has been testing a suite of new weapons and surveillance tech in Gaza, Lebanon, and beyond since October 7, 2023, and there’s a desperate need to fully investigate. Palestinian and Lebanese civilians are the primary targets. Without an arms embargo against Israel, the Israeli arms industry will keep selling these ‘battle-tested’ weapons to nations around the world.”
6/ Antony hosts Drop Site’s first investigative series The Palestine Laboratory Podcast, where he explores how Israel uses Palestinian territories to develop occupation-enforcing weapons tech.

It’s 11:30 p.m. in Gaza, where Israel continued the mass killing of children today, amid a new forced displacement order for the Shejaia suburb of eastern Gaza City. Here are some of the other key updates:

➤ At least six people were killed overnight in Israeli airstrikes across Gaza: one in Nuseirat, two in Maghazi, and three in Rafah.

➤ Six members of the same family, including children, were killed in the Nuseirat refugee camp today.

➤ Six more Palestinians were killed in strikes on Bureij and Maghazi refugee camps in central Gaza.

➤ Residents in the besieged towns of Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoon in northern Gaza told Reuters that Israeli forces have destroyed hundreds of homes amid ongoing heavy attacks.

➤ Drop Site News has been reporting on Israel’s ongoing assault on Kamal Adwan Hospital, one of the last three semi-operational facilities in the north, where the hospital director and his two daughters were injured in an Israeli drone strike last night.

THREAD:

Massive protests by Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI) supporters are underway, following jailed former Prime Minister Imran Khan’s call for a nationwide movement. Protests are converging on Islamabad, with authorities locking down the capital using shipping containers and imposing Section 144, barring public gatherings for two months. Roads, internet, and railways connecting major cities like Lahore, Rawalpindi, and Faisalabad are heavily restricted. Educational institutions and services have also been shut down.

Amid these crackdowns, reports indicate that around 4,000 PTI supporters have already been arrested. Protests are unfolding not only in Pakistan but across the globe. Drop Site News is tracking the scenes from Pakistan and beyond. 🔽🧵

1/5
 On December 2, 2023, 13-year-old Leyan Abu Al-Atta was injured in an Israeli airstrike in Deir el-Balah, Gaza, losing her leg. She’s now in the U.S. seeking medical treatment with @healPalestine_. Her story is the focus of All That Remains, a new documentary from @AJFaultLines.
2/5
 The documentary also features Dr. Ghassan Abu-Sittah, a British-Palestinian surgeon, who says he performed more amputations in 43 days in Gaza than in his entire 20-year career as a surgeon. In the clip here he talks about the importance of continuing to “plan for tomorrow. Because genocide is about there not being a tomorrow. There is a tomorrow for these children.”
3/5
Save the Children reports: Every day, 10 children lose one or both legs, with operations and amputations conducted with little or no anaesthesia due to Israel’s continuing siege.

Experts believe Gaza may have the largest cohort of child amputees in modern war history relative to its population.

🚨BREAKING: Palestinian journalist Hossam Shabat, an Al Jazeera correspondent who has been reporting from northern Gaza throughout Israel’s brutal siege and starvation campaign for the last 45 days, has been injured in an airstrike on Gaza City.

The Israeli army had previously made baseless allegations accusing six Al Jazeera Arabic correspondents, including Shabat, of being “operatives” for Hamas’s armed wing.

UNRWA reports that approximately 10% of Gaza’s journalists have been killed since the war began, with many targeted and killed while actively reporting. Israel continues to block international reporters from accessing Gaza.
Shabat had shared this statement last month on Israel’s unfounded claims:
Earlier today, Shabat was reporting on the dire conditions in makeshift tents flooded by rain.

🚨BREAKING: Two bakeries in Deir El Balah, central Gaza, serving over 700,000 Palestinians, have announced they will not be supplying bread tomorrow due to a flour shortage.

A Drop Site source in central Gaza, also a member of Deir El Balah’s Internally Displaced Civilians Association, tells us the humanitarian situation in southern Gaza “is on the verge of becoming catastrophic.” Here’s why:

➤ The World Food Program is considering suspending operations in Gaza, unable to guarantee the safe entry of aid trucks. Earlier today, 100 of 140 trucks were stolen in Rafah by armed gangs.

➤ Israeli authorities have rejected requests to route supplies through the safer Netzarim checkpoint, continuing to direct aid trucks through the more dangerous Kerem Shalom crossing, where looting is rampant.

➤ Earlier today, Israeli forces targeted and killed six civilian security officers in Khan Younis, who were working to facilitate aid entry into central Gaza’s warehouses.

➤ Heavy rain and flash floods are expected tonight and tomorrow, threatening over 1 million displaced people in tents across central Gaza.

➤ Our source stresses, with famine imminent, urgent action is needed to pressure Israeli authorities to secure aid trucks and allow supplies through the Netzarim checkpoint “before it’s too late.”Image
Helpful Context:

Journalist and Drop Site contributor @AbubakerAbedW explained to @ryangrim last week that Israel has armed certain gangs in Gaza, enabling them to hijack aid shipments and resell the stolen supplies at exorbitant prices. These gangs, he reported, operate under the protection of Israeli quadcopters.

Abed emphasized that Israel has systematically targeted and killed civilian local security forces responsible for safeguarding aid. However, he noted, these officers “are not Hamas.” By eliminating them and enabling gangs to create chaos, Israel shifts blame for aid disruptions onto the resulting disorder. In reality, it is Israel’s actions that are directly undermining aid distribution efforts.
🚨 New updates from Drop Site’s sources in Gaza indicate:

• The WFP is expected to issue a statement soon regarding the cessation of its vital operations in Gaza.

• This comes after armed gangs today attempted to hijack nearly 100 of the 140 aid trucks the WFP was delivering today via the Karm Abu Salim (Kerem Shalom) crossing.

• Locals clashed with the armed gangs, who were carrying M16s, and managed to retrieve some of the stolen trucks, which were returned to the WFP.

• Despite multiple alerts to COGAT about armed gangs operating in Karm Abu Salim and the eastern militarized border zone, they have rejected local proposals to reroute aid through the safer Nizarim checkpoint.

• As a result of today’s clashes, two bakeries in the Central Governorate have announced they will be unable to provide bread tomorrow for 700,000 people.
