YOU CAN'T STEAL THEIR JOY ✨

The raid has been going on for about 15 or 16 hours now and there seems to be no letup in sight. We know that at least three Palestinian residents of the camp have been injured, and at least one person has been killed by an Israeli sniper’s bullets. We’ve been hearing the sound of drones overhead for hours – and multiple large, loud explosions. Sustained small-arms fire, indicative of active firefights, is ongoing. The Israeli military has at least 40 military vehicles, with potentially dozens of Israeli soldiers fighting against Palestinian armed resistance fighters who are using small arms as well as explosives. We also know that the Israelis have taken in new military bulldozers that are capable of driving directly through houses – and that’s what they’ve been doing. Dozens of homes are destroyed and demolished. Israeli soldiers have been carrying out raids in homes, carrying out on-site interrogations. This is likely to carry on for several hours. The situation remains very dangerous inside the camp.

Several killed in Israel raid on West Bank as US, EU sanction more settlers

Violence erupted during an Israeli army raid at the Nur Shams refugee camp in the city of Tulkarem.

At least five Palestinians, including a teenager, have been killed during an Israeli military raid in the occupied West Bank city of Tulkarem.

The escalating violence on Friday came as the United States and the European Union imposed more sanctions targeting hardliner Israeli settlers engaged in violence against Palestinians in the occupied territory.

A 16-year-old who was shot with live fire by Israeli forces was among those killed, Palestinian health officials said. The boy – identified as Qais Fathi Nasrallah – arrived at the hospital in Tulkarem after already succumbing to his wounds.

Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi, reporting from Tulkarem, said the Israeli military went into the Nur Shams refugee camp late on Thursday night in an hours-long operation that stretched into Friday.

He said armed clashes carried on between the military and Palestinian resistance fighters, during which people were killed.

“One of them was the leader of the Tulkarem resistance brigade, the battalion of about 50 men strong that is based in Tulkarem, a man named Mohammed Jaber,” Basravi said, adding that Jaber has been targeted in the past, and his brother was killed in December.

“This very dramatic escalation of events in the occupied West Bank in this ongoing raid seemed to have been successful in targeting Mohammed Jaber,” he added.

During the raid “dozens of homes were destroyed and demolished”, Al Jazeera’s correspondent said.

“Israeli soldiers have been carrying out raids in homes, carrying out on-site interrogations … Locals describe the mayhem being carried out by the Israeli military as the worst destruction of infrastructure they’ve seen in the West Bank since the destruction of the Jenin refugee camp during the second Intifada in the early 2000s.”

The West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, has seen a surge in violence in the past year, particularly since Israel’s war on Gaza erupted in October.

At least 468 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli forces or settlers across the West Bank since October 7, according to official Palestinian sources.

In Gaza, Israel’s war has killed 34,000 Palestinians and wounded over 76,800 more.

US, EU sanctions on settlers

Meanwhile on Friday, the US and EU imposed more sanctions on Israeli settlers engaged in violence against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank.

The EU said that the European Council slapped sanctions on four “extremist” Israeli settlers and two entities over “serious human rights abuses against Palestinians”.

The EU put two “radical” organisations – Lehava and the Hilltop Youth – on its asset freeze and visa ban blacklist for their attacks on Palestinians.

It also included Hilltop Youth leaders Meir Ettinger and Elisha Yered, along with settlers Neria Ben Pazi and Yinon Levi.

It said abuses included “torture and other cruel, inhuman or degrading treatment or punishment” and “the violation of right to property and to private and family life of Palestinians in the West Bank”.

Separately, the US said it was adding Ben-Zion Gopstein, the founder and leader of Lehava, to its own blacklist.

Washington also imposed sanctions on two groups involved in raising tens of thousands of dollars for settlers Yinon Levi and David Chai Chasdai, who were targeted in its earlier sanctions, the Treasury Department announced in a statement.

Washington had previously sanctioned five settlers and two unauthorised outposts in the West Bank in two rounds of sanctions.

One entity, Mount Hebron Fund, launched an online fundraising campaign that raised $140,000 for Levi, the Treasury said, after he was sanctioned on February 1 for leading a group of settlers that assaulted Palestinian and Bedouin civilians, burned their fields and destroyed their property.

It said the second entity, Shlom Asiraich, raised $31,000 on a crowdfunding website for Chasdai, who the US says initiated and led a riot that included setting vehicles and buildings on fire and causing damage to property in Huwara, resulting in the death of a Palestinian civilian.

“Such acts by these organisations undermine the peace, security, and stability of the West Bank. We will continue to use our tools to hold those responsible accountable,” Deputy Secretary of the Treasury Wally Adeyemo said.

Palestinian President Abbas says only US can stop Rafah invasion

The Palestinian leader, who is in the Saudi capital to attend the World Economic Forum, said he expects an assault in Gaza’s southern city in the coming days. More than 1.4 million people are crammed in Rafah. Considering such population density, human rights groups and UN agencies have repeatedly warned that any military operation there would cause a humanitarian disaster. An Israeli ground invasion of Rafah would force most of the Palestinian population to flee Gaza, says Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas. Abbas told a special meeting of the World Economic Forum in Riyadh that about 1.5 million Palestinians are sheltering in Rafah and only a “small strike” would force those people to flee. “The biggest catastrophe in the Palestinian people’s history would then happen,” he said. “We call on the United States of America to ask Israel to not carry on the Rafah attack. America is the only country able to prevent Israel from committing this crime.” Abbas reiterated he rejects the displacement of Palestinians into Jordan and Egypt, and said he’s concerned once Israel completes its operation in Gaza, it will attempt to force the Palestinian population out of the occupied West Bank and into Jordan.

Al-Quds Hospital has run out of fuel and shut down its key operations on Wednesday.

An overnight Israeli bombardment on Jabalia refugee camp in the north and Sabra in western Gaza has killed dozens, based on reports from Al Jazeera Arabic and Palestinian news agency Wafa.

A total of 106 aid trucks and ambulances entered Gaza through the Rafah crossing on Wednesday, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PCRS). The organisation has said that the supply still does not meet the enclave’s needs.

A Palestinian medical source told Al Jazeera early on Thursday that in the last 24 hours, the Indonesian Hospital in northern Gaza has recorded at least 65 deaths and more than 100 injuries from the continuing Israeli bombardment. A huge blast has been reported near al-Shifa Hospital in the early hours of Thursday, according to Reuters.

On Wednesday night, a Palestinian man was fatally shot through the heart by Israeli forces in Tabaka village of Hebron, according to Al Jazeera correspondent Zein Basravi.

Israeli forces used four Israeli bulldozers to destroy streets in Jenin, Wafa reported early on Thursday.

Iranian port spared from US sanctions in rare cooperation

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=OrrFPqSQkCc

Al Jazeera English 6.20.2020

The top US military commander in the Middle East has called Iran "the greatest threat to regional stability". The two countries were on the brink of all-out conflict just five months ago. But behind the scenes, they have continued to cooperate when it comes to one strategic port. Al Jazeera's Zein Basravi reports from Tehran, Iran.

[Got to grab positive news when it’s there. 

I think that there is a common misunderstanding among people in this world. That others that don’t believe in a particular ‘religious practice’ don't revere what G-d has made. And that in our fever to have the world be ‘right’ again, because so much of it is ‘wrong’, we become too ready to destroy in hatred, what in its deepest form, is that which we do not ourselves understand.]

Is Iranian saffron sanction-proof? | Iran News

The reimposition of US sanctions on Iranian oil exports is threatening numerous elements of Iranian society.

However the saffron-exporting sector believes it’s nearly sanction-proof and a few suppose the sanctions might have even been good for enterprise.

At a convention of trade specialists hosted by the College of Torbat Heydarieh, one saffron dealer argued, “We’re the primary producer and exporter of saffron on this planet, there is not any different … By authorized or unlawful means, we’re sure our merchandise might be exported.”

Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi has the story.

Gaza journalists are ‘living the story’

Al Jazeera’s Zein Basravi, reporting from Ramallah in the Occupied West Bank, says that for journalists working in Gaza, it has been very personal. It has been very difficult. It has been reporting done under the most difficult of circumstances. And we have to understand those people living in Gaza, the reporters – ours and everybody else’s – they are from there. They live there. When they report on the fact that there is water running out, that electricity is being cut off, that there is a lack of food, they are very much going through the stories that they are reporting. They are very much, in every sense of the idea, living the story that they are reporting in Gaza right now.
