Israel accused of targeted killing of civilians in West Bank| BBC News

Published

on



Four brothers killed earlier this month by an Israeli air strike in the occupied West Bank were Palestinian civilians who posed no threat to Israeli forces, witnesses have told the BBC.

Violence in the West Bank has been rising since the war began in Gaza. The United Nations says more than 300 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by the Israeli army since the Hamas attacks on Israel three months ago.

The killing of the four brothers happened hours after a 19-year-old Israeli army officer during clashes with Palestinian groups in the West Bank city of Jenin.

    This is nothing but terrorism. It is surprising that America and the West do not explicitly evacuate this. Israel is behaving like every colonialist nation in history

    You have the audacity to try to portray the Palestinians as poor and sick and persecuted? They are the ones who are killing everybody around and keep standing they want to do it over and over and over again are you stupid, pure evil, or just blind? Either way the reporting" of the BBC is is overtly biassed and should be taken off the air! this is not news reporting, but VILE propaganda.

    Didn't BBC propagate a lie earlier that the Hamas Rocket that exploded in the hospital was an Israeli airstrike ?!! 🙂 BBC has no crediblity in reporting, it is nothing more than a propaganda tool like the CNN, MSNBC, and AL Jazeera

    Sorry words can’t describe how I feel😭😭 World leaders we can’t keep a blind eye. Israel is terrorizing the Palestinians in West Bank and stealing their land. They don’t have the licence to do what they want by killing innocent people. Send UN military forces in to protect these people. Israel has no rights it .Palestinians WestBank is their country. No occupation from Israel. Why is the IDF always there terrorizing the Palestinians 💭 why is Israel there💭why don’t you charge the settlers for trespassing and assault 💭

    We once again see how little Israel values human life, though that’s incorrect since they don’t view non Jews as humans to begin with.

US hits ‘dozens’ of Iranian sites in strikes, as Iran targets US bases in region | BBC News

Published

on



The US said it has hit “dozens” of Iranian military targets in overnight attacks, in response to Iran hitting commercial ships in the Strait of Hormuz.

The military said it struck “air-defense systems, coastal radar sites, missile and drone capabilities, and small boats”, using aircraft, ships, and drones – including “one-way attack sea drones for the first time”.

“The Strait of Hormuz is a vital maritime corridor for global trade,” the US military said. “Iran does not control it”.

In response, Iran said it targeted US bases in Jordan, Bahrain, and Kuwait and also radar systems in Oman.

Trump demands 20% toll on cargos passing through strait of Hormuz | BBC News

Published

on



President Donald Trump has said the US is reinstating a naval blockade of Iranian ports and will impose a 20% charge on all cargo shipped through the Strait of Hormuz following days of escalating strikes between the two countries.

He said this would stop “Iran’s ships or customers” from entering or leaving the key oil shipping route, but “all other countries will have fair and open use of the Strait”.

Iran’s foreign minister later said whoever provides safe passage “should be compensated for this service”, but Iran would remain the strait’s “GUARDIAN” – using Trump’s word.

Tehran and Washington clashed over the strait’s control after exchanging strikes in the region overnight and on Monday.

The US said it carried out strikes against military targets in Iran, targeting air defence systems, coastal radars, and missile and drone sites. Iran said it responded by striking US military bases in Kuwait, Jordan and Bahrain, and radars in Oman.
