Israel ends agreement with UN agency providing aid in Gaza
Israel has terminated an agreement facilitating the work of the UN agency for Palestinian refugees – the main aid provider in Gaza.
The move appears to be a step to implement legislation passed last month that would sever ties with the UNRWA agency and prevent it from operating in Israel.
Israel says the UNRWA has been infiltrated by Hamas. The agency denies the allegations and says it takes measures to ensure its neutrality.
Syria
On Sunday, Israel said its troops had carried out a ground raid into Syria to seize a Syrian it accuses of working with Iran.
It was the first time in the current war that Israel announced its troops operated in Syrian territory.
Despite growing pressure from the United States and others in the international community for a ceasefire in Gaza and Lebanon, intensified Israeli strikes against the Hezbollah militant group are expanding beyond Lebanon’s border areas.
Israel is also fighting a seemingly endless war against Hamas in northern Gaza.
Mass killings
Since the conflict between Israel and Hezbollah erupted last year, at least 2,900 people have been killed and 13,150 wounded in Lebanon, the health ministry reports, not including Friday’s toll.

Time to throw Israel out of the UN as was the case with Apartheid South Africa.
Or more like time to throw UNRWA out of the UN
They are totally infiltrated by terrorists, many UNRWA paid staffers took part in the barbaric Oct 7th attacks.
Israel “fighting a war in Gaza”! Oh dear! You sound like the good old BBC now! Funny war when the vast majority of casualties are civilians!
It sounds like a genocide to most sane people.
When the terrorists use local people as human shields, what do you expect?
Seriously? 40,000 dead! 9000, children? Hospitals targeted! C
Tented refugee camps? The Nazis said the same thing about the Maqui & their guerrilla resistance. Tell us all oh wise one, what do you expect the Palestinians to do? 76 years since the first Nakba. Since then Israel has been breaking international law, displacing Palestinians to seize their lands & property! What do you expect them to do? What would you do? Churchill expected the population of U.K. to fight a guerrilla action against the Nazis if they had succeeded in invading. He expected our parents to be terrorists!
