Press TV's News Headlines
Genocide in Gaza
The Israeli military presses ahead with its aggression against Gaza, killing and injuring more Palestinians in its latest round of attacks. At least three Palestinian were killed and several others injured in Israeli shelling of a village near Beit Lahia, northern Gaza. Fatalities were also reported after the Israeli artillery shelled the Tel al-Sultan neighborhood, near Rafah, southern Gaza. Israeli air and artillery strikes also killed several Palestinians in Khan Yunis, also in the south. Hamas political leader, Salah al-Bardaweel, was among those killed in Israeli strikes in Khan Yunis. Other areas of Gaza were also the scene of deadly Israeli attacks. The strikes began after Israel unilaterally ended a ceasefire agreement with Hamas, accusing the group of failing to release the captives still held in Gaza. Hamas however, blames Israel for not abiding by its commitments under the deal.
Solidarity with Gaza
Loud blasts have been reported in Tel Aviv following a fresh Yemeni strike on Israeli-occupied territories. The attack set off sirens across the occupied land and sent Israelis rushing for shelters. Flights at Ben Gurion airport were also halted. Israel's military claims it has intercepted a missile launched from Yemen. The attack is the latest in a series of Yemeni military operations against Israel in support of Palestinians. Yemen resumed the operations after a two-month hiatus. It cited Israel’s failure to abide by the terms of a ceasefire in Gaza and refusal to allow humanitarian aid into the strip.
Turmoil in Turkey
A Turkish court has formally placed Istanbul Mayor Ekrem Imamoglu under arrest in a corruption probe, amid heavy security measures after four consecutive nights of violent protests. The Istanbul public prosecutor charged Imamoglu and several municipal officials with bribery and unlawful acquisition of personal data. A ruling on a second set of charges are expected in the coming hours. They’re related to alleged links to Kurdistan Workers’ Party or PKK, which Ankara considers a terror organization. The Istanbul mayor, who is a potential presidential rival for President Recep Tayyip Erdogan, has denied all charges. His arrest has triggered a wave of protests that mark the country's most serious unrest in over a decade. The demonstrations have led to over 300 arrests so far. The rallies are called by Imamoglu’s Republican People's Party as well as the Democratic Party. Erdogan has condemned the protests as street terror that will not be tolerated.
