https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/israeli-army-chief-warns-reserve-forces-could-collapse-amid-manpower-crisisfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
12 May 2026"In January 2027, due to the reduction of mandatory service to 30 months, the #IDF [#Israel's army] will lose thousands more combat soldiers," Zamir told the committee.
"The reserve army will collapse into itself," he added, according to i24news.
Zamir warned MPs that after nearly three years of war on multiple fronts, the #military is facing a severe manpower shortage that could undermine future operations.

Filmmakers slam BBC after Gaza documentary wins award despite being dropped
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/filmmakers-slam-bbc-after-gaza-documentary-wins-award-despite-being-droppedfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
10 May 2026Filmmakers behind Gaza: #Doctors Under Attack used their BAFTA TV Award win on Sunday to publicly rebuke the #BBC, accusing it of silencing a #documentary that lays bare Israel’s assault on Gaza’s #medical sector throughout the #genocide.
The #film, originally commissioned by the BBC before being dropped last June, went on to win best current affairs programme after Channel 4 stepped in to broadcast it.
Accepting the award, presenter Ramita Navai said the public broadcaster had “paid for” the documentary but “refused to show it.”
The documentary’s content makes clear why it proved controversial. It opens with footage recovered from the phone of a #Palestinian medic killed under intense #Israeli gunfire, immediately placing #Israel’s targeting of #Gaza’s healthcare system at the centre of the narrative.

CIA says Iran has 70 percent of pre-war missiles, can ride out blockade for months: Report
CIA analysis directly contradicts public statements made by US President Donald Trump and his top officials on Iran's status
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/cia-says-iran-has-70-percent-pre-war-missile-stockpile-can-withstand-blockade-months-reportfrom #MiddleEastEye
May 7, 2026Iran can withstand the US naval blockade against it for three or four more months before facing severe economic hardship, the #CIA told the #Trump administration this week, according to a report by The Washington Post on Thursday.
The report also said the CIA has found that Tehran retains “significant ballistic missile capabilities” ...
The CIA report flies in the face of public statements by the Trump administration, which has claimed that the vast majority of #Iran’s drone and missile capabilities have been destroyed.
The #US has said that Iran is running out of storage space for its oil...
Analysts have told #MEE that Iran has “weeks” of storage space left.

April 29, 2026According to the report on Wednesday, the #military is operating under a plan to demolish predominantly Shia villages in an effort they believe would prevent residents from returning.
As part of the campaign, troops are assigned designated zones to demolish, with commanders required to record the number of structures destroyed each day.
“The only mission is to continue the destruction,” one commander told #Haaretz. “There are no other tasks.”

April 29, 2026After hours spent carefully preparing her cakes, Abrar Abdu stood stunned in silence before her oven.
In her small, darkened workshop in #Gaza City, the only light came from her phone’s torch, illuminating more than 27 ruined cakes - the result of a sudden #power cut and a faulty oven.
Abdu, 34, who runs a small cake business in the #Palestinian enclave, was forced to apologise to customers after failing to deliver their orders, refund every payment and absorb the full cost of the wasted ingredients.

Recent analysis conducted by climate charity Global Witness for the Guardian found that major #oil and #gas companies made over $30m an hour in the first month of the war on #Iran.

#Israel at 78 still believes it can live by the sword alone. A reckoning is due
On the country's Independence Day, the nostalgia of liberal Israelis for a better, earlier state is a comforting illusion. The Nakba and the occupation were there from the beginning
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/israel-78-believes-it-can-live-by-sword-alone-reckoning-due[A very moving, powerful article]
from #MiddleEastEye #MEE
Gideon Levy
23 April 2026At the beginning of this state was the Nakba: our day of celebration was the day of another people's historic catastrophe, a people who were here before us. Everything since has been bound up with what came before. What began in 1948 has not ended, not even in 2026.
From the Nakba to today, the basic principles by which #Zionism operates have not changed, nor has the policy of successive governments of the #Jewish state. The #Nakba has never ended; it has merely altered in form.

Activists break into #Leicester factory owned by Israeli firm #ElbitSystems
'People Against Genocide' members abseil through roof of #UAVTacticalSystems, owned by the #UK subsidiary of Israel's largest defence company

April 24, 2026According to a media group, the #activists used ladders to climb over razor-wire fencing to enter the premises.
After occupying the roof, they drilled holes into it and then abseiled into the building.
The Aftershock reported that the ceiling of the clean room, where Israeli #drone parts are reportedly made, was broken. It said that such contamination of the clean room could knock it out of use for some months.
One of the activists involved said: “We are sick and tired of our government’s collaboration in this #genocide that #Israel is committing on the #Palestinian people."

Exclusive: Inside Hezbollah’s battle for Bint Jbeil and Khiam
The Lebanese towns hold both strategic and symbolic weight for Israel. Sources close to Hezbollah describe how the Israelis failed to hold them [😀]
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/exclusive-inside-hezbollahs-battle-bint-jbeil-and-khiamfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
April 21, 2026For weeks, Israel bombarded Bint Jbeil and Khiam, repeatedly attempting to encircle the southern #Lebanese towns. Yet neither fully fell to #Israel’s invading military.
The survival of these #Hezbollah redoubts, which have long carried symbolic and strategic weight, exposed the limits of what #Israeli firepower is able to achieve in south #Lebanon, and the strategic power the terrain holds for its defenders.
Three sources close to Hezbollah, including one intimately familiar with the battles in the south, described to Middle East Eye how Israel was unable to dislodge the Lebanese armed movement.

Hamas rebuffs ‘trap’ disarmament plan as Israeli violations stall ceasefire process
Sources say Hamas rejects US-backed proposal, citing failure to implement first phase of ceasefire and concerns over Gaza security
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/hamas-rebuffs-trap-disarmament-plan-israeli-violations-stall-ceasefire-processfrom #MiddleEastEye
April 19, 2026Palestinian sources with direct knowledge of the talks told #MEE that #Hamas views the plan, presented earlier this month, as a “trap” designed to ignite civil war in the #Gaza Strip and destabilise #Palestinian society.
The group fears the proposal would leave Palestinians in Gaza defenceless while allowing Israeli-backed armed gangs to operate freely and spread disorder.
...opposition is even stronger within its military wing, which considers disarmament “collective suicide”.
They added...that the proposal targets Palestinian armed groups while failing to address armed gangs operating under Israeli direction inside Gaza.

War on Iran: Mediators push ceasefire extension as deal hopes fade
Sources tell #MEE progress made on key issues, but major gaps remain ahead of Wednesday’s deadline
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/united-states-iran-deal-hopes-fade-mediators-push-ceasefire-extensionfrom #MiddleEastEye
April 19, 2026Mediators are seeking to extend the #UnitedStates-Iran ceasefire, as hopes of reaching an agreement before Wednesday’s deadline faded on Sunday, sources have told #MiddleEast Eye.
Senior regional officials said progress had been made in recent days on key issues, including #Iran’s enriched #uranium, the #StraitOfHormuz and the future of Tehran’s allied armed groups across the region.
However, the mood shifted over the weekend, according to a senior Turkish official.
“There are several moving parts in the negotiations. Some are on track, but the gaps in others remain too wide to bridge,” the official said, speaking on condition of anonymity, like other sources in this report.

Last month, the British news website Declassified, Belgian NGO Vredesactie, Irish news website The Ditch, and the Palestinian Youth Movement alerted authorities in Brussels of a shipment travelling from Britain to Israel through #Liege airport.
The consignments left Britain on 23 March and were seized at Liege airport in Belgium on 24 March.

11 April 2026Over 200 people have been arrested central #London on Saturday at a mass demonstration opposing the #UK government’s proscription of the direct action group #PalestineAction.
Some 500 protesters set up camping chairs at the foot of the steps of Trafalgar Square, displaying handmade cardboard signs reading: “I oppose #genocide, I support #Palestine Action.”
The demonstrators were met with a heavy police presence, with vans lining the square hours before the vigil began.

There is no ceasefire in Gaza
As the killing continues, with #Palestinians still unable to return home or move freely, the world cannot call this a truce
https://www.middleeasteye.net/opinion/there-no-ceasefire-gazafrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
15 March 2026A few days ago, I was walking with a friend through the tents in al-Mawasi, southern #Gaza. We were heading to a small cafe I have frequented since my roof became fabric.
The ground beneath us was mud, the winter air heavy, and the faces around us heavier still. We were talking about the formation of the #US-led “Board of Peace”, in a phase of the so-called ceasefire that is supposedly defined by stability and reconstruction.
At that exact moment, the sound of an explosion tore through the air. We stopped talking, and I found myself asking: how is this a ceasefire? How can peace be declared while explosions still echo above our heads?

Gaza hit by food shortages and price hikes after Israel shuts crossings
Panic spreads as families rush to markets to stock up amid fears of famine returning

March 7, 2026[#Israel taking advantage of Iran war to further Gaza genocide]
As the #US- Israel war on #Iran began last week and #Gaza’s crossings were shut, panic spread through the densely populated enclave, raising fears of a famine returning.
#Palestinians rushed to markets to stock up on essentials, as soaring prices and shortages of key items, particularly vegetables, signalled the impact of the closures.
Gaza depends almost entirely on border crossings for the entry of food and essential goods, meaning any sudden closure is quickly reflected in local markets and household budgets.

'No to War': Iranian opposition abroad pushes back against US-Israeli strikes
Anti-war figures and critics of the establishment speak out on Farsi social media
https://www.middleeasteye.net/news/no-war-iranian-opposition-abroad-push-back-against-us-israeli-strikesfrom #MiddleEastEye #MEE
March 1, 2026In the first hours of the #US-#Israel strikes on #Iran, opponents of the war and critics of the #IslamicRepublic from across the political spectrum quickly made their divergent voices heard on #Farsi social media.
While anti-war activists were swift to revive the Farsi hashtag “No to War” on Saturday, pro-monarchy groups and individuals, led by #RezaPahlavi called for an escalation of attacks on Iran.
Pahlavi, the Israel-aligned son of the country’s last shah, has been at the helm of a movement advocating the restoration of the monarchy. Since Israel’s 12-day #war on Iran last year, his camp has mounted an aggressive media campaign against rival opposition voices.

The decision comes a fortnight after six other defendants were acquitted of the same charges

Feb. 18, 2026Eighteen defendants allegedly involved in a #PalestineAction raid on an Israeli-owned arms factory in the #UK will no longer face charges of aggarvated burglary, after six others were acquitted of the same charges.
At Woolwich Crown Court in London on Wednesday, prosecutor Deanna Heer KC said the Crown Prosecution Service had "reconsidered the sufficiency of the evidence" and would offer no evidence on that charge.
The 18 will continue to face other charges in connection with the alleged raid.

6 February 2026 09:00 GMTIn the old city, or Casco Viejo, bills addressing the #genocide are pasted on the facades between shop windows; "Boikota #Israel" (#BoycottIsrael) are widely sprayed on the walls of apartment blocks.
On the balconies of the colourful apartments overlooking the Nervion River, #Palestinian flags are draped from every second or third apartment.
Every flag that flutters in the wet breeze announces itself as proof of life.
The level of pro-#Palestine solidarity is unlike any other city I have visited in the western world over the course of the genocide.

4 February 2026 12:40 GMTDuring the trial, the prosecution alleged that the six defendants entered the factory with sledgehammers, intending, if needed, to injure and incapacitate security guards.
But the defendants disputed that the sledgehammers were “weapons of offence”, and insisted they were intended only to damage property.
As the verdicts were being read, the defendants held hands and embraced in the dock, as families and supporters cheered and wept.
The six defendants have been held for around 18 months on remand- exceeding standard #UK custodial time limits.
