US-Israeli Gaza genocide
The Israeli military has intensified its deadly attacks on the Gaza Strip, killing and injuring more civilians across the besieged territory. At least 17 people, including women and children, were killed in an overnight Israeli airstrike on the Fatima Bint Asad school, which was sheltering over 2,000 displaced people in Jabalia, northern Gaza. Moreover, a residential building in Al-Nusairat refugee camp was targeted, resulting in one death and several injuries. Artillery shelling also was reported across several areas of the Strip, including Beit Lahia and Beit Hanoun. The Israeli strikes also escalated in southern Gaza, particularly in Khan Yunis and Rafah. This as the Gaza health ministry reported that over 52,800 Palestinians have been killed in the Israeli genocide since October 2023. More than 119,500 others have been injured.
Hamas release of US captive
A spokesperson for Hamas military wing, Al-Qassam Brigades, says the resistance group will release a US-Israeli captive held in Gaza on Monday. Abu Ubaida’s statement came after the Hamas leader in Gaza said Edan Alexander would be released as a first step toward establishing a ceasefire, the opening of Gaza’s border crossings, and the delivery of humanitarian aid. Khalil al-Hayya added that the decision followed direct communications with the US administration over the past few days. Meanwhile, the Israeli prime minister says Tel Aviv has not agreed to any ceasefire with Hamas and will only provide a safe corridor to allow the American national’s release. Hamas released 38 Israeli captives in exchange for thousands of Palestinians abducted by Israel under a ceasefire deal that began on January 19. Israel's military broke that ceasefire in March, resuming its deadly air and artillery strikes on Gaza.
Dissolution of PKK
Turkey’s main Kurdish militant group the PKK has decided to dissolve itself, ending more than four decades of armed struggle against the government. According to a news agency close to the group, the PKK Congress decided to dissolve its organizational structure and end its method of armed struggle. This came in response to a call in February from its jailed leader Abdullah Ojalan to disband. In a letter, Ojalan urged the group to hold a congress to formalize the decision. Days later, the PKK's leadership accepted the call, declaring a ceasefire. More than 40,000 people have been killed in the conflict since the PKK launched its insurgency in 1984. It was designated a terrorist group by Turkey and its Western allies.
