Palestinian Red Crescent Society: An Israeli attack in Rafah claimed 35 lives.
According to Palestinian health officials, Israeli airstrikes on Sunday destroyed displaced people’s tents in the southern Gaza city of Rafah, killing at least 35 people. Several more people were reportedly trapped in smouldering rubble. According to Gaza’s Health Ministry, the majority of the wounded and deceased were women and children.
The attacks took place two days after Israel was ordered to cease its military offensive in Rafah, where before to Israel’s incursion earlier this month, over half of Gaza’s population had taken refuge. Many have gone, leaving tens of thousands of people in the region.
Heavy damage was shown in video captured from the location of the biggest airstrike. The Israeli army verified the attack and reported that it killed two top Hamas members and struck a Hamas facility. It declared that it was looking into claims of damage to civilians. According to his office, Yoav Gallant, the minister of defence, was briefed on the “deepening of operations” in Rafah on Sunday.
The number of fatalities is expected to increase, according to a Palestinian Red Crescent Society spokesman, as search and rescue operations in Rafah’s Tal al-Sultan neighbourhood, which is located around two kilometres (1.2 miles) northwest of the city centre, continue.
The group claimed that Israel had declared the region to be a “humanitarian area.” The neighbourhood is not among the neighbourhoods that were ordered to be evacuated earlier this month by the Israeli military.
After more than seven months of Israel’s huge air, sea, and ground offensive, Hamas demonstrated resilience by firing a volley of missiles from Gaza, setting off air raid sirens as far away as Tel Aviv for the first time in months. Hours later, the airstrike was confirmed.
This seemed to be Gaza’s first long-range rocket launch since January, with no reports of casualties. The military branch of Hamas took credit. According to the Israeli military, eight rockets that were fired from Rafah crossed into Israel; “a number” of them were intercepted, and the launcher was destroyed.
After Israeli forces captured the Palestinian side of the Rafah border earlier this month, dozens of relief vehicles entered Gaza from southern Israel early on Sunday as part of a new arrangement to avoid using that crossing. According to the Israeli military, 126 relief trucks crossed at the neighbouring Kerem Shalom border.
However, due of the conflict, it was not immediately clear if humanitarian organisations could get the goods, including medical supplies. Due to Israel’s offensive in Rafah, the crossing has been essentially unusable. According to UN agencies, retrieving aid is typically too risky. An further Israeli incursion in Rafah would have a “disastrous” consequences, according to the World Health Organisation last week.
The spokeswoman for U.N. chief Antonio Guterres stated in a statement, “With the humanitarian operation near collapse, the secretary-general emphasises that the Israeli authorities must facilitate the safe pickup and delivery of humanitarian supplies from Egypt entering Kerem Shalom.”
Egypt will not restore its portion of the Rafah crossing until the Palestinians regain control of the Gaza side. Following a phone conversation between US President Joe Biden and Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sissi, it consented to temporarily reroute traffic through Gaza’s primary cargo terminal, Kerem Shalom.
Gaza’s Health Ministry, which does not differentiate between combatants and civilians in its tally, reports that the conflict between Israel and Hamas has claimed the lives of around 36,000 Palestinians. Israel accuses Hamas of causing civilian casualties because the militant group operates in dense residential areas.
Approximately 80% of Gaza’s 2.3 million residents have left their homes, there is widespread extreme hunger, and according to U.N. authorities, famine is occurring in several areas of the enclave.
With their invasion into Israel on October 7, during which Palestinian militants killed over 1,200 people—mostly civilians—and took about 250 hostages, Hamas started the conflict. After the majority of the hostages were freed during a cease-fire last year, Hamas still holds over 100 hostages and the bodies of about thirty more.
Benjamin Netanyahu, the prime minister of Israel, has declared that Israel must seize control of Rafah in order to destroy the last battalions of Hamas and win “total victory” over the terrorists, who have regrouped in several areas of Gaza.
In the Israeli-occupied West Bank, tensions have also increased as a result of the war. According to Palestinian officials, a 14-year-old kid was shot and killed by Israeli soldiers on Sunday in the village of Saeer in the southern West Bank. According to the Israeli army, the Palestinian man attempted to stab Israeli police at Beit Einun Junction before being shot and killed.
PARTICULARLY CUT OFF FROM AID IN SOUTHERN GAZA
Aid to the southern Gaza region has been mainly blocked since Israel began what it described as a modest invasion into Rafah on May 6. More than a million Palestinians—many of whom had previously been displaced—have left the city since then.
Two land routes that Israel established in response to international outcry after Israeli attacks killed seven relief workers in April are used to transport aid to Northern Gaza.
Fewer than half of the 150 trucks per day that officials had intended for pass through a floating pier constructed by the United States to enter Gaza every day. Aid organisations claim that 600 trucks are required daily.
MAN DETAINED IN ISRAEL OVER MUTINY THREAT
In response to a widely shared video of a man in uniform threatening mutiny, the Israeli military said that it had arrested a suspect. The individual claims that tens of thousands of soldiers swore allegiance to Netanyahu and were prepared to defy the defence minister’s recommendation that the Palestinians should run Gaza after the conflict.
Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari, a spokesman for the Israeli military, stated that the individual has been taken from reserve duty. The location and date of the video’s creation were unclear.In a brief statement, the prime minister’s office denounced military insubordination in all its manifestations.

Michigan splash pad attack: A couple was shot seven times in total while defending their two small daughters.
During the Michigan splash pad incident, a Rochester couple who were defending their young girls were shot seven times in all. Michael William Nash, 42, shot and wounded nine people at the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad in Rochester Hills before taking his own life.
After being shot seven times in all, Micayla and Eric Coughlin sustained injuries while attempting to shield their two-year-old and seven-month-old girls. The attack happened close to their house on Saturday, June 15, at approximately five o’clock in the evening.
According to a GoFundMe page created for the couple, they were attacked brutally as they brought their kids to the Brooklands Plaza Splash Pad to “enjoy a day with beautiful weather.” After grabbing a child to shield themselves, they were shot and hurt.
The page says, “They walked to the splash pad shortly after getting ice cream, and they weren’t even there for a minute when Micayla and Eric heard gunfire.” “They each grabbed a child to protect them, trying to save their own children.”
Right now, the woman and husband are receiving treatment in a hospital. Noel Wakula, a friend of Micayla’s, organised the campaign, which has asked for donations to support the family with their medical expenses.
The page says, “Their children were protected and able to go home that evening because of their heroic actions.” “After this unimaginable tragedy, Micayla and Eric have a long and unknown recovery ahead of them.”
Three other members of the same family—a 39-year-old lady, an eight-year-old child, and a four-year-old son—were also killed in the catastrophe. A 78-year-old guy who was shot in the abdomen was the oldest casualty.
It is said that Nash had mental health problems. Although his motivation is being looked into, the Detroit Free Press claims he was unrelated to the victims.

Netizens express embarrassment at confused Joe Biden being escorted off stage by Barack Obama at an event in Los Angeles.
In a widely shared video, Joe Biden appeared to freeze up on stage at a Los Angeles fundraiser, and former president Barack Obama was seen helping him off. The altercation happened following Biden and Obama’s 45-minute appearance at the Peacock Theatre for a late-night chat with Jimmy Kimmel.
The men can be seen in the footage standing for applause at the star-studded event. Biden seemed to fix his gaze on the audience for ten seconds or more before Obama walked him off the stage and grabbed his wrist. The New York Post reports that the Biden campaign was able to raise almost $30 million at the event. At the occasion were famous people including Barbra Streisand, Julia Roberts, and George Clooney.
“There is no way that this is the head of the free world.”
“No offence… But I’ll never understand why old folks, and I mean rich old men and women just can’t leave politics alone and simply go on about their lives and enjoy EVERY bit of it until the last day,” wrote one of the many comments on the above video that British broadcaster Piers Morgan shared on social media. Too wealthy to be making themselves look bad on national television like this. One person remarked, “Clearly President Obama seems to have stepped in and taken command,” while another said, “They’re simply going to carry on pretending that it’s not happening and continue promoting Biden as “Sharp, dynamic, and full of vigour.”
“Why does Obama appear to be dragging out Biden as some elderly statesman to smile and wave at the crowd? One user said, “This cannot possibly be the leader of the free world,” and another commented, “It’s hard not to feel sorry for Biden.” The elderly boy has to be taken care of and removed from the spotlight by someone. A user said, “It’s so embarrassing that they have allowed this to continue.”
Some people, meanwhile, expressed sympathy for Biden’s poor performance. Would you send him shopping with a list to the nearby stores and expect him to return home if he were your father? It is inhumane. One commenter said, “They are embarrassing him by letting this continue. “I’m sure mainstream media will cry about “camera angles” and “framing” again,” another person commented. Elder abuse is something that must be acknowledged.
In fact, one user went so far as to say he thought the incident was being exaggerated and that Biden had not actually frozen up. “I was present there. In the front row, I witnessed three young people yelling at President Biden. @President Biden did not clam up when trying to listen. Seemingly prepared to reply, Now incorrect news is spreading. Sharing my perspective,” the user wrote.

Saudi Arabia: As the temperature approaches 48 degrees, 14 Jordanian Hajj pilgrims have died.
Because of the intense heat and prolonged heatwave that pervaded Saudi Arabia during the Hajj, at least 14 Jordanian pilgrims have perished and 17 more are missing. During the Hajj pilgrimage, fourteen Jordanian pilgrims perished and seventeen more went missing, according to the foreign ministry of Jordan. According to the statement, its citizens died “after suffering a stroke due to the extreme heat wave.”
The Jordanian foreign ministry stated in a statement that it was working with the Saudi authorities to arrange for the burial or transfer of the remains of the deceased in accordance with the family’s requests.
Five Iranian pilgrims’ deaths were also confirmed by the Iranian Red Crescent, however the cause of their deaths was not disclosed, according to news agency AFP. Regarding the deaths, Saudi authorities haven’t yet made an official comment.
In the holy town, the temperature has surpassed 40 degrees Celsius (104 degrees Fahrenheit) and is expected to hit 47 degrees on Monday.
As part of their efforts to reduce heat, the Saudi authorities have established numerous climate-controlled rooms. Along with giving out water, they counsel pilgrims on sun protection techniques. Additionally, the Saudi health ministry sent a warning advising pilgrims to avoid the warmest parts of the day outside and to stay hydrated.
One of the world’s biggest mass gatherings is the Hajj. Saudi officials claim that around 1.8 million pilgrims are participating this year. Over the last 30 years, hundreds of deaths have occurred at the festival due to stampedes, tent fires, heat, and other causes.
At least 240 persons, many of whom were from Indonesia, lost their lives during the Hajj pilgrimage in 2018. The death toll was reported by several nations, although the causes of death were not given. Heat stroke affected more than 2,000 pilgrims on the journey.
Hajj for this year would conclude on Wednesday.
