Iran, media: at least 20 dead since protests began. Al-Jazeera: 'Israel has extended yellow line, now occupies 50% of Gaza'

An eight-year-old boy and his father died and five others were injured in the collapse of a five-storey building damaged in Israeli raids on the Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza Strip. This was announced by the Hamas civil defence. The victims were identified as Ibrahim al-Shana, 29, and his son Muhammad al-Shana, 8. One of the wounded is in critical condition, the agency said. According to the UN, more than half of the structures in Gaza were destroyed during the war with Israel and about 40 per cent of the remaining structures are severely or moderately damaged.

Meanwhile, Israel considers that the ceasefire in Gaza does not justify the entry of foreign journalists into the territory, according to a government document sent to the Supreme Court, which will rule on the matter at a later date. "Despite the change in the situation on the ground, the entry of journalists (both foreign and non-foreign) into the Gaza Strip unescorted (...) should not be authorised," the prosecutor, representing the government, argues in the document sent to the Court.

US President Donald Trump and the enemy Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, during their meeting in Florida on the 29th of last month, "agreed to launch an attack against Iran if it does not commit to reaching an agreement according to American terms, and to start the second phase of the ceasefire agreement in Gaza, and to keep Lebanon neutral in this phase from any direct attack on Iran." The Lebanese website Al-Akhbar reports this, citing a leading official source.

However, according to sources, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has asked Russian President Vladimir Putin to convey reassuring messages to Iran that Israel does not intend to attack the country. This was reported by diplomatic sources to Kan News, according to which the messages were sent recently, including via telephone conversations between the two leaders, against the backdrop of rising tensions between Tel Aviv and Tehran.

The Israeli army launched attacks in southern and eastern Lebanon today, according to Lebanese state media reports, after warning that it would hit what they called Hezbollah and Hamas targets in four villages, despite a ceasefire with Hezbollah. This was revealed by journalistic sources on the ground. An Afp photographer in Kfar Hatta, one of the villages targeted in southern Lebanon, saw dozens of families fleeing the village after the message on X calling for eviction, adding that ambulances and fire trucks were on alert. The df said in a statement that it had 'started striking Hezbollah and Hamas terrorist targets in Lebanon'. The Lebanese state news agency (NNA) reported the attacks in Ain al-Tineh, Al-Manara and Annan. In two separate posts on X, the army's Arabic-language spokesman, Colonel Avichay Adraee, said the villages were Kfar Hatta and Annan in southern Lebanon and Al-Manara and Ain al-Tineh in eastern Lebanon.

"Trump and I have expressed a firm position: we will not allow Iran to rebuild its ballistic missile programme and we will certainly not allow it to restore its nuclear programme. This is a shared position, which remains so." This was stated by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, according to Ynet reports, after his visit to the US, where he met with US President Donald Trump.

The US has signalled to Iran its willingness to resume negotiations. This was emphasised by the Iranian Deputy Foreign Minister for Legal and International Affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, quoted by the Mehr news agency. The deputy minister confirmed that in Tehran "messages have been received from the US to negotiate", indicating Washington's willingness to resume a dialogue with the Islamic Republic. Gharibabadi clarified, however, that while a simple meeting can be arranged immediately, 'if we seek result-oriented talks, the necessary conditions must be met'.

At least 19 protesters and one member of the security forces were killed during several days of demonstrations in Iran, which spread to 222 locations across the country, with rallies reported in 78 cities in 26 provinces. This is written by Iran International, a London-based opposition media, which quotes Hrana, the news agency Human rights activists in Iran, a non-governmental organisation dedicated to the defence of human rights in the country.
