Palestinians forced into lockdown as Israel’s West Bank assault continues

A human rights organization warns that the Israeli military is continuing to carry out extensive, deadly raids on the territory, forcing entire Palestinian communities into lockdown in some areas of the occupied West Bank.

Due to the Israeli military’s fear of violence, which the organization, which launched an intensified operation earlier this week, led to the release of a report from Save the Children on Friday.

The child rights organization claimed that the lockdowns “keep kids out of school, put families at risk, and increase the risk of physical violence and child detention from the Israeli military.”

Beginning on Wednesday, Israeli troops began a series of significant raids in other cities and towns in the occupied West Bank, including Jenin, and placed a large portion of the northeastern Tubas governorate under Israeli control.

Since the raids began, Israeli forces have inflicted dozens of injuries in the Tubas area, according to a report released Friday by the Palestinian news agency Wafa.

Residents claim that the military has launched arbitrary attacks against civilians, blocked journalists and ambulances, and damaged infrastructure as a result of Israel’s claim that the operation is aimed at eradicating Palestinian armed groups.

A video of two unarmed Palestinian men being killed by Israeli forces in Jenin on Thursday, which was filmed, has also received widespread condemnation.

“Systematic assault”

In the wake of Israel’s genocidal war against Palestinians in the nearby Gaza Strip, which has claimed the lives of nearly 70, 000 Palestinians since October 2023, there has been a rise in Israeli military and settler violence in the occupied West Bank.

Since Israel’s occupation of Gaza began, more than 1, 000 Palestinians have been killed by Israeli army and settler attacks in the West Bank, according to the UN.

Since January, about 32, 000 residents of several refugee camps have been forced out of their homes and prevented by Israel from returning, making the northern West Bank particularly hit.

In what rights organizations and UN officials have described as a campaign to forcefully relocate Palestinians, the Israeli military has also engaged in extensive home demolitions.

The raids in the Tubas governorate, according to Ameer, who works for a West Bank-based Save the Children organization, are “a systematic assault by Israeli forces and a continuation of the Israeli government’s collective punishment policy.”

“The operation is preventing children from receiving essential services and supplies, including education and health care,” the operation claims. Every child in these regions is denied access to education, according to Ameer in a statement.

Gaza attacks

Despite a US-brokered ceasefire with Hamas that was signed last month, Israel has continued to attack Gaza.

A Palestinian was killed in Bani Suheila, a town east of Khan Younis, in an Israeli drone attack that was reported on Friday, along with several other Israeli attacks in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis and Rafah, according to a local medical report.

According to the most recent information from the enclave’s Ministry of Health, at least 347 Palestinians have been killed since the truce started on October 10.

The director of the government media office in Gaza, Ismail al-Thawabta, also reported on Friday that 535 Israeli violations had been documented since the ceasefire began.

Al-Thawabta claimed in a statement posted on Telegram that aid flow into the war-torn region is still significantly below what was agreed upon during the truce.

Only 35 percent of the nearly 28, 000 requested have been allowed by the Israeli occupation, making aid a tool of war instead of a legal or humanitarian obligation, he claimed.

I’m A Celeb’s Jack Osbourne reveals Sharon said her ‘dad was dead’ in shock admission

Osbourne remarked on his song, “I’m a Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here!” co-stars claim that he was raised believing that Sharon’s father, Don Arden, had passed away before they first met.

Years before their first meeting, Jack Osbourne learned that his maternal grandfather “was dead.” When he was just 16 years old, the reality star and son of Sharon and Ozzy Osbourne first met his maternal grandfather, Don Arden.

I’m a celebrity… Get Me Out of Here! on Friday’s episode! Jack revealed his legendary family to his campmates. Rock and roll surrounded Jack when he was a child. His grandfather, Don, oversaw the likes of Sabbath, Jerry Lee Lewis, and Gene Vincent, to name a few. His father, of course, was Black Sabbath’s frontman.

Don, who passed away in 2007 at the age of 81, gained notoriety for his aggressive businessmanship and was frequently referred to as the “Al Capone of Pop.” However, he separated himself from his family, including Sharon, as a result of his business decisions.

Shortly before he and Sharon started dating, Sabbath fired Ozzy, and she took over as his manager in 1979. For the past 20 years, Sharon and Don had no communication.

Model Kelly Brook told Jack that she’d heard that Don had dangled bands out of the window unless they agreed to sign with him as their manager. Confirming it was true, Jack nodded before saying: “He pulled guns on people, everything.”

After Sharon took over Ozzy, Don “certainly tried” to dangle her out of the window, Jack further explained. After Sharon and Don were hired as Ozzy’s manager, Jack lightened up Sharon and Don’s feud, he said, “He sent hitmen after them.” He taught her everything, and he conducted all kinds of messed up things, including showing up with guns at shows.

“Bad s**t,” he said, “He would never get in trouble if my mother had signed all of these documents and everything was in her name.” Other record companies would be bombed by them. My grandfather was aware of the Krays because of this. Who could help us out, would be more appropriate? “

Jack later revealed Sharon had learned everything about Don’s activities, including stealing money from bands. He told his campmates, “She left and took control of my dad, and they went to court, they had to essentially pay him a million dollars to break the contract.”

Jack revealed the reasons why he and his grandad didn’t get along until he was 17 years old. Up until I was 15 or 16 when my mother actually told me he was dead, I was just 15 or 16? Sharon and Don were seen argumenting in Beverly Hills, but Sharon later explained to her children that Don wasn’t dead.

He continued, “My dad said, You need to deal with this, or you’ll have regrets,” adding, “He got diagnosed with Alzheimer’s. Sharon said in a 2001 statement that she had no intentions of reconciling with her father or giving him the details of her children. My father has never even seen any of my three children, and she claimed that he will never do so.

However, Sharon and Don reconciled in the same year, as requested by Ozzy. He met his granddaughter Aimée on-screen because she refused to appear on the reality series The Osbournes the following year.

After battling Alexheimer’s disease, Don sadly passed away on July 21, 2007, in Los Angeles. In the later years of his life, Sharon had provided for his care. He was laid to rest just days later in Cheetham, Manchester, close to where he was born. Sharon, however, chose not to go to his funeral because she was “too traumatized to attend.”

Peru to declare state of emergency to block Chile border crossings

Jose Jeri, president of Peru, declared a state of emergency on the border with Chile on social media, raising questions about a humanitarian crisis.

Just two weeks before a run-off in Chile will be held, Jeri’s statement on Friday comes just before it.

In the event that he defeats leftist Jeannette Jara on December 14, the leader of far-right candidate Jose Antonio Kast will face off against Jara. He has pledged to detain and expel immigrants who are without documentation from Chile.

In response to the campaign pledges, Venezuelans who have long sought opportunity in Chile despite domestic economic difficulties have increased.

Jeri is a far-right figurehead for himself. He took Dina Boluarte’s place in October as Peru’s Congress’s head in the absence of her impeached predecessor.

In a brief post on the social media platform X, he confirmed media speculation about the state of emergency.

To prevent migrants from entering without authorization, Jeri wrote, “We ARE going to declare a state of emergency at the border with Chile.”

He added that Peru’s estimated 34 million people could be harmed by the influx due to “the public safety of the country.”

According to Peruvian police general Arturo Valverde, at least 100 people were attempting to enter the country on Friday, according to local news agency Canal N.

Images of families attempting to cross the border from Chile have been broadcast for days in Peruvian media.

Before the country’s December 14 election, Kast issued a campaign video warning undocumented people to leave the country shortly after.

The right-wing leader in charge of Chile, Gabriel Boric, is currently only allowed to run for president for four years at once under the terms of office.

On March 11, 2026, the new president will formally sworn in. Going into the December election, Kast is regarded as the front-runner.

In his campaign video, Kast stated, “You have 111 days to leave Chile voluntarily.

“We will detain you, detain you, and expel you if not.” You’ll leave with only your belongings on your back.

Jeri, the president of Peru, also made a statement earlier this week that he would send troops to the area’s border.

In Chile, it is estimated that there are 330 000 undocumented people. How many people had recently entered Peru was unknown at the time.

The Chilean minister of security, Luis Cordero, criticized Kast’s campaign tactics, saying that “rhetoric occasionally has consequences.”

He argued that “people cannot be used to stir up controversy during elections.”

Save £40 on beauty tool Vogue Williams wanted to smuggle into I’m A Celeb jungle

This adorable face tool was brought by Vogue Williams to Australia with her appearance on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! – and the price has been reduced since Black Friday.

Vogue Williams still looks stunning on I’m A Celebrity… Get Me Out Of Here! despite being smothered in cockroaches or being forced to take a glass of liquid fish eyes. We recently learned about her fake tan secrets and how she navigated the show’s no-makeup policy, and we now know about the essential beauty kit she brought with her to Australia, wishing she could smuggle it into the jungle.

Vogue made a brief appearance on “What’s in my bag?” before heading to camp. This handy depuffing and contouring facial tool was whipped out for her Instagram after revealing to fans what she was taking on the flight. She says, “I would like to take this in,” and she shows off her skin. All I’m bringing in are the clothes I’ve been given, as well as knickers, when I say you have nothing [that you’re allowed to take in with you].

How Vogue Williams sported a fake tan in the I’m A Celeb jungle for as long as she could.

The new Shark DePuffi Contrast Therapy Sculpting Tool, a clever little portable facial tool that uses hot and cold temperatures to contour and depuff the face, relieve muscle tension in the face, and increase the radiance of your skin, is the subject of this article. According to OK!, it’s typically priced at 179.99 but is currently being reduced to 133.99 as part of Shark’s Black Friday sale.

The Shark Depuffi draws inspiration from the traditional gua sha technique, which uses a specially designed surface to fit the contours of the face, along with six temperature settings (three warm and three cold) to calm the skin and sculpt the face. It’s intended to be used over the face, upwards, and outwards, and provides immediate relief, as Vogue briefly demonstrated in her Instagram video.

It’s probably especially useful if you have a long flight and find your face swollen after a bad night’s sleep (so why Vogue was so eager to bring it into the jungle) or if you’ve had a rough time sleeping. ).

This beauty device is just one of many that are being markedly discounted this Black Friday, including air conditioners, hair dryers, and LED masks.
