Israeli attack kills two children in southern Gaza despite ceasefire

According to doctors, an Israeli drone attack east of Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip claimed the lives of two Palestinian children.

Witnesses reported to Al Jazeera that Juma and Fadi Tamer Abu Assi, two brothers, were killed when drones dropped a bomb on a group of civilians close to al-Farabi School on Saturday morning.

According to medical sources, the two boys were taken to Khan Younis’ Nasser Medical Complex with serious injuries and later declared dead.

The targeted area is located beyond the so-called Yellow Line, which represents the Israeli forces’ redeployment boundary, according to sources.

The Israeli military launched ground, naval, and air attacks on several of Gaza’s earlier on Saturday.

According to medical sources, Israeli air and rocket bombardment in the town of al-Qarara, northeast of Khan Younis, left three Palestinians dead.

On Saturday morning, Israeli aircraft also carried out raids in the Tuffah neighborhood in the east of Gaza City.

Additionally, attacks targeted southern Gaza’s Rafah city’s eastern areas.

The attacks come one day after the Nasser Medical Complex announced that a Palestinian was killed by Israeli drone fire from the town of Bani Suheila outside of the Yellow Line.

Since October 2023, Israel has attacked Gaza killing nearly 70 000 people, primarily women and children, and injuring more than 170,000.

As Hamas demands that Israel beg the international community to abide by the truce, it has repeatedly broken it.

Israeli forces injure hundreds of Palestinians in raids on Tubas, West Bank

In addition to the major offensive against northern areas of the occupied territory that began on Wednesday, which continued to cause widespread destruction, Israeli forces have injured more than 200 Palestinians in raids on the West Bank governorate of Tubas.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS), 78 of the wounded in the Israeli attacks on Tubas since Wednesday required hospital care.

Israeli soldiers have moved the focus of their raids to Tubas as well as the nearby villages of Aqqaba and Tayaseer since Friday when they retreated from Tammun and Far’a refugee camp.

Nearly 200 Palestinians have been detained by Israeli forces in the last four days, according to local officials. At least eight people were detained and transferred to Israeli military jails, despite the majority of them being interrogated and released on the spot.

In addition to the military raids in Qalqilya, Jenin, and Nablus, at least nine Palestinians were taken into custody. According to local sources, two children and a woman were among the five people detained in Qalqilya at dawn on Saturday, according to local sources.

Since October 2023, there have been 47 army incursions on average every day across the occupied West Bank in November. These incursions have been accompanied by violent raids by Israeli soldiers and armed settlers.

The town’s mayor of Tammun told Al Jazeera that despite the number of raids in the Tubas governorate over the past few years, the ones this week were the worst in terms of scale, destruction, and violence.

He claimed that more than 1.5 kilometers (1 mile) of Israeli-occupied West Bank roads have been torn up, water networks have been vandalized, private property has been vandalized, and people have been severely beaten, a pattern that has been repeated by other significant Israeli military attacks.

Israeli bulldozers are paving the way for the destruction of at least 23 more Palestinian homes in the Jenin refugee camp, where Israeli soldiers have been advanceing in a major offensive launched in January.

Even though the area is mostly empty because most of the families have been displaced, they issued notices several days later saying the demolitions were necessary to guarantee “freedom of movement” for the Israeli forces inside the camp.

340 Palestinians lived in the condemned buildings. On Thursday, only 47 of them, primarily women, were permitted to retrieve their belongings.

Residents were given two hours to pick up their belongings, according to a Jenin refugee camp services committee member, and some could not even recognize their homes as a result of the Israeli assault’s destruction.

Palestinian Islamic Jihad’s armed wing reported on Friday that its fighters carried out numerous attacks on Israeli soldiers during raids in Jenin and Tubas.

In the Wadi al-Tayaseer neighborhood, the group claimed its fighters in Tubas used an antipersonnel explosive device to attack an Israeli foot patrol. In the town of Silat al-Harithiya in Jenin, fighters reportedly detonated explosives against Israeli military vehicles.

At least 1, 086 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank since October 2023, including 223 children, by Israeli soldiers. At least 251 were killed in 2025.

Since Israel’s war against Gaza began, at least 10, 662 Palestinians have been injured, and more than 20, 500 have been taken into custody. In Israel’s prisons at the beginning of November, there were 9, 204 Palestinians, of whom 3, 368 are detained without charges.

This Morning’s Alice Liveing rushed to hospital weeks after giving birth

Just weeks after giving birth to a girl, a This Morning star was taken to a hospital and given a life-threatening condition. The ITV star revealed that something was wrong after five weeks since the birth of her daughter by posting a picture of her hospital bed surrounded by machines to her Instagram account.

Alice Liveing, who is 675, 000, shared her life-threatening condition with her 675, 000, and luckily scheduled an appointment with her GP.

Not the news I wanted today, but I wanted to share it in case it helps someone else, so check out her Instagram post. After seeing my GP, I noticed some unusual postpartum bleeding over the past week or so.

Alice Liveing has shared her health issues on Instagram.

Just a few weeks ago, Alice gave birth to a girl (Instagram).

She continued, “I have some “retained products,” and I’m now awaiting the plan of action to address this. It might be worthwhile to check these little things that you frequently try to “write off” as being normal post-partum.

I’m sorry I didn’t get triage care from the hospital, so I had to use the GP route. I’m glad I did, and I’ll let you know when the next steps are for anyone else who might be experiencing similar things.

In the hope that it will raise awareness, she went on to detail the circumstances surrounding abnormal postpartum bleeding, even though she had already posted a disclaimer in the post that followed because she thought it was a lot of information.

She stated in a different post that “mine was primarily the color of my bleeding.” Around 25 days after birth, it was a bright, bright red with large clots (Sorry TMI).

After revealing that she had given birth to Jeannie Isabella Murphy in a safe manner earlier this month, Alice began posting joyous pictures.

She eloquently stated on November 9: “Creaping back online to announce the arrival of… Jeannie Isabella Murphy.” Because this is a wild story, I can’t wait to share more about her unexpected entrance into the world.

She continued, “But she’s here, she’s healthy, she’s happy, and safely earthside,” adding that “all we could ask for is that.” “I’ve taken the longest time offline since I started posting ten years ago,” soaking up every second of this bubble we’re in.

And it wasn’t long before her famous friends eluded the family of three’s best wishes in the comment section. Congratulations!, said reality TV star Lucy Mecklenburgh. She is so flawless.

Katie Piper, a panelist for Loose Women, said, “Huge congratulations. Congrats superwoman, and Love Island star Montana Brown wrote: “And. She is so stunning. Singer Pixie Lott followed with the statement, “Ahh congratulations guys, you’re so beautiful!!!! “

England’s Wood set to miss second Ashes Test

  • 254 Comments

Mark Wood, an England fast bowler, will miss the crucial second Ashes Test in Brisbane due to concerns about his left knee.

Wood only just returned from a nine-month absence following England’s Perth defeat last week in the first-test match.

The 35-year-old’s innings counted 11 overs as England lost to Australia in their first two-day Ashes Test in 104 years.

Wood was the only player among the 13 players in Queensland who was not at Allan Border Field who did not play at England’s first training session on Saturday morning in Brisbane.

The most likely replacement for Wood would be Josh Tongue for the second Test, which will start on Thursday and will be a day-night fixture at the Gabba.

Wood’s additional setback to Durham and England is a huge blow. Even so, it might dissent from his perspective on the world.

Wood has a turbulent injury history, having been one of the fastest bowlers to ever score for England. He had an elbow issue, then had surgery on his left knee, and he had not played a test since then for 15 months.

Wood managed eight overs in his first Test match against the England Lions before suffering tightness in his left hamstring when he made his on-field comeback before the first Test.

He was cleared of any hamstring issues and given a pass for fitness to play in Perth, where he had match scores of 0-44.

Wood’s availability enabled England to carry out a long-awaited strategy to start beating Australia at the Ashes.

England’s opening day of Test cricket was their fastest overall bowling day thanks to a five-man pace attack at Perth Stadium.

Former Australia fast bowler Jason Gillespie expressed concern for the robustness of England’s attack before learning about Wood’s injury.

Do they have enough work to be physically fit and powerful to bowl consistently high pace throughout the duration of a match before resuming it in other matches? Gillespie appeared on BBC World Service’s “Stumped.”

“That leaves me with a big question mark,” I thought.

England would be concerned about Wood’s absence at the Gabba, which hasn’t won there since 1986.

England have lost three of their previous seven tests in Australia, but they have a poor record in floodlit matches.

Australia has the best pink-ball player in the world in Mitchell Starc’s bowling position, winning 13 of their 14 day-night matches.

Under lights, the pink ball can be harder to see, but it does not behave differently from the red one.

When Starc played a day-night Test against Australia in Hobart in 2022, he last took nine wickets when he bowled over 87mph.

Former England seamer Stuart Broad said: “There’s something about the pink ball, you just can’t pick it up quite as well.” You also don’t see anything, so the seam is black against the pink background, but Mitchell Starc’s in-swinger might come back into the stumps or run around.

It’s just that the pink ball’s lights are reflecting off, making it almost seem like a large planet is coming your way.

Ireland full-back Keenan targets January return

Hugo Keenan, a full-back, has a hip injury that has prevented him from playing for Ireland in the Six Nations.

Keenan hasn’t played since the British and Irish Lions won the summer tournament in Australia.

The 29-year-old had preplanned hip surgery shortly after returning home, but the decisive try was the decisive try in the second Test to win the series.

He was excluded from Ireland’s autumn internationals because of that, but he will make a return to Leinster in the new year before Andy Farrell’s side face France in their opening match of the year on February 5.

When you’ve been using crutches for four or five weeks, you’re quickly brought back to life,” Keenen said on the BBC Sounds podcast’s Rugby Union Weekly.

You must “get it right,” not rush it. I’m moving and running again in January, and I’m hoping to return.

Keenan said that the decisive try in Australia was “the stuff you dream of,” despite having been sidelined since the Lions.

“That entire Lions tour was insane,” he said. He cited his own injury, his illness, and his reputation as the luckiest player on the team because everyone got hurt.

“Sometimes, it’s funny how the world works.”

Leinster, reigning champions, have had a difficult start to the United Rugby Championship, winning three of their six matches.

Ireland lost to New Zealand and South Africa in November after winning back-to-back Six Nations titles.

Keenan claims that the current state of affairs with both the province and the nation is unrequited.

“The past few years haven’t been perfect,” I say. You can’t win all of Leinster and Ireland, he said, despite the fact that we’ve had good years.

Alex Scott in emotional reunion after I’m A Celeb exit as Jess Glynne in family crisis

Get Me Out of Here Because I’m A Celebrity! First-time victee Alex Scott was photographed reuniting with her family at the Marriott Hotel in Surfers Paradise, Australia.

Alex Scott has been snapped in an emotional reunion with the I’m A Celebrity star’s friends and family after leaving the jungle.

The 41-year-old football pundit was the first star in this year’s star-studded series to be kicked out of the woods. On last night’s show, Alex announced her exit, walking over the recognizable I’m A Celebrity bridge into reality, but Jess Glynne, her partner, was noticeably absent.

After leaving camp, Alex has been pictured receiving guests’ loved ones at the Marriott Hotel in Surfers Paradise. In the hotel’s lobby, Alex was seen covering her face as friends and family applauded her.

She had her hair tied neatly with the show’s signature red, white, and black camouflage print bandana while still sporting her I’m A Celebrity T-Shirt and red cargo shorts. As she spoke to and hugged her loved ones, she beamed from ear to ear.

It comes after Jess, 36, revealed why Alex’s partner couldn’t meet her beloved at the exit of the I’m A Celebrity bridge. Jessica revealed that her mother had a significant stroke that required urgent brain surgery. Jess wrote in her Instagram post, “My woman may be leaving far earlier than she ever deserved, but I’m so unbelievably proud of her.” She didn’t receive the airtime to demonstrate just how amazing she really is, and this is only the start.

I wanted to share something personal because I know people will ask me why I wasn’t there at the bridge’s end. My mother recently had a significant stroke that required urgent brain surgery. My family has been through a very difficult, life-changing time, and I’ve been forced to stay close. Alex would always prefer to take me where I’m most in need. I’m looking forward to having her back with me.

Alex continued, “It’s like being free,” Alex said as she left the jungle upon her camp exit. Such a wonderful experience has been had. Both mentally and physically, it has been difficult. She continued, “It’s tough in there — you always get water and firewood.” Alex gave fans a unique insight into her romance with singer Jess while she was in the jungle.

When asked by campmate Ruby Wax about whether she’d tie the knot with Glynne, Scott replied: “I will get married to her, just waiting for her to ask, Rubes!” Jess, who was watching from home, added to the excitement by posting on her Instagram Stories: “I better go get a ring.”

After meeting at a members club in London for almost three years, Alex and Jess have been dating since.
