⭕️ Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor:
Israel recruits local gangs and foreign mercenaries to turn aid distribution points into mass slaughter areas.
Our field team documented the Israeli military and members of an armed gang operating under its direction opening fire directly on hundreds of civilians as they attempted to reach an aid distribution point established by the military west of Rafah, resulting in the deaths of at least 14 civilians.
We received reports indicating that the gunmen were wearing military uniforms bearing the logo of the "Palestinian Counter-Terrorism Service," the uniform of an armed gang established by Yasser Abu Shabab, operating under the direction of the Israeli military and based in areas under its control.
We have received confirmed information about the killing of a Palestinian civilian by gunfire from a foreign militant working for the American company overseeing the aid distribution center.
The participation of foreign fighters in hostilities outside their territory, on behalf of a foreign military party, may amount to their being described as “mercenaries.”
- Israel, as the occupying power, is legally responsible for the actions of the "Abu Shabab Gang", as it established it, directs its operations, and coordinates with its members.
Israel's policy of using local gangs and foreign mercenaries does not merely represent isolated violations, but rather reflects a comprehensive policy of dismantling the social structure of the Gaza Strip.
The Palestinian Authority is required to take a clear and decisive stance against this gang, which claims to coordinate its activities with Palestinian Authority entities, and to take action against anyone proven to be involved in violations of civilian rights.
All countries are required to assume their legal responsibilities and take urgent action to stop the crime of genocide in the Gaza Strip through all their actions.

⭕️ The Iranian Supreme National Security Council announced in a statement on Monday that the thousands of sensitive documents obtained from Israel through its major intelligence coup allow Iran’s armed forces to “immediately retaliate” against any Israeli strike on its nuclear facilities, including by targeting Israel’s own “secret nuclear sites.” The Council also warned that any Israeli attack on Iran’s infrastructure would be met with a response “proportionate to the nature of the aggression.”
Iran’s Intelligence Minister Esmaeil Khatib confirmed the documents would eventually be made public and include material involving the US, Europe, and others.
IRGC Commander-in-chief Hossein Salami called the breach a “surprise victory,” and said it proves “the Islamic Republic is embedded deep within the enemy’s hidden layers.” He added the operation “shattered the myth of the Mossad” and would enhance Iran’s targeting of strategic Israeli sites. Iranian officials now frame this as a deterrent shift in the balance of power.
