What do people in Gaza think of the appointment of Yahya Sinwar as the new leader of Hamas?
Sinwar was unanimously elected as head of the group’s political bureau, succeeding the late Ismail Haniyeh, who was assassinated in an attack on his residence in Tehran last week.
Sinwar was born in 1962 in the Khan Younis refugee camp in the southern Gaza Strip and is one of the founders of the Hamas movement in the late 1980s.
An Israeli court had previously sentenced him to life in prison for killing Palestinian collaborators and Israeli soldiers. He was released in 2011 along with more than 1,000 other Palestinian prisoners in exchange for Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit.
He was appointed leader and head of Hamas in 2017 and was re-elected in 2021.

Israeli authorities demolished the slain Palestinian Moamen Fayez Al-Masalma’s house in the occupied West Bank city of Dura. At dawn, the occupation forces stormed Dura, surrounded Masalma’s house, and forced the family out of the house before blowing it up. They even mockingly put up a banner equating Hamas to the so-called Islamic State, despite Masalma having had zero connection to any group.
The demolition of Masalma’s house comes after Israeli forces killed him on April 1 in the ‘48 occupied territories. Authorities had notified the family of the demolition of the house on June 5.
Recent reports recorded the demolition of at least 135 structures, including inhabited homes, uninhabited homes, and agricultural facilities, in the West Bank and East Jerusalem in July alone. The report also noted that the Israeli army issued further demolition notices for 16 homes and other structures in several West Bank provinces.

The anti-fascist counter-protest in Walthamstow, London, has attracted massive crowds. People are still anticipating the over 100 planned far-right events tonight, including in Walthamstow. Meanwhile, thousands of police officers have also been deployed, with more on standby.
Several hundred protesters have also gathered elsewhere in London. Protests in other cities across the UK are said to match the vast numbers seen in Walthamstow.
Counter-protesters have been able to largely keep the far right off the streets for now, successfully organizing a human shield for vulnerable migrant communities. However, how the events unfold further into the night is yet to be seen.

NOW: At least 1,000 protesters rallying against the racist pogroms across the UK have flooded the streets of London. While the far right is rumored to target dozens of “hit list” areas tonight, counter-protesters, mainly consisting of migrants, are planning to defend their communities. red. media is on the ground, speaking to the counter-protesters.
Thousands of police officers are said to already be on the streets in the capital, with 1,300 more on standby. The UK’s Home Office has warned that anyone “involved in criminal disorder or violent thuggery [...] will have to pay the price.”
However, while authorities claim to be determined to crack down on the pogroms, only 425 people have been arrested in almost a week of racist mobs wreaking havoc daily. At the same time, counter-protesters have been urged to stay home rather than organize themselves in resistance to the racist violence.

Far-right pogroms are shaking large parts of the UK, with looming fears of an ever more violent night ahead today. Police say at least 100 further far-right gatherings are planned in several cities. Police say 100 new far-right events are scheduled for today.
A hit list of 39 targets for right-wing extremist attacks is circulating on the internet, mainly offices of immigration and asylum authorities. Previously, mosques and migrant businesses were attacked during night-time riots. So far, only 425 people have been arrested.
Counter-demonstrators are planning to mobilize to protect people at risk. While community leaders and politicians have urged people to stay at home and “let the police do their job,” more and more activists and migrants are mobilizing, disillusioned with the state that became the fertile ground for the mass pogroms in the first place.

New reports of vast massacres of Rohingya are emerging from Myanmar’s Rakhine State. Upwards of 200 Rohingya, attempting to flee the escalating fighting between the country’s military and the resistance, are said to have been slaughtered by a drone strike in Maungdaw township by the anti-junta Arakan Army (AA).
In recent days, the AA has reportedly taken control over the mainly Rohingya town close to the country’s border with Bangladesh. It is said that the Rohingya had been “entirely expelled” from downtown Maungdaw and were now trapped along the Naf River, which forms the township’s long border with Bangladesh.
The anti-junta AA, representing Rakhine’s Buddhist majority, has been making significant gains in the state as the resistance across the country is dealing heavy blows to the military government. While the military’s track record of committing atrocities against the Rohingya is no secret, numerous reports of the AA doing the same continue to surface as well.

Venezuela’s military has sworn “absolute loyalty” to President Maduro for the second time this past week. This most recent statement is a response to opposition leader Maria Corina Machado, who is now openly calling for a military coup.
The open letter from Machado to the military came as pro-coup protests appear to have been quelled for now, despite the US State Department formally siding with Machado and declaring her candidate, Edmundo Gonzalez, as the winner of the July 28 elections.

Palestine Action activists have once again targeted the Israeli weapons industry, hitting a Bristol-based research, development, and manufacturing hub for Elbit Systems, Israel’s largest arms manufacturer.
The group continues to tirelessly target the Israeli war machine in the UK, now even expanding its struggle to other European countries and the US.
The group mainly targets Elbit Systems and its supply chain, which is significantly disrupting its weapons production. Elbit’s weapons are used extensively in Israel’s destructive war against the Gaza Strip and its aggression in Lebanon.

On this day 79 years ago, the US dropped the world's first-ever atomic bomb on the Japanese city of Hiroshima. The bomb killed around 140,000 people, most of whom were civilians. The survivors were left deeply traumatized and suffered the horrific impacts of radiation. None of them have ever received reparations.
The US has argued that the bombing was a defensive measure, but evidence has since shown that they knew Japan was on the verge of surrendering. Despite this, several US military officials argued that the bomb was unnecessary to defeat Japan.
In reality, the attack took place so that the US could send a message of intimidation to the Soviet Union.
But just one nuclear catastrophe wasn’t enough: three days later the US bombed Nagasaki on August 9. Combined, the US killed over 250,000 people using these nuclear bombs. This amounts to more than twice the number of US troops killed in the Pacific during WWII.

Hezbollah launched a counterattack on northern occupied Palestine following an Israeli strike that killed four people in southern Lebanon. Videos circulating showed the drones flying freely without being intercepted by the Israeli Iron Dome defense system.
The attack targeted the headquarters of the Golani Brigade and the headquarters of Aguz Unit 621 of the Israeli military northern command. Israeli media reported at least 19 people taken to hospitals, among them one in critical condition.
The Israeli military said it identified several drones entering the airspace from Lebanon in the attack and that the Iron Dome and the others intercepted one that impacted the Nahariya area, causing casualties.

Israeli occupation forces have killed 13 Palestinians across the occupied West Bank in the last 24 hours. five of those were killed in the latest attack on Jenin city in two drone strikes. The intense raids spread through different cities, with more intense in Tubas and Jenin.
During the raids, Palestinian resistance fighters exchanged fire and made use of explosives against the invading forces. Israeli forces razed the streets and destroyed infrastructure. Ambulances were prevented from reaching injured people, and hospitals were surrounded by Israeli military vehicles.
Israel has intensified its attacks and assassinations against Palestinian fighters across the West Bank in the last weeks. The continuously failing attempts to uproot the resistance are seen as a means to avoid the opening of another front in the awaited regional escalation with Lebanon’s Hezbollah and Iran.

Far-right mobs in the UK are now using petrol bombs. In Belfast, north of Ireland, anti-immigrant pogroms descended into violence with some throwing petrol bombs at the police. Those wreaking havoc were from the loyalist pro-British community.
Among the targets hit by far-right mobs yesterday was the shop owned by Bashir, who we previously reported on as one of the immigrant-owned stores that was torched on Saturday night.
Far-right pogroms continued across England and spreading to the south of the country with skirmishes seen in towns such as Plymouth, where previously protests had only been seen in the northern regions of the country.
This is the fourth consecutive night of riots in the UK, all product of a fake news campaign blaming Muslims for a stabbing incident in the town of Southport last week.

Happy birthday to the Mexican revolutionary leader, Emiliano Zapata! Born today in rural Mexico in 1879, he led the armed farmers uprising that eventually snowballed into the Mexican Revolution of 1911. Zapata commanded the “Liberation Army of the South,” fighting for land rights and for power to be in the hands of the peasants.
Beyond the fight for land, Zapata stressed the vital connection between the struggle of the Mexican peasantry and the fight for social justice and material necessities: “We fight for the land and not for illusions that give us nothing to eat […] With or without elections, the people are chewing the cud of bitterness.”
Emiliano Zapata’s life was tragically cut short when he was gunned down by federal forces in 1919. Today his legacy lives on through Zapatista revolutionary groups that emerged in the mid-1990s fighting for land reform and justice, such as the Zapatista Army of National Liberation (EZLN).

Genocide doesn’t matter because Trump bad? Pro-Palestine protesters disrupted a campaign rally by US Vice President Kamala Harris with chants like “We won’t vote for genocide.” The seemingly pressed Kamala found few sympathetic words for Gaza in response, answering, “If you want Donald Trump to win, just say that.” Her apparently equally ignorant voter base cheered her genocide-pleasing “clapback.”

In an absolutely ironic turn of events, the US and UK’s ambassadors to Japan, the former being the very country that nuked the city of Nagasaki, refused to attend the city’s memorial ceremony. Why, you ask? It’s because Mayor Shiro Suzuki had decided not to invite Israel.

Only three out of 24 battalions of the Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, have been completely eliminated, according to forensic analyses by conflict think tanks. The military reality in Gaza thus stands in stark contrast to Netanyahu’s arrogant statements to the US Congress: “Victory is in sight.”
Evaluations by the Critical Threats Project and the Institute for the Study of War reveal the successful flexibility of the Qassam Brigades to transform from a frontline warfare-capable army to a guerrilla force capable of withstanding a protracted war.
Israel claims to have taken down half of the Qassam Brigade’s commanders and over 14,000 combatants. Their enemy disputes those figures, though it has not offered a casualty count. The Qassam Brigades have boasted of recruiting “thousands” of new fighters since the war began.

Dozens of Palestinians were killed as Israel concentrated its deadly attacks on the central Gaza Strip. The latest of the attacks targeted several homes and a tent camp housing hundreds of displaced Palestinians in central Gaza’s Deir Al-Balah.
Deir Al-Balah city and other parts of the middle area have seen at least five major attacks within just a few days, as Israel ramps up its attacks, unleashing an intense bombing campaign on central Gaza, an area with a significant concentration of aid teams and displaced people.
The most recent wave of displacement orders in central and southern Gaza has led to the renewed displacement of around 200,000 people, however, the Norwegian Refugee Council (NRC) warns of fears of yet another wave of forcible displacement: “People are living in a constant state of unpredictability, not knowing what is going to come next, be it more displacements, more relocations, or a regional escalation.”

Amid the uprising that toppled the government in Bangladesh, red. media spoke to protesters at the heart of the political earthquake. A day after the now-resigned Prime Minister Sheikh Hasina fled the country, the parliament was dissolved following her failed crackdown on anti-government protests.
The situation in Dhaka remains highly tense, with a cloud of uncertainty hanging over who will step in to fill the void left by Hasina’s 15-year rule. However, the student-led movement remains a formidable force. Their influence was evident in their demand for the dissolution of parliament this morning, threatening to renew their mobilization.
Some key protest organizers have proposed Muhammad Yunus as the head of a transitional government. While Yunus is known for criticizing capitalism and focusing on addressing social inequality and poverty, his proposed solutions lean more towards reforms rather than the sweeping systemic change many protesters call for.

Israel handed over 89 bodies of Palestinians killed as part of its genocidal war in Gaza to the enclave’s Ministry of Health. Israeli authorities have provided no information whatsoever about the victims, leaving countless families without knowledge about their killed relatives.
Many of the bodies are unrecognizable, and several are said to be missing organs and other body parts, leading many to think that Israeli authorities are guilty of harvesting the organs from abducted Gazans.
At least 2,000 bodies were stolen by Israeli forces in Gaza since October 7, many from the dozens of cemeteries the Israeli military destroyed as part of their ongoing military offensives.

Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro calls out the EU claiming to be concerned with Venezuela while they ignore the genocide in Gaza.
The comments were made in a meeting with the military police high command who have led the efforts against right-wing protesters attempting to overturn the results of the presidential elections.
Last week saw intense violence from opposition supporters calling for a coup. Hospitals, food storage centers, and public buildings were torched and vandalized. In response, Maduro confirmed that more than 2,000 involved in the riots have been arrested since last Monday and that the “fascist outbreak” has been controlled.

Yemen's Armed Forces shot down the seventh US MQ-9 Reaper while it was carrying out a reconnaissance mission over Yemen's air space. A video published by the Ansarallah media office showed the downed drone armed with missiles.
Yemen's armed forces have shot down several US MQ-9s over Yemeni air space since the US and its allies started their aggression against Yemen in an attempt to deter the Ansarallah government from supporting Gaza.
The Downed drone is one of the US' most advanced UAVs, and it has been used for over a decade, carrying out strikes across the world. The US has also flown MQ-9s over Gaza, with at least six known to have provided intelligence to Israel.
