US-Israeli genocide in Gaza
The Israeli army continues its deadly strikes on the Gaza Strip, killing more Palestinians in the besieged territory. Eight civilians were killed in an attack on a residential building in northern Gaza City while two others lost their lives in the Nuseirat refugee camp in central Gaza. Israeli forces also targeted various areas of Rafah city in the south. The strikes came a day after the regime’s attacks killed at least 100 Palestinians across Gaza. Israel’s genocidal war has claimed the lives of over 37,500 people and wounded nearly 86,000 Palestinians since October.
Palestinians resist
Palestinian resistance groups have released footage of attacks on Israeli forces in the Gaza Strip, including along the regime’s key Netzarim supply corridor. The footage shows the military wing of the Mujahideen Brigades launch rockets at Israeli targets. The military wing of the Palestinian Liberation Organization also says it has launched a separate operation against Israeli forces stationed west of Rafah in southern Gaza. The al-Aqsa Brigades says it struck the troopers with rocket and artillery fire. The operations come a day after Hamas said it killed two Israeli forces in eastern Gaza City. The regime has so far confirmed the death of over 300 troopers in its ground incursion into Gaza. Palestinians, however, say the real number is much higher.
Korean Peninsula tensions
Now, to the Korean peninsula, where tensions are mounting again. A nuclear-powered US aircraft carrier has arrived in South Korea for three-way military exercises with the host nation and Japan. The USS Theodore Roosevelt strike group will take part in the drills that are expected to start in June. South Korea’s navy says exercises show the willingness of the allies to respond to, what it called, advancing North Korean threats. Pyongyang has always decried similar drills as rehearsals for an invasion. Earlier this week, Russian President Vladimir Putin visited North Korea and signed a deal with leader Kim Jong Un that included a mutual defense pledge. South Korea says the deal poses a threat to its security and summoned the Russian ambassador. Pyongyang, however, says the agreement is strictly defensive and will speed up the creation of a world free of hegemony.
