Israel has classified wood and tarpaulins as “dual use” to block 8,600 emergency shelter kits from entering Gaza, the IOM said, with almost all of Gaza’s population in need of shelter and only 17 percent of winter needs met as El Niño threatens flooding.

We received a call about an attack and went to support the family. This is 78-year-old Mustafa, a farmer from Abu Falah in the West Bank. Invaders attacked his property at 1:15 a.m. on Sunday, 9/27. Four of his vehicles, including a tractor, were burned, and the windows of his home were busted out.

For Israel’s E1 settlement plan to become a reality, it must address a persistent thorn in its side: Khan al-Ahmar, a village of roughly 200 members of the Jahalin Bedouin community and home to the area’s only elementary school serving Bedouin children.

This Village Has Been Fighting Israel’s Demolition Orders for Years. It May Be on Its Last Stand.
A new order for Khan al-Ahmar’s destruction failed to attract the international attention that had protected it in the past, and residents fear they can no longer stop the bulldozers.

Last year, a pastor saw masked immigration agents arresting someone at her church and filmed them. DHS denied they were there. A year later, DHS finally acknowledged the incident — days after WH border czar Tom Homan claimed "no one has been arrested at a church." religionnews.com/2026/09/30/t...

Do federal immigration agents make arrests at churches? Depends on what day you ask.
(RNS) — Over the past year, the Trump administration has issued contradictory and, at times, seemingly false statements about whether federal agents have conducted operations at churches.

💢 Israeli forces kill three Palestinians in Gaza, including a 12-year-old boy, despite ceasefire
 
🔸 In Rafah's al-Mawasi area, Israeli forces shot and killed 12-year-old Mohammed Saif al-Din al-Shakhreeti as he sat outside his family's displacement tent.

🔸 An Israeli drone strike on Jouls Street in central Nuseirat refugee camp killed one person.

🔸 Qusai Muammar Hillis died of wounds sustained in an Israeli strike on Gaza City weeks ago.

🔸 Israeli forces stationed east of Deir al-Balah shot and wounded several people, and a drone strike near the al-Iqlimi junction in Khan Younis's al-Mawasi area wounded others, including children.

🔸 Israeli tanks fired heavily toward displacement tents in Rafah's al-Mawasi and southern Khan Younis, shelled eastern Khan Younis, and fired on the Hamad City area and the al-Salateen and al-Atatra areas west of Beit Lahia.

The attacks continue despite the ceasefire in effect since October 2025 and President Trump's July 31 announcement of a "new agreement" to begin the second phase of the Gaza "roadmap." Almost all of Gaza's population still lives in tents, shelters, and damaged buildings, with reconstruction blocked.

Huh. After Israel destroyed Gaza's sewage treatment systems, raw sewage flows from Gaza into the Mediterranean. That, in turn, has created a water crisis in Israel because the Gaza sewage has created a giant, toxic algal bloom which just shut down 5 out of 6 of Israel's water desalinization plants.
