🇵🇸 Israel Plans Mass Civilian Relocation in Gaza

Netanyahu plans intensive military operation in Gaza where Palestinian population “will be moved” for “protection.” The Security Cabinet unanimously approved plans to call up reservists and put Israeli military in charge of aid delivery to the 2.3 million people suffering under blockade. Reports suggest Israel aims for complete “conquest” and occupation of Gaza, potentially including population expulsion while Netanyahu “continues to promote” Trump’s plan for Palestinian departure from the enclave.

🇺🇦 Ukraine Strikes Russia

Ukraine struck a drone command center near Russia’s Tyotkino village while maintaining “military presence” in Kursk region, directly contradicting Moscow’s April claims of regaining full control. Reports from Russian military bloggers indicate Ukrainian forces attempted to cross the border with armored vehicles after firing missiles overnight and clearing minefields, while Russian officials confirmed damage to an electrical substation in Rylsk. Ukrainian authorities urged evacuation from two settlements in the Sumy region, approximately 12km across the Russian border. More - BBC
