Newly released footage from Hezbollah shows a tense battlefield moment in southern Lebanon, appearing to capture an Israeli soldier scrambling for cover as a drone strike targets a military position near the strategic Beaufort Castle. The video, released by Hezbollah, claims to depict a coordinated drone operation against Israeli troops positioned around the hilltop fortress. In the aftermath visuals, the strike is seen impacting the area where the soldier reportedly took shelter, with additional damage appearing to a nearby Humvee. The incident is reported to have taken place just a day after Israeli forces seized Beaufort Castle, a key elevated position overlooking southern Lebanon. #Hezbollah #Israel #Lebanon #BeaufortCastle #DroneStrike #IDF #MiddleEastConflict #BreakingNews #MilitaryFootage #Netanyahu #SouthernLebanon #WarNews

The Gush Etzion Regional Council in the Israeli-occupied West Bank has publicly admitted that ritualistic sexual abuse of children occurred within its communities, a confession that marks the first time a governing body in Israel's religious-Zionist settler sector has broken ranks with years of denial.
The extraordinary statement came on 27 May 2026 in direct response to a broadcast by Israeli public broadcasterKan 11, whose investigative programme 'Zman Emet' aired accounts from five women, most of whom did not know each other, who described virtually identical patterns of multi-perpetrator ritualistic sexual abuse in the same geographic areas.
The admission did not materialise in isolation. It is the culmination of more than a year of survivor testimony, Knesset hearings, rabbinical warnings, and police investigations that have shaken Israeli society to its core, forcing a reckoning within the country's religious communities over decades of alleged institutional silence.
The broadcast by journalist Roni Zinger on Kan 11's 'Zman Emet' programme presented what investigators described as a compellingly coherent body of evidence. The five women who testified had largely never met one another, yet they described strikingly similar patterns: organised, multi-perpetrator abuse carried out in the form of ritualised ceremonies, conducted in the Gush Etzion area south of Jerusalem and Bethlehem.
The programme did not rely on testimony alone. It also presented audio recordings, filmed confrontations with alleged perpetrators, and statements from mental health professionals who had accompanied the complainants for years, building a picture that the broadcaster said left little room for doubt.
The council's response was swift and unambiguous. In its official statement, the Gush Etzion Regional Council condemned the abuse in direct terms. 'The acts described, attributed among others to people from Gush Etzion, are an expression of pure evil and moral depravity that has no place in human society, and certainly not in our community,' the statement read.

The council added: 'We wish to state in the clearest possible terms: we condemn acts of abuse and those who commit them. Sexual abuse, and certainly that described as systematic and ritualistic, is a heinous crime that wounds not only the victims, but the entire fabric of our community.'
The council also published a list of direct contact numbers for its security hotline, welfare officials, community psychologists, and sexual assault support centre helplines, urging victims to come forward discreetly and immediately. 'Our hearts are with the victims, wherever they are,' the statement concluded. According to JFeed, the admission is now expected to trigger the reopening of police complaints that were previously closed, as well as a significant expansion of the criminal investigation.
The Kan 11 broadcast did not emerge in a vacuum. The groundwork for public acknowledgement was laid through a series of Knesset hearings beginning in 2025, where survivors testified in harrowing detail. The most significant session was a joint meeting on 3 June 2025 of the Knesset's Committee on the Status of Women and Gender Equality, chaired by MK Pnina Tameno-Shete of National Unity, and the Special Committee on Young Israelis, chaired by MK Naama Lazimi of The Democrats. The session was convened following an investigative report published on 2 April 2025 by Israel Hayom journalist Noam Barkan.
Survivor Yael Ariel told the committee she had experienced ritual abuse from the age of five until her late teens, and was forced to harm other children during that time. She said she had received testimonies from several women who alleged that 'doctors, educators, police officers, and past and present members of the Knesset' were involved in the abuse. She filed a police complaint that was closed after a few months. 'Speaking out today in the Knesset is a historic moment,' she said.
Yael Shitrit, another survivor, described abuse that began when she was three years old. 'You have no idea what ritual abuse is,' Shitrit told committee members. 'The human brain cannot comprehend it. You can't imagine what it means to program a three-year-old girl through rape and sadism so they can do whatever they want without anyone knowing.' Shitrit described being trafficked across Israel from ceremony to ceremony. 'Naked men stood in a circle. My therapist, her husband, and her son harmed me, and there were dozens of other girls and boys who harmed me.' She said police had known of the cases for a year but lacked the tools to act: 'The people who will fall are very, very senior figures. These people run communities and government agencies.'

A third survivor, who testified anonymously, described abuse beginning at age 11, escalating by age 14 to 'sadistic clubs' run by well-known individuals, where she was tied to a post with handcuffs. She described rituals involving the drinking of menstrual blood and the slaughter of animals. 'They told me no one would believe me if I spoke out.' She said she filed a police complaint five years earlier and presented a recorded admission by one of the alleged perpetrators, but the case was closed twice due to alleged lack of evidence.
Dr Naama Goldberg, head of the NGO Lo Omdot MeNegged (Hebrew: 'Not Standing Idly By'), which supports prostitution survivors, told the committee she had first received descriptions of sadistic child abuse several years ago. 'The accounts sounded absurd,' she said. 'But the testimonies kept coming and would not let up. They described gang rape by men, and sometimes by women. The abuse was filmed, and drugs were used. There were ritual practices and symbolism. I presented the police with written testimonies from five women. To this day, no one has contacted me.' Ch.-Supt. Anat Yakir of the Israel Police told the committee that a national unit was reviewing all complaints, describing them as 'a top priority in the intelligence division.'
The Kan 11 broadcast also built on a public intervention by one of religious Zionism's most senior rabbinical figures. In January 2026, Rabbi Yaakov Medan, co-head of Yeshivat Har Etzion, one of the most respected yeshivas in the religious-Zionist world, located in Gush Etzion itself, went on record to say that parents of teenage boys had approached him with what he described as 'clear' reports of ritualistic sexual abuse carried out under the guise of religious or social ceremonies. Medan delivered his warning via the 'Mashav' YouTube channel.
Medan said the alleged perpetrators were not outsiders but people embedded in daily community life, including in synagogues and shared religious study settings. He issued a pointed critique of what he called 'social narcissism,' the communal tendency to dismiss abuse allegations in order to protect a collective self-image of purity. 'Rabbis, this is happening,' he stated. 'A desire to see the community as pure, beautiful and clean makes it harder to confront serious wrongdoing. The cost of denial is borne by children.' His intervention marked a turning point, generating national debate and placing religious leaders under direct pressure to act.
The Knesset Research and Information Centre noted, in the context of the December 2025 Knesset hearings, that Israel has no legal definition for 'ritual abuse,' a gap that hascomplicated detection and prosecution and allowed cases to be closed repeatedly despite survivor testimonies. The Times of Israel reported in August 2025 that allegations had extended to sitting Knesset members: one MK, Hanoch Milwidsky, was reported to have been questioned by Lahav 433, Israel's serious crimes unit, while a second lawmaker, Avraham Bezalel, resigned from the Knesset following what Haaretz described as allegations of inappropriate acts.
An official statement does not undo a single ceremony, a single room, a single night that should never have happened.

Hezbollah’s FPV attack drones reportedly targeted Israeli troops in al-Bayada, southern Lebanon, during escalating border clashes near the Israel-Lebanon frontier. Reports suggest multiple Israeli soldiers were killed as dramatic battlefield footage and drone warfare tactics intensify tensions between Hezbollah and the IDF. The incident highlights the growing use of kamikaze FPV drones in modern Middle East conflicts amid fears of wider regional escalation.

Almost half of the global Jewish population (~46%) are Israeli settler-squatters: They overwhelmingly support the ethnic cleansing of Gaza (82%) and the current US-Israel war on Iran (93%). Most of the rest of us live as privileged white settlers in colonies like so-called Amerika (41% of Jews). Those of us living in settler-colonies outside of Israel also neglect our responsibilities as settlers toward Indigenous Land Back and Black self-determination movements where we are; On Turtle Island, Black and Indigenous genocides have persisted for 533 years and counting.
When I state that virtually all Jews and Jewish formations are Zionist, I am including most of the very small number of Jews and Jewish organizations who self-identify as “anti-zionist” or “pro-Palestine.” Scratch the surface and you’ll find quickly that most are liberal Zionists, as Lara Kilani and the team at Good Shepherd Collective frequently note. All Jews who claim “non-zionism” are Zionist in their politics because they always disparage the resistance and conflate colonizer with colonized (ex. “We condemn both violence by Hamas and violence by Israel” or “A co-existent future on the land for both Palestinians and Israelis/Jews”).

As Skwawkbox reported on Tuesday 17 March 2026, Israeli government minister’s daughter Shoshana Strook has been found dead in suspicious circumstances. She had just appointed lawyers to pursue justice for the crimes against her. Strook had spent months speaking publicly about allegations of physical and sexual abuse. In several social media posts she outlined how her mother, father, and brother had abused her since childhood. Authorities in Israel have claimed to be investigating the circumstances of her death.
However, Strook’s own words before she died are extremely worrying, to say the least. But the evidence may have already started to be erased.
Strook had accused her mother, far-right settlements minister Orit Strook, along with her father and one of her brothers, of raping her for years during her childhood and filming it. In December 2025, Shoshana Strook warned her Facebook followers that she was in danger of murder to silence her. And she told them not to believe a word of it if she was found dead and it was called suicide, or an ‘accident’. A screenshot of the post, translated from Hebrew, is below in case the original is scrubbed:
That Facebook post still – at the time of writing – exists. However, Shoshana’s name on that page is “Strock”, rather than “Strook”. However, the two are interchangeable in Hebrew, which does not use vowels in the same way as European languages – and “Strock” is even Orit’s name on her official Knesset profile.
Or it was, early on Tuesday evening. By the time of writing, that profile has been deleted or otherwise made inaccessible:
As such, so have any records of the same page on the Wayback Machine archive and archive.li.
But too late – Skwawkbox had already saved a screenshot of the Knesset page proof:
Strock has not, at the time of writing, announced her resignation from her ministerial post or her position as a member of the Knesset, so that potential excuse for deleting her page doesn’t apply. And the scrubbing of the Strook-Strock interchangeability hasn’t – at least yet – been thorough enough. Orit Strockis still demonstrably namedin coverage of Shoshana’s ‘suicide’ (archive) by the Times of Israel:
She is also named as “Strock” by the Jewish News Syndicate, Haaretz, the Jerusalem Post and others. Shoshana Strock’s Facebook page is that of Shoshana Strook and vice versa, as also shown by the numerous videos she uploaded straight to it.
As Skwawkbox said in its first report of Shoshana Strock’s death, the issue of child rape among Zionists is not limited to Israelis or the Israeli extreme right. The Netanyahu regime is currently ignoring well over 2,000 extradition requests for alleged and convicted paedophiles who fled there from other countries. Others have been convicted in the US, while the Zionist UK Labour party right also has a long record of paedophiles and other sex offenders.
Israeli psychotherapist and trauma expert Dr Anat Gur, head of the Bar-Ilan University trauma therapy program, has said that she believes organised child rape in Israel is widespread:
Organized child rape is one of the most horrific things I’ve encountered. It’s likely much more widespread than we think. It’s happening in places we least expect.
Strook’s death mirrors the long list of suspicious deathsamong victims and associates of serial child-rapist and Israeli spy Jeffrey Epstein. These deaths include that of Virginia Giuffre, Epstein’s most well-known victim – who was also found dead after saying she would not. Jean-Luc Brunel, the French ‘modelling agent’ accused of procuring underage girls for Epstein, was found dead of supposed suicide in a French prison in 2022.
If Shoshana Strock’s death is suspicious because of her recent comment that claims of her suicide would be false, then the disappearance of her mother’s official “Strock” page does nothing to dispel those suspicions.

- the West Bank isn't a "disputed territory." It's an ongoing robbery, and the IDF is the armed wing of the real estate mafia.

Gaza is being bombed right now!

With the world captivated by and concerned over the Trump administration’s weekend abduction of Venezuelan President Nicolás Maduro, Israel bombed the Gaza Strip and Lebanon, continuing its devastating US-backed response to the Hamas-led October 2023 attack.
In Gaza, where Israel faces widespread accusations of genocide, an Israeli strike on Monday “hit a tent housing displaced people, killing a 5-year-old girl and her uncle and wounding two other children,” the Associated Pressreported, citing officials at Nasser Hospital. “Family members wept over the bodies as they were brought to the hospital.” The Israel Defense Forces used one of its common claims for when it kills civilians. According to the AP, the IDF said that it struck a Hamas militant who planned an imminent attack on Israeli troops in Gaza, the strike complied with the ceasefire agreement, and it was conducted in a targeted way to limit civilian harm.
The tent strike in the Muwasi area northwest of Khan Younis came a day after Israeli forces shot and killed at least three Palestinians in that city on Sunday. According to Reuters, “Medics reported that the dead included a 15‑year‑old boy, a fisherman killed outside areas still occupied by Israel in the enclave, and a third man who was shot and killed east of the city in areas under Israeli control.”
Israel has killed at least 422 Palestinians in Gaza and wounded 1,189 since reaching the ceasefire deal with Hamas three months ago. The overall death toll in the strip has climbed to at least 71,388, with another 171,269 people injured, according to local health officials. Global experts warn the true counts are likely far higher.
Meanwhile, according to Al Jazeera, journalists on the ground in the illegally occupied Palestinian territory observed that the IDF “has spent the past 24 hours expanding the so-called ‘yellow line’ in eastern Gaza,” or the boundary behind which Israeli forces officially withdrew as part of the October deal.
Al Jazeera‘s Hani Mahmoud reported from Gaza City:
The ongoing Israeli attacks on the ground, the expansion of the “yellow line,” are meant to eat up more of the territory across the eastern part, really shrinking the total area where people are sheltering.
Everyone is cramped here. The population here not just doubled but tripled in many of the neighborhoods, given the fact that none of these people is able to go back to their neighborhoods. We’re talking about Zeitoun, Shujayea, as well as Tuffah.
It was not until the past few minutes that the sounds of hums, the drones buzzing, faded away, but it had been going on for the past night and all of yesterday. Ongoing explosions that could be heard clearly from here.
Mahmoud also reported that “there’s nothing on the ground other than the headlines we’ve been reading over the past couple of days, the expectation now that within days the Rafah crossing is going to open and allow for movement in and out of Gaza. So far, we know the Israeli military is pushing for Rafah to be just a one-way exit.”
Throughout the Israeli assault, far-right officials in Israel have ramped up calls to ethnically cleanse Gaza of its Palestinian population and recolonize the territory. There has also been a surge in violence from Israeli settlers and soldiers against Palestinians in the illegally occupied West Bank over the past two years, as well as renewed settlement-building efforts there.
Laila Al-Arian, an American journalist and executive producer for Al Jazeera‘s documentary series “Fault Lines,” said on social media Sunday, “With eyes on Venezuela, Israel is bombing Gaza and escalating its assault on the West Bank.”
In November 2024, nearly a year before the ceasefire agreement in Hamas, Israel struck a deal with the Lebanese political and paramilitary group Hezbollah—and, since then, as with Gaza, has repeatedly violated it.
Israel launched strikes on eastern and southern Lebanon on Monday after an IDF spokesperson said the military would target alleged Hezbollah sites in Kfar Hatta and Ain el-Tineh, and Hamas sites in Annan and al-Manara.
Al Jazeera reported that “Lebanon’s Health Ministry said a drone strike on a car in the southern village of Braikeh earlier Monday wounded two people. The Israeli military said the strike targeted two Hezbollah members.”
