"Those attending should be aware that showing support for a proscribed organisation is an offence under the Terrorism Act, and we will not hesitate to act where the law is broken," said commander Claire Smart.

The major offensive that Israel launched on Lebanon on Wednesday hit previously untouched districts of Beirut and attempted to separate the Lebanese front from the ceasefire agreed between the United States and Iran.

"I have never chosen to adopt the title of 'refugee,' yet it keeps haunting me. It is scribbled on my Palestinian national identification card and follows my name in human rights conferences."

In situations like this, airspace closures can be announced through NOTAMs with only hours of notice. Airlines and passengers often find out at roughly the same time. Even when routes reopen, aircraft may no longer follow the same paths they originally did. Airlines may be required to detour around restricted airspace, extend flight paths, or reroute aircraft through different hubs.

Human rights groups, UN investigators, and Israeli legal organizations say torture and sexual violence of Palestinian detainees is part of a wider system of repression.

It was just really traumatizing. You could hear it, you could feel it. The house was shaking. [It was] the scariest thing I've ever been through. We all slept downstairs in the living room, away from windows.

There was already quite a narrow corridor that all aircraft leaving Europe were having to fly through because of the Israeli operations in Palestine. Everybody was having to fly through a narrow corridor along the Black Sea and now the airspace they were using to go around the conflict has closed, so there's no way to pass through.

The World Health Organization has suspended medical evacuations from Gaza to Egypt after a contract worker was killed by Israeli fire, with further evacuations on hold until further notice.

A terrifying moment. We appeal for your support. The need for truthful, grassroots reporting is urgent at this cataclysmic historical moment. Yet, Trump-aligned billionaires and other allies have taken over many legacy media outlets - the culmination of a decades-long campaign to place control of the narrative into the hands of the political right. We refuse to let Trump's blatant propaganda machine go unchecked.

On March 1, Israel closed Gaza's Rafah border crossing with Egypt. The Israeli military's Coordinator of Government Activities in the Territories (COGAT) said the move was a part of several necessary security adjustments that have been implemented in the region due to the war with Iran. The Rafah crossing is considered vital for the delivery of humanitarian aid and the evacuation of critically ill patients from Gaza.

Israeli settlements in the West Bank, which Israel has occupied since 1967, are illegal under international law. Efrat, about 7 miles (12km) south of Jerusalem, is home to about 12,000 Israelis. The Palestinian Authority's Colonization and Wall Resistance Commission said in a statement that the initiative constitutes a clear violation of international law and a blatant favouring of the occupation authorities, referring to Israel.

The number of people moving through the crossing is expected to be very limited, with the restriction that only those traveling on foot can move across the border. In the first days of the reopening, just fifty people are expected to cross the border between Gaza and Egypt in each direction, Egyptian state-linked media reported on Monday. Share Earlier, an Israeli defence official said the crossing could hold between 150 and 200 people altogether in both directions.

But urgency should never become an excuse for illusion, spectacle, or political shortcuts. The contrast between rhetoric and reality could not be sharper. While United States President Donald Trump and a group of world leaders gathered in Davos, Switzerland, to sign the charter of the so-called Board of Peace and unveil glossy reconstruction plans, the killing in Gaza continued. Since the ceasefire came into effect on October 10, no fewer than 480 Palestinians have been killed.

Al Jazeera Forum discusses the regional impact of Israel's genocidal war against the Palestinian people in Gaza. Four months into the Gaza ceasefire, Palestinians in the devastated territory are coming to terms with the post-war situation. At this year's edition of the Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, delegates are focusing on the power shifts created by Israel's genocide. A new committee of technocrats is expected to be in charge of Gaza's governance.
