Returned bodies to Gaza were severely disfigured, making identification nearly impossible. Medical teams received hundreds of frozen, numbered bodies showing injuries and signs of restraint. With no DNA testing available, families relied on clothing or birthmarks to identify loved ones. Doctors say freezing and decomposition prevent confirming whether organs were removed. Families reported burns, gunshot wounds, and bound limbs, while Gaza officials called for an international investigation after over 100 mutilated bodies were returned during the ceasefire. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza

A US federal judge ruled in favor of American activist Guy Christensen after Ohio State University expelled him for posting videos on TikTok criticizing Israeli practices in Gaza. The ruling confirmed that the university had violated Christensen’s right to free speech protected under the US Constitution. Legal organizations and human rights groups had previously considered Christensen’s expulsion under pressure from pro-Israel groups as unlawful and potentially damaging to his career, especially since his videos did not incite violence. The ruling orders the removal of any record of Christensen’s expulsion from his academic record. It comes at a time when the activist faced widespread pressure, including smear campaigns, the release of personal information about him and his family, and accusations from US Congress members, due to his solidarity activities with Palestinians in Gaza. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #TikTok #Palestinian

NEW | Israel spraying cancer-linked herbicide on farms in southern Lebanon Lebanon says Israel is committing a “health and environmental crime” after its military sprayed glyphosate, a herbicide classified as “probably carcinogenic” by the WHO, over farmland in southern Lebanon. President Joseph Aoun condemned the act as a violation of Lebanese sovereignty that threatens food security, soil fertility, and farmers’ livelihoods, vowing to take “all necessary legal and diplomatic measures” in response. The aerial spraying, which followed warnings to UN peacekeepers to take cover, is a broader pattern of ecocide by Israel in the region, reminiscent of its destructive campaigns in Gaza, the West Bank, and southern Lebanon during previous military operations. Laboratory tests showed glyphosate concentrations 20 to 30 times higher than normal, capable of damaging vegetation, harming ecosystems, and contaminating water and the food chain. Environmentalists warn the attack compounds decades of ecological devastation in southern Lebanon, where previous Israeli bombardments with white phosphorus, incendiary bombs, and cluster munitions killed thousands, displaced over a million, and left soils polluted with heavy metals. Experts say these tactics reflect a continuum of colonial-style warfare, in which Israel systematically targets natural resources to destabilize populations and inflict long-term damage on the environment, livelihoods, and food security. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #WestBank #Lebanon

A large mural was unveiled in New York City commemorating the names of more than 18,000 Palestinian children killed in the Gaza Strip since the start of the Israeli genocide in October 2023. The mural, installed in the Brooklyn borough, displays the children’s names in chronological order according to the dates of their deaths. The artwork was created by American artist Phil Buehler with the aim of turning numbers into tangible human stories and drawing attention to the scale of child casualties, as part of growing cultural efforts in the United States to highlight the humanitarian impact of the war on Gaza. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #Palestinian

The United Arab Emirates will fund Gaza’s first planned community on Rafah’s devastated outskirts. Civilians would get access to education, healthcare, and water, but only after biometric data collection and security screening. This is the UAE’s first postwar reconstruction project in Israeli-controlled Gaza. The plans, approved by Israeli military planners, were revealed in a slide deck for European donors on January 14. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza

“We won't be able to obtain or sustain a just environment for our next generations until the U.S. and the other colonial empires, as systems and as governments, until they fall, we won't be able to live a normal life. Don't lie to yourselves.” Palestinian journalist Bisan Owda says Israel violated the Gaza ceasefire over 1,000 times in just three months, a level of aggression that would never be tolerated if carried out by Lebanon, Iran, Yemen, or any other nation. Owda argued that Western powers, led by the United States, demand blind obedience to their “agreements” while ignoring Israel’s repeated violations. She emphasized that Israel’s military actions depend entirely on U.S. support, making the genocide a U.S.-backed genocide, and that regional conflicts are driven by Washington and its allies. Owda warned that true peace and justice in Palestine cannot exist while colonial empires, especially the U.S. and its allied powers, remain dominant. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Genocide #Iran #Yemen #Lebanon #Palestinian

Breaking | Former Israeli Defense Chief Says Netanyahu Sabotaged Captive Deal — Israeli media On January 14, 2026, former Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant publicly said that the war criminal Benjamin Netanyahu was sabotaging a prisoners exchange deal in a live interview on 103FM radio. Gallant’s comments, posted on Rotter dot net, allege that the prisoners deal agreed in January 2025, which eventually saw Israeli captives freed in return for Palestinian prisoners, was essentially the same agreement that could have been reached much earlier, in May 2024, but was delayed and inflated in cost with additional concessions. According to Rotter, summary of Gallant’s remarks, he said the delay meant that the final agreement included releasing an additional 110 Palestinian prisoners serving life sentences and came only after six Israeli captives died, circumstances he suggests might have been avoided with earlier action. Gallant’s testimony portrays Netanyahu’s approach to captives negotiations as driven by political priorities and internal strategy rather than “humanitarian urgency”. #Israel #Palestine #Gaza #Netanyahu #Palestinian
