The Israeli Ministry of Health claimed that the number of injured since the beginning of the American-Israeli offensive against Iran has reached “only” 2,975, including 85 who are still hospitalized, amid widespread information blackout and military censorship regarding the actual data.

**5. Euro-Med: Dropping the Sde Teiman case confirms Israel’s policy of impunity**
The Euro-Mediterranean Human Rights Monitor stated that the dismissal of the indictment against five Israeli soldiers involved in the rape and torture of a Palestinian detainee from Gaza in the “Sde Teiman” prison is further evidence of the deliberate structural collapse of Israel’s justice and accountability system.
The organization said this confirms Israel’s direct involvement in protecting perpetrators and shielding them from accountability instead of prosecuting them, representing another practical declaration of Israel’s policy of impunity for crimes committed against Palestinians.
The monitor stressed that dropping the indictment does not mean the crime did not occur or that those involved are innocent, but rather reveals the structural complicity of Israel’s judicial system with military, security, and political authorities.

Israeli occupation authorities continued to close the blessed Al-Aqsa Mosque and prevent worshippers from reaching it to perform the final Friday prayer of the holy month of Ramadan.
For the fourteenth consecutive day, the occupation has kept Al-Aqsa closed and prevented worshippers from praying there, citing security conditions linked to the American-Israeli war on Iran.
The Jerusalem Governorate warned of a dangerous escalation in incitement led by the so-called extremist “Temple organizations” against Al-Aqsa amid the ongoing closure.

**8. The Netherlands and Iceland join the genocide case against “Israel”**
The Netherlands and Iceland have joined the case filed before the International Court of Justice accusing “Israel” of committing genocide in the Gaza Strip.
Both countries submitted declarations under Article 63 of the Court’s statute, which allows parties to the Convention on the Prevention and Punishment of the Crime of Genocide to intervene in cases related to the interpretation of the convention.
The case was filed in 2023 by South Africa, which cited genocidal rhetoric by some Israeli leaders during large-scale attacks on civilians. The number of victims since October 2023 has been estimated at more than 72,000 according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, with independent estimates suggesting even higher numbers.

**9. 21 civil organizations urge the UK to ban imports of Israeli goods**
Twenty-one British, international, and Palestinian civil society organizations, including labor unions, sent a letter to the British government calling for a complete ban on importing goods produced in illegal Israeli settlements.
The organizations stressed that concrete steps from the United Kingdom are necessary given Israel’s escalation of violations in the West Bank, the acceleration of illegal plans to annex parts of Palestinian territory, and continued violations of international law.
The letter warned that delaying a halt to these imports could lead the UK to violate its international legal obligations.

**11. Terrorism charges dropped against pro-Palestine band Kneecap**
British prosecutors lost their appeal to reinstate “terrorism” charges against Irish rapper Liam Óg Ó hAnnaidh, known artistically as Mo Chara, a member of the band Kneecap, following allegations that he raised a Hezbollah flag during a concert in London in November 2024.
The decision came from the High Court in London, confirming that the charges had been dropped in September 2025 for procedural reasons. O’Hannaidh and his bandmates welcomed the ruling, saying the prosecution attempt was “a vicious persecution campaign by the British state” because of their pro-Palestinian activism and their exposure of Israeli and American war crimes.

**12. 71,000 supporters call for boycott of match between Ireland and Israel**
The group Irish Sport for Palestine called for a boycott of a basketball match between Ireland and “Israel” scheduled for St. Patrick’s Day in Riga, Latvia, arguing that “Israel” is a terrorist state and that the participation of its basketball federation violates the principles of sporting justice.
The group said the Israeli basketball federation includes former soldiers from the Israeli engineering corps who play in clubs and are responsible for genocide, occupation, and apartheid. They stated that 1,007 athletes have been killed and 184 sports facilities destroyed over the past two years, while matches between Ireland and Israel have taken place four times previously.

**13. Microsoft employees call for stopping technology support to the occupation**
The group “No Azure for Apartheid” called for launching a new campaign to hold Microsoft accountable for the role of its technologies in wars.
The group warned about the rapid expansion of artificial intelligence use in military crimes, saying the company’s cloud infrastructure and AI systems are used to support wars in several regions, including Palestine, Iran, and Lebanon, which—according to the campaign—enhances military targeting capabilities.
It also noted that the increasing reliance on AI tools in warfare expands the scale of destruction and reduces human oversight over decisions to kill.
