🚨 Israeli strike destroys Gaza school educating 350 children An overnight Israeli airstrike on a residential building in the Saftawi area of Jabaliya, northern Gaza, destroyed the nearby Al-Zahraa makeshift tent school, which provided free education to approximately 350 children, as well as the Little Smile Kindergarten. The strike also damaged a camp sheltering displaced Palestinian families. “All the desks and educational tents were destroyed. Even the stationery we had for students and teachers was ruined,” Mousa Zaqout, a teacher, told Drop Site’s Abdel Qader Sabbah. He said the volunteer-run school provided free education to children from the camp and surrounding areas. “There is no ceasefire or anything like that on the ground,” Zaqout added. “Every hour, every moment, there is bombing and destruction.” Gaza’s Ministry of Education condemned the destruction of the two educational facilities, describing Israel’s continued targeting of schools as part of a systematic destruction of education in Gaza. 🎥 @AbdSabbah91

Independent journalist Jasper Nathaniel, now released, says settlers punched him in the face, likely broke activist Adele Shoko's wrist, concussed Andrey and repeatedly threatened to shoot them with an assault rifle in Umm al-Khair. They had filmed settlers using a key to lock a military gate that cuts off 20-plus Palestinian communities from schools, jobs, food and ambulances. Police arrested him and Andrey, charged them with assault and took his phone, he added. He said, "The gate is still locked."

🔦A covert ad campaign pushing racist, anti-Muslim, anti-migrant and anti-Qatar propaganda has racked up more than 533 million recorded exposures across Europe, Lebanon and the United States, 30 different countries, since October 2023, according to a new investigation by researchers Marc Owen Jones and Sohan Dsouza. Its funder remains hidden, but several trails lead to Israel. The campaign began with billboards in Lebanon blaming Iran and Hezbollah for the war, with Israel left out entirely. It then blamed Qatar, a key mediator between Israel and Hamas, with ads pressuring Sheikha Moza, the Emir's mother, over Israeli captives and urging boycotts of Qatari-owned brands. It soon escalated into "Great Replacement" conspiracy content describing Qatar as the hidden force "Islamising" Europe. The operation spent over $1.2 million on Meta ads by mid-2024 alone. It ran dozens of fake front groups across six platforms and reached Times Square and a 2024 CPAC stage shortly before Donald Trump spoke. Among the leads the researchers found: ▪️ A campaign poster traced to Johnnie Moore, the evangelical Trump adviser who later led the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation, whose PR firm also publicized a campaign protest 
▪️ A Wikipedia sockpuppet network linked to an Israeli IP address 
▪️ Video files with Hebrew labels, made on a Sunday-to-Thursday workweek, pointing to an Israel-based production team 🔗 The report and a detailed thread are below. The operation is still running.

Sacha Baron Cohen's Ali G sequel lasted one weekend in theaters, and the Hollywood Reporter is blaming pro-Palestine activists, and discussing "Hamas-affiliated operatives.” THR detailed a campaign by UK-based NewsCord, whose platform gave users AI-assisted templates to email cinemas; NewsCord says about 55,000 emails went out. THR then pointed to the group's support for Gaza aid flotilla participants, whose leaders the US Treasury designated "Hamas-affiliated operatives." NewsCord, which calls Ali G a form of blackface, accused THR of drawing "conspiratorial links." Amazon MGM opened the film on just 23 screens, withheld box office figures, and moved it to Prime Video five days later, per World of Reel.
