GSF announced italy is deploying a naval vessel to safeguard Italian nationals on the flotilla, seems like a big deal to me

We note the announcement of the Italian Ministry of Defence regarding the deployment of a naval vessel to the area of the GSF, with the stated purpose of safeguarding Italian nationals aboard.

We welcome the recognition by Minister Crosetto of the democratic and non-violent nature of our mission, and his condemnation of the recent attacks on our vessels.

Earlier today, we called on all UN Member States—and in particular those whose nationals are aboard our ships—to ensure and facilitate effective protection, including maritime escort, accredited diplomatic observers, and an overt protective State presence. Italy has now taken a first step in this direction.

We emphasise that such measures must remain protective and facilitative in nature, consistent with the principles of non-interference and the humanitarian purpose of our mission. We therefore call on other states to follow suit in providing protective presence to guarantee the safe passage of their nationals and to uphold international law.

About 10 hours ago Handala started streaming live CCTV footage from the ship so thousands have been literally keeping an eye on them.

you can follow along here, they are less than 2 hours from the location the madleen was abducted from https://www.youtube.com/live/A4hF5rA-v-Q

Edit: for those who dont know who Handala is, why the name is significant. he is representing a palestinian refugee, usually drawn with a key in his hand for return. but also with his back turned and tattered clothes symbolizing the palestinian struggle and how we've been forgotten by the world. Artist Naji Al Ali drew handala and it has become a symbll of resistance, my dad gave me a handala necklace when i was really young like 8 years old.

Oh, and mossad assassinated Naji Al-Ali because of the power of his pen

Georges Abdallah has been freed and is on a flight to beirut

Per the Freedom Flotilla Coalition, contact has been lost with the Handala ship sailing to break the siege on Gaza. Notably the passengers include 6 Americans for the first time, including ALU leader Chris Smalls.

Reports of drones monitoring the ship for a few days leading up to this. At one point explosives were found on the ship while docked in italy which delayed its departure

EDIT: so i think i saw a mistaken report about the sabatoge attempt, it did not involve explosives. but there were 2 sabatoge attempts one was a rope tied around the propeller, and the second was a truck that was brining a tank of water to give to people in gaza contained sulfuric acid instead.

yemeni missile launched and reportedly intercepted

ansarallah and resistance operations in palestine feel like the only thing keeping me afloat rn

just seen a Cradle report that Isr**l is planning to force palestinians out of the west bank into jordan. This tracks with reports ive been getting from my family since july 2023 about iof and settlers distributing flyers and regularly warning all palestinians to flee to Jordan.

This news just sunk me to an even deeper sense of despair. I have consistently, since july 2023, been unable to process at all everything is happening and i feel such helplessness. I am the descendant of nakba survivors, our village was destroyed and for 77 years no living member of my family has seen our ancestral home. I have grown up separated from the vast majority of my family who still are living under occupation, in refugee camps that have turned into permanent homes. I have grown up with rage and anger at what has been stolen, the erasure of our history, while constantly being subject to vile islamophobic views of myself and my people here in the US.

Im sorry im kind of venting now, i had somewhere i was going when i started typing but i dont know anymore. Fuck every comprador regime, fuck the zionist entity, fuck white supremacy, fuck the so called united states.

resistance ambush in gaza reportedly blew up a troop carrier and ambushed the rescue force, reported 5-8 dead 15 wounded IOF

this isnt news, but my family has been sending videos of missiles and interceptors over their heads. obviously there is a real fear that a zionist interceptor could fall and hit them, like zionist interceptors have done in the past. but there is a real awe involved in all of what has happened today.

zionist jets shot down, possibly a high ranking zionist assassinated, and massive strikes into the heart of the entity. it really feels like a moment of joy for those of us who have had so much taken from our families at the hands of the entity.

this pales in comparison to what the entity has done to us, we wont rest until we are liberated with a right to return. but this really was needed for Palestinians

updates from telegram over the last hour:

1. Iran submitted a counter to US "proposal" which stated theyd commit to 3.7% enrichment as long as zionist entity's nuclear arsenal is dismantled

2. Satanyahu calls trump for a 40 min call advocating to attack iran.

3. Call ends, "security consultations" between satanyahu and his cabinet, reports of an attack in the near future, and total ban on publication about details by zionist media

4. NYT published, and later retracted an article detailing the iranian counterproposal.

5. waiting to see what trump says as that might indicate which way were heading

massive port explosion in iran, Shaheed Rajaee Port which is a large container port. Over 500 reported injured, unknown number of casualties. If you watch the videos it is strikingly similar to the Beirut explosion a few years ago

Investigations and recovery are still ongoing

BREAKING | A massive explosion has been reported at the Port of Shahid Rajaee, one of two parts of the port of Bandar Abbas, located on the north shores of the Strait of Hormuz in southern Iran.

According to Mehr News, a fuel tank in the port exploded for an unknown reason, and rapid response teams were immediately dispatched to the area.

Port activities have now been suspended so that the situation can be quickly brought under control by security and relief forces.

The number of casualties from the explosion has yet to be determined.

UPDATE | The number of injured in the Shahid Rajaee port explosion has risen to at least 516.

At least 171 others were injured.
