"Firsthand testimony" from a Gazan woman who left the Strip yesterday as part of the French project 👆 for "Academics at Risk."

Doha, a writer and Arabic teacher who received a scholarship from Columbia University's "Reid Hall Institute for Ideas and Imagination," shares her experience — how the process went, when she left, and what it was like.

She insists that she got the scholarship through her own merits, and not because of any "political or cultural reasons" (!)

She also repeatedly declares that this is not migration, and that - only if possible, and once she finishes her "cultural project" at the institute, she will return to the Gaza Strip in the future.

Naturally, she knows that the chances of that happening are virtually nonexistent, but she must maintain the narrative that this is not emigration.

Israeli military correspondent Doron Kadosh provides an update:

Full details of the sniper and anti-tank missile attack in the buffer zone in northern Gaza, in which an IDF soldier was killed and three others wounded:

The soldiers, most of them reserve armored corps troops, were traveling in a tank along the administrative route near the buffer zone in northern Gaza, close to Beit Hanoun. At some point, they exited the tank to carry out an operational mission, during which they were exposed.

While exposed during the mission, terrorists fired an anti-tank missile at them — which missed — and simultaneously carried out sniper fire, which hit. One soldier was killed, and three others were wounded. Two are in serious condition, and the third is in moderate condition.

The administrative route where the incident occurred is the same route where the incident last Saturday took place, in which IDF tracker Ra’aleb Nasasreh Z"L was killed. Today’s incident occurred just a few hundred meters from the site of Saturday’s attack, next to a different nearby IDF outpost in the buffer zone (not the same one from Saturday). Once again, the incident happened just a few hundred meters from the Gaza border, inside an area that has been under continuous IDF control for many months — not recently captured territory.

The IDF is investigating whether the terrorist cell behind today’s ambush is the same one that carried out Saturday’s attack. The cell was not eliminated after Saturday’s incident, so it’s possible they returned to the same area to conduct a similar attack.

Following the shooting, the IDF launched a wide wave of air and artillery strikes. Around 40 Hamas targets in northern Gaza were attacked.

Palestinians complain of a "brain drain" from Gaza following French plan to immigrate at-risk academics

Following yesterday's report here 👆 on the migration of Gazan academics under a French program for "academics at risk," Gazans publish instructions given to Gazan academics who won the coveted ticket out of Gaza.

According to what is written, there is also a ground route in addition to the exit via Ramon Airport:
The Gazans leave the Strip, through Israel, and arrive at the Allenby Crossing, where they cross into Jordan, spend the night in a hotel in Jordan and receive medical treatment - for those who need it, and from there take off on a flight to France.

Of course, the necessary permits must be obtained so that Israel can allow those "chosen ones" to leave the Strip.

Rapid escalation between India and Pakistan after yesterday's attack in Kashmir

Yesterday, about 30 tourists (most of them Indians) were murdered in a shooting in Kashmir. A rebel group opposed to the Indian presence and with ties to Pakistan claimed responsibility.

Following the attack, India quickly announced several response measures:

1. Abolish the 1960 water agreement between India and Pakistan. The generous agreement grants Pakistan 80% of the water from 6 rivers that drain into the Kashmir region and only 20% to India.

2. The border crossing between the countries in this region has been closed.

3. All visas for Pakistani citizens in India have been canceled and they are required to leave Indian territory within 48 hours.

4. All of Pakistan's military advisors in India were expelled and the Pakistani diplomatic mission was instructed to reduce its members to a maximum of 30 people.

This comes following the arrest of a terrorist cell that manufactured rockets and drones on Jordanian territory.
The detainees received assistance from Hamas.
Hamas is the Palestinian branch of the Muslim Brotherhood movement.

Indirectly and due to the strong connection between Hamas and the Muslim Brotherhood, this can be seen as a declaration that Hamas' activities in Jordan are also illegal.

PA Chairman Urges Hamas to Release Hostages and End Control of Gaza

Palestinian Authority Chairman Mahmoud Abbas, speaking before the PA Central Council, called on Hamas to release the Israeli hostages as a step toward discrediting Israel’s justification for continuing the war in Gaza:

“Those who caused the catastrophe (Nakba - AA) by seizing control of the Gaza Strip in 2007 gave Israel the pretext and power to devastate Gaza.”

He urged Hamas to:

Release the hostages to counter Israel's claims about the necessity of ongoing military operations.

End its rule over the Gaza Strip and hand over its weapons to the Palestinian Authority.

Transform into a political party operating under the legitimacy of the Palestinian state.

Or in his own words (attached clip):

"Release the hostages, you sons of dogs!"
