Four killed in Israeli airstrike targeting Hamas commander in Gaza

Five Palestinians have been killed and 25 injured in an Israeli airstrike on Gaza City.

The target of the attack was senior Hamas Commander, Raed Saed - believed to be one of the key architects of the October 7 attacks on Israel.

Israeli forces have continued to strike parts of Gaza since October's ceasefire and have restricted aid supplies which, along with heavy rainfall, is making life a misery for hundreds of thousands of displaced Palestinians.

Deadly Israeli attack on Gaza City causes panic and fear: AJE correspondent

Al Jazeera’s Hani Mahmoud reports from Gaza City. He says it’s been a bloody few minutes in the past hour. A vehicle was struck by drone missiles, killing five people in the heart of Gaza City.

He adds that there are seven critically injured Palestinians, including children, at al-Shifa Hospital, which is acutely short of medical supplies.

He reports that this attack occurred in an area for displaced families who have returned recently after the ceasefire. This happened not far from where we’re reporting, just a couple of hundred metres away. It’s a busy area with lots of street vendors, and many people were passing by when the attack happened, maximising the number of casualties.

UN resolution on Gaza imposes 'illegal trusteeship' over Palestinians, says top legal expert

The UN Security Council resolution that endorses US President Donald Trump's 20-point plan for Gaza is in breach of the fundamental norms of international law, and is therefore legally invalid, a top international law expert told Middle East Eye.

On Monday, the Security Council approved Security Council Resolution 2803, which backs the creation of an international stabilisation force and places Trump in supreme control of Gaza. It also names his "board of peace" as the entity that will oversee the implementation of the plan for a period of two years. The involvement of former UK Prime Minister Tony Blair in this has been widely touted.

Ralph Wilde, a leading international law academic and practitioner, told MEE that the resolution attempts to codify "trusteeship" over Gaza, a colonial arrangement that breaches the Palestinians' right to self-determination.

"Trusteeship conducted by individual states in the colonial era was a self-serving sham invoked in bad faith, serving as an alibi to rationalise colonial rule, which could be justified as a 'civilising mission'," Wilde said, speaking from Ramallah in the occupied Palestinian territories.
