Condemning Israel's violations
Hamas has condemned the killing of Palestinian prisoners in Israeli jails, calling for urgent international action. In a statement, the Palestinian resistance movement said at least 94 Palestinian detainees have been killed in Israeli prisons since the start of the genocidal war on Gaza. The movement denounced the killings as part of a systematic and criminal Israeli policy aimed at eliminating Palestinians. The statement cited severe abuses documented by human rights groups, including beatings, sexual assaults, scalding with boiling water, and dog attacks. It emphasized that such practices constitute war crimes under international law. Hamas criticized what it called international silence, arguing that global inaction has enabled these alleged crimes to continue. The group called on international bodies, including the United Nations and the Red Cross, to intervene urgently and hold Israeli officials accountable.
Iran's warning
Iran’s top commander says the country’s naval forces stand strong and are fully prepared to counter any threats.

He said the strategic force, in particular after the 12-day imposed war by the US and Israel, once again demonstrated its capability and power to deliver a decisive and deterrent response to any possible aggression or violation. He also hailed the constructive interaction between the Army’s naval forces and the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps Navy. Mousavi said the synergy has created a powerful model of intelligent deterrence and ensured lasting security in the Persian Gulf, the Sea of Oman, and Iran’s territorial waters.
