In the wake of a security force raid at the Al-Aqsa Mosque overnight, Israeli jets have attacked many locations in Gaza.

A “military location” west of the city and a site in the Nuseirat refugee camp in the middle of the Strip were both struck by Israeli aircraft.

After the nighttime Israeli police strike on worshipers at Al-Aqsa Mosque, the raids happened early on Wednesday morning.

Four rockets launched earlier on Wednesday by Gaza in retaliation for the police assault on Al-Aqsa preceded the Israeli onslaught on Gaza.

According to the Reuters news agency, witnesses said that Israeli tanks also shot at Hamas positions near the southern border of the Gaza Strip.

There were no early reports of injuries as a consequence of the attacks.

According to the Hamas spokesperson Hazem Qassem, the most recent Israeli airstrike is “an unsuccessful effort to stop Gaza from continuing its support [for] our people in Jerusalem and the West Bank.”

He thanked Palestinians for their “valiant resistance,” particularly those in the Gaza Strip, and said that they will continue to “exercise our right to safeguard the precious Al-Aqsa Mosque.”

Ramadan-related tensions around Al-Aqsa have in the past led to violent clashes between Israel and Gaza’s Hamas government, most recently in 2021.

According to the Palestinian Red Crescent, 12 Palestinians were hurt during the nocturnal assault on the mosque by Israeli police who used rubber-tipped bullets and pummeled them. Moreover, it said that doctors were unable to enter the compound of the mosque due to Israeli soldiers.

According to The Associated Press, Palestinians captured recordings of police using clubs and weapons to assault worshippers during the raid. A lady can be heard screaming “Oh God, oh God” in one video.

Ziyad al-Nakhala, the head of the Palestinian Islamic Jihad, said in a news release that the Palestinian people should be ready for this impending conflict in the coming days.

Itamar Ben-Gvir, a provocateur who has been overtly anti-Palestinian in his words and actions, is the current head of Israel’s police department.

topnewsplanet reported from Gaza that “strong Egyptian and international mediations are taking place to de-escalate the situation.”

  The flying of Finland’s white and blue flag on a vacant flagpole at NATO headquarters When Finland becomes the Western alliance’s 31st member, the Finnish flag will be hoisted at the Nato headquarters in Brussels. The US secretary of state and Finnish President Sauli Niinisto will attend a ceremony to officially join NATO. The addition of Finland is a blow for Russian President Vladimir Putin, who often bemoaned Nato’s growth before to his full-scale invasion of Ukraine. Russia’s border with NATO members has now doubled in length. In response to Russia’s conflict, Finland and Sweden officially asked to join NATO in May. Finland and Russia share an eastern border of 1,340 km (832 miles). They had both previously decided to follow a non-alignment policy. Nevertheless, after the invasion of Ukraine, they decided to rely on NATO’s Article 5, which states that an assault on one member is an attack on all. That effectively implies that all Nato countries, including the US, would defend...

NFTs and Rolexes were abandoned by the crypto brothers.

  Even while the wealthiest art collectors are currently on a tear, the recent financial crisis might alter everything. Sales of art-related tokens increased to $2.9 billion in 2021 as crypto bros spent their earnings on NFTs and Audemars Piguet watches.  The wealthy inhabit a distinct economic environment. That much is evident from all the Dior purses and Cartier watches they purchase, but it is made abundantly plain when you consider all the works of art they amass. According to the most recent state-of-the-industry assessment by art economist Clare McAndrew for Art Basel and UBS Group AG, global art sales will reach $67.8 billion in 2022. It represented a 3% gain from 2021 when sales recovered 31% from the pandemic-related low point in 2020. The American market drove the art business last year, just as it does in the worldwide luxury sector. After Leonardo Da Vinci’s Salvator Mundi, which fetched $450 million in New York in 2017, Andy Warhol’s Shot Sage Blue Marilyn, which ...
