• 1h ago (02:30 GMT)US provided $3.5bn more in military aid to Israel amid the war on GazaThe new funds for Israel to spend on US weapons and military supplies come from a supplemental funding bill of $14.5bn that was passed by Congress in April and has been announced as criticism of Israel grows over the killings of tens of thousands of Palestinian civilians in Gaza. Part of the new military aid will also go to an Israeli army unit, which has been accused of carrying out serious human rights violations against Palestinians in the occupied West Bank and which had faced sanctions amid an investigation by US authorities into its abuses. The US State Department, however, said it had decided against sanctioning the unit – widely believed to be the Netzah Yehuda battalion – saying it was satisfied with Israeli efforts to address “violations by this unit”, which have been “effectively remediated”.Read the full report here.An Israeli tank maneuvers near the Israel-Gaza separation fence on August 7, 2024 [Amir Cohen/Reuters]Click here to share on social media

Palestinian prisoners, thousands of whom are held without charge or trial, have not received visits since October 2023, according to reports, as Ben-Gvir has extended his ban on visits for 10 consecutive months.“Under Ben-Gvir’s orders, the already grave conditions in Israeli prisons have been made even worse,” Qadura Fares, head of the Commission of Detainees and Ex-Detainees Affairs in Palestine, wrote last week.“The use of torture, including rape and beatings, has become widespread. There have been shocking reports about prison guards urinating on detainees, torturing them with electric shock, and using dogs to sexually assault them,” he said.“The systemic use of torture and other ill-treatment has predictably gone as far as extrajudicial killings.”Israel’s Ofer military prison located between Ramallah and Baytunia in the occupied West Bank in November 2023 [Kenzo Tribouillard/AFP]
