A verified video footage shows a Palestinian boy pleading to Egyptian soldiers for food after climbing an electricity pole to rise above the fence at Gaza’s southern border. “We want to eat, we want to live,” he says.
Gaza’s government media office says 36 people were killed in overnight Israeli army attacks on Nuseirat refugee camp; most were children.
Pregnant women were also among the deceased in the house situated in the camp's western area in central Gaza.
"We hold the American administration, the international community, and the 'Israeli' occupation fully responsible for the escalation of these crimes and massacres against defenseless civilians," stated the office on Telegram.
Malaysia condemned Israel's attack on Gaza's Nuseirat refugee camp on March 14, labeling it as "senseless." The assault resulted in the deaths of eight individuals and left over 20 others injured. The attack occurred as camp personnel were preparing to distribute food donated through the Humanitarian Trust Fund for the People of Palestine, a fund under Malaysia's Foreign Ministry
"This reprehensible act of aggression against innocent civilians underscores the flagrant disregard for human rights and international law by the Israeli authorities," the Foreign Ministry said in a statement issued late on Friday.
Malaysia urged the international community to "intervene promptly" and hold Israel accountable. "It is imperative that justice is served, and measures are taken to prevent the recurrence of such atrocities," the ministry emphasized.
Since October 7, Israeli attacks on Gaza have resulted in the deaths of at least 31,490 Palestinians and injuries to 73,439 others.
The Israeli war has pushed 85% of Gaza’s population into internal displacement amid a crippling blockade of most food, clean water and medicine, while 60% of the enclave's infrastructure has been damaged or destroyed, according to the UN.
Israel is accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice. An interim ruling in January ordered Tel Aviv to stop genocidal acts and take measures to guarantee that humanitarian assistance is provided to civilians in Gaza

Russia's Ministry of Defense released footage showing the decimation of a Ukrainian sabotage group that tried to enter the village of Kozinka in the Belgorod region. The militants were intercepted and decimated by heavy fire from the Russian Armed Forces.
Earlier, the Defense Ministry reported that between March 12 and 14, Ukraine attempted to infiltrate Russia's Belgorod and Kursk regions. All attempts were thwarted by Russian forces and over 1500 militants were killed.
The Russian command was well aware that Ukraine might try to infiltrate Russia's borders, so Vladimir Putin ordered battle-hardened military professionals, including Spetsnaz (Special Forces) troops, to be stationed there to properly greet saboteurs and give them what they were asking for.
A special strike group from the Russian Aerospace Forces hit Ukraine’s stronghold and troop clusters in the Kupyansk area of the special op.
The Russian Ministry of Defense (MoD) has released footage showing off the military carrying out barrage precision strikes with S-8 aerial drones.
After accomplishing the mission, Russian crews executed an anti-missile maneuver using the on-board defense complex and successfully returned to their departure airfield.
In the course of the ongoing special military operation, Russian Army Aviation escorts military convoys, hammers Ukrainian armored vehicles, delivers troops and military cargos to designated locations, and provides air support for army units performing various combat missions on the ground.
Long-range strikes, drone warfare and border escalation: Key events of the week in Russia-Ukraine conflict
The past week in the Russia-Ukraine conflict has been marked by a major escalation at border areas between the two countries, as Kiev’s forces staged multiple attempts to breach into the Kursk and Belgorod regions. The attacks came ahead of the 2024 Russian presidential election, which kicked off on Friday.
Active combat also continued to rage to the northwest of Donetsk near the villages Orlovka, Tonenkoye and Berdychi, where the Russian military continues its push following the liberation of the town of Avdeevka last month. The Ukrainian military has been actively pouring reserves into the area in an apparent effort to stabilize the frontline, staging multiple counterattacks daily.
According to Russian military estimates, Kiev’s forces have been losing some 400 soldiers on average in the Orlovka-Tonenkoye-Berdychi area daily, as well as multiple pieces of military hardware. On Monday, Moscow claimed the destruction of a fourth US-supplied M1 Abrams tank in the area, though no footage to corroborate the kill has emerged.
On Tuesday, the Russian Defense Ministry announced the liberation of Nevelskoe, a small settlement located some 20 kilometers west of Donetsk. It sits around 3.5 kilometers south of the village of Pervomayskoye, an important stronghold for Ukrainian forces, which provides cover for the southern flank of the Orlovka-Tonenkoye-Berdychi line. Pervomayskoye, stretching along a system of ponds, canals and dams, has seen active combat for weeks already, with Russian forces reported to partially control its eastern outskirts.
Starting from Tuesday, Ukrainian forces staged attempts to breach the Russian border, attacking multiple locations along its frontier with Russia’s Kursk and Belgorod regions.
These attacks have been attributed by Kiev to the so-called Russian Volunteer Corps (RDK) and to the Russian Freedom Legion, paramilitary units created early in the conflict and attached to the country’s military intelligence agency, the GUR. The units, which portray themselves as collaborator forces composed of Russian defectors, as well as fugitive neo-Nazis, are designated by Moscow as terrorist organizations.
The Russian military has released multiple videos showing unsuccessful Ukrainian attempts to breach through the border. A drone video captured on Tuesday at a Russian border checkpoint near the village of Nehkoteevka, Belgorod Region, shows a Ukrainian T-64 tank hitting a landmine, with its crew abandoning the vehicle. The tank was subsequently destroyed by a drone, which dropped a hand grenade into its hatch.
Another video shows multiple damaged and destroyed Ukrainian armored engineering vehicles, tanks and infantry fighting vehicles near the border village of Sporadyushino, also in Belgorod Region. One of the abandoned tanks appears to be a modernized T-80, which had apparently been previously captured by Ukraine from Russian forces.
Disturbing drone footage from the same location, released by the Russian military on Thursday, shows the battlefield littered with dead and wounded Ukrainian troops. The unit was reportedly hit by a Russian TOS system. While officially designated as a “heavy flamethrower” in Russia, the system is effectively a multiple rocket launcher, which uses devastating thermobaric munitions.
On Thursday, the Ukrainian forces attempted a helicopter assault near the village of Kozinki in Belgorod Region. A group of some 30 soldiers disembarked from two Mi8 helicopters, which flew across the border at a low altitude, the Russian military has said. The unit, however, ended up blocked by Russian troops and forced back into Ukrainian territory, ending up trapped in a minefield. An evacuation group which attempted to help it ended up sustaining heavy casualties as well, with the tally of the botched operation reaching up to 50 service personnel.
Thus far, the attacks failed to yield any tangible result, with the Ukrainian forces sustaining heavy casualties in the effort. According to the latest estimates by the Russian Defense Ministry, Kiev lost some 1,500 troops, including up to 500 killed, as well as 18 tanks and 23 other armored vehicles during the border-region attacks.
The effort to breach through the Russian border have been preceded and coupled with a sharp uptick in suicide-drone attacks launched by Ukrainian troops. Multiple attacks were reported by the Russian military on a daily basis, with a majority of drones ending up shot down and failing to reach their designated targets.
A major drone swarm of at least 47 fixed-wing UAVs was intercepted on Saturday night, with the majority of them –41 aircraft– shot down over Rostov Region. The drones’ primary target was reportedly the city of Taganrog, with a local aircraft plant, known to be servicing Russian flying radar planes, presumed to have been the prime target. A handful of drones – or debris of the shot-down ones – seemingly made it through, inflicting minor damage to the plant’s structures, satellite imagery circulating online suggests.
Two other major drone attacks were repelled on Tuesday and Wednesday, with more than 25 and 58 UAVs shot down over the two days respectively. Some of the drones made it deep into Russia, with several downed near Moscow and St Petersburg. The two waves of UAVs appeared to be targeting primarily oil refineries and fuel depots, with the local authorities of Orel and Nizhny Novgorod regions each reporting fires at a single such facility.
The Russian military has apparently ramped up long-range attacks on the Ukrainian deep rear, striking multiple staging points far away from the frontline. On Saturday, the Russian Defense Ministry claimed destruction of an S-300 air defense system deployed near the Ukrainian-controlled town of Pokrovsk, in the Donetsk People’s Republic (DPR).
The town is located some 67 kilometers north-west of the Russian region’s capital, Donetsk. The system was hit by at least one Iskander ballistic missile, which triggered secondary detonation of anti-aircraft missiles, with multiple launchers and support vehicles neutralized.
While the Russian military identified the system as a Soviet-made S-300, multiple Ukrainian sources and independent military observers suggested the destroyed vehicles actually belonged to a US-made Patriot system. Footage released by the Russian Defense Ministry appears to corroborate this theory, with two of the destroyed vehicles resembling German-made MAN KAT1 8x8 trucks, commonly used as a platform for Patriot launchers. The Russian military claimed to have struck another Patriot launcher, in Ukraine’s Kharkov region on Wednesday.
The Russian military reported another long-range attack on that day, releasing drone footage of a strike on a temporary airfield located near the DPR village of Novopavlovka, some 46 kilometers from the front line. Three Ukrainian Mi-8/17 military-transport helicopters were detected during a re-supply stop, with the location getting hit by an unspecified cluster munition.
The attack left two of the helicopters damaged and unable to fly, with the aircraft subsequently destroyed by direct hits of unknown high-precision projectiles. While the surviving helicopter appeared to be an older Soviet-made Mi-8MT aircraft, at least one of the destroyed ones was apparently a Russian-made Mi-17V-5, supplied by Moscow to the now-defunct US-propped Afghan army in the early 2010s. A number of the surviving aircraft of the type ended up transferred to Ukraine by the Pentagon mid-2022.
The incident occurred just hours after eight people were killed in an airstrike on an aid distribution center at the al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza, Palestinian health officials said. Israel’s military has denied responsibility for the attack.
According to Gaza’s health ministry, at least 20 people were killed by Israeli forces while waiting to receive aid on Thursday. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) have called the reports “erroneous” and claimed that the Palestinians opened fire on their own people, adding that some civilians were run over by aid trucks. The attack left more than 150 people injured and came just hours after eight people were killed in an airstrike at the al-Nuseirat camp in central Gaza.
“An intensive preliminary review conducted overnight by the IDF found that the IDF did not open fire at the aid convoy,” the IDF said in a statement.
But the Ministry of Health wrote on social media that what happened at the “Kuwaiti roundabout points to hidden intentions of the occupation to commit a new, horrible massacre.”
Gaza officials said the attack occurred at the Kuwait roundabout where a crowd had gathered to receive aid. Three people who spoke to a Washington, DC journal said they saw an Israeli helicopter and drones randomly firing on Palestinians who had gathered to receive aid. The witnesses also said they saw armed Palestinian officers as well, but added that they were some distance away. They said the officers had fired their weapons into the air to control the crowds.
A journalist from Agence France-Presse also said they had been on the ground during the incident on Thursday and had seen several bodies and people who had been shot, according to a report.
Some aid agencies have tried to create less predictable paths for their routes to reduce the number of people who might gather for aid. But the quality of those roads creates a problem, says one individual who works for a nonprofit.
“The problem is there are very few routes to take and all are very difficult to travel on – there have been tanks driving up and down them for months and they are basically just strips of rubble now – so people can predict where the trucks are going to be,” said an NGO official in Gaza.
Land access to Gaza—which is now facing a famine—via Jordan, Israel, and Egypt remains limited. Countries sending emergency aid to Palestine have had to diversify their routes as a result. While Israel has denied limiting aid to Gaza, the United Nations (UN) and other relief officials have said that without a cease-fire, their ability to deliver humanitarian aid remains limited.
On Friday, Israel’s war cabinet met to evaluate a new cease-fire proposal by Hamas, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s office said Hamas’ demands were “unreasonable” but added that Israel would send a delegation to Qatar to discuss their position.
Qatar, Egypt, and the US are hoping to reach a cease-fire deal between Israel and Hamas before Ramadan, a Muslim holy month, which began on Monday. Netanyahu recently said that his war cabinet had approved a ground invasion plan for Gaza’s southern Rafah city.
Thus far, at least 31,490 Palestinians have been killed and 73,439 injured in Israeli attacks on Gaza since the war first began. The US has made nearly $600 million worth of arms sales to Israel with an additional amount of sales that went undisclosed. For weeks, humanitarian officials have been warning of an oncoming famine in Gaza as a result of the conflict, according to a report from the UN.
