Over 140,000 forced from their homes as Israel pounds Gaza










At least 38 Palestinians have been killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza in the past 24 hours, and one body has been recovered from the rubble, according to the enclave’s Health Ministry.







The UN’s humanitarian agency, OCHA, has said 142,000 Palestinians were forcibly displaced since Israel resumed its war on Gaza on March.





Gaza’s Health Ministry says at least 50,183 Palestinians are confirmed dead and 113,828 wounded in Israel’s war on Gaza. Gaza’s Government Media Office updated its death toll to more than 61,700, saying thousands of Palestinians missing under the rubble are presumed dead.


Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic are reporting that 11 Palestinians have been killed as a result of Israeli drone strikes on tents housing displaced people, as well as a charity food bank in the centre of the Gaza Strip.


At least 1,139 people were killed in Israel during the Hamas-led October 7, 2023 attacks and more than 200 were taken captive.


The US continues its bombardment of Yemen, as top officials face scrutiny for sharing military plans with a journalist in a group chat on the Signal messaging app.

Israel plans to establish a government agency to oversee the “voluntary departure” of Palestinians from Gaza, a move Palestinians have rejected and condemned as ethnic cleansing.





Health crisis looming at Israel’s Megiddo prison: Palestinian monitor



The Palestinian Prisoner’s Society (PPS) has warned a health crisis is looming at Israel’s Megiddo prison “due to extremely unsanitary conditions”, causing scabies and other skin diseases to spread.


The statement comes two days after Israeli authorities announced the death of 17-year-old detainee Walid Ahmad. Defense for Children International said Ahmad suffered from scabies and amoebic dysentery and died after collapsing and hitting his head on a railing.


“Ahmad was one of hundreds of children who continue to be detained across three central prisons, specifically Megiddo, Ofer, and Damon prisons, where all Palestinian minors face similar conditions,” the PPS said.


“The occupation’s prison system deliberately deprives prisoners, including children and women, of the basic elements that could stop the spread of diseases,” it added, calling on the World Health Organization, humanitarian groups and governments to “intervene urgently”.



Israeli attacks have rendered Jenin refugee camp uninhabitable, official says



More than 3,250 housing units in the Jenin refugee camp have become uninhabitable due to Israel’s ongoing military offensive in the northern occupied West Bank, the Jenin municipal chief has said.


“The situation in Jenin camp is entirely catastrophic,” Mohammed Jarrar told the Anadolu news agency. “Israeli forces continue to demolish, bomb, and burn Palestinian homes.”


Jarrar said Israel rejected a Palestinian appeal against plans to raze 93 additional residential buildings, containing about 300 housing units.


“We expect the demolition could happen at any moment,” he warned, adding that such a move would deepen the humanitarian crisis in the camp.


He stressed that the camp’s entire infrastructure has been obliterated, rendering it “completely unfit for living” and in dire need of reconstruction after years of repeated Israeli operations.


The latest operations are part of a wider Israeli military campaign in the north of the occupied West Bank since January, which has killed more than 70 Palestinians and displaced thousands.



Lebanon opposes normalisation with Israel, plans to displace Palestinians



Prime Minister Nawaf Salam has said normalisation with Israel is rejected by all Lebanese, who also strongly oppose any plans to displace Palestinians from Gaza and the occupied West Bank, according to the National News Agency (NNA).

Speaking at the Grand Serail, Salam stressed the importance of mobilising Arab and international support for the reconstruction of Gaza, the report said. He said that a meeting with French envoy Jean-Yves Le Drian focused on reconstruction efforts.


Salam also said that the international community and Arab nations had not exerted all possible pressure on Israel to halt its attacks.





















French military jets collide midair - Video

French military jets collide midair - Video










Two military jets from a renowned aerobatic team have collided midair during a stunt rehearsal in France, crashing to the ground and erupting in a fireball, footage of the incident showed.







Three people – two pilots and one passenger – managed to eject before the crash and were “found conscious,” the French Air and Space Force wrote on X. The crash took place near an airbase in Saint-Dizier, eastern France, on Tuesday afternoon during a training drill involving six Alpha Jets from the Patrouille de France, the French Air Force’s precision aerobatics team.


Footage captured by bystanders showed the moment the jets, engaged in a stunt and releasing smoke trails, collided in midair. The aircraft then spiraled toward the ground as crew members were seen ejecting and deploying their parachutes. Moments later, the jets crashed to the ground and erupted in a fiery plume.


French Defense Minister Sebastien Lecornu confirmed the incident on X, noting that the emergency services were quickly deployed to the scene.





“Slightly injured, they were taken into care,” he wrote. “Thanks to the emergency services mobilized, thoughts for our pilots of the Patrouille de France.”


Saint-Dizier Mayor Quentin Briere said one of the jets crashed into a grain silo, causing an explosion, while the other came down on agricultural land, as cited by Le Parisien. There were no reported injuries on the ground.


Two people were transported to a nearby hospital in a condition described as a “relative emergency,” according to Le Figaro. The third person, identified as having sustained multiple injuries, is reportedly receiving treatment from the army.





The French authorities said it was not immediately clear what caused the collision.


The Alpha Jet is a two-seat light attack and advanced trainer aircraft, developed in the 1970s by France’s Dassault Aviation and Germany’s Dornier. It is primarily used for pilot training and aerobatic displays.


France has been using the light Alpha twin-engined aircraft to train Ukrainian pilots after Russia's invasion of Ukraine.


In August 2024, two French pilots died after their Rafale jets collided in mid-air in eastern France, in a rare accident involving the cutting-edge military aircraft.


The terrifying moment was posted on social media, showing the aircraft tumbling from the sky during a training drill involving seven Alpha jets.


The collision occurred around 3.40pm near Air Base 113 as the aircraft were rehearsing for a Patrouille de France airshow.


Footage shows five of the planes trailing red, white and blue smoke soaring through the sky and then two jets trailing behind appear to touch each other before tumbling down together.


At least three people were involved in the collision, including a pilot who has been taken to hospital while officials have confirmed both jets were destroyed in the crash.





















Russia and US agree list of energy facilities for truce with Ukraine – Kremlin

The Kremlin has released a comprehensive list of energy facilities subject to a temporary US-brokered truce between Russia and Ukraine. The pause in long-range strikes against such targets took effect on March 18 and will last for 30 days, according to Moscow.







The types of facilities covered under the truce include oil and gas processing and storage facilities, including pumping stations and pipelines, electricity producing and distribution sites, nuclear power plants, and the dams of hydroelectric plants.


The truce may be prolonged beyond the 30-day period should both sides agree, Moscow noted. If either party violates the deal, the other can consider itself free from its obligations, it added.


The suspension of strikes was originally proposed by Trump to Russian President Vladimir Putin during a phone call last week. The Russian leader agreed to it and immediately ordering the country’s military to halt attacks on Ukrainian energy facilities. The Russian military later said it had to shoot down seven kamikaze drones that were already en route to targets in Ukraine in order to implement the order.


Zelensky publicly backed the idea of the truce shortly after it was first announced. However, Moscow accused Kiev of violating the ceasefire almost immediately, claiming that multiple energy facilities in Russia had been targeted by Ukrainian drones over the past week.


On Monday, the Caspian Pipeline Consortium (CPC) condemned a Ukrainian attack on the Kropotkinskaya oil pumping station, a vital energy site in Russia’s Krasnodar Region. CPC operates a major pipeline system carrying crude oil from the oil fields in Kazakhstan and Russia’s Caspian region to the Russian Black Sea port of Novorossiysk and on global markets. The project is jointly owned by several stakeholders from Russia, as well as such US oil giants as Chevron and ExxonMobil.


“The actions of the Ukrainian authorities have a destructive impact on CPC’s financial results and, as a consequence, on all of its shareholders, including the Republic of Kazakhstan and companies from the United States,” the consortium said in a statement.



Russia and US agree to key maritime initiative – Kremlin



Russia and the US have committed to advancing the Black Sea Initiative as a step towards settling the Ukraine conflict, according to a statement released by the Kremlin on Tuesday.

The agreement follows the 12-hour talks focused on the Ukraine conflict held on Monday in Saudi Arabia by expert groups from the two countries.


The sides discussed steps to ensure safe navigation in the Black Sea, including a pledge to avoid the use of force and prevent commercial vessels from being used for military purposes, while agreeing on control measures such as ship inspections.


The US has vowed to “help restore access for Russian agricultural and fertilizer exports to the world market, reduce the cost of insurance for maritime transportation, and enhance access to ports and payment systems for such transactions,” according to the Kremlin statement.


The agreement envisions lifting restrictions on Russian Agricultural Bank and other financial institutions involved in international trade of food and fertilizers, including reconnecting them to the SWIFT payment system. It also includes removing sanctions on Russian-flagged vessels, port services, and the supply of agricultural machinery and related goods to Russia.


According to the statement, Moscow and Washington have also agreed to develop measures to enforce the 30-day ban on strikes against energy infrastructure in Russia and Ukraine that was agreed last week. There would be an option to extend the arrangement or abandon it if either side fails to comply.


The two sides also welcomed the involvement of third countries in supporting agreements on energy and maritime matters.


The US and Russia “will continue efforts to achieve a lasting and sustainable peace,” the statement concludes.


Originally brokered in July 2022 by the UN and Türkiye, the Black Sea Grain Initiative aimed to ensure the safe passage of Ukrainian agricultural exports in return for the easing of Western restrictions on Russia’s grain and fertilizer trade. Moscow did not renew the deal in 2023, citing the West’s failure to uphold its commitments.

Ole Romeny jadi man of the match Indonesia vs Bahrain (Rifkianto Nugroho/detikSport)






Ole Romeny dua kali laganya bersama timmas Indonesia dua kali mencetal gol.Romeny layak sebagai man of the match baik saat melawan Bahrain maupun Australia, di dua laganya selalu mengancam gawang lawan.







Keputusan Timnas Indonesia menaturalisasi Ole Romeny sejauh ini tidak salah. Sebab, Romeny jadi jawaban untuk lini serang Skuad Garuda


Saat meelawan Australia Ole Romeny pun seperti menjawab kepercayaan yang diberikan PSSI dan pelatih baru Patrick Kluivert. Saat Indonesia dibantai Australia 1-5, Romeny mencetak satu-satunya gol dan kerap jadi ancaman sepanjang laga.


Dan kemarin Romeny kembali unjuk gigi saat Indonesia mengalahkan Bahrain 1-0 pada matchday kedelapan di SUGBK, pada hari Selasa malam WIB, 25/03/2025. Dia jadi pencetak gol tunggal kemenangan Tim Merah-Putih pada menit ke-24.


Ole Romeny dengan jitu menyontek umpan pendek Marselino di depan gawang. Romeny selama 87 menit membuat dua attempts yang semuanya mengarah ke gawang.


Ole Romeny sadar betul bahwa kemenangan atas Bahrain menjaga peluang Indonesia lolos ke Piala Dunia 2026. Pemain Oxford United itu kini berfokus untuk menghadapi dua laga sisa melawan Cina dan Jepang. “Dalam setiap pertandingan, kami ingin menang. Termasuk saat melawan Australia, kami telah melakukannya dengan baik. Kami tahu kualitas tim ini. Kami akan terus berkembang dari pertandingan ke pertandingan," kata dia.


Itu artinya Romeny menyumbang dua dari total tiga tembakan tepat sasaran Indonesia selama 90 menit. Wajar jika AFC akhirnya mendapuk Romeny sebagai man of the match di laga ini.


Usai dua gol dalam dua laga pertamanya, bisakah Romeny menjaga ketajamannya? Kita tunggu di dua laga terakhir kualifikasi bulan Juni.




Berdasarkan catatan Flashcore, Ole Romeny memiliki rating tertinggi dari semua pemain yang tampil. Ia mendapatkan rating 7,3 setelah tampil selama 87 menit. Sejumlah pemain Indonesia juga tampil apik dan mendapat rating di atas tujuh seperti Ragnar Oratmangoen, Thom Haye, Rizky Ridho, Jay Idzes, dan Justin Hubner.


Kemenangan atas Bahrain membuat peluang Indonesia ke Piala Dunia 2026 tetap terjaga. Di grup C, Timnas Jepang sudah pasti lolos langsung ke putaran final setelah memuncaki klasemen dengan koleksi 20 poin. Australia berada di peringkat kedua dengan 13 poin.


Berbeda halnya dengan pilihan media Bola, Rizky Ridho terpilih menjadi man of the match pertandingan Timnas Indonesia vs Timnas Bahrain versi Bola.net. Sang bek benar-benar jadi sosok pembeda di laga ini.

Pada laga ini, Ridho benar-benar tampil solid. Ia mampu mengover sektor pertahanan Indonesia di laga ini.


Ia juga melakukan beberapa sapuan yang krusial sehingga Bahrain hanya punya satu tembakan on target ke gawang Indonesia. Berkat performanya yang impresif, kami merasa sang bek layak dinobatkan sebagai man of the match.



Statistik Pertandingan



Secara keseluruhan, statistik menunjukkan Timnas Indonesia kalah dominan dalam penguasaan bola. Skuad Garuda hanya menguasai 42 persen berbanding 58 persen bola untuk Bahrain. Namun, Indonesia lebih efektif dalam menciptakan peluang. Tercatat ada tujuh peluang tercipta, tiga di antaranya tepat mengarah ke gawang Bahrain. Adapun The Reds, julukan Bahrain, hanya berhasil menciptakan satu peluang yang mengarah ke gawang Maarten Paes.

Two killer whales are hunting great white sharks — to eat their livers

Two killer whales are hunting great white sharks — to eat their livers

Two killer whales are slaughtering great white sharks by eating their liver

The orcas known as Port and Starboard have killed dozens of sharks off the South African coast with such precision that one researcher marveled at “how Hannibal Lecter it is.”







Esther Jacobs smelled murder on the water. As the pungent odor of shark liver filled the air and an oily sheen spread across the surface, Jacobs had come upon an aquatic crime scene — and two notorious serial killers.


They were the killer whales known as Port and Starboard who had been rampaging the South African coast. Their surprising victims: great white sharks.


Shark experts such as Jacobs have spent years trying to figure out how orcas — the largest of the dolphin family — are so easily dispatching some of the fiercest predators in the ocean, and why they’re using such grisly methods.


On her June 2023 voyage into Mossel Bay, Jacobs didn’t know that danger still lurked below. Then she spotted Port and Starboard — and watched the latter stalk a great white, disembowel its liver and then show off his gruesome trophy to a human audience on a nearby boat.


“It was very surreal,” said Jacobs, the founder of Keep Fin Alive, a marine conservation and education nonprofit on South Africa’s southern coast. She added: “I’ve always seen [great white sharks] as this incredibly powerful apex predator. So to see one just get picked off so easily … it’s really mind blowing.”


What Jacobs witnessed was one of dozens of times experts say the pair has killed sharks, many of them great whites. Marine biologists have been stunned by the killer whales creating near-surgical cuts in great whites’ underbellies, removing their livers and leaving them to die, sometimes within minutes.


“They can handle a white shark and just shuck it like a mussel almost — just tear it open and slide its liver out and consume it and discard the rest,” said Alison Towner, a marine biologist at Rhodes University in South Africa.


While other killer whales have been documented preying on sharks in the area, Port and Starboard are believed to be the primary offenders. They usually work together, but scientists believe they are part of a larger group from which they often break off to hunt.


The killings have had far-reaching implications. To steer clear of the roving killer whales, researchers say, great white sharks have fled their former favorite haunts, causing cascading effects up and down the food chain. Populations of the great whites’ food, including Cape fur seals, have spiked — and these animals in turn have grown bolder while feasting more heavily on their prey. There are tourism impacts, too: TV crews that once routinely made an annual pilgrimage to South Africa to capture great white footage now go elsewhere.


“I can’t believe we still, in less than a decade, have seen such profound impacts,” Towner said.

A decade ago, great white and sevengill sharks ruled False Bay next to Cape Town on the southwestern edge of South Africa. They preyed on bony fish, rays, small cetaceans and other sharks.


They were also some of the bay’s marquee stars, fueling an ecotourism industry that includes scuba diving, cage diving and boat tours. Divers could routinely observe dozens of them during an hour-long dive on the west side of the bay at Miller’s Point, which one website hailed as “the epitome of shark diving worldwide.”


But starting in 2009, tourism boats started documenting the arrival of another predator: killer whales. Over the ensuing years, although the number of orcas in False Bay increased, the apex predators coexisted, with the orcas feeding on marine mammals, especially common dolphins and whales such as the humpback.


“Their presence was very rare in that area,” said Alison Kock, a marine scientist with South African National Parks who has been studying False Bay’s sevengills.


Then came Nov. 9, 2015. Cage divers at Miller’s Point hoped to be dazzled by the bustling sevengill population — only to find that the sharks had vanished overnight, even though the population usually peaks in the Southern Hemisphere’s late spring. Instead, divers soon found several sevengill carcasses, each with a gaping wound on its underbelly near the pectoral fins.


Researchers assumed humans must have been responsible. Fishers had long favored using oily shark liver as bait for other sharks, Kock said. And marine biologists didn’t think any animal could so precisely target a particular organ.


“We really didn’t know what had caused this,” Kock said.


Then in April 2016, several more carcasses were found littered on the seabed and at Miller’s Point. This time, divers recovered them, allowing Kock and other marine biologists to perform necropsies. She found that, like the sharks killed the previous November, the ones being examined had a gaping wound across their pectoral girdle with little other damage. Their hearts, stomachs and other major organs were still intact — with one exception.


“In each case, the liver had been removed,” wrote Tamlyn Engelbrecht, who co-authored a 2019 paper with Kock titled, “Running Scared: When Predators Become Prey.” Engelbrecht also noted that shark livers, which can account for up to a third of a shark’s body weight, are high in fatty energy-rich lipids.


Marine biologists found bite marks on the sharks’ pectoral fins and bruising of the underlying tissue. Armed with these observations, they reexamined photographs of the sharks that had been killed five months earlier and found the same kinds of bite wounds on their pectoral fins, which had also been marred by rake marks — scratchlike injuries caused by orcas when they scrape victims with their teeth.


The scientists had cracked the case: Their killers were killer whales.


It was a shocking discovery. Killer whales eat a wide range of food as a species, from fish to squid to marine mammals such as seals. But different groups often have specialized diets based on culture. While orcas had been documented eating sharks, instances of them targeting bigger ones at the top of the food chain were rarer.


What happened in South Africa was rarer still. It was the first time — anywhere — that anyone had recorded killer whales using force to extract a shark’s liver.


Up to that point, Kock had focused her research on sharks — while many of her impressions of killer whales grew out of “Free Willy,” a 1993 movie in which a 12-year-old boy befriends and helps free an orca whose owners plan to kill him for insurance money. Kock’s discovery upended the movie’s heartwarming depiction of the animals, which can grow up to 32 feet and weigh as much as 11 tons.


“Seeing their immense impact on white sharks and how they prey on them, and how Hannibal Lecter it is, I think that ‘Free Willy’ really was a bit of a lie, and ‘Silence of the Lambs’ was a little bit more accurate,” she said.


Researchers quickly homed in on two suspects.


A pair of killer whales were spotted for the first time in 2012 at the far south end of False Bay near the Cape of Good Hope. The two males, who were eventually nicknamed Port and Starboard because their dorsal fins had collapsed in opposite directions, then disappeared for three years.


They showed up in the bay again in January 2015 and were spotted multiple times there over the next 10 months, including just days after the sevengill attacks in November of that year. As Kock and her team performed two dives in the wake of the second sevengill massacre in April 2016, they approached their boat. Kock compared sighting records of Port and Starboard from dive boat operators to the places where carcasses had been found — they matched up.


But the carcasses kept coming. Dave Hurwitz, the owner of the ecotourism business Simon’s Town Boat Company who nicknamed the killer whales, said about 20 sevengill sharks were killed that year.


And those are just the ones that washed ashore or were found by divers, he added. Because shark corpses sink, a combination of factors, including tides and currents, have to align for their bodies to be discovered. Undoubtedly, experts said, many more have sunk to the ocean floor.


The following year, Port and Starboard turned their attention to bigger game. The first great white shark carcass washed ashore in February 2017, in Gansbaai, a town about 35 miles southeast of False Bay. Over the next several months, four more were found, all with tears to their underbelly near their pectoral fins and none with livers.


Marine biologists also found rake marks on their bodies, leading Towner and others to conclude that the creatures that had been hyped into sea monsters by “Jaws” and Discovery Channel’s Shark Week had become prey.


“All of a sudden, they’re the victims,” she said of the sharks. “So it really did turn everything on its head.”


Marine biologists don’t know why they started hunting off the coast in the first place. Killer whales usually rove farther offshore, and Port and Starboard were already adept killers with well-honed hunting skills when they arrived, Jacobs said. She thinks they were forced in but said that experts haven’t figured out why, although they have theories that include overfishing.


“No one really has any idea,” she said.



An enduring threat to sharks



The effects of Port and Starboard’s decade-long hunting campaign have been pronounced and enduring, for the sharks most of all, especially because they’re the most threatened fish in the ocean, Towner said.


Humans are their biggest danger. About 70 percent of sharks face serious pressure from overfishing, which is rampant and off the radar in southern Africa, Towner said. Climate change has altered ocean conditions, which is modifying the travel patterns of their prey and for sharks themselves. And underwater shark nets, designed to protect swimmers, trap and kill sharks. Orca predation only adds to their woes, Towner said.


Port and Starboard are still terrorizing the South African coast. One marine biologist described them as “roving bandits” looting the coasts of southern Africa, as far north as Walvis Bay in Namibia and as far east as Algoa Bay in South Africa. Most recently, in October, Port and Starboard killed more sevengills in nearby bays.

No one knows where they are now, but biologists say it’s only a matter of time before they show up again — and leave a watery graveyard in their wake.
