At least 25 Palestinians killed in Gaza in the last few hours in Israeli attacks
At least 25 people died in Israeli attacks in different parts of the Gaza Strip throughout the night and early hours of Wednesday, according to the rescue services of the Civil Defense of the enclave.
The group’s spokesman, Mahmud Basal, confirmed that at least 11 Palestinians, including nine women, lost their lives in a bombing of a family home east of Jan Yunis, in the south of the enclave.
Palestinian media also report that a fisherman lost his life in an Israeli attack when he was at sea off the coast of Jan Yunis, near the one designated as a “humanitarian area” by Israeli forces.
In addition, nine other people, six of them women, died in another attack last night against the house of a university professor in the town of Yabalia, in the north of the Strip.
And in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the center of the enclave, at least four people were killed in a bombing of a residence, Civil Defense said.
Since the Israeli war began in Gaza, more than eleven months ago, at least 41,000 people have lost their lives and more than 94,000 have been injured in Israeli attacks against the Palestinian enclave, according to the latest data from the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.
The Israeli Army has also intensified its incursions into the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank.
At least five people died last night in an airstrike near the town of Tubas, in the northeast of the occupied West Bank, as confirmed today by both the Palestinian Red Crescent and the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian National Authority, which governs small parts of the territory.
According to Israeli forces, the attack was directed against a cell of armed militiamen, and they framed the operation as part of their offensive against Palestinian militias in the northern West Bank, which began last week.
The official Palestinian news agency, Wafa, has specified that the attack took place near a mosque. All the dead were between 18 and 24 years old.
In addition, two other people were killed last night in a rail in Tulkarem, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
On the other hand, an Israeli in his 20s is in critical condition after being run over near a Jewish settlement in the southern occupied West Bank, the emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) said on Wednesday.
The Israeli Army confirmed the event and said that its forces eliminated the alleged attacker, whom they described as a “terrorist.”

Biden to attend Trump’s inauguration in January
US President Joe Biden will attend the inauguration ceremony of Donald Trump in January, the White House announced on Monday, despite the fact that the Republican did not attend Biden’s inauguration four years ago.
“The president promised that he would attend the inauguration of whoever won the election. He and the First Lady will keep that promise and attend,” said spokesperson Andrew Bates to reporters traveling with Biden on Air Force One.
“He sees it as an important demonstration of commitment to our democratic values and to honoring the will of the people, while we continue to ensure a smooth and effective transition,” Bates added.
Despite describing Trump as a threat to democracy during the election campaign, Biden seeks to facilitate a peaceful transfer of power to the Republican that Trump denied him.
Biden invited the president-elect to the White House just days after the November 5 election, in which Trump defeated Democratic Vice President Kamala Harris.
The 82-year-old Democrat dropped out of the presidential race for a second term in July and supported Harris after her disastrous performance in a televised debate led Democrats to question her fitness for the office due to concerns over her health and mental agility.

Mexico’s Sheinbaum warns Trump: Tariffs won’t stop migration or drug consumption
Mexico’s President Claudia Sheinbaum warned Donald Trump on Tuesday that new tariffs will not stop irregular migration or drug consumption in the United States, following the elected president’s threat to impose a 25% tariff on Mexican imports.
“President Trump, it is not with threats or tariffs that the migratory phenomenon or drug consumption in the United States will be stopped,” said the left-wing president while reading a letter she plans to send to the elected president. She also proposed initiating a dialogue.

Iran’s Khamenei calls ICC arrest warrant against Netanyahu insufficient
Iran’s Supreme Leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei, described the International Criminal Court’s arrest warrant against Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for war crimes as “insufficient” and stated that the prime minister deserves a “death sentence.”
The court, based in The Hague, issued arrest warrants on Thursday against Netanyahu, his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Hamas’s military leader Mohammed Deif for war crimes and crimes against humanity.
In his first speech since the court issued the arrest orders, Khamenei called the arrest warrant against Netanyahu “insufficient.” He further stated, “These criminal leaders must be sentenced to death,” referring to Netanyahu and Gallant, while addressing a group of Basij volunteers, an Islamist militia that can act as a replacement for security forces.
