Palestinian health officials say an Israeli airstrike on a residential building in Nuseirat in Central Gaza has resulted in nine deaths including five infants and two women, one of which was pregnant.
Surviving members of the Al-Taweel family gathered to mourn the loss of their family members and also shared their grief to journalists outside the al-Aqsa Hospital morgue.
Grandfather of the dead infants, Osama al-Taweel told journalists his grandchildren deserved to feel protected in their homes.
“The sons of Shaheen and al-Taweel family were safe in their homes. What’s the fault of these children, God suffices me, bring this fetus (baby). This fetus (baby) came out of its mother’s womb. ... These are Israel's goals. Oh world, bear witness to Israel's crimes!"
The Israeli military, facing widespread condemnation for the high child casualty count in Gaza, has not commented on the strike.
The United Nations says at least 40,000 people, including close to 15,000 children have been killed in the conflict, between Israeli military forces and Hamas since October 7, 2023.
The CIA says their intelligence helped Austrian police to prevent a terror plot that was targeting Taylor Swift’s concerts in Vienna.
The plot, linked to I-S , intended to kill tens of thousands of fans using knives and homemade explosives.
The main suspect, a 19-year-old Austrian man, had been radicalised online.
Austrian authorities arrested him and two others between the 6th and 8th of August, leading to the immediate cancellation of the concerts.
Deputy Director of the CIA, David Cohen, says the US intelligence agency's assistance helped prevent the attack.
"They were plotting to kill a huge number, tens of thousands ofpeople at this concert,including, I'm sure, many Americans and were quite advanced in this. The Austrians were able to make those arrests because the agency, and our partners in the intelligence community provided them information about what this ISIS connected group was, was planning to do."
Authorities are continuing to search for a man who seriously injured a baby by pouring hot coffee on the child in a Brisbane park.
The nine-month-old, who sustained burns to his face and chest during the unprovoked attack at Hanlon Park, has undergone surgery and remains in hospital in a stable condition.
His mother says the baby is recovering.
"He seems like his happy self again, which is really nice to see, because the last few days have been really really hard."
