Israel continues Gaza offensive, kills over 90 including women, children

Gaza Strip, Jul 11: Israel has continued its major airstrikes on the besieged Gaza Strip for the third consecutive day, killing more than 90 Palestinians, including women and children.

On Thursday, Israel escalated its air campaign targeting hundreds of sites in the enclave.

At least three people, including a child, were killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza's northern cities of Beit Hanoun and Beit Lahiya.

Three others also lost their lives in Jebaliya after an Israeli strike hit their vehicle.

Earlier in the day, eight people were killed after Israeli jets bombed a building in the Gazan city of Khan Younis. Eight more people were also killed in an air strike on a beach cafe, where people were watching a football match between Argentina and the Netherlands.

Palestinian health officials say at least half of the casualties are civilians, including women and children.

Israel also mobilized 20,000 soldiers for a possible ground invasion of the Gaza Strip.

Meanwhile, Egyptian authorities temporarily opened the Rafah crossing to receive hundreds of injured Palestinians for medical treatment. The border had been closed since the ouster of Egyptian president, Mohammed Morsi, last year.

In retaliation, Hamas also fired more than 200 rockets from Gaza into Israeli towns and cities. Israeli media reports say that only some 60 of those rockets were intercepted by its US-funded Iron Dome missile system.

Sami Abu Zuhri, a Hamas spokesman, said that Tel Aviv is committing war crimes in the enclave, calling on the international community to take actions.

"We confirm that what is happening in Gaza are real war crimes that take place while the world is standing in silence,” he said.

“We as Palestinians confirm that we will use every means to protect our Palestinian people," he added.

Pak jail authorities say Imran Khan is alive and healthy after ‘murder’ rumours spark panic

News Network

November 27,2025

Authorities at Pakistan’s high-security Adiala Jail in Rawalpindi on Wednesday dismissed speculation about the condition of imprisoned former Pakistan Prime Minister Imran Khan, rejecting rumours that he had been moved out of the facility or was in danger. Officials said Khan was in “good health” and described the viral death claims as “baseless.”

“There is no truth to reports about his transfer from Adiala Jail,” the Rawalpindi prison administration said in a statement, according to Geo News. “He is fully healthy and receiving complete medical attention.”

Amid swirling rumours on social media, Imran Khan’s party, Pakistan Tehreek-e-Insaf (PTI), urged the federal government to issue an official clarification and demanded that authorities allow his family to meet him immediately, Dawn reported.

The frenzy began after Khan’s three sisters called for an impartial probe into what they described as a “brutal” police assault on them and other PTI supporters outside Adiala Jail last week. Soon after, several social media handles circulated unverified claims alleging that Khan had been “killed” inside the prison.

The rumours intensified when a handle named “Afghanistan Times” claimed that “credible sources” had confirmed Khan’s “murder” and that his body had been moved out of the jail — allegations that have not been verified by any credible agency.

Imran Khan, PTI’s patron-in-chief, has been lodged in the Rawalpindi prison since August 2023 in multiple cases. For over a month, an undeclared restriction has prevented family members and senior PTI leaders from meeting him. Khyber-Pakhtunkhwa Chief Minister Sohail Afridi has reportedly been denied access despite making seven attempts.

In a letter to Punjab Police Chief Usman Anwar, Khan’s sisters — Noreen Niazi, Aleema Khan, and Dr. Uzma Khan — said they were “peacefully protesting” outside the jail when police allegedly launched an unprovoked assault after streetlights were switched off.

“At 71, I was seized by my hair, thrown to the ground and dragged across the road,” Noreen Niazi said, alleging that other women present were also slapped and manhandled.

Adiala Jail officials reiterated that speculation over Imran Khan’s health was unfounded and insisted that his well-being was being ensured, Geo News reported.
