Detenida por tráfico de drogas la ex mediadora social de Ripoll que trató a los terroristas del 17-A

El operativo de los Mossos para desmantelar la presunta red de tráfico de hachís se saldó con 30 arrestados

• 10 comentarios

Los Mossos d'Esquadra han detenido a la ex mediadora social de Ripoll (Girona) que trató a los terroristas de los atentados del 17 de agosto de 2017 en Barcelona y Cambrils Wafa Marsi, acusada de tráfico de drogas y pertenencia a organización criminal.

Según ha avanzado Ser Catalunya, Marsi fue arrestada este pasado martes, 11 de junio, junto con una treintena de personas vinculadas a una red de tráfico de hachís en un macrooperativo que los Mossos desplegaron en varias localidades catalanas junto a la Vigilancia Aduanera.

Ouafae Marsi, conocida como Wafa Marsi, de 37 años conocía personalmente a los autores de los atentados del 17-A y los llegó a tratar al haber sido mediadora social en la localidad de Ripoll durante varios años.

En la actualidad ha vuelto a aparecer en medios de comunicación y ha criticado a la alcaldesa de Ripoll, Sílvia Orriols, líder de Aliança Catalana y diputada en el Parlament.

Al parecer, los Mossos habrían detenido a Marsi como presunta integrante de una organización criminal que entraba grandes cantidades de hachís en Cataluña a través de desembarcos en varios puntos de la costa, según las mismas fuentes.

El operativo estalló el pasado martes y se saldó con 30 detenidos por tráfico de hachís tras varios registros y arrestos en distintos puntos de Cataluña, entre ellos la zona de Moià y varios puntos de la comarca de Osona.

En el operativo participaron hasta 200 agentes de las áreas de investigación, ARRO, BRIMO, Grupo Especial de Intervención, policía aérea, canina y seguridad ciudadana.

Spiritual Journey Made Easy

Merits of visiting the shrine of Imam Husain (a.s)

• Marefah of Ziar'ah

As Arbaeen is just around the corner, millions of mourners from all around the world are heading towards Karbala to pay their tribute to the Sayyid al-Shohada, Imam Husain (a), whereas, those who couldn’t make it to the holy land this time around are planning on visiting Karbala next year. Visiting the oppressed Imam (a) is an expression of one’s heartfelt affection with him and an explicit action signaling hostility and hatred towards his oppressors. Be it known that glorious merits and the exalted station of the visitor of Imam’s (a) holy shrine are too innumerable to be counted.

Visiting the grave of Imam Husain (a) is recommended, while emphasis upon visiting his grave is among the necessities of the Religion. The 11th Imam, Imam Hasan al-Askari (a) considered attending Arbaeen to be one of the apparent signs of a true believer when he said, “the signs of a true believer are five.” [1]

It is related that the visitation to His (a) grave is essential upon every believer and is obligatory upon every man and woman. While one who abandons it, in fact, has abandoned the rights of Allah and His Prophet while abandoning it is ungratefulness with the Prophet of Allah (s) and is a result of a defect in his belief and Religion. And the one who deliberately avoids it, he shall be among the dwellers of hell.

It is advisable to visit Imam Husain (a) with an understanding of his holy station. This knowledge has different aspects. One of its aspects is for us to realize which path are we walking on. We should know what the “Friends of God” have said about a person who goes to Karbala and what prayers are made for such a person. Knowing these gives you an expanded existence, which is necessary for attracting light, blessings, and grace on this path. It gives us the capacity to benefit from these blessings. [2]

As a matter of fact, it is impossible to contain all the narrations about the merits of pilgrimages to Imam al-Hussain’s tomb; yet, I will try to mention as many of them as possible.

1. RasoolAllah will take Zuwar by the hand and save them from the hardships of the Day of Judgment

Ali (a) ibn Abi Talib (as) narrates:

“RasoolAllah (s) visited Us one day. We offered Him a plate full of dates and a cup of milk and butter, which had been sent to Us from Um Ayman. After He ate, I rose and poured some water over His hands and I washed them. Then I wiped His face and beard with the water from His hands. Then He went to a corner of the house and began to pray. When He went into sajda, He began to weep. After weeping for a long time, He raised His head.

Then Hussain (a) went and climbed on the lap of RasoolAllah (s). Hussain (a) placed RasoolAllah (s)’s head on His chest and then laid His chin on top of the head of RasoolAllah (s). Then He said, “O Father (s)! What causes You to weep?”

RasoolAllah (s) replied, “O My Son (a)! When Is You, Ahlul Bayt (a), today I felt such happiness that I had never felt before, but then Jibrael (as) came to Me and informed Me that each of You will be martyred and that Your graves will be far from each other? I praised Allah and asked Him to bless You all with the best.”

Hussain (a) asked, “O Father (s)! Who will perform the Ziyarat of Our graves and maintain their oaths with Them even though They are far from each other?”

RasoolAllah (s) replied, “Those from My ummah (nation) who seek My pleasure and seek nearness to Me by performing Ziyarat of Your graves. On the Day of Judgment, I will search for them and take them by the hand and save them from the hardships and tribulations of that day.” [3]

2. Blessings from Angels

Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) narrates:

“There are four thousand disheveled angels covered with dust by the grave of Hussain (a). They weep over Him and will continue to do so until the Day of Judgment. Their leader is an angel named Mansoor.

These angels receive all who come for the Ziyarat of Hussain (a) and the angels accompany them when they bid farewell to Hussain (a). The angels visit them if they become ill and pray over them at their funerals and seek forgiveness for them after their death.” [4]

3. Ziyarat of Imam Husain is Wajib

Imam Muhammad Baqir (a) narrates:

“Order Our Shia to perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Hussain (a). Performing His Ziyarat is wajib upon every Momin who testifies that Hussain (a) is an Imam divinely appointed by Allah (SWT).” [5]

4. Reward of Ziyarat of Imam Husain

I heard My Father, Imam Muhammad Baqir (a), ask one of His servants who had just asked Him regarding the Ziyarat of Hussain (a), “To whose Ziyarat are you going and whom do you seek to please by going to this Ziyarat?”

The servant replied, “Allah SWT.”

My Father, Imam Muhammad Baqir (a) said:

“Those who establish one salat behind the grave of Hussain (a) seeking the nearness of Allah will meet Him on the Day of Judgment shining so brightly that the light emanating from them will cover everything that sees them.

Allah will honor those who perform the Ziyarat of Hussain (a) and will prevent the hellfire from touching them. They will not be prevented from coming to the Pool of al Kauthar and none shall precede them.

Ameerul Momineen (a) will be standing by al Kauthar and He will shake their hands and quench their thirst with the water.

Then they will go to their abodes in Jannah accompanied by an angel appointed by Ameerul Momineen (a). This angle will order Sirat (bridge over hellfire) to humble itself before them and will order Hell not to touch them with its blazing fires. They will pass over Sirat accompanied by the angel sent by Ameerul Momineen (a).” [6]

5. Ziyarat during Times of Fear

Muawiyah ibn Wahab narrates:

Aba Abdullah (Imam Jafar Sadiq a) said:

“O’ Muawiyah! Do not neglect to perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Hussain (a) due to fear. He who abandons the Ziyarat of Hussain (a) for any reason will regret it so much that he will wish that His grave was next to him. Do you not desire for Allah to see you amongst those whom RasoolAllah (s), Ameerul Momineen (a), Syeda Fatima (sa), and the Imams (a) pray for?

Do you not desire to be amongst those who return with forgiveness for their past sins and do you not desire to return from His Ziyarat with seventy years of sins forgiven for you? Do you not desire to be amongst those who will not have any sins about which they will be questioned when they leave this life? Do you not desire to be amongst those whose hands RasoolAllah (s) will shake tomorrow on the Day of Judgment?” [7]

6. Reward of Every Dirham spent for Ziyarat

It is related in numerous traditions that from Ahlulbayt (a) that,

“Visiting his grave is a meritorious deed and for every dirham spent upon it will be recompensed with one thousand dirhams”. [8]

7. Reward of performing Ziyarat on Foot

“Those of Our Shia who perform the Ziyarat of Hussain (a) will not return without all of their sins having been forgiven. Allah will record one thousand good deeds and erase one thousand bad deeds for every step they take or their mount takes. He will also raise their rank one thousand times for every step.” [9]

8. Reward of Allah , RasoolAllah (s), Ameerul Momineen (a), and Syeda Fatima (sa)

• Imam Jafar Sadiq (asws) narrates:

“Syeda Fatima (sa), the Daughter of RasoolAllah (s), visits those who perform the Ziarat of the grave of Her Son, Husain (as), and She seeks forgiveness for their sins.” [10]

“On the Day of Judgment a crier will call out, “Where are the zawwar (visitors) of Hussain (a) ibn Ali (a)?”

Several people so great it can only be counted by Allah will stand.  Allah will ask them, “What made you perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Hussain (a)?”

They will reply, “O Lord! Our love for RasoolAllah (s), our love for Ameerul Momineen (a), and our love for Syeda Fatima (sa) made us go to Him.”

They will be told, “Here is Muhammad (s), Ali (a), Syeda Fatima (sa), Hasan (a), and Hussain (a). Join Them, for you will be with Them on Their station in Jannah. Now follow the flag of RasoolAllah (s).”

Then they (the zawwar) will go to the flag of RasoolAllah (s) which is carried by Ameerul Momineen (a), and there they shall remain—surrounding it, under its shade, in front of it, to the left of it, to the right and behind it—until all of them enter Jannah.” [11]

• Abu Baseer narrates:

I heard Aba Abdullah Imam Muhammad Baqir (a) say, “Those who wish for their final abode to be Jannah should not neglect to perform the Ziyarat of the Oppressed One.”

I asked, “Who is the Oppressed One?”

Imam (a) replied, “Hussain (a) ibn Ali (a), the Man of Karbala. Allah will make those who perform His Ziyarat while longing for Him and with love for RasoolAllah (s), love for Syeda Fatima (sa), and love for Ameerul Momineen (a) to sit at the Ma’ida (table spread) of Jannah. They will be dining with them while others are facing the Hasab (accountability).” [12]

9. Time Spent whilst performing the Ziyarat

“The days which one spends performing the Ziyarat of Hussain (a) are not counted as part of their lives; those days do not deduct from their appointed life span.” [13]

10. First to Enter Jannah

Abdullah ibn Zurarah narrates from Imam Jafar Sadiq (a):

“On the Day of Judgment, those who have performed the Ziyarat of Hussain (a) ibn Ali (a) will be given preference over others.”

I asked, “What kind of preference?”

Imam (a) replied, “They will enter Jannah forty years before others do. They will enter Jannah whilst others will be waiting in the Desert of Judgment to face the Hasab (accountability).” [14]

11. While having his Marifat

Imam Musa Kazim (a) narrates:

“The least reward for those who perform the Ziyarat of Hussain (a) by the shores of the River Furat whilst having His marefah and believing in His greatness and Wilayat is the forgiveness for all of their past and future sins.” [15]

12. With Intention of Receiving Sawab

•  Imam Jafar Sadiq ( narrates:

“Those who perform the Ziyarat of Hussain (a) with the niyyat of receiving sawab from Allah and without the intention of showing off or being seen by others will have their sins purified the way the water purifies the clothes.” [16]

“Those who perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Hussain (a) for the sake of Allah and in the way of Allah will be free from the hellfire by Allah. They will be kept safe by Him on the Day of the Great Terror. They will not ask Allah for anything in this world or the hereafter that Allah will not grant for them.” [17]

13. Best of All Deeds

Salim ibn Mukram al Jamal narrates, I asked Aba Abdullah Imam Jafar Sadiq (a) regarding the Ziyarat of the grave of Hussain (a).

Imam (a) replied: “It is the best of all deeds.” [18]

14. Equal to Ziyarat of Allah on His Ars h & RasoolAllah (s)

• Imam Ridha’ ( narrates:

“Those who perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Aba Abdullah Imam Hussain (a) by the shores of the River Furat are like those who have performed the Ziyarat of Allah on His Arsh.” [19]

“Those who want their time of death to be easy, those who want their fear for that which will come on the Day of Judgment to be reduced, and those who want to be able to look upon Allah on the Day of Judgment should perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Hussain (a) as much as possible. The Ziyarat of Hussain (a) is the Ziyarat of RasoolAllah (s).” [20]

15. Prolongs One’s Life and Increases One’s Rizq

“Inform Our Shia to perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Hussain (a). Performing His Ziyarat increases rizq (sustenance), prolongs life, and keeps afflictions away. Performing His Ziyarat is wajib upon every momin who believes Hussain (a) has been divinely appointed by Allah as an Imam.” [21]

16. Equals to performing Hajj, Umrah & Freeing Slaves

It is related in numerous traditions that visiting the grave of Imam Hussain (a) is equal to accepted Hajj and Umrah, and emancipation of one thousand slaves, rather it is equal to twenty Hajj and better than twenty Hajj, rather Allah will write down eighty Hajj in his account. While his pilgrimage is equal to the Hajj performed along with the Prophet of Allah (s), rather the one who goes for his pilgrimage, being cognizant of his rights, will be equal to the one who has performed Hajj hundred times accompanying the Prophet of Allah (s). [22]

17. Intercession for others on the Day of Judgment

“On the Day of Judgment, a crier will call out, “Where are the zawwar of the grave of Hussain (a)?”

A group of people will rise and they will be told, “Take the hand of whomsoever you wish and take them to Jannah with you.” [23]

18. Misfortune for those who Neglect it

“Those from amongst Our Shia who does not perform the Ziyarat of the grave of Hussain (a) are lacking in iman (faith) and their deen (religion) is incomplete. And even if they enter Jannah, their position will be lower than that of the momin (true believers).” [24]

19. Most Beloved Place for Dua

Abi Hashim al Jafari narrates:

Muhammad ibn Hamzah and I (Abi Hashim al Jafari) went to visit Imam Ali Naqi (a) during a time when the Imam (a) was ill. The Imam (a) said to us, “Take some of My money and send some people to the Ha’yr on My behalf.”

After we left the Imam (a), Muhammad ibn Hamzah said, “The Imam (a) wants us to send someone to the Ha’yr while He is as sacred as the One in the Ha’yr (Imam Hussain a).”

When I returned to the Imam (a), I (Abi Hashim al Jafari) mentioned Muhammad ibn Hamzah had said to Him.

The Imam (a) replied, “There are certain places Allah loves to be worshipped at and the Ha’yr of Hussain (a) is one of those places.” [25]

20. Minimum Times Each Year a Person Should perform Ziyarat

Safwan al Jammal narrates from Imam Jafar Sadiq (a):

“Those who live near to His grave should perform His Ziyarat no less than once per month. Those who live at a great distance should perform His Ziyarat no less than once every three years.

If three years pass and they do not perform His Ziyarat or do not have a valid excuse for not performing His Ziyarat, then they are considered amongst those who are selfish and unthankful to RasoolAllah (s).

If the zaer (visitor) of Hussain (a) knew how happy he made RasoolAllah (s), Ameerul Momineen (a), Syeda Fatima (sa), the Imams (a), and the martyrs from amongst Our Family, and how They prayed for him (the zaer) and the rewards which They prepared for the zaer in this life and the rewards which will be preserved for Him before Allah in the hereafter, then the zaer would have wished for his house to be next to the grave of Hussain (a) for as long as he lived.

When the zaer leaves Karbala to return to his home, his shadow does not fall upon anything without that thing praying for him. And when the sun shines down upon the zaer, it burns his sins like the fire burns the wood. The sun does not allow any of his sins to remain so he returns as a person without sin and his status will be elevated for him to a level that cannot be attained even by those who spilled all of their blood in the way of Allah. [26]

Now, to give a brief overview about the sourcebook of the aforementioned narrations, I would like to quote widely known  Hadees e Saqalayn  where RasoolAllah (s) said,

“Verily, I am leaving behind two precious things (Saqalayn) among you: The Book of God and my kindred (itrah), my household (Ahlulbayt), for indeed, the two will never separate until they come back to me by the Pond (of Al-Kawthar).”

During the era of the occultation of Imam al-Asr al-Mahdi (atfs), the best possible way to recognize  Saqalayn , the twofold legacy of the Prophet (s) in the form of the Qur’an and the Ahlul Bayt (a), is through the valuable books, which we have inherited and preserved over the years from our great scholars.

Soon after the Minor Occultation (260 AH – 329 AH) of Imam al-Mahdi (a) ended, eminent Shia scholars started documenting the hadiths to preserve the teachings of the Holy Prophet (s) and his Progeny (a). Following is a brief timeline of the foremost Shia hadith sourcebooks.

• Al-Kafi, Yaqub al-Kulayni, d. 329 AH
• Kamil al-Ziyarat, Ibn Qulawayh al-Qummi, d. 368 AH
• Man la Yahduruh al-Faqih, Al-Shaykh Saduq, d. 381 AH
• Nehjul Balagha, Syed al-Razi, d. 406 AH
• Al-Irshad, Al-Shaykh al-Mufid, d. 413 AH
• Tahdhib al-Ahkam, Al-Shaykh al-Toosi, d. 460 AH
• Al-Istibsar, Al-Shaykh al-Toosi, d. 460 AH
• Gurar al-Hikam, Abu Fateh al-Amadi, d. 510 AH
• Bihar al-Anwaar, Allama Majlisi, d. 726 AH

The book mainly referred to here is  Kamil al-Ziyarat  [27] authored by Abul Qasim Jafar bin Muhammad bin Jafar bin Musa bin Qulawayh al-Qummi famously known as Ibn Qūlawayh who is one the prominent Shi’a hadith narrator hailed from a very knowledgeable and religious family. His father Abu Jafar Ibne Mohammad Ibne Jafar was a Muhaddith (narrator of traditions) and was well regarded in the field of jurisprudence (fiqh). His brother Abul Hussain Ali bin Mohammad bin Jafar bin Moosa bin Qulawayh was also a Muhaddith and one of the narrators of traditions in Kaamil-uz-Ziarat. Ibn Qūlawayh al-Qummi was among the best students of Muhammad bin Ya’qub al-Kulayni (b. 255 – d. 329) and one of the most prominent teachers of Al-Shaykh al-Mufid (b. 336 – d. 413). He died in 368 AH and is buried next to al-Shaykh al-Mufid in the holy shrine of al-Kazimayn, Iraq. [28]

It is important to note that Ibn Qulawayh al-Qummi is among the earliest  Muhadditheen  (narrators of hadith) who was also alive during the era of minor occultation and most of his work is taken as  Maakhaz  (origin/source) by the great Shia scholars of every era. Some of the notable scholars who have paid tribute to his work are Shaykh al-Toosi, Ahmed Najashi, Shaykh al-Mufid, Ibn Tawus, Allama Hilli, and Shaykh Abbas al-Qummi. [29] Ibn Qulawayh has written around 30 books, however,  Kamil al-Ziyarat  remains his most celebrated and notable accomplishment. This book is a collection of hadiths from Ahlulbayt (a) about how to pilgrimage the Prophet (s) and the other Imams and their children.

To conclude, there is no doubt that Imam Hussian (a) has not only awoken the human race by sacrificing everything that he had for the sake of Allah but also compelled its consciousness to ponder over the sanctity of his religion and the sublimity of Allah Almighty before whom He (a) bowed. In the words of the renowned subcontinental poet, Josh Malihabadi, [30]

The One, whose Sajood (bows), pulls towards the Masjood (whom one worships)

The One, who is a solitary indication towards the Ma’abood (the Creator)

Enormous rewards and merits for the pilgrims of Imam Hussain’s (a) holy shrine are the proof of Imam’s (a) extraordinary status and Allah’s love for Him (a) and his ardent zawwar. We pray to Allah that He grants us taufeeq, resources, and recognition of the highest order to perform the ziarat of Imam Husain (a) regularly.

O, Allah! Bless Muhammad (s) and the progeny of Muhammad (s).

Amjad Shawa of the Palestinian NGOs Network says “thousands” of families in Gaza, especially children, have been hit by a lack of food and water amid the ongoing war.

“From day one of this war, Israel declared that they will deny the entry of basic necessities – food, medicine, water and electricity to the Gaza trip,” he said.

“In this catastrophe, we have maximum 200 trucks coming in on good days. All of Gaza depends on humanitarian aid coming in through the crossings. These quantities are not enough to feed the children … most families are spending their days with less than one meal a day, many of them children.”

Moreover, Shawa said, it was very difficult to take those suffering from malnutrition to the hospitals.

“They are full of injured people. They are in the corridors and the medical teams are very busy dealing with them … who are coming in every hour to the hospital and ICU units,” he added.

Confusion abounds as US continuing to say Israel accepts ceasefire proposal

Reporting from Washington DC, United States

The US government has continued to paint the Israeli government as accepting Biden’s three-phase plan.

This is not necessarily so, given the fact that a number of government members in Israel have threatened to resign should the plan be adopted and put in place.

So certainly, there’s a degree of confusion about this, whereas, initially, the plan was actually posted as that coming from the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. This also apparently does not appear to be the case.

So the interests of reaching a resolution are not really served by the US continuing to insist that one of the parties to the negotiations has accepted the peace plan. This clearly is not the case, and this may well continue to confuse the issue.

Hamas says it has not heard any Israeli response regarding ceasefire proposal

Hamas says in a statement it has shown “full positivity” in efforts to reach a ceasefire agreement with Israel.

The Palestinian group also urged the US, Israel’s biggest ally, to pressure Israel to accept a deal leading to a permanent ceasefire in the enclave.

Hamas said that while US officials have said Israel has accepted a ceasefire proposal outlined by President Joe Biden on May 31, “we have not heard any Israeli official confirm this acceptance”.

Deaths reported after Israeli raid in central Gaza

Our colleagues at Al Jazeera Arabic report several people have been killed and more injured following an Israeli attack on a house in Nuseirat.

Earlier, our colleagues said an Israeli raid had targeted the Burj al-Louh area, west of the Nuseirat camp. It is not immediately clear if the two incidents are related.

Several injured in Israeli attack on central Gaza

Our Al Jazeera Arabic colleagues report that an Israeli raid has targeted the Burj al-Louh area, west of the Nuseirat camp.

Last week, an Israeli operation in Nuseirat left at least 274 people killed, and hundreds more injured.

Exact casualty numbers resulting from this attack are not available at this time, but we will update you as information comes in.

Famine in northern Gaza has reached a catastrophic point

A government official in the coastal enclave has spoken to Al Jazeera about the situation in the northern part of Gaza.

Here are his translated comments:

• The famine in the northern Gaza Strip has reached a catastrophic point, and most food commodities have run out.
• Hundreds of children and sick people are at risk of death as a result of the catastrophic famine.
• The relevant international institutions are not doing their duty to force the occupation to respect international laws.

Report: Biden administration concerned tensions on Lebanese border could escalate to war

A report from US news outlet Axios says, citing unnamed “US officials” that the government has grown “increasingly concerned” that tensions between Israel and Hezbollah will escalate into an all-out war.

The report adds that the US is “scrambling” behind the scenes to prevent the outbreak of war between the two parties, which have been exchanging limited fire near-daily since the outbreak of Israel’s war on Gaza.

The US has warned Israel against notions that it could wage a “limited war” against Hezbollah, according to the report, saying that Iran could flood Lebanon with militants from militias aligned with it in the region, from countries like Syria and Iraq.

“The White House believes that a ceasefire in Gaza is the only thing that would significantly de-escalate the tensions on the Israeli-Lebanese border,” the report adds.

Situation in al-Mawasi ‘extremely dangerous’

Reporting from Deir el-Balah, central Gaza

Witnesses say the Israeli military has been ramping up the military attacks generally across Rafah.

We saw families today fleeing from Israeli bombardment in al-Mawasi, going to Khan Younis and to central parts of the Gaza Strip.

We spoke to them, and they confirmed the situation there is extremely critical and dangerous. Palestinians are no longer able to reside in that area because of the unrelenting attacks carried out by the Israeli army.

Fighting is ongoing in other parts of Rafah between Hamas and Israeli soldiers, close to the western part of the city and the Philadelphi Corridor (border zone with Egypt).

Blinken ‘lacks neutrality, even-handedness’: Hamas

Hamas official Taher al-Nunu has accused US Secretary of State Antony Blinken of bias for blaming the Palestinian group for the failure to reach an agreement, saying the top US diplomat has been acting like he is Israel’s foreign minister since the start of the war.

“He lacks neutrality. He lacks even-handedness. He operates with double standards. He is trying to portray the [Palestinian] resistance as if it is the party obstructing the deal,” al-Nunu told Al Jazeera.

He said Hamas accepted the proposal presented by Qatar and Egypt on May 6 as it was, and it was Israel that added amendments to it. Hamas’s response on Tuesday represented counter-revisions to some of the Israeli changes, al-Nunu said.

He stressed that Hamas agrees to the principles of the United Nations Security Council resolution that backed the deal, outlining four elements that the Palestinian group is seeking: permanent ceasefire, withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza, reconstruction of the territory and “serious” prisoner exchange.

According to al-Nunu, Hamas’s response aimed to deliver a single agreement with interconnected stages – to ensure that Israel would not renege on the deal and resume the war after the first phase, which would see the release of some of its captives in Gaza.

Asked whether Hamas would be flexible about demands that Blinken labelled “not workable”, al-Nunu said it is “normal” for parties engaged in negotiations to accept or reject amendments to a proposal.

“The ball is in Israel’s court, which is what the US administration is trying to return to us. Netanyahu is the one responsible so far for obstruction by not agreeing to what we sent to the mediators,” he added.

Families of Israeli captives continue to protest for prisoner swap deal

Video verified by Al Jazeera shows crowds of protesters, including the captives’ families, demonstrating to demand that the government of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu make a deal with Hamas that will see their loved ones exchanged for Palestinians held in Israeli jails.

The protests, ongoing for much of the war, have taken on an anti-government tone in recent months, as some demonstrators have begun openly calling for an end to Israel’s war on Gaza and early elections in Israel in order to replace Netanyahu.

The most recent iteration of a ceasefire deal, backed by the United Nations, is currently being pushed by the United States as US Secretary of State Antony Blinken makes another trip to the region to meet with mediators.

After Hamas responded to the proposal yesterday, Blinken said today that some of the amendments suggested by Hamas to the proposal for a truce in Gaza are not “workable”, but efforts to reach an agreement are continuing.

Israeli army target women in occupied East Jerusalem

Footage shared on local Palestinian Telegram channels shows Israeli forces attacking a group of women in the Old City.

The video, verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit Sanad, shows several Israeli soldiers shoving the women and striking them with their weapons. One woman can be seen crying out in pain.

Yemen’s Houthis target ship, the Tutor, in Red Sea

The group’s military spokesman Yahya Saree made the announcement in a televised speech.

The ship was hit and is facing the danger of sinking, Saree added.

Moreover, they also carried out a joint military operation with the Islamic Resistance in Iraq targeting sites in the Israeli cities of Ashdod and Haifa.

Pro-Palestine supporters target NYC locations with paint to protest war

New York Mayor Eric Adams says the homes of Brooklyn Museum director Anne Pasternak and members of the museum’s board of trustees were among the locations hit.

The activists threw red paint across their entrances in opposition to the Israeli war on Gaza.

Red paint was also splashed across the front of buildings associated with the German consulate, as well as the Permanent Observer Mission of the State of Palestine to the United Nations, where flyers critical of the Palestinian Authority and its president, Mahmoud Abbas, were also scattered outside the building.

US, UK forces hit western Yemen targets: Report

The Houthi-affiliated media outlet Al Masirah says US and UK forces struck the al-Jabana area west of Hodeidah.

The Houthis have attacked ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden and fired missiles and drones at Israeli targets in a show of support for Palestinians in war-battered Gaza, drawing anger from Western nations.

The US and allies have bombed Houthi targets in Yemen since January, but the military campaign has not deterred Houthi attacks. The group pledged to continue targeting Israel-linked ships as long as the war on Gaza, which has killed more than 37,000 people, continues.

Israeli education minister: Hezbollah attacks could disrupt coming school year

Israeli broadcaster Channel 13 has quoted Yoav Kisch, who said that if the “reality” in northern Isreal, where Hezbollah has launched daily attacks on Israeli military positions and settlements, does not change by August 1, “The school year will not open.”

Currently, there are fires raging in northern Isreal, after the Lebanese group attacked Israel with one of the largest rocket barrages it has unleashed since the beginning of the war.

The launch of close to 100 projectiles this morning came in response to the killing of a senior Hezbollah commander in southeastern Lebanon in a strike the previous evening.

The attacks raise concerns that the military confrontation between Israel and Hezbollah is escalating, with both sides saying they are prepared for war.

WATCH: What have regional countries done to help Palestinians?

Israel’s war on Gaza has killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and created a humanitarian disaster.

A conference in Jordan saw a push by world powers to get more aid to those in need. But a major relief effort will likely depend on a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s blockade of the Gaza Strip.

Could regional powers be doing more to help? And are both sides serious about the latest ceasefire proposals?

Our panel of experts helps break down what’s at stake and what will become of the latest US-proposed ceasefire.

Watch the discussion below:

Qassam Brigades hit Israeli forces in northern Gaza

The armed wing of Hamas says it has targeted the headquarters of Israeli forces in the Netzarim axis, south of Gaza City with a 114mm (4.5-inch) missile.

Earlier, the Qassam Brigades said its fighters were engaged in fierce clashes with Israeli forces east of the Zeitoun neighbourhood in Gaza City.

More than 60% of Gaza residents report losing family members in war: Poll

A poll by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research has also found that nearly 80 percent of Gaza residents polled say that at least one of their family members has been killed or injured in the current Israeli war.

Nevertheless, two-thirds of the public support the October 7 Hamas attack on Israel and nearly 80 percent believe it has placed the Palestinian issue at the centre of global attention, according to the polling data.

The survey explains, “It is important to note that support for this attack, as we will see later, does not necessarily mean support for Hamas and does not mean support for any killings or atrocities committed against civilians.

Support comes from another motive: findings suggest that more than 80 percent of Palestinians believe that the attack has put the Palestinian issue at the center of attention and eliminated years of neglect at the regional and international levels.”

The survey includes respondents from the West Bank and the Gaza Strip, but does not include residents of the northern Gaza Strip who remained in their homes since the beginning of the war due to the inability of researchers to reach them and the lack of reliable data on their numbers and whereabouts.

Findings indicate that two-thirds of the public expect Hamas to win the war on Gaza, but this percentage drops to only about half in the Gaza Strip. Also, only half of Gaza Palestinians expect Hamas to return to controlling the Strip after the war.

Demand for Palestinian Authority President Abbas’s resignation is increasing, the findings suggested, as well as a rise in the popularity of Hamas and Marwan Barghouti. The survey also indicates a significant drop in the Gaza Strip in support for the two-state solution, while support for armed struggle rises and support for dissolving the PA stands at more than 60 percent.

Reports Israeli of attacks on Mawasi, near Rafah

Al Jazeera’s correspondents in Gaza are reporting intense Israeli army shelling of the Mawasi area, adjacent to the southern city of Rafa, on Gaza’s coast.

The area has been used over the course of Israel’s war as a so-called humanitarian safe zone, which the Israeli army has told Palestinians fleeing violence to evacuate, too.

According to reports, the Israeli military warned NGOs and the Palestinian Red Crescent to “take ultimate precautions” in the Mawasi area.

So far, reports are of shelling only. At least one house hit.

We will update you on the situation in Mawasi as information develops.

Several wounded in Israeli attack on central Gaza

Palestinians are sharing videos on social media showing several people injured after an Israeli attack on a home in the Bureij refugee camp.

The video, verified by Al Jazeera’s fact-checking unit Sanad, shows a child being treated on the floor of a hospital.

250 days on, Israel continues to carry out crimes against detainees: Rights group

The Palestinian Prisoners’ Club has said that Israeli authorities continue to hold 9,170 Palestinians from the West Bank, including East Jerusalem, in prisons, where they are being subject to systemic violence.

In a statement, the organisation said there has been an increase in detentions since October 7 and also in the “level of crimes that accompany the arrest campaigns, most notably field executions carried out by the army as it raids towns and villages”.

Israeli forces, the organisation said, have focused on the families of prisoners, especially fathers, and those who had previously been arrested, in addition to the families of those killed – subjecting them to harassment and threats.

“Israeli authorities have been carrying out crimes against detainees for decades. The difference since the war began, however, is the intensity of these assaults and the fact that the occupation has institutionalised these violations at unprecedented levels,” it said.
