This Day in History: , The Stonewall
Riots Begin.

They began after midnight
at the Stonewall Inn on
Christopher Street in
Greenwich Village.
Police raided the popular gay club for
operating without a liquor license.

apology for its role in the
riots — and for the laws
that led to them — in 2019

In a shocking revelation, the Israeli Ministry of Military Affairs reports that over 10,000 Israeli forces have been affected by trauma in the ongoing Gaza conflict. The report highlights severe physical injuries, with 37% of troops suffering from limb trauma and 35% diagnosed with PTSD. Since the war began on October 7 last year, more than 300 Israeli forces have died. This escalation, which began as a response to the al-Aqsa Storm operation by Gaza’s resistance groups, has led to nearly 40,000 Palestinian deaths, predominantly women and children. As Israeli authorities release casualty figures sparingly, questions arise about whether the true cost of the war is being hidden. Hamas demands a ceasefire and the return of captives, while Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vows to continue until Hamas is eliminated—a goal deemed impossible by many. Explore the impact of this ongoing conflict and the controversy surrounding the reporting of casualties.

In a significant escalation of hostilities, US and UK coalition forces carried out an airstrike on Kamaran Island in Yemen's Hodeidah Governorate on Monday, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in Yemen. This latest aggression comes as part of a broader campaign aimed at curbing Yemeni support for the Palestinian cause amidst the ongoing Al-Aqsa Flood battle. The airstrike on Kamaran Island, strategically located in the Red Sea, is the latest in a series of attacks targeting Yemeni territory. These assaults have led to numerous casualties, yet they have not deterred the Yemeni Armed Forces from continuing their operations against Israeli positions in the occupied Palestinian territories. The Yemeni forces have also established a formidable deterrent presence at sea, targeting vessels en route to occupied ports, further intensifying the conflict.

Hezbollah has unleashed a massive rocket attack on an Israeli military position in the northern occupied territories, targeting the newly established headquarters of the 146th Division. The assault is a direct response to Israel’s ongoing strikes on civilian areas in southern Lebanon and is also intended to show support for Palestinians in Gaza. With Israel’s Iron Dome failing to intercept most of the missiles, the attack has sparked a major fire in Galilee and intensified the conflict. Hezbollah’s Secretary General, Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah, has vowed to defend Lebanon and avenge recent assassinations of key figures. Watch to see how this escalation might affect the region.

Israeli television has broadcast disturbing CCTV footage that allegedly shows Israel Defense Forces (IDF) soldiers sexually abusing a Palestinian detainee at the Sde Teiman detention facility in the Negev region. The video, which has sparked widespread outrage, shows dozens of prisoners lying face down with their hands on their heads, while one prisoner is led away to a secluded corner where the alleged abuse takes place. The footage reveals three soldiers using shields to obscure their actions from view, while a military dog on a lead barks fiercely just a metre away from the detainee. The incident, which reportedly occurred in July, has drawn severe criticism from international bodies and governments.
