In a detailed statement issued on Friday, the ministry noted that since the start of the war in October 2023, occupation forces had either completely or partially destroyed roughly 40 out of Gaza’s 60-strong cemeteries.

It further denounced Israeli forces for perpetrating a new crime by storming the historic Turkish cemetery in the al-Mawasi area west of the city of Khan Yunis in southern Gaza.

According to the ministry, Israeli tanks and bulldozers rolled into the site at dawn on Thursday, demolishing graves and exhuming corpses.

The ministry condemned the outrage as “a scene that transcends the limits of humanity and [is] devoid of all religious and international values and norms,” noting that occupation forces had not only destroyed graves, but also “stole the bodies of martyrs and the dead.”

The assault coincided with Israeli forces demolishing camps for internally displaced persons (IDPs) encircling the cemetery, uprooting hundreds of families, who had sought refuge there from relentless bombardment.

The ministry stressed that such coordinated attacks deepened Gaza’s already catastrophic humanitarian crisis.

The US military’s turn to containerized missile launchers reflects a push for stealthy, mobile firepower that complicates targeting and enables rapid deployment but comes with operational, legal, and political concerns – especially regarding their use on allied soil and civilian cargo vessels.

This month, The War Zone identified a prototype launcher known as the palletized field artillery launcher (PFAL) at Fort Bragg, after it appeared unannounced in footage from US President Donald Trump’s June visit.

Currently owned by US Special Operations Command (SOCOM), PFAL can fire most munitions in the multiple launch rocket system (MLRS) family – such as 227 millimeter guided rockets and Army tactical missile system (ATACMS) – from two pods housed in a standard container, though it cannot launch the precision strike missile (PrSM).

Concealable on trucks, railcars, or ships, PFAL supports the Army’s strategy to complicate adversary targeting. Originating from the US Department of Defense’s Strike X program, it also informed designs for future uncrewed systems like the autonomous multi-domain launcher (AML).

Containerized launchers like PFAL offer operational benefits– concealability, rapid mobility and modular integration across partner platforms. Yet their covert nature also introduces tactical weaknesses, legal risks and political complications. While these systems enhance deterrence through ambiguity and dispersion, they risk civilian targeting, escalation and backlash from host nations wary of entanglement.

In remarks delivered at a June 2025 event hosted by the Center for Strategic and International Studies (CSIS), US Army Pacific Commander General Ronald Clark stated that such systems “literally operationalize deterrence,” likening them to “a needle in a stack of needles” due to their ambiguous electromagnetic signatures and visual resemblance to civilian containers.

He emphasized that their dispersed posture enables US forces to hold Chinese targets at risk across the Indo-Pacific, while avoiding traditional launcher vulnerabilities.

In a June 2025 Proceedings article, Rear Admiral Bill Daly and Captain Lawrence Heyworth IV emphasized advantages of modular, containerized payloads: low cost, ease of production and quick scalability. They noted that mounting them on unmanned or optionally manned vessels increases survivability and complicates targeting. A standardized interface allows for rapid reconfiguration, while adaptability enables distributed maritime operations with flexible firepower suited to near-peer conflicts.

Officially known as Krome Detention Center, the 5,000-bed Department of Homeland Security (DHS) immigration detention facility located on the grounds of a rarely used municipal airport approximately 20 miles west of Miami last week began receiving people arrested during the Trump administration’s mass deportation campaign. While U.S. President Donald Trump and other proponents of the prison have sadistically joked about alligators eating escaping prisoners, the biggest dangers faced by detainees are found inside the facility’s walls.

“I don’t know their motive for doing this, if it’s a form of torture,” he added. “A lot of us have our residency documents and we don’t understand why we’re here.”

Another inmate, the Cuban reggaeton artist Leamsy La Figura, said guards “only brought a meal once a day and it had maggots.”

“They’re not respecting our human rights,” one detainee told CBS News Miami during a phone interview. “We’re human beings; we’re not dogs. We’re like rats in an experiment.”

“They never take off the lights for 24 hours,” he claimed. “The mosquitoes are as big as elephants,” and “there’s no water to take a bath, it’s been four days since I’ve taken a bath.”

A Colombian detainee said his mental health is breaking down. “I’m on the edge of losing my mind. I’ve gone three days without taking my medicine,” he said. “It’s impossible to sleep with this white light that’s on all day.”

“They took the Bible I had and they said here there is no right to religion,”

In a statement, the group announced it had completely infiltrated the network, shutting down its systems, servers, and communications infrastructure.

The group said it successfully extracted sensitive internal data, including confidential communications, personal staff information, financial records, and correspondence with foreign entities.

One of the most significant breaches, according to the hackers, was access to the channel’s primary message-receiving account, long used as a secure contact point for informants.

Hanzala said it held the full identity dossiers of more than 71,000 individuals who have communicated with the network.

The group said according to its analysis Iran International was operating as a “spy and media-infiltration network” under the direction of the Mossad, dressing up as an independent news outlet.

It has already released some identity data of the channel’s personnel and stated that more selected materials from the data cache will be made public soon.

The channel confirmed the breach, attributing the leak to unauthorized access to the computers of the targeted staff.
