(Adnkronos) – “Up until today you have done nothing to release the hostages! How can you ask for a ceasefire before doing everything possible to bring the hostages home?”. This was said by the Israeli ambassador to the UN, Gilad Erdan, speaking at the Security Council debate on the hostage situation in Gaza. “If the Council really wants the war to end,” he added, “it should put the issue of hostage release at the top of the agenda.” Several drones were launched from Lebanon towards the Western Galilee, setting off sirens in numerous communities. According to the IDF, at least one of the drones was shot down by air defenses over the sea and a second drone crashed near the northern community of Ga’aton. New sirens sounded in the Upper Galilee due to a suspected drone incursion. Spain has refused permission for a weapons ship bound for Israel to call at the south-eastern port of Cartagena.

According to El Pais, the ship is carrying almost 27 tons of explosive material from Madras, India. —internazionale/[email protected] (Web Info)
