United Nations Forces, comprised of United Kingdom, Belgium, Luxembourg, Philippines and South Korea troops in the vicinity of the Imjin River fell under direct attack when the Chinese Spring Offensive commenced on 22 April 1951.

The 29th British Independent Infantry Brigade Group, commanded by Brigadier Tom Brody, was under the most severe attack and was eventually surrounded by the enemy. An attempt to reinforce them failed due to harsh terrain and overwhelming enemy power.

The 1st Battalion, Gloucestershire Regiment, commanded by Lieutenant Colonel James Carne, bravely held out for more than three days against more than 30,000 Chinese troops. Of the 700 Gloucesters, only 40 men reached safety, the rest were captured or killed by the Chinese. Lt. Col. Carne was held at a Chinese POW Camp in North Korea till after the armistice agreement was signed. He spent 19 months in solitary confinement, and many of his men died due to harsh treatment at the camp.

The British 29th Brigade's brave stand provided UN Forces enough time to re-group and block the Chinese advance onto Seoul, but not without sacrifice, they suffered 1,091 casualties, including 622 of Glosters. The US lost 1,500 men either killed or missing in action, the South Koreans 8,000 and the other UN forces approximately 1,000 men. Chinese casualties were estimated at 70,000.

#Gaza #Israel #Netanyahu - Will the extraordinary amount of civilian casualties in Gaza continue? | DW News

19 March 2025

Israel has restarted strikes on Gaza, the fiercest since a now-expired ceasefire came into effect in January. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu says the recent airstrikes on Gaza are, "only the beginning." Gaza's Hamas-run health ministry says the strikes killed over 400 Palestinians, including many children.

The IDF has ordered evacuations in eastern Gaza, while Israelis have called for protests. In Tel Aviv, the families of hostages joined thousands protesting against the Israeli strikes on Gaza - accusing Netanyahu's government of sacrificing their relatives.

#Gaza #Israel - Israel blocks entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza | BBC News

2 March 2025

Israel has blocked the entry of all humanitarian aid into Gaza, demanding Hamas agree to a US plan for a ceasefire extension. The first phase of the ceasefire expired on Saturday, and Israel Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's office said Hamas had so far refused to accept a temporary extension under a proposal by Donald Trump's envoy, Steve Witkoff. A Hamas spokesman said blocking supplies to Gaza was "cheap blackmail”, and urged mediators to intervene. The initial phase of the ceasefire halted 15 months of fighting between Hamas and the Israeli military, allowing the release of 33 Israeli and five Thai hostages for about 1,900 Palestinian prisoners and detainees. But negotiations on phase two, including the release of all remaining living hostages and the withdrawal of Israeli troops from Gaza, have barely begun.

16 February 2025

Western ideals of morality and international law have been dealt a fatal blow by Israel’s war on Gaza, argues author Pankaj Mishra. Mishra, whose latest book is The World After Gaza: A History, tells host Steve Clemons that US and Israeli leaders are normalising the idea of mass expulsion of the two million Palestinians who live in the Gaza Strip and may eventually succeed in carrying it out as the world watches. The author dives into the racist logic behind some Western foreign policies and argues that India has lost “moral and diplomatic leadership” due to its support for Israel. #gaza #israel #donaldtrump #hamas #pankajmishra #india #palestine #aljazeeraenglish

#Trump #Gaza #ethniccleansing - After Trump's comments on Gaza, why were some media afraid of using the term ethnic cleansing? France 24 English

14 February 2025

US President Donald Trump's plan to take control of the Gaza Strip and clear out Palestinians has drawn international condemnation.

Western and Arab governments, the United Nations and human rights groups were all quick to say it was tantamount to ethnic cleansing. But many media outlets in the US and France did not make the same connection.

Why? Was it poor taste, bad judgment or something else?

Ethnic cleansing is the systematic forced removal of ethnic, racial, or religious groups from a given area, with the intent of making the society ethnically homogeneous.

#IsraelHamasWar #Israel #Gaza - Thousands in Gaza head north after Israeli forces withdraw from key corridor | DW News

9 January 2025

Israel's military has withdrawn from a key area in the Gaza Strip. The Netzarim Corridor is a six-kilometer militarized zone that was created by Israel in the early days of the war, cutting the territory in two. Palestinians are now moving between Gaza's north and south.

Tens of thousands fled to southern Gaza as Israel's war against Hamas intensified in the north. The withdrawal is part of the ceasefire deal with Hamas, which carried out the October 7 terror attacks.

#Isreal - Egyptian-Born Filmmaker Aims to Tell the Truth about October 7th Massacre: CBN News

23 January 2025

What would drive an Egyptian filmmaker, born a Muslim, to make a documentary about Israel's October 7th massacre? “The truth has to be told,” Majed al-Shafi told CBN News. “Israel has a special place in my heart, and God used Israel to save my life.” Born in Egypt and raised as a Muslim, Majed became a Christian and was persecuted for his faith. He fled to Israel because it was the only place in the Middle East where he could find asylum and now he’s in Canada where he started One Free World International. Fast forward to October 7th, and the film Majed made about that day, “Dying to Live,” so he could let Israelis know they’re not alone in this fight.

#Israel #Gaza #Hostages - Four hostages back in Israel after being freed in Gaza | DW News

25 January 2025

Israel says four hostages have been released by Hamas. It's the second such release under a ceasefire agreement that stopped the fighting in Gaza last weekend. Hamas brought the four women soldiers onto a stage in Gaza City, where they were handed over to the Red Cross.

They were then taken to Israel. The Palestinian militant group and allied groups captured some 250 hostages during the October 2023 terror attacks that began the war. Dozens of Palestinian prisoners are also set to be released from Israeli jails under the terms of the six-week truce.

A ceasefire deal agreed between Israel and Hamas has gone into effect after a nearly three-hour delay.

The statement came after Hamas named the three Israeli female captives to be freed on Sunday as Romi Gonen, Doron Steinbrecher and Emily Damari.

Netanyahu said earlier that Hamas had not lived up to its commitment to provide the names of the three captives it’s set to release in exchange for dozens of Palestinian prisoners.

#Israel - Gideon Levy on Israel's "Moral Blindness": Gaza Babies Freeze; Strikes Kill Medical Staff, Reporters: Democracy Now

27 December 2024

In northern Gaza, the director of the besieged Kamal Adwan Hospital says five medical workers were among 50 people killed in Israeli strikes near the hospital. Israeli forces then stormed the hospital and forced hundreds, including patients, into the streets.

This all comes as The New York Times has confirmed past reporting by +972 Magazine that on October 7, 2023, Israel loosened military rules meant to protect noncombatants in Gaza.

Award-winning Israeli journalist Gideon Levy decries the moral decay of Israel, which has gone so far as to open a luxurious rest area for soldiers in northern Gaza: "It's the same moral blindness to what's going on around you." Levy also discusses his latest piece, headlined "The IDF's Own Sickening 'Zone of Interest' in the Heart of Gaza."

#Israel #Gaza #GolanHeights - Airstrikes kill 10 in Gaza as Israel advances into Golan's demilitarized buffer zone | DW News

26 December 2024

Palestinian health authorities say at least ten people have been killed in separate Israeli strikes in Gaza. The strikes hit Gaza City in the north and Nuseirat in central Gaza. The toll includes five journalists from the Al-Quds televison network, which is affiliated with the Palestinian Islamic Jihad militant group. They were killed when their vehicle was hit outside a hospital. The Israeli military said it targeted the group's militants at the Nuseirat refugee camp. Israel's government has approved plans to double the population of Israeli settlers in the occupied Golan Heights, an area of Syria that Israel unilaterally annexed in 1981. The government's move comes in the wake of the fall of the Assad regime in Syria. The Israeli army has also advanced into Golan's demilitarized buffer zone in Syria and launched hundreds of airstrikes on Syrian military targets. DW Correspondent Emily Gordine reports from Ein Zivan in the occupied Golan Heights.

The Israeli military has carried out a wave of attacks across the Gaza Strip, hitting targets in Gaza City, Rafah and Khan Younis. A school sheltering displaced families and the Kamal Adwan Hospital, in northern Gaza, were among the sites hit, killing at least 28 Palestinians overnight and into recent hours.

Concerning the strike on the school, the Israeli military said that the school was a command and control centre being used by Hamas.
