Hamas announces 500-shekel payments to tens of thousands of ‘Al-Aqsa Flood’ widows.

Jusoor News International. February 05, 2026.
 +
GAZA, Feb. 5 (Jusoor) – Hamas plans to disburse 500 shekels – some US $160 – to every widow of those killed in the “Al-Aqsa Flood War,” the group announced Wednesday. Payment would be made to as many as 50,000 widowed families, it said, amounting to total disbursements of some 25 million shekels (US $8 million).
 +
 +
Though not stated explicitly in the statement, it was widely understood in Gaza that the reference to “Al-Aqsa Flood” – Hamas’s term for its October 7, 2023 onslaught – meant the lion’s share of aid would go to the widows of Hamas members, who have been provided their own designated tent camps.
 +
 +
“The Ministry of Social Development – Gaza announces… financial assistance of 500 shekels to be disbursed as part of the ‘We Support You’ project for widows of the Al-Aqsa Flood War,” the announcement said. Funds would come from "what the Ministry of Economy collected from merchant violations, estimated at $25 million, since the last ceasefire agreement."
 +
 +
Jusoor has reported extensively on Hamas demanding exorbitant “fees” from merchants, often under the pretext that the shopowners were exploiting wartime shortages to charge customers extortionate prices. At the same time, the group has levied its own exorbitant new “taxes” on everything from cigarettes to food to sites for pitching tents in displaced people’s camps.

'You’ll see chaos': Gazan-born Jewish convert warns West of Islamist ideology.
 +
Dor Shachar, who watched Hamas rise from the inside, says they are reflective of the culture that elected them. ‘The majority chose Hamas’.

 +
Feb 7, 2026.
 +
As  a boy in Khan Younis, [Dor] Shachar’s earliest lessons about Jews came from  his own grandfather. The older man would invite Jewish visitors for  coffee and bread, yet in a different breath urged his grandson to “free  the land” one day, by killing Jews.
 +
“I  said to myself, ‘how can it be? On one side he invites them for food  and drink, and on the other he says to kill them.’ From a young age I  understood something is wrong.”
 +
His  neighbours included names that would later become synonymous with  terror: Yahya Sinwar, Mohammed Deif and bombmaker Yahya Ayyash. “I knew  them well,” he recalled, describing them as “community faces” alongside  others from Hamas, Islamic Jihad, Fatah and the PLO. He knew that some  neighbours — and his own brothers — had killed Israelis.
 +
In  the open market, he says he once saw Sinwar sever the head of a  Palestinian accused of collaborating with Israel, amid cheering  onlookers. Another time, he and his mother found a head in the market  street. “They said he was suspected of cooperating with Israel,” he  noted. Bystanders were nonchalant, as he remembers it.
 +
He recalled children’s television shows that preached “‘go and kill the  Jews.’” In mosques, he recalled sheikhs shouting that killing Jews was  “the greatest commandment” and “Allah’s will.”
 +
Schools  run by the United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestine  Refugees (UNRWA) were little different: Jews were “pigs, dogs and  infidels” who did not deserve to live, and children were told Israelis  had one eye in the forehead, or three legs.
 +
“But  I knew the soldiers, and they’d given me candy sometimes. They don’t  have one eye in the forehead — they aren’t like that. The Jews who came  to the market in Khan Yunis to give us food aid didn’t have one eye in  the forehead. The Jews who came to the weddings of our neighbours didn’t  have three legs or an eye in the forehead.”
 +
Inculcating violence was part of the curriculum. “Every child learned  how to throw stones at Jews because they teach it. The teacher would  tell us to go out and throw stones; then come back and open books as  though we were studying. When the soldiers came, they saw little  children studying. After the soldiers left, the teachers laughed —  ‘these pigs, these dogs, these betrayers, these Jews, we will slaughter them like Hitler did.’”

Ihab Hassan @IhabHassane:
 +
Another horrific crime in Gaza at the hands of Hamas militias.
 +
 +
Ahmad Ayman Mahmoud Khamis (Al-Mawasi) was murdered in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Yunis on February 1, when Hamas militias shot him in the head.
 +
 +
His family later issued a statement holding Hamas responsible for his killing, stating that one of its members carried out the shooting and calling for those responsible to be held accountable.
 +
 +
It is unacceptable that many human rights groups remain silent and continue to refuse to address or condemn Hamas’ crimes against Palestinian civilians in Gaza.

Aizenberg @Aizenberg55:

The Gaza death toll narrative depends on pretending Hamas never kills Gazans. In reality, Hamas & PIJ killed 1000s from internal violence and misfired rockets—then get counted as civilians killed by IDF. Numerous reports and incidents like the one below document this clearly.

Israeli envoy: Palestinians seeking ‘back door’ status upgrade via UN General Assembly presidency.
 +
Riyad Mansour's bid "is a blatant attempt to upgrade the status of the Palestinian delegation at the United Nations," tweeted Danny Danon.
 +
JNS Staff. (Feb. 8, 2026 / JNS)
 +
Israeli Ambassador to the United Nations Danny Danon on Saturday accused the Palestinian Authority of trying to upgrade its status at the world body “through the back door” by seeking the presidency of the General Assembly.
 +
 +
Riyad Mansour’s bid “is a blatant attempt to upgrade the status of the Palestinian delegation at the United Nations through the back door, to turn the General Assembly into a platform for anti-Israel propaganda, and to undermine the U.N.’s objectives,” tweeted Danon.
 +
 +
While Mansour “pretends to represent the Palestinians,” according to Danon, Ramallah’s U.N. representative “continues to engage in self-promotion and the systematic erosion of the institution’s credibility.
 +
 +
“This is what politicization looks like—draining the General Assembly of substance,” the Israeli diplomat concluded.

Pentagon cuts ties with Harvard, weighing other Ivies, civilian schools.

The U.S. Defense Department said on Friday that it is cutting ties with Harvard University, since soldiers studying at the Ivy League school no longer meets the Pentagon’s needs.

“For too long, this department has sent our best and brightest officers to Harvard, hoping the university would better understand and appreciate our warrior class,” stated Pete Hegseth, the U.S. defense secretary.
 +
 +
“Instead, too many of our officers came back looking too much like Harvard—heads full of globalist and radical ideologies that do not improve our fighting ranks,” he stated.

Senior Hamas leader Khaled Mashaal on Sunday reiterated the terrorist group’s opposition to U.S. President Donald Trump’s demand to lay down arms and vowed “to defeat our enemy, Israel, God willing.”
 +
 +
Speaking at the 17th Al Jazeera Forum in Doha, Qatar, Mashaal said that the Islamist group would not disarm during the current Phase 2 of Trump’s plan, which calls for Hamas to lay down its weapons with the deployment of an International Stabilization Force to the Gaza Strip.

UK Conservatives seek retrial of acquitted Elbit intruders.
 +
Shadow Home Secretary Chris Philp said the verdicts could legitimize violence tied to political protest.
 +
JNS Staff. (Feb. 8, 2026 / JNS)
 +
A top member of the U.K. Conservative Party on Thursday called for a retrial of six individuals acquitted of burglary charges despite admitting to breaking into a factory owned by Israel’s Elbit Systems firm in 2024.
 +
 +
“There is no justification for this violence, no matter how strongly someone feels about a cause,” Chris Philp, who is the Conservatives’ point person for internal affairs, including law enforcement, wrote to Stephen Parkinson, the director of Public Prosecutions, as per a report in The Telegraph.
 +
 +
“The verdict risks giving the green light to mob violence in pursuit of a political objective,” Philp wrote of the acquittals on Wednesday in a trial of six anti-Israel activists. They admitted during the trial to breaking into a Bristol building owned by Elbit, a defense contractor, on Aug. 6, 2024.
 +
 +
A jury cleared defendants of aggravated burglary charges, but they may face a retrial on additional charges of criminal damage and violent disorder. The jury reached partial or no verdicts on those counts, according to the BBC’s report of the conclusion of the trial, which began on Nov. 17 at Woolwich Crown Court in the British capital.
 +
 +
A police officer testified that one of the intruders, Samuel Corner, had hit her with a hammer, causing her lasting injuries.
 +
 +
The Police Federation, representing frontline officers, also wrote to Parkinson, saying they had “serious concerns” about the “operational and safety” implications of the decisions for officers handling protests and public order.
 +
 +
The Federation noted rhetoric by Zack Polanski, the Green Party leader, who welcomed the verdicts as a “moral vindication.” His words “risked sending a message, intentional or not, that injury to police officers is an acceptable or incidental concern of political protest,” the Federation wrote.
 +
 +
The jurors found three defendants—Fatema Rajwani, Zoe Rogers and Jordan Devlin—not guilty of violent disorder, though they did not deliver a verdict on the criminal damage charges. The remaining defendants— Corner, Charlotte Head and Leona Kamio—may face a retrial for both additional charges, The Guardian reported.
 +
 +
All of the defendants except Devlin told jurors that they entered the factory without permission and damaged Elbit’s equipment, including computers and drones. The jury deliberated for 36 hours but did not reach verdicts on the criminal damage charges against any of the defendants, the BBC report said.
 +
 +
During the trial, a police officer testified that Corner, 23, had beaten her. Corner denied this, according to The Guardian. The prosecution showed footage it said was of Corner assaulting the officer at the Elbit Systems factory near Bristol on Aug. 6, according to the BBC.
 +

The British government outlawed Palestine Action, which was established in 2020, and declared it to be a terrorist organization in July following a series of similar break-ins and what the group called “occupations” of firms with Israeli ties.

Netanyahu: Epstein-Barak ties suggest two worked to subvert Israeli democracy.
 +
Netanyahu said Epstein’s close ties to the former PM actually prove “the opposite” of claims that the convicted sex offender worked for Israel.
 +
JNS Staff.
 +
(Feb. 8, 2026 / JNS)
 +
Jeffrey Epstein’s “unusual close relationship” with former Prime Minister Ehud Barak suggests the American multimillionaire was working to “undermine Israeli democracy,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said on Friday.
 +
 +
Netanyahu in a social media post charged that Epstein’s close ties to Barak actually prove “the opposite” of claims that the convicted sex offender, who died in prison in 2019, was employed by the Jewish state in any capacity.
 +
 +
According to Netanyahu, “Barak has for years obsessively attempted to undermine Israeli democracy by working with the anti-Zionist radical left in failed attempts to overthrow the elected Israeli government.”
 +
 +
The current prime minister continued, “Barak’s personal fixation led him to engage in activities publicly and behind the scenes to undermine the government of Israel, including fueling mass protest movements, fomenting unrest and feeding false media narratives.”

The Islamic Republic “has paid a very heavy price for its peaceful nuclear program and for uranium enrichment,” Abbas Araghchi claimed during a forum in the capital, according to AFP.

“Why do we insist so much on enrichment and refuse to give it up even if a war is imposed on us? Because no one has the right to dictate our behavior,” he continued.
