Israeli army unveils footage it says shows hostages at Gaza hospital
23 Sept 04:51Key points summarised by AI
The Israeli military released security camera footage it claims shows Hamas militants bringing hostages into Gaza's Al-Shifa hospital on October 7.
The footage is presented as evidence supporting Israel's repeated assertion that Hamas uses Al-Shifa as a command base, a claim denied by both militants and hospital staff.
Israel further detailed the discovery of a 55-meter terror tunnel beneath Al-Shifa and stated that hostage Noa Marciano was murdered by Hamas inside the hospital after being injured in nearby combat.
Hamas dismissed the footage, reiterating that they had taken some captives to hospitals for treatment, particularly those wounded by Israeli airstrikes.
Macron condemns those who 'sought to bring down the Republic' after rioting mars nationwide protests
19 Oct 12:56Key points summarised by AI
President Macron condemned widespread rioting and looting during nationwide protests, blaming far-left activists and criminals for the "unrestrained violence" and vowing accountability for those who "sought to bring down the Republic."
Over 2,400 arrests were made as protests against rising living costs and poor school conditions escalated, causing extensive damage to public buildings and businesses in cities like Paris, Limoges (where City Hall burned), Marseille, and Lyon.
The unrest, which organizers hoped would revive the "yellow vest" movement, saw political leaders trade blame, with Macron instructing prefects to protect public buildings and potentially ban future protests to prevent further disorder.
