TNA’s live coverage of the latest from the war on Gaza concludes for today. Join us again at 0800 GMT for updates from the besieged Palestinian enclave.
 

A spokesperson for the UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs in Gaza told Al Jazeera English that the killing of people searching for food is unacceptable.

They emphasised the urgent need to protect civilians, ensure accountability, and investigate incidents involving aid.

The spokesperson also warned that the humanitarian situation in Gaza is at an unprecedented level, with people being left to starve.

Iran-linked hackers have threatened to disclose more emails stolen from U.S. President Donald Trump's circle, after distributing a prior batch to the media ahead of the 2024 U.S. election.

In online chats with news agencu Reuters on Sunday and Monday, the hackers, who go by the pseudonym Robert, said they had roughly 100 gigabytes of emails from the accounts of White House Chief of Staff Susie Wiles, Trump lawyer Lindsey Halligan, Trump adviser Roger Stone and porn star-turned-Trump antagonist Stormy Daniels.

Robert raised the possibility of selling the material but otherwise did not provide details of their plans. The hackers did not describe the content of the emails.

Halligan, Stone, a representative for Daniels and the U.S. cyberdefense agency CISA did not immediately respond to requests for comment.

The White House and the FBI responded with a statement from FBI Director Kash Patel, who said: "Anyone associated with any kind of breach of national security will be fully investigated and prosecuted to the fullest extent of the law."

Iran's mission to the United Nations did not immediately return a message seeking comment.

Tehran has in the past denied committing cyberespionage.

Robert materialized in the final months of the 2024 presidential campaign, when they claimed to have breached the email accounts of several Trump allies, including Wiles.

Two rockets struck the military section of Kirkuk airport in northern Iraq late on Monday, slightly wounding two security personnel, a senior security official told AFP.

Another rocket fell on a house in the city of Kirkuk, causing material damage.

"Two Katyusha rockets fell in the military section of Kirkuk airport," slightly wounding two security personnel, the official said, requesting anonymity because he is not allowed to speak to the media.

One rocket did not explode, according to the official.

"A third rocket struck a house in the Uruba neighbourhood," causing material damage, the source added.

The military sector of Kirkuk's airport includes bases for the Iraqi Army, the federal police, and the Hashed al-Shaabi, a coalition of former pro-Iranian paramilitary forces now integrated into the regular armed forces.

A security source told the official INA news agency that two rockets struck the military airbase at Kirkuk airport, one of which fell near the runaways, and another hit a house in the city.

There has been no claim of responsibility for the attacks.

Iraq has long been a battleground of drone and rocket assaults and a fertile land for proxy wars.

But it only recently regained a semblance of stability after decades of devastating conflicts and turmoil.

Last week, hours before a ceasefire ended the 12-day Iran-Israel war, unidentified drones struck radar systems at two military bases in Baghdad and southern Iraq.

The government said it launched a probe into the drone attacks, but it has not yet identified any perpetrators.

The United States has approved a $510 million arms deal with Israel, including nearly 4,000 Joint Direct Attack Munition (JDAM) guidance kits and additional kits for MK 82 bombs, the Pentagon announced.

The US Defense Security Cooperation Agency (DSCA) stated that the sale supports Israel’s security and aligns with US national interests. Boeing, headquartered in St. Charles, Missouri, will be the main contractor.

The deal comes as US military support for Israel faces growing global criticism due to rising civilian deaths in Gaza.

Foreign ministers from the Group of Seven nations said on Monday they supported the ceasefire between Israel and Iran and urged for negotiations to resume for a deal to address Iran's nuclear program, according to a joint statement by the G7 countries.

An elderly woman who was severely injured in the firebombing attack at a protest supporting Israeli hostages held in Gaza has died, prosecutors in the US state of Colorado said Monday.

"Karen Diamond, 82 years old, died tragically as a result of the severe injuries that she suffered in the attack," the district attorney's office in Boulder, where the violent June 1 incident occurred, said in a statement.

Following Diamond's death, charges against the suspect in the attack, 45-year-old Egyptian national Mohamed Sabry Soliman, have been amended from attempted murder to first degree murder, the statement said.

It added that the district attorney's office has revised the toll from the attack, estimating that there were 29 victims in total, including 13 who were wounded. Authorities had initially reported 15 wounded.

Soliman, who authorities say was in the country illegally after overstaying a tourist visa, already faces over 100 criminal counts for allegedly throwing Molotov cocktails and spraying burning gasoline at the protesters.

Last week, the US Justice Department announced federal hate crime charges against Soliman.

U.S. President Donald Trump will host Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the White House on July 7, Axios reported on Monday, citing an Israeli official.

A ceasefire between Iran and Israel has not ended the threat of cyberattacks from hacking groups supportive of Tehran, the FBI and federal cybersecurity officials warned Monday.

In a public bulletin, the authorities warned that hacking groups affiliated with or supportive of Tehran may still seek to disrupt or disable critical infrastructure systems in the U.S. such as utilities, transportation and economic hubs.

Hackers may also target defense contractors or other American companies with ties to Israel, the agencies said.

“Despite a declared ceasefire and ongoing negotiations towards a permanent solution, Iranian-affiliated cyber actors and hacktivist groups may still conduct malicious cyber activity,” the agencies warned.

The warning of continued cyberthreats after a halt to conventional warfare reflects the often opaque nature of cyber conflict. Hacking groups may have only loose ties to a nation state, and may seek to retaliate as an alternative to traditional military action.

The bulletin outlined recommendations, including the use of regular software updates and strong password management systems to shore up digital defenses.

Hackers backing Tehran have targeted U.S. banks, defense contractors and energy companies following American strikes on Iranian nuclear facilities — but so far have not caused widespread disruptions.

While it lacks the technical abilities of China or Russia, Iran has long used its more limited capabilities to steal secrets, score political points or frighten opponents.

Analysts have tied some of these activities to groups working on behalf of Iran's military and intelligence agencies. But in other instances, the groups appear to act independently.

UK campaign group Palestine Action on Monday said it would challenge its planned proscription as a terrorist group, as the British government said it could be banned by the end of the week.

The government announced last week plans to designate the pro-Palestine group as a terrorist organisation after its activists broke into a British air force base and vandalised two planes.

The group, which has condemned the move as an attack on free speech, said an urgent hearing to challenge the proscription will be held at the High Court in London on Friday.

The challenge was backed by Amnesty International and other rights groups.

Huda Ammori, co-founder of Palestine Action, said in a statement the proposed ban would have "far-reaching implications" on "fundamental freedoms of speech, expression and assembly in Britain".

If the vote to proscribe Palestine Action goes through, we now have an opportunity to stop the ban going into effect.

On Friday from 10.30AM at the Royal Courts of Justice, we are applying for 'interim relief' to suspend the order.

Israeli forces opened fire on a group of journalists and photographers near Jenin Government Hospital, according to eyewitnesses and reports from the Wafa news agency.

The media crew was covering widespread demolitions by the Israeli army when they came under fire.

At the same time, bulldozers were actively demolishing shops, homes, and roads in the area.

Local officials say the plan includes the destruction of 95 homes in the Jenin refugee camp.

Qatar is playing a key role in mediating efforts around the Iranian nuclear issue following the recent Iran-Israel escalation, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Majed al-Ansari said on Monday.

However, he stressed that negotiations on Gaza are currently off the table, despite strong US efforts to restart talks.

The Israeli army shot and killed a Palestinian and injured eight others who were waiting for aid in eastern Khan Younis, according to Al Jazeera, citing Nasser Medical Complex.

Since assuming control of aid distribution from humanitarian groups in late May, Israeli forces have reportedly killed nearly 600 Palestinians queuing for assistance.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF)- a controversial US-Israeli aid body operating in Gaza- has faced harsh criticism for lacking transparency.

Israel's strategic affairs minister Ron Dermer will meet with officials at the White House this week, White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt told reporters at a press briefing on Monday. 

The Israeli military acknowledged on Monday that Palestinian civilians were harmed at aid distribution centres in Gaza, saying that instructions had been issued to forces following "lessons learned."

A military spokesperson claimed that incidents in which Gazans were harmed were "under review."

Since Israel lifted an 11-week aid blockade on Gaza on May 19, allowing limited UN deliveries to resume, the United Nations says more than 400 Palestinians have been killed while seeking aid.

Israeli opposition leader Yair Lapid on Monday urged an end to more than 20 months of war in Gaza, as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces mounting calls to halt the fighting.

"There is no longer any benefit for the State of Israel from continuing the war in Gaza. Only damage on the security, political and economic level," Lapid told a meeting of lawmakers from his parliamentary group. "This is also the position of the army," he added.

"Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir appeared before the cabinet yesterday and said that the political echelon needs to decide on the next objective. The meaning of this sentence is, the army has no more objectives in Gaza."

"Hamas will not be eliminated as long as an alternative government is not brought into Gaza," Lapid said, suggesting enlisting the help of Egypt and other Arab countries.

Gaza's rescue service reported that an Israeli strike killed 21 people on Monday at a seafront rest area where witnesses said people had gathered for refreshments and internet access.

Gaza civil defence agency spokesman Mahmoud Bassal told AFP the 21 were killed "as a result of the targeting of the Al-Baqa rest area on the beach of Gaza City" by Israeli aircraft.

Later reports put the death toll at more than 30.

U.S. President Donald Trump will sign an executive order on Monday related to the easing of sanctions on Syria, a CBS reporter posted on X on Monday.

In May, Trump announced he would lift sanctions on Syria as part of measures to help the country rebuild after a devastating civil war.

Pro-Palestinian campaign organisation Palestine Action said on Monday it had initiated legal proceedings to challenge the British government's intention to ban the group under anti-terrorism laws.

The group is seeking a court order to prevent the government from proscribing the group pending its case being heard, Palestine Action said.

It includes written statements from human rights experts at Amnesty International and others that have expressed concerns "about the unlawful misuse of anti-terror measures to criminalise dissent".

"The court's decision to grant an urgent hearing this week is indicative of the vital importance of what is at stake in this case, including the far-reaching implications any proscription of Palestine Action would have on fundamental freedoms of speech, expression and assembly in Britain," co-founder of Palestine Action, Huda Ammori, said.

Iran's western and central airspace is open only to international transit flights, a spokesperson for Iran's Ministry of Roads and Urban Development said on Monday, according to the semi-official Tasnim news agency.

Internal flights linking the western half of the country to Tehran's airports are not yet permitted, the official added.

Qatar Airways will resume flights to Iraq, Lebanon, Jordan and Syria this week after countries lifted restrictions on their airspaces imposed during the recent conflict between Israel and Iran, the airline said Monday.

Flights to Iraq will restart later on Monday, while routes to Lebanon and Jordan will resume from 1 July and Syria from 6 July, it said.

Qatar Airways also announced it will double its flights to Syria and from 15 July will operate two per day.

Israel's extremist finance minister Bezalel Smotrich on Monday claimed that a ceasefire in Gaza is the greatest danger facing Israel and urged Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to continue the conflict.

"I call on the prime minister: No more dialogue with murderers, no more negotiations with Nazis," The Times of Israel quotes the Religious Zionism leader telling reporters in a statement.

"It is time to continue the momentum of victory over the Iranians for a powerful, sharp and swift war that will destroy the enemy in Gaza," he continued.

There would "be no greater danger than [a ceasefire] for the future of the State of Israel," he said.

Smotrich has consistently opposed an end to the war and has made public calls for the total destruction of Gaza and the ethnic cleansing of its 2.2 million inhabitants.

"There are no ongoing talks regarding a ceasefire in the Gaza Strip, but rather contacts aimed at drafting a framework that would allow negotiations to resume," Qatari foreign ministry spokesperson Majed Al-Ansari said in a press conference in Doha on Monday.

Qatar is trying to mediate a ceasefire in Gaza alongside Egypt and the US, and recently launched a new diplomatic push following the truce between Israel and Iran.

Lebanon seeks guarantees that Israeli forces fully withdraw from Lebanese territory in response to a US demand that Beirut formally commit to disarming militant group Hezbollah, a Lebanese official said Monday.

The Lebanese government official told AFP that in a recent visit, US envoy Tom Barrack had presented the demand for Beirut to officially commit to start disarming the Iran-backed group as stipulated in the November agreement, along with a full Israeli withdrawal.

President Joseph Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salam and parliament speaker Nabih Berri - who is a key Hezbollah ally - "are preparing a response", said the official on condition of anonymity as they were not authorised to brief the media.

With Barrack, Washington's ambassador to Turkey and special envoy to Syria, expected back in Beirut by mid-July, the Lebanese leaders "will demand a halt to Israeli violations of the ceasefire, Israel's withdrawal from southern Lebanon, the release of prisoners (detained during the war) and the demarcation of the border", said the official.

According to the official, Barrack in his June 19 visit also asked that Lebanon work on securing its border with Syria and pursue economic reforms demanded by international creditors.

At least 25 Palestinians were killed and 223 wounded by Israeli forces in Gaza over the past 24 hours, according to the local health ministry.

Hospitals received 28 bodies during the period, three of which were recovered from the rubble, the ministry said in a statement.

The Israeli military has killed at least 56,531 Palestinians since it began its devastating assault on the territory almost 21 months ago. Thousands of others are thought to be buried beneath the rubble.

More than 133,640 have been injured in Israeli attacks.

Israeli forces killed at least 22 people and wounded 20 others, many while attempting to get desperately needed food aid in southern Gaza on Monday, according to witnesses, hospitals, and Gaza's Health Ministry.

Nasser Hospital in Khan Younis said it received the bodies of 11 people who were shot while returning from an aid site associated with Israeli and U.S.-backed Gaza Humanitarian Fund in southern Gaza, part of a deadly pattern that has killed more than 500 Palestinians in the chaotic and controversial aid distribution program over the past month.

Ten others were killed at a United Nations aid warehouse in northern Gaza, according to the Health Ministry.

The southern Gaza strike happened around 3 kilometers (1.8 miles) from the GHF site in the city of Khan Younis, as Palestinians returned from the site along one of the only accessible routes. Palestinians are often forced to travel long distances to access the GHF hubs in hopes of obtaining aid.

Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian told his French counterpart Emmanuel Macron that Tehran halted cooperation with the UN nuclear watchdog due to what he called the agency chief's "destructive" behaviour towards the Islamic republic, his office said Monday.

"The action taken by parliament members... is a natural response to the unjustified, unconstructive, and destructive conduct of the Director General of the International Atomic Energy Agency," Pezeshkian told Macron in a phone call late Sunday, according to a presidency statement.

Diplomatic talks between Washington and Tehran cannot resume unless the US rules out further strikes on Iran, its deputy foreign minister told the BBC late Sunday.

Majid Takht-Ravanchi told the British broadcaster that the US had signalled it wants to return to the negotiating table, a week after it struck three Iranian nuclear facilities.

"We have not agreed to any date, we have not agreed to the modality," said Takht-Ravanchi.

"Right now we are seeking an answer to this question. Are we going to see a repetition of an act of aggression while we are engaging in dialogue?"

The US needed to be "quite clear on this very important question", he said.

At least 935 people were killed in Iran during its 12-day war with Israel, Iranian state media reported Monday, nearly a week since a ceasefire took hold.

"During the 12-day war waged by the Zionist regime against our country, 935 martyrs have been identified so far," the official IRNA news agency quoted judiciary spokesman Asghar Jahangir as saying. The death toll included 132 women and 38 children.

The Gaza Humanitarian Foundation is not a reliable partner for distributing aid in Gaza, Austrian Foreign Minister Beate Meinl-Reisinger said Monday.

Since starting its operations in late May, the US and Israel-backed GHF scheme which bypasses the UN has been marred by chaos and violence, with hundreds of Palestinians shot dead by Israeli forces as they tried to collect aid.

The UN and rights and humanitarian groups have slammed it as a "death trap."

Britain, France and Germany condemned on Monday what they described as threats against the head of the International Atomic Energy Agency (IAEA) watchdog, and called on Iran to guarantee the safety of IAEA staff on its territory.

"France, Germany and the United Kingdom condemn threats against the Director General of the IAEA Rafael Grossi and reiterate our full support to the Agency and the DG in carrying out their mandate," said a joint statement issued by the foreign affairs ministries of those three countries.

"We call on Iranian authorities to refrain from any steps to cease cooperation with the IAEA. We urge Iran to immediately resume full cooperation in line with its legally binding obligations, and to take all necessary steps to ensure the safety and security of IAEA personnel," they added.

Their joint statement did not specify what threats had been made against Grossi.

On Monday, Iran said it could not be expected to guarantee the safety of IAEA inspectors, so swiftly after its nuclear sites were hit by Israeli and U.S. strikes in the 12-day war that ended with a ceasefire last week.

Israeli settlers assaulted security forces and vandalised military vehicles and a security installation outside an army base overnight in the occupied West Bank, the military said on Monday.

According to Israeli media, settlers targeted the commander of the Binyamin Regional Brigade base in the central West Bank, calling him a "traitor".

Dozens of Israeli settlers clashed with security forces outside a military base, injuring one person and vandalising vehicles, prompting police intervention, the military said in a statement.

In another statement a few hours later, the army said that "Israeli civilians set fire to and vandalised a security site containing systems that contribute to thwarting terrorist attacks" near the base.

Dozens of Israeli settlers rioted outside the Binyamin Regional Brigade military base in the West Bank last night, protesting the use of live fire against rioters who attacked an army patrol on Friday night.

Jordan refused to play Israel at the FIBA Under-19 Basketball World Cup in Switzerland on Sunday in protest at the Gaza war, Jordanian media reported, and the international basketball federation said the game would be forfeited in favour of Israel.

The official Jordan News Agency said the local basketball federation "sent an official request to the International Federation (FIBA) not to play the match in line with its principles and steadfast positions in such circumstances."

The Jordanian federation did not reveal any further details, but Jordanian newspaper Ad-Dustour said the decision was due to the war on Gaza.

Amos Frishman, president of the Israeli Basketball Federation, expressed regret at Jordan's decision.

"I strongly believe that sport is a bridge between people and cultures and not a political arena," he was quoted by local media as saying.

Iran cannot rely on the US President's statement and changing positions, Iran's foreign ministry spokesman Esmaeil Baghaei said Monday.

Israel is interested in establishing official diplomatic ties with Syria and Lebanon, but will not negotiate the fate of the Golan Heights in any peace agreement, Israeli Foreign Minister Gideon Saar said in a press conference on Monday.

Iran cannot be expected to ensure usual cooperation with the International Atomic Energy Agency when the security of agency inspectors cannot be guaranteed days after nuclear sites being hit by Israeli and U.S. strikes, Foreign Ministry spokesperson Esmaeil Baghaei said on Monday.

Norway's biggest pension fund KLP said Monday it had dropped US group Oshkosh Corporation and Germany's ThyssenKrupp from its investment portfolio for selling weapons and equipment used by Israel's military in Gaza.

KLP - which is separate from Norway's sovereign wealth fund, the world's largest - said Oshkosh Corporation was supplying trucks to the Israeli military, which adapts them into armoured troop transport vehicles.

The fund also accused ThyssenKrupp of agreeing to supply Israel's navy, before the outbreak of the war in Gaza, with corvettes and submarines.

The fund emphasised that the two companies had long-established cooperations with the Israeli army, and their deliveries continued after the start of the Gaza war on October 7, 2023.

More than 230,000 Afghans left Iran in June, most of them deported, as returns surge ahead of a deadline set by Tehran, the United Nations migration agency said on Monday.

The number of returns from Iran rose dramatically in recent weeks. Afghans have reported increased deportations ahead of the July 6 deadline announced by Iran for undocumented Afghans to leave the country.

From June 1-28, 233,941 people returned from Iran to Afghanistan, International Organization for Migration spokesman Avand Azeez Agha told AFP, with 131,912 returns recorded in the week of June 21-28 alone.

The French foreign ministry said Monday that Iran must guarantee the safety of IAEA staff in France, and added that negotiations are the best way to deal with concerns raised by Iran's nuclear programme.

The Iranian parliament last week voted to suspend cooperation with UN nuclear watchdog. The decision has yet to be ratified.

IAEA chief Rafael Grossi said Iran likely will be able to begin to produce enriched uranium "in a matter of months," despite damage to several nuclear facilities from US and Israeli attacks, CBS News reported on Saturday.

U.S. President Donald Trump said on Monday he was not speaking to Iran and was not offering the country "anything", and he reiterated his assertion that the United States had "totally OBLITERATED" Tehran's nuclear facilities.

Trump on Friday dismissed media reports that said his administration had discussed possibly helping Iran access as much as $30 billion to build a civilian-energy-producing nuclear programme.
