1/ I’m an Israeli historian recording the war crimes in Gaza since January 2024. Today I’m updating the chapter about the massacre of Palestinians in Gaza, quadrupling its size. For the full report, including evidence, testimonies and analysis:
https://witnessing-the-gaza-war.com

As of July 2, 2025, Israel has killed at least 57,012 Gazans – about 2.5 percent of the total population of Gaza. The death toll passed 50,000 in late March 2025, a year and a half after the beginning of the war. The number of dead Gazans is conservative as it will almost certainly increase (see discussion below). It does not include anyone whose death was not reported to Gaza’s overwhelmed health ministry. The death toll is accepted by Israeli officials (within a small margin) and media, despite sporadic attempts to cast doubt on them which have not been accepted (see detailed discussion in the Media section below). As of mid June 2025, 17,121 identified children have been killed. Notably, during the two months of the second ceasefire in early 2025 more than 155 Palestinians were killed.

An academic study published in the prestigious Lancet journal in February 2025 estimated that deaths were substantially undercounted. The study compared three lists of Palestinian deaths to argue that mortality as reported from October 7 to the end of June 2024 was under-reported by 41 percent, putting the estimated death toll from traumatic injury at that point at 64,260.14 The Economist extrapolated the same ratio to the known death toll in early May 2025 and suggested that the actual death toll is between 77,000 and 109,000.

At least 134,592 people (almost 6 percent of Gaza’s population) have been injured. The large number of civilian injuries often receives far less attention than civilian deaths. Nonetheless, as periodic coverage demonstrates, for many of the injured these injuries change their lives, often in debilitating ways – such as the loss of eyes, limbs and movement. At least a quarter of those injured are estimated to have life-changing injuries that require years of rehabilitation services

The official numbers of deaths and injured do not include an unknown number of missing people, many of whom were buried under the rubble of destroyed buildings. The specific number of these missing people is unclear. Before the second ceasefire estimates put it at over ten thousand.

Le jeune qui faisait une randonnée à vélo en Iran n’a plus donné de nouvelles à ses proches depuis le 16 juin.

Iran acknowledged on Saturday that a German cyclist had been detained on allegations of spying.
 
The man has been accused of recording and transmitting coordinates and locations of sensitive military and nuclear facilities, Iranian news agency Mehr reported.
 
The agency posted a video on Telegram purportedly showing the arrest of the young cyclist in the northwestern province of Markazi near the Arak nuclear facility.
 
He was reportedly arrested last year and has since been held in Tehran's notorious Evin prison, which holds foreign and political prisoners.

Ils ont appris au mois de décembre suivant que le compte bancaire du jeune homme avait été entièrement vidé le 7 août 2021. Sans autre réponse, et face au silence des autorités égyptiennes, ses proches avaient lancé un appel à témoins et ouvert une page Facebook dédiée en juillet dernier afin de médiatiser l'affaire et dans l'espoir de retrouver Yann. Ses proches avaient aussi organisé une action devant l'Elysée lors de la visite officielle du président égyptien à Paris.

On July 28, 2021, Bourdon sent the last detailed email to his family, in which he said that he was going to Suez to meet an off-duty police officer who came to talk to him, and told him that he was returning from his vacations and that he could give him a ride to Cairo. The police officer then dropped him at a subway station in Cairo. Before allowing Bourdon to leave, the police officer invited Bourdon to join him for dinner with some friends. Bourdon agreed and joined them on the night of July 28, 2021. On August 4, 2021, the same day he disappeared, Bourdon replied to his sister’s last email, confirming to her that he would write to the family soon.

CFJ stated that Bourdon’s family tried to meet with any security official in Egypt, but their request was repeatedly turned down. On May 23, 2022, the family met with the Giza Attorney General, to ask questions about the disappearance of their son. Instead, the attorney general had no information about the case or about Bourdon, and ended up questioning the mother for three hours. When the family insisted that they needed to know whether Bourdon was in custody or not, they did not find an answer from Egyptian officials. The mother was forced to sign each of the 15 pages of the transcript of the interrogation that took place with her, but the authorities did not provide a copy to the family.

Israeli Army told political leaders that achieving war goals is currently “impossible”.
 
The army believes the priority should be returning the Israeli hostages in Gaza first.

Haaretz Exposé: Malnutrition, Illness and Death – The Routine for Palestinian Prisoners at Israel's Megiddo Prison
Ibrahim, 16, was held at Megiddo for eight months until the parole board said his condition had deteriorated to 'life-threatening underweight.' He talks about recurring scabies infections, intestinal disease, beatings and neglect – and a Haaretz probe reveals that this is the experience of many others, some of whom didn't survive

 »Je vais être contraint de quitter l'Iran", prévenait-il 6 juin expliquant que son visa expirait le 25 juin. Il ajoutait avoir l'objectif de fêter son anniversaire en Afghanistan le 26 juin alors qu'il lui restait envrion 2 300 km avant la frontière entre l'Iran et l'Afghanistan.

Another day, another false headline.
 
@Reuters @aramroston @JonathanLanday referenced a so-called “GHF presentation” that we’ve never seen, never created, and had no part in. When we asked to review the document, they refused to share it. We told them clearly: GHF has no involvement in HTAs, no plans for HTAs, and this presentation is NOT ours. They ran the story anyway.
 
This isn’t journalism. It’s agenda-driven clickbait, propped up by bad-faith sources and designed to stir controversy, not uncover truth.

With a shattered, grim face,
Netanyahu received news of the Palestinian ambush that hit dozens of Israeli soldiers in Gaza — just moments before his meeting with Trump.

An elaborate, comprehensive ambush targeted Israeli soldiers.

Le premier ministre israélien Benyamin Netanyahou a annoncé lundi 7 juillet avoir présenté la nomination de Donald Trump pour le prix Nobel de la paix, en lui remettant la lettre qu'il a envoyée au comité Nobel. «À l'heure où nous parlons, il rétablit la paix dans un pays (après l'autre), dans une région après l'autre», a-t-il déclaré lors d'un dîner avec le président américain organisé à la Maison-Blanche.
