18,000 Israeli Women Permitted to Carry Guns

A total of 18,000 Israeli women can now carry guns as approved by the authorities and as they go about their daily business.  

The latest figure is trending on the social media. Since 7 October 2023, the number of Israeli women applying for a license to carry a gun shot up to 42,000.

And therefore the number of gun licenses carried by Israeli women is triple the pre-7 October number and is likely to go up.

More than 15,000 Israeli settler women in the West Bank now carry guns and the number being trained to carry firearms stand at 10,000.

The surge in weapons permit was allowed by National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir as he loosened Israel’s gun laws.

In Memory of Shireen Abu Akleh
In Memory of Shireen Abu Akleh

In memory of the two-year anniversary of the killing Shireen Abu Akleh, an Aljazeera television journalist and who was assassinated by an Israeli bullet. In commentary on his painting artist Said Elata said: This is my painting of Shireen Abu Akleh, who was killed by Israeli forces, and who proceeded to beat the friends and family of the people who were carrying Shireen’s coffin at her funeral. These sad and hateful actions, and attacks against journalists should not be allowed to continue, especially when innocent civilians are involved. Change is necessary, and Shireen’s passing shall not be forgotten. I honor and remember her beautiful life and what she stood for with my artwork.

Israel Tells 22 Palestinian Families to Vacate For Demolition

The Israeli authorities distributed 22 eviction and demolition orders for Palestinian homes in Kafr Aqab, north of Jerusalem, Sunday. The Jerusalem Governorate stated that Israeli forces raided the town and distributed the eviction orders. It explained the orders gave homeowners a week to vacate their homes before the demolitions would begin.

In a subsequent statement, the Governorate confirmed Israeli authorities distributed 22 eviction and demolition orders for several homes, noting that these measures were a prelude to the demolition orders. The Governorate did not specify the number of homes affected by the orders, nor whether the orders included both eviction and demolition. The Governorate added that Israeli authorities previously distributed stop-work orders for approximately 20 homes in the town, revising an earlier statement that had indicated the number was 30 according to Al Jarmaq.
