Escalating Violence in Gaza: A Grim Day of Tragedy and Tensions


 In a grim and tragic turn of events, violence escalated in the Gaza Strip and Israel on Saturday, leaving a devastating toll of casualties on both sides. The conflict began with a barrage of rockets fired by the Palestinian group Hamas into Israel, prompting a swift and deadly response from the Israeli military.

According to the Palestinian health ministry in Gaza, by 4:20 pm (1320 GMT), at least 198 people had been killed, and 1,610 others were wounded, suffering various injuries as a result of the escalating violence. This marked one of the deadliest days in recent memory for the Palestinian people.

Hamas sent off an unexpected assault on Israel prior to the day, which incorporated a blend of shooters penetrating Israeli towns and a steady rocket surge from the Gaza Strip. This planned attack brought about the lamentable loss of somewhere around 40 lives in Israel, with north of 770 individuals detailed injured. Sadly, these numbers are supposed to ascend as the circumstance unfurls.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu declared that his nation was at war, vowing to retaliate against those responsible for the attacks. He emphasized that the enemy would face unprecedented consequences for their actions.

The international community has been swift to react, with countries like Saudi Arabia and others urging an immediate cessation of violence in the region. The world watches with increasing concern as the situation in the Middle East continues to deteriorate.

Pakistan's Prime Minister Anwaarul Haq Kakar also expressed his deep concern over the escalating violence in the region. The growing tensions have the potential to further destabilize the already volatile Middle East, making diplomatic efforts and negotiations crucial in restoring peace and preventing further loss of innocent lives.

The misfortune unfurling in Gaza and Israel fills in as an unmistakable sign of the pressing requirement for a serene goal to the well-established struggle in the locale. The global local area should meet up to work with discourse and discussions, eventually pursuing an enduring and just arrangement that can stop the pattern of brutality that has tormented this district for a really long time.

No Ban On Airing Imran's Speeches, Pemra Tells LHC

 In a recent development, the Pakistan Electronic Media Regulatory Authority (Pemra) clarified to the Lahore High Court that there is no longer a ban on broadcasting former Prime Minister Imran Khan's speeches. This revelation came during the hearing of a petition filed by Imran, who had challenged Pemra's decision to prohibit satellite TV channels from airing his speeches and press talks. The initial ban was imposed swiftly after Imran criticized former army chief Qamar Javed Bajwa, accusing him of shielding current rulers in alleged corruption cases. Imran argued that Pemra's ban was fueled by vengeance, leading to a legal battle that spanned eight hearings. During the recent court session, Justice Shams Mehmood Mirza stressed that Pemra should refrain from pressuring TV channels on the concerns raised by the petitioner. Surprisingly, Pemra's counsel, Haroon Duggal, stated unequivocally that there is no existing ban on broadcasting Imran Khan's speeches. This reso...
