⚡️🚨 ALERT - DropSite: Israeli strike targeting Gaza City police kills nine, wounds 15 At least nine Palestinians were killed and 15 wounded on Wednesday in an Israeli airstrike on the Municipalities Police headquarters in Gaza City, according to Gaza’s Interior Ministry. The strike hit during a busy time in the middle of day and close to a crowded municipal park, with sources at Al-Shifa Hospital saying most of the wounded were in critical condition. Footage from Drop Site contributor Mohamed Ahmed shows ambulances arriving as people rush to carry the dead and wounded, including a woman and a child. “They killed people — elderly people, children, and women. And then they talk about a truce,” eyewitness Abu Al-Baha said. “Every day we say, ‘Tomorrow there’s hope. There is still hope,’ while the number of martyrs keeps rising. Let people feel for us. Yesterday, it was the port. Today, the municipal park, full of children. Every day, they take revenge on us.” On Tuesday, Israel bombed the port area west of Gaza City killing at least seven Palestinians. Gaza’s Interior Ministry called for urgent intervention by mediators and the international community to stop Israeli attacks on the civil police force, saying Israel was seeking to cripple the police and “spread chaos within Palestinian society.” Hamas called the attack a “new Zionist war crime,” saying most of those killed were police officers and personnel. It rejected the Israeli military’s claim that resistance leaders were targeted as “baseless.” The group said the attack, coming after recent contacts with mediators and meetings with “Board of Peace” member Jared Kushner aimed at advancing the ceasefire agreement, showed Netanyahu’s government was deliberately seeking to undermine those efforts. Hamas called on mediators, particularly the Trump administration, to take immediate action to halt the escalation and pressure Israel to abide by the agreement. 🎥 Mohamed Ahmed

⚡️🇮🇱 NEW - Former Israeli PM Naftali Bennett: We have lost the United States. We have lost the world. We are at the most terrible low point in Israel’s international standing since the establishment of the state. We have to work on this.

Just as there is Unit 8200 for intelligence, we will establish 8300 for the battle over public consciousness and influence. It will take the fight to Qatar, Iran, and the enemies of Israel. This time, I’m talking about it on steroids.

I can have dinner with anybody I want, and I'm not asking Benjamin Netanyahu's permission to do it.

⚡️🇺🇸 NEW - The FBI may have already identified the "hacker" behind the first wave of the Coldcard hack. The July 30 attack reportedly resulted in the theft of 1,082.65 BTC during the first wave by exploiting a serious vulnerability in the seed generation process of certain Coldcard devices. In total, the various waves are believed to have affected thousands of addresses. However, the hacker reportedly made a mistake: he allegedly used a paid account with a major blockchain service provider to query the addresses before transferring the BTC. The provider’s logs reportedly match the timing and sequence of the hacker’s operations with remarkable precision. This information has since been shared with the authorities. This lead could allow investigators to trace the hacker’s identity directly.

⚡️🇧🇴 ALERT - Bolivia arrests major Trump-linked right-wing operative over shooting of activist Bolivian police have arrested Fernando Cerimedo, an Argentine political operative at the center of a US-backed electoral machine, as the main suspect in the shooting of his former partner, lawyer and activist Nadia Beller. Beller, 33, was shot three times outside a hotel in Santa Cruz de la Sierra on Monday night by two attackers disguised as delivery workers, according to La Nación. She survived and is hospitalized in stable condition. Cerimedo was detained early Tuesday at Viru Viru airport trying to board a flight to Buenos Aires.

The firm worked the campaigns of Javier Milei in Argentina, Rodrigo Paz in Bolivia, and Nasry Asfura in Honduras, all right-wing victories. The Economist recently dubbed Cerimedo “MAGA’s man in LatAm.”

⚡️🇮🇷 NEW - Iranian General Mohammad Reza Naqdi: The current president of the United States is extremely short-sighted and childish. He has no long-term vision.

Don't take what he says too seriously.
