More than 100 signatures were included in an open letter sent to Thunberg, and several activists also responded to her directly on X.​



The environmental leaders wrote in the letter that they were "deeply hurt, shocked and disappointed with your tweets and posts regarding Gaza" and that Thunberg should "look again at the atrocities conducted by Hamas."

"Greta Thunberg is the most well-known climate activist in the world today," responded Adam Teva V'Din. "In her influential position, Greta has expressed a one-sided and inconsistent stance, completely ignoring the cruel acts endured by Israeli citizens and the abduction of hundreds of people.



 
The precision "Iron Sting" mortar entered operational use for the first time as the IDF's Maglan unit used the innovative weapon to target Hamas's rocket launchers in the Gaza Strip, the IDF Spokesperson's Unit revealed Sunday.

The Iron Sting was developed by Elbit Systems and first revealed by the Defense Ministry, IDF Ground Forces, and Elbit in 2021. The mortar is designed for use in both open terrain and urban environments, while using its precise targeting to reduce the possibility of non-combatants being injured.

Since the brutal terrorist massacre that triggered the Israel-Hamas war on October 7, the Committee to Protect Journalists (CPJ), an American non-profit organization dedicated to press freedom, has been compiling a running tally of journalists killed, injured, or detained/missing during the conflict.

As of October 21, the CPJ has recorded the deaths of 22 journalists: 18 Palestinians, 3 Israelis, and one Lebanese.

CPJ notes that four of the killed Palestinian journalists worked for Hamas-affiliated media organizations: three for Al-Aqsa TV and one for Al-Aqsa Radio.

This means that almost a quarter of the Palestinian journalists reported as killed in the war were affiliated with the Hamas terror organization.
