Today in News History
On July 13, several notable moments in the history of News stand out. In 1573, Eighty Years' War: The Siege of Haarlem ends after seven months. In 1863, American Civil War: The New York City draft riots begin three days of rioting which will later be regarded as the worst in United States history. In 1922, Helmy Afify Abd El-Bar, Egyptian military commander (died 2011) was born. In 1930, Naomi Shemer, Israeli singer-songwriter (died 2004) was born. In 1961, Tahira Asif, Pakistani politician (died 2014) was born. In 1977, Somalia declares war on Ethiopia, starting the Ogaden War. In 2008, Battle of Wanat begins when Taliban and al-Qaeda guerrillas attack US Army and Afghan National Army troops in Afghanistan. The U.S. deaths were, at that time, the most in a single battle since the beginning of operations in 2001. In 2011, United Nations Security Council Resolution 1999 is adopted, which admits South Sudan to member status of United Nations. In 2016, Prime Minister of the United Kingdom David Cameron resigns, and is succeeded by Theresa May. In 2020, Zindzi Mandela, South African politician, diplomat, and third daughter of Nelson Mandela (born 1960) passed away. Together, these milestones provide historical context for today's news news and ongoing narratives.

Student in Gaza: Ceasefire With Israel Is the 'Biggest Lie'
“The situation is getting worse day by day.” A university student in Gaza has highlighted the reality behind the so-called ceasefire agreement there. Israel has continued committing massacres on an almost daily basis since agreeing to end hostilities in October last year, while denying the entry of food, medicine and other essential supplies to the strip as part of its genocidal blockade. A UN commission found last year that Israel has used airstrikes, shelling, burning and controlled demolitions to damage and destroy more than 90% of Gaza’s school and university buildings.

Remembering Ahmed Wishah, The Latest Palestinian Journalist Killed in Israel
Israel is continuing to attack Gaza despite the so-called ceasefire. Israeli strikes killed Ahmed Wishah, a cameraman with Al Jazeera, and at least six people, including two children, on Saturday. Wishah’s brother Mohammed, who also worked for Al Jazeera, was killed in an Israeli strike this April. Israel has now killed over 260 journalists in Gaza, including at least 12 working for Al Jazeera, since October 2023. “We don’t see the type of outrage that we would see if a Western journalist was killed by a country that is not a U.S. ally,” says Sharif Abdel Kouddous, Middle East and North Africa editor at Drop Site News. “It’s really a shameful state of affairs.” Kouddous also comments on the expansion of Israel’s “genocidal tactics” in Gaza that have now been “exported outside of Palestine in places like Lebanon.”
