*At least 24 Palestinians have been killed since dawn, while over the past 24 hours, at least 71 #Palestinians have been killed and 339 injured. Four more died of famine and malnutrition... Every member of the #UN’s Security Council agreed the famine in #Gaza is a “man-made crisis”—except the #US. #Israel’s military spokesperson says the evacuation of Gaza City is “inevitable.” Two additional Gaza Humanitarian Foundation “aid” sites are slated to open in southern Gaza as Israel closes one GHF site... Steve Witkoff is reportedly consulting with Jared Kushner on the Gaza “day-after” plan. In SF, 138 arrested after protesters occupied the lobby of Sen. Alex Padilla’s office to demand action against the Gaza genocide.*

**Trump signs order to prosecute those who burn U.S. flag (while inciting violence), Netanyahu "regrets" killing journalists, and Ritchie Torres's secret stocks in U.S. weaponry**
Drop Site Daily: August 26, 2025
from #DropSiteNews
75 #Palestinians have been killed, 370 injured, and three have died due to famine over the past 24 hours. The international community reels in the wake of the “double-tap” strike on Nasser Hospital. #Israeli PM Benjamin #Netanyahu calls the targeting of five more journalists a “tragic mishap.” Reuters and the Associated Press formally write to Israeli officials demanding answers. A sixth journalist, veteran investigative reporter Hassan Douhan, was killed yesterday in a separate incident in his tent in Khan Younis. Palestinian prisoners recently released from the Sde Teiman torture camp bear witness to the horrors within its walls.

**Israel Bombs Gaza Hospital, Kills 5 Journalists from AP, Al Jazeera, Reuters, NBC**
from #DemocracyNow!
Interview with Muhammad Shehada
Palestinian writer and analyst
August 25, 2025
[contains chilling details of the methodical Israeli attack]
*#Israeli airstrikes on Nasser Hospital in southern #Gaza killed at least 20 people Monday, including five #Palestinian journalists. Eyewitnesses say Israel carried out a “double-tap” strike on the hospital. A drone initially hit the hospital’s roof, killing one journalist setting up a live stream, and then another strike hit journalists and rescue workers who were responding to the initial strike. “#Israel knew exactly who was there,” says Palestinian writer and analyst #MuhammadShehada. “Israel has killed 244 journalists, by far surpassing all 20 years of the war in Vietnam or all six years of the Second World War.”*
