Multiple sources within and around Al-Shifa Hospital have reported ongoing bombardment, shelling, and ground clashes for almost an entire day. Journalist Wadea Abu Alsaoud documented shelling and gunfire around the hospital earlier this afternoon.
Two hospital staff (Fahmy Ahed Almedana and Mohammed Saeed) reported on their Instagram Stories that the situation in and around the hospital is very scary. About a two hours ago, Mohammed reported that tanks were very near the hospital, and the IOF was detonating flare bombs very close by. An hour ago, he said the bombing is very, very close to the hospital.

I love how they always use the duduk in "Egyptian" music.
Here is 5 hours of someone taking advantage of that:

The name of the instrument is Armenian. The instrument itself is Armenian / Turkish / Iranian.
Sure, the history of the Muslim world means I'm sure someone in Egypt at some point played a duduk. But that has nothing to do with pyramids.
Contemporary Egyptian music also uses the guitar and concertina a lot. Might as well use those too for "Pharaoh Music," for all it's worth.
Why are we so specific and weird in our culture insensitivity? Like we have to use "Muslim music" for ancient people who have nothing to do with that, because the people who live now where they used to live are the same religion generally as a guy who plays an instrument we've heard of...?
I get that ancient music was all tepid hymns set to lyres and shofars and rattles. You need to punch it up a bit. But being so specific about how you do that is problematic and kind of boring, for seemingly zero good reason.
Like imagine 1000 years from now someone makes a movie about America landing on the moon, and the soundtrack is all bagpipe and slide-whistle music.
...I mean that would be great. But their reasons for doing it would be pretty ignorant.
Edit: This is what contemporary Egyptian pop music sounds like, BTW.

I can see King Tut doing incest to this.
Plus it's in Arabic, which might as well be Ancient Egyptian as far as most white people care.

“Unfortunately, they have sent a warning notice to the Hiji building just now that it will be bombed,” al-Taweel said in his last words, shortly before being killed, according to a recording obtained by Al Jazeera. “The area has been evacuated entirely. Women, men, the elderly, kids have all completely fled the area.”
Al-Taweel, Mohammed Subh and Hisham Alnwajha had been standing at a safe distance, hundreds of metres from the stated target. But the air attack instead hit a different building, much closer to them.
Alnwajha suffered serious injuries and was admitted to the intensive care room at Al-Shifa Medical Complex, the Palestinian news agency WAFA reported.
The crew was wearing flak jackets and helmets clearly identifying themselves as members of the press.
Funerals for Subh and al-Taweel were held hours later at a hospital in Gaza City.
As a tribute to their work, the iconic helmets worn by media workers were placed on their bodies, which were covered in white sheets.
An exceptionally tender, nuanced and raw depiction of the idiosyncratic dynamics of a dysfunctional Pakistani family and its rich, complex emotionally detached female characters with the wounds of the past gnawing at them, Cake (2018) by Asim Abbasi manages to elevate a simple, granular family drama into a buried hatchet of secrets with layered social commentary hidden beneath it.

Iran leadership open for compromise on nuclear deal

Iran leadership open for compromise on nuclear deal
Doha (The Times Groupe)- Qatari foreign minister told al Jazeera TV yesterday that the Iranian leadership expressed readiness to compromise regarding reviving a nuclear deal between Iran and world powers.
According to the semi-official news agency Tasnim, the Foreign Ministry said that remarks by Iran’s Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei had been mistranslated either by mistake or by design.
The Qatari TV station quoted Foreign Minister Sheikh Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al-Thani as saying that finding common ground would boost stability in the Persian Gulf region and help oil markets.
“Pumping additional quantities of Iranian oil to the market will help stabilize crude prices and reduce inflation,” the minister said.
Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson Saeed Khatibzadeh told Tasnim: “The Supreme Leader did not make any remarks about a compromise, but told the Emir of Qatar: ‘We have always said that negotiations should be productive and not a waste of time. The Americans know what to do regarding this.”
“It is clear from the context of the Leader’s remarks that (he meant) that the ball is in the court of the United States, which must make a wise political decision to fulfill its obligations,” Khatibzadeh said.
On Friday, Qatar’s Emir Tamim bin Hamad al-Thani, who had met Khamenei during a May visit to Iran, said he is confident that an agreement between the United States and Iran can be reached and offered his assistance.
The United States and Iran have held indirect talks over the past year to revive Tehran’s nuclear deal with world powers.
Iranian officials have repeatedly called on Washington to respect Iran’s “red lines”, which include removing the Revolutionary Guards from the U.S. terrorism blacklist.
Staff working inside Al-Shifa Hospital say the hospital has been under renewed siege by the IOF for 6 days. This is stated by journalists working in the area and people who live nearby as well.
Most doctors and surgical teams have evacuated, meaning that administering anything more than first aid is practically impossible. Most of the journalists have evacuated as well, meaning the media coverage is limited in Arabic-language sources and nonexistent in English-language sources.
The IOF are sniping displaced people inside the hospital, or shooting them from quadcopters. The dead and dying are scattered around the hospital, and staff cannot move or help them or they will be shot too. IOF bombing continues around the vicinity of the hospital as well, no one is able to enter or leave. Footage from the scene records that the shelling is constant.
The remaining staff continue working despite the danger, treating who they can despite having little electricity and being unable to move within range of windows. Patients are dying from treatable injuries because the hospital no longer has the capacity to help everyone.

[ID: A newspaper article from "The New York Crimes: Special Palestinian Liberation Edition" from Thursday, November 5, titled "We Killed Our Colleagues" and subtitled "By inciting enthusiasm for war, the New York Times has the blood of over 30 journalists killed by the Israeli army on its hands. These are their names:" A list follows:
Ibrahim Mohammad Lafi, killed in Gaza on October 7, 2023 Mohammad Jarghoun, killed in Gaza on October 7, 2023 Mohammad Al-Salhi, killed in Gaza on October 7, 2023 Assaad Shamlakh, killed along with 9 members of his family in Gaza on October 8n 2023 Hisham Alnwajha, killed in Gaza on October 10, 2023 Mohammad Sobh, killed in Gaza on October 10, 2023 Saeed Al-Taweel, killed in Gaza on October 10, 2023 Mohamad Fayez Abu Mater, killed in Gaza on October 11, 2023 Ahed Shehab, killed along with his wife and three children in Gaza on October 12, 2023 Issam Abdallah, killed in Southern Lebanon on October 13, 2023 Husam Mubarak, killed in Gaza on October 13, 2023 Salam Mema, body recovered from the rubble of her home on in Gaza on October 13, 2023 Yousef Maher Dawas, killed in Gaza on October 14, 2023 Abdulhadi Habib, killed along with family members in Gaza on October 16, 2023 Issam Bhar, killed in Gaza on October 17, 2023 Mohammad Balousha, killed in Gaza on October 17, 2023 Sameeh Al-Nady, killed in Gaza on October 18, 2023 Khalil Abu Aathra, killed with his brother in Gaza on October 19, 2023 Mohammad All, killed in Gaza on October 20, 2023 Roshdl Sarraj, killed in Gaza on October 22, 2023 Mohammad Imad Labad, killed in Gaza on October 23, 2023 Salma Mkhalmer, killed with her child in Gaza on October 25, 2023 Ahmed Abu Mahdi, killed in Gaza on October 25, 2023 Saed Al-Halabi, killed in Gaza on October 25, 2023 Duaa Sharaf, killed with her child in Gaza on October 26, 2023 Yasser Abu Namous, killed at home in Gaza on October 27, 2023 Nazmi Al-Nadim, killed along with family members in Gaza on October 30, 2023 Majed Kashko, killed along with family members in Gaza on October 31, 2023 Imad Al-Wahidi, killed along with family members in Gaza on October 31, 2023 Iyad Mater, killed in Gaza with his mother on November 1, 2023 Mohammed Abu Hatab, killed with 11 members of his family in Gaza on November 2, 2023."
A paragraph after the list reads: According to the Committee to Protect Journalists, over half the journalists reporting from Gaza have been killed. In order to control the news coming out of the besieged territory, Israel has also deployed tactics including barring the entry of foreign correspondents and targeting journalists' families. On October 25, Al Jazeera's Gaza bureau chief Wael Dahdouh learned live on-air that an airstrike had killed his wife and two of his children." Surrounding this article seems to be a list of other people killed in the assault on Gaza along with their ages. End ID]
We documented testimonies of the occupation army executing 13 Palestinian children in and around Al-Shifa Hospital in Gaza City within a week.
We received consistent testimonies and statements regarding the execution and killing crimes against Palestinian children aged between 4 and 16 years.
We documented the cold-blooded execution by the occupation forces of the children Ali Islam Salouha (9 years old) and Saeed Mohammed Sheikha (6 years old) in front of their families and the local residents, after deliberately targeting them with live fire.
Some children were killed while being besieged by the occupation army with their families inside their homes, and others while attempting to flee along routes predetermined by the army, after they were forced to evacuate from their homes and places of residence.
The documented execution cases represent a blatant violation of the rules of international law, including international humanitarian law, constituting war crimes and crimes against humanity in their own right, and come within the context of the genocide crime that the Palestinian people in the Gaza Strip have been subjected to for six months.
The occupation army has committed and continues to commit systematic horrific crimes during its military operations for more than a week inside and around Al-Shifa Hospital, including deliberate killings and extrajudicial executions against Palestinian civilians.
