Introduction

In a recent article, we discussed how Israeli forces bombed a tent housing journalists, killing six, under the claim that one had “reportedly” collaborated with Hamas. Since then, the situation in Gaza has not improved: children, the elderly, women, and journalists continue to die.

On the morning of August 25, 2025, an Israeli strike on Nasser Hospital killed approximately 20 people, including five journalists, in what again was allegedly “entirely accidental.” This hospital, one of the largest and last partially functioning medical facilities in southern Gaza (Khan Younis / Deir al-Balah area), has been pushed to the brink. Reuters

Prime Minister Netanyahu, as expected, issued an apology citing a “mistake” to rationalize this horrific act.

It is staggering that more journalists have been killed in this conflict than in all other wars combined since World War II. According to the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate, over 240 Palestinian journalists have been killed in Gaza since the offensive began on October 7, 2023.

Who were the journalists killed in the Israeli attack on Nasser Hospital

After freelance journalist Ahmed Abu Aziz (Middle East Eye) succumbed to his injuries from the strike, he became the fifth journalist killed. Earlier victims included:

  • Mariam Dagga, AP freelancer
  • Mohammed Salama, Al Jazeera camera operator
  • Hussam al-Masri, Reuters collaborator
  • Moaz Abu Taha, a freelance photographer who worked with Reuters

Reuters also reported that their collaborator, photographer Hatem Khaled, was wounded. In addition to the journalists, health workers, patients, civil defense personnel, and even a firefighter died, including a civil defense member killed while attempting to assist. Reuters

How the attack unfolded

Witnesses described a second attack occurring just as rescuers, journalists, and others rushed to the initial strike site. This appears to have been a two-phase “double-tap” attack, first luring responders in and then striking again to kill survivors, medics, and journalists. TheGuardian.com

The first missile struck the fourth floor, where the operating theater, emergency department, and staff quarters were located, followed minutes later by a second strike on the external stairway where rescuers and journalists had gathered.

This tactic constitutes a violation of the Geneva Conventions and is considered a war crime.

Why is a “double-tap” strike a war crime

  • It deliberately targets medics, rescuers, and journalists, protected under international humanitarian law.
  • The Geneva Conventions and Additional Protocols specifically protect both medical personnel and civilians not participating in hostilities.
  • Such tactics aim not only to inflict damage but to maximize civilian casualties and hinder rescue operations.

In short, a “double-tap” is not standard military action; it intentionally targets vulnerable groups who ought to be protected.

Israeli reaction

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called it a “tragic mishap” and expressed “deep regret.” The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) announced an investigation led by the chief of staff, insisting they do not target journalists and lamenting collateral damage.

They claimed the strike was prompted by surveillance camera footage allegedly installed by Hamas within the hospital. NewYorkPost

Military expansion: Offensive on Gaza City

  • On August 20, 2025, Israel launched an expanded military offensive, Operation “Gideon’s Chariots B”, aimed at fully capturing Gaza City, a Hamas stronghold.
  • The IDF confirmed that preliminary operations had begun, with forces now active on the city’s outskirts.
  • Netanyahu approved the offensive; Defense Minister Israel Katz warned Gaza City could be entirely destroyed if Hamas refuses to surrender.
  • Tens of thousands of reservists were mobilized — some estimates suggest up to 130,000 soldiers.

Humanitarian crisis in Gaza

This tragedy occurred amid a protracted conflict that began in October 2023, which has claimed more than 240 journalists and tens of thousands of civilian lives. Gaza’s healthcare infrastructure is collapsing, and attacks on hospitals have become alarmingly frequent. Wikipedia

For the first time in modern Middle East history, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC) declared famine in Gaza City and surrounding areas, IPC Phase 5: catastrophic food crisis.

Currently, approximately 514,000 people are experiencing famine, around a quarter of Gaza’s population, with projections rising to 641,000 by the end of September. Reuters

International condemnation and calls for investigation

  • UN Secretary-General António Guterres demanded a “prompt and impartial investigation,” emphasizing that medical personnel and journalists must be protected.
  • Advocacy groups like CPJ, Reporters Without Borders, and the Palestinian Journalists Syndicate condemned the attack as a “war crime,” a “blatant assault on press freedom,” and targeted violence against protected groups.
  • Several nations, including France, the UK, Germany, Spain, and Canada, strongly denounced the attack and called for accountability.
  • Even former President Trump expressed shock: “I’m not happy about it. I don’t want to see it. At the same time, we have to end that… nightmare.” abc.net

The footage of the first hospital strike, broadcast live by Reuters via Hussam al-Masri and abruptly cut off at the moment of impact, is devastating. The video, captured during the attack, shows the grenade explosion striking people standing on the hospital balcony.

Warning: extremely violent and disturbing content!!!

Conclusion

The attack has elicited unified global condemnation and demands for an investigation. Israel responded with expressions of regret and plans for inquiry, citing legitimate military targets.

Yet, international experts warn that such attacks likely violate humanitarian law, particularly in targeting protected groups like medics and journalists. Netanyahu’s words of sorrow and apologies sound hollow when witness accounts and footage strongly indicate a deliberate double-tap strike, excluding any claim of mistake.

Alaska 2025: Trump–Putin Meeting in Anchorage Yields PR, Not Peace

Why the much-anticipated Trump-Putin meeting in Alaska failed to resolve the Ukraine conflict, and what’s next

President Trump as a little mouse and Putin as a big cat are in the picture

This picture is the property of the author, and it was made with an AI program

This post can be read in Tocsin Magazine, and all Medium members can read the full article here.

Introduction

The long-awaited Trump–Putin meeting in Alaska, which many hoped would end the war in Ukraine, unfortunately delivered no definitive answers. Held at the Joint Base Elmendorf-Richardson near Anchorage, Alaska, it was chosen for its symbolic weight and strategic infrastructure. axios.com

Although the world’s attention was fixed on President Trump to finally bring peace, next to nothing was accomplished in that regard. The war in Ukraine continues unabated; bombs still fall, even during the Trump–Putin talks, people die daily on both sides, and Russia continues advancing. As we said, nothing has changed so far.

Announcement of a New White House Meeting

At least there were hints toward ending the war, at least, from President Trump’s perspective, and new meetings were announced to include Ukraine and European representatives, scheduled to take place at the White House. CNBC.com

These upcoming talks at least involve Ukraine and Europe, unlike the current one-sided discussions between the U.S. and Russia — Trump versus Putin.

Arrival and Ceremony

The summit, titled “Alaska 2025,” featured a red-carpet arrival marked by a flyover of four F-22 fighter jets.

Trump landed in the morning; Putin arrived later, and both were filmed greeting each other warmly on a platform labeled “ALASKA 2025.” They were then driven in the same limousine, without interpreters, a gesture observers interpreted as a symbol of trust.

Attendees of the Trump-Putin Summit

Instead of the planned one-on-one meeting, the conversation became trilateral: on Trump’s side were Secretary of State Marco Rubio and envoy Steve Witkoff; on Putin’s side were Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov and aide Yuri Ushakov. foreignpolicy.com

The meeting lasted from approximately 11:32 to 14:18, followed by a joint press conference.

Press Conference

Putin spoke about the need to “remove the root causes” of conflict, emphasizing a foundational solution.

Trump praised his relationship with Putin as “fantastic,” also noting that the “Russia hoax” had made the meeting more difficult, yet he offered no concrete outcomes. Neither leader took questions from the media.

Meeting Content & Trump’s Shifting Position

Known for his shifting positions, Trump once again changed tack: though he had previously pushed for a ceasefire, he now advocated a full peace deal, not just a ceasefire. According to some sources, Putin offered to freeze the front lines if Ukraine surrendered Donetsk, a proposal President Zelensky swiftly rejected. BBC.com

For the first time, it appears Putin agreed that the U.S. and Europe could offer NATO-style security guarantees to Ukraine, akin to Article 5, without NATO membership.

Article 5 states that an attack on one NATO member is considered an attack on all, requiring collective defense. NATO.int

Details of this proposed arrangement remain unclear. After telling Zelensky about Putin’s proposal, Trump passed the responsibility to him, prompting critics to accuse Trump of shirking responsibility.

Who Won? Russia, and Putin, Again

It seems the biggest winner of the summit was Russia. Even though sanctions remain in place, Putin once again managed to avoid making real concessions. He regained international attention and legitimacy, while his critics argue that Trump undermined Ukraine’s position and granted Russia a diplomatic gift. APNews

The war continues to escalate, and both the EU and Ukraine have expressed concern that talks have sidelined ceasefire demands. Experts noted that Putin emerged from Alaska without facing any penalty and reclaimed his status as a global actor.

Curiosities from the Summit

Journalists revealed that internal documents, such as scheduling details and plans for a ceremonial gift, the “American Bald Eagle Desk Statue”, were left in a printer at the hotel, raising additional controversy and security concerns.

Additionally, due to sanctions, Russia had to pay in cash to refuel its plane in Alaska, an unusual sight. npr.org

Conclusion

On the Eastern Front, nothing new. The war rages on, and now we must wait to see what unfolds in the meetings scheduled between the U.S., Ukraine, and EU representatives. If the Alaska summit is any indication, however, expectations for the upcoming White House talks should remain modest.

Alligator Alcatraz Exposed: Inside Florida’s Controversial Migrant Camp

Alligator Alcatraz, Migrant Center, or Concentration Camp? Everglades detention center under fire for inhumane conditions, deportation flights & legal backlash

There is an alligator dressed like a prison guard in the picture

This post can be read in Tocsin Magazine, and all Medium members can read the full article here.

Introduction

“Alligator Alcatraz” is actually the nickname for a migrant processing and deportation facility that quickly became the official name. This center was born as a response to President Trump’s deportation policies under his administration.

It is located at the abandoned Dade‑Collier Training and Transition Airport within Big Cypress National Preserve, southwest of Miami, at the heart of Florida’s Everglades. It is naturally barricaded by swamps teeming with alligators and pythons, in an isolated and ecologically sensitive area.

The idea to establish this immigrant center was launched in June 2025 by Florida Attorney General James Uthmeier, under the direction of Governor Ron DeSantis. Wikipedia

How the Name “Alligator Alcatraz” Came About

The facility’s name was coined in June 2025 during a promotional video by James Uthmeier, who officially dubbed the new detention site “Alligator Alcatraz”. Wikipedia

The name combines the local Everglades environment, infested with alligators and pythons, with the infamous Alcatraz prison in San Francisco Bay, symbolizing isolation and inescapability.

Governor DeSantis quickly embraced the name, and during a visit on July 1, 2025, President Donald Trump called it “Alligator Alcatraz,” joking that alligators act as natural guards whom you don’t need to pay. He added, “It might be as good as the real Alcatraz.” This publicity helped cement the name’s acceptance and eventual official adoption. Wikipedia

Construction, Capacity, and Funding of Alligator Alcatraz

DeSantis invoked 2023 immigration state of emergency powers to seize the county-owned airfield and circumvent normal permitting and environmental review.

He mobilized private contractors and deployed the National Guard to build and secure the site, completing initial tents, trailers, sanitation facilities, processing areas, and a runway capable of deportation flights in just over eight days.

Initial capacity was set at 1,000 detainees, with a projected expansion to up to 5,000 beds by early July 2025. Wikipedia

Annual operating costs are estimated at $450 million, funded by the state of Florida with anticipated reimbursement requests to FEMA and the U.S. Department of Homeland Security. cbsnews.com

Detainees and Conditions at Alligator Alcatraz

The first group of detainees arrived on July 3, 2025, marking the operational start of the facility. Wikipedia

Journalists and detainees have reported serious delays in transport — groups waiting hours in buses without food or water before being moved into fenced tent units. Inside, they face overcrowding, lack of religious or legal support, limited or no recreation space, and no access to a canteen or vending machines. The Guardian

Health and hygiene services have been described as minimal. Requests for masks, showers, or legal assistance are reportedly often denied or delayed. Detainees report overflowing sewage, insect infestations, and insufficient medical care. Some people reportedly held have no criminal history or pending deportation orders. cbsnews.com

Italian detainees, such as Gaetano Costa and Fernando Artese, described the camp as “a cage” with no legal process and minimal basic rights, calling it a “concentration camp.” The Times

Reported examples:

  • Rick Herrera (55, Argentina): Held overnight on a bus tied up without food or water; marked with a red wristband due to a criminal record; denied religious materials, recreation, contact with counselors or inspectors.
  • Alexander Boni (32, Cuba): Requested a mask after his group became ill and was denied one.
  • Italian detainees Gaetano Costa and Fernando Artese: reported overcrowding, lack of climate control, and missing information about their legal cases, calling the center a “concentration camp”. The Washington Post

Reactions to Alligator Alcatraz

Mass protests began in June 2025, including Indigenous-led prayer walks organized by Betty Osceola of the Miccosukee Tribe. Participants — around 700 to 1,000 — blocked access roads carrying signs like “Hands off our Everglades,” demanding a halt to construction. The Seminole Tribe also opposed the site, citing the sacred nature of the land. Wikipedia

On June 27, environmental groups (Friends of the Everglades and Center for Biological Diversity) filed a federal lawsuit, alleging violations of the National Environmental Policy Act and the Endangered Species Act, demanding an environmental review and public comment, claims state and federal officials dismissed as “politicized” efforts to delay the project. Wikipedia

Critics have compared the facility to Nazi concentration camps; some coined the term “Alligator Auschwitz”. Historians warn that such analogies may exaggerate, noting that while conditions are harsh, they do not resemble the genocide camps where millions were killed. Wikipedia

Conclusion

Alligator Alcatraz is not merely a detention center; it is a symbol of the 2025 Trump-linked immigration strategy. With Trump’s public involvement and the symbolic naming, “Aligator Alcatraz,” surrounded by dangerous Everglades wildlife, the site projects a narrative of isolation and deterrence.

Yet, the reported treatment of detainees, restricted movement, minimal rights, unsanitary conditions, and lack of legal recourse echo the characteristics of concentration camps in World War II, reinforcing human rights abuse accusations. Such treatment is unjustifiable for any person, especially for our neighbours who, until recently, enjoyed the status of U.S.-based residents.
