  • Israel To Directly Deliver Humanitarian Aid Via Northern Gaza, Bypassing Hamas | world news

    To bypass Hamas, Israeli humanitarian aid to Gaza will be delivered through a reopened crossing on the northeastern side of the Strip, Israel’s War Cabinet decided.

    Till now, humanitarian aid has passed through either the Kerem Shalom crossing or Egypt’s Rafah crossing. Both are on the southern end of Gaza, next to Rafah, where Hamas reportedly has four battalions. Hamas has been hijacking trucks carrying food, water, medicine, fuel and other aid.

    In the coming days, deliveries to areas of Gaza under Israeli control will be routed through the site of the old Karni crossing, near Kibbutz Nahal Oz. Karni was a cargo terminal that opened in 1994 after the signing of the Oslo Accords.

    It was closed in 2011 for security reasons as deliveries were increasingly routed through the larger and more modern Kerem Shalom crossing. Israel demolished Karni’s remaining structures in 2022.

    Humanitarian aid deliveries to Gaza are unpopular among Israelis.

    For weeks, protesters chanting “Don’t feed Hamas” have tried to disrupt the aid trucks at the Kerem Shalom crossing and other points where the deliveries are inspected.

    Netanyahu has defended the aid transfers, saying a degree of aid is necessary to continue the war to free hostages and remove Hamas from control of Gaza.

    At least 1,200 people were killed and 240 Israelis and foreigners were taken hostage in Hamas’s attacks on Israeli communities near the Gaza border on October 7. Of the remaining 134 hostages, Israel recently declared 31 of them dead.

    Who Are Jaish al-Adl?

    Jaish al-Adl is a Pakistan-based terror group formed in 2012. It has been designated as a ‘terrorist’ organization by Iran. It is a Sunni terrorist group that operates in Iran’s southeastern province of Sistan-Baluchistan. Iran shares around 900 km of border with Pakistan and is suffering from terrorism just like India due to Pakistan.

    Over time, Jaish al-Adl has carried out multiple attacks targeting Iranian security forces. In December, the group claimed responsibility for an assault on a police station in Sistan-Balochistan, resulting in the tragic loss of at least 11 police personnel.

    January 16 Missile Attack

    Tensions between Iran and Pakistan escalated following mutual missile strikes targeting alleged “terror units.” Iran conducted missile and drone strikes in Pakistan on the night of January 16, targeting two significant headquarters of Jaish al-Adl. Pakistan claimed that the strikes led to the unfortunate death of two children and the injury of three girls. In response, Pakistan withdrew its ambassador from Iran on January 17 and declared that the Iranian envoy, who was visiting Pakistan at the time, would not be allowed to return as a protest against what Islamabad deemed a ‘blatant breach’ of its sovereignty.

    The situation further intensified on January 18, when Pakistan launched retaliatory strikes inside Iran. Islamabad stated that the strikes targeted hideouts used by “terrorist militant organizations,” specifically mentioning the Balochistan Liberation Army (BLA) and the Balochistan Liberation Front (BLF).

    Failed Peace Attempt

    After both the countries hit each other, they mutually agreed to expand security cooperation. They agreed on the return of ambassadors of both countries to their respective posts and also decided to mutually work for the ‘de-escalation’ of tensions. Both Iran and Pakistan stated that they can resolve ‘misunderstandings’ fairly quickly. The two countries also agreed to fight terrorism in their respective areas and allay each other’s concerns, he added. However, yesterday’s surgical strike again shows that those were mere rhetoric and Iran doesn’t trust Pakistan on terrorism.

  • Indian Origin Student Who Died Last Month In US Froze To Death After Club Denied Him Entry: Report | world news

    New Delhi: Akul Dhawan, a student of Indian origin at Illinois University, passed away last month after he was left out in the cold near a club that denied him entry during a night out with friends, news agency ANI quoted police officials as saying. The 18-year-old Indian-American student’s parents have lodged a complaint with the University of Illinois Police and asked them about their search and the protocol they followed during the search.

    Akul Dhawan’s parents suspect that the police did not conduct a search near the Busey-Evans Residence Hall and did not follow their missing search protocols. They blamed the University of Illinois Police for being careless.

    In an open letter published in The News Gazette, Akul Dhawan’s parents said, “As parents, we need answers. We have filed an official complaint with the UI police. We have the following questions for the university officials and police: The police say that they searched around the Busey-Evans Residence Hall at 2:09 am”

    On January 31, the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign said in a press release that the University of Illinois Police are still investigating the circumstances surrounding the January 20 death of Akul Dhawan, a student at the University of Illinois Urbana-Champaign. It said that the information gathered so far supports the initial belief that the death was accidental, and no foul play occurred.

    It said that Dhawan was found dead at about 11:08 am (local time) on January 20 in the 1200 block of West Nevada Street, Urbana. According to the press release, a friend who lost contact with Dhawan called the police at 1:23 am (local time).

    According to the statement, investigators have shared a timeline of the police response to that call. In 2024, seven young men of Indian and Indian American descent died under various circumstances, ranging from suspected suicides and overdoses to violent acts. Last week White House official John Kirby condemned attacks on Indian students and asserted there is “no excuse for violence based on race, gender, or any other factor”.

    The president and this administration have been working very, very hard to make sure we’re doing everything we can to work with state and local authorities to try to thwart and disrupt those kinds of attacks and make it clear to anyone who might consider them that they’ll be held properly accountable,” Kirby said amid a slew of attacks on Indian and Indian American students in various parts of the United States.

    Also, Eric Garcetti, the US Ambassador to India, said that the Biden-led administration is “very committed” to assuring Indians that the US is a “wonderful and safe” place to pursue higher studies. The Indian government and the mission in the US offered support and counseling to the distressed students and their relatives.
