An armed American in Gaza wearing fatigues and two IDF fighters were shot and killed as they proceeded to rape three girls among 7 young Palestinian females, the youngest being twelve and the oldest fifteen. None of the girls had water or food and had been held for two days. Rescuers said they were emaciated after months of hunger. They had been removed from a refuge in Khan Yunis to a building where eight soldiers were collecting loot. Of the remaining five soldiers, only three returned, heavily loaded with stolen valuables, to an ambush by security contractors.

Injured in a fight to stop the kidnappers, the twelve-year-old girl’s mom followed the IDF kidnappers from a distance, limping as she struggled across the rubble of Gaza and its stench of death.
A mother of one of the kidnapped girls had found and grabbed nurse Ai’sha who last December delivered this woman’s baby, and frantically explained her worries. Ai’sha then contacted the nearest security contractor team on her dilapidated peer-to-peer ancient Blackberry and with the mother frantically leading the way (she apparently had on Monday, followed the kidnappers at a distance) to where she believed the girls were held.
Endemic smallpox, polio, measles, pertussis & rubella are vaccine-preventable disease only if all humans maintain the resistance. Some diseases, like polio, are spreading in Gaza because of never established or waning immunity. Also, viral hepatitis B is running wild. That’s the case for ending this genocide and keeping the human race alive by preventing these diseases from spreading across the world, says RINJ Women doctor and medical director Nassima al Amouri.

Following the 7 March murder of 5 medical workers, 12 infants and 15 parents, security contractors had been called in to find the perpetrators who set the clinic as a target, and to protect medical workers which was the single concession sought to encourage replacement workers. RINJ Women vowed to honour the lives of their murdered sisters, killed by America and Israel in Gaza, by taking care of their hundreds of patients.
The security teams had been moved into Gaza following the targeting, bombing and destruction of a RINJ women’s clinic in North Gaza, run by Dr. Buni who had been managing as a regional director the care for women communities in Palestine for 8 years.
Over 30 persons had been killed in the OBGYN clinic by an American bomb.
Allegedly the target OBGYN clinic was being ‘painted’ with a laser by IDF and U.S. soldiers on the ground in North Gaza, probably from the so-called humanitarian pier which had been used to launch attacks in Gaza according to locals who were enraged at losing the health care facility for the communities’ women and girls.
“That’s how sick these Israelis have become,” said Dr. Nassima al Amouri who set up a replacement women’s health care facility for the continuation of the vaccinations the team had been doing every Thursday.
Finally, the mom of the 12-year-old came to the area where she last saw her daughter.
“Unfortunately, the grieving mother misidentified the building that the girls were held prisoners within, and the point security person was spotted checking out the misidentified building—the Israelis and American opened fire although they were not prepared for action,” Ai’sha recalled later.
Ai’sha was grazed and taken to a safe place by one of her three security persons while the other two operators launched a quick attack on the building and overwhelmed the rapists, two of whom were undressed and had been undressing and inspecting girls at the time of the confrontation according to the child witnesses.
“That was a break, in a strange way,” said Leah, a security contractor who debriefed the rescue team. “If those idiots had not opened fire when they did, we would not have found them. The darling mom leading the party I think was completely lost. I am so sorry Ai’sha was nicked by one of the rounds fired from that building,” added Leah. “It nicked her in an area of her shoulder that the vest we gave her did not cover. We have contacted Ai’sha’s family and let them know she is doing very well. We were afraid her family might get news from the rumour mill a month later, or something like that, so we prevented further alarm for this wonderful family.”
In clearing the building, the security operators gave the children as much as they could carry of food and water supplies that had been stored in the building and cleared them from the area, explained Ai’sha a little later in the day.
“Then, our security team was joined by their team leader, who had half-carried me out of what they referred to as the ‘zone-of-fire,’ and they proceeded to demolish the building and its looted contents. Subsequently, the security operators, whose names I don’t know since they are new, requested an escort to evacuate myself, the children, and the mother of the youngest, and then they prepared an ambush for any returning looters from the IDF,” explained Ai’sha who by late afternoon was resting having been treated for a wound at the top of her shoulder.
“Ai’sha kept joking she was lucky like Donald Trump as she shepherded the kids to their families although two were orphans and they remain with the RINJ Women in a safer place,” reported Ai’sha’s medical team lead, Bahar Abbasi.
The US Central Command (CENTCOM) said on Tuesday that it destroyed a Houthi drone and some missiles launched from Yemen over the Red Sea.
“In the past 24 hours, U.S. Central Command forces successfully destroyed one Iranian-backed Houthi uncrewed aerial vehicle and two Iranian-backed Houthi anti-ship ballistic missiles launched from Houthi-controlled areas of Yemen over the Red Sea,” said a CENTCOM statement.
A rocket attack on a base in Iraq wounded seven Americans, America said on Tuesday, with Washington blaming an Iran-backed militia group. This follows the murder of other alleged Iran-backed fighters at a training facility.
Meanwhile, America has been killing more Houthis and Hezbollah officers, this time in the town of Musayib in Iraq on 30 July, reportedly killing a Yemen drone expert, Hussein Abdullah Mastoor al-Shaba, and four Hezbollah operators.
It was a random attack hence the U.S. did not know at the time who it was killing. FPM.news sources on three sides say the drone specialist Hussein al-Shaba was visiting Iraq to train Hezbollah fighters on the use of Yemen’s drones. Behar Abbasi who is a doctor in Yemen’s capitol city but here in Gaza helping out, said she knows of this man Hossein and does not like him.
“Thus far, America’s war in the Middle East has killed mostly women and children. The United States and Israel are the enemies of the world’s women,” says Dale Carter, security director of The RINJ Foundation.
“With regard to the Court’s finding that Israel’s continued presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory is illegal, the Court considers that such presence constitutes a wrongful act entailing its international responsibility. It is a wrongful act of a continuing character which has been brought about by Israel’s violations, through its policies and practices, of the prohibition on the acquisition of territory by force and the right to self-determination of the Palestinian people.
Consequently, Israel has an obligation to bring an end to its presence in the Occupied Palestinian Territory as rapidly as possible.” Citing ICJ-Israel-186-20240719-adv-01-00-en
When shared this statement from the Internatinal Court of Justice, Ai’sha replied, “It’s been over 57 years, and they will not leave until we are all dead.”
Ai’sha is a native Palestinian of The West Bank, Palestine. She has worked as a nurse across much of the Middle East with The Nurses Without Borders,
“You know what, Micheal,” added Ai’sha, “when I saw that mother reunited with her 12-year-old daughter, I thought we were in heaven. Even though my shoulder hurt, and I was a little buzzed out, it was the most beautiful moment I have ever experienced. It was so out of place, but I was thinking, we did this, and what we do is beautiful to me. We are the hope of many people. I am now happy. I wish Bonnie had seen that, experienced that, with us, but in a way, I know she did. Do you ever talk to her? I do? She is with the angels now and I miss her,”
