If you wish to remain men, do not be soldiers; if you cannot stand humiliations do not don the uniform. If, however, you have already committed the imprudence of clothing yourselves therewith, and some day you find yourselves in the situation of being unable to control your indignation, then neither insult nor strike your superiors; LET DAYLIGHT THROUGH THEM! You will pay no more for it.

Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 Wasn't Just An Enormous Sales Success, It Was Also The Biggest New Third-Party Launch on Xbox Game Pass in 2025, Despite Launching Two Days After The Elder Scrolls IV: Obli
The highly-acclaimed Clair Obscur: Expedition 33 just added yet another accolade to its name — as it's now the biggest new third-party game launch on Xbox Game Pass in 2025.
This evening, the Al-Qassam Brigades (Hamas) and the Al-Quds Brigades (Islamic Jihad) handed over the body of an Israeli captive to the Red Cross as part of the Gaza ceasefire deal.
Since the agreement was signed, Egyptian and international teams — along with Palestinian resistance groups — have continued searching for the remaining Israeli bodies.
Meanwhile, more than 10,000 Palestinian civilians are still trapped under the rubble, as Israeli forces have yet to allow heavy equipment into Gaza to recover them. Search efforts for the last missing Israeli body in the Strip are still ongoing.

A new report by CNN reveals how Israel buried hundreds of aid seekers alive, documenting the story of Ammar Wadi, who in June risked his life to fetch flour from an aid truck near Gaza’s Zikim crossing. He never returned. Weeks later, a stranger delivered his final phone message to his family.
Wadi is among dozens of Palestinians who disappeared near Zikim, their fates still unknown.

Thirteen-year-old Palestinian Rahaf Yousef Badr has found herself caring for her younger siblings after losing both of her parents during the Israeli genocide in Gaza.
Rahaf’s family was displaced from northern Gaza to the south, where her mother was diagnosed with breast cancer and later passed away. In the same month, her father was killed in an Israeli occupation strike on their home in the north, and his body could not be recovered due to ongoing Israeli airstrikes in the area.
Rahaf now lives in a tent in northern Gaza, taking on the responsibility of looking after her four siblings amid the ongoing humanitarian crisis.
With only one excavator available, Gaza’s Civil Defense struggles to recover over 10,000 victims trapped beneath destroyed homes.
