A place for Australians and friends to share news from the other countries. Like all communities here, we discuss topics from the Australian perspective.

If you're looking for a global /c/worldnews instead, search for the many options on federated instances.

Rules
  1. Follow the aussie.zone rules
  2. We are not a generic World News clone. News must be relevant to Australians and our region. Obvious disregard will earn an warning and then a ban if continued. (If an article isn't from an Oceanian news outlet, and it doesn’t mention Australia, then it’s probably off-topic)
  3. Leave seppocentrism at the door. If you don't know what that means, you're not ready to post here yet.
  4. Avoid editorialising headlines. Opinions go in the comments, not the post.

In short:

At least 30 people have been killed in Gaza as Israel carried out its heaviest air strikes in weeks, according to local authorities.

The strikes occurred one day after Israel accused Hamas of new ceasefire violations and a day before the Rafah crossing along the border with Egypt is set to open.

What's next?

Gaza's Health Ministry has recorded 509 Palestinians killed by Israeli fire since the start of the ceasefire on October 10, 2025.

What does ceasefire even mean?

It means, if you're the powerful side, that now it's OK to kill because you're not invading anymore. There's no war or genocide anymore. Any murders is just maintenance of peace (as long as it's not from the weak side, than that's terrorism and call for another justified war).
