🇧🇬 Bulgaria Probes Israeli Tank Killing of UN Worker in Gaza Bulgarian prosecutors have opened a murder investigation into the March 19 killing of Captain Marin Marinov, 51, a Bulgarian UN staffer, in a strike on a UN guesthouse in Deir al-Balah that also wounded five others. ➤ The case — under “murder of a person under international protection” — seeks to identify the Israeli tank commander who fired the precision-guided round. A Washington Post probe and UN forensic report both confirmed the shell was Israeli and capable of being programmed for exact range and direction, indicating deliberate targeting. ➤ Israel initially denied responsibility, then admitted in April that its tank killed Marinov — a familiar pattern of denial followed by quiet admission once evidence is overwhelming. ➤ The UN pulled roughly a third of its international staff from Gaza after the strike, citing an inability to guarantee their safety. ➤ Bulgaria’s foreign minister says compensation for the family is still being negotiated between the UN and Israel under insurance policies for “malicious acts.”

Israeli PM Benjamin Netanyahu now says the shocking images of Gaza’s completely flattened landscape aren’t the result of months of Israeli airstrikes, artillery, and systematic bulldozer operations—but because “Hamas booby traps every single building.” In his words: “The reason you see the flattened buildings is because Hamas booby traps every single building… After we move in…we put in an APC with a lot of explosives. Detonate it. It sets off all the booby traps and the buildings begin to collapse.” This is the leader of a military campaign that has systematically and deliberately razed entire cities and towns in Gaza block by block.

WATCH | As Israel arms local gangs to destabilize Gaza’s internal front, tribal elders, community leaders, and national committees in southern Gaza are calling for unity—to preserve social cohesion and protect the healthcare system.
