A series of cyberattacks have targeted Israel’s critical infrastructure, including gas stations and credit card systems. The most recent attack on Sunday caused credit card readers across Israeli gas stations and retail outlets to malfunction for an hour, raising concerns about the vulnerability of Israel’s digital payment systems. The attack, suspected to be a DDoS attack, targeted communication services used by many retailers and resulted in disruptions to credit card processing. While the issue was resolved relatively quickly, it highlights the vulnerability of key infrastructure points to cyberattacks, particularly in a region where cyber warfare is increasingly common.

The Israeli military has escalated its offensive in Gaza, resulting in a significant increase in civilian casualties, including the deaths of children. The conflict has also been marked by a surge in the number of journalists killed, raising concerns about freedom of the press and the dangers faced by journalists reporting on the conflict. The international community has called for a ceasefire and a peaceful resolution to the conflict.

The BBC has been criticized for its biased coverage of the ongoing Israeli war on Palestine and Lebanon. Critics accuse the BBC of promoting Israeli propaganda and failing to provide a balanced perspective on the conflict. The outlet has been caught repeatedly showing footage and information provided by the Israeli military while failing to question their claims or provide context from the Palestinian and Lebanese perspective. This has led to accusations of complicity in Israel’s actions and a failure to hold Israel accountable for its crimes.
