Digital rights group SMEX published an open letter to #Samsung accusing the company of installing #AppCloud on its Galaxy A & M series devices, although stopped short of calling it #spyware, opting for the slightly more diplomatic “bloatware”.

The app, developed by Israeli company ironSource, apparently installed on phones in #WestAsia & #NorthAfrica, collected sensitive information, including biometric data & IP addresses

UG Solutions, a leading #US military subcontractor that provided security for the #GazaHumanitarianFoundation (GHF), is stepping up its recruitment efforts amid possible plans for several aid distribution sites to be set up in #Gaza by next month, Drop Site has learned.

A former army officer who applied for a position as an “International Humanitarian Security Officer” at UG Solutions told Drop Site that a company official told him in a job interview at the end of October that 12 to 15 sites were being planned to open in Gaza and that the company was “going to need a lot more guys.”

“Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk”: New Film on Gaza Photojournalist Killed in Israeli Strike

https://www.democracynow.org/2025/11/12/put_your_soul_on_your_hand

from #DemocracyNow!
November 12, 2025

Democracy Now! speaks with the renowned Iranian filmmaker Sepideh Farsi, the director of the new #documentary “Put Your Soul on Your Hand and Walk.” The #film is based on regular video calls Farsi made with the #Palestinian photojournalist Fatma Hassona in #Gaza over the course of a year from April 2024 to April 2025.

Hassona was killed with her family by an Israeli missile that targeted her apartment building in northern Gaza. The strike occurred just one day after she learned that the film centered around her life and work had been selected to premiere at the Cannes Film Festival. “It’s something that I will never get over,” says Farsi.

Israel to approve 2,000 new #WestBank settlements, Trump prepares to strike Venezuela military targets

Drop Site Daily: Oct 31, 2025
from #DropSiteNews

The Washington Post reveals a classified #US assessment identifying “many hundreds” of potential Israeli human rights violations likely to take years to assess. Washington dismisses #Israel’s plan to revive the #Gaza Humanitarian Foundation—where thousands were killed seeking aid—as “unrealistic,” while preparing its own CENTCOM-led “international stabilization force.” The #Trump administration is reportedly preparing airstrikes on military installations in #Venezuela. The Lebanese president orders the army to confront Israeli troops following deadly incursions in Blida and nearby towns. The #Netherlands’ center-left D66 narrowly edges out Geert Wilders, pledging stronger support for #Palestine.

Trump and Netanyahu threatened to launch even more violent “alternatives” to ceasefire negotiations as Hamas political leader blasts U.S.-#Israeli “blackmail."

Basem Naim, another senior #Hamas official, told Drop Site, “#Trump is playing a strategic game of deception,” adding that the #US and #Israel were seeking to increase pressure on Hamas to capitulate. He said Trump’s comments, and similar ones made by Witkoff, were intended to apply “more pressure before the next round” of negotiations and to buy time for Prime Minister Benjamin #Netanyahu “to reorganize the internal situation.”

#Israel attacked the Cairo Elementary School for Girls in central #Gaza City just as people had gathered in the school yard for Friday prayers, according to multiple eyewitnesses. Many of the displaced in the school are from areas in northern Beit Hanoun, which has been nearly completely destroyed and emptied by the #Israeli military. So far, Israel has not published even a perfunctory justification for the strike and the Israeli military did not immediately respond to questions submitted by Drop Site about the attack.
