Drones spotted near Zelenskiy’s flight path to Dublin, triggering major security alert

Four unidentified military-style drones breached no-fly zone to target Zelenskyy's arrival in Dublin Gardaí are investigating whether the drones took off from land in Dublin or from an undetected ship.

Quite breathtaking story - military grade drones at Dublin airport which flew on the path Zelensky's plane took. The drones reached the flight path of his plane exactly the time it should have been there, but just missed it because Zelensky arrived ahead of schedule:

Asked for comment by Sky News, the IDF responded: "Earlier today, IDF troops identified two suspects who crossed the yellow line, conducted suspicious activities on the ground, and approached IDF troops operating in the southern Gaza Strip, posing an immediate threat to them.

Reem Badwan is pictured Killed at 3 years old In a video shared around the world, Khaled Nabhan held up the lifeless body of his 3-year-old granddaughter, Reem, kissed her eyes and called her the "soul of my soul." She was killed in a strike alongside her brother, Taria, 5, in November 2023.

Tala Abu Ajwa is pictured Killed at 10 years old Tala was killed while she was wearing her pink inline skates. Tala loved her friends, parties and visiting family. In her last days, "however, she had become very afraid - terrified by the war, the sounds of bombing, missiles, and the constant presence of death around her," her father said.

Hind Rajab is pictured Killed at 6 years old Hind spent her final hours trapped in a bullet-ridden car, surrounded by the bodies of six relatives, making desperate calls for help. For three hours, a Red Crescent operator stayed on the line, reciting the Quran and comforting her as an Israeli tank approached. "Come get me, quickly," she pleaded. Twelve days later, Hind was found dead.

Mohammed and Ahmed al-Harbeiti are photographed together. Killed at 13 years old Mohammed, 13, and Ahmed, 11, were crushed by a tank on June 7, 2024, according to their mother, Raja Hamed Hamdouna. Before the war, the two boys would show their love by tidying up around the house. Mohammed loved kebabs and memorized seven chapters of the Quran, Hamdouna said; Ahmed loved old black-and-white movies and was "loved by everyone - the joyful soul of our family."

These tributes are beyond heart-breaking.

Huge credit to the Washington Post for beginning this memorial to the children of the 21st century’s holocaust.

Israel will never come back from this. Nor those who sponsored their genocide.

The WaPa headline says: 60,000 Gazans were killed. 18,500 of them were children. These are some of their names. Then follows an enormous list of small print names

Thousands of small print names interspersed with some photos of some of the child victims

NEW: 18,500 children have been killed by Israeli forces in Gaza.

The Washington Post has just published every single known name.

A seminal moment.
