An Israeli air strike on a prison in the Iranian capital Tehran last week killed 71 people and injured many others, Iran said on Sunday. Asghar Jahangir, a spokesman for Iran’s judiciary, condemned the attack on Evin Prison as a “full-fledged crime by Zionist forces,” stressing that the strike also impacted civilians living near the prison’s visitation and judicial buildings, according to Iran’s Mehr news agency. The casualties include prison administrative staff, conscripted soldiers, inmates, relatives of prisoners, as well as civilians living near the prison, some of whom lost their lives in the air strike, the spokesman added.

The inter-militia violence that erupted in Tripoli last month, following the killing of the feared, now former head of the Support and Stability Apparatus, Abdel Ghani Al-Kikli, was the worst clash to rock the capital in years. Heavy machine gun fire and militia battles filled the streets and neighbourhoods of Tripoli, sending shockwaves and errant bullets into the homes of ordinary Libyan citizens. The clashes forced the populace to question the legitimacy of Prime Minister Abdul Hamid Dbeibeh’s Government of National Unity (GNU). A shaky ceasefire is holding, yet there is no doubt that citizens under its control are glancing eastward—towards the seemingly calmer and more stable region—asking the question: how can the largely Western-backed GNU, rife with corruption and […]

Members of Israel’s Knesset (parliament) have accused Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of using the ongoing Gaza war to secure an end to his corruption trial, Anadolu reports. “(Netanyahu) is conditioning the future of Israel and our children on his trial,” Knesset member for the Democrats Party, Naama Lazimi, said in statements cited by The Times of Israel news outlet on Sunday. She said that the Israeli premier showed that he is unfit for the office by “trading his indictment in exchange for a political settlement and an end to the war.” US President Donald Trump called again on Saturday for Netanyahu’s corruption trial to be cancelled. Highlighting the billions of dollars the US spends annually to support Israel, Trump declared, […]

Iran cast serious doubts on Sunday that a US-sponsored ceasefire with Israel will hold, saying it is fully ready to respond to any new attacks, Anadolu reports. “Since we are completely doubtful about the enemy honoring its commitments, including the ceasefire, we are prepared to give it a tough response in case of recurrence of an act of aggression,” Iran’s Chief of Staff Maj. Gen. Abdolrahim Mousavi said during a phone call with Saudi Defense Minister Prince Khalid bin Salman. He said Israel and the US launched attacks on Iran when Tehran was engaged in indirect nuclear negotiations with Washington. “The two regimes have shown that they do not adhere to any international rules and norms,” he added. “We did […]

For many long months, the Gaza Strip has been groaning under the weight of a devastating war; one that has left no stone unturned, no heart untouched by sorrow, and no home untainted by the scent of death. Hunger was never a passing guest in this besieged land, but in this war, it has become the dominant force, creeping into exhausted bodies and gripping the hearts of mothers who find nothing to feed their children. In this corner of the earth, famine has become an undeniable reality. Amid this devastation, Gaza is witnessing an unprecedented shortage of humanitarian aid. There is not enough food, no medicine to ease the pain, and no water to quench thirst. Worse still, the aid […]
