Israeli occupation forces demolished a Palestinian home in the occupied Jerusalem area and several residential and agricultural structures near Nablus in the northern West Bank on Monday. The demolitions displaced two families and damaged agricultural infrastructure.
In Qalandia, north of occupied Jerusalem, Israeli forces invaded the al-Bariyat area and surrounded a two-story home belonging to Thieb Hamad before demolishing it.
Local activist Mahmoud Awadallah said each floor measured approximately 250 square meters and that the home housed two families comprising 15 people.
The demolition left the 15 members of both families without a home. Israeli authorities cited the lack of a building permit as the reason for the demolition.
In Beit Dajan, east of Nablus in the northern West Bank, Israeli forces, accompanied by a military bulldozer, invaded the eastern section of the town and demolished a 100-square-meter residential structure and two agricultural sheds belonging to Nader Raja Haj Mohammad.
The forces also filled in a water collection well owned by the same resident, damaging facilities used for agricultural activity and water storage.
The Wall & Colonization Resistance Commission said Israeli authorities carried out 80 demolition operations across the occupied West Bank during July, targeting 165 structures. … Full article

Israeli occupation forces launched a widespread campaign of raids across the occupied West Bank early Monday, detaining at least 20 Palestinians and carrying out house raids, assaults, and demolitions across the West Bank, according to Palestinian sources.
In Nablus, the forces detained nine young men after surrounding a house in Beit Amreen. They also detained Mohammad al-Jarmi from the Upper Suburb and Mohammad al-Rayyan from Kafr Qalil, while surrounding a house in Jalud and assaulting its residents.
In Jenin and Tubas, two Palestinians were detained in Qabatiya and the al-Fara’a refugee camp. A young man in Jenin was also beaten, while his vehicle was stolen.
In Ramallah, Israeli occupation forces detained five youths from al-Mughayyir village and raided Zaita, north of Tulkarm. Meanwhile, young Palestinians reportedly foiled an attempt by settlers to steal horses in the Tayasir area east of Tubas. […]
Qusra Mayor Abdul Azim al-Wadi said Monday that Israeli settlers have continued to besiege three Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank town for a ninth consecutive day, as the Israeli military extended its operation in the area until Tuesday evening. … Full article

RAMALLAH – The Palestinian Prisoners Society (PPS) said at least ten women prisoners have been infected with scabies inside Damon Prison, citing recent visits by human rights organizations to examine their conditions and detention circumstances.
In a statement issued on Monday, the PPS said the infected prisoners are among more than 90 women held by Israel in the prison, including pregnant prisoners, girls and others suffering from chronic illnesses and health problems.
The society linked the spread of the disease to harsh health and humanitarian conditions imposed by the Israeli prison administration, foremost among them high humidity, shortages of cleaning materials, overcrowding in cells, poor ventilation and a severe lack of clothing.
It explained that these conditions have contributed to the wide spread of the disease among prisoners since May 2024.
The PPS stated that the continued spread of scabies more than two years after it was first documented reflects the absence of any serious response by the prison system.
It added that Israeli responses to petitions filed by rights organizations, including Physicians for Human Rights, have remained limited and have not brought about changes that provide prisoners with the protection they need.
The society warned that scabies has become a real health threat to detainees’ lives amid denial of treatment, worsening health conditions and complications that have reached dangerous levels in some cases.
It cited the case of child detainee Mohammed Hmeid, whose scabies infection and the subsequent bacterial infection caused damage to his nervous system and ultimately led to the amputation of one of his legs.
The PPS said large numbers of prisoners have contracted the disease and partially recovered before being infected again because the same conditions persist.
Other prisoners have remained infected for more than five months without receiving real treatment, suffering from skin ulcers, severe inflammation and intense itching that deprives them of sleep and restricts their movement.
The society further elaborated that these conditions, along with denial of treatment, fall within a broader system of torture and systematic medical neglect, pointing to the use of epidemics and diseases as tools to exhaust and abuse detainees. … Full article

Israeli forces continued violating the “ceasefire” agreement in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, as a Palestinian child died from wounds sustained a day earlier and several other Palestinians were injured in attacks on displaced families and residential areas in Khan Younis and the Nuseirat refugee camp.
Israeli forces carried out airstrikes, artillery shelling, drone attacks, live fire, and demolition operations in areas under Israeli military control. Restrictions on humanitarian aid, commercial goods, and movement also remain in place.
Palestinian Red Crescent Society crews recovered the body of 14-year-old Suhail Masoud Shallouf south of Khan Younis in southern Gaza. The child died from wounds sustained after Israeli forces shot him on Saturday in the At-Tina Street area south of the city.
In the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis, seven Palestinians were injured when an Israeli drone struck a tent sheltering displaced families. Medical sources also reported that three Palestinians were wounded after Israeli forces opened fire on tents housing displaced residents in the Bir 19 area of Al-Mawasi.
Another Palestinian was injured by Israeli gunfire in a separate incident in Al-Mawasi, where many displaced Palestinians remain sheltered.
In central Gaza, several Palestinians were wounded when an Israeli drone fired a missile at a residential apartment in the Nuseirat refugee camp. Ambulance and emergency crews transferred the injured to Al-Awda Hospital for treatment.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces abducted three humanitarian aid truck drivers near the Kerem Shalom (Karem Abu Salem) Crossing, southeast of Rafah in southern Gaza. The drivers were identified as Ayad Marish, Zayed Abdul-Al, and Ibrahim Abu Jarad. … Full article

UNIFIL said Monday that Israeli ‘military activity’ in southern Lebanon has increased markedly over the past two weeks, with an average of 137 projectiles recorded each day between August 5 and 16. The UN peacekeeping force said the figure rose to 208 projectiles on Saturday and 185 on Sunday, as tensions intensified across the south.
UNIFIL warned that “civilians are once again bearing the brunt of the deteriorating security situation, with many families displaced or forced to alter their daily routines amid growing insecurity and uncertainty.” The mission said its peacekeepers continue to maintain a visible presence through patrols, monitoring, route clearance, efforts to reduce explosive risks, and the facilitation of humanitarian access.
UNIFIL stressed that UN Security Council Resolution 1701 remains the framework for restoring stability in southern Lebanon, emphasizing that renewed commitment by all parties to its principles is essential.
Israeli occupation forces have been for weeks carrying out attacks in southernLebanon on daily basis. The Israeli attacks vary from air strikes, to incursions, artillery fire and demolitions.

The Saudi education system is continuing to soften its treatment of Israel and the Israeli-Palestinian conflict in school curricula, Hebrew-language newspaper Maariv reported.
The newspaper cited a new report by research institute IMPACT-se, which examined Saudi school curricula from 2024 to 2026. It said Saudi Arabia had removed “hostile statements” and made changes to content relating to Israel, Jews and Jerusalem as part of the reform drive adopted by the ruling family under Vision 2030.
The report said one of the most notable changes was made to the Arabic-language textbook for Year 11. The 2023-2024 edition included the sentence, “Muslims will not give up Jerusalem”, but the sentence was removed entirely from editions for the 2024-2025 academic year and onward.
The institute said the sentence had portrayed Muslim control or presence in Jerusalem as being under threat, and that its removal eliminated a politically and religiously contentious reference to the city.

Yemen’s armed forces have struck a Saudi landing ship and several escort boats in the Red Sea in retaliation for Saudi Arabia’s ongoing military campaign and blockade.
Brigadier General Yahya Saree, the spokesman for the armed forces, said on Monday that military units carried out the operation off the coast of the Port of Mokha and deployed “a number of ballistic missiles” against the vessels.
They “successfully achieved” their objectives in the strike, Saree said.
The strike was precise and direct, he said, resulting in the complete destruction of the Saudi landing ship and the sinking of several vessels. The remaining vessels were also set ablaze. … Full article

The American aircraft carrier was built to terrify other nations. The USS Abraham Lincoln has instead become something far more revealing: a floating monument to an empire powerful enough to bomb half the world, yet too arrogant, overstretched and politically diseased to care properly for the people it sends to do the bombing.
The symbolism is almost vulgar in its perfection.
A nuclear-powered supercarrier — one of the most sophisticated instruments of organized violence ever constructed — prowls the waters near Iran, launching aircraft and advertising Washington’s capacity to reach virtually anywhere on Earth.
Below deck, meanwhile, sailors endure exhaustion, psychological strain, deteriorating conditions and the torment of a deployment whose end repeatedly disappears over the horizon.

A senior Iranian source has firmly rejected any Iranian involvement in a drone attack on the office of the Kurdistan Regional Government (KRG) prime minister in northern Iraq, dismissing the incident as another “false flag” operation.
Speaking to Lebanon’s Al-Mayadeen television network on Monday, the source stated that the early-morning incident in Erbil was a clear example of such staged operations.
The source stressed that Iran had no connection to the attack and underlined that Iranian military operations are always “officially and openly announced.”
“Anyone who respects Iran’s sovereignty earns Iran’s respect,” the source added. […]
Iran has previously carried out retaliatory strikes against bases of terrorist separatist groups operating in Iraq’s Kurdistan region, including areas around Sulaymaniyah and Erbil.
These actions followed reports that the United States and Israel were seeking to arm and mobilize Kurdish militias against Iran during the ongoing war of aggression.
Multiple sources indicate that the CIA has been working to supply weapons to Kurdish separatist groups based in northern Iraq.
The Trump administration has reportedly held active discussions with Iranian separatists and leaders of Kurdish militia factions, offering military support, including potential air cover, to encourage operations aimed at seizing parts of western Iran. … Full article

Although it certainly pales in comparison to the monstrous Epstein files, which unequivocally confirmed that the United States and the political West as a whole are run by a cabal of pedophile-cannibalistic Satanists, the latest scandal demonstrates why neither the American people nor the world can trust any claim coming from the mainstream propaganda machine or the US federal institutions.

The UK is deliberately escalating the Ukraine conflict and acting as an accomplice to Kiev’s terrorist attacks, Russia’s embassy in London has said, warning that Britain will be held accountable for its actions.
The statement comes after a Sunday Times report claiming that Ukrainian forces have used drones supplied by two British manufacturers for long-range attacks inside Russia over the past six months.
Multiple Ukrainian military sources told the newspaper that British UAVs had been deployed against industrial and military targets, including oil refineries in Volgograd and Yaroslavl.
The Russian Embassy responded on Monday, saying that the report confirms that “London is deliberately opting for an escalation of the Ukraine crisis, while hypocritically professing a desire for peace.”
“In doing so, the United Kingdom is acting as an accomplice and co-perpetrator of the bloody crimes and terrorist attacks committed by Ukrainian neo-Nazis, seeking to contain Russia and inflict maximum damage on it by proxy,” the embassy wrote, warning that “London’s actions will inevitably carry consequences for which it will have to answer.”
“The deeper its involvement in the conflict and the greater its support for Kiev’s terrorist machinery, the higher the price it will pay,” the statement concluded. … continue

MOSCOW – The West is planning a provocation involving accusations against Russia of allegedly supplying weapons illegally to drug cartels and other organized crime groups in Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico, Russia’s Foreign Intelligence Service (SVR) said on Monday.
According to the SVR, the intelligence service of one of the Western countries, in coordination with “Ukrainian henchmen,” intends to stage “another anti‑Russian provocation.”
“This time, the events unfold on the Latin American stage, and the plot itself resembles an excerpt from a third‑rate criminal drug detective story. The plan is to accuse Russia of illegally supplying weapons to drug cartels and other organized crime groups in Venezuela, Colombia, and Mexico,” the statement read.
Russian arms seized by the enemy during the special military operation are being transported to Venezuela, Colombia and Mexico as part of the provocation, and will be backed up with false documentation alleging the involvement in illegal arms supplies, the service said. … Full article

At a glance, the Hanover Institute for Public Policy looks like a new think tank dedicated to Israel/Palestine. The organization churns out think-tank style reports on questions such as “Does AIPAC Use ‘Dark Money in Elections?” and “Is Israel Carrying out a Deliberate Campaign of Starvation in Gaza?”
But the Hanover Institute is not a real think tank. None of the reports have bylines. A small disclaimer at the bottom of the webpage notes that the organization was created on behalf of the Israeli Government Advertising Agency by Piro, Inc, a firm co-founded by Daniel Rosenberg, the producer of Spike Lee’s “Inside Man.”
The Hanover Institute’s reports — all of which are about Israel and Palestine — appear to be part of an Israeli effort to influence chatbots. The institute’s “data reports” have footnotes and tables of contents, and they present arguments in a neutral tone, helping them appeal to chatbots like Claude or Gemini. Piro’s website says that it “author(s) content engineered for how LLMs evaluate credibility,” describing this service as “AI Story Optimization.” Others refer to this practice of influencing artificial intelligence as “LLM poisoning.” … continue

The Executive Vice President and co-founder of the Quincy Institute for Responsible Statecraft, Dr. Trita Parsi, said messages reportedly written by US servicemen on an aircraft flap in the Gulf reflect growing discontent among troops deployed to the region, including frustration over the indefinite nature of their assignments.
Parsi, who said the image had been sent to him from the field, shared photographs showing messages written in the dust on an aircraft flap. The messages included: “Be a good guy and do what Israel tells you to,” “Operation Epstein Fury,” and “Peace deal #64 incoming… ALL THIS FOR THE HOLY LAND.”
Parsi said he had no basis for comparing the sentiments expressed in the messages with those of US service members in previous wars, but suggested they could represent either new attitudes or a greater willingness to express such views openly. … continue

In a pointed social media post on Monday, Esmaeil Baqaei, spokesman for Iran’s Foreign Ministry, mocked Canada’s submissive stance toward the United States despite repeated humiliations from President Donald Trump.

Officials in Washington are allegedly discussing the possible use of nuclear weapons against Iran as the months-long conflict continues to escalate, former US Congresswoman Marjorie Taylor Greene has claimed.

“They are discussing using nuclear weapons on Iran in strategy meetings,” she wrote. “I’m not speculating, I know. And it’s pure evil.”
Greene claimed Washington was considering lowering the threshold for nuclear use despite US President Donald Trump repeatedly declaring victory in the conflict. She warned that such a move could trigger a “nuclear holocaust” and drag the world into a much wider war. … Full article

Lies are Unbekoming | August 15, 2026
Boston Children’s Hospital went from diagnosing almost no eleven-year-olds with central precocious puberty in 2017 through 2019 to diagnosing fifty in a single year. The Children’s Hospital of Philadelphia diagnosed nearly 250 minors with the same condition at age 10 or older between 2017 and 2024, including teenagers aged 14 to 18 — an age at which precocious puberty cannot exist by definition. These findings appear in Wolves in White Coats: How Doctors and Hospitals Pushed and Profited from the Fraud of “Gender Medicine,” a 2026 report commissioned by the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services. The pattern documented is not scattered clinical error. It is the systematic misuse of two diagnostic codes — E34.9 (endocrine disorder, unspecified) and E30.1 (central precocious puberty) — to secure insurance reimbursement for puberty blockers and cross-sex hormones that insurers would not have covered under the actual diagnosis. The report’s own nationwide claims analysis found nearly $50 million billed under the endocrine code and $11 million under the impossible precocious puberty code, for children in the wrong age bands, between 2015 and 2025.
The report was commissioned by HHS and produced by contributors drawn from the Independent Women’s Forum, the Ethics and Public Policy Center, and independent medical practice. Two of the physician contributors carry particular weight for what the document documents. Dr. Eithan Haim, a general surgeon in Texas, anonymously exposed Texas Children’s Hospital’s secret transgender program in May 2023, disclosures that led to the passage of state legislation, a Texas Attorney General investigation, and eventually the $10 million healthcare fraud settlement the report describes. Dr. Quentin Van Meter is a board-certified pediatric endocrinologist with 46 years of continuous clinical experience, trained at Naval Regional Medical Center Oakland and Johns Hopkins. The other contributors include Dr. Aaron Kheriaty, a psychiatrist and bioethicist who has testified before the U.S. and California Senates, and attorneys who have worked on the litigation the report cites. The document’s investigative work rests on primary sources — DOJ court filings, WPATH training slides, published clinic FAQs, whistleblower testimony under oath — not on secondary interpretation.
The document appeared at the moment the federal apparatus for promoting these interventions was being dismantled. The Biden administration had spent four years using executive orders, HHS guidance, CMS rulemaking, DOJ litigation, and EEOC enforcement to expand access to puberty blockers, cross-sex hormones, and surgeries for minors — often over state legislative objection and always without FDA approval of the drugs for these uses. Over 225 hospital systems built pediatric gender clinics during this window. The World Professional Association for Transgender Health, the Endocrine Society, the American Psychological Association, and the American Academy of Pediatrics published guidelines that appeared to represent independent medical consensus. In June 2025 the Supreme Court’s decision in United States v. Skrmetti closed the constitutional route the federal government had used to override state protections. The Texas Children’s Hospital settlement followed in May 2026, the Cleveland Clinic settlement in June, and this report in the second half of the same year. The document was produced when institutional cover was collapsing and the underlying evidence could finally be examined.
The full summary unpacks three findings that together explain how the scheme operated. … continue

The US is looking to Russia’s air defense technology as it develops a new generation of mobile radars following losses suffered during the war with Iran, Military Watch has reported. New THAAD radars are reportedly set to gain a mobile sensor platform function similar to those built into Russia’s S-300 and S-400 systems from the outset.
According to a report published earlier this week, Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) destroyed more than $3 billion worth of American air defense radars during the first week of the war on the Islamic Republic launched by Israel and the US in late February.
The losses reportedly included lower-value radars such as the AN/TPS-59, valued at around $70 million, as well as an AN/FPS-132 radar and two AN/TPY-2 X-band mobile radar systems from the THAAD anti-ballistic missile system, each valued at more than $1 billion. The destruction of the radars dealt a major blow to the situational awareness of US forces and their allies, the military-focused magazine noted.
The reported approach would potentially move away from the traditional Western concept of a self-contained air defense battery, according to the report. Instead, radars would serve as nodes in broader networks, allowing a mobile sensor to detect a target and relay data to remote launchers while remaining physically separate from the interceptors, the magazine noted. … continue

Israeli forces and extremist armed settlers have shot, beaten and detained Palestinians and forced families from their homes during a series of new attacks across the occupied West Bank.
The raids were carried out across the West Bank on Sunday, with Palestinians shot, beaten and detained while homes were searched and families forced to leave their properties.
In al-Khalil, two Palestinians were reportedly shot and eight others injured during an attack in the Al-Jaabari neighborhood of Al-Ras. The Palestinian Red Crescent said it treated 10 Palestinians.
A 60-year-old man was shot in the back and hand, while a 46-year-old man was also shot before being detained. Eight others, including a 66-year-old woman, were reportedly injured after being beaten.
The violence extended across al-Khalil. In Al-Arroub refugee camp, Israeli forces reportedly fired tear gas, arrested a young Palestinian and confiscated his vehicle. […]
In Qusra, south of Nablus, Palestinian families in Ras al-Ain faced a prolonged confrontation with settlers. According to Quds News Network, settlers surrounded three homes, erected a tent, blocked access roads and reportedly cut water and electricity, leaving residents effectively trapped.
The Abdel Salam and Abu Rida families said attacks had continued for more than four months amid efforts to establish a settlement outpost.
Yousef Abdel Salam and Qusai Abu Rida were among residents who refused demands to leave. Israeli forces later entered Qusra, saying they intended to dismantle an outpost at Jabal Ras al-Ain.

The Yemeni Armed Forces’ campaign to liberate their nation and end the Saudi-led blockade could be one of the most important events for the Arab world in decades. Not only will it have major implications for the ongoing regional war, but it also has the potential to dramatically reshape the region.
In July, the collapse of the Yemen-Saudi ceasefire agreement, which had been in place since 2022, was triggered by a strategic mistake committed by Riyadh. While Iran sought to break the inhuman blockade on Yemen through landing civilian airliners in the nation’s capital, Saudi Arabia’s air force rushed to bombard Sanaa International Airport. The Saudis may not have known it, but their irrational actions strung them up in a strategically placed trap.
Not only had the Sanaa government been coordinating a general mobilization, but its Armed Forces decided to directly retaliate by striking vital Saudi oil infrastructure and imposing a counter-blockade on their opponents to the north. … continue
US Central Command appears to have failed geography again, posting a map of the Middle East in which the Gaza Strip and the West Bank are shown as Israeli territory.

In the image, the Palestinian enclave and the West Bank are not separated from Israel by the border lines used elsewhere on the map.

Trump wants to make a deal with Iran. That’s why he murdered the current Supreme Leader’s father, along with 168 schoolgirls at Minab and hundreds of other civilians.
Trump’s attempts to make a deal with Iran include: threats of total annihilation, claims that he has already won, obscene Easter outbursts (“Open the Fuckin’ Strait, you crazy bastards, or you’ll be living in Hell – JUST WATCH! Praise be to Allah!” ), unilaterally declaring possession of the “Strait of Trump,” and vacillating between outraged tirades about how Iran will never have a nuclear weapon and deprecations of the “nuclear dust” that is so far underground it isn’t very important, anyway.
Does Trump think his arrogant scorn for the men and women he’s sent off on a deadly fool’s errand will somehow enhance his negotiating position? Does he imagine that telling the crew members of the USS Abraham Lincoln that after eight months at sea with extremely poor logistical support, “they haven’t been out there nearly long enough” will somehow win concessions from Iran’s Supreme Leader?
Is there some method to Trump’s apparent madness—some multidimensional-chess-style negotiating strategy? To find out, we turn to Trump’s magnum opus, The Art of the Deal. According the real author, Tony Schwartz, Trump didn’t write a single word of that book, and probably didn’t even read much of it. Schwartz says Trump spent a couple of hours with his (Schwartz’s) book, made a few minor marks, and falsely claimed authorship. … continue
The predatory business model that requires lifelong patients faces its first federal challenge with Kennedy’s historic SSRI initiative
A Midwestern Doctor | The Forgotten Side of Medicine | August 13, 2026
Story at a Glance:
• No industry, organization, or cause tasked with solving a problem will actually solve it, because the problem disappearing threatens their economic livelihood or political power.
• The pharmaceutical industry has perfected this model: drugs are designed to be taken perpetually rather than cure, side effects create demand for additional drugs, and the entire regulatory apparatus is structured to suppress affordable natural therapies that challenge it.
• SSRIs epitomize this dynamic — massively over-prescribed, frequently life-ruining, and nearly impossible to withdraw from—yet for decades, the industry successfully kept all criticism of them out of mainstream discourse.
• Kennedy announced a multi-agency federal effort to combat inappropriate SSRI prescribing, train providers in how to correctly taper patients off antidepressants, and provide non-pharmaceutical alternatives.
• This marks the first time in memory a federal health initiative has aimed to help get patients off a major drug class rather than on one.

The incoming Surgeon General wrote those four words in January 2021 — his private verdict on the WHO’s caution about vaccinating pregnant women. They became the operating metric of American public health. Five years later, they’re a prophecy his own texts fulfilled.
Story at a Glance
- On January 25–26, 2021, Dr. Anthony Fauci, CDC Director Rochelle Walensky, and Surgeon General nominee Vivek Murthy privately discussed a theoretical first-trimester miscarriage mechanism — “a really good point,” two of them called it — inside an evidence base one of them described as “a data free” zone. Nine days later, Fauci told the public the FDA had found “no red flags” for pregnant women.
- The viral “82% miscarriage rate” being attached to these texts is statistically invalid, and I will not use it. I’ll show you exactly why — because the documentary record is damning enough without it, and because the broken number is currently doing the officials’ rebuttal work for them.
- The day the WHO urged caution on vaccinating pregnant women, Murthy’s private reaction was not to weigh the evidence but to call the caution “potentially quite damaging to public confidence.” The WHO reversed within seventy-two hours. Five years later, the former CDC director is on television articulating the WHO’s original position.
- Six months after these texts, the same Murthy became the architect of the federal misinformation campaign that a federal appeals court found “likely coerced” the platforms — a campaign that, per Meta’s own subpoenaed records, sought removal of true information about side effects unless packaged with reassurance.
- A disclosure, before anything else: I am one of the twelve people that campaign named. A court has since found my deplatforming followed government pressure and contradicted the platform’s own policy assessment. I’ll show you that finding — and then I’ll show you why this story was never really about the twelve of us.

The very highest levels of the British government secretly exerted pressure on the BBC to censor a film about the army killing an unarmed child in 1972.
Official documents, recently discovered by the Pat Finucane Centre, also show the British Army was aware, shortly after the killing in Derry, that the boy had been killed at “point blank” range by an immensely powerful machine-gun.
However, the Ministry of Defence falsely informed an inquest into his death that he was shot from 25 meters away by a soldier who thought the boy was armed.
The case revolves around the shooting dead of 15-year-old Danny Hegarty during “Operation Motorman” in the early hours of July 31, 1972, as the British Army moved in to clear barricades and retake “no go” areas in the city that had previously been under IRA control.
A BBC Panorama reporter, Alan Hart (now deceased), had filmed people in Derry questioning the British Army’s account of how Hegarty was shot twice in the head and how his cousin accompanying him, Christopher, was wounded (another cousin, Thomas, was unscathed). … continue

The European Commission has been negotiating a secret agreement to share sensitive personal data with Israel’s police service, despite internal legal warnings that the deal could violate international law and put Palestinians at risk, according to a new report by civil rights group Statewatch published by Novara Media.
The draft agreement, originally negotiated with the European police agency Europol, would allow the exchange of biometric data, genetic information, location data, political views, and personal details.
Critical research indicates the deal has progressed despite a 2022 ruling by the Council of the EU’s Legal Service which deemed the proposal legally untenable. … continue

In two separate incidents, three Palestinians sustained live gunshot injuries in the southern West Bank governorates of Bethlehem, where soldiers shot a child, and Hebron, where colonizers shot two others, including a woman.
On Friday evening, Israeli forces invaded the town of Beit Fajjar, south of Bethlehem in the southern West Bank, shooting a young man with live ammunition.
Media sources reported that occupation soldiers stormed several neighborhoods in the town of Beit Fajjar, firing live rounds, concussion grenades, and tear gas canisters at Palestinian civilians.
Soldiers shot a Palestinian teen in the leg with live ammunition; neither the severity of his injury or his condition were known at the time of this report.
Meanwhile, on Friday evening, illegal Israeli colonizers stormed the town of Sa’ir, northeast of Hebron in the southern West Bank.
Media sources reported that armed colonizers fired live rounds at Palestinian citizens and their homes after invading the “Al-Adisa” area of Sa’ir town, resulting in the injury of two civilians. … Full article

Israeli forces have detained a Palestinian newlywed couple and raided a wedding hall amid rising tensions in the occupied West Bank and East al-Quds, where settlement activity remains at persistently high levels and extremist settlers continue to besiege homes and restrict residents’ movement.
On Friday, Israel’s so-called security minister Itamar Ben-Gvir published a post on the social media platform X after Israeli forces arrested the bride and groom for allegedly causing “traffic jams” during their wedding celebrations in the Negev region of the 1948-occupied Palestinian territories.
The newlywed couple was taken by Israeli police for interrogation while still wearing their wedding clothes.
Separately, Israeli troops raided a wedding hall at al-Eizariya town in the central part of the West Bank, and assaulted Palestinians inside.
The developments come amid a days-long Israeli settler siege of Palestinian homes in the occupied West Bank village of Qusra. … Full article

No-one has ever accused President Donald Trump of being anti-Israel. Trump has supported Israeli extremism far more than any other US president. In 2017 he moved the US embassy to Occupied Jerusalem, an extreme violation of US policy, international consensus, and international law. He strong-armed regional nations to establish “normal” relations with genocidal Israel, against the wishes of more than 95% of their populations. And he has waged relentless war on Iran on behalf of Israel, setting the stage for the current countdown to global economic catastrophe.
But all of that isn’t enough for Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu, who fancies himself Trump’s boss. On August 9, Netanyahu arrogantly rejected Trump’s 15-point Gaza peace plan, thumbing his nose at Trump himself and the Board of Peace that Trump chairs.
Since the Trump-brokered “ceasefire” of October 10, 2025, Israel has killed 1,258 people in Gaza. Trump has remained silent. But now, the stakes are higher. … continue

Three Palestinians were injured on Saturday in an Israeli drone strike targeting a motorcycle in Deir al-Balah in the central Gaza Strip, Anadolu reports.
The attack was the latest Israeli violation of a ceasefire agreement in effect since Oct. 10, 2025.
A medical source at Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital in central Gaza said that three injured people were brought to the facility, one of them in serious condition, after an Israeli drone struck a motorcycle on Salah al-Din Street, east of Deir al-Balah.
Early Saturday, the Israeli army carried out large-scale demolitions in areas under its control in Rafah in southern Gaza and east of Gaza City in the north.
Witnesses told Anadolu that they heard powerful explosions caused by Israeli forces blowing up buildings and other structures.
Israeli artillery also fired several shells toward areas east of the Zeitoun neighbourhood in southeastern Gaza City. … Full article

At least eleven people, including three children and two women, have been killed and several others injured in a series of Israeli airstrikes on southern Lebanon, despite US-mediated face-to-face negotiations between Beirut and Tel Aviv on a plan to establish “pilot zones” in southern Lebanon.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli warplanes struck a house on the outskirts of the town of Ansar, killed seven people and wounded three others, and destroyed the home early on Saturday.
Civil defense teams from the Islamic Health Authority, the Islamic Risala Scout Association and the Lebanese Red Cross evacuated the dead and injured from the targeted areas, NNA added.
Local news outlets said three Israeli air attacks struck the outskirts of Ansar in the Nabatieh district at dawn, as well as the Ali al-Taher hill on the fringes of Nabatieh al-Fawqa.
Civil defense officials said the reported death toll was preliminary as rescue and search operations continue at the affected site.
Another strike in Deir al-Zahrani, north of Nabatieh, killed four people and wounded several others, according to Lebanon’s Health Ministry and local news media outlets.
The Israeli military asserted it struck Hezbollah infrastructure in both the Nabatieh area and Ansar, which are some 15 kilometers (9 miles) apart. … Full article

Yemeni armed forces targeted the Saudi Aramco facility in Najran with a drone aircraft, a Yemeni military source confirmed on Friday.
The operation was carried out in response to Saudi warplanes breaching the northeastern airspace of Saada province in northern Yemen, according to the military source.
The source, speaking to the Yemeni Saba news agency, said “the operation achieved its goal successfully.” The source further stated that the strike was “in response to the violation of Yemen’s sovereignty by Saudi warplanes and their breach of the northeastern airspace of Saada province.”
The Yemeni government asserted that the Yemeni armed forces remain fully prepared to confront “aggression” and continue to target military reinforcements of the Saudi army.
It also emphasized that its field operations and the implementation of a navigation ban on Saudi ships in the Red Sea fall within the framework of a “blockade for blockade and escalation for escalation” equation, asserting that these actions are “a legitimate response to ongoing violations until the demands of the Yemeni people are achieved.” … Full article

An incredible expose by Ronen Bergman shows how Israel invents quotes from Iranian officials in order to manufacture “evidence” that Iran is building nuclear weapons. This event took place on August 5th, when it was reported globally that Ahmad Vahidi, commander of the IRGC had admitted that Iran was developing nuclear weapons. The only problem? It wasn’t true… continue

The United States has been forced to relocate much of its naval logistics operations to a remote base in the Indian Ocean following heavy attacks by Iran on its key military installation in Bahrain, according to reports.
The reports and analyses, published on Saturday by The New York Times and Defense Security Asia, indicated that the Pentagon had moved its primary naval logistics hub to Diego Garcia, an island in the central Indian Ocean shared between the US and the United Kingdom and under British command.
The reports showed that Iran’s missile and drone strikes, which began in late February after the launch of a joint US-Israeli aggression on the country, had severely damaged the Fifth Fleet command, which hosts US Naval Support Activity Bahrain. … continue

US President Donald Trump said in a speech on 14 August that the US would soon “finish defeating Iran” and that he would declare the Strait of Hormuz to be US territory.
“After we finish defeating Iran, which is being very badly defeated – pretty soon I’ll be declaring the Hormuz Strait a territory of the United States,” Trump said during a speech at a police academy in New York state.
A senior White House official told the Wall Street Journal on Saturday that Trump was “joking” and that the president has held no formal discussions with his advisers on any such takeover.
Responding to Trump’s comments, Iran’s Deputy Foreign Minister for legal and international affairs, Kazem Gharibabadi, stressed that “the Strait of Hormuz has been Iranian, is Iranian, and will remain Iranian.”
“The Strait of Hormuz cannot be seized by tweet, nor by aircraft carrier, nor by issuing an order, nor by an election speech,” Gharibabadi added, emphasizing Hormuz “will only be closed and opened under Iran’s command, and as long as you do not accept the reality of defeat and cease your fanciful delusions, Iran will continue to enforce the blockade.” … Full article

MOSCOW – The Russian Foreign Ministry has requested clarification from the United States and Turkiye over information released by the US Congress regarding plans to supply weapons to Ukraine, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said in a statement on Saturday.
“The Russian Foreign Ministry has requested clarifications from Washington and Ankara in connection with information released by the US Congress,” Zakharova said.
The US and Turkiye still have time to soberly assess the situation regarding plans to supply weapons to Ukraine, she said.
According to documents released by the US Congress, the arsenal is substantial, namely: 12 multiple rocket launchers and over 2,500 unguided cluster munitions for them, 47,000 cluster artillery shells of 203mm caliber, and 70 ATACMS operational-tactical missiles, Zakharova added. … continue
