Two Swedish members of the European Parliament say they were prevented from travelling to Israel on Sunday, despite holding entry permits and supporting documentation, Anadolu reports.
Left-wing MEPs Jonas Sjostedt and Hanna Gedin were stopped as they were preparing to board a flight from Athens to Tel Aviv.
They had planned to travel on to the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem, where they were due to meet representatives of the NGO Save the Children, visit refugee camps, and speak to Israeli and Palestinian human rights groups.
The two MEPs said they wanted to hear testimonies about what they described as deteriorating conditions and apartheid in the West Bank. … continue

WEST BANK – Israeli occupation authorities have escalated settlement activity in the West Bank by issuing military orders to seize hundreds of dunums of Palestinian land, alongside settler sieges and forced displacement carried out under army protection.
The measures reflect clear coordination between the army and settler militias to empty large areas for settlement expansion. … continue

The accounts describe tightly controlled areas where residents faced restrictions on movement and could leave only with authorization from militia members. Quds Press described the groups as receiving backing from the Israeli military. … continue

The Israeli army on Monday ordered the evacuation of a residential area north of the Al-Shati refugee camp in northwestern Gaza City, Anadolu Agency reports.
The area is home to tens of thousands of displaced Palestinians and local residents, witnesses said.
This development came after Israel threatened assassinations and the evacuation of residential neighborhoods over kites flown by children in the Gaza Strip, despite the Israeli army acknowledging that kites recovered near Gaza carried no suspicious material and posed no danger.

US envoy to Ankara Tom Barrack has walked back his comments regarding the Israeli occupation of Syria’s Golan Heights.
Barrack concurred on Friday that the Israeli regime forces “still” occupy the Golan Heights in violation of UN resolutions confirming Syria’s sovereignty over the territory.
His remarks went against US President Donald Trump’s position on the matter, who in 2019 recognized Israeli sovereignty over the Syrian territory, reversing the decades-long US policy regarding the Golan Heights.
On Sunday, Barrack followed suit, saying his comments described the territory’s historical status and were “not an endorsement of the United Nations’ position” on the Syrian Golan Heights.
He said that what he meant to say on Friday was that agreements negotiated between countries are more durable than territorial maps. … Full article

US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent has announced new sanctions against Iran, and threatened to boot any country dealing financially with Tehran out of the US dollar system, in a bid to make Iran an “economic outcast.”
The new sanctions target nearly 60 entities, individuals, and vessels in multiple jurisdictions that allegedly trade in “illicit nuclear and missile technology” with Iran, aid Iran’s “cyber operations,” and move Iranian oil, the US Treasury Department said in a statement on Monday. More than a third of the sanctioned entities and individuals – 21 – are based in China.
The Treasury also said it had identified digital assets, technology, gold, aviation and shipping as areas for potential secondary sanctions.
Speaking at a press conference later on Monday, Bessent went further, announcing the beginning of “Operation Economic Outcast,” which he described as “an economic onslaught against Iran’s financial connections around the globe.”
Bessent explained that the US would penalize any country refusing to sever its economic ties with Tehran. “Any entity that facilitates money laundering on behalf of Iran will be removed from the US dollar system,” he said, adding “the clock just started ticking.” … continue

Iran will strike US bases in European countries if those nations participate in aggression against it, Iran’s Foreign Ministry spokesman Esmail Baghaei warned on Monday.
During his weekly press briefing, Baghaei emphasized that “Iran does not accept that the aggressor sets the conditions for ending the war,” adding, “there is no justification for any country to fear Iran unless that country opens its territory to the United States for aggression against Iran.”
He stressed that “it is Iran’s right to target the source and origin of any aggressive action against the Islamic Republic.”
Baghaei also affirmed that “Iran did not start the war and was exercising its legitimate right to self-defense, and will not allow the war to end on the aggressor’s terms,” explaining that “Iran used all diplomatic tools to prevent war”.
He stated that, “we did not start the war, and we should not blame ourselves for the continuation of this situation”. … continue

The spokesperson for Iran’s Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), Hossein Mohebbi, dismissed US officials’ claims that Iranian radars had been targeted and that oil tankers could transit the Strait of Hormuz as “media hype”.
Mohebbi told Mehr news agency that “the IRGC’s surveillance and intelligence-gathering capabilities cannot be confined to the radars known to the enemy.”
He highlighted the surveillance, reconnaissance, and intelligence-gathering methods employed by Iran’s armed forces, saying the IRGC’s monitoring capabilities “do not rely on satellites, as the Americans believe; rather, there are other surveillance methods that the opposing side may not yet be capable of detecting”.
Mohebbi said, “If the Islamic Republic did not have a discerning eye capable of monitoring maritime movements, how could it accurately strike specific targets at sensitive points on vessels?”
He stressed that Iran maintains continuous intelligence coverage of maritime activity, saying that when a missile strikes a critical point on a vessel and disables it, this demonstrates both intelligence superiority and the ability to acquire and engage targets with precision. … continue

The European Commission has approved €6.1 billion ($7.1 billion) in new weapons purchases for Ukraine, the commission said on Monday. The tranche is part of a €90 billion loan allocated by Brussels for budgetary and military aid to Kiev earlier this year.
Facing mounting battlefield pressure, Kiev is increasingly pushing for faster aid disbursements as it relies heavily on foreign funding to plug a widening budget gap and sustain its war effort against Russia. Moscow has argued that Western military aid to Ukraine, which comes at the expense of ordinary taxpayers, only serves to prolong the conflict.
In April, the EU approved a €90 billion ($105 billion) emergency loan for Ukraine that allocates €30 billion for budget support and €60 billion for military aid in 2026-2027. The loan, backed by joint EU borrowing and repayable only if Kiev receives war reparations from Russia, was pushed through after plans to seize Russian sovereign assets frozen in the West failed. Hungary, the Czech Republic, and Slovakia have secured exemptions from the scheme.
The latest tranche came on top of €16 billion of previously approved procurement plans, of which €8.35 billion has already been transferred to Kiev. The €6.1 billion disbursement is expected to finance air and missile defense systems, missiles, ammunition, and radars, according to European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen.

The war in Ukraine has long ceased to be a bilateral conflict between Moscow and Kiev. What began as a military operation has evolved into a sustained hybrid NATO campaign against Russia, with Ukraine receiving military assistance and intelligence sharing, European states rearming, and the anti-Russia sanctions regime continually expanding. The cumulative effect is an attempt to degrade Russia’s strategic capacity while avoiding the formal declaration of direct war.
According to Bild, military planning documents are circulating within NATO. The documents, developed by United States Army Major Andrew Pingray, lay out that the objectives in a war with Russia would be to halt an offensive and significantly weaken the Russian military’s potential. The German newspaper reports that NATO has developed a multi-phase concept for a potential large-scale conflict with Russia, often referred to as the NATO Land Warfighting Concept.
“NATO is preparing with a new concept of land warfare for a possible Russian attack in the Baltic region,” the publication says. … continue

MOSCOW – The next military exercises of Latvia’s armed forces and NATO troops, Namejs 2026, involving about 12,000 personnel, will take place from September 2 to October 8 across the Baltic republic, a news portal reported on Monday.
About 12,000 servicemen and Latvian national guard volunteers, including representatives from Canada, the United States, Estonia, Lithuania and other NATO countries, will take part in the exercises, the report said.
In eastern regions of Latvia, an increase in drone flights, including near the border, is expected during the drills, media reported. Military equipment and personnel will also move across Latvia, with military aircraft flights possible in the airspace, including at low altitude, and live-fire exercises at training grounds.

Japan does not plan to supply Ukraine with weapons, Chief Cabinet Secretary Minoru Kihara has said. At a press briefing on Monday, he told reporters that Tokyo “is not considering any deliveries” of defensive or offensive weapons “at this time.”

MOSCOW – Finland’s cooperation with Ukraine in the field of drone production makes it complicit in international terrorism, Russian Foreign Ministry spokeswoman Maria Zakharova said.
“Official Helsinki is essentially complicit in international terrorism. Moreover, the state is dragging ordinary Finns into a bloody abyss,” Zakharova said.
Zelensky announced on Sunday that Finnish and Ukrainian companies had signed documents on the development and production of drones in Finland for the needs of Ukraine and Europe.
Russia says that arms supplies to Ukraine hinder the peace process and make NATO allies a party to the conflict. Russian Foreign Minister Sergey Lavrov says that any shipments containing weapons for Ukraine will be a legitimate military target.

A Ukrainian monk has been stabbed to death and two other people are seriously wounded in an attack at a monastery in the Ukrainian-controlled northern part of the Donetsk People’s Republic, near the frontline of the conflict with Russia.
The deadly assault by a group of unidentified perpetrators occurred on Sunday morning near a 17th-century church at the Svyatogorsk Lavra. The monastery is run by the Ukrainian Orthodox Church (UOC), which has faced a sweeping government crackdown in recent years.
The Svyatogorsk monastery identified the slain monk as Barsanuphius. The two surviving victims were named as junior monk Gregory and a refugee, Andrey Kirienko.
Gregory managed to reach the monks’ dormitory and alert others to the attack. Both survivors suffered punctured lungs and severe blood loss and were rushed to the hospital, the monastery said.
Ukrainian police did not immediately comment on the criminal investigation into the attack. Unconfirmed reports suggest that Ukrainian troops may have been responsible. … Full article

Two children were killed and seven others injured when a Ukrainian drone struck a childcare center during an overnight barrage on the southern Russian city of Krasnodar on Monday, regional governor Veniamin Kondratyev said.
Kondratyev added that two adults were hospitalized following what he described as “a massive attack by enemy drones” on the city near the Black Sea coast. He said apartment blocks were also hit and a warehouse caught fire.
E-commerce giant Ozon, Russia’s equivalent of Amazon, said a drone struck one of its warehouses in Krasnodar, causing a large fire. All employees were evacuated, the company said on Telegram.
Ukrainian drones also targeted an unspecified industrial site in Nevinnomyssk in the neighboring Stavropol Region, Governor Vladimir Vladimirov said.
Two civilians were injured in strikes the previous day in Belgorod Region, which borders Ukraine, according to regional emergency services.
Ukraine has stepped up its deep-strike campaign in recent months, targeting energy sites, ports, and warehouses in an effort to disrupt Russia’s logistics. In many cases, drones have also hit civilian targets, including apartment blocks and fuel trucks on highways.
Russian President Vladimir Putin said on Saturday that the strikes would neither destroy the country’s economy nor dampen public morale, but “would have exactly the opposite effect.”

The Guardian has published an open letter to Iran’s “political prisoners,” signed by Angela Davis, Mumia Abu-Jamal, Rashid Khalidi, Robin DG Kelley, Ruth Wilson Gilmore, Judith Butler, and Walden Bello, among others (although Kelley has since withdrawn his signature, and there is considerable doubt that Mumia Abu-Jamal knowingly lent his name to the venture).
These are not people to be dismissed lightly. Many have made important contributions to the anti-imperialist and Black liberation movements, and one of them is currently writing from within a US prison. Nevertheless, the letter is wrong and serves an objectively harmful purpose.
The central metaphor employed is that of “the two blades of a scissors”: the Islamic Republic on one side, and the United States and Israel on the other, with the Iranian people being crushed between them. Such an image manufactures symmetry between the perpetrators of an ongoing criminal war of aggression and the victim of that war; between the warmongering Epstein coalition and an independent country with no record of invading anyone.
The signatories justify their position by “rejecting the false binary of imperialism and hollow anti-imperialism”. But how hollow, exactly, is Tehran’s anti-imperialism? … continue

As the US and Israel continue to wage war on Iran, the Guardian published an open letter signed by a number of academics – mostly US and UK-based – condemning Iran’s internal policies.
The letter accused Iran of engaging in “deepening criminalization of the working class and unemployed, the targeting of Kurds, Arabs, and Baloch, and the scapegoating of Afghan migrants: all desperate attempts to kill the spirit of people they cannot contain” called to “reject the false binary of imperialism and hollow anti-imperialism” and even called on anti-imperialists in the West to focus their energy on critiquing Iran’s internal issues as Western governments wage war on Iran, writing, “We invite global civil society and anti-imperialist activists and organizations to extend their unconditional support and solidarity to all incarcerated kin fighting for our collective liberation, to build relationships with Iranian political prisoners and uplift their voices, to put pressure on the Islamic Republic by challenging its narrative, and to call upon that government to immediately stop all the executions and free all political prisoners.”
Iran, like most countries, no doubt has internal issues that need to be solved, but asking Western academics to focus on those issues as the West wages a brutal war on Iranian civilization at the behest of Israel seems badly timed, to put it mildly. … continue

Behind the gamified interfaces of our most popular dating apps lies a centralized corporate architecture designed not just to match couples, but to fundamentally re-engineer the social fabric of American life. […]
Their broader political commitments reinforce the pattern of Jewish activism that seeks to disrupt the mores and demographics of broader gentile society. Diller has been a prominent donor to immigration and civil rights causes, including FWD.us since 2013. Rascoff supports expanded immigration and inclusive hiring initiatives aligned with the tech sector’s preferences. Rad, through Tinder’s platform evolution, added numerous gender identity options and promoted inclusive dating practices on a global scale.
The consequences for American social cohesion are measurable. Young Americans are having less sex and reporting fewer partners than prior generations — a documented sex recession — even as dating apps concentrate casual sex-seeking users through selection. App attention is extremely unequal, with Tinder’s like distribution showing a Gini coefficient near 0.58 — comparable to some of the most unequal income distributions in the world. The marriage rate continues to decline while online platforms replace the communal institutions of church, alumni networks, and neighborhood ties that once structured courtship.
The architecture of American romance now runs through companies controlled by a small Jewish elite, and that architecture has fundamentally re-ordered how the nation forms its most intimate relationships, much to the detriment of its social fabric. – Full article

Israel’s chief rabbi David Yosef has denied the existence of Palestinians as a nation and their rights, in remarks the Council on American-Islamic Relations (CAIR) slammed as “hate-filled” rhetoric.
“There is no such thing as a Palestinian people, and they have no rights,” he said at the Gush Katif Museum in West al-Quds.
The extremist chief rabbi also reiterated Israel’s claim of sovereignty over the Gaza Strip and the Palestinian cities across the occupied West Bank.
Additionally, he called for the destruction of Gaza and the establishment of Israeli settlements in the besieged Palestinian territory, claiming that “Gaza is ours” and “we will return there.”
CAIR, the United States’ largest Muslim civil rights and advocacy organization, condemned Yosef’s “hate-filled” rhetoric, saying it “dehumanizes Palestinians and helps create an ideological and religious climate in which genocide is normalized and justified.”
“It is profoundly disturbing that a religious leader would deny the very existence and basic rights of an entire people,” CAIR National Executive Director Nihad Awad added.
“Palestinians are a people with a deep-rooted history, culture, identity and connection to their homeland. Their existence and their human rights are not matters for anyone to grant or deny.”
Awad also noted that Palestinians deserve the same fundamental rights, dignity, freedom, and security that every human being deserves. … Full article

On Saturday, illegal Israeli colonizers assaulted four Palestinian citizens in the occupied West Bank governorates of Jenin, Tubas, and Hebron. In Ramallah, colonizers rammed a Palestinian citizen’s vehicle, while another group established a new colonial outpost.
Media sources reported that a group of Israeli colonizers brutally assaulted a Palestinian child in the town of Tammun, south of Tubas in the northeastern part of the West Bank.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society (PRCS) reported that its ambulance crews transported a 15-year-old child to the hospital after he was severely assaulted by colonizers.
Meanwhile, a group of armed Israeli colonizers assaulted Palestinian citizens in the town of Arraba, southwest of Jenin in the northern West Bank.

Moreover, a colonizer rammed a Palestinian vehicle travelling between the villages of Al-Mughayyir and Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah in the central West Bank.
Media sources reported that a vehicle was run off the road after an illegal colonizer slammed into it on the Marj Si’a road, causing material damage but no injuries.
In related news, illegal colonizers set up mobile homes on lands northeast of Ramallah, which are owned by the citizen Muhammad Ziad Taleb Hazma, with the aim of establishing a new settlement outpost.
A member of the Turmus Ayya municipal council, Awad Abu Samra told WAFA that illegal colonizers stormed the Marj Si’a area, between the town of Turmus Ayya and the village of Al-Mughayyir, and erected a number of caravans.

Hammam Khazem, son of the late Fathi Khazem (Abu Raad) who was killed by Israeli forces this week, was interviewed by Al Jazeera on Saturday about his father’s assassination. Khazem talked about how the Israeli army planned the assassination in advance, and used a neighbor as a human shield when they entered the house, stressing that his father refused to bow to the soldiers before his assassination.
In the interview with Al Jazeera, Hammam described how the Israeli occupation forces smashed the door of the house and demanded his father’s ID, then ordered him to bend over and take off his clothes completely. But Fathi refused, saying: “Who are you for me to bend over to you?” A verbal altercation broke out between Fathi and the soldiers, which ended with the soldiers shooting him inside the house, killing him with 7 bullets that hit several areas of his body in front of his minor son Adam (14 years old).
After the assassination of Fathi Khazem, the Israeli occupation forces took his child, 14-year old Adam, and their neighbor, whom they used as a human shield before entering the bathroom, and stripped them of their clothes completely. … Full article

Iran has discovered a major new gas field in southern Fars province, with recoverable reserves estimated at around 5.7 trillion cubic feet.
Speaking on state television on Sunday, Iran’s Petroleum Minister Mohsen Paknejad said the newly discovered field contains more than 7.5 trillion cubic feet of gas in total.
The recoverable volume, he added, is equivalent to about 15 years of production from phase one of the South Pars gas field.
The field, known as Takht-e, contains sweet natural gas, which has relatively low levels of sulfur compounds and is therefore expected to reduce development and operating costs, according to the minister.
Paknejad also said the discovery includes substantial quantities of gas condensate, a valuable hydrocarbon liquid produced alongside natural gas. … continue
Sputnik’s analysis of statistical data exposes the staggering math of Ukraine’s post-Maidan borrowing binge.
According to Ukraine’s Ministry of Finance, at the end of 2013 – amid the ongoing West-instigated protests and still before the overthrow of then-President Viktor Yanukovych – the country’s external state debt stood at the equivalent of $6.71 billion.
- By June 2026, this figure had grown 24 times, amounting to roughly $166.04 billion
- The country’s external debt continues to soar: in June of this year alone, it increased by $1.76 billion
- External indebtedness currently accounts for 78.5% of total state debt
Statistical data previously examined by Sputnik shows that Ukraine’s overall debt – both external and domestic – has also ballooned since the end of 2013.
- At that time, it stood at about $13.08 billion
- By June 2026, the total debt had increased 16.2 times, exceeding $211.6 billion
The Ukraine regime has been scrambling to plug holes in the budget with external financing, yet Western aid packages come increasingly unwillingly to the corruption-mired regime.
Assumptions that Moscow will lose the conflict and pay reparations are “just fairy tales,” Nikolay Azarov has told RT

The EU keeps providing “loans” to Ukraine despite knowing that its government will never repay them, the country’s former prime minister, Nikolay Azarov, has said.
In a post on X on Sunday, Vladimir Zelensky called funding the Ukrainian military one of the “major challenges” his government is currently facing. “A lot of money is needed,” he wrote. Making sure that the second tranche of a €90 billion ($105 billion) transfer approved by the EU earlier this year arrives in Ukraine is “an extremely difficult task,” but he is working on it with Germany and France, Zelensky stressed.
In an interview with RT on Saturday, Azarov said that “loans and Western assistance that amounts to about three-fourths of the state budget of Ukraine are covering the budget deficit, funding arms purchases and sponsoring the Nazi terrorist and corrupt regime.”
When the European Commission and major EU countries, who have been the main supporters of Ukraine after US President Donald significantly reduced American aid to Kiev, “grant these loans, they know that they won’t get this money back,” he said.
“And this causes some irritation among EU bureaucrats because they understand that the money of the American and European taxpayers is being embezzled in a very outrageous manner,” the former prime minister said.
Inside the Ukrainian government, there is “an organized criminal group that embezzled the funds that Ukraine received as part of these loans,” he said.
According to Azarov, that is the reason why EU ambassadors held a meeting in Kiev with the investigators of the Western-backed National Anti-Corruption Bureau of Ukraine (NABU) and “supported actions to expose corruption in the country,” particularly in Zelensky’s office. … Video interview

“If it goes against Georgia’s interests, we do not care whose interests it serves,” Sharmanashvili said.
“The question of whether Georgia joins a resolution or takes steps in international affairs is determined by one criterion alone: whether it serves the country’s interests at that particular moment,” he added.

US President Donald Trump announced on August 19 local time that he would launch a so-called “economic D-Day” operation against Iran. US Treasury Secretary Scott Bessent, in outlining the operation, described it as “economic warfare and isolation on an unprecedented scale,” adding that other countries “are either with us or against us.” When asked whether the new sanctions would involve China, Bessent urged China to “get with the program,” claiming that would do China “a big service.”
The US war against Iran has now entered its sixth month, with both sides now locked in a stalemate – unable to escalate the conflict further yet unable to reach a negotiated settlement. The so-called “economic D-Day” operation is less a new offensive launched by the US against Iran than it is yet another attempt by Washington to cut its losses as quickly as possible and extricate itself from the quagmire of the Middle East – a move to change tactics and keep gambling after military means have proven ineffective.
But it may well be heading in the wrong direction. Whether it is the ever-rising bills at US gas stations or the soaring energy and shipping costs in global markets, one thing is clear: Economic sanctions can concentrate pressure on a single country, but it is difficult to confine the costs to that country alone. War cannot solve problems, and sanctions only add fuel to the fire. … continue

Several Palestinians, including a child, were injured by Israeli occupation forces and settlers while confronting attacks against them and their property across the occupied West Bank.
Israeli occupation forces and settlers continued their attacks on Palestinians and their property, leaving several residents injured as they attempted to confront the assaults, amid an intensifying campaign of violence, restrictions, and land seizures across the occupied territory.
Two Palestinians were injured as young men confronted Israeli occupation forces and settlers on the outskirts of Arraba, southwest of Jenin in the northern occupied West Bank.
A child from the town of Biddu was also injured after settlers hurled stones at residents’ vehicles near the tunnel connecting Biddu and al-Jib, northwest of occupied Jerusalem.
Israeli occupation forces and settlers also opened fire at residents in the village of Osrin, southeast of Nablus, as well as during an Israeli occupation forces raid on al-Amari refugee camp in al-Bireh.
Settlers targeted Palestinian vehicles on major roads as they raided several villages, hurling stones at the vehicles and causing damage to a number of them.
Meanwhile, the destruction of agricultural land and uprooting of trees continued in several areas and communities across occupied al-Quds and the occupied West Bank, as part of measures aimed at tightening restrictions on Palestinians and advancing attempts to seize their land.

In a statement, the Israeli army claimed that its forces killed a commander with the Al-Qassam Brigades, the armed wing of the Islamic Resistance Movement – Hamas.
[WAFA – August 22, 2026 – The body of a Palestinian and several injured individuals were transported to Al-Aqsa Martyrs Hospital after an Israeli drone struck the courtyard of a home in Deir al-Balah, in the central Gaza Strip. Medical sources reported that Sharif al-Hasanat was killed and others were wounded.]
The Times of Israel quoted the army who claimed that the strike on Deir al-Balah killed Sharif al-Hasanat, whom it called “a company commander in the terror group’s Deir al-Balah battalion”
It published a post by the army on the X platform claiming that al-Hasanat has been “eliminated” despite the strike being in violation of the so-called ceasefire agreement.
Meanwhile, occupation forces injured a Palestinian child after shooting him with live ammunition in Beit Lahia, in the northern Gaza Strip; the severity of his injury was not known at the time of this report. … Full article

Israeli forces have carried out a new ground incursion into a village in Syria’s southwestern province of Quneitra amid heightened military activity near the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, according to local media.
Al-Ikhbariyah Syria television news channel reported that an Israeli military convoy moved into the village of al-Basali on Friday, and ransacked one of the houses before withdrawing from the area. However, no abductions were reported.
The development came a day after Israeli artillery fire struck agricultural land south of the town of Jubata al-Khashab. They simultaneously launched a number of illumination flares, which sparked a fire in the farmland.
Earlier, Israeli forces had raided the town and abducted two people. … Full article

For its part, the Israeli occupation army confirmed carrying out a strike in southwest Syria a short while ago, saying it targeted a “terror operative” who advanced terror attacks in final stages of preparation.”

Israeli occupation forces have launched a series of air and artillery attacks on several areas of southern Lebanon, with Lebanese state media reporting the use of phosphorus shells.
Lebanon’s official National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli artillery fire struck the outskirts of Mansouri, the area around Bayt al-Sayyad and the outskirts of Majdal Zoun early Saturday. It also reported extensive explosions in the three areas overnight.
Bayt al-Sayyad sustained particularly heavy damage, with NNA reporting that homes across the town had been extensively destroyed and that no house remained undamaged.
The attacks also affected Hadatha, Beit Yahoun and Aita al-Jabal, where explosions were reported overnight.
Machine-gun fire was directed toward nearby valleys, while Israeli drones continued flying over towns and villages in western and central parts of southern Lebanon, according to the agency.
In a separate development, Israeli warplanes carried out two strikes at around 6:45 a.m. local time (0345 GMT) on Ali al-Taher hill, north of Nabatieh al-Fawqa, NNA reported.

Families and relatives of 11 journalists martyred while covering Israeli airstrikes and artillery shelling on various neighborhoods in southern Lebanon have demanded that Israeli authorities be tried before the International Criminal Court (ICC) for war crimes perpetrated against the members of the press.
During a memorial service dubbed “Martyrs of the Word and Image” at the Lebanese National Theater in the capital Beirut on Friday, journalists and media professionals who were killed while performing their duties and providing field coverage of events in Lebanon were honored.
The event was attended by a crowd of journalists and representatives of local and Arab media outlets, alongside the families of the victims and political and cultural figures.
The organizers set up panels featuring pictures of the victims in their press vests, along with evocative theatrical scenes commemorating moments of vicious Israeli attacks and the resilience of their lost loved ones.
The families of the journalists underscored their determination to continue their legal and judicial efforts until justice is achieved, stressing their commitment to demanding the rights of their loved ones to ensure that the perpetrators do not escape punishment, and that their cause will remain ongoing and will not fade with the passage of time.
A spokesperson for the bereaved families confirmed that they are continuing to collect documents and field testimonies in order to compile a comprehensive legal file of circumstantial evidence.
The file will then be submitted to the ICC to refute Israeli narratives and prove the direct targeting of media teams as they were performing their professional duties. … Full article

The Moroccan city of Marrakesh witnessed a large demonstration on Friday evening organized by supporters of the Palestinian people, who gathered to voice their strong opposition to the visit of Israeli occupation Transport Minister Miri Regev.
The protest came as Regev arrived in Marrakesh aboard the first direct flight between “Israel” and Morocco in three years.
Regev, a prominent minister in Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, is visiting Morocco to announce the resumption of the direct air route between Tel Aviv and Marrakesh, operated by Arkia Airlines, following a nearly three-year suspension.
An Israeli delegation is accompanying the minister, who has faced protests over her record of anti-Palestinian positions, as well as her racist and inflammatory rhetoric. … continue

A British judge ruled on 21 August that five Palestine Action activists convicted of criminal damage at a Barclays branch will not be sentenced as “terrorists.”
In a joint statement, the five said they were “extremely relieved that the court has seen sense and decided not to sentence us as terrorists.”
“This should never have been an option,” they said. “We were on trial for charges of criminal damage, for damaging some windows and spraying red paint on a Barclays branch. At no point during the trial were we, or the jury, informed that, if convicted, we could face being sentenced as terrorists.”
The five activists, aged between 28 and 70 years old, were convicted in June over causing nearly $300,000 in damage to a Barclays branch in Burnley, Lancashire, in August 2024, in protest at its stake in leading Israeli arms firm Elbit Systems.
Palestine Action was not proscribed as a terrorist organization when the five had acted or when the jury convicted them.
Trial judge Philip Parry told their legal team after the verdicts that he would examine whether a terrorist connection applied, following a June ruling in which four activists convicted of criminal damage at Elbit’s Filton site near Bristol were sentenced as terrorists.
Raj Chada of Hodge Jones & Allen, which has represented several Palestine Action defendants, said the terrorist connection provision is not new law, but that in his experience it has surfaced almost exclusively in cases involving the group, and against activists whose offenses came before the ban. He described its use this way as highly unusual. … Full article

As the historic American population begins to awaken to its own dispossession, the establishment has deployed a new strategy of promoting “kosher nationalism.” By co-opting the language of sovereignty and tradition, these figures infiltrate the populist ranks to ensure that dissent remains impotent, performative, and above all else, harmless to the interests of the Jewish networks that have long dictated the terms of our political discourse since the end of World War II. … continue

Pentagon fired the editor-in-chief, publisher, and a top reporter of the Stars and Stripes newspaper on Friday over “insubordination.”
Erik Slavin, editor-in-chief of the military newspaper that is partly funded by the Pentagon, told The Associated Press he was dismissed for insubordination after an interview he gave that objected to censorship by the US military on conditions facing US soldiers aboard USS Abraham Lincoln.
He received a notice of separation, as did publisher Max Lederer — who had just announced his upcoming retirement — and West Asia reporter Lara Korte, Slavin said.
Slavin said he was being fired “for stating in a CBS interview that hypothetical censorship of news for service members would constitute a red line.” Korte participated in the same interview.
“I stand by the principle that Stars and Stripes must remain editorially independent, as required by law and by the department’s own policies,” Slavin said.
Korte said on X: “Today, I was informed that the Department of Defense is firing me for insubordination after I told a CBS reporter that I work for Stars and Stripes — not the Pentagon, not the administration, and not any policymaker.” … Full article

US journalist Ethan Levins said he was questioned by the Department of Homeland Security after returning to the United States from Lebanon, revealing that authorities asked him about his criticism of Israeli Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir.
In a post on X, Levins said the questioning took place the previous day and that authorities focused on why he had posted negative comments about Ben Gvir.
“I am a born American who lives in the United States, and they stopped me at the airport for an Israeli politician,” Levins wrote.
He added, “I’m serious.” … continue

California lawmaker Aisha Wahab has been elected to the US Congress after defeating her opponent funded by pro-Israel groups.
Wahab, a 39-year-old progressive Democratic state senator, defeated Melissa Hernandez, 51, a moderate Democrat.
She is the first Muslim and Afghan American elected to the California State Senate, and the first Afghan American elected to Congress.
She will now replace Eric Swalwell, who resigned from the House amid reports of sexual misconduct.
Swalwell’s term was scheduled to end in January. Wahab will now fill in for the remainder of Swalwell’s term.
According to media reports, United Democracy Project, a super PAC affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), spent nearly $2.5mn since early August to boost Hernandez.
The news outlet CNN reported that BOLD America, another group that receives funding from AIPAC, also spent $1.9mn. … continue

The Israeli government is running advertisements on a popular podcast hosted by Sen. Ted Cruz (R-Texas), raising questions about whether the staunchly pro-Israel lawmaker is indirectly receiving campaign funding from a foreign country.
Radio and podcast giant iHeartMedia has syndicated Cruz’s show, “Verdict with Ted Cruz,” since 2022. Because of lobbying-related restrictions, the company cannot legally pay the senator for ad revenue. But, it turns out, that’s not the only way to ensure the money benefits Cruz. … continue
