Egyptian construction firms coordinated with Israel on a US-backed “Green Rafah” project aimed at “housing” tens of thousands of Palestinians in the city that was eradicated by Tel Aviv’s genocide, sources told Middle East Eye (MEE) on 19 October.
“Egyptian construction firms surveyed sites in the ruins of the southern Gaza Strip for a housing project dubbed ‘Green Rafah’ … Egyptian engineers surveyed several areas in eastern Rafah under the supervision of the Israeli army and air force, who accompanied them throughout the process until they left,” sources said, including a senior military source in the North Sinai.
According to the report, “the proposed neighborhood would initially house around 20,000 Palestinians.”
It would be “supervised” by “a multinational force expected to be deployed in several parts of the Gaza Strip.”
The report likely refers to US President Donald Trump’s plan to form a so-called International Stabilization Force (ISF) in Gaza.
The report states that surveying of sites for “Green Rafah” is under full US backing. “Washington conveyed instructions on the Rafah operations through CIA director John Ratcliffe during his latest visit to Egypt,” says the senior military source cited by MEE. … continue

Egypt’s Civil Democratic Movement rejected any involvement of the Egyptian armed forces in a regional war on behalf of any side, insisting that Cairo make its decisions independently of foreign influence.
The movement said Monday that no outside party should dictate Egypt’s position, arguing that the country’s most important role lies in pursuing “wise mediation to establish peace.”
Turning to domestic affairs, the movement called on civilian opposition groups, its own members included, to begin preparing for the presidential election scheduled for 2030. The call follows President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi’s recent statement that his presidency will end in 2030 and that the matter of constitutional changes to alter that timeline is “completely settled.”
The statement comes as Egypt’s parliament has yet to take up a proposal to authorize the president to send troops abroad. Lawmakers adjourned an emergency session devoted to discussing support for Saudi Arabia, and deliberations were due to resume on Monday. The debate was postponed again on Monday, this time until October 26. … continue

The Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) has warned that any new act of aggression against Iran will be met with a more crushing response, fueling a “serious energy crisis” across the globe.
IRGC spokesman Brigadier General Hossein Mohebbi made the remarks in an interview with the Tehran Times on Monday as the United States escalates its brazen threats against the Islamic Republic amid its failure to make the nation surrender through illegal war and blockade.
Asked about the possibility of renewed military strikes, he said the United States waged the previous war with all its might, and it is certainly not in a position now to launch a new military assault that would yield any different outcome.
Most US bases in the region have been rendered inactive, he added, noting that US forces are exhausted and worn out, and that they have withdrawn hundreds of kilometers away from Iran.
“From a technical and military standpoint, the US lacks the capability to launch a new conflict. However, as [midterm] elections are approaching, the US may seek to manufacture some achievements,” Mohebbi said.
“We do not rule out any possibilities and are prepared to respond. This time, our response will be much more forceful. Even if the US action is limited, the world will face a serious energy crisis.” … Full article

Citizen Lab announced Monday that the iPhone of Vladan Djokic, rector of the University of Belgrade, was infected with Pegasus, the spyware built by the Israeli company NSO Group.
The finding landed less than a week before Serbia’s parliamentary election on Sunday, according to the Canadian research group and Reuters.
The Toronto-based lab also reported that Rade Bajic, a former prosecutor, received an Apple notification warning that his device had been targeted with mercenary spyware. Neither Bajic nor the researchers could say for certain whether his phone was actually breached.
Pegasus is marketed by NSO Group, an Israeli firm that says it supplies its tools only to government clients. … continue

France’s fuel shortages persisted Monday, with roughly 14 percent of the country’s service stations reporting at least one product out of stock and hundreds completely dry, as diesel prices hovered near multi-year highs and President Emmanuel Macron began a Gulf tour aimed at securing additional supplies.
Official data from the Economy Ministry showed 14 percent of stations nationwide facing shortages of diesel or gasoline as of 9 a.m. Monday, up from 10 percent on Saturday.
Independent trackers drawing on the same government feed reported more than 1,600 stations with at least one temporary shortage and several hundred that had run completely out of the fuels they normally sell. Diesel was among the products affected, with median prices around €2.35–€2.36 per liter. … continue

European Union countries do not know where to find an additional 70 billion euros ($78.4 billion) to aid Ukraine in 2027 after Vladimir Zelensky asked for that at the recent EU summit, an Italian newspaper reported on Monday, citing an unnamed EU official.
“We do not know where we can get it,” the official told the newspaper.
The EU has already agreed to provide Ukraine with a 90-billion-euro loan for 2026-2027. Of that amount, 60 billion euros are earmarked for military spending and 30 billion euros for budget support.
Hungary, Slovakia, and the Czech Republic have already stated that they will not participate in providing the new loan. Notably, they also did not join the 90-billion-euro loan, though they did not stand in the way of its disbursement.
The situation is complicated by the fact that EU allies, including the United Kingdom, have failed to fulfill their commitments to provide the full amount of aid, La Repubblica reported. Only Norway has so far kept its pledge
European Commission President Ursula von der Leyen acknowledged on Friday that Ukraine’s financial needs would continue to grow for as long as the conflict continues, and called on other international partners to increase their assistance to Kiev.

Most Italians oppose aid to Ukraine in the conflict with Russia, Defense Minister Guido Crosetto has said, as the country grapples with cost-of-living protests.
“We are fully aware that the majority of our public opinion, also influenced from abroad, is opposed to aiding Ukraine,” he told the BBC in an interview published on Saturday.
“It is difficult to explain that you have to help a nation resist and that helping it resist does not mean that you are opposed to peace.”
He nevertheless argued that Italy should continue to support Kiev, while acknowledging public anger over rising energy prices linked to the sanctions on Russia. He went on to claim that ‘Russian disinformation’ is fueling discontent.
“We cannot give in to public opinion when we believe that public opinion is wrong,” Crosetto said, adding that “it is difficult to explain that, at this moment, we cannot give Russia any gift.”
An Eumetra poll conducted last month found that 61% of Italians opposed supplying weapons to Ukraine, while 20% supported it and 18% expressed no opinion. … Full article

How Elderberry Extract Compares With Pharmaceutical Influenza Treatments on Effectiveness, Recovery Time, and Risks
By Dr Mark Trozzi MD | October 13, 2026
For years, the conventional response to influenza has centred on vaccination and pharmaceutical antiviral drugs. Yet the results and assured safety have often fallen far short of the claims made by the dinosaur media and old-world institutions. As we have previously reported, the 2025 Cleveland Clinic analysis calculated −26.9% effectiveness for the influenza vaccine, meaning vaccination was associated with a higher—not lower—risk of influenza.
Now they are trying to push new mFlusiva mRNA influenza “vaccines,” which have essentially zero efficacy and share the risks and dangers associated with mRNA technology that we have been exposing for years in the COVID “vaccines.” Meanwhile, another pharmaceutical product, Tamiflu, has long been promoted as a treatment for influenza while failing to live up to the assurances.
These conventional pharmaceutical interventions continue to prove ineffective at best, and dangerous at worst. However, studies of standardized elderberry extract point to a striking natural alternative, with symptom improvements measured in days rather than hours and far fewer reported risks. … continue

Iranian Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi dared US President Donald Trump to attack Iran again on Sunday, October 18, writing that the last time Washington wanted to “finish the job,” Iran “emerged even stronger.”
He warned that Tehran has unfinished jobs of its own and said that Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is pushing the United States into another war to avoid a prison sentence.
His post came hours after Trump said the US could “soon finish the job” against Iran unless it changes course, in a Truth Social message giving Netanyahu his “complete and total endorsement” ahead of “Israel’s” October 27 election.
Trump called Netanyahu a “Great Warrior Prime Minister” and wrote that Iran had been “systematically destroyed” militarily and financially. He said that if “Israel” elects any leader other than Netanyahu, America will have to do the work itself, which he said he is not inclined to do.
Netanyahu released a video thanking Trump. … Full article

Imprisoned Palestinian journalist Bushra al-Tawil, 33, is facing repeated beatings and exposure to gas sprayed inside her solitary confinement cell at Ohalei Oz Prison in Beersheba, amid deteriorating health conditions and deprivation of basic necessities. Israeli prison authorities have also renewed her administrative detention for an additional four months.
In a statement on Sunday, the Palestinian Prisoners’ Society (PPS) said information obtained following a recent visit to al-Tawil revealed that she has been held in solitary confinement for approximately 50 days.
According to the PPS, Israeli prison guards have repeatedly raided her cell, subjecting her to physical assaults and verbal abuse. The most recent attack occurred two days before the visit. She is also kept under constant camera surveillance. … Full article

Four fractured vertebrae, a broken rib, repeated kicks, and stolen equipment. Yet when US Secretary of State Marco Rubio addressed the Israeli settler attack on American photojournalist Heidi Levine in the occupied West Bank, Washington described the images as “disturbing” and warned against further “friction”.
A day later, Israeli settlers assaulted European diplomats accompanying Palestinian farmers during the olive harvest, attacking a French mayor and damaging a diplomatic vehicle.
The incidents exposed the contrast between the violence on the ground and the diplomatic language used to address it. While Western officials expressed concern over the attacks, Palestinians continued to face settler assaults threatening their lives, land, and livelihoods.
The disparity raises questions about the significance of condemnation when it is not accompanied by measures capable of ensuring accountability.
Rubio’s remarks followed Friday’s attack on Levine, who was covering Palestinian farmers harvesting olives near Abu Falah, northeast of Ramallah.
According to reports, Israeli settlers attacked farmers, burned olive trees, and hurled stones. Levine, wearing protective clothing clearly identifying her as a journalist, was knocked to the ground, repeatedly beaten, and robbed of her equipment.
She described being kicked for approximately ten minutes while attempting to protect her belongings before being hospitalized with serious injuries.
Despite the brutality, Rubio’s response emphasized Washington’s concern rather than announcing consequences for those responsible.
“We’re very disturbed by those images and what we’re seeing,” he told reporters Saturday.
“We’ve asked the Israelis and continue to ask them to crack down on that stuff.”
The phrase “that stuff” reduces repeated physical assaults and attacks on Palestinian agricultural land to a vague category of misconduct, while “disturbed” expresses disapproval without specifying accountability measures.
Rubio also emphasized that US President Donald Trump wanted to prevent further “friction”.
“The president’s been very clear. He said this repeatedly. He does not want to see friction or anything, a crisis going on in the West Bank.”
The wording notably downplays the violence in the West Bank by framing it as “friction” or “a crisis”, rather than directly acknowledging the attacks, killings, and destruction affecting Palestinians. The term “friction” suggests a relatively minor or mutual disagreement, obscuring the realities of military operations and settler violence, while “anything” further dilutes the seriousness of the situation.
By focusing on the president’s desire to avoid a crisis, the statement emphasizes political stability and the risk of escalation rather than the underlying violence, its perpetrators, or its impact on Palestinians. … Full article

GAZA – Five Palestinian civilians, including two children, were martyred in the Gaza Strip on Sunday, four in fresh Israeli attacks and another who succumbed to gunshot wounds sustained earlier.
The Palestinian Information Center reporter said that a child identified as Tamer Shadi was killed and two other people were injured by Israeli gunfire in the Tal al-Dahab area, northwest of Beit Lahia in northern Gaza.
A young man was also pronounced dead after succumbing to bullet injuries sustained two days ago in Beit Lahia.
Meanwhile, Israeli forces opened fire on a tent camp for displaced families in northern Gaza’s al-Atatira area, injuring several civilians, including one critically.
In Gaza City, a drone strike killed a citizen and injured several others in the ash-Shalihat area.
Another drone strike wounded some citizens, one of them critically, near an ambulance site in Gaza City’s al-Rimal neighborhood.
In southern Gaza, a young woman called Wijdan Sharab was shot and killed by Israeli forces on as-Sikka Street, east of Khan Yunis.
Israeli forces also opened fire towards Nasser Hospital in the west of Khan Yunis, injuring a citizen.
Earlier in the morning, six-year-old Misk al-Dallu was killed after Israeli forces opened fire towards tents sheltering displaced families in al-Maghazi refugee camp in central Gaza.
Two fishermen were injured after an Israeli quadcopter dropped a bomb on them while they were working off the coast of ash-Shati refugee camp, west of Gaza City.
Another citizen was critically injured by Israeli gunfire in the east of al-Masdar village in central Gaza.
Additionally, widespread military activity, including shooting incidents, artillery shelling, drone overflights, and demolitions, was reported in other areas of Gaza today.

Iran’s foreign minister has denounced Israel’s warmongering in West Asia, saying insecurity in the region emanates from the regime’s occupation and land theft policies.
Abbas Araghchi made the remarks on Saturday during a meeting with Iraqi Prime Minister Ali Falih Al-Zaidi on the sidelines of the 52nd Session of the Council of Foreign Ministers of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation (OIC) in Baghdad.
“The root cause of insecurity in West Asia is Israel’s occupation and expansionist policies. Over the past three years in particular, alongside genocide in Palestine, Israel has launched military aggressions against Lebanon, Syria, and Iran, thereby jeopardizing peace and security worldwide,” Araghchi said.
He also emphasized Iran’s commitment to using diplomacy in a bid to prevent further escalation of insecurity.
However, he added, the United States has repeatedly obstructed diplomatic efforts by reneging on its commitments and resorting to force, undermining the security of international commercial shipping.
Iran has been attacked twice in the midst of talks over its peaceful nuclear program.
The US and the Israeli regime waged their first illegal war against Iran, which lasted 12 days, in June 2025. Their second aggression began on February 28, 2026, and came to a halt in early April after 40 days.
In both wars, Iran’s resistance and successful retaliatory operations forced the aggressors to accept a ceasefire.
Iran has also maintained a tight grip on the Strait of Hormuz since the early days of the second imposed war amid the US’s acts of mischief in the region.
Additionally during the meeting, Araghchi and Zaidi discussed the latest regional developments, including the Saudi Arabia-Yemen conflict, as well as ways to help end the naval blockade of Yemen and de-escalate tensions. … Full article

Yemen’s Ansarullah spokesperson and chief negotiator has rejected Saudi claims that Sana’a refused to meet Saudi representatives in Oman, saying Riyadh failed to act on Yemeni proposals to lift the blockade and address humanitarian issues.
Mohammed Abdulsalam said on Sunday that Saudi Arabia had failed to honor its commitments toward Yemen, adding that its attack on Sana’a International Airport in July had brought the truce and de-escalation efforts to an end.
Earlier this week, Saudi Arabia’s deputy minister for public diplomacy at the Foreign Ministry accused Sana’a of refusing to meet Saudi representatives in Muscat, Oman, at the beginning of the escalation in July.
“We asked them to meet in Muscat, Oman, and they refused,” the official said.

Yemen has condemned the international community’s silence on Saudi Arabia’s ongoing aggression and blockade, saying it emboldens Riyadh to continue its atrocities.

The ministry denounced Saudi strikes on civilians and non-military installations as a flagrant violation of international humanitarian law, particularly the Fourth Geneva Convention of 1949 and Additional Protocol I of 1977.
In the latest attack, a series of Saudi airstrikes targeted a residential neighborhood in the Maqbanah district of Yemen’s southwestern Ta’izz province, killing nine civilians, including a woman and a girl, and injuring 16 others. … continue

The two-week exchange of fire between the United States and Iran, triggered by Washington’s attempt to force open an illegal southern corridor through the Strait of Hormuz, represented the most consequential direct military confrontation between them since the 40-day war.
The Iranian response to the unprovoked and illegal American aggression was not a chaotic escalation but a methodical, layered military campaign that drew on years of doctrinal development, weapons investment, and operational planning.
The efforts of the Islamic Republic’s armed forces, spearheaded by the Islamic Revolution Guards Corps (IRGC) aerospace and naval branches, executed a decisive and swift response.
What unfolded was a layered operation with nine distinct but interlocking lines of effort. Each line reinforced the others. Infrastructure degradation reduced American operational tempo; area denial forced repositioning that compounded the effects of that degradation; extended-range precision strikes demonstrated that repositioning offered no sanctuary; ISR attrition blinded American targeting systems; terrorist suppression closed the land flank, while strikes on utility infrastructure imposed costs on host nations and denied services to American bases.
One can employ the open-source reporting, satellite imagery, and the observable pattern of strikes to examine each dimension of Iran’s military response in detail, and construct a coherent operational picture. It is getting exceedingly clear that the ceasefire period has very likely translated to a window for reconstitution and preparation in Iranian strategic calculus. … continue

Iran has obtained the technology behind a US-made 14-ton GBU bomb and now possesses samples of the weapon, Brigadier General Mohammad Reza Naqdi, senior advisor to the Commander-in-Chief of the Islamic Revolution Guard Corps (IRGC), stated.
Speaking during the “Fedayeen for Iran” military exercise in Sari, Naqdi said Iranian forces acquired some of the bombs after they failed to detonate during the 12-day war, allowing local forces to seize them and study their technology.
“We should recall that during the 12-day war, 14-ton bombs were dropped,” Naqdi said, adding that “the failure of some of the 14-ton bombs to explode enabled the local forces to seize them.”
“Today, Iran possesses samples of these bombs alongside the manufacturing country,” he asserted, adding that Iranian forces have analyzed all the technologies associated with the US 14-ton bomb and now possess its technology in full. … continue

Over seventy years ago, the US took control of South Korea’s military. To this day, it still controls it.
Why?
This confounds every notion of state sovereignty: a supposedly sovereign country — South Korea — has its own military subjugated under US control.
Opcon (operational control) of one nation’s army by another country is usually temporary, usually during wartime among allies.
In Korea, it has lasted over 76 years.
South Korea has asked for opcon back, repeatedly. It has been three decades since South Korea first made the demand.

Algeria recorded 17 new hydrocarbon discoveries in the first nine months of 2026, while state revenue from hydrocarbon exports reached $37.5 billion by the end of September, Hydrocarbons Minister Mohamed Arkab announced Saturday.
Speaking before parliament’s Finance and Budget Committee during discussions on the 2027 Finance Bill, Arkab said preliminary hydrocarbon production stood at approximately 128 million tonnes of oil equivalent, adding that exploration and production activities continued to yield new results.
Arkab attributed part of the export revenue performance to a 37% increase in the average price of Algerian crude oil compared with the same period in 2025. Sonatrach, the state-owned energy company, invested more than $6 billion by the end of September 2026, up 21% from $5.3 billion during the corresponding period last year, according to Algerian Radio.
The minister also reported that the hydrocarbon sector employed approximately 193,000 people at the end of the first half of 2026. Algeria is seeking to expand its oil and gas production capacity through further exploration and investment in the sector.
President Abdelmadjid Tebboune previously announced that more than 141 exploration and production wells had been completed in the energy sector since he took office in December 2019.
The government’s plan targets annual growth of 2% in preliminary hydrocarbon production between 2023 and 2027, with output expected to reach approximately 209 million tonnes of oil equivalent by 2027. … Full article

A French lawyer says the ongoing student protests in France reflect a deeper crisis of confidence among young people, as demonstrations increasingly converge with wider public anger over the simmering cost of living crisis in the country. Speaking to the Press TV website, lawyer and international consultant Arnaud Develay said the French youth have lost their vision for the future amid the failure of the Emmanuel Macron government.
“The fundamental grievances underpinning the current protests relate to the ever-increasing cuts in the education budget. This in turn has morphed into a wider range of demands which, taken together, express a complete distrust of the government on its ability to provide the youth with reasons to adhere to any kind of vision for the future,” Develay said. […]
He also linked young people’s frustration to the economic consequences of the COVID-19 period and subsequent government spending. He said young people had been asked to sacrifice two years of their lives between 2020 and 2022, only to see public debt rise sharply, which he attributed to spending on experimental vaccines and the transfer of 70 billion euros to the “corrupt regime in Kiev.”
Beyond education, Develay identified housing, employment and demographic changes as major structural sources of discontent among French youth.
“The problem is structural. France is a country where all the real estate is mostly in the hands of people born in the postwar period. Speculation has been out of control for the better part of the last 40 years while construction has lagged behind,” he said.
The lawyer added that France’s population had increased by 20% over the same period, while de-industrialization had contributed to persistent unemployment. Develay also noted that mass immigration had been used as a policy tool to depress wages and weaken working-class consciousness. The combined effect, he said, was “a neoliberal jungle where young people are deprived of the opportunities enjoyed by their parents and grandparents.”
The cost-of-living crisis has further widened the protests’ appeal. Rising housing, food, transport and energy costs have intensified concerns about whether young people can secure an independent and financially stable future.
The unrest has also acquired a broader political dimension. On Saturday, protests against high prices took place in Paris and other French cities, with a brutal police crackdown and hundreds of arrests. Tens of thousands marched through parts of the capital, while demonstrations in Lyon, Marseille and Lille included confrontations with heavily armed police. More than 130 people were arrested in Paris.
The demonstrations brought together overlapping grievances over purchasing power, inequality and police conduct. The Yellow Vest movement, which emerged in 2018 over planned fuel tax increases, has called for joint demonstrations involving its supporters and young people. The wider mobilization suggests that anger over the education crisis is increasingly intersecting with discontent among other sections of French society.
For Develay, this reflects a crisis extending well beyond France’s borders. “Neoliberalism has wreaked havoc in the West. The elites have essentially abandoned their citizens in pursuit of wealth on the world markets,” he told the Press TV website.
While the immediate triggers vary between countries, Develay said that the underlying pressures are similar. “Domestically, the triggering might differ from country to country, but essentially the trends are the same everywhere.”
The spread of student protests to neighboring European countries, including Belgium, has added to questions about whether France’s unrest could form part of a broader European movement driven by shared economic and educational pressures. … Full article

J.D. Vance is approaching the halfway point of his term as vice president in an administration that has committed the United States to wars in locations from Ukraine to Venezuela to Somalia to Iran and beyond. All the while, the administration has threatened sending the military into other places across the world including Mexico, Greenland, and Cuba. In short, this presidential administration is fully committed to a warmongering agenda.
Over his 14 years as a United States House of Representatives member, Mike Rogers similarly established his reputation as a committed advocate for US warmongering across the world. This Michigan Republican and the presidential administration are two peas in a pod when it comes to supporting an aggressive empire.
President Donald Trump in the 2024 presidential campaign portrayed himself as the peace candidate in the race, a tactic that may have brought him the votes needed to obtain a close electoral victory. But, once elected, Trump turned on a dime, becoming the war president who delivers turmoil, destruction, and death. Through this, Vance has stood by Trump in support.
Given this context, it seems almost unimaginable that Vance would stump in Michigan for electing Rogers to the US Senate by asserting that Vance and Rogers are supporters of peace. Yet, that is what Vance did in a Monroe, Michigan speech on Thursday. With the “peace candidate” ploy having worked for Trump in the 2024 presidential election, Vance audaciously gave it a try in the Michigan speech despite it being divorced from reality. … continue

Iran could restore normal shipping through the Strait of Hormuz within a week if Washington accepts a peace plan proposed by Tehran last month, Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi has said. The terms were previously rejected by US President Donald Trump.
The Islamic Republic remains “committed to safe and secure navigation in the Strait of Hormuz,” Araghchi told a ministerial meeting of the Organization of Islamic Cooperation on Saturday, blaming disruptions to shipping through the key waterway on the “aggressive actions” of the US and Israel.
”Through Qatar, we have conveyed a concrete seven-day plan: if the necessary conditions are met, the Strait can be reopened and normal maritime passage restored within seven days,” the minister said. “The choice now rests with the United States.”
“This issue will not be resolved on the battlefield. Peace cannot be built through threats of annihilation,” Araghchi added.
Tehran has offered to restore navigation through the crucial oil shipping route in exchange for Washington lifting its naval blockade, easing restrictions on Iranian oil exports and releasing some frozen Iranian assets. Iran is also demanding an end to hostilities “on all fronts,” including Israel’s military operations in Gaza and Lebanon. … Full article

Israeli settlers attacked a European diplomatic delegation in the occupied West Bank on Saturday, assaulting a French mayor and damaging diplomatic vehicles as the visitors accompanied Palestinians during the olive harvest near Ramallah.
The assault took place in the Palestinian village of Taybeh, where representatives from France, Belgium, and Poland, including the French consul in occupied al-Quds, were visiting amid escalating settler violence targeting Palestinian farmers and their agricultural lands.
Among those assaulted was Bernard Baudoux, the 78-year-old mayor of the French municipality of Aulnoye-Aymeries, who was beaten by Israeli settlers, according to AFP, citing witnesses and diplomatic sources.
Footage obtained by the news agency showed Baudoux collapsed against a vehicle following the attack. Two diplomats and a local resident confirmed his identity, while one diplomatic source indicated that his injuries did not appear life-threatening.
According to Israeli Army Radio, approximately seven masked settlers arrived on all-terrain vehicles, surrounded the diplomatic convoy, and demanded identification documents from those inside.
The attackers, armed with clubs and stones, targeted the vehicles, smashing a window of a car belonging to the Belgian consulate.
Videos circulated following the assault showed masked settlers approaching the delegation with clubs, while additional footage documented damage to the diplomatic vehicles. … Full article

Israeli forces carried out a series of invasions across the occupied West Bank, Saturday, abducting at least nine named Palestinians and several others, shooting a young man near Qabatia, and assaulting a resident in Al-Yamun. Soldiers also broke into and searched homes and closed roads. Separately, illegal paramilitary Israeli colonizers shot a young man and injured two other Palestinians with pepper spray in Masafer Yatta.
In Jenin governorate, in the northern occupied West Bank, soldiers invaded Al-Yamun, west of Jenin city, broke into several homes, and abducted Ali As-Sammar, Assem Abu Hassan, and Jihad Freihat.
The Palestinian Red Crescent Society said its medics treated a Palestinian who was assaulted by soldiers during the invasion.
Also in Jenin governorate, Israeli soldiers opened fire on a vehicle near the Asfour junction, injuring a young man and abducting three young men from Qabatia, south of Jenin. The Palestinian Prisoners’ Society identified the abducted men as Mohammad Faisal Zakarna, Majd Hani Zakarna, and Abdullah Ahmad Zakarna.

Israeli occupation forces carried out artillery attacks and explosions across several towns in Southern Lebanon on Saturday, in continued violations of the non-Israeli-implemented ceasefire agreement, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent in the region.
The correspondent reported that Israeli artillery targeted the outskirts of Zawtar al-Sharqiya in the Nabatieh district, while a separate artillery attack struck the town of al-Mansouri in the Tyre district.
Israeli occupation forces also carried out explosions in the vicinity of Kounine-Beit Yahoun in the Bint Jbeil district and in the town of Yahmar al-Shaqif in the Nabatieh district.
Meanwhile, Lebanon’s National News Agency (NNA) reported that Israeli occupation forces conducted an intensive sweeping operation near the chalets area in the southern town of Khiam.
The latest attacks followed a series of Israeli violations overnight Friday, during which occupation forces shelled several areas and carried out additional explosions in Southern Lebanon.
According to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent, Israeli artillery targeted the town of Mayfadoun after earlier shelling the area between Hadatha and Haris.
The NNA also reported that Israeli occupation forces carried out a powerful explosion east of Khiam around midnight. … Full article

Iran’s ambassador and chargé d’affaires to the UN has stressed that any arrangements for the Gaza Strip’s future must fully respect Palestinian rights and self-determination, denouncing the United States and the Israeli regime for the current situation affecting the Strait of Hormuz.
Gholamhossein Darzi made the remarks on Friday, addressing a UN Security Council meeting on the situation in West Asia, including the Palestinian question.
He noted that Gaza remained devastated and continued to be subject to military aggression, despite the announcement of a ceasefire last year.
The ceasefire was announced last October as part of a United States-proposed plan to bring an end to two years of Israeli genocide, supposedly.
The Israeli regime has, however, killed more than 1,400 Palestinians during attacks across the territory ever since, in addition to the tens of thousands it had already killed throughout the genocide that began on October 7, 2023. … continue

Saudi warplanes carried out a series of airstrikes on Saada Governorate on Saturday, including two strikes east of Saada city and six targeting Sahar district, Saba news agency reported, citing a local source.
The source said Saudi warplanes had earlier launched another airstrike on Maran district.
This comes as Saudi attacks on Saada Governorate and its border areas have escalated in recent hours, according to Al Mayadeen’s correspondent.
In Taiz Governorate, Saudi warplanes carried out three additional airstrikes on the areas of al-Da’a and al-Bunaya in the al-Masahine subdistrict of al-Shamayatayn district, the source added. Furthermore, Saudi shelling targeted a health center in the governorate, Al Mayadeen’s correspondent reported.
The death and injury toll from Saudi airstrikes targeting civilian homes in the villages of al-Ar and Barza, in the Qaa al-Haql area of Dhoran Anis district in Dhamar Governorate, has risen to 20, with internationally banned cluster munitions used in the aggression.
Three children were killed, while 17 people were injured, including seven children and three women. One of the injured women was pregnant and suffered a miscarriage as a result of the attack.
The cluster munitions used in the Saudi attack damaged three homes and destroyed a farmer’s solar power system. Several livestock were also killed or injured.
In a similar context, missile strikes targeted Aden International Airport in southern Yemen on Friday, Reuters reported. … Full article

On 17 October, Egyptian President Abdel Fattah el-Sisi called for an emergency parliamentary session to authorize possible military action in support of Saudi Arabia in its war against Yemen.
“We will take any action Saudi Arabia requests to defend its security and sovereignty,” Sisi said at a graduation ceremony at the Egyptian Military Academy and military colleges on Saturday.
“I call on parliament to convene an emergency session to grant us authorization for such action if we are asked to undertake it,” he added.
Sisi said Egypt was not seeking to enter a war or launch attacks against another country, and that the proposed measures would be strictly defensive. … Full article
Iran has warned that further US aggression could put American data centers, AI facilities, and undersea cables across West Asia at risk
By Ivan Kesic – Press TV – October 17, 2026
On October 10, 2026, Major General Mohsen Rezaei, Secretary of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, issued a clear and categorical warning that could reshape strategic calculations across the West Asia region.
In an exclusive interview with Press TV, Rezaei stated that if Washington launched another act of aggression against Iran, US assets across the region – including data centers, artificial intelligence facilities, and undersea cables – could become potential targets. He described these assets as the pulse of the American economy in the region where it maintains abnormally heavy military presence, putting their value at more than $2 trillion.
The remarks, which came amid continued US warmongering, mark a significant expansion of Iran’s deterrence posture, extending its reach beyond conventional military targets to encompass the digital infrastructure underpinning the Persian Gulf’s economic transformation.
Understanding the stakes requires examining the critical infrastructure potentially at risk, the American companies deeply involved in building and operating it, the enormous American investments flowing into the region, and the far-reaching economic consequences that any disruption to these interconnected systems could trigger.
The top Iranian security official’s remarks, delivered during an exclusive interview broadcast on Press TV, signaled a carefully calculated escalation in Iran’s strategic messaging.
General Rezaei stated that the United States maintains highly valuable assets in the UAE and around the Strait of Hormuz, adding that Iran had not yet designated these assets as targets.
However, he warned that if the US attacks Iran again, many of these undersea cables, data centers, artificial intelligence facilities, and numerous other sites would be destroyed.
The assessment that this infrastructure is worth more than $2 trillion underscores its central role in the United States’ military and economic presence across West Asia. […]
The digital infrastructure at risk extends beneath the waters of the Strait of Hormuz, where at least five major submarine fiber-optic cable systems carry the overwhelming majority of intercontinental internet traffic between Asia, the Persian Gulf, and Europe. These cables—including the FALCON system, the Persian Gulf Bridge International network, and the TGN-Gulf system—form the backbone of the region’s connectivity to global networks.
The legal status of these cables is unambiguous: the Strait of Hormuz at its narrowest point measures approximately twenty-one nautical miles in width, and the combined territorial seas of Iran and Oman, each extending twelve nautical miles, overlap completely, leaving no high seas whatsoever.
Under international maritime law, sovereignty over the seabed and subsoil within these territorial waters belongs exclusively to the coastal states, and the right of passage for vessels does not extend to the laying of fixed infrastructure such as internet cables.
Iran’s earlier assertion of sovereign rights over this infrastructure, including permit requirements, transit fees, and exclusive control over cable maintenance and repair, represents a legal position grounded in the undisputed geometry of the strait.
The practical implication is that the companies whose cables transit Iranian territorial waters must operate within the framework established by the Islamic Republic, a reality that Western analysts have increasingly acknowledged. … Full article

The Strait of Hormuz will reopen once the United States leaves the region, while Iran will ensure the withdrawal of US forces if Washington refuses to leave, Iranian Army spokesman Brigadier General Mohammad Akraminia said on Friday.
“If the US leaves the region, the Strait of Hormuz will reopen, collective security with regional countries will be established and the world economy will recover. If they do not leave the region, we will secure their departure,” Akraminia wrote on X. […]
In a related development, the Iranian Army announced on Thursday that an oil tanker had caught fire inside a restricted maritime zone east of the Strait of Hormuz after attempting to cross the area without authorization.
According to the army, the vessel had disabled its tracking systems while attempting to navigate through the prohibited zone in the Sea of Oman. […]
The Iranian Army Navy had reported a similar incident two days earlier, announcing that an oil tanker sustained damage and caught fire after deactivating its tracking systems while attempting to enter the restricted zone east of the strait. – Full article
Press TV – October 17, 2026
Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez has said the US-Israeli war on Iran has cost Europeans more than €100bn.
In a message posted on X on Friday, accompanied by a video statement, Sanchez said ordinary people were bearing the economic burden of the unwarranted war on Iran.
“Those of us who raised our voices against the war were right when we said NO to war,” he wrote, adding, “We knew ordinary people would end up paying the bill.”
Speaking at a news conference following the European Council summit in Brussels on Friday, Sanchez said opponents of the war had been proved right “not only from the standpoint of international law and respect for human rights, but also because of the economic and social consequences our fellow citizens are once again experiencing.”
“Ultimately, ordinary people end up paying for it, and unfortunately that is already being felt,” he emphasized.
Sanchez pointed out that rising fuel costs at the filling station is adding to the cost of living for ordinary people. … Full article
OPCW Inspector Ian Henderson responds regarding alleged newly-found, un-declared chemical weapons.

BEIRUT – The number of books destroyed by Israeli bombings of libraries, as well as religious and cultural institutions since October 2023, has exceeded 3 million copies, founder and coordinator of the National Network for the Protection of Libraries, Archives, and Cultural Heritage in Lebanon Hadi Bekdash told Sputnik on Saturday.
“There are reports of the burning of more than 700,000 books belonging to Lebanese and Arab publishers, as well as more than 3 million books from homes, libraries, religious centers, family collections, researchers’ libraries, and universities, publishers, cultural institutions, and private collections since 2023,” Bekdash said.
In 2026, practically confirmed information appeared about the destruction of dozens of public and hundreds of private libraries during the conflict with Israel, he added.
These data do not reflect the full scale of losses, since Lebanon still does not have a unified national database of destroyed libraries, archives, and book collections, the coordinator said.
Bekdash added that it will be possible to finally assess the damage only after conducting a nationwide inventory of lost and damaged collections.
A national campaign, A Million Books for Lebanon, is currently underway in the country, aimed at restoring destroyed and damaged libraries.

The UN should resist pressure from Kiev’s Western backers and finally address the issue of widespread abuse of captured Russian servicemen in Ukrainian secret prisons, Russian Ambassador-at-Large Rodion Miroshnik has said.
During a conversation with the chairman of the UN Committee Against Torture Claude Heller on Thursday, Miroshnik said that Moscow is aware of a whole network of such detention facilities, operating in Ukraine’s Kharkov, Dnepropetrovsk, and Sumy Regions as well as in the country’s capital, Kiev.
The Russian servicemen are “going through hell” in so-called “transit prisons,” which are set up at deployment points of Ukrainian military units and nationalist battalions, he said.
“The thugs, who hide their faces behind masks… and address each other only by their call signs, subject the captured Russian troops to inhuman abuse. Waterboarding, electrocuting, baiting with dogs and amputations performed without anesthesia are just a few examples of the techniques systematically employed by the Ukrainian tormentors,” the envoy, who is charged with documenting Kiev’s war crimes, stressed.
According to Miroshnik, captured troops are usually sent to those facilities in the early stages of their imprisonment, where they are held in cages, pits, and stone dungeons. … continue
