WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The
500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from
Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration
occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February,
the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and
pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April.
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main
Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes
the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of
birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake
Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel)
are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species:
Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors,
and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April.
The
500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late
August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when
the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and
November.
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key
Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and
steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of
storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in
the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the
spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia.

Trump threatens to ‘obliterate’ Iran’s
power plants if Strait of Hormuz remains shut-Tehran says it will hit
US and Israeli energy sites in response, renews fire at central and
southern Israel, after US president gives 48-hour deadline to reopen key
oil trade artery By Jacob Magid and Agencies Today, 11:19 am-MAR 22,26
US
President Donald Trump threatened Saturday to “obliterate” Iran’s power
plants if the Islamic Republic didn’t open the Strait of Hormuz within
48 hours, drawing an Iranian vow to redouble strikes on US and Israeli
energy installations and other infrastructure.Iran renewed missile fire
on central and southern Israel the next morning, hours after attacks
apparently targeting an Israeli nuclear research station hit the nearby
cities of Dimona and Arad, injuring scores of people.Writing on his
Truth Social platform, Trump demanded that Iran stop blocking the key
Persian Gulf strait, putting a chokehold on global energy supplies.“If
Iran doesn’t FULLY OPEN, WITHOUT THREAT, the Strait of Hormuz, within 48
HOURS from this exact point in time, the United States of America will
hit and obliterate their various POWER PLANTS, STARTING WITH THE BIGGEST
ONE FIRST!” he wrote.He may have meant the Bushehr nuclear power plant,
Iran’s biggest, which was already hit last week, or Damavand, a natural
gas plant near Tehran, Iran’s capital.So far in this war, the US has
refrained from targeting Iran’s energy sites amid fears of such a step’s
impact on the global economy.Responding to Trump’s ultimatum, Iran’s
military renewed its threats against US-owned energy infrastructure in
the region, amid escalating attacks on oil and natural gas sites in
recent days.“If Iran’s fuel and energy infrastructure is violated by the
enemy, all energy, information technology and desalination
infrastructure belonging to the US and the [Zionist] regime in the
region will be targeted,” said the Iranian military’s operational
command Khatam Al-Anbiya in a statement carried by the semi-official
Fars news agency.Shortly after the Iranian military responded to Trump’s
threats, the regime’s representative to the International Maritime
Organization claimed that the Strait of Hormuz in fact remains open,
with only shipping vessels linked to “Iran’s enemies” being
barred.“Diplomacy remains Iran’s priority. However, a complete cessation
of aggression as well as mutual trust and confidence are more
important,” said Ali Mousavi to the UN maritime agency, calling Israeli
and US attacks against Iran the “root of current situation in Strait of
Hormuz.”The Strait of Hormuz is a key artery for the world’s oil supply,
and its closure has sent oil and gas prices soaring.One-fifth of the
world’s oil supply normally flows through the narrow waterway, but Iran
effectively shut the passage after the US and Israel launched their
first wave of strikes on February 28, kicking off the war.The US and
Israel have offered shifting rationales for the war, from hoping to
foment an uprising that topples Iran’s leadership to eliminating its
nuclear and missile programs and its support for armed proxies. There
have been no signs of an uprising, while internet restrictions limit
information from Iran.The war’s effects have been felt beyond the Middle
East, raising food and fuel prices around the world.Attacks on nuclear
sites-Iran continued firing missiles at Israel Sunday morning, launching
at least four small volleys that triggered alarms in central and
southern Israel as well as Jerusalem.No injuries were reported in the
attacks, though fragments from intercepted missiles were reported
impacting in some areas.The Health Ministry said Sunday that 303 people
had required hospitalization over the past 24 hours due to attacks
emanating from Iran or its proxy Hezbollah in Lebanon.Most of those
injuries were caused when missiles hit the cities of Dimona and Arad
Saturday night, as air defenses failed to intercept at least two Iranian
ballistic missiles apparently targeting Israel’s main nuclear research
center in the Negev desert.Soroka Medical Center in Beersheba said 175
people were injured in the attacks, 36 of whom remain hospitalized
Sunday morning. Eleven people were seriously hurt, including children
aged 5 and 12, health officials said.Iran called the attacks a
“response” to an earlier strike on Tehran’s Natanz nuclear enrichment
site, though Israel denied responsibility for this. The Iranian
judiciary’s official news agency, Mizan, said there was no leakage at
Natanz.The Pentagon declined to comment on the strike on the site, which
was also hit in the first week of the war and in the 12-day war last
June. Russian Foreign Ministry spokesperson Maria Zakharova said such
strikes posed a “real risk of catastrophic disaster throughout the
Middle East.”Strikes in Gulf-An Iranian missile last week caused damage
at Israel’s largest refinery in Haifa, in apparent response to an attack
on the South Pars gas field Iran shares with Qatar.Iran’s forces have
also been targeting energy sites throughout the region, particularly in
Gulf states, which are now starting to ramp up diplomatic pressure on
the regime.The strikes have killed at least a dozen civilians in the
Gulf, mostly migrant workers.Fresh strikes on the United Arab Emirates
and Saudi Arabia were reported as recently as Sunday morning, after the
countries’ respective defense ministries announced their forces were
responding to incoming Iranian aerial attacks.A spokesman for the
Emirati defense ministry said three drones had been intercepted and
destroyed in the country’s eastern region. In Saudi Arabia, one
ballistic missile was downed while two others fell in uninhabited areas,
according to their defense ministry.On Saturday night, Saudi Arabia
ordered its Iranian military attache and four embassy staff to leave,
citing repeated attacks on its territory.The monarchy was following the
example of Qatar, which ordered Iran’s military and security attaches,
along with their staff, to leave the country, after Tehran targeted its
massive Ras Laffan Industrial City in a strike.The attack on Ras Laffan,
the world’s largest liquefied natural gas facility, accounting for
roughly a fifth of global supply, heightened fears over long-lasting
damage to the natural gas market.That same day, an Iranian drone crashed
into Saudi Arabia’s Aramco-Exxon Samref refinery in Yanbu, located near
a Red Sea oil export terminal that the kingdom has been pushing as an
alternative to Hormuz.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.
Iran threatens Middle East infrastructure after Trump ultimatum.
Tehran,
March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026-Iran threatened on Sunday to attack key
infrastructure across the Middle East if US President Donald Trump
follows through on his vow to "obliterate" the Islamic republic's power
plants unless the Strait of Hormuz swiftly reopens.Iran's defiant
response came after its missiles slipped through air defences and struck
two towns in southern Israel including one housing a nuclear facility,
underscoring Tehran's continued ability to retaliate as the war entered
its fourth week.Trump ratcheted up pressure on Iran's leadership,
announcing a countdown over the Islamic republic's de facto blockade on
the crucial trade route.Trump wrote on Truth Social that the US would
"hit and obliterate" Iranian power plants "starting with the biggest one
first" if Tehran did not fully reopen the strait within 48 hours, or
23:44 GMT on Monday according to the time of his post.But Iran's
military operational command responded that if the country's facilities
were hit, "all energy, information technology and desalination
infrastructure belonging to the US" in the region would be
targeted.Early Sunday morning, AFP journalists in Jerusalem heard blasts
and air raid sirens as Iran launched a fresh barrage of missiles at
Israel.The alerts came hours after direct hits on the towns of Arad and
Dimona wounded more than 100 people, in one of the most destructive
attacks on Israel since the start of the war on February 28."There was a
'boom, boom!', my mother was screaming," 17-year-old Arad resident Ido
Franky told AFP near the impact site, where an AFP correspondent saw
three damaged buildings and firefighters reported a blaze."This was
terrifying... this town had never seen anything like this."- Nuclear
infrastructure -Israel launched a fresh wave of strikes on Iranian
capital Tehran on Sunday in response, while the Israeli military said it
was investigating how air defence systems had failed to intercept the
incoming missiles.Iran's attacks on Israel indicated that its arsenal
still poses a threat across the region, even after Trump and Israeli
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed to have decimated Tehran's
forces.Dimona hosts what is widely believed to be the Middle East's only
nuclear arsenal, although Israel has never admitted to possessing
nuclear weapons, insisting the site is for research.The missile fell
about five kilometres (three miles) from the nuclear facility, according
to rescuers.Iran said the strike on Dimona, which tore open residential
buildings and gouged craters into the ground, was in response to an
earlier attack on its nuclear site at Natanz.After the Natanz attack, UN
nuclear watchdog chief Rafael Grossi reiterated his call for "military
restraint to avoid any risk of a nuclear accident".The Natanz facility
hosts underground centrifuges used to enrich uranium for Iran's disputed
nuclear programme and sustained damage in the June 2025 war.Asked about
Natanz, the Israeli military said it was "not aware of a strike".-
Hormuz blockade -As concerns grow about the economic fallout from the
war, Trump has turned his attention to the blockaded Strait of Hormuz
which typically carries around a fifth of the world's crude oil and
liquefied natural gas.The standoff has rattled markets and sent fuel
prices soaring, with North Sea Brent crude now trading above $105 a
barrel, feeding fears about higher inflation and weaker global
growth.Trump has slammed NATO allies as "cowards" and urged them to
secure the strait.A total of 22 countries -- including the UK, France,
Italy, Germany, South Korea, Australia, the UAE and Bahrain -- said on
Saturday they were ready to contribute to efforts ensuring safe passage
in the vital waterway.As thousands more American Marines head to the
Middle East, US Central Command said bunker-busting bombs were dropped
on an underground Iranian coastal facility this week, degrading Iran's
ability to threaten freedom of navigation in the strategic waterway.-
Attacks in Riyadh, Baghdad -Meanwhile Iran has kept up retaliatory
attacks on Gulf nations it accuses of serving as a launchpad for US
strikes.Saudi Arabia said Sunday it detected three ballistic missiles
around the capital Riyadh. One was intercepted, and two fell in
uninhabited areas, the defence ministry said.The United Arab Emirates
said it responded to new missile and drone attacks from Iran, after the
Islamic republic warned its neighbour against allowing strikes from
disputed islands near the Strait of Hormuz.In Lebanon, the Iran-backed
Hezbollah militant group said it attacked Israeli soldiers in northern
Israel's Misgav Am, where first responders said rocket fire from Lebanon
killed one person.The death is the first Israeli fatality from fire
from Lebanon since fighting started with Hezbollah on March 2.The war
has also spilled into Iraq. At least six overnight attacks targeted a US
diplomatic and logistics centre at Baghdad's International Airport, two
Iraqi security officials told AFP on Sunday.- 'Uncertainty' -Tehran
partially emptied out at the weekend as many locals headed to the
countryside for the Persian New Year holidays.As the number of strikes
on the capital eased off in recent days, AFP journalists reported seeing
people in the streets again and browsing market stalls, but the shadow
of the war loomed large."The only common feeling these days is
uncertainty about what lies ahead and what the outcome will be" of this
war, 31-year-old Tehran resident Shiva told AFP."We've all lost our
work. We have no income, and we don't know how long we can continue like
this," she added.burs-mfp/amj
Iran minister says US, Israeli strikes caused 'heavy damage' to water, energy infrastructure.
Tehran,
March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026-Iran's critical water and energy
infrastructure have suffered extensive damage due to US and Israeli
strikes, the country's energy minister said on Sunday.Israel and the
United States launched strikes on Iran on February 28, killing the
Islamic republic's supreme leader and sparking a war that has since
spread across the Middle East."The country's vital water and electricity
infrastructure has suffered heavy damage following terrorist and cyber
attacks by the United States and the Zionist regime," said energy
minister Abbas Aliabadi, according to ISNA news agency."The attacks
targeted dozens of water transmission and treatment facilities and
destroyed parts of critical water supply networks," he noted, adding
that efforts were underway to repair the damage.Earlier on Sunday, US
President Donald Trump threatened to strike Iran's power plants if it
failed to reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz within 48 hours.Traffic
through the vital strait -- through which 20 percent of the world's
crude oil and liquefied natural gas normally passes -- has been brought
to a near-standstill since the start of the war.Iranian forces have
attacked multiple vessels, saying they failed to heed "warnings" against
transiting the waterway.In recent days, Iran has allowed some vessels
from countries it considers friendly to pass, while warning it would
block ships from countries it says have joined the "aggression" against
it.In response to Trump, Iran threatened to target energy infrastructure
and desalination plants across the region.
Facts about Strait of Hormuz war blockade.
London,
March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026-Here are key facts and figures about the
blockage of the Strait of Hormuz, a crucial shipping route virtually
paralysed by the Middle East war.Around a fifth of global crude oil and
liquefied natural gas passes through the waterway in peacetime.The war
erupted on February 28 when the United States and Israel began bombing
Iran, prompting Tehran to retaliate with strikes across the region and
sharply restrict access to the strait.- 24 security incidents -Since
March 1, 2026, 24 commercial vessels, including 11 tankers, have been
attacked or reported incidents in the Gulf, the Strait of Hormuz or the
Gulf of Oman, according to the British naval maritime security agency
UKMTO.Across all types of vessels, an additional four attacks claimed by
the Iranian Revolutionary Guards have not been confirmed by
international authorities.- 8 sea workers killed -Since the conflict
began, at least eight seafarers or dock workers have died in incidents
in the region, according to the International Maritime Organization
(IMO).A further four remain missing and 10 were injured.- 95% shipping
drop -The channel typically sees around 120 daily transits, according to
shipping industry intelligence site Lloyd's List.From March 1 to 21,
commodities carriers made just 124 crossings, according to analytics
firm Kpler -- a decrease of 95 percent.Of these, 75 were by oil tankers
and gas carriers and most were travelling east out of the strait.-
20,000 seafarers stranded -Around 20,000 seafarers, along with cruise
ship passengers, port workers and offshore crews, are affected in the
region, according to the UN's International Maritime Organization
(IMO).The IMO estimates at least 3,200 vessels are currently there, up
to two-thirds of them "large commercial vessels engaged in international
commerce".Marine consultancy Clarksons said in a note on March 18 that
there were 250 oil tankers in the Gulf, accounting for five percent of
global crude tanker tonnage.- Ship fuel price up around 90% -Ship fuel
prices have risen around 90 percent since the start of the conflict,
according to data from industry monitor Ship and Bunker.Clarksons said
the cost of shipping a barrel of crude oil had doubled to $10 since the
start of the year.
Saudi Arabia orders Iranian military attache,
four embassy staff to leave-Following repeated Iranian attacks, Saudi
Foreign Ministry says more strikes will have ‘significant consequences’
for current and future relations By Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 6:03
am-MAR 22,26
Saudi Arabia informed Iran’s military attache, his
assistant and three members of the embassy staff that they must leave
the kingdom within 24 hours after being declared persona non grata, the
Saudi foreign ministry said on Saturday, citing what it described as
continued Iranian attacks on Saudi territory.Saudi Arabia has come
under attack by hundreds of Iranian missiles and drones since the start
of the US-Israeli war with Iran, the vast majority of which have been
intercepted, authorities said.Early Sunday morning, Saudi Arabia’s
Ministry of Defense said three ballistic missiles had been detected
around the capital.“One missile was intercepted, while the other two
fell in an uninhabited area,” a spokesperson for the ministry posted on
social media.The ministry said in a statement that continued Iranian
attacks would lead to further escalation and have “significant
consequences” for current and future relations. It has repeatedly
condemned the attacks, which have been aimed at places including
Riyadh’s foreign embassy district as well as a refinery.The war, which
has seen Tehran attack Gulf countries such as Saudi Arabia, has also
disrupted oil and natural gas exports from the Middle East and forced
production stoppages.Last week, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry ordered Iran’s
military and security attaches, along with their staff, to leave the
country within 24 hours, following an attack on that country’s massive
natural gas facility.On Wednesday, Saudi Foreign Minister Prince Faisal
bin Farhan said the kingdom reserved the right to act militarily against
Iran.“What little trust there was before has completely been
shattered,” the Saudi diplomat said after a meeting between foreign
ministers of the Gulf Arab states and others over the Iranian
attacks.“The attacks on my country and on my neighboring countries that
are not involved in this conflict — that’s all I’m interested in,”
Prince Faisal continued. “We’re going to use every lever we have —
political, economic, diplomatic and otherwise — to get those attacks to
stop.”He criticized Iran’s attacks on Riyadh, which was hosting the
meeting.“I cannot see it as coincidental,” he said. “That’s the clearest
signal of how Iran feels about diplomacy… It tries to pressure its
neighbors, and that’s not going to work.”Saudi Arabia and Iran
re-established diplomatic ties in 2023 as part of an effort to calm
tensions after years of enmity that saw them back opposing political
and military factions in the region. During the same period, Israel has
sought a normalization accord with Saudi Arabia.Last week, The New York
Times reported that Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed bin Salman was
speaking regularly with US President Donald Trump amid the war, and was
urging him to continue attacking Iran harshly.According to the report,
which cited several unnamed officials, bin Salman conveyed advice
previously given by Saudi Arabia’s late King Abdullah: to “cut off the
head of the snake.”That advice from Abdullah was contained in a trove of
diplomatic cables that leaked in 2010, in which Gulf leaders were
revealed to have urged more forceful American action against Iran’s
nuclear program.
IDF chief: Iran offensive is about halfway
through-Over 150 injured, 11 seriously, in Iranian missile strikes on
southern cities of Arad, Dimona-Two children in serious condition after
air defenses fail to intercept missile fire apparently aimed at nuclear
research facility near Dimona; Iran claims salvo was retaliation for US
strike on Natanz By Emanuel Fabian,Diana Bletter,Sam Sokol-and Agencies
Today, 1:54 am-MAR 22,26
Nearly 200 people were injured by
Iranian strikes in the southern cities of Dimona and Arad on Saturday,
11 of them seriously, medics said, after Israeli air defenses failed to
intercept at least two ballistic missiles.Following the strikes, Prime
Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Israel Defense Forces Chief of Staff Lt.
Gen. Eyal Zamir pledged to continue fighting Israel’s enemies on “all
fronts,” amid the US-Israeli war with Iran that began on February 28.
The IDF later said the Air Force was conducting a wave of strikes in
Tehran targeting the Iranian regime’s infrastructure.Among those
seriously injured in the strikes on the south were a 12-year-old boy
suffering from shrapnel injuries in Dimona, and a 5-year-old girl hurt
in the subsequent strike in Arad. The missile fire came amid repeated
Iranian attacks on the Dimona area on Saturday.Iranian state media said
the strikes targeted Israel’s nuclear research facility, located some 10
kilometers (six miles) outside of Dimona and 30 kilometers (18.5 miles)
outside of Arad, in retaliation for an alleged US attack on Iran’s
Natanz uranium enrichment facility earlier in the day. Iran blamed that
attack on the US and Israel, though the IDF denied any involvement.The
Shimon Peres Negev Nuclear Research Center is believed to be key to
Israel’s long-suspected nuclear weapons program, the existence of which
Jerusalem neither confirms nor denies as a matter of policy.Iran had
also targeted the city of Dimona prior to the alleged attack on
Natanz.Some 20 people are lightly injured by the Iranian ballistic
missile impact in Dimona, Magen David Adom says. https://t.co/SUMLFLoSLp

to social media from multiple angles showed the ballistic missile
hurtling out of the sky at high speed before crashing into the city. The
missile carried a conventional Iranian warhead, with hundreds of
kilograms of explosives, according to military assessments.Soroka
Medical Center in Beersheba said it treated 175 people wounded in the
attacks on Arad and Dimona, 36 of whom remained hospitalized as of
Sunday morning.In addition to the boy listed in serious condition from
the Dimona strike, a woman in her 30s was moderately injured by glass
shards and another 31 people were treated for light injuries, the Magen
David Adom emergency service said. The injuries were primarily caused by
shrapnel or sustained while running for shelter. Another 14 people were
treated for acute anxiety.The ambulance service released a video of a
residential building ablaze in the town.The condition of a young boy
wounded by an Iranian ballistic missile impact in Dimona has worsened,
medical officials say. The Magen David Adom ambulance service says it
treated a total of 23 people who were injured by the missile impact,
including the boy and a woman in her 30s… pic.twitter.com/MiNjF2TdGn

2026“There was extensive damage and chaos at the scene,” an MDA
paramedic said in a statement.The mother of the injured 12-year-old boy
told the Kan public broadcaster that he hadn’t managed to reach the bomb
shelter by the time the missile struck.The Israel Defense Forces
dispatched Home Front Command search and rescue units to the scene of
the impact, amid reports that the missile, which carried a large
warhead, had caused significant damage to homes and other buildings in
the area.Hours later, similar scenes of destruction unfolded in nearby
Arad after a ballistic missile impacted in the city, causing damage to
several buildings.MDA said its medical teams treated 84 people for
physical injuries at the scene of the impact before transferring them to
hospitals, including 10 who were seriously hurt — among them a
5-year-old girl.Another 19 people were listed in moderate condition,
while 55 others were lightly hurt. Another four people were treated for
acute anxiety and also taken to hospitals.Drone footage from United
Hatzalah captured the impact scene in Arad.The missile — carrying a
conventional warhead with hundreds of kilograms of explosives — struck
between several apartment buildings, wounding dozens of people and
causing extensive damage.Drone footage courtesy of United Hatzalah shows

(Mannie) Fabian (@manniefabian) March 21, 2026-Dozens of ambulances, as
well as MDA helicopters and Israeli Air Force helicopters, were present
at the scene to evacuate the injured to the hospital.Police Commissioner
Danny Levy, speaking at the site of the impact in Arad, said police did
not believe anyone to be missing following the strike but that searches
through the rubble were ongoing.“We won’t leave here until we confirm
that there is no one missing and no one we have forgotten in the
rubble,” Levy said. He added that the searches were using technological
means in addition to people physically searching the site of the
impact.“According to reports I received, there is no one trapped at the
moment,” he said. “We are continuing to search so that we truly don’t
forget anyone here.”The military said the Israeli Air Force was
investigating the failure to intercept both ballistic missiles. It
confirmed air defenses had engaged both projectiles, but the
interceptors failed to knock them down.The Home Front Command was also
probing the circumstances of the impacts.But IDF spokesman Effie Defrin
stressed that neither of the missiles reflected a new threat, despite
the failure to shoot them down.“The air defense systems operated but did
not intercept the missile. We will investigate the incident and learn
from it. This is not a special or unfamiliar type of munition,” he said
in a post on X.“Our hearts are with the residents of Arad and Dimona
tonight,” Defrin added, wishing the dozens of victims a speedy recovery
and stressing the importance of following Home Front Command
guidelines.Also on Saturday night, an additional Iranian missile attack
set off sirens in Eilat and the surrounding area.There were no reports
of injuries, and preliminary military assessments suggested the missile
heading toward Israel’s southernmost city had been intercepted.PM: ‘Very
difficult’ evening, we’ll keep fighting ‘on all fronts’Netanyahu
addressed the two strikes in a statement acknowledging the “very
difficult evening in the campaign for our future.”He said he had spoken
with the mayors of Dimona and Arad, and called on government ministries
to “provide all necessary assistance” to the two cities.“We will
continue to strike our enemies on all fronts with determination,” the
premier added.In the hours following the strikes, the Health Ministry
announced that some of those wounded in Arad and Dimona would be
transferred from hospitals in the south of the country to those in the
center.Health Ministry Director General Moshe Bar Siman-Tov said the
health system was now operating in full emergency mode, and was
preparing to provide increased mental health care for the population in
the south of the country and for those who had been evacuated from their
homes to hotels in the Dead Sea area.In addition, he said the National
Resilience Center had contacted the mayors of Dimona and Arad to assist
with whatever was needed.“This is a complex and difficult sequence of
events, and the regulated evacuation between hospitals allows us to
maintain a high level of care for each casualty, even when there are
several incidents at the same time,” Bar Siman-Tov said.Education
Minister Yoav Kisch announced that all in-person educational activities
would be canceled across Israel on Sunday and Monday.The decision, made
in consultation with the Home Front Command, would be enforced across
the entire country, Kisch said, including in areas that had previously
been allowed to resume in-person education.Zamir: Iran offensive has
reached halfway point-In Iran on Saturday, local news agencies reported
that a hospital and a tourist site in the country’s southwest were
damaged in Israeli and US strikes, killing at least one child.According
to the semi-official Mehr and Fars news agencies, strikes killed a child
at the Ritaj entertainment complex in Ahvaz and damaged the Andimeshk’s
Imam Ali Hospital, both of which are in the Khuzestan province on the
border with Iraq. The hospital said the blast created significant damage
and that the hospital was no longer accepting patients, but did not
give any other information.Defense Minister Israel Katz said the strikes
against Iran could be expected to intensify in the coming week.“This
week, the intensity of the strikes that the IDF and the US military will
carry out against the Iranian terror regime and the infrastructure it
relies on will significantly escalate,” he said during an assessment
with military officials.Katz said that Israel is “determined to continue
leading the offensive against the Iranian terror regime, to decapitate
its commanders and thwart its strategic capabilities, until every
security threat to the State of Israel and to US interests in the region
is removed.”Meanwhile, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir said on
Saturday night that the military was halfway through its campaign
against Iran.“We are halfway through, but the direction is clear. In
about a week, on Passover, the holiday of freedom, we will continue to
fight for our freedom and our future,” he said in a video
statement.Zamir said that the “extensive damage we have caused to the
Iranian regime over the past three weeks is beginning to accumulate into
a systemic-strategic, military, economic, and governmental
achievement.”“As a result, the regime of evil is weaker, and Iran is
more exposed and without significant defense capabilities. The leaders
of the regime, who developed capabilities with the goal of destroying
us, are battered and confused,” he said.The IDF chief also commented on
Iran’s recent long-range ballistic missile attack on the UK-US Indian
Ocean military base at Diego Garcia.The failed strike was the first
indication that Tehran has missiles in its stockpiles that can travel
much further than previously acknowledged.“Just yesterday, Iran launched
a two-stage intercontinental ballistic missile with a range of 4,000
kilometers [2,500 miles] toward an American target on the island of
Diego Garcia. These missiles were not intended to hit Israel. Their
range reaches the capitals of Europe — Berlin, Paris, and Rome are all
within direct threat range,” Zamir said.Separately, Zamir held an
assessment with senior officers following the strikes in Dimona and
Arad.The assessment was attended by Operations Directorate chief Maj.
Gen. Itzik Cohen, Israeli Air Force chief Maj. Gen. Tomer Bar,
Intelligence Directorate chief Maj. Gen. Shlomi Binder, and Home Front
Command chief Maj. Gen. Shai Klapper.The military said Zamir instructed
the officers to “continue investigating the incidents and draw lessons
from them.”In addition, Zamir approved strikes that will take place
Saturday night “across all fronts,” the IDF added.Gulf targeted in
attacks; Saudi expels Iranian diplomats-Alongside its attacks on Israel,
Iran kept up its fire on Gulf states on Saturday, firing drones at the
United Arab Emirates, Saudi Arabia and Kuwait.The UAE said it was facing
aerial attacks from the Islamic Republic, after Iran warned its
neighbor against allowing the US to launch attacks from its territory on
disputed islands near the strategic Strait of Hormuz.“UAE air defences
are currently responding to incoming missile and drone threats from
Iran,” the Emirati defense ministry said in a statement explaining that
“the sounds heard are the result of the Air Defense Systems intercepting
missiles and drones.”A ministry spokesperson said Sunday morning that
three drones had been intercepted and destroyed in the country’s eastern
region.The Tasnim news agency reported the Iranian military’s
operational command had warned the UAE that “if any further aggression
originates from its territory against the Iranian islands of Abu Musa
and Greater Tunb in the Persian Gulf, Iran… will subject Ras Al Khaimah
in the UAE to heavy strikes.”Authorities in the northern emirate of Ras
Al Khaimah, which shares its name with the UAE’s sixth-largest city,
said later on Saturday the “sounds heard across parts of the city were
the result of successful air defense interception operations.”Abu Musa
and the Greater Tunb islands, which are controlled by Iran but claimed
by the UAE, have long been a source of dispute between the two
countries.The islands are located in the Gulf near the entrance to the
critical global shipping chokepoint, the Strait of Hormuz.Egypt’s
president Abdel-Fattah el-Sissi and Saudi Arabia’s Crown Prince Mohammed
bin Salman warned Saturday that the Iranian escalation against Gulf
states endangered the safety and the stability of the region.The
state-run Saudi Press Agency reported that Sissi reiterated his
country’s rejection of the Iranian attacks on the Gulf states, adding
that the Egyptian president expressed solidarity with the Kingdom
against threats.Saudi Arabia’s foreign ministry said on Saturday that
the Iranian security attache and his assistant, along with three other
staffers in the Iranian embassy in Saudi Arabia, had to leave within 24
hours. Hours earlier, Saudi Arabia downed 20 Iranian drones, according
to its defense ministry.On Sunday morning, Saudi Arabia’s Ministry of
Defense said three ballistic missiles had been detected around the
capital.“One missile was intercepted, while the other two fell in an
uninhabited area,” a spokesperson for the ministry posted on social
media.Also Saturday, Arab League chief Ahmed Aboul Gheit welcomed the
visits of Sissi and Jordan’s King Abdullah II to multiple Gulf states
over the past few days, saying that these visits “reflect full Arab
solidarity.”

Shrapnel wounds 20 after Iran missile warning in Israel nuclear town.
Jerusalem,
March 21 (AFP) Mar 21, 2026-Israeli medics said shrapnel wounded 20
people in the town of Dimona, home to a nuclear facility, after warnings
of incoming missile fire from Iran.Magen David Adom first responders
said their teams were treating approximately 20 victims at a number of
impact sites, including a 10-year-old boy and a 40-year-old woman in
moderate condition.Israeli police released pictures of officers in a
building with a large hole blown in the wall.Dimona in southern Israel
hosts a facility widely believed to possess the Middle East's sole, if
undeclared, nuclear arsenal.Israel has maintained a policy of ambiguity
about its nuclear programme, and the Dimona plant officially focuses on
research.The casualties in Dimona came after Iranian authorities said
the nuclear facility at Natanz in the Islamic republic was struck in the
US-Israeli bombing campaign.
Iran missiles targeting Diego Garcia base fell short, intercepted: UK minister.
London,
March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026-UK minister Steve Reed on Sunday said one
missile launched by Iran targeting a joint UK-US military base in the
Indian Ocean "fell short" while another missile was "intercepted"."Our
assessment is that the Iranians certainly targeted Diego Garcia," a
military base some 4,000 kilometres (2,500 miles) away from Iran, Reed
told the BBC."As we understand it, one missile fell short, failed, the
other was intercepted and prevented," said the housing minister, who was
representing the government on the Sunday morning shows."But I don't
think it's a surprise this has happened, Iran has been recklessly firing
missiles around the region," he added.Diego Garcia, part of the Chagos
Islands archipelago, is one of two bases which the UK has allowed the
United States to use for what the British government insists are
"defensive operations" in its war against Iran.The Wall Street Journal
first reported Friday that Iran had aimed two ballistic missiles at the
base, which is a key hub for Washington's Asia operations, including the
US bombing campaigns in Afghanistan and Iraq.While neither hit their
target, the launch suggests that Tehran has missiles with longer ranges
than previously thought.American forces have stationed bombers and other
equipment at Diego Garcia.On Friday, the UK government said it would
allow Washington to use its bases in Diego Garcia and Fairford in
southwest England to target Iranian "missile sites and capabilities
being used to attack ships in the Strait of Hormuz".A UK official source
confirmed that Iran's "unsuccessful targeting of Diego Garcia" took
place before Friday's announcement.Reed insisted that the "UK will not
be dragged into this conflict", adding that there was "no specific
assessment that the Iranians are targeting the UK or even could, if they
wanted to".He also highlighted the contrasting positions taken by the
UK and the United States on the war, with British leader Keir Starmer
attracting US President Donald Trump's ire in recent weeks."It is not
the first time in history that the United Kingdom and a British prime
minister has taken a different view from the US president. It happened
in Vietnam," said Reed.
'They beat us with whips': Sudan RSF detainees tell of horrors in El-Fasher.
Tawila,
Sudan, March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026-In the suffocating darkness of a
sealed shipping container, every thud signalled to Ibrahim Noureldin
that one more detainee had died in the crush as Sudanese paramilitary
fighters kept forcing more men inside.Thousands of people are estimated
to have been detained in the Rapid Support Forces' (RSF) October
takeover of North Darfur's El-Fasher, a battle that a UN investigation
found bore the "hallmarks of genocide"."When people died of thirst and
hunger, we were beaten and forced to bury them outside," 42-year-old
Noureldin said."We were put to work, lifting their luggage, materials,
weapons. If we moved too slowly, they beat us with whips," he told AFP
from Tawila -- an overwhelmed refugee town west of El-Fasher now
sheltering hundreds of thousands of people.In February, the United
Nations' rights office and the London-based Centre for Information
Resilience (CIR) said that the RSF had converted hospitals, schools,
warehouses and shipping containers -- like the easy-to-lock, inescapable
box that nearly killed Noureldin -- into a sprawling network of
makeshift prisons.The RSF, at war with Sudan's regular army for nearly
three years, has an iron grip on El-Fasher, and has only allowed in a
handful of humanitarians, who say the city is "a ghost town".But in
Tawila, an AFP journalist gathered rare testimonies from five former
detainees, speaking to them inside fragile shelters of straw and
tattered fabric.- 'Sips of water' -Under one straw awning, Noureldin
leaned on a crutch, still weak from his injuries.On October 26, he and
six others were fleeing the RSF's final assault on the city when they
were "shot at, beaten and accused of fighting for the army".He was
loaded into a Land Cruiser and taken to al-Borsa market in the city's
east, then locked with about 120 men in the airless container.For over a
month, they survived on "tiny sips of water" and "a little
lentils".Months of testimony, satellite imagery and verified videos
analysed by the UN and CIR show that the detainees included government
workers, doctors, journalists, teachers and aid staff.Many were held for
ransom, accused of army affiliation or based on tribal identity.The RSF
denies the abuses. A spokesman told AFP the reports were "propaganda",
accusing the army of "using civilians as human shields".Both warring
sides have been accused of atrocities against civilians, including
deliberate targeting and detention.- 'Nails ripped with pliers' -One of
the RSF's largest detention centres was El-Fasher Children's Hospital,
where "more than 2,000 men" were held "without access to water and
food", the UN said."They brought us to the children's hospital, said we
were fighters and kept me there for a month," Abdullah Idris, 45, told
AFP.With nothing but saline solution to drink, he said he "could only
watch" as dozens of people died every day.The UN recorded up to 40
deaths a day during a cholera-like outbreak, killing 260 people in a
single week.Besides disease, "the torture was horrible, especially to
the young men", he said."If you tried to speak, they'd kill you with a
single shot."Ahmed Aman, 45, another hospital detainee, said some
detainees "had their fingernails ripped out with pliers".After weeks at
the hospital, he was moved to Garni, northwest of El-Fasher, where
CIR-verified footage showed "at least 600 detainees" being forcibly
marched, including women and children.- 'Like animals' -Nedal Yasser,
27, was abducted the day after the RSF assault on the city.For six
weeks, she was shuttled with other women between detention sites,
including al-Mina al-Bary, a bus depot near the market where the UN said
hundreds were held in about 70 shipping containers."I was beaten, tied
up, interrogated. When they found out my husband was a soldier, the
torture got even worse," she told AFP."We were exploited and sexually
harassed, only sometimes allowed to go to the bathroom."She and the
other women were ordered to pay $2,000 ransoms, but everything she owned
had "already been looted".Finally, she was brought to a house,
"assaulted", then dumped in a remote area.She walked dozens of
kilometres to Tawila, suffering a miscarriage on the way.The UN has
documented widespread torture and "cruel, inhuman and degrading
treatment", including sexual violence, beatings with wooden rods,
flogging and being suspended in painful positions from trees.In the open
fields of Tawila, survivors carry the scars.Aman's back remains "torn
apart" from beatings.Yasser regularly faints when she tries to stand.And
mechanic Ahmed al-Sheikh, 43, walks with a limp and cannot see out of
his right eye after being struck by an RSF fighter.He reached safety
only in February after four months in Shala prison, where the UN said
the RSF held more than 2,000 detainees by January."They'd kill people
right in front of us," he told AFP."They would select people randomly,
killing us like animals."According to the UN, at least 6,000 more
detainees were transferred from El-Fasher to Tagris prison in the RSF's
de facto capital, Nyala, where they maintain a complete communications
blackout.

Palm
Springs area sees more record heat with no major cooling in
sight-Portrait of Tom Coulter Tom Coulter-Palm Springs Desert Sun-March
21, 2026, 11:29 a.m. PT
Palm Springs and nearby desert areas have
continued to experience unprecedented seasonal temperatures in recent
days amid a regional heat wave, repeatedly setting new records for their
hottest March days.The triple-digit temperatures are forecasted to
continue into next week, though the heat is not expected to be quite as
intense as in recent days.Palm Springs saw its hottest temperature ever
recorded in March over three consecutive days — reaching 106 degrees on
March 18, 107 degrees on March 19, and 108 degrees on March 20 — due to a
lingering heat dome. Its prior monthly record for March (104 degrees)
dates to 1966.The 108-degree recording in Palm Springs, which was also
seen in Thermal and Indio in recent days, tied the prior record for the
hottest March day ever recorded nationwide, but a small Arizona
community near Yuma broke that record the same week, reaching 110
degrees amid the regional heat wave.The scorching temperatures in Palm
Springs, which are 20 to 30 degrees above average for the season,
occurred about two months earlier than when the area typically sees such
high temperatures, according to Lauren Villafane, a meteorologist with
the National Weather Service’s San Diego office.The record-breaking heat
wave across the Southwest would be “virtually impossible without
human-induced climate change,” according to an analysis by climate
scientists from World Weather Attribution published on March 20. It
noted that heat waves are the deadliest types of extreme weather
events.“Extreme heat is most deadly earlier in the year, when people
have not acclimated to the heat, and vulnerable people are exposed to
high temperatures for the first time,” the analysis states.While
temperatures are expected to be a few degrees cooler, Palm Springs won’t
see significant relief from the scorching heat heading into next week,
according to forecasters.Villafane said a trough of cooler air would
bring temperatures down slightly over the weekend, though another
high-pressure system was expected to arrive in the desert as early as
Tuesday, March 24, and persist through the week, with temperatures
likely reaching into the low 100s.Slightly farther east in the valley,
the forecast in Thermal was largely the same.“We have it forecast to
stay above 100 all week for the high,” Villafane said of the forecast in
Thermal.Riverside forecast shows temperatures in the 90s-In Riverside,
temperatures weren’t expected to reach as high as in the desert, though
they would still likely be well above seasonal norms.Villafane said the
Riverside area could see highs in the upper 80s on Sunday, March 22,
followed by highs in the low- to mid-90s for the rest of the week.The
weather is slightly cooler than the record heat Riverside has seen in
recent days. On March 20, Riverside reached a high of 102 degrees, tying
a March record dating back to 1916, per the weather service.What's the
outlook for April weather in Palm Springs? While it was too soon to
offer specific forecasts, Villafane said initial models are indicating
the weather will be slightly hotter than average heading into early
April.“It is looking like 60% to 70% leaning above average
(temperatures) for all the models,” Villafane said of the outlook for
early April.Cooling centers open in Palm Springs, Indio-Amid
triple-digit heat, the cities of Palm Springs and Indio recently opened
cooling centers for people who need a place to cool off.In Palm Springs,
the James O. Jessie Desert Highland Unity Center, located at 480 W.
Tramview Rd., will be open Monday to Friday from 9 a.m. to 5:30 p.m.The
temporary location of the Palm Springs Public Library at 4721 E. Palm
Canyon Dr., Suite A, will also be open from 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Monday
and Thursday; 10 a.m. to 6 p.m. on Tuesday and Wednesday; and 10 a.m. to
5 p.m. on Friday and Saturday.Martha’s Village and Kitchen will also
operate the Palm Springs Access Center, located near the airport at 225
El Cielo Rd., as a daily cooling space for unhoused residents.Farther
east, the Indio Senior Center, located at 45700 Aladdin St., will be
open to adults ages 50 and up on weekdays starting at 7:30 a.m.For those
under 50, the Molina Healthcare One-Stop Help Center at 81735 Highway
111 is open from 8:30 a.m. to 5:30 p.m. (with a 1-hour closure at noon)
Monday through Friday.Tom Coulter is a reporter for The Desert Sun.

China's premier vows to expand global 'trade pie': state media.
Beijing,
March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026-China's number two leader Li Qiang said
Sunday that his country was willing to help expand the global "trade
pie" by further opening up, state media reported, while he slammed
unilateralism from certain countries.Many of China's key trading
partners have increasingly called on Beijing to reduce its soaring trade
surplus owing to its impact on local competition.Its trade surged by a
fifth in the first two months of the year, official data showed earlier
this month, significantly outpacing forecasts.China "will steadfastly
advance high-level opening up, import more high-quality foreign goods,
and work alongside all parties to promote the optimised and balanced
development of trade", Premier Li Qiang told business executives in
Beijing on Sunday, according to Xinhua.Li was speaking at the opening of
the annual China Development Forum, attended this year by prominent
business leaders including Apple CEO Tim Cook.The Chinese premier added
that Beijing would work with other countries to "join forces to make the
global economic and trade pie larger for everyone".He slammed growing
unilateralism and protectionism, which he said was "no panacea for
resolving problems".Beijing has been seeking to steer a shaky economy
onto a more stable path since the end of the pandemic, particularly by
