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.

Two dead, three wounded as missile intercepted in Abu Dhabi: government media office.
Abu
Dhabi, March 26 (AFP) Mar 26, 2026-Two people were killed and three
were wounded by falling debris after air defences intercepted a
ballistic missile on the outskirts of Abu Dhabi, the government media
office said on Thursday."The incident resulted in the deaths of two
unidentified individuals, three injuries, and damage to a number of
cars," the Abu Dhabi Media Office said in a post on X.
Strikes near Iran, Israel nuclear sites risk 'unmitigated catastrophe': UN.
Geneva,
March 25 (AFP) Mar 25, 2026-Strikes around Iran and Israel's nuclear
sites risk unleashing an "unmitigated catastrophe", the United Nations
rights chief said Wednesday, warning that the Middle East war had
created an "extremely dangerous" situation.Speaking before the UN Human
Rights Council, where countries were holding an urgent debate on
Tehran's attacks across the Gulf, Volker Turk warned that many of the
strikes in the weeks-long war "raise serious concerns under
international law".In particular, Turk cautioned that "recent missile
strikes near nuclear sites in both Israel and Iran underscore the
immense danger of further escalation"."States are flirting with
unmitigated catastrophe."His comments came after the UN nuclear watchdog
said Iran had informed it that "another projectile hit the premises" of
the Bushehr nuclear power plant on Tuesday, without damaging it.Over
the weekend, an Iranian strike hit the southern Israeli town of Dimona,
home to a nuclear facility, in what Tehran said was in response to an
earlier attack on its nuclear site at Natanz."The situation is extremely
dangerous and unpredictable, and has created chaos across the region,"
Turk said, insisting that "we cannot go back to war as a tool of
international relations".The UN rights chief also warned that "this
conflict has an unprecedented power to ensnare countries across borders
and around the world"."The complex dynamics could ignite further
national, regional or global crises at any moment, with an appalling
impact on civilians and people everywhere."The rare urgent debate at the
rights council, requested by Bahrain on behalf of the six Gulf
Cooperation Council (GCC) countries and Jordan, was focused exclusively
on Iran's strikes on countries across the Gulf region and their impact
on civilians.In the debate, branded by Tehran as "detached from
reality", the 47-member council was considering a draft resolution that
"condemns in the strongest terms the egregious attacks" by Iran,
condemns Tehran's actions aimed at closing the Strait of Hormuz and
voices "grave concerns at the Iranian attacks on energy
infrastructure".It demands Iran "cease all unprovoked attacks" against
the GCC states and Jordan, and "provide full, adequate, effective and
prompt reparation for all injury and damage... caused by its
internationally illegal wrongful acts".It does not mention Israel or the
United States.
Israel says air defences responding to Iranian missiles.
Jerusalem,
March 26 (AFP) Mar 26, 2026-The Israeli military said air defences were
responding to missile attacks from Iran on Thursday, with sirens
activated across central Israel, parts of Jerusalem and the occupied
West Bank.In two separate statements about 20 minutes apart, the
military said it had "identified missiles launched from Iran toward the
territory of the State of Israel"."Defensive systems are operating to
intercept the threat," the statements said.After the first attack, the
military said people were "now permitted to leave protected spaces in
all areas of the country".Israel's Magen David Adom emergency medical
service said there were no reports of casualties.The attacks came more
than 14 hours after the military had previously announced incoming
missiles from Iran.Central Israel came under fire overnight from
Lebanon, where Iran-backed militant group Hezbollah claimed a series of
attacks targeting military sites. Israeli media said six rockets were
intercepted.
Trump, fearing slaughter, said to have rejected
Netanyahu proposal to jointly call for Iranian uprising-PM reportedly
asked Trump last week to issue the call after Israel killed Larijani and
Basij chief, but Trump worried protesters would ‘get mowed down’;
Netanyahu then issued his own, less clearcut, call, and no protests
materialized By Nava Freiberg,Lazar Berman and ToI Staff Today, 5:15
am-MAR 26,26
US President Donald Trump reportedly rejected a
proposal last week by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to jointly call
on the Iranian public to take to the streets and topple the regime
during the war against Iran, with the president fearing the protesters
would be slaughtered.Netanyahu ended up issuing a less clear-cut call on
his own, encouraging Iranians to go to the streets to celebrate an
annual festival.The reported conversation points to persisting
differences between Israel and the US over the extent to which regime
change is a goal of the war with Iran.The report, which appeared on
Channel 12 and Axios on Wednesday, cited senior American officials and
an Israeli source familiar with the details. The discussion reportedly
took place hours after Israel on March 17 assassinated top Iranian
officials Ali Larijani, the former secretary of Iran’s National Security
Council, and Gholamreza Soleimani, former head of the Islamic
Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Basij Force.The Basij took a central role in
repressing the mass anti-regime protests earlier this year. According to
activist groups, thousands, and perhaps tens of thousands, were killed
in the crackdown.Netanyahu is said to have told Trump after the
assassinations that the Iranian regime was in chaos, and that the time
had come to further destabilize it by issuing the joint call.Trump,
however, reportedly expressed concern that such a call could lead to
mass bloodshed as the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps would likely
murderously suppress the protesters as regime forces had in January.“Why
the hell should we tell people to take to the streets when they’ll just
get mowed down,” Trump said to Netanyahu, Axios reported, citing a US
official who was briefed on the conversation.The two leaders instead
agreed to reassess developments the following day, when Iranians
celebrated the Persian Fire Festival, a holiday often marked by large
public gatherings.In the event, however, Netanyahu went it alone, urging
Iranians later on March 17 to take to the streets to celebrate the
ancient festival.“In the past 24 hours, we knocked out two of the
terrorist chieftains, the top terrorist chieftains of this tyranny,”
Netanyahu said from the Air Force command bunker in the Kirya military
headquarters in Tel Aviv.“Our aircraft are hitting the terror operatives
on the grounds, in the crossroads, in the city squares,” he said in
English. “This is meant to enable the brave people of Iran to celebrate
the Festival of Fire.”The festival, Chaharshanbe Suri, is seen by the
Islamic Republic as a pagan holiday, and its celebrations often feature
anti-regime protests.In the end, no mass demonstrations
materialized.According to the Axios report, while Netanyahu views
creating the conditions for regime change as a core objective of the
war, Trump sees toppling the regime as a “bonus,” US officials
said.Trump touted the possibility of a popular uprising at the beginning
of the war. But as he announced this week that the US had begun talks
with Iran, Trump remarked to CNBC that “this is regime change.”According
to the US outlet, Trump based his assessment on the fact that many
Iranian leaders had been killed and replaced.One day earlier, Israel’s
ambassador to the US, Yechiel Leiter, said the war with Iran had to
continue until the Islamic Republic’s regime was degraded to the extent
that it would have “no power” and the Iranian people could rise up and
topple it.“What we have to focus on now is degrading to the point where
they have no power left in this regime,” he said. “Hopefully, that will
trigger this combustion point where the people are able to take charge
of their own lives. Our focus has to be on degrading this regime to the
point where they no longer pose a threat to us, to the region, to the
world.”
Netanyahu: War 'continuing at full force'Trump: Iran
wants deal ‘so badly’; White House says campaign ‘very close’ to meeting
goals-US president said to seek quick end to war; Tehran reportedly
tells mediators ceasefire must include end to Israel-Hezbollah fighting;
Iran’s FM, parliament speaker said temporarily taken off US-Israeli hit
list; Israel trying to hobble Iran’s arms industry By Jacob Magid,Lazar
Berman,Agencies and ToI Staff Today, 3:49 am-MAR 26,26
US
President Donald Trump insisted that Iran has been negotiating with his
administration and “badly” wants a deal, hours after his press secretary
said the US is “very close” to achieving its objectives in the bombing
campaign.The comments on Wednesday came amid ongoing reports on talks
between the US and Iran nearly four weeks into the US-Israeli war with
the Islamic Republic. The US formulated a 15-point proposal to halt the
conflict, which elicited a cold response from Tehran. Among other
demands, Iran’s leaders are said to be insisting that any ceasefire
include an end to fighting between Israel and the Lebanese terror group
Hezbollah, an Iranian proxy.Against that backdrop, Israel is continuing
its attacks on the regime, reportedly worried that Trump could end the
war abruptly. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the campaign was
“continuing at full force,” as was the fight against Hezbollah.White
House Press Secretary Karoline Leavitt said American operations were
running ahead of the four-to-six-week timeline the US had set for the
war, and that the key goals were almost achieved. “From the outset,”
Leavitt said, Trump and the Pentagon “estimated it would take
approximately four to six weeks to achieve this critical
mission.”“Twenty-five days in, the greatest military the world has ever
known is ahead of schedule and performing exceptionally,” she said. “We
are very close to meeting the core objectives of Operation Epic Fury,
and this military mission continues unabated.”Later in the day, Trump
said Iranian officials were not admitting that they have been
negotiating with the US because they are scared of being killed.“They
want to make a deal so badly, but they’re afraid to say it, because they
figure they’ll be killed by their own people. They’re also afraid
they’ll be killed by us,” Trump said at a Republican fundraising
event.According to a report in The Wall Street Journal on Wednesday
night, Trump wants a quick conclusion to the war and hopes to end it in
the coming weeks, before a May meeting with Chinese leader Xi Jinping.
He is also wary of using ground troops in Iran, the report said.The
comments came as US officials cited by the Wall Street Journal said the
US and Israel have temporarily removed Iran’s Foreign Minister Abbas
Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Baqer Qalibaf from a hit list
of top Iranian officials.Araghchi and Qalibaf were reportedly taken off
the list for four to five days in a bid to jumpstart the talks with
Iran, though the US officials cited by the Journal said the talks had
little chance of success.Iran has reacted coldly to the 15-point US
ceasefire plan that would reportedly require Iran to dismantle its
nuclear program, limit its ballistic missiles and stop supporting
terrorist proxies.In addition, six regional sources familiar with Iran’s
position, who spoke to Reuters on condition of anonymity due to the
sensitivity of the matter, said the Islamic Republic had told
intermediaries as early as mid-March that any ceasefire agreement with
the US and Israel must also include a halt to Israel’s attacks on
Hezbollah.Iran’s official Press TV also cited an Iranian official saying
Tehran wants any deal with the United States to secure an end to the
war on both Iran and “resistance groups” in the region, referring to the
terror groups the regime supports.Israel fears Trump will end war
abruptly-Israel is working to urgently hit as many high-priority targets
in Iran as it can due to concerns that Trump could end the war
suddenly, the New York Times reported on Wednesday, citing two senior
Israeli officials and two people briefed on the matter.According to the
report, Netanyahu on Tuesday instructed the military to take out as much
of Iran’s arms industry as possible in the coming 48 hours.Netanyahu
and Israel’s security chiefs reportedly do not believe that Trump’s
15-point plan would ensure that the Iranian nuclear and ballistic
missile threat is removed.Netanyahu said during a video meeting with
local government heads from the northern border area that the campaign
against Iran is “continuing at full force, despite what is reported in
the media.”Turning to Israel’s fight against Hezbollah in Lebanon, he
asserted that the threat of an invasion of northern Israel by the terror
group “no longer exists,” adding that Israel is creating an expanded
buffer zone in Lebanon to push back threats from Hezbollah’s anti-tank
missiles.Now, he said, the focus is on “dismantling Hezbollah.”“We are
determined to do everything to fundamentally change the situation in
Lebanon,” he promised.Netanyahu also stressed that Israel’s commitment
to protecting the Druze in Syria “remains in force.”Israel has pushed
ground troops deeper into Lebanon and launched heavy airstrikes on
Hezbollah strongholds there after the terror group renewed its rocket
attacks on Israel on March 2 amid the Iran war.

According to Biblical scripture (Genesis 12:7, 15:18),
God
promised the land of Canaan—stretching from the River of Egypt to the
Euphrates—to Abraham and his descendants as a permanent possession. This
unconditional promise, or covenant, is seen by many as a divine right
for the Jewish people to inhabit the land.
Key Aspects of the Promised Land.
Biblical
Covenant: God explicitly promised this land to Abraham, Isaac, and
Jacob. It is described as a permanent, "everlasting possession".
Geographical
Extent: The biblical,, promise covers a broad area including modern-day
Israel, the West Bank, Gaza, and parts of neighboring countries like
Jordan, Egypt, Syria, and Iraq.
The Land Covenant: Known as the
Palestinian Covenant, this promised that even if the Israelites were
dispersed, they would eventually return to the land.
Fulfillment
& Symbolism: While some believe the promise was fulfilled during the
time of Joshua (Joshua 21:43-45), many interpretations argue that the
full extent of the land will not be realized until a future era, often
interpreted as the return of the Messiah.
Modern Significance: The
return of the Jewish people and the establishment of the State of Israel
in 1948 are frequently seen as the modern fulfillment of this biblical
promise.
While often interpreted as a religious, eternal gift to the
Jewish people, it is a deeply significant, and debated, issue regarding
both theology and modern territorial rights.
The Promised Land-By Rev Willem J.J. Glashouwer - 29 July 2025
Let’s
look at ‘The Promised Land’ from a biblical and prophetic
perspective.First of all: Who is the legitimate owner of the land? Is it
Israel? No, it is God.He tells Israel in Leviticus 25:23: “The land
must not be sold permanently, because the land is Mine and you are but
aliens and My tenants.” God owns the land, and it cannot be sold
permanently to anyone else without His permission. The Lord God decided
to give the Promised Land to the nation of Israel. He says in Psalm
105:8-11:“He remembers His Covenant forever, the word He commanded, for a
thousand generations, the Covenant He made with Abraham, the oath He
swore to Isaac. He confirmed it to Jacob as a decree, to Israel as an
everlasting Covenant: ‘To you I will give the land of Canaan as the
portion you will inherit.’”“God owns the Land of Israel, and it cannot
be sold permanently to anyone else without His permission”The land of
Canaan certainly includes Jerusalem, Judea and Samaria (where important
Biblical cities are located, like Hebron and Sichem).But what about
Gaza—is it part of the Promised Land? Yes, it is. Gaza is included in
the land allotted to the tribe of Judah in Joshua 15. Zephaniah
prophesies in chapter 2:2:4-7 that “Gaza will be abandoned and Ashkelon
left in ruins”, but that “[i]t will belong to the remnant of the house
of Judah; there they will find pasture. In the evening they will lie
down in the houses of Ashkelon. The Lord their God will care for them;
He will restore their fortunes.”Although Israel left Gaza voluntarily in
2005, one-day it will again belong to Israel, to the tribe of Judah.The
Promised Land of Canaan also includes the area known in the Bible as
‘Bashan’, the land east of the Jordan River, now located partly in
Jordan and partly in Syria. This is where two and a half tribes lived:
Reuben, Gad and half of the tribe of Manasseh. Look at Numbers 21:33-35
and Deuteronomy 3:12-13; 29:7-8; 34:1-4.The problem is not only the West
Bank of the River Jordan – that has always been even the heartland of
Israel—but also part of the eastside, the Eastbank of the River Jordan,
today called the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan.“The problem is not only
the West Bank of the River Jordan – always been the heartland of
Israel—but also part of the Eastbank of the River Jordan”You could say
that Syria and the Hashemite Kingdom of Jordan today are occupying God’s
land. The same goes for part of the undivided City of Jerusalem. While
Israel unified the city after the June 1967 Six Day war, the Kingdom of
Jordan currently manages the Temple Mount in the heart of Jerusalem on
behalf of the Muslim world. However, this is Mount Sion, of which the
Lord God of Israel says in Psalm 132:13-14: “…For the Lord has chosen
Zion, He has desired it for His dwelling: ‘This is My resting place for
ever and ever; here I will sit enthroned, for I have desired it…’”.One
question remains. What about the Biblical rights of non-Jewish people
living in the Promised Land of Israel? Does the Bible speak about them
as well? Yes, it does. In Ezekiel 47:21-23 the Lord says:“You are to
distribute this land among yourselves according to the tribes of Israel.
You are to allot it as an inheritance for yourselves and for the aliens
who have settled among you and who have children. You are to consider
them as native-born Israelites; along with you they are to be allotted
an inheritance among the tribes of Israel. In whatever tribe the alien
settles, there you are to give him his inheritance,” declares the
Sovereign Lord.”So civil rights for foreigners (non-Jews) living— maybe
already for centuries—in the Promised Land of Israel? Yes! But an
independent Palestinian State on the Land that God Promised to Israel?
No. That is a bridge too far.
AFTER I PUT THE STUFF ABOUT ISRAEL GETTING PROMISED LAND ON. I DECIDED LETS SEE WHATS GOING ON IN THE IRAN WAR THREW PUPPET OF SATAN PARKER AND I COULD NOT BELIEVE WHAT I HEAR AS THE VIDEO GOES ON. ISRAEL WILL BE EXPANDING THEIR LAND.WENT RIGHT WITH MY GOD GIVING ISRAEL THEIR PROMISED LAND THREW THESE WARS.AMAZING.

I feel Iran and its proxies in particular. So we're talking about all the other not just Lebanon but we're talking about all the others that have been tied in wii with um Iran. I feel that there's going to be a lot more of the sort of guerilla type um terrorist warfare including you know other countries coming involved with Afghanistan and things like that involved in the background. And I do feel we're going to see a lot more terrorist attacks. Those will start in the Gulf States itself. I see terrorist attacks in places like Dubai and the Emirates and Uwait and and all around those countries there um happening. It's like we're starting to see the disruption destruction of tourism there. It's like we're going to stop the whole of the Middle East until
such a time as we get our way.
Um and Israel will step up its attacks on Lebanon. I have said already that I feel and I spoke about this before it broke this war that I felt that um Israel will push its way into Lebanon. And I said this would happen and I said they would have and I still hold by this that they'd have an area in Lebanon that's as big as if not bigger than the Goland Heights and they will hold on to it.It's like they're putting a buffer state in there. And actually within that buffer state, there will be towns and villages, but the Christian towns in particular will be protected by the Israelis because years ago is um um Lebanon was very much a Christian sort of uh country, a very large Christian um uh as was as was um Egypt. Uh very Christian. and and I feel that um those Christian um groups will be protected by Israel but that will part of that will be trying to create um a merger eventually with Israel and we'll also see in the coming two years ahead that I feel that Israel will absorb the West Bank into Israel between the next two to three years we're going to this is why I don't see it settling down in the war with Iran you can't just step out of it because Israel is going to think to itself, "Yeah, we're going to just go ahead and complete the agenda that many of the what we would call the Zionists had wanted to do. We're going to expand.We're going to make us We're going to get rid of the West Bank problem once and for all. We're going to get rid of the Lebanon problem once and for all who will stop us. Will Jordan stop us? No.The people from the West Bank, I feel, in Palestine will flee into Jordan. Will um will will anybody stop it? And I also feel that they'll do a similar thing to what happened when Israel first formed as a country and they will try to buy up the land. I see the land of Gaza being bought up by Israel. Um there will be no Palestine in the future. Um and the USA won't intervene. They'll stand back. And we all know we already know how weak Europe is and the European allies were.So you're by not getting involved in wars, you're given can't blanch to Israel to do what it wants. And I feel Israel will expand its borders and make itself into a a a bigger country. Um and simultaneously when all this is going on, um I do feel that there's going to
be a I've spoken about this, but I do feel there's going to be a flare up with the with the Kurds as well that there's a hope to make their own country. This will happen not just in the north of Iran, but also I feel Turkey as well,some of the tur Kurds in Turkey and in Syria. So, we're going to see a new country being formed there eventually. I mean, they were kind of written out of history in the past, but they they always had their own country, wanted their own country, and I'm seeing Turkey trying to stop it. So again, this creates more conflict because Turkey wants to start to get militarily involved in things and I may even see Turkey moving in to the north of Iran in the future.Now the good news is that there will eventually be an uprising in Iran, but that will be and it will bring the democracy that we hope to see um in in Iran. We will see and I've spoken about this at length in the past but we will see the return of the sha or the the son of the sha as a figurehead not as a leader but as a figurehead and Iran will become a model of a new form of democracy a different sort of democracy but it has a democra democratic feel to it even like the way Jordan has a king we but we have a figurehead and like Thailand has a king or Britain has a king um we see a figurehead there in in the son of the sha and but we have to be patient for this because the people in Iran at the moment are absolutely terrified and scared and shell shocked too much so to revolt at the moment. So I feel that that will happen but I feel it's going to take time. It's going to take at least a year maybe two but there will be an uprising that will pull down the um regime there in Iran. But the big problem coming out of this and and this is the bad news in many ways is the problem that's going to be um building up now with Russia and China's resentment towards the USA. China's oil now is being squeezed. Iran and Venezuela have dried up as sources.We've already and I spoke about Cuba a long long time back, didn't I? That Cuba is going to be bowled into this as well.And we're seeing Cuba's oil being dra drained from the country and the country on its knees going to be soon when it comes to energy a and and maybe moves made against Cuba. talking now keeping with the theme um I feel that there's going to be a growing resentment with Russia and China towards um the USA's rising power and I feel that Russia and China are going to going to do money more deals the oil traded for um weapons and so forth between Russia and China expensive oil they can buy very expensive military equipment and then I see them forming a a you know a a a a a a group that will then be ready to challenge the USA and that will happen around the time of the um 2028 elections and that's why I feel the elections uh may be delayed um because of the c crisis that grows then where I feel that will probably be Taiwan that will be the trigger point for that. So we got a lot more ahead. So will the Iranian war end? Well, it's kind of morphing into something more. That's the fear with this, I'm afraid. But we will ultimately get through it all. But it's also been a bit of a smoke screen as well because who's talking about uh for example uh what's going on with the Epstein files?

Longtime resident: 'I built this house stone
by stone'11 Palestinian families evicted after court found Jews owned
their East Jerusalem homes before 1948-1970 law allowing Jews to reclaim
property lost before establishment of Israel leads to families being
forced from Silwan homes where they have lived for decades By ToI Staff,
AFP and Nurit Yohanan-Today, 12:46 am-MAR 26,26
Eleven
Palestinian families were evicted from their homes in the Batan al-Hawa
section of East Jerusalem’s Silwan neighborhood on Wednesday, following a
Supreme Court ruling from last year determining that their houses were
owned by Jews before 1948.The ruling said that because Jews owned the
houses before Jordan occupied East Jerusalem in 1948, the year of
Israel’s War of Independence, their ownership must be transferred to
Ateret Cohanim, a right-wing foundation that works to strengthen the
Jewish presence in East Jerusalem and petitioned to receive the
properties.Palestinian families had petitioned against the eviction, but
their appeals were rejected late last year in several rulings that
ordered 157 residents of the neighborhood to leave their homes.Yosef
Basbous, whose family was among those evicted on Wednesday, said in a
statement, “Our family was expelled in 1948 and dispersed in refugee
camps in the West Bank. I arrived in Silwan with my parents more than 60
years ago. I built this house stone by stone, brick by brick, nail by
nail.”“The police say they are implementing the court’s decisions in
accordance with the law,” he continued. “But what kind of law is this
that can expel me, who has been here for more than 60 years?”The Peace
Now settlement watchdog characterized the evictions as “ethnic
cleansing.”Breaking: ongoing Ethnic Cleansing operations in Silwan,

March 25, 2026“The government and a discriminatory legal system are
expelling an entire Palestinian community and replacing it” with Jewish
nationalists, the left-wing group said. “This is happening in the
Jerusalem of 2026, and it is a stain that will not be erased from
Israel.”The eviction orders target residents of the hilltop neighborhood
south of Jerusalem’s Old City, and are based on a 1970 law that allows
Jews who lost property before the establishment of Israel to reclaim
it.Israeli courts have not denied that Palestinians in Silwan had rights
to their homes. In some cases, they even ruled that the homes had been
legally purchased by the Palestinian families.However, the courts
decided that the deed held by the Benvenisti Trust, a Jewish endowment,
from the late 19th century took precedence and justified the evictions.
Ateret Cohanim obtained trusteeship over the endowment in the early
2000s.Israeli authorities rely on Ottoman-era documents indicating that
Jews of Yemeni origin once lived on the land and left during Palestinian
revolts between 1929 and 1936.The left-wing B’Tselem NGO said the
eviction “marks the beginning of a large wave of displacement affecting
around 2,200 people in Silwan who face imminent risk of forced
displacement … (including) 90 families (700 individuals) in Batan
al-Hawa.”Israeli authorities have evicted many Palestinian families from
the area in recent years, and more families await the enforcement of
eviction orders.Homes that have been vacated are often demolished or
transferred to right-wing Jewish nationalists, who frequently mark their
presence with blue metal Stars of David, making the new occupants
highly visible in East Jerusalem.In Silwan, hundreds of the Jewish
activists live among around 50,000 Palestinians.
G7 meets in France to narrow transatlantic Iran split.
Paris,
France, March 26 (AFP) Mar 26, 2026-Foreign ministers from the G7 meet
outside Paris from Thursday with European nations and allies seeking to
narrow differences with the US on the Middle East war while keeping
other crises like Ukraine and Gaza high on the agenda.The two-day
meeting of seven leading industrialised democracies at the
Vaux-de-Cernay Abbey in the countryside outside Paris comes as the White
House said President Donald Trump is ready to "unleash hell" if Iran
does not accept a deal to end the US-Israeli war against the Islamic
republic.Making his first trip abroad since the war started, US
Secretary of State Marco Rubio will join fellow top diplomats from
Canada, Germany, Italy, France, Japan and the UK, but only on the second
day.One of the objectives of France, which holds the rotating G7
presidency this year, is "to address the major global imbalances which
explain in many respects the level of tension and rivalry we are
witnessing with very concrete consequences for our fellow citizens,"
French Foreign Minister Jean-Noel Barrot told AFP on Tuesday.With
Lebanon pulled into the war as Iran-backed Shia militant group Hezbollah
fired rockets into Israel, Barrot also urged Israel to "refrain" from
sending in forces to take control of a zone in south Lebanon.In a bid to
broaden the scope of the elite G7 club -- whose origins go back to the
first G6 summit held in the nearby Chateau de Rambouillet in 1975 --
France has also invited foreign ministers from key emerging markets
Brazil and India as well as Ukraine, Saudi Arabia and South Korea.France
will also on Monday host a separate G7 meeting bringing together
finance ministers, energy ministers and central bank governors, Finance
Minister Roland Lescure told RTL radio on Thursday.The meeting, to be
held via video call, will address what Lescure described as a
"convergence of energy issues, economic issues and inflation
issues".-'Misguided policies'-While all G7 nations are close US allies,
none have unambiguously offered support for the assault on Iran,
angering Trump.German Finance Minister and Vice Chancellor Lars
Klingbeil even complained Trump's "misguided policies" in the Middle
East were hitting Germany's economy.Trump has claimed the US is speaking
to a "top person" within Iran's clerical system in talks to end the
conflict. But Iranian state TV said on Wednesday Tehran had rejected a
peace plan conveyed through Pakistan.Trump's threat to hit Iranian
energy facilities -- which he is now holding back on amid the purported
talks -- troubled European allies who have all called for de-escalation
and not engaged militarily in the conflict.British foreign minister
Yvette Cooper on Tuesday voiced unease that the war had shifted focus
away from the Gaza peace plan and violence in the occupied West
Bank.Over four years into Russia's full-scale invasion of Ukraine,
Barrot told AFP that support "for the Ukrainian resistance" and pressure
on Russia would continue.
Drone crashes in Romania after Russia strikes Ukraine.
Bucharest,
March 26 (AFP) Mar 26, 2026-A drone crashed near a village in Romania
on Thursday after overnight Russian air strikes in neighbouring Ukraine,
the government announced, in the latest such incident since Moscow
invaded Ukraine.NATO member Romania, a key ally of Kyiv, has repeatedly
seen violations of its airspace and drone fragments falling onto its
soil following Russia's invasion of Ukraine in 2022."At 00:44, a drone
deflected by Ukrainian air defence entered national airspace for a
distance of approximately four kilometres" (2.5 miles), the defence
ministry said on Thursday."The drone crashed two kilometres from the
village of Parches, outside the inhabited area," it said.No casualties
or property damage were reported, only "a patch of burned vegetation and
drone debris", it added.People in the area received phone alerts about
the possible danger.The drone was found after someone alerted the
authorities, according to emergency services.Two F-16 aircraft were
scrambled during the night.In 2025, Romania adopted a law allowing it to
shoot down drones which breach its airspace, but no such action has
been taken so far.Earlier this month, Ukraine and Romania announced
their intention to produce drones together in Romania using up to 200
million euros ($230 million) funding from the EU's SAFE Initiative.The
two countries signed a statement of intent on the matter during a visit
to Bucharest by Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky.
Germany, Australia deepen defence ties.
Sydney,
March 26 (AFP) Mar 26, 2026-Australia and Germany agreed Thursday to
simplify hosting each other's troops and cooperate on space defence
during a visit by German Defence Minister Boris Pistorius to
Canberra.Australia's Defence Minister Richard Marles said the two
countries would sign a status of forces agreement making it "much easier
for our defence forces to operate from each other's
countries".Australia will join Germany's plan to build an "early warning
system for space", which Pistorius said was a response to Russia and
China's growing capability to blind and destroy satellites.Germany
intends to deploy an "independent global network of surveillance
sensors" to defend its systems, he added.Australia will also add
missiles from German company TDW to its expanding domestic manufacture
of guided weapons, designed to hedge against shortages in the Indo
Pacific as the Ukraine and Middle East conflicts strain global
supply.Pistorius has emphasised shared interests among mid-sized
countries in Europe and the Indo Pacific to "uphold international
rules", and protect trade routes, energy supplies and security, while
visiting Japan, Singapore and Australia this week."Security in Europe
and security in the Indo Pacific are two sides of the same coin," he
said in a speech at the National Press Club in Canberra, where he
highlighted Beijing's support of Russia's war in Ukraine.The US and
Israel's war with Iran is an example of how international rules have
come into question, he said, adding the immediate focus must be how to
end the war."We don't want to get sucked into that war," he said."What
concerns me the most about that war is there was no consultation, there
is no strategy, there is no clear objective and the worst thing from my
perspective is there is no exit strategy," he said.Germany would
potentially be willing to join an operation to secure navigation in the
Strait of Hormuz after a ceasefire, he said.
Russia pulls more staff from Iran nuclear plant after reported air strike.
Moscow,
March 25 (AFP) Mar 25, 2026-Russia pulled another group of staff from
Iran's Bushehr nuclear power plant on Wednesday after what it described
as a "reckless" air strike near the plant's reactor.A projectile landed
within the plant's compound on Tuesday night, Iran's atomic energy
organisation said, accusing the United States and Israel of being
responsible.Russia partially constructed the plant on Iran's Gulf coast
and its technicians help operate it."We are deeply outraged by this
reckless and irresponsible manifestation of a destructive course of
action," the Russian foreign ministry said in a statement."It appears
that the aggressors are deliberately seeking to provoke a large-scale
nuclear disaster in the region," the ministry added.Russia's atomic
energy agency announced earlier that it was evacuating staff from the
plant for safety reasons."Today, at approximately 7:20 am Moscow time
(0420 GMT), 163 people left Bushehr for the Iranian-Armenian border,"
Rosatom CEO Alexey Likhachev was quoted as saying by the state RIA news
agency."Right now, about 300 remain... Some people will stay. I think it
will be a few dozen people who will oversee the equipment," he added in
comments to reporters, including AFP.Rosatom had already withdrawn 150
people working at the plant, amid the threat of US and Israeli
airstrikes.Before the conflict began, Russia was in the process of
building two new reactors at the plant.The UN's nuclear watchdog issued a
statement on Tuesday calling for "maximum restraint to avoid nuclear
safety risks".
German chemical giant BASF opens vast China complex.
Frankfurt,
Germany, March 26 (AFP) Mar 26, 2026-German chemical titan BASF
officially opened a giant, 8.7 billion euro ($10 billion) production
complex in China Thursday, a major but controversial expansion in the
world's number two economy.The complex in Zhanjiang, Guandong province,
sprawls over an area of about four square kilometres (1.5 square miles)
and brings together numerous plants producing a vast array of
chemicals.It is the biggest ever investment project by BASF, which has
long insisted that expanding in China, the world's biggest chemical
market, is necessary to ensure its future prospects."China remains the
market offering the greatest growth for our industry," BASF CEO Markus
Kamieth said in an interview with the Handelsblatt financial daily this
week."The strong focus on new industries, renewables, and the green
transition is a huge opportunity for an innovative chemical company like
BASF."The greater focus on Asia comes with Germany's crucial chemical
sector in crisis as it battles high energy costs, red tape and fierce
competition, in particular from Chinese producers.But the Chinese
project has proven controversial at a time that the world's biggest
chemical company has embarked on a major cost-cutting drive in its home
market.BASF has been axing jobs at its historic site of Ludwigshafen in
southwest Germany, and announced in February that it planned to cut
back-office jobs in Berlin and shift them to India.There have also been
concerns about boosting investments in Communist Party-ruled China,
particularly after Berlin urged companies to "de-risk" from the country
by diversifying into other markets.BASF has run into problems before in
China; last year the company exited two joint ventures in the Xinjiang
region after its local partner was alleged to have participated in
rights abuses against the local Uyghur minority.In addition, analysts
have questioned whether the investment will pay off -- the Chinese
economy is facing a long slowdown and there is already overcapacity in
the market.Over 2,000 people are employed at the Zhanjiang site, which
will produce a range of chemicals for sectors ranging from transport to
consumer goods and electronics.Most of the products manufactured at the
site are intended for customers in China.It is BASF's third-biggest
complex worldwide, after Ludwigshafen and Antwerp in Belgium.sr/cw
Hezbollah rejects truce talks as Israel presses Lebanon strikes.
Beirut,
Lebanon, March 26 (AFP) Mar 26, 2026-Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said
negotiations with Israel under fire would amount to "surrender", as the
Iran-backed group launched attacks and Israel said it was expanding a
"buffer zone" inside Lebanon.Israel, which occupied southern Lebanon for
around two decades until 2000, has kept up strikes on its northern
neighbour and sent ground troops to take control of a strip up to the
Litani River, around 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the border.Israel's
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said the military had already "created
a genuine security zone" and was now expending it, pushing deeper into
Lebanon."We are simply creating a larger buffer zone" that could prevent
a ground invasion of Israel and missile attacks, Netanyahu said in a
video shared by his office.Hezbollah meanwhile issued dozens of
statements claiming attacks on Israeli forces, and said it also launched
missiles early on Thursday at military sites in central Israel, where
air raid sirens sounded.Israeli media said six Hezbollah rockets headed
for central areas were all intercepted.UN Secretary-General Antonio
Guterres called on both sides to cease fire. He warned Israel against
replicating "the Gaza model" in southern Lebanon as some Israeli
officials have suggested, raising fears of mass displacement.Hezbollah
said its fighters had launched more than 80 attacks on Wednesday, the
largest daily number in the current war, and attacked Israeli forces in
nine border towns.Israel's military said that one of its soldiers was
severely wounded by rocket fire in southern Lebanon and another by
mortar shell, having earlier reported an officer being lightly injured
in combat.Rockets fired towards the Haifa area in northern Israel
resulted in no injuries.Lebanon was pulled into the Middle East war when
Hezbollah began firing rockets into Israel on March 2 to avenge the
killing of Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.In an attempt to
put an end to the fighting, Lebanon's president is calling for
unprecedented direct negotiations with Israel, which has so far rebuffed
his proposal.Hezbollah chief Qassem said Wednesday his group would have
none of it: "When negotiations with the Israeli enemy are proposed
under fire, this is an imposition of surrender."- Health workers killed
-Lebanon's state-run National News Agency (NNA) reported Israeli strikes
and artillery shelling in several locations in the south on Wednesday,

Hezbollah says negotiating with Israel would be surrender, amid strikes on Lebanon.
Beirut,
Lebanon, March 25 (AFP) Mar 25, 2026-Hezbollah chief Naim Qassem said
Wednesday that negotiating with Israel under fire would amount to
"surrender" for Lebanon, as Israeli premier Benjamin Netanyahu said his
forces were "expanding" a "buffer zone" in Lebanon.Netanyahu said the
Israeli military had "created a genuine security zone" inside Lebanon
and was "expanding this zone," as its ground forces tried to push deeper
into Lebanon, on a day when Hezbollah issued dozens of statements
claiming attacks on Israeli forces.Israel, which occupied southern
Lebanon for around two decades until 2000, has once again sent ground
troops into Lebanon, saying it is attempting to take control of the area
up to the Litani River, around 30 kilometres (20 miles) from the
border.As the two sides fought in the south, UN Secretary-General
Antonio Guterres warned that "the Gaza model must not be replicated in
Lebanon", a comparison previously drawn by Israeli officials talking
about their goals in Lebanon."Hezbollah must stop launching attacks into
Israel. And Israel must stop its military operations and strikes in
Lebanon, which are hitting civilians the hardest," Guterres told
reporters at the United Nations.By late on Wednesday, Hezbollah said it
had launched more than 80 attacks against Israel, the largest number the
Iran-backed group has claimed since the start of the latest war.It also
said it had attacked Israeli forces in nine border towns.Israel's
military said that one of its soldiers was severely wounded by rocket
fire in southern Lebanon, having earlier reported an officer being
lightly injured in combat.It also reported several rockets fired towards
the Haifa area in northern Israel, but no injuries.- 'Imposition of
surrender' -Lebanon was pulled into the Middle East war when Hezbollah
began firing rockets into Israel on March 2 to avenge the killing of
Iran's supreme leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.In an attempt to put an end
to the fighting, Lebanon's president is calling for unprecedented
direct negotiations with Israel, which has so far rebuffed his
proposal.Hezbollah chief Qassem said Wednesday his group would have none
of it: "When negotiations with the Israeli enemy are proposed under
fire, this is an imposition of surrender."Lebanon's state-run National
News Agency (NNA) reported Israeli strikes and artillery shelling in
several locations in the south on Wednesday.It also said that "enemy
warplanes... launched a strike" on Beirut's southern suburbs, after a
renewed Israeli army evacuation warning.An AFP correspondent saw a
street covered in debris, including shattered cement and warped metal,
after the early morning strike, while an apartment building's upper
floors appeared damaged.The area has been targeted multiple times during
the conflict and is largely empty of residents, who have fled.Late on
Wednesday, the Lebanese health ministry reported three people killed by
an Israeli airstrike in the Bint Jbeil region of southern
Lebanon.Israel's military said it struck Hezbollah targets across
Lebanon overnight "including a command centre" in Beirut's southern
suburbs.It also said it attacked petrol stations belonging to the
Al-Amana fuel company, which it says is controlled by Hezbollah and
finances the group.- Paramedics killed -According to the ministry, 42
health workers are among more than 1,000 people killed in Lebanon in
more than three weeks of Israeli strikes.Lebanese authorities say
upwards of one million people have been displaced.Hezbollah said its
fighters on Wednesday targeted Israeli troops "massed in the border
towns of Naqura and Qawzah" and in sites across the border "with more
than 100 rockets".The statement came as the group claimed a series of
attacks on Israeli troops in south Lebanon, northern Israel, and the
Israeli-occupied Golan Heights.In an earlier statement, Israel's
military said ground troops in southern Lebanon had "dismantled a
weapons storage facility", and the air force killed "several
terrorists".It also said troops had "dismantled Hezbollah command
centres in which numerous weapons were located", without specifying
where.
Trump defends Iran war amid economic fallout, backlash
from Republican lawmakers-US president says country is ‘winning so big,’
but voters are concerned about rising prices and GOP congresspeople
sour at a briefing on a potential ground invasion By AP and Jacob
Magid-Today, 7:44 am-MAR 26,26
US President Donald Trump defended
the Iran war at a Republican fundraising event on Wednesday, as the
war’s economic fallout has mounted and lawmakers in his own party
expressed notes of dissent.Trump said the US “is winning so big” in the
war in Iran, but it is keeping gas prices high, travelers are facing
unprecedented airport security wait times and Americans remain concerned
about steep costs of living.Trump addressed the National Republican
Congressional Committee’s annual fundraising dinner at Washington’s
Union Station roughly seven months before the November 3 midterm
elections in the US, in which the incumbent president’s party
historically has lost seats in Congress.The gathering also came as
polling shows most Americans believe the US military action against
Iran, undertaken in conjunction with Israel, has gone too far, and
voters are more and more worried about Trump’s failure to address
affordability issues.US Sen. Lisa Murkowski, a moderate Republican from
Alaska, said her constituents are asking about the path forward in Iran
and whether Trump will deploy troops there.“There’s a lot that people
want to know, so whether it’s how it’s being communicated in the media,
or how it’s being communicated here in the Congress, I think it’s
lacking right now,” Murkowski said.Trump has insisted that the current
economic jolt will be temporary, and that he can bring the conflict to a
close quickly — all of which defy the more complicated and nuanced
political and economic realities.Gas prices were $3.12 a gallon in the
US when Democratic president Joe Biden left office and were just under
$3 before the US-Israeli strikes began. Today’s average is $3.98,
according to motorist group AAA.Trump has suggested the war is worth
some short-term political jitters.“I can’t say that ‘Gee, I don’t want
to have any impact on oil prices for three or four weeks, or two months,
and we’re going to let Iran have a nuclear weapon,’” he said.During his
speech on Wednesday night, he acknowledged the impact on the US economy
but said he felt the attack was necessary. “We had to cut out the
cancer,” he said. “The cancer was Iran with a nuclear weapon, and we’ve
cut it out.”In the meantime, about 59 percent of Americans say the US
military strikes in Iran have been excessive, while 45% are “extremely”
or “very” concerned about being able to afford gas in the next few
months, according to a poll released Wednesday by The Associated
Press-NORC Center for Public Affairs Research.Trump blamed Americans’
sour opinion of the war on media coverage that doesn’t echo his claim
that Iran has been militarily destroyed. Iran has maintained its ability
to strike targets in the region and effectively shut down the Strait of
Hormuz, snarling the global oil trade. Meanwhile, some of Trump’s own
war objectives remain undefined or unfulfilled.“You know, if you listen
to the news, you think we’re losing a war in Iran where we’re decimating
the other side,” Trump said.Prior to the event, Republican US lawmakers
said Pentagon officials failed to give a congressional panel sufficient
information regarding a potential US ground operation against Iran
during a classified briefing.“We want to know more about what’s going
on, what the options are, and why they’re being considered, and we’re
just not getting enough answers on those questions,” House Armed
Services Committee chair Rep. Mike Rogers told reporters after the
hearing.Rogers said troop movements in the Middle East should be
“thoughtful and deliberate,” indicating that what he heard from Pentagon
officials didn’t reflect that.“That’s what I conveyed to them at the
end of this hearing, is this has consequences if you don’t remedy it,”
he added.Given Rogers’ hawkish reputation, his criticism indicated that
Trump could lose support from key members of his party if he proceeds
with a ground operation against Iran.The hearing came as the Pentagon
prepares to deploy thousands of troops from the US Army’s 82nd Airborne
Division to the Middle East.Asked about Rodgers’ concerns, Senate Armed
Services Committee chair Roger Wicker told reporters, “Let me put it
this way: I can see why he might have said that.”Also upset by the
hearing was fellow Republican Nancy Mace, who has been more critical of
the war from the get-go.“Just walked out of a House Armed Services
briefing on Iran. Let me repeat: I will not support troops on the ground
in Iran, even more so after this briefing,” Mace wrote on X.“The
justifications presented to the American public for the war in Iran were
not the same military objectives we were briefed on today in the House
Armed Services Committee. This gap is deeply troubling. The longer this
war continues, the faster it will lose the support of Congress and the
American people,” she added in a separate post.At Wednesday’s event, US
Rep. Nick LaLota, Republican of New York, said voters in his Long
Island-based district are concerned about affordability and safety. But
he also said the war in Iran means “the president is right to think
about America’s long-term security.”On whether Iran policy will be an
anchor for Republicans, LaLota encouraged taking a wait-and-see approach
leading up to November, and said any fallout could depend on whether
the US has stopped Iran’s nuclear ambitions and reopened the Strait of
Hormuz.“I think this could be a thing that bolsters conservatives’
approach to national security,” he said.Richard Hudson, chair of the
National Republican Congressional Committee, similarly said it was too
early to jump to political conclusions.“If we’re still at this stage in
the war in the fall, then I’ll talk to you about that,” Hudson said.
“But the president says it’s going to be short, so I believe him. I
think he did the right thing by doing what he did.”
Hezbollah
fires missiles at central Israel; 2 soldiers seriously hurt in
Lebanon-Five other soldiers lightly hurt; woman moderately wounded while
seeking shelter from attack; terror group claims salvo targeted IDF HQ,
but army says missiles intercepted By Emanuel Fabian,Lazar Berman,Nava
Freiberg and ToI Staff Today, 6:32 am-MAR 26,26
Hezbollah fired a
salvo of several missiles at central Israel overnight, hours after two
soldiers were seriously hurt in Lebanon in separate incidents.The
Lebanese terror group claimed that the salvo targeted the Israel Defense
Forces’ Kirya headquarters in Tel Aviv, but the IDF said all of the
missiles were successfully intercepted. Hezbollah also fired additional
rockets at northern border communities overnight, in addition to Safed
and the Golan, with no injuries reported.The Magen David Adom ambulance
service reported that no one was directly hurt by the attack on the Tel
Aviv area, though a woman was moderately wounded when she sustained a
head injury while seeking shelter from the missiles and two others were
lightly hurt in a car accident at the time. MDA said multiple missile
fragments were found after the salvo.The attack comes more than three
weeks after Hezbollah, which is backed by Iran, renewed its rocket and
drone fire on Israel amid the US-Israeli war with the Islamic
Republic.Since then, Hezbollah has been firing an average of about 150
rockets per day, according to the IDF. Roughly two-thirds of the daily
rocket fire has been directed at Israeli forces operating in southern
Lebanon and along the border, with the remaining third aimed at
Israel.In response, the IDF has deepened its presence on the ground in
southern Lebanon and has conducted heavy airstrikes on thousands of
Hezbollah targets, calling on large numbers of civilians to evacuate
southern Lebanon. The military has said that it has killed around 700
Hezbollah operatives, including hundreds of members of the terror
group’s elite Radwan Force, since hostilities escalated amid the war
with Iran.As talks to end the Iran war have gotten underway, Tehran has
reportedly demanded that the Israel-Hezbollah conflict cease as part of a
peace deal. But on Wednesday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said
Israel was creating an expanded buffer zone in Lebanon to push back
threats from Hezbollah anti-tank missiles. Now, he said, the focus is on
“dismantling Hezbollah.”“We are determined to do everything to
fundamentally change the situation in Lebanon,” he promised.On
Wednesday, the IDF said a reservist was seriously wounded by Hezbollah
rocket fire in southern Lebanon earlier in the day. The rocket strike
also injured a reserve battalion commander and another reservist, both
of whom were listed in good condition.Early on Thursday morning, the IDF
said another soldier was seriously wounded on Wednesday by a Hezbollah
mortar in southern Lebanon. The mortar strike also lightly injured an
officer and two other troops.The IDF believes Hezbollah still possesses
thousands of short-range rockets, along with hundreds of longer-range
projectiles. The IDF has said that Hezbollah is launching most of its
attacks from deeper within southern Lebanon, and not from close to the
border.Negotiations have been floated between Israel and the Lebanese
government to resolve the conflict, though on Wednesday, Hezbollah chief
Naim Qassem reportedly called talks “an imposition of surrender.”The
same day, Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar called on the United Nations
Security Council to formally designate Hezbollah as a terrorist
organization, in a letter to the body shared by his office.“Hezbollah
has carried out more than 3,500 attacks against Israel since March 2.
The attacks include the launching of rockets, missiles, and unmanned
aerial vehicles toward Israel,” Sa’ar wrote in the letter.The foreign
minister called on the Security Council to condemn Hezbollah, designate
it as a terrorist organization, pressure Lebanon to disarm it in line
with UN resolutions, and hold Iran accountable for supporting the
group.Sa’ar stressed that “Israel will not accept violations of its
sovereignty and attacks against it and its citizens and will take all
necessary measures to protect them, in accordance with international
law.”He also reiterated criticism of inaction from Beirut.“The failure
of the government of Lebanon to act against Hezbollah’s military
infrastructure demonstrates a lack of will and sufficient effort and
inability to effectively address Hezbollah,” he wrote.Also on Wednesday,
Kuwait’s Interior Ministry said it arrested six people linked to
Hezbollah who were planning “assassinations” in the Gulf state.Those
arrested were planning “assassinations targeting symbols and leaders of
the state and recruited people to carry out these missions,” the
ministry said in a statement.AFP contributed to this report.

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.

Are Iran's power plants the next targets in the war?
Tehran, March 22 (AFP) Mar 22, 2026-More than three weeks into the Middle East war, key infrastructure across the region -- from gas and oil facilities to nuclear sites -- has come under fire.Now, the conflict could spill over to power plants.US President Donald Trump has threatened to strike those located in Iran if Tehran does not reopen the strategic Strait of Hormuz, vital to global oil supplies, by Monday night.Iran has more than 90 power plants, some of them on the Gulf coast at the heart of the hostilities that began on February 28 with US-Israeli strikes on Tehran.About 38 percent of its electricity comes from combined-cycle plants, followed by gas-fired stations (26 percent).Renewables make up 13 percent of output and nuclear energy only about one percent, according to the state IRNA agency, citing officials in December 2024.Iran currently has just one operational nuclear power plant at Bushehr, with a capacity of 1,000 megawatts -- only a fraction of the country's needs.Russia helped build the plantIran and Russia signed a $25-billion deal in September 2025 to build four nuclear plants in southern Iran, each with a capacity of about 1,255 MW, according to IRNA.- Rationing electricity -An arid country, Iran regularly faces drought and sweltering summers, which push up electricity demand for air conditioning.Despite its vast oil and gas resources, the country suffers from energy shortages due to ageing infrastructure and international sanctions.Iran therefore sometimes has to ration electricity for lack of sufficient gas and fuel to run its plants.The country's largest power plant is in Damavand, on the outskirts of Tehran province.It covers around 193 hectares and generates roughly 2,900 megawatts of electricity, according to MAPNA, a company involved in the construction of power plants and energy infrastructure.The second largest is the Shahid Salimi Neka plant, in northern Mazandaran province, with a capacity of of 2,214 megawatts.The third, the Shahid Rajaee Combined Cycle Power Plant, is in northern Qazvin province, with a total capacity of 2,042 megawatts.
Iran strikes Israel, denies Trump talks.
Tehran, March 24 (AFP) Mar 24, 2026-Iran fired a fresh broadside of missiles at Israel Tuesday, causing damage and injuries in Tel Aviv, as uncertainty swirled over possible talks to end the three-week Middle East war.AFP images showed rubble-strewn streets and the side of a building in Israel's commercial hub in ruins, as first responders scrambled to assist at least four people lightly injured at four different locations.Tel Aviv mayor Ron Huldai told reporters a "direct strike" had damaged a building in the upscale neighbourhood, with AFP video showing the facade of the three-storey block torn open.According to several Israeli media outlets, police believe the damage was caused by a cluster munition missile equipped with three to four warheads, each carrying around 100 kilograms of explosives.Iranian media reported US-Israeli warplanes had struck two gas facilities and a pipeline, hours after President Donald Trump stepped back from his threat to attack energy sites citing "very good" talks to end the war.Trump said his administration was speaking with an unidentified "top person", warning if talks failed in the next five days "we'll just keep bombing our little hearts out".But Tehran's parliamentary speaker, Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf, reportedly involved in talks, said "no negotiations" were underway, accusing Trump of seeking "to manipulate the financial and oil markets."Stock markets soared and oil prices saw brief respite after Trump's abrupt about-turn that came ahead of a deadline he had set to reopen the Strait of Hormuz shipping lane or see the US "obliterate" Iran's power plants.US media outlet Axios reported US negotiators Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner may meet an Iranian delegation for talks in Pakistan as soon as this week, with Vice President JD Vance possibly joining.White House spokeswoman Karoline Leavitt did not deny the reports, saying "speculation about meetings should not be deemed as final until they are formally announced by the White House."Pakistan's Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif said Monday he spoke with Iran's President Masoud Pezeshkian, promising Islamabad's help to bring peace to the region."Pakistan is one of the few countries with warm ties with both Tehran and Washington," said Michael Kugelman from the Atlantic Council think tank."It's been engaging heavily at the highest levels with both capitals over the last year, going back to the brief Iran conflict last summer," he noted.Traditional mediator Qatar said Tuesday it "supports all diplomatic efforts" to end the war.- 'There's nothing left' -Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he had spoken to Trump and acknowledged Washington thought a deal was possible, but vowed to continue striking Iran and Lebanon to protect Israel.Israel kept up its bombardment on Beirut's southern suburbs throughout the night, while a strike on Bshamoun, south of the capital, killed two people on Tuesday, according to Lebanon's health ministry."There's nothing left. It's all burned or destroyed... No walls, the windows are gone, the facade is gone, all my hard work has been lost," said Abbas Qassem, 55 from Bshamoun, weeping at the damage to his flat.In Beirut, AFP images showed smoke billowing from gutted buildings, as rescuers picked through the rubble and twisted metal.Strikes also targeted several service stations linked to Iran-backed Hezbollah that Israel has vowed to dismantle.Israel's attacks in Lebanon have killed more than 1,000 people, according to Lebanon's health ministry, and displaced more than a million.The war has killed at least 3,230 Iranians, including 1,406 civilians, according to the US-based Human Rights Activists News Agency. AFP cannot access strike sites nor independently verify tolls in Iran.The conflict has upended global energy markets, threatening a world-wide economic shock, and spiralled quickly through the region, pulling in even former safe-havens in the Gulf.Underscoring the war's broad impact, Iraq's autonomous Kurdistan region accused Iran of killing six of its fighters on Tuesday in the first deadly attack on the regional security forces since the start of hostilities.- 'Sudden pivots' -Iran's neighbours had breathed a sigh of relief after Trump stepped back from his threat to target the country's power infrastructure.Tehran had vowed to deploy naval mines and strike power and water infrastructure across the region in retaliation, threatening to escalate an energy crisis of already historic proportions."Trump has been a master of sudden pivots and switches. So it's sometimes hard to know if there is a strategy or if it's just always improvisation," said Garret Martin, a professor of international relations at American University in Washington.Since the war erupted, Tehran has retaliated by throttling traffic through the Strait of Hormuz, a conduit for one-fifth of global crude, and by hitting Gulf energy sites and US embassies as well as targets in Israel.International Energy Agency chief Fatih Birol warned if the war is protracted, daily oil losses would pave the way for a crisis worse than the combined impact of both 1970s oil shocks and Russia's invasion of Ukraine.
UN rights council will meet Wednesday on Iran's Gulf strikes.
Geneva, March 24 (AFP) Mar 24, 2026-The UN Human Rights Council said it will hold an urgent debate on Wednesday on Iran's strikes on countries across the Gulf region and their impact on civilians.The session was called following an official request submitted by Bahrain on behalf of the six Gulf Cooperation Council countries and Jordan.Human Rights Council spokesman Pascal Sim told a press conference on Tuesday that the countries will present a draft resolution to UN's top rights body.The council will "discuss the recent military aggression launched by Iran against Bahrain, Jordan, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates... targeting civilians and civilian infrastructure, which has resulted in the loss of innocent lives", according to the request.It will be the 11th urgent debate of the Human Rights Council since its creation in 2006.Sim said that on Monday, the Human Rights Council president received a letter from Iran's mission in Geneva on behalf of Iran, China and Cuba requesting another urgent debate.That request, entitled "protection of children and educational institutions in international armed conflicts", will be discussed by the council bureau later on Tuesday, said Sim.The Human Rights Council is holding its first session of the year, which opened on February 23 and runs until March 31.
Hezbollah fires barrage of 30 rockets at Haifa Bay area-Katz says Israel will hold ‘security zone’ in Lebanon until Hezbollah threat removed-Defense minister says Israel to maintain control up to Litani River, vows Lebanese residents won’t return until Israel’s security ensured; IDF strikes Hezbollah command centers in Beirut-By Emanuel Fabian-and AFP Today, 12:55 pm-MAR 24,26
Defense Minister Israel Katz said on Tuesday that Israel will maintain control of a “security zone” in southern Lebanon, up to the Litani River, until the threat of Hezbollah is removed, as the Air Force continued to pound targets belonging to the Iran-backed terror group, which kept up its rocket barrages on northern Israel.“The IDF will continue to operate in Lebanon with full force against Hezbollah. Hundreds of thousands of residents of southern Lebanon who evacuated northward will not [be allowed to] return south of the Litani River until security for the residents of the north [of Israel] is ensured,” he said during an assessment with IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir and other top officers.Katz said that all bridges over the Litani River that had been used by Hezbollah to move operatives and weapons into southern Lebanon “have been blown up, and the IDF will control the remaining bridges and the security zone up to the Litani.”“The principle is clear: Where there is terror and missiles, there will be no homes and no residents, and the IDF will be inside [Lebanon],” he added.On Monday, Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich suggested Israel go further and move its border with Lebanon up to the Litani River.Israel ran a costly occupation of Lebanon’s south in 1982-2000.A November 2024 ceasefire agreement obligated the Lebanese national government to ensure there were no weapons held by non-state bodies in the area of south Lebanon between Israel and the Litani. A 2006 UN Security Council resolution had already barred Hezbollah from operating in the region, but it was consistently violated.Meanwhile, the IDF said Tuesday that troops operating on the Lebanese side of Mount Dov recently located a Hezbollah tunnel shaft, as well as demolished other structures used by the terror group.The Israeli Air Force also leveled a multistory building and struck other structures in Beirut overnight Monday-Tuesday that the military said were being used by Hezbollah as command centers.According to the IDF, the strikes in the Lebanese capital targeted Hezbollah headquarters, including one belonging to the elite Radwan Force and another of the terror group’s intelligence division.Another overnight strike in the southern Lebanon town of at-Tiri targeted a Hezbollah command center that had been embedded within a studio of the terror group’s Al-Nour radio station, according to the IDF.The military said the headquarters was struck while Hezbollah operatives were operating at the site.Last night, the IDF reiterated an evacuation warning for Beirut’s southern suburbs, a Hezbollah stronghold, ahead of strikes on the terror group’s sites.Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency reported that Israel’s overnight attacks had targeted seven areas.“Enemy warplanes launched seven raids overnight on the southern suburbs, targeting the areas of: Bir al-Abed, Al-Ruwais — outskirts of Al-Manshiyya, Haret Hreik, Sayyed Hadi Nasrallah Highway, Saint Therese, Burj al-Barajneh and Al-Kafaat,” NNA said on Tuesday.Separately, Lebanon’s health ministry said an Israeli strike on Bshamoun, south of Beirut, killed two people on Tuesday.“The Israeli enemy raid on the town of Bshamoun in the Aley district resulted, in a preliminary toll, in the martyrdom of two citizens and the injury of five others,” the ministry said in a statement, without specifying if the casualties were civilians or combatants.Located in the mountainous, Druze-majority Aley district southeast of Beirut, Bshamoun lies outside of Hezbollah’s traditional strongholds.Additionally, on Tuesday, Hezbollah fired a barrage of some 30 rockets from Lebanon at the Haifa Bay area.According to the military, most of the rockets were intercepted by air defenses, and there were no immediate reports of impacts in residential areas.The Magen David Adom emergency service said it has not received any reports of injuries.Sirens had sounded in Acre and the Krayot suburbs of Haifa.Since it resumed its attacks on March 2, Hezbollah has been firing an average of about 150 rockets per day, according to the IDF. Roughly two-thirds of the daily rocket fire has been directed at Israeli forces operating in southern Lebanon and along the border, with the remaining third aimed at Israel.The Israeli military has said that it has killed over 570 Hezbollah operatives, including 220 members of the terror group’s elite Radwan Force, since then.More than 2,000 Hezbollah targets in Lebanon have also been struck, including 120 command centers, 100 weapon depots, and 130 missile launchers, according to the IDF.The IDF believes Hezbollah still possesses thousands of short-range rockets, along with hundreds of longer-range projectiles. The IDF has said that Hezbollah is launching most of its attacks from deeper within southern Lebanon, and not from close to the border.
Saudi Arabia and UAE ‘inching toward’ joining fighting against Iran — report-‘Only a matter of time’ before Saudis join attacks on Iran, source says; Gulf countries said to be angry over their lack of influence in US war decisions despite security ties By ToI Staff Today, 10:17 am-MAR 24,26
Saudi Arabia and the United Arab Emirates are reportedly moving closer toward actively joining the fight against Iran, as the war in the Middle East threatens their economies.According to the Wall Street Journal on Tuesday, the Gulf states are “inching toward” a more active role, after Riyadh allowed US forces to use an air base within its borders.A source familiar with the decision cited by the news outlet said it is “only a matter of time” before Saudi Arabia enters the war, after its foreign minister said last week that its patience for Iranian attacks “is not unlimited.”Ahead of the war, Riyadh initially attempted to stay out of the impending conflict by refusing to allow its airspace to be used by US forces, though Iran launched missiles at the kingdom anyway.After Israel and the United States launched the war with an attack on Iran on February 28, Iran responded not only against its attackers but also against all six Gulf Cooperation Council countries — Bahrain, Kuwait, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, and the UAE. The repeated strikes have killed several people and disrupted oil and gas production as well as tourism, both of which are important economic lifelines for the region.Iran has also imposed a de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, through which 20 percent of the world’s oil and gas normally flows, sending crude oil prices soaring.Now, despite initial opposition to the use of force, Gulf countries are pressing the US to continue striking the regime to ensure that Iran comes out of this war with its military power sufficiently degraded to cease posing a threat to them, four senior officials representing different Gulf capitals told The Times of Israel last week on condition of anonymity.The countries have not yet carried out any attacks themselves, as Gulf leaders remain deeply fearful of triggering a broader, uncontrollable conflagration.While the Gulf countries share a common anger at Iran, they are also irate that they are unable to influence the Trump administration’s policies despite their substantial investments in their relationships with Washington, Arab officials told the Journal on Tuesday.The countries had mistakenly believed that they were successful in convincing the US to prevent attacks on Iranian energy sites, after an Israeli strike on fuel depots in Tehran, the Journal reported.However, Israel last week carried out another strike on the South Pars gas field, and the Gulf countries faced attacks on their key energy facilities in retaliation.US President Donald Trump insisted that he knew nothing in advance about the Israeli attack on Iran’s South Pars gas field, while Israeli officials said the strike had been coordinated with the US. Netanyahu, for his part, said Israel “acted alone.”Israel launched its campaign against Iran, alongside the US, to degrade the Iranian regime’s military capabilities, distance threats posed by Iran — its nuclear and ballistic missile programs and its support for terror proxy groups in the region — and “create the conditions” for the Iranian people to topple the regime, the military and other Israeli leaders have said.Jacob Magid and Reuters contributed to this report.
Cameras to crosshairsHow surveillance systems are targeted by wartime adversaries-Iran built a vast camera network to control dissent. Israel turned it into a targeting tool-Cybersurveillance emerges as key weapon of war after Israel used Tehran’s street cameras to assassinate Khamenei, though regime’s leaders were long aware of potential threat-By Dake Kang and SAM MEDNICK Today, 9:33 am-MAR 24,26
AP — The role of Israel’s hijacking of Iran’s street cameras in the killing of the country’s supreme leader underscores how surveillance systems are increasingly being targeted by adversaries in wartime.Hundreds of millions of cameras have been installed above shops, in homes and on street corners across the world, many connected to the internet and poorly secured. Recent advances in artificial intelligence have enabled militaries and intelligence agencies to sift through vast amounts of surveillance footage and identify targets.On February 28, Israel vividly demonstrated the potential of such systems to be hacked and used against adversaries when it tracked down Iranian leader ayatollah Ali Khamenei with the help of Tehran’s own street cameras — despite repeated warnings that Iran’s surveillance systems had been compromised, according to interviews and an Associated Press review of leaked data, public statements and news reports.The use of hacked surveillance cameras among other intelligence in the operation to kill Khamenei was described to the AP by an intelligence official with knowledge of the operation and another person who was briefed on the operation. Neither was authorized to speak with the media and both shared information on condition of anonymity.Iran has installed tens of thousands of cameras in its capital in response to waves of protests, most recently in January, when massive nationwide demonstrations ended in a bloody crackdown that killed many thousands of Iranians.That Tehran’s cameras were compromised was no secret: the city’s cameras were repeatedly hacked starting in 2021, and last year, a senior Iranian politician warned publicly that cameras had been compromised by Israel, posing a national security threat.Conor Healy, director of research at surveillance research publication IPVM, said Khamenei’s killing illustrates a pressing security dilemma for governments seeking to quash dissent.“The irony is that the infrastructure authoritarian states build to make their rule unassailable may be what makes their leaders most visible to the people trying to kill them,” Healy said. “Do you trust who is watching?”Warning signs-For years, cybersecurity experts have warned that cameras could be hacked for war.In 2019, security engineer Paul Marrapese discovered he could easily hack millions of cameras from the comfort of his home office in California.Despite speaking up repeatedly since, the number of unprotected cameras only continues to grow. A scan of unprotected camera feeds this year turned up nearly three million hits, in almost every country in the world, Marrapese told AP.“There are millions and millions and millions of these throughout the world,” Marrapese said. Many, he added, are trivially easy to hack: “They’re just dumb little things… It’s fish in a barrel.”Companies have advertised cameras hooked up online, accessible with cellphones, with feeds easily diverted by hackers. Many are installed with minimal security by unsophisticated users who fail to set up passwords or install security patches. Securing cameras takes constant vigilance, but hacking them takes identifying just one exposed vulnerability, such as an outdated system or a generic password like “1234.”Even surveillance systems set up by governments on networks sealed off from the internet are vulnerable: It takes just one insider turncoat to compromise such systems.“Humans are kind of the weakest link,” Marrapese said. “There’s really only so much you can do.”Eyal Hulata, Israel’s former national security adviser and a senior fellow at the Foundation for the Defense of Democracies, said Israel is under constant cyberattacks from Iran, but has so far been able to defend against it.“There is high alert on all cyber fronts,” he said.For years, hacking cameras for war remained theoretical. But in 2023, Hamas hacked surveillance cameras in southern Israel ahead of its October 7, 2023 attack, allowing the terror group to monitor IDF patrols and assisting the attack, according to Israeli media.That same year, a Ukrainian official told reporters that Russia attempted to hijack cameras near missile targets, a trend that continued in 2024 when Russians hacked cameras in Kyiv and last year, when they hacked cameras at border crossings.Experts say advances in AI have allowed militaries to overcome a critical hurdle in weaponizing hacked footage: sifting through huge amounts of video to identify people, vehicles, and other targets, a task that once took teams of analysts weeks or months but can now be done in real time. With a simple keyword search, AI can scan feeds and return results almost immediately.“It used to be that you could hack the cameras, but humans had to do the real work of figuring out where the person was,” said cryptographer and security expert Bruce Schneier. “With AI systems… you can do a lot more automatically.”The despot’s dilemma-Iran’s cameras have been repeatedly hacked over the past few years.In 2021, an Iranian exile group leaked footage of abuses at Tehran’s notorious Evin prison. In 2022, another group claimed it hacked over 5,000 cameras around Tehran, dumping gigabytes of surveillance footage and internal data on a Telegram channel.Then, during the June war with Iran, Israel used Tehran’s cameras to track and bomb the location of a meeting of Iran’s Supreme National Security Council, injuring Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian, according to Iranian lawmakers and an Israeli documentary.“All the cameras at our intersections are in the hands of Israel,” Mahmoud Nabavian, deputy chairman of the Iranian parliament’s national security committee, told Iranian media in September. “Everything on the internet is in their hands… if we move, they will find out.”The vulnerabilities have come amid Iran’s stepped-up use of surveillance cameras after a series of protests roiled the country. Subway cameras, for example, are used to detect when women don’t don the country’s mandatory hijab, or headscarf, using facial recognition to identify violators.But data collected to consolidate control creates a ripe target for hackers, said researcher Michael Caster, who investigated China’s sales of surveillance technology to Iran.“Malicious parties can more easily gain access,” Caster said.Iran in particular, long sanctioned by the West, faces difficulties in getting up-to-date hardware and software, often relying on Chinese-manufactured electronics or older systems. Pirated versions of Windows and other software are common. That makes it easier for potential hackers to target the country.The Financial Times earlier reported on the use of cameras in Khamenei’s killing.The person briefed on the operation who spoke to the AP said that for years almost all the traffic cameras in Tehran had been hacked and the information transferred to servers in Israel. At least one camera was at an angle that allowed Israel to track daily movements of people, such as where they parked their cars near Iran’s leadership compound, the two people said.Algorithms helped provide information including people’s addresses, routes they took to work and who protected them, according to the person briefed on the operation. That same person said the attack had been planned for months, but the operation was expedited once it was determined that Khamenei and his top officials would be in the leadership compound that morning.Israel’s Prime Minister’s Office didn’t respond to request for comment.Col. Amit Assa, a former official with Israel’s Shin Bet domestic security service, said that such operations are powered by many sources of intelligence, such as undercover agents and bugged conversations.However, Assa says cameras play a key role because they allow intelligence officers to identify people, providing key confirmation in deciding on whether to strike.When you see a person’s face on a screen in the command center, it helps in making the decision to put your “finger on the yellow button, as we say,” he said.More cameras, more coverage-Check Point Research, a cyber threat intelligence group, says Iranian hacking attacks on cameras have spiked since the beginning of the war, with surges of activity in Israel and Gulf countries such as Bahrain and the United Arab Emirates.Such hacks could help Iran monitor targets and assess damage after missile strikes, according to Gil Messing, Check Point Research’s chief of staff.“The more people are installing cameras… the more area is being covered by these cameras,” Messing said. “It is very easy to use in order to get extra eyes into different places.”Analysts estimate there are more than one billion security cameras installed worldwide, triple the number a decade ago. Hundreds of millions more are installed every year.Muhanad Seloom, assistant professor in security studies at the Doha Institute for Graduate Studies, said that oil-rich Gulf countries like Qatar have long known their petroleum facilities could be targeted in a war and had their systems tightly secured. But only recently have officials in the region realized that street cameras, too, could be weaponized.“I don’t think anyone anticipated that these traffic cameras would become targeting tools… there is alarm all over,” Seloom said. “How come Iran’s whole leadership has been decapitated on the first day?… It is a topic that is being talked about.”Across the region, governments are on high alert.Gulf monarchies have barred residents from filming or livestreaming footage of Iranian strikes, with the UAE arresting dozens of people for sharing video of the conflict online.Though aimed in part to protect the country’s reputation, the bans are also motivated by concerns that such footage could be exploited by the Iranian military, Seloom said.Earlier this month, Israel’s National Cyber Directorate said that it had warned hundreds of camera owners targeted by Iran and urged the public to change passwords and update software to starve off attacks.Ali Vaez, Iran project director at the International Crisis Group, said though hacking has long been a concern in the Middle East, its increasing use since the war began was “a wake-up call.”Still, he said there’s only so much that can be done to patch up vulnerabilities.“It’s a whack-a-mole,” Vaez said.
4 people lightly hurt, buildings mangled as Iranian missile attack hits Tel Aviv-Wounded did not require hospital; IDF says it struck Islamic Guards HQ in Tehran; UN Security Council negotiating draft resolution demanding Iran halt Hormuz attacks By Emanuel Fabian,Charlie Summers-and Agencies Today, 7:37 amUpdated at 10:08 am-MAR 24,26
An Iranian missile attack lightly injured four people and badly damaged property in Tel Aviv on Tuesday morning after Israeli airstrikes struck multiple Islamic Republic regime sites overnight.The attack on Tel Aviv was one of several salvos fired from Iran at Israel overnight Monday and into Tuesday morning targeting north, south and central Israel, sending millions repeatedly scrambling for bomb shelters. One person was also lightly wounded in a Haifa suburb.In Tel Aviv, medics said they treated the four people at the site of the Iranian ballistic missile impact, but none required hospitalization.Images showed widespread destruction with a warhead, that police said contained 100 kilograms of explosives, leaving a large crater alongside mangled buildings and vehicles at the scene of the attack.“As soon as we received reports of the impact, we responded with large forces and arrived at the scene within minutes. We saw destruction, smoke, and chaos. We immediately began conducting searches. Four casualties were walking around in mild condition and did not require further medical treatment,” said Magen David Adom medic Yoel Moshe.Home Front Command official Col. Miki David said the warhead caused significant damage to three nearby buildings, but resulted in no serious injuries.“I’m happy to say that in this incident you’re seeing behind me, which appears visually dramatic, there are only three light injuries,” he told reporters at the scene, adding that most residents took cover in a nearby bomb shelter.David further assessed the considerable damage caused by the projectile, indicating that it did not split off from a cluster munition, but noted it still appears to have been smaller than the conventional, non-cluster, warheads previously launched by Iran.Tel Aviv Mayor Ron Huldai told reporters at the scene that “many homes were damaged, and I assume others will be found when the examination is over.”He said the main building hit was old and will be demolished if there is no way to repair it.Doron, a resident of the damaged neighborhood, told the Maariv news outlet he couldn’t stop shaking after the impact.“It was a crazy boom. I went to the stairwell with my partner, and suddenly I heard a huge boom. I embraced her, and we were both scared. I told her it was right above us, right here above us,” he said. “Thank God we are okay.”The destructive impact came after Iran fired several missile salvos overnight Monday and into Tuesday morning after an 11-hour lull.A man who stepped on a missile fragment following an attack on northern Israel was lightly wounded and being treated for his wounds, the Magen David Adom ambulance service said past midnight. Damage was also caused to a home in the Haifa suburb of Nesher by a cluster munition from the attack.Several other strikes throughout the night and into the morning set off sirens in parts of southern, northern, and central Israel, without any injuries reported.In recent days, Iran’s strikes on Israel have slowed to roughly 10 missiles a day from 90 on the first day of the war, and the IDF said Monday that it had destroyed or disabled about 330 of Iran’s estimated 470 ballistic missile launchers.More than half of the launchers were destroyed in strikes, while the others are considered to be inoperable after the air force struck entrances to subterranean facilities that house them, according to the military, which vowed to keep hunting down the roughly 150 remaining launchers.Iran also kept up attacks on the Gulf.In Kuwait, power lines were hit from air defense shrapnel, causing partial electricity outages in several hours. Missile alert sirens sounded in Bahrain, and Saudi Arabia’s Defense Ministry said it had destroyed 19 Iranian drones targeting its oil-rich Eastern Province.The attacks came as US President Donald Trump announced his administration was engaged in talks to end the war that the US and Israel launched on the Islamic Republic on February 28 in a bid to destabilize its regime and destroy its nuclear and ballistic missile programs.Soon after Trump’s announcement, the IDF said it launched a new wave of strikes targeting Iranian regime infrastructure sites in Tehran.The military later said the Israeli Air Force struck the IRGC’s “main security headquarters.” According to the IDF, the site was embedded within “civilian infrastructure” and was used to “synchronize regional units responsible for enforcing regime order and internal security,” including the Basij paramilitary force. Steps were taken to mitigate civilian harm in the strike, the military said.Overnight into Monday, dozens of Air Force jets dropped over 100 bombs on Iranian military bases and weapons production sites during a wave of airstrikes in Tehran, the IDF said.According to the IDF, the sites included: A base of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps’ Quds Force that oversaw “operational and intelligence activity”; an IRGC air defense headquarters; an IRGC ground forces headquarters; an intelligence headquarters of the IRGC Quds Force; a naval cruise missile production site belonging to the Iranian defense ministry; and several more facilities involved in the production and research of weapons, including in the fields of electronics, ballistic missiles, and warheads.In an additional update on the strikes, the IDF said Tuesday morning that the air force struck ballistic missile storage facilities and various Iranian regime headquarters.The military said, in Tehran on Monday, it struck two intelligence headquarters of the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, and a headquarters of Iran’s Intelligence Ministry.Also in the capital, IAF aircraft hit weapon storage sites and air defense systems, the military said.Overnight, the IDF said, it struck in northern and central Iran more than 50 targets, including sites used to store and launch ballistic missiles.Draft Security Council resolution calls to open Hormuz by ‘all necessary means’The UN Security Council is negotiating on a draft resolution introduced by Bahrain to authorize states to use “all necessary means” to ensure freedom of navigation in the Strait of Hormuz, diplomatic sources said Monday.The draft text, seen by AFP, also demands that Iran “immediately cease all attacks against merchant and commercial vessels and any attempt to impede lawful transit passage or freedom of navigation” in and around the Strait.Just a trickle of cargo ships and tankers, most of them Iranian, have made it through the Strait since Iran effectively blocked it in response to the US-Israeli bombing campaign. Normally, about a fifth of global crude oil and liquefied natural gas pass through the Strait. The virtual stoppage has sent prices soaring.The UN Security Council draft resolution proposes allowing member states “to use all necessary means” — including within the territorial waters of littoral states within or bordering the Strait — “to secure transit passage and to repress, neutralize and deter attempts to close, obstruct or otherwise interfere with international navigation” there.The draft also threatens targeted sanctions against those who “undermine navigational rights and freedoms” in the Strait.The resolution text could be modified during the negotiations among member states in the 15-member council, the UN’s highest decision-making body.Its chances of approval by the council, where the five permanent members have veto power, remain unclear.Bahrain, acting on behalf of the Gulf states, was behind a resolution adopted by the council in mid-March that demanded the “immediate cessation” of Iranian attacks against the Gulf states and Jordan.Meanwhile, two tankers bound for India sailed through the Strait of Hormuz on Monday.The two India-flagged tankers were carrying liquefied petroleum gas (LPG) used mostly for cooking in India. They loaded at anchorages in Kuwait and the United Arab Emirates, LSEG ship-tracking data showed.The Pine Gas, which loaded in UAE waters, sailed through the strait followed by the Jag Vasant carrying LPG from Kuwait, ship-tracking data on the MarineTraffic platform showed.India’s Ministry of Ports, Shipping and Waterways, confirmed that the two tankers, carrying more than 92,000 tons of LPG, had sailed through Hormuz and were expected to reach ports in India between March 26-28.Hundreds of vessels have dropped anchor in and outside of the Gulf, cutting off food and other vital imports and energy exports, mostly to Asia and Europe, and some 20,000 seafarers remain stranded inside the Gulf, according to the UN’s shipping agency.

N. Korea's Kim vows 'irreversible' nuclear status, warns Seoul of 'merciless' response.
Seoul, March 24 (AFP) Mar 24, 2026-North Korea will never give up nuclear weapons, leader Kim Jong Un said, indicating that it will soon designate South Korea the "most hostile state", according to a state media report on Tuesday.Kim also told the country's rubber-stamp legislature in a policy address on Monday that the United States was committing "state terrorism", in an apparent reference to its military attacks on Iran."We will continue to firmly consolidate our status as a nuclear-armed state as an irreversible course, while aggressively stepping up our struggle against hostile forces," Kim told the Supreme People's Assembly."We will, in line with the mission entrusted by the Constitution of the Republic... further expand and advance our self-defensive nuclear deterrent," Kim said, according to the official Korean Central News Agency.While the United States and Israel have said that their attacks on Iran are to stop the Islamic republic from developing nuclear weapons -- an aim Tehran denies -- Pyongyang is thought to be light years ahead by comparison.Despite years of sanctions and diplomatic isolation, the Chinese ally is estimated to have dozens of nuclear warheads and the fissile material for many more.It has also unveiled increasingly sophisticated delivery systems, including new solid?fuel intercontinental ballistic missiles that can launch with little warning.Kim, a day after his reappointment as head of the authoritarian nation's highest policymaking body, the State Affairs Commission, also did not mince words about his southern neighbour."We will designate South Korea as the most hostile state and deal with it by thoroughly rejecting and disregarding it," Kim said.The announcement came despite repeated overtures by President Lee Jae Myung, a doveish leader who took office in June, for dialogue without preconditions. Pyongyang has ignored these gestures.Pyongyang will "make it pay mercilessly -- without the slightest consideration or hesitation -- for any act that infringes upon our Republic," Kim added.- Nuclear guarantee -Hong Min, a senior analyst at the Korea Institute for National Unification, said that Kim's comments on consolidating its nuclear status showed Pyongyang sees US actions in Iran and Venezuela with "deep concern and seriousness"."It indicates that Kim and the leadership... interpret these developments as reinforcing their decision to pursue the further advancement of North Korea's nuclear capabilities," Hong told AFP.Andrei Lankov, a professor at Kookmin University in Seoul, said that: "Iran's experience once again confirmed what the North Koreans have always known, (that) in the modern world, the only security guarantee is, well, nuclear weapons."Donald Trump met Kim in his first term and there has been speculation of a re-run when the US president makes his delayed visit to China next month.Kim, who was greeted with cheering crowds and received a standing ovation in the assembly, said Monday that the US is "carrying out acts of state terrorism and aggression across the world."Washington and its allies "are constantly bringing nuclear strategic assets into the areas surrounding our country, shaking the foundations of regional security," Kim said.This refers to systems capable of carrying nuclear weapons, even if the United States does not actually deploy them with nuclear payloads, explained Lim Eul-chul, an expert on North Korea at Kyungnam University.Pyongyang also thinks it is possible that nuclear-powered submarines that South Korea wants to make could be armed with nuclear weapons -- "a potential that is not entirely unfounded," Lim told AFP.On the economy, Kim outlined a goal of increasing industrial output by 1.5 times.Progress made "shattered... false claims of hostile forces that there can be no prosperity without nuclear abandonment", he said.Kim said 15.8 percent of the total spending for 2026 will be on defence, compared to 15.7 percent in 2025.He also proposed creating a formal "police system," signalling a shift from the traditional reliance on broader public security forces.He said this would strengthen legal frameworks and elevate public order, calling it "essential" for national security and social stability, and "advantageous" to "realise cooperation with police organisations in other countries."
Moldova disconnected from key power line with Europe after Russian strikes on Ukraine.
Chisinau, March 24 (AFP) Mar 24, 2026-Moldova announced on Tuesday that its key power line with Europe was disconnected following overnight Russian strikes in Ukraine, urging citizens to use energy wisely during peak hours.The ex-Soviet country imports electricity from neighbour EU member Romania mostly through a power line which passes through southern Ukraine."Overnight strikes disconnected Moldova's key power link with Europe. Alternative routes are in place, but the situation remains fragile. Russia alone bears responsibility," President Maia Sandu wrote on X.Among the alternative routes used are four other interconnection lines between Romania and Moldova, the government said on Telegram."We urge the public to use energy wisely during peak hours to avoid overloading the electricity transmission and distribution networks," it added.The foreign ministry condemned the Russian attacks."These actions undermine regional energy security and endanger critical civilian infrastructure," it wrote on Telegram.The Issacea-Vulcanesti power line was also affected at the end of January, when disruptions in Ukraine's power grid led to outages both in Moldova and Ukraine.In Moldova, the capital and other towns were left without power for several hours. Traffic and border crossings were managed manually.Moldova produces its own electricity, but also uses imports, mostly from neighbour Romania.Russia has frequently targeted Ukrainian energy infrastructure after the 2022 invasion, with Kyiv saying this winter has been the toughest yet.
Amazon's cloud arm says Bahrain service disrupted after drone attacks.
Dubai, March 24 (AFP) Mar 24, 2026-Amazon's cloud arm told AFP on Tuesday that its service in Bahrain had been disrupted, confirming an earlier report from Reuters, after drone attacks hit the region.An Amazon Web Services (AWS) spokesperson said the disruption was ongoing, without specifying the exact location affected or any potential damage done."The AWS Bahrain Region has been disrupted as a result of the ongoing conflict," the spokesperson said, adding that the company was helping affected customers migrate to AWS servers elsewhere in the world."We are working closely with local authorities and prioritising the safety of our personnel."Since the Middle East war erupted in late February, Bahrain and other Gulf countries have been regularly targeted by Iranian missile and drone strikes in retaliation for the US-Israeli campaign.Iran threatened earlier this month to target US and Israeli economic targets in the Gulf, including banks and other companies.The Tasnim news agency at the time published a list of potential targets on Telegram that included the offices of tech giants such as Amazon, Google, Microsoft and Nvidia in Gulf countries.AWS said in early March that drone strikes damaged two of its data centres in the United Arab Emirates and a facility in Bahrain.AWS is the world's leading cloud computing provider, competing with rivals including Microsoft Azure and Google Cloud to offer infrastructure that underpins popular apps and websites, as well as powering generative AI.mdh/sar/apz/amj/ser
Gas shortages push India's poor back to wood and coal.
New Delhi, March 24 (AFP) Mar 24, 2026-Soaring black-market prices of cooking gas in India's capital are pushing poorer families back to wood and coal, raising health risks and worsening air quality in the highly polluted megacity.India is the world's second-largest buyer of liquefied petroleum gas (LPG), which is used for cooking and predominantly sourced from the Middle East -- and supplies have been strangled by the ongoing war.India's Prime Minister Narendra Modi has urged states to curb black marketing and avoid panic, stressing that India's energy supplies remain stable.In the low-income Madanpur Khadar neighbourhood, 36-year-old domestic helper Sheela Kumari says she has been forced to abandon LPG cooking gas cylinders for cooking after prices more than doubled."We used to buy cylinders for 1,800-2,000 rupees ($19-$21), but now on the black market it has gone up to 5,000 ($53)," she told AFP, nearly as much as she entire monthly salary of 6,000 rupees."It is unimaginable for us," she said. "The next best option for us was going back to wood and coal."Kumari said a 14 kilogramme cylinder lasts only 15-20 days for her family of six, even when they stretch its use out.But she says a 10 kilogramme bundle of firewood, lasting several days, costs 30 rupees ($0.30)."There are health repercussions, and my children cough," she said. "But tell me a way out?"- 'Too expensive' - Her neighbour, 45-year-old Munni Bai, who has asthma, had switched to using an electric cooker as well as biogas from cow dung, to help her breathing.But now she said she was being forced to resume use of alternative fuels."Gas is too expensive," she said. "We cannot depend on it -- we moved from coal and wood, due to my health issue, but now it is difficult to sustain."But activists say the problem is more about access.Many migrant workers lack documentation needed for subsidised LPG and rely on informal markets, where hoarding has pushed up prices."There is no major shortage yet, but hoarding has increased," said Deepak, who uses only one name, from the Centre for Advocacy and Research (CFAR)."Many migrants depend on black-market cylinders, and prices have gone up two to three times".New Delhi, and its wider sprawling metropolitan region of 30 million residents, is regularly ranked among the world's most polluted capitals, due to a deadly mix of emissions from power plants, heavy traffic, as well as the burning of rubbish and crops.For the past decades, India's government has pushed its "Ujjwala" or "light" clean-energy scheme, to provide over 100 million LPG connections to poor households.Burning wood, coal and biomass indoors exposes families to high levels of smoke and toxic particles, increasing the risk of respiratory illnesses.Women and children, who spend more time near cooking areas, are especially vulnerable.
Spain PM Sanchez to visit China April 13-15.
Madrid, March 23 (AFP) Mar 23, 2026-Spanish Prime Minister Pedro Sanchez will travel to China from April 13 to 15 for an official visit, his office said on Monday, without giving further details of his schedule.The visit, Sanchez's fourth trip to China in as many years, comes in the wake of the Spanish leader's fervent criticism of US President Donald Trump over the war against Iran, an economic partner of Beijing's.The Socialist premier has doubled down on his refrain of "no to the war" and refused Washington's requests to use Madrid's military bases against Iran, despite Trump's threat to sever trade with Spain as a result.On the foreign policy front, Sanchez has sought to help Spanish companies break into new markets and find new investors for the eurozone's fourth-largest economy.The upcoming trip comes at a time when oil prices have soared due to Iran's de facto blockade of the Strait of Hormuz, a strategic choke point for global crude and natural gas supplies, in retaliation for the US-Israeli strikes.China has been bracing for the economic fallout from the Middle East, as more than half of Beijing's seaborne crude imports come from the region, most of which pass through the strait, according to the Kpler analysis firm.On his last visit to Beijing in April 2025, the Socialist leader told a press conference following his meeting with China's President Xi Jinping that tensions over trade should not impede cooperation between the European Union and China.For his part, Xi urged Sanchez and the European Union to join hands to resist "unilateral bullying", referring to Trump's imposition of swingeing trade tariffs.rbj/sbk/db
Australia, EU agree sweeping new trade pact eight years in the works.
Canberra, March 24 (AFP) Mar 24, 2026-The European Union and Australia struck a long-awaited free-trade deal on Tuesday, while also agreeing to boost defence cooperation and access to crucial rare-earth minerals in the face of global uncertainty over trade.EU chief Ursula von der Leyen's visit to Australia comes as the 27-nation bloc and the import-reliant nation navigate renewed energy vulnerability sparked by the war in the Middle East.The accord is the latest agreed by Brussels in a push to diversify trade as Europe faces challenges from the United States and China.Key sticking points on Australian use of European geographical names as well as how much beef can be exported to the continent were overcome to reach the deal after eight years of negotiations.Another compromise will see Australian winemakers allowed to use the term "prosecco" domestically, but they must stop using it for exports after 10 years.Australia will also be allowed to keep using some geographical names, such as feta and gruyere, in cases where producers have used the name for at least five years.And European carmakers will benefit from Australia raising the threshold for a luxury car tax on electric vehicles -- three-quarters will now be exempt.The two sides also agreed to step up defence cooperation as well as critical raw materials.Addressing the Australian parliament on Tuesday, von der Leyen described a world that was "brutal, harsh and unforgiving".In that context, she said the EU and Australia were bound by common values and must work together to mitigate over-reliance on countries such as China for rare-earth minerals."We cannot be over dependent on any supplier for such crucial ingredients, and that is precisely why we need each other," she said."Our security is your security, and with our new security and defence partnership, we have each other's back."Beijing's foreign ministry urged the EU on Tuesday to abandon its "zero-sum thinking"."We hope the European side will... refrain from adopting protectionist measures, and view China's development in a rational and objective light," spokesman Lin Jian said when asked at a regular news briefing about von der Leyen's comments.- A 'fair deal' -Von der Leyen told Australian lawmakers that Tuesday's agreement on trade was a "fair deal, and one that delivers for your businesses and one that delivers for our businesses".Under the deal, the EU said it expected exports to Australia to grow by a third over a decade.The quota of Australian beef allowed into the bloc will increase more than 10 times the current level over the next decade, although that falls short of what Australian farmers had been seeking.Australia's National Farmers' Federation said it was "extremely disappointed" by the outcome of the deal."What the Australian government has accepted today appears to offer no material change for key agricultural commodities as what the government rightly rejected in October 2023," president Hamish McIntyre said.EU firms exported 37 billion euros (US$42.9 billion) of goods to Australia last year, and 31 billion euros of services in 2024.And Australia said the deal could add AU$7.8 billion (US$5.4 billion) to its gross domestic product by 2030.Australia's largest export market is China, and the United States is its largest source of investment.However, Canberra has redoubled efforts to diversify export markets for farmers since a 2020 dispute with Beijing saw agriculture shipments blocked for several years, and the global imposition of US tariffs last year.Likewise, the EU is on a drive to strike new partnerships in the face of US levies and Chinese export controls.Von der Leyen's visit was overshadowed by the war in the Middle East, which has sent oil prices soaring.The EU chief said this month the conflict had served as a "stark reminder" of Europe's vulnerabilities.And on Tuesday she called for an immediate end to hostilities in the face of a "critical" situation for energy supply chains globally.Australia -- which is heavily reliant on fuel from abroad -- has also felt the pressure from the global energy squeeze.
Russia, Vietnam advance plans for first nuclear power plant.
Moscow, March 23 (AFP) Mar 23, 2026-Russia and Vietnam on Monday signed a cooperation agreement on the construction of Vietnam's first nuclear power plant, Russia's Rosatom nuclear agency said on Monday.Prime Minister Pham Minh Chinh was visiting energy-rich Russia as Vietnam seeks to shore up its fuel reserves at a time of disruption to energy supplies caused by the war in the Middle East, sparking fears of fuel shortages around the world.Since the US-Israeli war against Iran began in late February, the cost of 95-octane petrol and diesel in Vietnam, a manufacturing hub, has soared by 50 percent and 70 percent respectively.The agreement lays out the legal framework for the construction of two reactors with a total output of 2400 MW at Vietnam's proposed Ninh Thuan nuclear power plant, Rostam said.Rosatom head Alexey Likhachev said the agreement would be the "foundation for a long-term industrial partnership, which will strengthen Vietnam's energy independence and open up new opportunities for economic growth".No timeline was given for when construction would start or when the plant might come online.Moscow and Hanoi had initially agreed to build the Ninh Thuan 1 atomic power station back in 2010, but later decided to suspend construction.Another agreement between Russia's top liquefied natural gas (LNG) producer Novatek and a Vietnamese buyer was also signed recently, Novatek's CEO Leonid Mikhelson said on Monday."We have been in negotiations with potential buyers for over five years, and have very recently signed a preliminary supply agreement with one of them. We are ready to commence deliveries at the earliest opportunity," he told state broadcaster Rossiya 24, without naming the customer.Russia and Vietnam have also signed a deal on oil and gas production in both countries, the TASS state news agency reported, citing Russian Prime Minister Mikhail Mishustin, without giving details.
