Israel built secret base in Iraqi desert during war with Iran

The Israeli Defense Forces built a secret military base in the Iraqi desert in February to support Operation Roaring Lion, an airstrike campaign against Iran, according to the Wall Street Journal citing US officials and people familiar with the operation. The facility housed Air Force special forces and served as a logistics hub; in March, Iraqi troops nearly discovered the base after a shepherd reported unusual helicopter activity, prompting the IDF to conduct airstrikes that killed one Iraqi soldier, leading Baghdad to lodge a UN complaint.

Lebanon says Israeli strikes killed 39

Lebanon's health ministry reported 39 killed in Israeli strikes across the country on Saturday, including at least seven in Saksakiyeh and a Syrian national and his 12-year-old daughter in Nabatieh; the ministry said the girl underwent life-saving surgery after being struck three times by a drone. The strikes continued despite a ceasefire agreement announced on 16 April, with the Israeli military stating it targets Hezbollah infrastructure and personnel, while Hezbollah responded with a drone attack that wounded three Israeli soldiers.

Ben Gvir branded 'hangman of the century' over push for Palestinian executions

The Red Ribbons Campaign, a human rights group, condemned Israeli National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir's push for death penalty legislation targeting Palestinians, describing him as the "hangman of the century" and warning that detainees could face execution under proposed measures. Ben Gvir has publicly advocated for the death penalty since the Knesset approved the legislation in March; the group stated he must face "the highest level of scrutiny and accountability" for promoting execution within a detention system marked by "deep inequality."

Israeli settlers force Palestinian family to exhume and rebury their father

Israeli settlers in Asasa village near Jenin forced a Palestinian family to exhume and rebury their father, Hussein Asasa, 80, after claiming the cemetery lay on settlement land; Israeli soldiers were present during the confrontation, and the UN Human Rights Office condemned the incident as "appalling and emblematic of the dehumanisation of Palestinians." The Israeli military denied instructing the reburial, stating soldiers were deployed to prevent further friction after receiving reports of a settler confrontation, while the family's son said the original burial had been coordinated with Israeli security forces in advance.

Russia and Iran use Caspian Sea trade route to aid Tehran drone program

Russia is shipping drone components to Iran via the Caspian Sea to rebuild Tehran's offensive capabilities, according to US officials cited by the New York Times. The route circumvents traditional shipping lanes and international sanctions monitoring, with four Caspian ports operating continuously; analysts note the waterway's opacity makes it difficult to track military transfers between the two allies.

Israel to release two detained Gaza flotilla activists

Israeli authorities will release Spanish-Palestinian activist Saif Abu Keshek and Brazilian Thiago Avila on Saturday, according to their lawyer and the rights group Adalah; the pair were detained after Israeli forces intercepted the Global Sumud Flotilla in international waters off Greece in an attempt to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The activists will be handed to immigration authorities for deportation to their home countries, ending their detention without formal charges, though Israeli authorities accused them of affiliations with "terrorist organisations," claims their legal team dismissed as baseless.

More Lebanese see peace with Israel as necessity after war

Lebanese journalist Hanin Ghaddar and analyst Pierre Diab argue that growing war fatigue and disillusionment with Hezbollah's Iran-aligned "resistance" ideology have shifted public opinion across Lebanon's sectarian communities toward accepting peace with Israel, with Diab estimating more than half of Lebanese—including roughly a third of Shi'ites—now favor ending the conflict. Both acknowledge Hezbollah's current isolation and weakened legitimacy but stress that disarming the organization and achieving peace will require sustained political will from Lebanon's military and leadership, a process they argue should proceed simultaneously rather than sequentially.

Reporters Notebook : Israel northern border amid peace and war

On May 9, the Israel–Lebanon border remained under alert as clashes between the IDF and Hezbollah continued despite an active ceasefire, with the IDF reporting it struck over 85 Hezbollah infrastructure sites in the past 24 hours and intercepted an explosive drone near the border, while Hezbollah retaliated with rocket fire toward the Krayot north of Haifa. The correspondent's account describes a landscape of military fortification and cautious normalcy—evacuated border communities now reopened, armored shelters installed, and civilians gradually returning to routine activities, though the threat from Hezbollah's FPV drones and ongoing cross-border exchanges persists.

Gaza at the Venice Biennale: Where language falls short, threads take over

A journalist and curator co-commissioned the Gaza Genocide Tapestry, featuring 100 embroidered panels created by Palestinian women in Gaza, the West Bank, and refugee camps in Lebanon and Jordan, which will be exhibited at the Venice Biennale starting May 9 under the title "Gaza – No Words – See The Exhibit." The project uses traditional Palestinian tatreez embroidery—each panel composed of 55,000 stitches—to document Gaza's destruction in real time, with the curator arguing that language proves inadequate to convey the scale of devastation and that needle and thread offer an alternative form of testimony and resistance to erasure.

Opinion: Germany's 'constructive dialogue' is a sham, a cloak used to shield its support of a genocidal regime

On 21 April, Germany, together with Italy, blocked a motion by Spain, Ireland, and Slovenia to suspend the EU-Israel trade agreement over Israel’s human rights violations, its genocidal war against Gaza, and settler violence in the occupied West Bank. Germany’s Foreign Minister Johann Wadephul declared the three countries’ move to be "inappropriate", saying: "We have to talk with Israel about the critical issues… that has to be done in a critical, constructive dialogue with Israel.
