      Israel hits Gaza as conflict flares after West Bank clashes

      Israeli jets struck Gaza overnight on Friday in retaliation for two rockets fired by Palestinian militants, further escalating tensions after one of the worst days of violence in the occupied West Bank in years. © Thomson Reuters The rockets fired from Gaza overnight set off alarms in Israeli communities near the border with the southern coastal strip controlled by the Islamist movement Hamas but there were no reports of casualties.

Another man died in a separate incident in al-Ramm outside Jerusalem, bringing…

      Deadly chemical attack was work of Syria’s air force, watchdog finds

      A chemical strike that killed 43 people in the Syrian city of Douma in 2018 was almost certainly the work of Syria’s air force, a watchdog has found. An investigation by the global chemical weapons watchdog has established there are “reasonable grounds to believe” Syria‘s air force dropped two cylinders containing chlorine gas in what was called “one of the worst chemical attacks in Syrian history”. The report by the Organisation for the Prohibition of Chemical Weapons (OPCW) offered the latest confirmation that the regime of Syrian President Bashar al Assad used chemical weapons during his country’s grinding civil war. The organisation said “reasonable grounds to believe” is the standard of proof consistently adopted by international fact-finding bodies and commissions of inquiry.…

      Poland will send 60 more tanks to Ukraine, on top of the 14 it has already pledged to the war effort, the Polish prime minister has said. The country has angled itself as one of Ukraine’s key allies in its war with Russia, and had already pledged to hand over 14 German-made Leopard 2 tanks, after lobbying Berlin to allow other countries to do so. Speaking to Canadian television, Mateusz Morawiecki, Poland’s prime minister said: “Poland sent 250 tanks as the first country half a year ago or even more than that. “Right now, we are ready to send 60 of our modernised tanks, 30 of them PT-91.

      UK failing to address systemic racism against black people, warn UN experts

      A UN body has written to the UK government to express “very extreme concern” about its failure to address “structural, institutional and systemic racism” against people of African descent in Britain. The UN working group of experts on people of African descent called for an immediate and unconditional moratorium on the use of joint enterprise, warning it was leading to the disproportionate imprisonment of black adolescents. In the damning interim findings that concluded a 10-day fact-finding mission, the experts also called for an immediate moratorium on the use of strip searches during stop and searches by police. “We have serious concerns about impunity and the failure to address racial disparities in the criminal justice system, deaths in police custody, ‘joint…

      Palestinian militants ‘ready to die’ as prospect of all-out war increases

      Posters celebrating dead militants are stuck to the walls. Children are everywhere – more than half the population of the camp is under 25. We were escorted to meet fighters from Al Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigade, one of the largest and oldest militant groups in the West Bank. They are a proscribed terror group by Israel, the EU and US, but not the UK. Out front, I turned a corner and they were there – dressed all in black, M16 assault rifles in hand and balaclavas covering their faces. They are young men, heavily armed and say they are ready to die defending their land. We made our introductions and then moved down another alleyway – an Israeli military lookout post was…

      Truck-sized asteroid to come ‘extraordinarily close’ to Earth: NASA

      WASHINGTON: A truck-sized asteroid will pass near Earth on Thursday in one of the closest approaches to our planet ever recorded, NASA said, emphasising that it poses no danger. Asteroid 2023 BU, which was recently discovered by an amateur astronomer, will zoom by the southern tip of South America at around 4:27 pm PST on Thursday (0027 GMT Friday), according to NASA. It will pass just 2,200 miles (3,600 kilometres) from Earth’s surface, much closer than many geostationary satellites orbiting the planet. But there is no risk that the asteroid will hit Earth, NASA said in a statement on Wednesday. Even if it did, the asteroid measuring 3.5-8.5 metres (11-28 feet) across would largely disintegrate in the Earth’s atmosphere, potentially just…
