Good morning.
The UN human rights office (OHCHR) has said that Israel may be causing the “destruction of the Palestinian population in Gaza’s northernmost governorate through death and displacement” with its latest military campaign there.
What have been recent targets of Israeli airstrikes? Several Palestinians were reportedly killed and others injured late on Sunday when Israeli airstrikes hit two schools housing displaced people in Jabaliya, the area in northern Gaza that Israel has placed under siege for more than two weeks.
What’s the latest with Israel’s invasion of southern Lebanon? Israeli forces have “deliberately demolished an observation tower and perimeter fence of a UN position in Marwahin”, the UN peacekeeping mission said on Sunday.
What’s the situation with Iran and the wider region? The US government is investigating an unauthorised release of classified documents that assess Israel’s plans to attack Iran.
Wait, is that legal? Several legal experts said the petition may violate federal election laws that prohibit paying or offering to pay for someone to register to vote.
