The Congress on Tuesday deleted its post on X targeting Prime Minister Narendra Modi, saying he was missing in action during the all-party meet to discuss the Pahalgam terror attack.

The Taj Mahal hotel in Mumbai, India, temporarily increased security after being warned of a possible terrorist attack, the chairman of the company that owns the hotel said Saturday.
But Tata Group Chairman Ratan Tata said those measures, which were eased shortly before this week‘s terror attacks, could not have prevented gunmen from entering the hotel.
„If I look at what we had … it could not have stopped what took place,“ Tata said in an interview with CNN‘s Fareed Zakaria that will air Sunday.

Inputs travelled back and forth between the Intelligence Bureau, the R&AW, Military Intelligence, Signals Intelligence, the Coast Guard, the Maharashtra State Police and other agencies. As and when found necessary, civilian units like private firms, or hotels were given information.
For example, some time in August, the IB told the Taj Group to be careful about an attack on the hotel. It did not specify that it may come from the sea, but said it could be around September 11, and foreigners could be prime targets, sources said.

In a fiery post on X, Raj questioned Tharoorâs loyalty to the party, saying, âAccording to you Congress should guarantee foolproof intelligence to BJP and nothing should be asked of the BJP.â

The document circulated widely among Israeli military and intelligence leaders, but experts determined that an attack of that scale and ambition was beyond Hamasâs capabilities, according to documents and officials. It is unclear whether Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or other top political leaders saw the document, as well.
(…)
Last year, shortly after the document was obtained, officials in the Israeli militaryâs Gaza division, which is responsible for defending the border with Gaza, said that Hamasâs intentions were unclear.
âIt is not yet possible to determine whether the plan has been fully accepted and how it will be manifested,â read a military assessment reviewed by The Times.

Congress MP Shashi Tharoor on Sunday appeared to dismiss criticisms of the government‘s intelligence services in the aftermath of the Pahalgam terror attack and stated that no country had foolproof intelligence, citing an example of the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023.
#Shashi Tharoor said there are operations that are successful but we only get to know about the terror attacks that the agencies failed to thwart.
âNo country can ever have a foolproof 100 per cent intelligence. We will never know about the various terror attacks that were successfully thwarted.
The Government of Change and Construction said in a statement issued today, „With typical British impudence, the British Ministry of Defense announced the implementation of a joint military aggression with the American enemy against our country, south of Sana‘a, in response, the Government of Change and Construction affirms that the British enemy must reckon with its predicament and anticipate the consequences of its aggression against the Republic of Yemen.“
âThis action was taken in response to a persistent threat from the Houthis to freedom of navigation,â U.K. Defense Secretary John Healey said. âA 55% drop in shipping through the Red Sea has already cost billions, fueling regional instability and risking economic security for families in the U.K.â

Sana‘a – Saba:
Civiliansâwomen and childrenâalong with densely populated homes and neighborhoods, bustling markets, commercial shops, cemeteries, and civilian facilities and properties.
This is the target bank of the American enemy since the beginning of its brutal aggression against the Yemeni people, which escalated last Sunday evening with an attack on the crowded residential area and market of Fura in the capital‘s municipality.
There was no immediate comment from the American military about the operation, which the British Defense Ministry said early Wednesday was carried out overnight âto degrade Houthi capabilities and prevent further attacks against U.K. and international shipping.â
Typhoon jets using precision guided bombs took part in the mission, the ministry said in a statement. The target was âa cluster of buildings, used by the Houthis to manufacture drones of the type used to attack ships in the Red Sea and Gulf of Aden, located some 15 miles south of Sana,â the statement added, referring to the Yemeni capital.

Israel‘s military said on Monday that it carried out more than 50 airstrikes across Lebanon in April, despite a ceasefire that has been effective since November 2024.
In a statement, the military said it conducted the strikes „following violations of the ceasefire and understandings between Israel and Lebanon, which posed a threat to the State of Israel and its citizens.“
Human rights organisation Amnesty International on Tuesday accused Israel of committing a „live-streamed genocide“ against Palestinians in Gaza by forcibly displacing most of the population and deliberately creating a humanitarian catastrophe.
In its annual report, Amnesty charged that Israel had acted with „specific intent to destroy Palestinians in Gaza, thus committing genocide“.
Brazilâs representative, Ambassador to the court Marcelo Viegas, summed up the present situation: âThe ongoing catastrophe in Gaza, now reaching 18 months, has already claimed over 51,000 lives, most of whom women and children. After a brief ceasefire, during which hostages were released and desperately needed humanitarian aid was temporarily allowed to reach the population of Gaza, Israel resumed blocking food, medicine, and other essential supplies from entering the territory, restarted its attacks, and launched a new ground offensive in Gaza. 6. In this troubling context, the present advisory opinion is sorely and urgently needed.â
South Africa Tuesday intensified its legal and diplomatic campaign at the International Court of Justice (ICJ), accusing Israel of breaching international law through its occupation and military actions in Gaza and the West Bank.
Speaking before ICJ in The Hague, Zane Dangor, director-general of South Africaâs Department of International Relations and Cooperation, painted a stark picture of life for Palestinians, referencing United Nations reports describing Gaza as a âkilling fieldâ and warning of a man-made famine.
