Libanon: Tote, Verletzte und gravierende Schäden am Krankenhaus nach israelischem Luftangriff in Sour

Ärzte ohne Grenzen verurteilt den Luftangriff der israelischen Armee am 1. Juni in der Nähe des Dschabal-Amel-Krankenhauses in Sour. Nach Angaben des Gesundheitsministeriums sind bislang vier Menschen getötet und 127 verletzt worden, darunter 39 Mitarbeitende des Krankenhauses, das von Ärzte ohne Grenzen unterstützt wird.

Vier der verletzten Mitarbeitenden befinden sich in kritischem Zustand und werden auf der Intensivstation behandelt. Die Gesamtzahl der Toten und Verletzten könnte noch steigen, aus den Trümmern werden noch immer Menschen geborgen.

Der Angriff verursachte schwere Schäden am Dschabal-Amel-Krankenhaus, unter anderem an der stationären Abteilung, der Radiologie und der Intensivstation. Die Wand eines Operationssaals wurde schwer beschädigt, und das medizinische Team musste die Hälfte der Patient*innen von der Intensivstation verlegen, um ihre Sicherheit zu gewährleisten

Southern Lebanon: Death, injury and significant damage after Israeli airstrike in Sour (Tyre)

MSF condemns the airstrike carried out by the Israeli army on the evening of 1 June in the vicinity of Jabal Amel Hospital, which we support, in Sour (Tyre). According to the Ministry of Public Health, the attack has so far resulted in four deaths and 127 injuries, including 39 hospital staff. Among the injured staff, four are in critical condition and remain under treatment in intensive care. Bodies are still being recovered from the rubble, and the total number of dead and injured could still rise.

The strike caused severe damage to Jabal Amel Hospital itself, including its inpatient department, radiology department and intensive care unit. One wall of an operating room has been severely damaged, leaving a large hole, and the medical team had to urgently transfer half of the remaining patients in the intensive care unit to another ward to ensure their safety.

Netanyahu Orders Israeli Military to Attack Beirut Suburbs

The announcement by Mr. Netanyahu prompted thousands of residents to flee their homes, clogging the roads out of the area late Monday morning. For many residents, the sudden exodus has become a miserable routine over nearly three years of conflicts between Hezbollah and Israel.

“I lost count of how many times I’ve evacuated,” said Zahra Khomasi, 43, as she sat in her car in Tayouneh on the outskirts of Dahiya.

Iranian forces strike US vessels in swift retaliation for tanker attack: Top military comm

In a separate but simultaneous incident, another Iranian ship came under attack while entering the Strait of Hormuz, directly opposite the UAE‘s Fujairah port.

Concurrent with these fresh acts of aggression, the spokesperson said that US forces, operating in coordination with certain countries in the region, launched airstrikes against civilian areas in the coastal provinces.

These aerial attacks reportedly targeted locations along the coasts of Bandar Khamir, Sirik, and Qeshm Island.

According to the statement, Iran‘s response was immediate and decisive.

The armed forces of the Islamic Republic of Iran launched a swift counterattack, engaging US military vessels east of the Strait of Hormuz and south of the port of Bandar Chabahar.

The Iranian operation inflicted „significant damage“ on the American warships, he said.

Blasts rock Tehran after a period of relative calm

(3 hours ago)

We hear sounds related to the activation of the air defence system, and also the state news agency IRNA reported two blasts taking place in the Iranian capital.

In the southern areas of the country, we know that in the city of Minab, the governor came out to confirm attacks on a maritime base.

In the city of Bandar Abbas, as well, several explosions were reported. Meanwhile, they’ve got the joint military headquarters coming out to confirm the attacks on Bandar Khamir and Sirik.

Also, they said that US attacks have targeted two Iranian ships, one oil tanker and another vessel, which is sort of escalating the tensions in this already intricate situation.

Verhaltensscanner in Hamburg: „Die Polizei wird zum Datenlieferanten“

Die Deutungen der vermeintlichen Vorzüge dieser KI-Überwachung finden sich insbesondere prominent im Mediendiskurs, der von Akteur*innen der inneren Sicherheit und ihren Bewertungen geprägt ist. Kritische Positionen kommen vor, aber werden nicht zum Anlass der Berichterstattung. Was sich da im Diskurs zeigt, nennen wir eine Purifizierung, eine rituelle Läuterung also, durch die bisherige zentrale Kritiken an Formen der Videoüberwachung direkt adressiert und gleichzeitig abgestreift werden. Die Purifizierung erhöht die Durchsetzbarkeit der Maßnahme, weil die Bewegungsmusteranalyse jetzt als sozusagen gute Überwachung erscheint.

Over 100 International Law Experts Warn: U.S. Strikes on Iran Violate UN Charter and May Be War Crimes

We collectively affirm the importance of equal application of international law to all, including countries that hold themselves out as global leaders. Recent statements from senior U.S. government officials describing the rules governing military engagement as “stupid” and prioritizing “lethality” over “legality” are profoundly alarming and dangerously short-sighted. These claims, particularly in combination with the observable conduct of U.S. forces, are harming the international legal order and the system of international law that we have devoted our lives to promoting.

The war, which is costing U.S. taxpayers between $1-2 billion each day, is imposing significant harm to civilians in the region, has resulted in the loss of hundreds of civilian lives across the Middle East, and is causing serious environmental and economic harms.

We write to express our concern about 1) jus ad bellum, or the decision to go to war, 2) jus in bello, or the conduct of hostilities, 3) rhetoric and threats from senior U.S. officials and their allies, which portend further abuses, and 4) the decimation of civilian harm mitigation structures within the U.S. government as a part of U.S. Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth’s “gloves off” approach to warfare.

Watch Live: Bondi testifies at House hearing amid scrutiny over Epstein files

What to know about the Bondi hearing today:

– Attorney General Pam Bondi is testifying before the House Judiciary Committee on Wednesday as the Justice Department continues to face questions about its handling of the release of the Jeffrey Epstein files.

– The department has published millions of pages of documents related to Epstein, a convicted sex offender who died in federal custody in 2019. But extensive redactions and the delayed nature of the release have fueled allegations that the department has failed to fulfill its obligations under the new law requiring the disclosures.

– The hearing also comes after the Justice Department tried and failed to indict six Democratic members of Congress over a video they filmed in November telling members of the military and intelligence community that they must disobey illegal orders. A grand jury declined to sign off on charges against the lawmakers on Tuesday, multiple sources told CBS News.

– Bondi is likely to face questions about investigations by the Justice Department and FBI into the shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good by federal immigration officers in Minnesota last month.

Rep. Thompson kicks off Homeland Security hearing by saying federal officers acted like „goons“

In his opening statement at the House Homeland Security Committee hearing, Democratic Rep. Bennie Thompson heavily criticized the Department of Homeland Security for “running roughshod over Americans’ rights.”

Thompson, who focused on the killings of two US citizens Renee Nicole Good and Alex Pretti in Minnesota last month, accused DHS of “threatening our very democracy,” adding that the federal government’s refusal to investigate Good’s shooting was akin to an admission of guilt.

Democrats unify behind a hardball strategy on DHS funding

And even with a DHS shutdown on the horizon — or what’s supposed to be a shutdown, anyway — Democrats are holding the line.

“Our position has been clear: Dramatic changes are needed at the Department of Homeland Security before a DHS funding bill moves forward,” House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries of New York said Monday when asked if he’d support a short-term funding patch for DHS. “Period. Full stop.”

Mike Johnson told not to count on Dems‘ votes to end shutdown

Democrats are hesitant to vote for the package because it contains a two-week stopgap funding bill for the Department of Homeland Security that lacks reform measures for ICE or Customs and Border Protection.

Senate Democrats were split almost evenly on the measure in a Friday night vote, with the 23 Democrats who voted for it facing swift backlash from progressive groups who accused them of essentially voting to fund ICE.

More Than 300 Anti-ICE Protests Planned Across US This Weekend

More than 300 demonstrations are expected to take place across all 50 states and Washington DC, today, in what organizers are calling “ICE Out of Everywhere”.

Organizers, led by the national grassroots organization 50501, say today’s protests are a response to a series of recent deaths involving federal immigration agents, including the fatal shootings of Alex Pretti and Renee Good in Minneapolis earlier this month, the homicide of Geraldo Campos in an immigration detention facility in Texas and the shooting of Keith Porter Jr by an off-duty Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) officer in Los Angeles.

The Polls Are Clear. Americans Don’t Want This.

(January 29, 2026)

Driving this is Americans’ belief that Mr. Trump’s policies are not delivering on the safety and security he promised — in fact, now quite the opposite. On one side of the ledger, there is a decreasing sense that roundups and deportations by federal agents are focused on true security threats. On the other, there is rising anxiety that the presence of an armed federal force in cities is actively making daily life less safe for people who live there.

Fox News Poll: 59% of voters say ICE is too aggressive, up 10 points since July

(January 28, 2026)

Fifty-nine percent of voters characterize ICE as „too aggressive,“ a 10-point increase since July 2025. This sentiment is increasingly defined by a shift in the center: the perception of ICE as too aggressive is up 14 points among Whites without a college degree, 19 points among moderates, and 22 points among independents. A similar shift is seen among right-leaning groups, including Trump voters (+9 more aggressive), Republican women (+14), and non-MAGA Republicans (+23).
