Israel is threatening to destroy Tyre. Tyre (Sour) is Lebanese. But also part of world history: cradle of Phoenician seafaring, source of Tyrian purple - the colour of Roman Emperors, the birthplace of Stoicism, and site of Alexander’s famous siege. An assault on us all.

𝗕𝗥𝗘𝗔𝗞𝗜𝗡𝗚 🛑 The U.S. leader of the Catholic bishops is calling to reject antisemitism and the lies spread about Jews, and says there must be consequences.

Former U.S. National Counterterrorism Center Director Joe Kent: "I will not in good conscience send young men and women off to die on foreign battlefields...We're at a critical juncture in the war in Iran; we need to let our leaders hear that we do not support this war."

Our correspondent Steve Sweeney has been wounded by an Israeli strike in Lebanon. He says an IDF plane fired upon the car carrying Steve and his cameraman, as they were crossing a bridge in the south of the country. Both men are conscious in hospital, doctors are diagnosing extent of shrapnel damage. War journalists are not legitimate targets. We pray for them.

Israel says it is bombing bridges to disrupt Hezbollah supply lines. But on the ground the reality is stark: entire routes into southern Lebanon are being severed — effectively cutting off around 1 million people from their homes. Families who have lived on this land for generations now face the very real risk of permanent displacement, unable to return, rebuild, or even reach what remains of their communities. What is being framed as a military tactic is also reshaping the map of civilian life
