The world's focus is on the conflict with Iran But in the Occupied West Bank settler attacks & restrictions on Palestinians are intensifying We visited the village of Duma, its one exit / entrance has been closed off by the Israeli army Settlers standing guard tried to stop us walking in Clip from our latest report With @EP_Lawrence @Stanleigh77

As the world watches the Strait of Hormuz, the Islamic Republic is intensifying repression inside Iran. As IHRNGO Director @iranhr Mahmood Amiry-Moghaddam told Channel 4: by executing protesters, the authorities are sending a direct warning to society, “this is what happens if you stand against us.” Their real existential fear is the Iranian people. Since mid-March, at least 22 political prisoners have been executed, around half linked to January’s protests , and hundreds more may face death penalty charges.

Here’s our piece from Nabatieh in Southern Lebanon just hours before the ceasefire came into place. We were covering the funeral of one of four paramedics targeted and killed by an Israeli triple-tap strike the day before. At the nearby hospital where we were about to interview the head of the paramedic charity, who himself had lost his young son just three weeks before to an airstrike, we found ourselves pinned down as jets attacked targets around us. Extraordinarily, despite having just attended the funerals of their colleagues, the medics calmly put on their protective equipment and started to respond. #nabatieh #lebanon #c4news

Israel has destroyed bridges across southern Lebanon, increasingly cutting it off from the rest of the country Our report from the heavily bombed city of Tyre ⬇️ Features a wonderful exchange w/ a woman named Madonna who refuses to leave despite Israeli evacuation orders (Broadcast last week but forgot to share here) With @EP_Lawrence @Stanleigh77

"Bury me along with your two eyes, my love" Our report on some of the latest devastating Israeli airstrikes in Lebanon - and the children being killed Many of the tactics, look to be a repeat of the awful patterns seen in Gaza, just today: Israel has killed 5 paramedics in a single attack (more in others) and 3 Lebanese journalists With @EP_Lawrence

Baby Hasan was just 3 months old… barely older than this war He was killed along with his mother in one of two Israeli strikes around Saksakiyeh, southern Lebanon yesterday Here a neighbour holds up the baby’s t-shirt and car seat, pulled from the rubble The other strike y’day killed two children and their uncle More than 120 children have been killed in Lebanon since the war between Israel and Hezbollah began

Our report from the funeral of two young paramedics killed in an Israeli strike in the city of Nabatieh, southern Lebanon The targeting of first responders by Israel is a pattern we’ve seen in Gaza, in Lebanon in 2024 and now we’re seeing here again The Israeli army did not respond to our questions about the strike

Awful, heartbreaking, unacceptable We’ve just been at the funeral of two young volunteer paramedics in southern Lebanon - killed in a direct Israeli strike… one was only 16 years old They were killed whilst wearing their full kit according to witnesses - returning from the scene of an earlier strike The deliberate targeting of healthcare workers is a war crime but Israel has killed dozens here in recent weeks (and many more in 2024 and in Gaza)

After three weeks of war, the toll on Iranian civilians is mounting fast. Parastesh Dahaghin was a young pharmacist killed in an explosion while she was at work. Berivan Molani was in bed when debris from an air strike in Tehran struck her head. bbc.co.uk/news/articles/…

An Israeli airstrike on a residential apartment in Bchamoun, near the capital Beirut, has left at least three people dead, including a three-year-old girl, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry.

Clip from our interview with leading Hezbollah MP Ibrahim Al Moussawi Some in Lebanon accuse the group of dragging the country into a war on behalf of Iran Watch his response to that and other questions here:

Our report from the Beqaa Valley amidst the war between Israel & Hezbollah Around 1,100 people have been killed in Lebanon & one million displaced When Hezbollah first fired on Israel earlier this month, some supporters seemed critical of the move, knowing the destruction Israel would unleash Now though, Hezbollah’s base looks to be rallying around the flag @EP_Lawrence @Stanleigh77

Israel strikes main south Lebanon bridge and orders destruction of homes channel4.com/news/israel-st…

“Blowing up bridges doesn’t just cut off a road—it shatters that simple feeling that there is always a way back home...” A tender reflection on the Qasmiyeh bridge which Israel targeted with an air strike earlier this afternoon

"They came to kill us" Horrific POV footage of a brutal attack by settlers on unarmed Israeli activists - who were helping protect a Palestinian village One woman, in her 70s, had her skull fractured Settler violence - already high in the Occupied West Bank - is growing even worse, with 5 Palestinians killed in the past fortnight Meanwhile the Israeli govt is introducing new measures making it easier for settlers to buy land in the West Bank - and for the state to demolish more Palestinian homes And the army has introduced new restrictions on movement in the territory since the war with Iran began Watch our full report here: @EP_Lawrence

A resident of #Tehran #Iran told me yesterday: "People are divided into two groups. One group of people think that when the war ends, good things will happen. They think Pahlavi will take power, sanctions will be lifted, and our relations with the world will be good. That we will build a country." "But the other group think that many cities have been destroyed, many people have died, and another man has become supreme leader who is not much different from his father. Those people think that nothing good will happen when this war ends, and that there is risk of civil war and disintegration. Even if these two things don’t happen, they think that the country will become more like a dictatorship. The economy will get worse and the destroyed infrastructure will not be repaired. I am in the second group."

Spill of oil in the sewage system has created a flowing burning river in parts of #Tehran after oil depots were bombed earlier tonight, setting the streets in the Iranian capital on fire.
