On assignment for @thetimes in Donbas, I met recon teams from Ukraine’s Black Forest Brigade, who call in Storm Shadow and HIMARS strikes deep behind enemy lines. Although the Russians are still driving forward here, the brigade is making them pay a heavy price… 1/

Never thought we’d see a technocratic government in Syria before Lebanon — & never thought I would ever report from my hometown. 1st byline from Damascus, 1st byline with @rayajalabi. New world. Our read on the most bonkers meeting we’ve ever sat in on: ft.com/content/7efc20…

Sky News analysis finds Israeli soldiers pushed at least four apparently lifeless bodies off a building in the occupied West Bank. Latest from me: news.sky.com/story/sky-news… + thread below on how this was verified.

NEW: For years, the U.S. government, including the Biden Admin, has been detaining migrants at Guantánamo. And private prison companies have made millions to run the secretive ICE facility. I accessed hundreds of pages of documents, revealing how it's run: dropsitenews.com/p/hand-restrai…

A video shared by an Israeli troop, appearing to show soldiers destroying the Canada Water reservoir in Rafah, southern Gaza, in July, is certainly a breach of international humanitarian law (IHL),” Mark Zeitoun, director general of the Geneva Water Hub, a Swiss institute specializing in hydro-diplomacy, told CNN. The IDF said the incident was under review by the Fact Finding and Assessment Mechanism. Israel’s 10-month-long assault in Gaza has destroyed and damaged water systems, according to the UN and various other international bodies, compounding the civilian population’s suffering, risking the spread of disease and leading human rights experts to accuse Israel of using water supply as a weapon. Several Palestinians told CNN they are forced to make hazardous journeys in search of water, risking exposure to Israeli attacks. Two people told CNN they had witnessed physical violence and even killing at public distribution points as people fight for scant resources. Those displaced to makeshift camps described scenes of sewage spilling into the streets and children drinking from puddles. Women are forced to endure several menstrual cycles without access to a shower, the UN said. Read our reporting, with @StockwellBilly.
