Earlier Tuesday, AP reported: “BREAKING: Iran is preparing an imminent ballistic missile attack on Israel, a U.S. official says, warning of ‘severe consequences” for Iran.'” Iran then did so.

The New Arab reports about Israeli attacks on Lebanon: “One million people are displaced, hundreds killed, and the country is bracing for war.”

Commondreams reports: “Israel’s War on Gaza Has Killed More Women and Kids in 1 Year Than Any Other Conflict in Decades.” UNRWA states that 12 months “into the war, fear has been ‘instilled’ into the ‘entire population, every hour of every day’ as heavy bombardment continues via land, air, and sea.”
