An Israeli air attack on a residential building in Jebchit town in Lebanon has killed five members of the same family. Video from the scene shows the area in ruins.
More than six months after a US-brokered ceasefire took effect in the Gaza Strip, Palestinians say Israeli forces continue to violate the agreement with daily attacks.
The latest strike killed Ibrahim Saqr, a paramedic and father of two, as he headed to work in northern Gaza.
Medical officials say at least 17 paramedics have been killed in the north since the truce began, with journalists, civil defence teams and police also targeted, including four officers killed a day earlier.
Artillery shelling in central areas and naval fire along the coast have also been reported, with at least 823 Palestinians killed since the ceasefire took effect.
Residents describe deepening despair, with no reconstruction, no return to homes and no Israeli withdrawal implemented on the ground.
Humanitarian aid remains far below agreed levels, with only around 150 of the promised 600 daily trucks entering mostly carrying commercial goods. Fuel and spare part shortages are pushing vital services to the brink, with hospitals at risk of losing oxygen supplies and incubators, and sewage systems in Khan Younis no longer functioning.

Lebanon's president Joseph Aoun is facing criticism for holding direct talks with Israel and supporting a ceasefire that many displaced people say has failed to stop Israeli attacks.
More than a million Lebanese remain displaced, with some accusing the government of allowing Israel to continue striking perceived threats and occupying southern land.
Aoun defends the negotiations, saying those who took Lebanon to war for foreign interests committed treason, and aims to end the state of war with Israel.
Political divisions are deepening as the US pushes for peace and Hezbollah's disarmament, which the group rejects.

Al Jazeera hosted a panel discussion on the US-Iran stalemate with two guests: Rob Geist Pinfold, Lecturer in International Security at King's College London, and Zohreh Kharazmi, Associate Professor at the Faculty of World Studies at the University of Tehran.
Rob Geist Pinfold argued that neither side wants a return to direct conflict.
The US is "feeling the pinch" with gas prices at a four-year high, while Iran needs time to regroup after military degradation. However, neither wants to be the first to compromise. He noted that the IRGC has consolidated its power, functioning as a "shadow state," and has incentives to prolong the conflict. Ordinary Iranians are paying the price, with the IMF forecasting Iran's economy will contract significantly. He cited up to 30,000 killed in recent protests over dire economic conditions.
Zohreh Kharazmi countered that Western media overestimates Iran's economic problems. She argued that 200 million barrels of floating oil have been sold, and Iran's new security paradigm in the Strait of Hormuz has broken sanctions structures. She dismissed reports of mass protests as "fabricated lies," accusing the West of inflating casualty numbers to "whitewash what Israelis did in Gaza." She insisted that decision-making is collective via the Supreme National Security Council, not dominated by the IRGC, and that millions of Iranians continue to show support for the Islamic Republic nightly.
Both agreed the IRGC does better in conflict, but disagreed sharply on whether ordinary Iranians support or suffer from that dynamic.

A digital rights organisation has found that Meta is allowing Israeli settler groups and anti-Palestinian influencers to monetise content on Facebook, Instagram and WhatsApp, despite violating the company's own rules.
Groups such as Hilltop Youth, which is sanctioned by the EU, UK, Australia and Canada for violent attacks on Palestinians, maintain monetised accounts on Meta's platforms.
Meanwhile, Meta has removed thousands of Palestinian accounts, including those of journalists documenting Israel's war on Gaza, and prohibits monetisation of any Palestinian accounts.
Rights groups say the disparity reflects systematic bias rather than a technical issue.

International flights have resumed at Tehran's Imam Khomeini Airport after 57 days of suspension amid a fragile ceasefire. The resumption comes with both pessimism and optimism, as the ceasefire could either lead to lasting peace or another round of confrontation. While the main airport reopens, Mehrabad Airport and several other airports across the country sustained attacks, and multiple civilian aircraft were damaged.
On US President Donald Trump's claim that Iran is in a "state of collapse" and wants the Strait of Hormuz opened, Tehran says the door for diplomacy is "ajar" — ready to negotiate but not under imposed conditions — while maintaining military readiness for any scenario. Unlike previous talks limited to the nuclear dossier and sanctions, current negotiations involve war reparations, security assurances, frozen assets, the Strait of Hormuz, and the US naval blockade.

Four Indonesian soldiers are due to stand trial in Jakarta over an acid attack on prominent activist Andrie Yunus, who suffered severe burns to a quarter of his body.
The assault occurred after Yunus had recorded a podcast criticising the military's growing influence in Indonesian society.
An investigation linked the four soldiers to the attack, but activists accuse the armed forces of a wider campaign to intimidate critics and say trying the case in a military court lacks transparency.
Rights groups have called on President Prabowo Subianto, a retired general, to launch an independent investigation.

US lawmakers gave King Charles III a standing ovation upon mentioning the importance of “checks and balances” on executive power during his historic speech to Congress.
US President Donald Trump hailed the "cherished bond" between the United States and the United Kingdom as he welcomed King Charles III and Queen Camilla to the White House, seeking to mend a rift over issues including the war on Iran.
In this episode of This Is America, hosted by Cyril Vanier, Al Jazeera examines how the US-Israel war on Iran has shifted into a “no peace, no war” endurance test – a phase of managed instability where neither side has won on the battlefield, yet both are paying an ever‑rising economic price. Two months after the ceasefire halted the bombing, the Strait of Hormuz remains effectively closed, turning one of the world’s most strategic waterways into the centre of a double blockade and a global shock to energy, fertiliser and trade.
From the White House, chief US Correspondent Alan Fisher unpacks Donald Trump’s gamble: moving from “Operation Epic Fury” in the air to “Operation Economic Fury” at sea, betting that a prolonged naval blockade and lost oil revenue will eventually break Iran’s resistance. Trump now openly frames the conflict as a contest of time and pain tolerance – insisting the US has “plenty of time” to get a “great deal” even as he claims Iran’s military is “totally defeated”.
At the Port of Baltimore, Richard Gaisford shows how a distant standoff in Hormuz is washing up on American shores. He reports on higher shipping costs, more expensive imports and a looming squeeze on farmers facing a global fertiliser shortage so severe that many say they can no longer afford to plant all their crops. From supermarket shelves to plastics and clothing, the closure of Hormuz is feeding through into US inflation, even as the President dismisses “fake inflation” and celebrates record stock market highs. In Iran, Gaisford tracks how the blockade is choking the oil industry at the heart of the country’s economy and forcing households to absorb yet another round of price rises in a long economic war they know well.
John Holman breaks down what it costs Washington to sustain this posture: three carrier strike groups in the region, tens of thousands of troops still in the “theatre of war”, and billions of dollars’ worth of missiles, drones and bombs already expended. He explains why US planners now face a worrying window in which key munitions stocks could take years to rebuild – a vulnerability closely watched by both allies and adversaries from Europe to China.
In the studio, former US ambassador and Middle East peace envoy David Hale joins former Pentagon official and CSIS senior adviser Mark Cancian to ask whether this has become a pure waiting game – and if so, who really has the higher pain threshold. They explore whether coercive diplomacy is reaching its limits, what it means for US strategy in other regions, and how long Washington and Tehran can manage a “no war, no peace” stalemate before miscalculation or domestic politics forces a change.
Alex Baird rounds up a heated online debate in which commentators brand the stand‑off a “strategic stalemate” or even a new Cold War, Trump allies urge him to “stick to your guns”, and critics warn the White House is trapped in a geopolitical test of endurance it may not be able to control.
This Is America asks whether the US and Iran are inching towards a deal, drifting into an open‑ended war of attrition, or locking the world into a dangerous new normal where “no peace, no war” becomes the price of power.

This Is America asks whether the US and Iran are inching towards a deal, drifting into an open‑ended war of attrition, or locking the world into a dangerous new normal where “no peace, no war” becomes the price of power.

Video captured massive explosions in southern Lebanon in what the Israeli military called strikes on a Hezbollah tunnel. Other attacks happened nearby, as Israeli Defence Minister Israel Katz vowed that southern Lebanon’s fate will be like Gaza’s.

GCC leaders are meeting in Jeddah, Saudi Arabia for their first in-person summit since Gulf states became targets in the war on Iran. All six countries have seen energy and civilian sites hit by Iranian missiles and drones. Attacks have eased since the April 8 US-Iran ceasefire, but tensions remain high as talks on a lasting deal stall.
The United Arab Emirates says it's leaving the Organization of the Petroleum Exporting Countries (OPEC).
It's the group's third-largest producer. It will also pull out of the broader OPEC+ alliance.
That's as the Iran conflict upends global energy markets.
An energy analyst says the UAE’s “startling” move to leave OPEC reflects a belief it will freely increase production to about five million barrels of oil per day from the current 3.5 million bpd once the Hormuz Strait crisis is over.
“But until this is over, like everyone else, it has it’s production on the wrong side of the Strait of Hormuz,” said Cornelia Meyer, chief executive officer of Meyer Resources.
“Once we’re through this conflict it will do one thing, it will insert more volatility because OPEC has really done a fine job in terms of smoothing the waters and adding production when it was needed, and taking it off when there was too much production, like for instance during COVID,” said Meyer.
“In terms of the stability of oil markets, it’s not necessarily the best move, but OPEC will survive. OPEC has survived much more.”
