A shoulder to the head of a player in a vulnerable position over a ball.
This is a real cheap shot, the type of challenge that causes a concussion or a neck injury because the player can’t protect himself.
In rugby it is a red card, when is it going to be punished in hurling?
The Israeli army shot dead a 7-month-old Palestinian baby in the West Bank.
It was in broad daylight.
The father says:
"I stopped as I was instructed to, and then they simply shot at the car."
Israel routinely kills babies - and the West is silent.
This is Khalifa from Gaza, he came to Ireland twice, played football, met the President, charmed us all. He was a Palestine National Youth Team player. He was 20 when he was murdered by Israel, one of the 421 football players they killed. He is why the FAI must not play Israel.
More than 150 people, including 120 children, were killed in Iran when an airstrike hit a school in Minab.
Although a preliminary US military investigation determined Washington was responsible, the Trump administration is yet to formally accept responsibility.
Sky's @DominicWaghorn is the first international journalist to visit Minab.
Warning: contains distressing content.
Smaller than the Irish county of Galway, the occupied West Bank has over 900 military checkpoints, barriers and roadblocks.
Illegal settlers steal the land, live under Israeli law and are protected by the @IDF.
Palestinians live under military law.
What I am witnessing here is shocking.

🇪🇺🇮🇱 7 European countries voted to suspend the EU-Israel association agreement at today's foreign ministers meeting:
🇮🇪 Ireland
🇲🇹 Malta
🇳🇱 Netherlands
🇵🇹 Portugal
🇸🇮 Slovenia
🇪🇸 Spain
🇧🇪 Belgium
Spanish PM Pedro Sánchez:
It’s important to remember that Article 2 of the association agreement between the European Union and Israel is about respecting international law and humanitarian law.
And clearly, neither in Lebanon, nor in the West Bank, nor in Gaza, is Israel respecting it.
And this must lead us to reflection and also to action.
"He stands back from the ball and moves through the ball when striking...usually you only do that if you're hitting a long range free"

Ethnic cleansing used to be Israel's surreptitious policy. Today, it is Israel's in-our-face pride and joy. Time to ban Israel from every international organisation, like we banned Apartheid South Africa. Enough is enough! https://t.co/vJrwgx3XPU
BREAKING: The body of a Lebanese journalist has been found under the rubble after an Israeli strike.
Sky's @DiMagnaySky reports.

Lebanese journalist Amal Khalil was found dead after hours of searching under rubble. She was killed in an Israeli strike, after the Israeli army fired at ambulances trying to reach her, delaying her rescue.
She is the fourth journalist killed by Israel while in the field since 2 March.
She was a professional, kind and dedicated journalist, and always a pleasure to run into in the field.
Almost 800.000 signatures: “EU citizens cannot tolerate that the EU maintains an agreement that contributes to legitimize and finance a State that commits crimes against humanity and war crimes.
Full suspension of the EU-Israel Association Agreement.” https://t.co/k917AsC3aN
As the pause in Israel-US military aggression on Iran takes effect, Israel escalates its war crimes in Lebanon with the same vindictiveness used for decades against Palestinians. Israeli crimes remain a threat to peace in the region and beyond. They must be stopped and punished.
Lebanon has been hit with one of the largest waves of Israeli airstrikes since the escalation began.
Civilians are bearing the brunt of these attacks.
Civilians are #NotATarget.
Justo hoy, Netanyahu lanza su ataque más duro contra el Líbano desde que empezó la ofensiva.
Su desprecio por la vida y el derecho internacional es intolerable.
Toca hablar claro:
- Líbano debe formar parte del alto al fuego.
- La comunidad internacional debe condenar esta nueva violación del derecho internacional.
- La Unión Europea debe suspender su Acuerdo de Asociación con Israel.
- Y no debe haber impunidad ante estos actos criminales.
BREAKING: Pope Leo XIV declares the Iran War is “unjust” and “is not solving anything.”
After suggesting Trump is committing war crimes by targeting civilian infrastructure, he called on Americans to contact Congress to help end the war.
