The shooting of Palestinian journalist Saleh Aljafarawi is an obscenity beyond words.
The targeting and murder of Palestinian journalists MUST now be the subject of independent criminal investigations.

A spokesman for the Islamic Republic of Iran’s judiciary announces that it is “redefining the crime of espionage” in order to deal with citizens in the aftermath (at least for now) of the Israel-Iran war.
This is what many Iranians have feared. Of course, what the regime refers to as “infiltrators and spies” is often people it is trying to target and silence.
“If we had tried to prosecute, under the current espionage law, the many people we arrested during the war with Israel, we would have faced legal limits and restraints. But parliament has now given us a free hand to punish ‘infiltrators and spies’ in a way that will serve as a lesson to others.”
