Exclusive: US military commanders bypassed warnings that intel on potential targets in Iran was severely out of date & approved some strikes — including one that hit a school, killing nearly 200 hundred children & adults -- based on years-old info that was not updated before war started, per multiple sources.

Another Israeli air strike on paramedics in Lebanon: this one was caught on camera.

Lebanese officials say these are deliberate attacks on health workers - a war crime - and more than 100 have been killed.

The cases are never investigated and impunity is virtually the norm.

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.

Trump’s answer when I asked him about the Minab school strike was to call the BBC “another fake outfit”. My question was if he would confirm whether a US missile caused the strike, believed to have killed around 110 children, after Adm. Cooper referenced the investigation 1/

"There are literally hundreds or thousands of people who have just vanished... and many of them have been last seen in the presence of Israeli troops."

@AlexCrawfordSky tells me about the newsroom-wide effort to trace the last known movements of a mother and daughter in Gaza who were last seen alive in Israeli military custody.

“I see a hollowing out of the Geneva Conventions,” warns @ICRC president Mirjana Spoljaric. “Civilians are systematically reduced to numbers and statistics. We are losing sight of humanity, which has to be put at the center of all of this.

“We cannot accept the levels of destruction. We cannot accept the levels of suffering anymore. The numbers of casualties and displaced people and the rhetoric – the rhetoric around this is most problematic because it lowers the barriers. It lowers the moral frontiers to doing the worst.”

Two women disappear after last being seen with Israeli soldiers in Gaza. Where are they? And what happened to them? We ask is this Israeli policy? And how many more Palestinians have disappeared? With @GLAN_LAW INVESTIGATORS AND @SkyNews Data and Forensics @_BvdM @McGarwen @CunninghamCSky

In May 2024, @IDF Sgt. Dolev Mor Yossef posted this photo on his Instagram - posing with two blindfolded Palestinian women.

The two women have not been seen since.

[Hugo Bachega @hugobachega]

Israel carried out a “triple attack” on health workers in southern Lebanon, killing at least three paramedics.

One of them is Fadel Serhan. We spent days with him and his team earlier this month as they described how they worked in fear of being attacked.

Today, they were.

A series of disjointed, hard-to-follow and sometimes-profane comments capped by threatening to wipe out Iran and attacking the pope have left many with the impression of a deranged autocrat mad with power and revived the debate about Trump's mental health. https://t.co/AZSqGjRwOs

Israel says it was targeting Hezbollah.

Lebanon says more than 300 people were killed, a third of them women, children and elderly people.
