Thousands of people were killed in the floods
Libyan officials jailed over deadly floods
TRIPOLI — Twelve Libyan officials have received sentences ranging between nine and 27 years in prison for their role in catastrophic dam collapses that killed more than 4,000 people last September.Entire neighborhoods in the city of Derna were swept away, and evacuation efforts were botched.The convicted officials were responsible for managing water resources and maintaining the dams.They were charged with crimes including negligence, premeditated murder and wasting public money, Reuters reported.Three of the defendants were also ordered to repay money obtained through illicit means, the public prosecutor's office said. Four others put on trial were acquitted.An international report in January said the dams gave way partly due to poor maintenance and governance during more than a...

The rocket strike on Majdal Shams on Saturday killed 12 people
Lebanon fears dangerous new phase in Hezbollah-Israel fighting
BEIRUT — Since October, the near-daily cross-border attacks between Israel and Hezbollah, the powerful Iranian-backed militia and political movement in Lebanon, have killed hundreds of people and forced tens of thousands from their homes on both sides, raising fears that the relatively contained violence could escalate into an all-out conflict.Amid the strikes and counter-strikes, however, there have been indications that they were trying to avoid a major confrontation. But miscalculation was always a risk, and Saturday’s attack on the Druze town of Majdal Shams, in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights, could have been that.Israel accuses Hezbollah of carrying out the strike on a football pitch that killed at least 12 people, including children, the deadliest attack in the current...

Netanyahu
Hostage families deride Netanyahu's Congress speech
TEL AVIV — Benjamin Netanyahu’s speech was hailed as historic, powerful and moving by his supporters in Israel and derided as absurd and cynical by some of his critics.Much of the nation is focused on the need to end the war in Gaza and bring home the hostages held by Hamas.Instead, the Israeli prime minister delivered a fiery defense of Israel’s military campaign, framing it as a proxy fight against Iran that must be won at all costs.“You placed the truth on the most important stage in the world,” tweeted Aryeh Deri, the head of Shas, which is part of Netanyahu’s coalition government.“His words represent every Israeli who wants to live in security and believes in the righteousness of Israel's fight for existence,” was the reaction of Israel Katz, the foreign...

Netanyahu falsely claims there have been ‘practically’ no civilian fatalities in Rafah
WASHINGTON — In his speech to Congress on Wednesday, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu claimed that during his recent visit to Rafah, when he asked how many civilians were killed in Rafah, the commander told him “practically none, with the exception of a single incident where shrapnel from a bomb hit a Hamas weapons depot and unintentionally killed two dozen people.”Facts First: Netanyahu may have been told that, but the claim itself is verifiably false: Multiple strikes in Rafah have resulted in civilian casualties.The “incident” Netanyahu referenced occurred in May and killed at least 45 people at a camp for displaced Palestinians. The airstrike injured more than 200 after a fire broke out at the camp following the strike, most of them women and children, according to...
