Inside Lebanon... mass displacement. Airstrikes. Hundreds killed. Reports of IDF firing white phosphorus.
Sound familiar? What's happening? Why are human rights experts warning of possible war crimes?

Sky's @AlexCrawfordSky reports from inside one of the few female-run shops in Afghanistan.
The manager, a former human rights lawyer, is not allowed to do her job anymore. She has turned to the only space where she is allowed to work.

It's four and a half months since the Minab school bombing.
We've been investigating.
Experts told us all the evidence points to US responsibility, and a Pentagon source told us their investigation blames "human error".
Our findings show the scale of the intelligence failure.

Saleh Abu Shamala lives in London and has gone into debt helping his family in Gaza survive. For nine months, @emilykassie and I followed Saleh and investigated how Israeli trade restrictions and black market smuggling sent costs in Gaza soaring @NYTmag nytimes.com/interactive/2026…

Any ‘right to defend’ goes both ways in int law. Israel’s military bombardment of Lebanon which they liken to their assault on Gaza, has hit a high number of civilians, women, children, medics and journalists. See our latest report detailing attacks on civilian infrastructure in the south. With @michelle_inez @GarwenM @CunninghamCSky

As Trump threatens to leave NATO, @SkyNews analysis from myself & @SophiaMassam finds the US heavily relies on allies to counter Russia in the Arctic.
Should it break from NATO, the US would be left more vulnerable to northerly attacks.
