It is the latest atrocity amid the military’s weekslong siege of northern Gaza. “It’s getting worse and worse,” says Dr. Mohammed Salha in a call from the Jabaliya refugee camp, where he is acting director of Al-Awda Hospital.

Lebanese Prime Minsiter Najib Mikati says Lebanon is now facing “one of the most dangerous phases of its history,” as the Israeli military claims to have begun launching “limited and targeted raids” in southern Lebanon.

In a major new New York Times exposé on health insurance behemoth UnitedHealth, deputy investigations editor David Enrich reveals how the largest insurer in the country works to intimidate and silence critics of its often predatory and exploitative treatment of patients. While “companies do this kind of stuff all the time,” Enrich says, UnitedHealth’s lawyers “were really going after some fairly obscure stuff, and that suggested to me that this was a campaign of desperation.” Enrich’s investigation found instances of this “very aggressive campaign to ... continua

Nearly two months after Israel invaded Lebanon, a “fragile” ceasefire has been reached between Israel and Lebanon. Under the deal, Israel says it will withdraw troops from Lebanon’s south over a 60-day period, though Lebanese writer Lina Mounzer says “this is already being contradicted by the behavior and the directives of the Israeli army,” which continued to bomb Lebanese civilian areas through the waning hours of official hostilities. Thousands of displaced Lebanese are now returning to southern Lebanon, hoping that their homes are still standing. Many ... continua

One of the most emblematic is that planned by a German officer Claus Schenk Von Stauffenberg during the plot of July 20, 1944 at the ... continua

During Donald Trump’s inaugural address on Monday, he declared a national emergency at the southern border. On the first day back in office, Trump signed a number of executive orders on immigration that seek to end birthright citizenship and use military resources for Trump’s border policies. “This is a massive abuse of emergency power,” says Elizabeth Goitein, co-director of the Liberty and National Security Program at the Brennan Center for Justice. “These emergency powers are intended to address sudden, unexpected crises … that are moving too quickly ... continua
