• 23m ago (02:15 GMT)US lawmaker sends letter demanding investigation into killing of US-Turkish activistDemocratic Congressman Adam Smith said he penned the letter, along with more than 100 lawmakers, to US President Joe Biden, urging him to launch an independent investigation into the Israeli military’s killing of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi earlier this month in the occupied West Bank.“Today, I sent a letter, cosigned by 102 of my colleagues, to urge the US to investigate the fatal shooting of Aysenur Ezgi Eygi. Given the evidence, we believe the United States must independently investigate whether this was a homicide,” he wrote in a post on X.“To walk away without asking further questions gives Israeli forces unacceptable license to act with impunity. There must be accountability for Ms. Eygi’s death,” he added.https://imasdk.googleapis.com/js/core/bridge3.668.1_en.html#goog_489632969Play VideoVideo Duration 27 minutes 40 seconds27:40Why does Israeli army get away with killing foreign activists?Click here to share on social media

  reporting from Amman, JordanAl Jazeera is reporting from outside Israel because it has been banned by the Israeli government.This has been the most intense day of that cross-border fire since it began on October 8 of last year.An unprecedented number of rockets [have been] launched from southern Lebanon into northern Israel.The initial army estimate is at 300.The military says that most of them were intercepted or fell in open areas, but there were several that made impact.Additionally, the Israeli army is saying that they conducted a series of air strikes in four waves, one of the largest in the Israeli military’s history, with 250 fighter jets participating, dropping some 2,000 munitions across Lebanese territory.It’s important to remember the rhetoric of Israeli politicians from the very top that they were not afraid to bomb Lebanon back to the stone age. They were not afraid to turn Beirut into a second Gaza.And we are seeing some of the policy that the Israeli military has when it comes to the Gaza Strip being implemented across Lebanese territory, with a lot of international condemnation.Click here to share on social media
