Climate activist Greta Thunberg was deported from Israel on Tuesday following her detention while attempting to deliver humanitarian aid to Gaza. The 22-year-old was among 12 activists aboard the British-flagged yacht "Madleen" when Israeli naval forces intercepted their "Freedom Flotilla" mission. The group sought to break Israel's naval blockade of Gaza, in place since 2007. Thunberg departed on a flight to Sweden via France, according to the Israeli Foreign Ministry. While some activists accepted deportation, eight remain detained at Givon prison, planning to contest their removal before an Israeli tribunal. The vessel had departed from Sicily earlier this month.

Wearing full protective gear, including a helmet, gas mask, and press vest, he remained on air and reassured viewers he was “much better” following treatment. The footage highlights growing concerns over press safety amid escalating tensions. These demonstrations, sparked by aggressive ICE raids, have become increasingly volatile, with officers firing rubber bullets and tear gas to disperse gatherings.

The UK government has reversed its decision to cut winter fuel payments, restoring them for 9 million pensioners earning £35,000 or less. The move, announced on June 9, follows intense political pressure and will cost £1.25 billion, while means-testing will save £450 million. Chancellor Rachel Reeves defended last year’s cuts but stated that improved public finances now allow expanded eligibility. The payments, ranging from £200 to £300, will be automatically distributed this winter. Critics argue the reversal complicates tax policies and raises concerns about future funding. The government insists the change will not lead to permanent additional borrowing, with funding details to be outlined in the upcoming budget. (PC: ELLE)

Los Angeles erupted after aggressive ICE raids sparked protests. President Trump deployed about 4,000 National Guard and 700 Marines to protect federal buildings, a rare domestic military mobilization. Mayor Bass and Governor Newsom condemned the move as an unconstitutional “test case” and “authoritarian,” filing a lawsuit to block it. Clashes persisted as police used tear gas, rubber bullets; vehicles were torched; union leader David Huerta was arrested and released on bond; journalists, including Lauren Tomasi, were injured. Civil‑rights advocates call for mass mobilizations demanding troop withdrawal and accountability. Los Angles mayor said that the city had been peaceful before Ice raids that began last week, adding “this is chaos that was started in Washington DC” and that “nothing warranted the raids, nothing was happening”.

The Israeli military has uncovered a sophisticated Hamas command complex beneath the emergency wing of the European Hospital in Khan Younis, Gaza, confirming it via a tunnel tour for foreign media. DNA evidence identified the body of Hamas military chief Mohammad Sinwar, along with senior commander Mohammad Shabana and other militants. Israeli forces recovered weapons, ammunition, cash and documents, underscoring claims that Hamas embeds its operations within civilian infrastructure. Brig.-Gen. Effie Defrin denounced this a “cynical use” of hospitals as shields. The discovery follows a strike in mid-May that killed Sinwar, confirmed in late May, and marks a significant blow to Hamas's leadership and underground network.
