In an internal investigation, the Pentagon on Thursday admitted that American forces had misidentified an intended al Qaeda target during a drone strike in Syria in 2023, killing a civilian in the process. Citing classified material, the U.S. Central Command stated in a statement that it was unable to disclose many investigational details to the public. Although the strike complied with U.S. policy and the law of armed conflict, the investigation "uncovered several areas that could be strengthened."

France's foreign minister announced plans to engage in discussions with Lebanese officials on Sunday to address tensions between Hezbollah and Israel and prevent potential conflict. Earlier this year, Foreign Minister Stephane Sejourne proposed a plan that involves Hezbollah pulling back 10 km from the Israeli border while Israel halts strikes in southern Lebanon. This proposal, discussed with partners including the U.S., aims to maintain momentum amid Israeli threats of military action in southern Lebanon. Tensions have escalated, particularly following Iran's missile strikes on Israel in response to events in Syria, leading to increased exchanges between Israel and Hezbollah.

On Thursday, a call for restraint echoed from Russia, Germany, and Britain to nations in the Middle East, as tensions escalated over an Iranian threat targeting Israel. Israel, in response, asserted its readiness to address all its security concerns. Lufthansa, one of the limited Western airlines serving Tehran, prolonged the suspension of its flights to the Iranian capital, citing safety concerns. Additionally, Russia cautioned against travel to the Middle East amidst the escalating situation. The backdrop of this tension is the vow of retaliation from Iran following the April 1 airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus, which resulted in the death of a senior Iranian general and six other military officers. This incident has further strained an already tense region, compounded by the ongoing Gaza conflict. While Israel has not claimed responsibility for the airstrike, Iranian Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei asserted that Israel must face consequences for the attack, likening it to an assault on Iranian soil.

Iranian Foreign Minister Hossein Amirabdollahian announced that the crew of a Portuguese-flagged ship, allegedly linked to Israel and including Indian nationals, has been granted consular access and is expected to be released. This information, reported by Reuters citing Iranian media, sheds light on the situation surrounding the container vessel MSC Aries, which had a crew of 25 members, including 17 Indians. Notably, one of the Indian crew members, Ann Tessa Joseph, was released and returned home on April 18. The seizure of MSC Aries by Iran's Revolutionary Guards occurred in the Strait of Hormuz on April 13, shortly after Tehran declared its intent to retaliate for a suspected Israeli strike on its consulate in Damascus.

This is the moment Iran launched more than 300 drone and missile attacks on multiple cities in Israel for the first time. Tehran’s attack is in retaliation to an airstrike on an Iranian diplomatic building in Damascus, Syria which killed two generals and several of Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officers earlier this month. Iran told local media that the attack “achieved all its objectives”, and warned it would use greater force if Israel retaliates. Israel hailed its successful air defences, claiming that it and its allies intercepted most targets. Its military also said that one child had been injured. Report by Bangurak.

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed on Sunday that his country would emerge victorious after the military reported successfully intercepting almost all of the more than 300 drones and missiles launched by Iran, marking a significant escalation in the Middle East conflict. Tehran's attacks, launched in retaliation for a suspected Israeli airstrike on its embassy compound in Damascus on April 1 that resulted in the deaths of officers from the elite Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, have heightened the risk of a broader regional conflict.
