More than 15 Barclays branches across England and Scotland have been covered in red paint, had windows smashed, and had ATMs damaged, including this one here in Moorgate, City of London.
The attacks are part of protests by pro-Palestine group Palestine Action, who are calling on the bank to divest from arms companies that sell to Israel, as well as firms linked to fossil fuels.
Yemen's Iran-backed Houthis claimed an attack on a merchant ship in the Red Sea, part of their ongoing campaign in solidarity with Palestinians. The attack, using an improvised explosive device, caused no casualties. The Houthis have targeted numerous vessels since November, disrupting global shipping. In response, the US and UK have launched strikes on Houthi targets and implemented a maritime security initiative. The attacks highlight the complex geopolitical situation in the region and its impact on international trade.

Israel has launched fresh ground and aerial attacks on the Shujaiya neighborhood in the besieged Gaza Strip. Hamas has condemned this escalation as “a full-fledged war crime.” At least seven Palestinians have been killed and dozens more injured in the strikes, with the death toll expected to rise. The Palestine Red Crescent Society reports that there is no safe place for residents of northern Gaza to seek refuge, forcing tens of thousands to flee their homes.

On June 26, South by Southwest (SXSW) announced that the
United States Army would no longer be sponsoring the
2025 festival after boycotts by artists and panelists occurred in 2024.
After careful consideration,
we are revising our sponsorship
model. As a result, the U.S. Army,
and companies who engage in
weapons manufacturing, will
not be sponsors of SXSW 2025, SXSW statement, via Fox News.
Fox News reports that over 80 artists and panelists pulled
out of the 2024 festival "in solidarity with Palestine,"
according to the Austin for Palestine coalition.

We appreciated the opportunity
to join South by Southwest in 2024.
With U.S. Army Futures Command
headquartered in Austin, we value
any opportunity to join with our
community to ignite discovery
and make new connections. , Lt. Col. Jamie Dobson, U.S. Army Futures Command Spokesperson, via Fox News Digital.
The Army will continue to
seek opportunities to meet
technology innovators and
leaders, explore new ideas
and insights, and create dynamic
industry partnerships because
tomorrow is worth protecting. , Lt. Col. Jamie Dobson, U.S. Army Futures Command Spokesperson, via Fox News Digital.
Bands and artists participating in the boycott,
including Squirrel Flower, Scowl and Okay Shalom,
explained why they protested the 2024 festival. .
There are many ways SXSW is harmful
to working musicians, but I am pulling
out specifically because of the fact
that SXSW is platforming defense
contractors including Raytheon
subsidiaries as well as the U.S. Army,
a main sponsor of the festival, Squirrel Flower, also known as

Genocide profiteers like Raytheon
supply weapons to the IDF, paid for
by our taxes. A music festival should
not include war profiteers. I refuse
to be complicit in this and withdrawl

The Lebanese resistance movement Hezbollah has fired dozens of Katyusha rockets at a military base in the northern part of the occupied territories, following Israeli attacks against southern and eastern Lebanon. The rocket barrage targeted the main air and missile defense base of Israel's northern area command, causing a blaze and a power outage. This is reported to be one of Hezbollah’s biggest rocket barrages in recent weeks. In addition, Hezbollah's "Unmanned Air Force" launched several kamikaze drones at the Israeli al-Naqoura naval base, killing and injuring several Israeli officers and soldiers.
