There should be little doubt that war is returning to the region. If Netanyahu launches another operation against Iran before Israel’s October 27 elections, he will deprive Israelis of their political agency at a critical moment just as he did to Iranians on February 28.
🚨The sortie involved dozens of Israeli fighter jets and refueling aircraft, the sources said
🚨It followed a flight path consistent with a potential strike against Iran, passing through Syrian and Iraqi airspace
🚨As the aircraft approached the Iranian border, they turned around and returned to Israel, the sources said
Anonymity would be granted. Any leads would be greatly appreciated for this important story.

Egyptian authorities just arrested and imprisoned an entire newsroom last month. Now they are summoning the incredible journalist Lina Attalah, editor-in-chief and co-founder of Egypt's most important independent news outlet Mada Masr, for questioning yet again.
Lina Attalah, Mada Masr’s editor-in-chief, received a summons today from the Supreme State Security Prosecution to attend a questioning session on Wednesday, October 21. The summons did not say why she is being questioned.
The new investigation, Case 9072/2026, is the sixth case brought against Mada Masr, its journalists and its editor-in-chief in the past six years. The most recent was in August 2025, when the security prosecution released Attalah on LE30,000 bail. She was questioned at the time on charges of “broadcasting false news” and “using a website without a license,” based on a National Security Agency investigation report, in relation to a Mada Masr story on prisoners’ complaints of abuse in detention facilities. When asked why she trusted the sources cited in the story, Attalah said she had abided by professional journalistic standards and had acted in the public interest. She also pointed to the legally protected right to inform authorities of events through publication, noting that the outlet presents a full range of viewpoints.

Not a single arrest has been made of any Israeli involved in attacks on Washington Post photojournalist or European diplomats over the weekend in the West Bank.

The facts are reported clearly and dispassionately here by Azam Ahmed, who witnessed the attack. nytimes.com/2026/10/16/world…
The Prime Minister’s Office:
The facts surrounding the confrontation near Abu Falah, during which Washington Post photojournalist Heidi Levine was allegedly assaulted, remain unclear and are under investigation.
Israel unequivocally condemns violence against anyone—Jews, Arabs, Christians or journalists. Those responsible will be held accountable.
But serious questions remain. Reports indicate some 200 Arabs and far-left activists confronted approximately 40 Israeli youths. Footage shows masked individuals on both sides hurling objects, amid reports of fireworks fired at Jewish youths. Other footage appears to show Levine knocked down and immediately helped to her feet by the same unidentified individual.
The investigation must establish the facts, including who initiated the violence.
We will not allow disputed incidents to be exploited to demonize the hundreds of thousands of law-abiding Jewish residents of Judea and Samaria.
The facts must determine the conclusions. Not the headlines.

To be clear: Some facts are neither in dispute nor unclear. Our photographer was clearly marked as Press. She was clearly beaten. These are not partisan or risible statements, but indisputable. We urge a thorough investigation and accountability.

Journalist Shireen Abu Akleh was killed in May 2021 and though her death was the most investigated of any Palestinian in history, no one was held accountable. That impunity led to the killing of nearly 300 journalists in Gaza and settler attacks like the one today.
