Quick Glance: Iran Warned Before Attacking Israel, US Denies Notice

Iran provided wide notice before its drone and missile attack on Israel, as stated by Turkish, Jordanian, and Iraqi officials. However, the US refuted receiving any warning and suggested that the attack intended significant damage.

On Saturday, Iran launched numerous drones and missiles in retaliation for a suspected Israeli strike on its embassy in Syria.

Despite most drones and missiles being intercepted, a young girl sustained critical injuries, sparking concerns of further escalation.

US officials revealed that Iran only communicated after the strikes began, aiming for a 'highly destructive' outcome. The potential for escalation remains uncertain as the US declared it would not engage in Israeli retaliation against Iran.

Quick Glance: House Decision on Extending and Expanding US Spy Program

The US House of Representatives made a decision on Friday regarding the continuation of the Section 702 spy program. This decision was made without a modification that would have required the FBI to obtain a warrant to access information of Americans.

An ongoing controversial US wiretap program has reached a significant milestone towards its reauthorization.

Following numerous delays, setbacks, and involvement by legislators striving to maintain and enhance the spying powers of the US intelligence agencies, the House of Representatives voted on Friday to extend Section 702 of the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Act (FISA) for an additional two years.

Furthermore, the House bill includes a substantial broadening of the statutory definition for communication service providers, a move that FISA experts, such as Marc Zwillinger - among the few advisors to the Foreign Intelligence Surveillance Court (FISC) - have vocally cautioned against.

Quick Glance: Israel artist calls for Gaza ceasefire

The representative of Israel at the international art fair is calling for an immediate ceasefire in Israel’s war on Gaza.

Ruth Patir’s video installation called (M)otherland was scheduled to open on Saturday at Israel’s national pavilion at the international art show but will remain closed for now.

Patir stated on her website that the artist and curators are showing solidarity with the families of the hostages and the large community in Israel calling for change, rather than canceling themselves or the exhibition.

It is believed that there are still individuals in Gaza, including 129 captives taken during the attacks led by Hamas on Israel on October 7, with 34 of them presumed dead.

Jordanian jets participated in shooting down Iranian drones en route to Israel on April 14, 2024.

Historically, Israeli pilots respected Jordanians for their superior flying skills despite prevailing in significant engagements.

After a peace deal with Israel, the USA revitalized the aging Jordanian Air Force by providing refurbished F-16s.

In recent years, Jordan has continued to target Iranian-linked drug trafficking in Syria and intercepted Iranian drones using their F-16s.

Israel has launched a “diplomatic offensive” against Iran, urging sanctions against the Islamic republic.

Israeli Foreign Minister Israel Katz has called on 32 countries to impose sanctions on Tehran as Israel considers a military response to Iran’s attack.

Israeli military sources reported intercepting 99 percent of aerial threats with assistance from the United States and allies, causing only minor damage.
