Quick Glance: Iran Fires Air Defenses at Isfahan Base and Nuclear Site

Iran fired air defenses at a major air base and a nuclear site near Isfahan after spotting suspicious drones.

Tensions rose due to a possible Israeli attack in retaliation to Tehran's unprecedented drone and missile assault.

The US and Israel did not directly comment on the incident, but reports from US media and anonymous Israeli sources suggest Israel might have carried out the attack.

The International Atomic Energy Agency and state media confirmed that the atomic sites in the region were undamaged and called for restraint in military conflicts.

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.

Quick Glance: Wave of Pro-Palestinian Protests Blocks Bridges in the U.S.

Pro-Palestinian demonstrators blocked roads, highways, and bridges across the country on Monday, causing traffic disruptions and arrests. Some activists viewed this as a coordinated day of economic protest against the Israel-Gaza war.

The protests spanned the nation from San Francisco to New York, where demonstrators blocked traffic and held rallies. Similar actions were reported in Philadelphia, Chicago, Miami, and San Antonio.

The demonstrations began in the morning in various cities and had been dispersed by Monday evening by authorities. There were dozens of arrests, but no significant violence was reported.

Protesters called for an end to arms exports to the region and criticized the humanitarian situation in besieged Gaza, highlighting the disproportionate impact on women and children. The U.S. has been a major supporter of Israel since World War II.
