From Our Own Correspondent: Palestinian olive harvest under attack by Israeli settlers
The annual olive harvest is a major cultural event for Palestinians living in the occupied West Bank – but farmers there have come under increased attack by Jewish settlers this year. Tom Bennett travelled to the village of Turmus Ayya.

'They're weak': Israelis back conflict with Iran in neighbourhood struck by missile
Bat Yam, just south of Tel Aviv, has long been a stronghold of support for Israel's right-wing governing coalition. In the early hours of Sunday morning, an Iranian missile struck a 10-storey block of flats here, killing at least eight people and trapping dozens more under thick layers of rubble. Despite the severe damage, locals strongly back Israel's attack on Iran.

'The mood is changing': Israeli anger grows at conduct of war
As Israel's war in Gaza enters a new, violent phase, a growing number of voices within the country are speaking out against it - and how it's being fought. Yair Golan, a left-wing politician and former deputy commander of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), sparked outrage on Monday when he said: "A sane state does not wage war against civilians, does not kill babies as a hobby, and does not set itself the goal of depopulating the population.”

Israelis survey damage in city hit by Iranian missile
As sirens rang out across Israel in the early hours of Saturday morning, Ifat Benhaim and her family ran into their basement. When they emerged minutes later, they found their windows shattered and layers of dust and debris strewn across the front room.︎Rishon Lezion, Israel

His daughter was killed by a missile. His neighbours sang about it
Minutes after their deaths, a video emerged online. It showed the Iranian missiles streaking through the sky overhead. As they descend on Tamra, a voice can be heard shouting, in Hebrew: "On the village, on the village." Here - as is the case with many Arab-majority communities in Israel - there are no public bomb shelters for its 38,000 residents. For comparison, the nearby Jewish-majority town Karmiel, population 55,000, has 126 public shelters.

'Very, very toxic': The risk of asbestos in Gaza's rubble
Israel's destructive military campaign in Gaza has released a silent killer: asbestos. The mineral, once widely-used in building materials, releases toxic fibres into the air when disturbed that can cling to the lungs and - over decades - cause cancer. In Gaza, it is found primarily in asbestos roofing used across the territory's eight urban refugee camps, according to the United Nations Environment Programme (UNEP).

'We need solutions': Palestinians in West Bank fear recognition is not enough
In Ramallah - the de facto Palestinian capital of the occupied West Bank - many fear Western recognition of Palestinian statehood is too little, too late.

What are the key sticking points in Trump's Gaza peace plan?
It is the closest both sides have come to a deal since the war began two years ago. But Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan - which Israel has agreed to and Hamas has partly agreed to - is really just a framework, only a few pages long. And there are still major sticking points for both sides to resolve.
