Iran says one of its largest manufacturers of anti-cancer drugs was “destroyed” in attacks allegedly by Israel. The company’s location appeared on a map published by the IDF. I’ve contacted the IDF about it; their response so far has been “still checking”. 35.735861, 51.151469

NEW: Myself and colleagues in Sky News' Data and Forensics team have confirmed that a photo of Mandelson in his underwear was taken in Epstein's Paris apartment. In a previous statement to Sky News, a spokesperson for Mandelson had said "No one can say who or where the photo was taken. Lord Mandelson has absolutely no idea or indeed whether it has any connection to Epstein at all." Verification by me and @SamDoak5
Sky News has confirmed that a photo of Peter Mandelson in his underwear was taken in Jeffrey Epstein's Paris flat. The Data and Forensics Unit was able to match the metal balcony railing visible in the window to those used on Epstein's Paris home. trib.al/DSRC5I3

THREAD: Last week we @LHReports w/ @SkyNews @sudanwarmonitor published an investigation into RSF actions against escapees from Al Fashir Much of the open-source material we analyzed didn’t make it into the publications many original posts have since been since scrubbed
"The division commander had left the garrison. They completely abandoned us and we were suddenly surrounded 26 to 1 in the morning hours." The collapse of Al Fashir crashed down on soldiers and civilians holding on for 18 months. Over 60,000 escapees are unaccounted for - we tried to find out what happened to them w/@sudanwarmonitor & @LHreports: news.sky.com/story/tens-of-t…

Sky News reveals that Israel is backing four anti-Hamas militias operating behind the “yellow line,” the ceasefire boundary for IDF troops. Militia leader Hossam al-Astal said he and others – Yasser Abu Shabab, Rami Halas, and Ashraf al-Mansi – are part of a joint plan to “remove Hamas” and establish “The New Gaza.” His group operates less than 700 meters from Israeli positions, coordinating logistics and supply deliveries with the IDF through the Kerem Shalom crossing. Sky found similar coordination in northern Gaza, with militias receiving aid and vehicles via Israeli and PA channels, and possible Gulf backing, including ties to UAE-linked forces in Yemen. Al-Astal says, “Our project is ‘The New Gaza’ — no war, no Hamas, no terrorism.”
Israel is backing four separate anti-Hamas militias in Gaza, Sky News has confirmed. Militia leader Hossam Al Astal says they are part of an "official project" backed by Israel, the Palestinian Authority and unspecified Arab and Western states.
