Israel atrocities

Israeli settlers and forces have attacked Palestinian residents in the occupied East al-Quds Neighborhood of Sheikh Jarrah. The regime forces used tear gas and stun grenades, leaving 20 Palestinians injured. Two Palestinians were also arrested. Separately, a Palestinian man was killed after being attacked by settlers in the West Bank city of Nablus. In May, the Sheikh Jarrah neighborhood became the focal point of tensions after the regime handed out eviction orders to several Palestinian families there. Clashes ensued, with Israeli forces using heavy handed tactics against Palestinian protesters in the occupied territories.

U.S. spy drone downed in Yemen

The Yemeni army says its air defense has shot down another American spy drone over the province of Ma’rib. This follows a separate announcement by the Yemeni army late Sunday that it brought down a spy drone in the same province.

COVAX program problems

The World Health Organization says more than half of poorer countries receiving COVID-19 vaccines via the COVAX program don’t have enough supplies to continue inoculations. A senior WHO advisor said over 40 nations are estimated to have hit a vaccine shortage, with some having completely run out of doses. He added that the actual numbers might be even higher. The shortages are partly due to production delays and disruptions in vaccine supply from India. This comes as coronavirus infections and related deaths have been on the rise across Africa.
