Reports of further attacks on both Iran and Israel
Both Israel and Iran reported signs of new airstrikes, with Israel saying it had identified incoming missiles from Iran and reports in Iran saying the country had activated its air defences. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said it is "operating to intercept and strike where necessary" after reporting incoming Iranian missiles on its Telegram channel. The IDF said its defences are not foolproof so residents should follow instructions from the Home Front Command. Sirens wailed in many parts of the country. So far there have been two waves of Iranian attacks, following Israel's initial attack overnight into Friday morning. Israeli media have reported at least 63 injured. In Iran, eyewitnesses and local media reporting explosions in the centre and northeast of Tehran. There were initially no reports of damage or casualties. Residents spoke of loud explosions. Observers assumed that the attacks targeted a nuclear facility in the north of the city.

Far-Right Extremists Prepare Violence for 'No Kings' Protests
Far-right groups are humming with talk of potential violence ahead of massive 'No Kings' Day demonstrations that are expected to attract millions of protesters Saturday, according to The Wall Street Journal. In a Telegram channel used by groups affiliated with the Proud Boys, a violent white nationalist group, users have sent posts promoting violence. 'Shoot a couple, the rest will go home. I promise,' said one meme, featuring a photograph of Kevin Costner's character in The Highwaymen, a 2019 film about Texas rangers tracking down Bonnie and Clyde, holding a shotgun. 'HANG THE TRAITORS, EXPEL THE INVADERS,' said another post. Jon Lewis, a research fellow at George Washington University's Program on Extremism, told the Journal that the posts were alarming as they might inspire one to 'get off the couch, pick up a gun and go out to one of these cities.' Donald Trump has actively empowered far-right paramilitary groups by pardoning their leaders for crimes related to the January 6 riot at the U.S. Capitol, including Proud Boys leader Enrique Tarrio. Upon release from his 22-year prison sentence, Tarrio vowed retribution. Earlier this month, a coalition of Proud Boys leaders filed to sue the federal government for $100 million—plus 6 percent interest—alleging that, in light of their pardons, their arrests and various charges had violated their constitutional rights. Rallies opposing Trump's agenda are expected at roughly 2,000 locations across the country Saturday, according to the No Kings Day map. The demonstrations are a planned opposition to the massive military parade planned on the Army's 250th anniversary (and also Trump's birthday) in Washington, D.C. Trump has previously said that any protesters at his precious parade would be 'met with very heavy force.'

Several killed as separatists clash with Malian army, Russian allies in the conflict-hit north
BAMAKO, Mali (AP) — Malian security forces clashed with members of an armed separatist group over two days, resulting in the deaths of 10 separatists, the Malian army said Friday. The Azawad separatists said it killed dozens of Malian soldiers and members of a Kremlin-controlled armed force. The clashes began with a military offensive in the northern Kidal region on Thursday, the Malian army said in a statement. On Friday, the Malian military's logistics convoy was ambushed before the attack was repelled, it added. The separatists reported they killed 'dozens' of Malian soldiers and fighters with the Kremlin-controlled African Corps in the ambush. The Azawad separatist movement has been fighting for years to create the state of Azawad in northern Mali. They once drove security forces out of the region before a 2015 peace deal that has since collapsed was signed to pave the way for some ex-rebels to be integrated into the Malian military. 'We recovered 12 trucks loaded with cereals, tankers full of diesel, one military pickup, and one armored vehicles from the 30 vehicles in the convoy,' Mohamed Maouloud Ramadan, spokesman for the Azawad separatists, said in a statement that acknowledged the death of three of their members. Viral videos shared by the separatists showed military trucks on fire in a large swathe of desert land amid gunfire as gun-wielding hooded young men posed in front of the trucks. The videos also showed bodies with uniforms that resemble those of the Malian army. The Associated Press could not independently verify the videos. The latest clashes show how difficult it is for security forces in Mali to operate in difficult terrains like Kidal, according to Rida Lyammouri, a Sahel expert at the Morocco-based Policy Center for the New South think tank. 'It's difficult to gather actionable intelligence to protect their convoys, and this gives a significant advantage to armed and jihadist groups', said Lyammouri. The latest attack occurred days after Russia's mercenary group Wagner – which for more than three years helped Malian security forces in the fight against armed groups – announced it was leaving the country. The Africa Corps, under the direct command of the Russian defense ministry, said it will remain in Mali. There are around 2,000 mercenaries in Mali, according to U.S. officials. It is unclear how many are with Wagner and how many are part of the Africa Corps.
