China warned to watch for security threats as Israeli spies in Iran open ‘Pandora's box'
Israel's unprecedented success in infiltrating Iranian intelligence has opened up a 'Pandora's box' of global security threats, Chinese observers have warned, while urging China to tighten all national security measures against any vulnerabilities. According to Chinese military analyst and former air force member Fu Qianshao, one striking feature of the Middle East conflict is the critical role played by Israeli intelligence agents embedded in Iran. Israel's Mossad intelligence agency reportedly used spies and agents to smuggle armed drones and precision weapons into Iran in a prolonged operation, effectively creating a covert drone base within Iranian territory. When Israel launched its overnight strikes on June 13, these prepositioned assets helped to swiftly disable much of Iran's air defences and missile system. By the time Iran put together a response hours later, its ability to retaliate had been greatly diminished. The Israeli air strikes targeted key nuclear sites in Iran and killed at least four senior Iranian military commanders and six nuclear scientists. Fu said the tactic of having spies disable Iran's radars and ground-to-air missile systems, allowing Israeli fighter jets to enter Iranian airspace almost unchallenged, was 'a tactic belonging to a new form of warfare, and in many ways has opened a Pandora's box'.

Former Hong Kong protester challenges travel ban in bid to study law
A former Hong Kong protester has lodged a judicial challenge against prison authorities' decision to bar him from studying law in the United Kingdom on national security grounds, even after he completed his prison sentence for offences committed during the 2019 anti-government unrest To Kai-wa on Wednesday sought a judicial review after the Correctional Services Department forbade him from leaving Hong Kong during his post-release supervision by citing his failure to 'demonstrate sincere remorse and reflection' or undergo 'full rehabilitation and deradicalisation '. The 28-year-old, who was not subject to a new legal restriction barring the early discharge of national security offenders, was released in October 2024 after serving two-thirds of his sentence. But he was placed under 22-month supervision and ordered not to leave the city without the approval of the department's supervision case review committee before the supervision period ended in August 2026. In January this year, the applicant asked for permission to travel after receiving a conditional offer to enrol in a law degree programme at the University of Birmingham.
