UN puts Israel on notice for sexual violence against Palestinians
United Nations Secretary-General Antonio Guterres has warned Israel, saying there is evidence of sexual violence against Palestinians by Israeli forces, according to Reuters news agency. Guterres has put Israel on notice, saying that Israel's army could be added to a list of parties suspected of doing so, as early as next year. The crimes include incidents of genitalia violence, prolonged forced nudity of Palestinian prisoners, and abusing and degrading strip searches aimed at humiliation and interrogation. In his letter, Guterres says Israel did not cooperate with UN investigators, saying that 'limited information has been provided on accountability measures undertaken in relation to alleged incidents of sexual violence. Despite witness testimony and digital evidence of Israeli soldiers committing such violations'.

Iran says it detained 21,000 suspects during the June war with Israel
Iran's police detained 21,000 suspects during the 12-day air war between Israel and Iran in June, state media reported on Tuesday. A report by state TV quoted a police spokesperson, Gen. Saeed Montazeralmahdi, as saying people reported the suspects to the authorities. "The arrest of 21,000 suspects during the 12-day war indicated high awareness and participation of people in providing security," he said. Montazeralmahdi did not elaborate on what charges the suspects might face. However, he said more than 260 were suspected of spying and other 172 were arrested because of illegal filming. He added that police put more than 1,000 checkpoints across the country during the conflict, between June 13-24. This is the first time Iran's police has given a total number of arrests during the war. In recent weeks Iran occasionally reported about the arrests of suspects on spying charges. Since the end of June, Iran has executed seven men convicted of spying for Israel, sparking fears from activists that the government could conduct a wave of executions. Israel carried out waves of airstrikes on Iran, killing nearly 1,100 people, including many military commanders. Retaliatory Iranian strikes killed 28 people in Israel. Associated Press
