A shocking event took place in the United Kingdom, where a 20-year-old man was found nailed to a car park in Bushmills, County Antrim. In each hand, he had a nail. He was found shortly after midnight and according to Northern Ireland police, his injuries were life-changing but not life-threatening.
Two vans, one of which belonged to the boy, were also found burned in a nearby parking lot. "This was a bad attack. We live in a democratic society where there is no excuse for this. Those responsible brutalize their communities and control others through intimidation and violence," authorities said.

Jerusalem/ Israel raids "Al Jazeera" office
The Israeli police have raided the "Al Jazeera" media office in Jerusalem, thus violating the media's right to report on the situation in the country. The officers, dressed in civilian clothes, dismantled the equipment used by the journalists, who were working in a hotel room.
The hotel, located in East Jerusalem, served as an office. Some time ago, the government of Israel voted to close the media office, owned by Qatar, and the satellite and cable transmission of the channel was cut off.
Gaza/ Israel, ready to attack Rafah
What many countries and the Palestinians themselves feared, happened! Israel warned Palestinians in Gaza to evacuate again and is preparing for an attack on Rafah after three Israeli soldiers were killed in a rocket attack by Hamas.
The Israeli military said today (May 6, 2024) that it would order Palestinians to evacuate. This call comes after Hamas and Israel met in Cairo and agreed on several points for their ceasefire. However, Hamas intended to attack an Israeli military base, which will most likely lead to the Rafah attack.
