  • Smoke plumes rise over the Gaza Strip as Israeli strikes pound the territory
    (18 May 2025)
    Clients note: This item contains on-screen graphics, including AP branding.
    RESTRICTION SUMMARY:
    ASSOCIATED PRESS
    Gaza Strip - 18 May 2025
    1. Various of smoke rising after Israeli airstrikes
    STORYLINE:
    Smoke plumes were seen rising in the Gaza Strip on Sunday as Israeli strikes pounded the territory.
    Israel says it has launched “extensive” new ground operations in Gaza.
    Hospitals and medics in the Gaza Strip say Israeli strikes across the Palestinian enclave have killed at least 103 people.
    The fighting also forced a main hospital in northern Gaza to close.
    The hospitals and medics said women and children were among those killed overnight and into Sunday.
    The Israeli military had no immediate comment on the overnight strikes.
    Israel blames civilian casualties from its operations on Hamas because the militant group operates from civilian areas.
    The bloodshed comes as Israel ramps up its war in Gaza with a new offensive named “Gideon's Chariots,” in which Israel says it plans to seize territory, displace hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to Gaza's south and take greater control over the distribution of aid.
    Israel says the new plan is meant to ramp up pressure on the militant Hamas group to agree to a temporary ceasefire on Israel's terms - one that would free Israeli hostages held in Gaza but wouldn't necessarily end the war.
    Hamas says it wants a full withdrawal of Israeli forces from Gaza and a pathway to ending the war as part of any new ceasefire deal.
    Israel had said it would wait until the end of US President Donald Trump's visit to the region before launching its new offensive, saying it was giving a chance for efforts to bring about a new ceasefire deal.
    And while teams are still negotiating a potential truce in the Qatari capital Doha, there appears to have been no breakthrough.
    Trump did not visit Israel on his trip, which wrapped up on Friday.
    The war in Gaza began on Oct. 7, 2023, when Hamas-led militants attacked southern Israel, killing 1,200 people and abducting 251 others.
    Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed more than 53,000 Palestinians, many of them women and children, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t differentiate between civilians and combatants in its count.

  • Israeli singer Yuval Raphael returns to cheers after second place finish in Eurovision Song Contest

    2. Mid of Raphael

    4. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Yuval Raphael, Israeli singer:
    “I’ve returned with the greatest feelings of pride. Proud to represent this country that is so special and so strong with a song that has always reconnected me with my emotions. In my opinion, the real message behind it is the State of Israel, that goes through what it goes through, but always sees the new day as a new beginning, always knows how to pick itself up again from everything that happens to it, that is exactly what unites us as a people.”
    5. Various of screens showing image of Raphael with text reading (Hebrew) “Yuval, we are proud of you”
    6. SOUNDBITE (Hebrew) Yuval Raphael, Israeli singer:
    “The feeling is of a huge victory. Huge, huge. But we won't have a real victory until all our hostages are home. And amen amen and amen they will be back right now and soon.”
    7. Wide of Raphael standing with flowers
    STORYLINE:
    Israeli singer Yuval Raphael was treated by a cheering crowd at Ben Gurion airport Sunday after placing second at the 69th Eurovision Song Contest in Switzerland.
    “I’ve returned with the greatest feelings of pride,” said Raphael during a short statement at the airport.
    “The feeling is of a huge victory,” added Raphael “but we won't have a real victory until all our hostages are home.”
    Raphael scooped up a massive public vote Saturday from her many fans for her anthemic “New Day Will Rise.”
    But she also faced protests from pro-Palestinian demonstrators calling for Israel to be kicked out of the contest over its conduct of the war against Hamas in Gaza.
    This year’s contest was roiled for a second year by disputes over Israel’s participation.
    Raphael —  a survivor of Hamas’ Oct. 7, 2023, attack on a music festival in southern Israel that triggered the Gaza war — was met by a mix of cheers and boos as she sang.
    Swiss broadcaster SRG SSR said a man and woman were stopped as they tried to climb over a barrier to the stage at the end of her song. It said a crew member was hit by paint thrown by the pair. Raphael's team said she was left “shaken and upset.”
    The Oct. 7 cross-border attacks by Hamas militants killed 1,200 people, and roughly 250 were taken hostage into Gaza. More than 52,800 people in Gaza have been killed in Israel’s retaliatory offensive, according to the territory’s health ministry.
    Both pro-Palestinian and pro-Israel protests took place in Basel, though on a much smaller scale than at last year’s event in Sweden.

    "Got the dogs out of the garage, put them in my brother's room in the closet and about the time I got them in I felt the the house start to shake. I'd say about 60 seconds of you know just bangs and you know, just, just loudness."
    4. Aerial video of tornado damage
    5. SOUNDBITE (English) Ryan VanNorstran, Survived tornado: ++PARTIALLY COVERED++
    "I kind of realized there was nothing I could, I could, I could do . I've never really felt that kind of power from you know, just, just nature. And so I was in there, I was just kind of thinking, you know, it's either, it's either gonna take me or, you know, it's all gonna be all right."
    7. Mid shot of residents assessing tornado damage
    8. Wide shot of an overturned vehicle amidst tornado debris
    9. Panning shot of tornado damage
    STORYLINE:
    Ryan VanNorstran recalled on Saturday huddling with his brother’s large dogs in a closet as a tornado roared overhead his brother’s home in London, Kentucky.
    “I got the dogs out of the garage, put them in my brother's room and in the closet, and about the time I got them in, I felt the house start to shake,” VanNorstran said.
    He said a door from another house crashed through a window.
    “It was about, I'd say, about 60 seconds of just bangs and just loudness and and then it was over.”
    The house avoided catastrophic damage–but many neighbors weren't as lucky.
    Severe storms killed at least 18 people in Kentucky with 10 more hospitalized in critical condition, authorities said. Gov. Andy Beshear said the death toll could still rise.
    Survey teams were expected on the ground in Kentucky on Monday so the state can apply for federal disaster assistant, Beshear said. Parts of two dozen state roads were closed, and some could take days to reopen.
    VanNorstran stayed with the dogs until about 3:30 a.m. Saturday morning when his parents were able to get into the neighborhood to help him leave.
    “I guess in the moment, I kind of realized there was nothing I could do. I'd never really felt that kind of power from just nature. And so I was in there and I was just kind of thinking, it's either it's either gonna take me or it's all gonna be alright,” he said.

  • Injured treated after a deadly suicide attack at a military recruitment centre in the Somali capital
    (18 May 2025)

    Mogadishu, Somalia - 18 May 2025
    1. Various of the attack scene, with footwear scattered at the site
    2. Exterior of hospital
    3. Various of the wounded being treated in hospital
    4. SOUNDBITE: (Somali) Mohamed Abdi, Director of Somali Sudanese Hospital:
    "This morning, between 9:30 and 10:00 am local time, we received wounded individuals, primarily young men. Although many had critical injuries, there were no fatalities. Most wounds were to the head and abdomen, and all patients were treated accordingly. Two individuals had less serious injuries and were admitted to one of the hospital wards. Four others, who sustained head injuries, are currently in the intensive care unit awaiting surgery. We are hopeful for their recovery.”
    5. Various of injured in hospital
    STORYLINE:
    At least 13 people were killed and 21 others wounded when a suicide bomber targeted young recruits waiting to register at the Damanyo military camp in Mogadishu, witnesses said.
    The wounded were taken to hospital for treatment.
    Mogadishu has been repeatedly targeted by the al-Qaida-linked al-Shabab extremist group, which has waged an insurgency against the Somali government for over a decade.
    The group frequently attacks military and government sites as part of its effort to impose its strict interpretation of Islamic law.
    A similar attack in July 2023 at the Jaalle Siyaad Military Academy in Mogadishu killed 25 soldiers and wounded 70.
    Al-Shabab claimed responsibility for that attack.

This is something we need to address. We had hoped that the Parliament would be supportive and give us a bit more time by postponing the Beirut elections for two or three months, but that didn’t happen. Today, we are facing this reality.

    STORYLINE:
    The third round of local elections took place in Lebanon Sunday, with voters turning out in the capital Beirut, and the governorates of Baalbek, Beqaa, and Hermel, with varying levels of participation.
    In Beirut, the numbers of voters varied between its Muslim and Christian neighbourhoods. Scores of Lebanese gathered to vote during the country's first local elections in almost a decade, which began on May 4, in the Muslim neighborhoods of the capital, while fewer voters were seen entering the polling stations in the neighborhoods with Christian majority.
    Lebanese MP Waddah Al-Sadek, expressed concern over what he said was the municipal electoral law’s lack of legislative backing.
    “The municipal council doesn’t have a law that protects it,” Al-Sadek said.
    “People aren’t able to feel that their voices are reaching a place through which they can serve Beirut.”
    He affirmed that he will continue his efforts to pursue amendments of the local election electoral law.
    In the predominantly Christian neighborhood of Ashrafiyeh in Eastern Beirut, voter turnout was apparently low. Some residents, including Aida Maammar, voiced skepticism about meaningful change.
    “Honestly, it’s just like the others. I hope something new will emerge,” Maammar said after voting at a local school in Ashrafiyeh.

    5. Stray dog being checked by veterinarian
    6. SOUNDBITE (Arabic/French) Fatima Zahra Bouasria, veterinarian:
    "First of all, the most important issue behind this work is the transmission of rabies. In Morocco, the dog is unfortunately a vector of rabies, especially stray dogs as they can get into fights with each other and then they can bite each other and bite people, or even other animals living in the same environment. So the first and most concerning issue is rabies."
    7. Dog's paw being injected with anesthesia
    8. Staff carrying out ovariectomy on stray dog
    9. Various of dog under the effect of the anesthesia during the procedure
    10. Vet applying antibiotic spray to the surgical site after completing the procedure
    11. Worker putting the dog in cage after procedure
    12. Mid of dog
    13. SOUNDBITE (Arabic/French) Fatima Zahra Bouasria, veterinarian:
    "They (dogs) are observed during their quarantine period, examined to check their health condition, vaccinated against rabies and treated for parasites. A full internal and external antiparasitic treatment is administered. Then, depending on their health status, the necessary surgical procedures are scheduled: an ovariectomy or ovariohysterectomy is performed on females, depending on the condition of their uterus, and castration is performed on males."
    14. Various of workers putting dog food in bowls for the treated stray dogs
    15. Worker giving dogs food
    16. Mid of dog eating food
    17. Various of vet applying external antiparasitic on dog
    18. Various of Bouasria injecting dog with antiparasitic
    19. SOUNDBITE (Arabic/French) Fatima Zahra Bouasria, veterinarian:
    "The dogs are then returned to a kennel during the period before their release. They are reintroduced outside based on the place where they were captured, meaning they go back to their original location. As for the dogs received in an irrecoverable condition, either suspected of having rabies or are severely handicapped... Unfortunately, stray dogs are often in critical condition, some suffer from paralysis of the hind limbs, and these dogs cannot be released."
    20. Various of the workers unloading the captured stray dogs from the truck
    21. Mid of a numbered tag being attached to stray dog's ear
    22. Worker taking photo of stray dog for data keeping

    24. SOUNDBITE (French) Mohammed Roudani, the director of the Public Health and Green Spaces Department in Morocco’s Interior Ministry:
    "Since 2019, Morocco has committed to implementing the TNVR method, which consists of capturing these animals, sterilizing them to prevent reproduction, vaccinating them against rabies, deworming them, identifying them with ear tags, and then releasing them. Today, this is the only solution to manage this issue, reduce nuisances and prevent diseases transmitted by these animals."
    25. Various of stray dogs in the animal center
