A new wave of mass deportations of Afghans from Pakistan seems to be starting . Had a frantic call from a woman I know in Islamabad - who works supporting elderly parents - terrified she will be rounded up (like her neighbours) . The family have lived in Pakistan since the 1990s.

Can’t understand Iran’s logic here? . Launching 2 missiles long after the ceasefire came into effect - they’re intercepted - Israel promising to retaliate & capable of inflicting much more significant damage.
Defense Minister Israel Katz says he has instructed the IDF to "respond forcefully to Iran's violation of the ceasefire with intense strikes against regime targets in the heart of Tehran.".
