Israel was completely surprised by a very well-coordinated attack by Hamas from Gaza,” retired Israel Defense Forces Maj. Gen. Giora Eiland told Foreign Policy. The Hamas attack followed months of severe internal unrest in Israel, spurred by the far-right Netanyahu government’s push to overhaul the country’s judiciary.

A human rights group has called for independent investigation into circumstances surrounding the case of an Iranian comatose schoolgirl amid mounting evidence of a cover up. She was reportedly pushed by a hijab enforcer recently deployed at subways stations, and has been in a coma since. Iran’s state media has aired footage showing Armita entering a Tehran subway station without covering her hair, waiting with friends, and then being carried out of a metro car unconscious by her friends. The state media have not shown any footage from inside the metro car and claim there were no CCTVs to record the incident inside the train. Two eyewitnesses have also confirmed to the Guardian that hijab enforcers were involved in Armita’s injury Sunday morning.

"If I ever come out in northern Nigeria to say I am an atheist, it will be an automatic death sentence," said the man, a business owner in his 30s. The most recent instance of a death sentence, issued in December against an Islamic cleric, Abduljabbar Nasiru Kabara, has not been carried out. At least three people have been killed for alleged blasphemy in northern Nigeria in the past year. The latest victim, killed in June, was a Muslim stoned to death after being accused of making comments that blasphemed Islam. Authorities in Nigeria have failed to act to prevent such attacks, and prosecutions have been rare, said Isa Sanusi, director of Amnesty International in Nigeria.

As global leaders travel to Morocco for the annual International Monetary Fund meeting, the Human Rights Watch organization has called on the IMF, World Bank and other international organizations to focus on financial reforms to protect people living in countries increasingly strapped by debt. “IMF loans to dozens of countries, affecting over one billion people, frequently push governments to cut spending and raise regressive taxes in ways that harm rights,” said HRW, citing a new report on the issue. IMF bailout conditions “make lives already upended by global inflation and other economic challenges even harder,” they add. The 131-page HRW report, released at the end of September, details the impact of IMF financial policies in the face of a looming global debt crisis. The report assesses loans made in 38 countries from March 2020 to March 2023.

The UN Human Rights Council has announced that its fact-finding committee on Iran is probing the reported assault on a 16-year-old girl, who is in coma at a Tehran hospital. Armita Geravand suffered a severe head injury when reportedly hijab enforcers used physical force in the subway on October 1 because she was not wearing a headscarf. UNHRC stated, "We are investigating the reported assault of 16-year-old Armita Geravand for alleged non-compliance with mandatory hijab laws, one year after the death in custody of Mahsa Amini. Amnesty International has also urged the global community to press Iranian authorities to permit an independent international delegation, including United Nations experts, to investigate the circumstances leading to Geravand’s coma after reports of an attack by compulsory hijab enforcers. He emphasized that reports suggest her situation resulted from a confrontation with hijab enforcement authorities and underscored that if confirmed, it would be unacceptable and unjustifiable.

The EU may extend its naval military operation Irini off Libya to include Tunisia, as a further means to prevent people from fleeing on boats towards Italy. For the EU, that equates to a military operation launched in early 2020 to implement an UN arms embargo on Libya. An agreement over the summer with Tunisia had also been billed by von der Leyen as a blueprint for future deals. Saied had earlier this week declined to accept EU funds after the European Commission had wired €60m into the Tunis treasury. The apparent acrimony could complicate relations between Tunisia and the European Union, posing questions on whether Tunis would ever agree to having European warships enters its territorial waters.
