What is global news?

Something that happened or was uncovered recently anywhere in the world. It doesn't have to have global implications. Just has to be informative in some way.


Post guidelines

Title formatPost title should mirror the news source title.
URL formatPost URL should be the original link to the article (even if paywalled) and archived copies left in the body. It allows avoiding duplicate posts when cross-posting.
[Opinion] prefixOpinion (op-ed) articles must use [Opinion] prefix before the title.
Country prefixCountry prefix can be added to the title with a separator (|, :, etc.) where title is not clear enough from which country the news is coming from.

"The destroyed building is a primary school for girls in the south of Iran. It was bombed in broad daylight, when packed with young pupils," he wrote.

"Dozens of innocent children have been murdered at this site alone."

US and Israeli strikes on Iran have also heavily targeted Tehran. Explosions echoed across the capital as Iranians set out for work on the first day of the week, before quickly spreading across the country.

if Israel is involved in bombing something, expect schools and hospitals to be blown up.

Israel has made themselves prime targets for false flag operations by Iran now. Iran can blow up their own schools and hospitals and everyone will believe them, when they say Israel did it.

I think the world has shown long enough that Israel blowing up hospitals and schools doesn't warrant any reaction. Sadly.

Turns out, it was an accident. Iranian ballistic missle failed during launch and hit school.
