Brooklyn Beckham 'still values family but wants relationships that feel genuine,' per source

The family feud between Brooklyn Beckham and his parents, David and Victoria Beckham, has been going on for months. While the parents are trying their best to patch things up with their oldest son, he has made it loud and clear that he has "no plans to reconcile" with them in a lengthyInstagram Story, much to everyone's surprise.

Brooklyn has even sent a legal notice to his parents, advising them to contact him only through lawyers and not to tag or mention him in their social media posts. Despite this, David and Victoria shared aseries of tributesfor his 27th birthday on Instagram last week. But instead of doing any good, the insider toldCloser, the post apparently left Brooklyn "fuming" as he felt his parents "turned his birthday back into a public spectacle."

And they were not the only ones to wish the birthday boy. Brooklyn's younger brothers, Romeo and Cruz, also shared a picture of their sibling. Even Brooklyn's maternal grandmother, Jackie Adams, reportedly called her grandson and "urged him to bury the hatchet."

Amid all this, the insider said, "What people often overlook is that Brooklyn is hurting too." Thus, he currently "feels that putting space between himself and the family will give everyone the time they need to process what's happened and deal with it properly."

But with his parents "posting about him, it makes that healing much harder." Moreover, Brooklyn wishes "to be left alone," and feels "the best thing his parents could do is simply take a step back." Despite the feud, Brooklyn "still values family, but he wants relationships that feel genuine," said the insider, adding that "Brooklyn's trying to create a life where things are real."

Exclusive-Israel military says its tank fire hit UN Lebanon base, regrets incident

By John Irish

PARIS, March 17 (Reuters) - Israel's military on Wednesday acknowledged that its tank fire hit a U.N. position in southern Lebanon on March 6, wounding Ghanaian peacekeepers, an incident that underscores the growing risks as Israeli operations expand.

Initial findings by an internal U.N. inquiry had suggested Israel was ‌behind the attack, a Western military source had told Reuters on Tuesday.

The U.N. peacekeeping mission known as UNIFIL is stationed in southern Lebanon to monitor hostilities ‌along the demarcation line with Israel - an area that is at the heart of clashes between Israeli troops and Iran-backed Hezbollah fighters.

The mission, which will be halted at the end of 2026, has been sporadically caught ​in the crosshairs of both Israel and Hezbollah over the last couple of years, but with Israel considering a broader ground operation, the risks could be greater in the coming weeks.

In a statement to Reuters, Israel's military acknowledged its troops were behind the incident, but said they had responded to anti-tank missile fire from Hezbollah, which had moderately wounded two of its soldiers.

"A comprehensive investigation concluded in recent days determined that the fire that hit the UNIFIL personnel was mistakenly carried out by the IDF troops that misidentified the UNIFIL troops as the ‌source of the anti-tank fire moments earlier," it said.

"The IDF ⁠regrets the incident and has conveyed its apologies through the appropriate channels to Ghana and the United Nations. The findings of the investigations have been disseminated within the IDF to prevent recurrence of similar incidents."

Lebanon was pulled into the war in the Middle East when Hezbollah ⁠fired rockets at Israel that ignited a new Israeli offensive against the group.

THREE SHELLS FIRED FROM ISRAELI TANK

According to the Western source, the preliminary conclusions led by UNIFIL's Force Commander Reserve with support from explosive ordnance disposal specialists indicated that three strikes at the al-Qawzah base were direct hits from the main gun of an Israeli battle tank.

They were fired using 120-mm M339 HE-MP-T shells, ​the ​source said.

"Israeli involvement in the attack against UNIFIL is undeniable, given that these munitions are manufactured by ​Israel Military Industries (IMI)," the source said.

The findings of UNIFIL's probe have ‌not been previously reported. UNIFIL had said on March 6 that Ghanaian peacekeepers were wounded amid heavy firing and called the incident "unacceptable," but did not say at the time who was responsible.

"That investigation is not yet complete. Once it is finalized, it will be shared with the parties, per usual practice," said UNIFIL spokesperson Kandice Ardiel.

"Nonetheless, we reiterate the obligation of all actors to ensure the safety and security of peacekeepers and avoid harm to civilians. Any deliberate attack on peacekeepers is a grave violation of international humanitarian law and a violation of resolution 1701."

The Lebanese prime minister's office did not immediately respond to a request for comment.

Highlighting the concerns surrounding U.N. peacekeepers, UNIFIL said on Sunday that another ‌group of peacekeepers were likely fired upon earlier that day on three separate occasions in southern ​Lebanon, "likely by non-state armed groups." It said no peacekeepers were injured.

UNIFIL ABILITY TO CARRY OUT MISSION TESTED

The M339 ​HE-MP-T round can be used in anti-personnel, anti-helicopter, anti-materiel, anti-armour and anti-structure roles.

The ​shots were fired within a five-minute window, indicating repeated fire rather than a single stray round, the source said, adding that the base's ‌location and coordinates were well known to all parties operating in ​the area, raising serious concerns over the safety ​of U.N. personnel.

Three Ghanaian soldiers were wounded, according to the Ghanaian army.

"This escalation, far from being isolated, is part of a worrying dynamic, severely testing UNIFIL's ability to carry out its peacekeeping mission," the source said.

The Israeli military occupies five posts within Lebanon and despite a ceasefire last year had frequently carried out ​airstrikes in the country's south that it says are targeting Iran-backed ‌militant group Hezbollah.

U.N. Security Council Resolution 1701, among other provisions, states that no armed forces should be operating in southern Lebanon except the U.N. peacekeepers ​and the Lebanese military.

Israel has repeatedly accused Hezbollah of trying to rearm and the Lebanese armed forces of failing to disarm the group.

Afghans search for loved ones at Kabul rehab centre bombed by Pakistan

By Mohammad Yunus Yawar

Aftermath of an air strike in Kabul

KABUL, March 18 (Reuters) - Families and friends of people who were under treatment at a rehab centre in the Afghan capital Kabul searched for their loved ones on Wednesday, two days after it was bombed by Pakistan in the deadliest incident in the months ‌long conflict between the neighbours.

The Afghan Taliban government has said that more than 400 people were killed and 265 wounded in the air strike ‌that took place on Monday night, just as people and staff at the centre were praying, days before the end of the holy month of Ramadan.

Pakistan rejected the claim, saying it had "precisely targeted military ​installations and terrorist support infrastructure" - a sharp escalation that has further worsened relations between the Islamic neighbours at a time when the neighbourhood has also become unstable due to the U.S.-Israeli attacks on Iran.

On Wednesday, relatives of people who were at the drug rehabilitation centre gathered at the site looking for their loved ones who were among the hundreds recovering there.

Many said they did not know whether their relatives were alive or dead, or if they had been moved elsewhere.

"We came here looking for our patient, he is missing," said ‌Mazar, 50, who gave only one name. "We came to find ⁠out whether he is well, alive, or what has happened to him."

The relative, Mazar said, had been admitted at the centre for the second time and there was no information about him. "We checked the lists, but his name was not in the list of ⁠the living. Maybe he is injured or has been killed," he said.

MOST BODIES YET TO BE HANDED OVER

Another man who did not want to be named said he had come in search of his relative on Tuesday but was not allowed to enter the centre.

"We did not find his body, nor was he among the wounded, and his name is not ​on ​the list of survivors," he said. "We have come again today for more information."

A Reuters witness at ​the scene saw smoke still smouldering from parts of the compound ‌as firefighters continued to douse small fires, about 36 hours after the bombing. Pieces of furniture, mattresses and clothing lay scattered among the debris.

The Afghan interior ministry said funerals of some those killed at the centre would take place later on Wednesday.

"Some of the bodies were not identifiable and are currently at the forensic department. Some bodies were intact and were handed over to their families," interior ministry spokesman Abdul Mateen Qanie said. "Others were completely destroyed, collected almost like pieces of flesh."

Najibullah Farooqi, head of Afghanistan's legal medicine directorate, said bodies were being pulled out of the debris as late as Tuesday night and were being handed over to families.

"Some bodies have been handed over ‌after their identities were confirmed. However, a large number of bodies still remain with us," he ​said.

DISPUTE OVER TARGET OF AIR STRIKE

Afghanistan and Pakistan have fiercely contested and disputed the target of ​the air strike.

Afghan authorities said the attack had clearly targeted a well-known rehabilitation ​centre, a former NATO military base named Camp Phoenix that had been converted into a civilian facility about a decade ago.

Pakistan has ‌said it hit Camp Phoenix, a "military terrorist ammunition and equipment storage ​site" and that secondary detonations that were ​visible after the strikes clearly indicated the presence of large ammunition depots there.

The EU, UN agencies and international aid groups have said civilian and medical facilities should not be targeted during a conflict and called for immediate de-escalation.

The conflict between the allies turned foes began last year after Pakistan accused Afghanistan ​of sheltering and backing militants carrying out attacks across Pakistan, ‌a charge denied by the Afghan Taliban government.

The conflict had ebbed amid efforts by friendly countries including China to mediate, but flared again with ​Pakistan directly targeting the Afghan Taliban last month and not just locations of Pakistani Taliban militants Islamabad says are across the border.

Georgian Orthodox Patriarch Ilia II, hailed as an 'epochal figure,' dies at 93

TBILISI, Georgia (AP) — Georgia's Patriarch Ilia II, the longtime head of the Georgian Orthodox Church and one of the country's most influential figures, has died. He was 93.

Ilia II died late Tuesday after being hospitalized in critical condition with internal bleeding.

"He was an epochal figure; it is a tremendous loss for the entire Orthodox Church," said Shio Mujiri, who temporarily took over the leadership of the church pending the election of a new patriarch.

Ilia II led the church for nearly five decades. He assumed the leadership role in 1977, when Georgia was part of the Soviet Union and religious practices were restricted, and remained a dominant spiritual and public figure after Georgia regained independence.

A new patriarch is to be elected within two months.
