A diary of America's wars with photographer Peter van Agtmael
— He's spent more than two decades documenting the realities of war, including years working alongside US soldiers in Iraq and Afghanistan. But photographer Peter van Agtmael's work goes beyond the battlefield. He's equally interested in how those wars echo back home and that's the focus of his photo book, "Look at the U.S.A.: A Diary of War and Home". By pairing images of conflict with jarring snapshots of everyday American life in the post-9/11 era, he draws a stark connection between distant conflicts and their lasting impact on life in the United States. He spoke to us in Perspective.

Hezbollah deploys hard-to-jam fibre optic drones, shifting battlefield tactics
— Back in March, Lebanon was pulled back into conflict amid escalating regional tensions linked to Iran, as Hezbollah fired rockets into Israel. Israel responded with waves of airstrikes and later ground operations in the south, displacing hundreds of thousands. While early exchanges relied on rockets and mortars, Hezbollah has since shifted tactics, with analysts pointing to an increased use of fibre optic drones that can evade Israeli jamming systems. A US-brokered ceasefire came into effect in mid-April, but it remains fragile, with ongoing clashes and strikes reported in southern Lebanon.
