BREAKING
Abu Zaid: I believe that the Iranian operation was multi-layered, combining cyber and electronic attacks with coordinated on-the-ground infiltrations by agents
Abu Zaid: Usually, archives of such sensitivity are typically protected by a full-scale security system, but it appears that Iranian intelligence managed to make use of a gap in it
Strategic military expert Nidal Abu Zaid: Iran has stripped "Israel" of the superiority and deterrence long boasted by its security minister, chief of staff, and other top officials
Fallahpour: Iran may use these documents in its battle with the United States and Western countries over its nuclear program
Fallahpour: Iran may have obtained additional documents related to "Israel's" regional projects, not just its nuclear program
Fallahpour: The coming weeks will be full of surprises, as Iran has forced Israeli intelligence agencies into a state of psychological exhaustion
Al Mayadeen's correspondent in Tehran, Siavash Fallahpour: Iran has redefined the concept of deterrence, shifting it away from traditional military balance toward a new strategic framework
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Number of documents so great that merely studying them, along with accompanying images and footage will require a great deal of time.
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Large data trove was confirmed to have arrived to "safe sites".
Sources to Al Mayadeen: Operation had taken place in past, but large size of documents and need to transfer entire batch inside Iran necessitated secrecy.

39 people have been killed and 361 reportedly injured in Kenya's nationwide anti-government protests, the Kenya National Commission on Human Rights announced in a statement on Monday. 

The demonstrations, which erupted last month on June 18 following President William Ruto's planned tax hikes, resulted in dozens of casualties, in addition to 32 cases of enforced or involuntary disappearances and 627 arrests. 

In a television interview on Sunday, Ruto claimed that 19 people were killed during the protests led by youth organization Generation Z, reiterating he was not to blame.

Despite the president's withdrawal of the contentious tax hike bill last week, demonstrations continue to persist across the country.

"The Commission continues to condemn in the strongest terms possible the unwarranted violence and force that was inflicted on protesters, medical personnel, lawyers, journalists and on safe spaces such as churches, medical emergency centres, and ambulances," said the statement, adding, "We maintain that the force used against the protesters was excessive and disproportionate."

Police fire on protesters

At least 10 people were killed, and many others were injured last Tuesday when police fired on hundreds of protesters who stormed the parliament compound in Nairobi, the capital of Kenya. The protesters were demonstrating against recently passed legislation that increased taxes.

Lawmakers were forced to seek refuge in underground tunnels as the demonstrators breached the security perimeter.

In a chaotic scene, protesters were seen inside the parliament building, standing on the speaker's chair, while fires burned outside, including one that engulfed a police vehicle. Angry youths set fire to parts of the parliament and the Nairobi governor's office within the capital complex.
