Suspected militant attack reported on Kabul airport
A number of explosions, possibly rocket propelled grenades, and bursts of gunfire were reported near Kabul International Airport at dawn on Thursday, according to eyewitness reports cited by Reuters. The Afghan capital’s airport, which is used both by civilians and the country’s military, serves as a base for NATO-led forces who have been clashing with Taliban and Islamic insurgents for well over a decade. Rockets are fired into the airport’s vicinity almost on a weekly basis, though the facility has largely escaped damage. It was unclear whether Thursday’s attack represented a more serious, frontal assault attempt. Officials reported that a number of militants had burst into a building north of the airport, and the transport hub had been closed to all flights.

HIV transmissions highest in 20 years in Australia
There were 1,235 new cases of HIV diagnosed in Australia in 2013, the largest number in 20 years, an annual report by the University of New South Wales’ Kirby Institute said. The rates have been stable for the past few years, but are 70 percent higher than they were back in 1999, when new diagnoses were at their lowest. The spread of the deadly disease is due to rise in unprotected sex, particularly among gay men, rather than better testing, evidence suggested.

Israel launches ground attack in Gaza
18072014
Benjamin Netanyahu initiated a ground attack escalation in a ten-day offensive killed more than 250 Palestinians.
Witnesses in Gaza reported heavy bombing from jets, warships and artillery stationed along the border late on Thursday, with much of the firing directed at northern Gaza.Electricity was cut off across a large swathe of the strip, though it was unclear why. Peter Lerner, an Israeli military spokesman, said: “The military objectives are twofold. “To strike Hamas as a terrorist organisation, which is globally labelled, so that they do not have the motivation to continue this aggression against Israel. “And second of all to strike the terrorist infrastructure, the rockets, the tunnels, the mechanisms that they are using to strike and attack Israel.”
An Israeli military spokesman said in an interview to a radio station regarding the recent death of an Israeli soldier during the ground offensive on Gaza: “We are checking the circumstances” of soldier’s death.
This was the first Israeli casualty since the start of the operation.
Palestinian officials said 19 Palestinians were killed in heavy fighting overnight, bringing the death toll to 259, including 39 children. More than 1,900 Palestinians have also been injured. The Israeli military said that one soldier was killed in the north of Gaza on Friday, but the circumstances surrounding the death remain unclear. One Israeli was killed by rocket fire from Gaza earlier this week.
Hamas spokesperson Fawzi Barhoum said that the ground operation amounted to “stupidity” and that the Israeli army would “pay a high price”. Sami Abu Zuhri, another spokesman for the group which controls Gaza, said: “It does not scare the Hamas leaders or the Palestinian people. We warn Netanyahu of the dreadful consequences of such a foolish act.” Diana Buttu, a former legal adviser to the Israeli-Palestinian peace negotiations, said: “I think it’s high time that the Palestinian Authority go and sign on to the International Criminal Court and start charging Israel with war crimes. This isn’t the first time this has happened.” “They [Israel] shouldn’t be allowed to behave like they are above the law, and treat Palestinians like they are beneath it.”
