A picture shows a panel of switches inside Christoph Zwiener’s exhibition project “ADN Guard House” in Berlin May 22, 2014. A German artist has turned a tiny surveillance booth used by the communist regime in the former East Germany to monitor citizens into an art exhibit and venue, which will be installed in a museum near Los Angeles dedicated to the Cold War. The one-person guardhouse measuring 2 m by 1 m (2 yards by 1 yard) was originally located in the parking lot of state-run news agency ADN so that authorities could keep a watchful eye on reporters.

A Palestinian woman reacts inside her damaged house which police said was targeted in an Israeli air strike in Gaza City July 17, 2014. Palestinians rushed to shops and banks on Thursday as a five-hour humanitarian truce agreed by Israel and Hamas came into force, hours after the Israeli military said it had fought off gunmen who infiltrated from Gaza.
