A cloud of ash and smoke billows from Mount Etna in Sicily, Italy, on June 2. Authorities said nearby residents weren't at risk, but tourists were evacuated from the summit of the 11,000-ft. volcano, known as one of the most active in Europe. Italian volcanologists said the plume rose from lava flows after a partial crater collapse.

A dozen people were injured in the June 1 incident involving an improvised flamethrower. It came less than two weeks after two Israeli embassy employees were fatally shot outside the Capital Jewish Museum in Washington, D.C. Suspects in both attacks shouted “Free Palestine!”
