I give it a try.

1) A Flycatcher i think.
2) Red-breasted Flycatcher? Not sure.
3) Marsh Harrier male
4) Levant Sparrowhawk
5) Garden Warbler? Certainly not sure.

1) Looks like a female-type Red-breasted Flycatcher to me (it has for example a pale base to the lower mandible, which doesn't fit the wheatears).
2) Male Red-breasted Flycatcher.
3) Male Marsh Harrier
4) Male Eurasian Sparrowhawk to me (it seems to have six fingers and a clear cap).
5) Chiffchaff or Mountain Chiffchaff.
