Israel Launches A New Military Operation In Gaza
7 weeks ago
Israel says it has launched a major operation in the Gaza Strip to pressure Hamas to release remaining hostages. Israel’s defense minister said Saturday that Operation Gideon Chariots began and is being led with “great force” by Israel’s army. The announcement comes after days of intensive strikes across Gaza that killed hundreds of people. Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vowed earlier in the week to escalate pressure on Hamas with the aim of destroying the militant group that has ruled Gaza for nearly two decades.
Russian drone strike kills 9 people
A Russian drone has struck a passenger bus in Ukraine’s northeastern Sumy region, killing nine people and injuring seven others. Ukrainian officials said the attack happened on Saturday, just hours after Moscow and Kyiv held their first direct peace talks in years. The talks failed to yield a ceasefire. The Sumy regional administration said in a post on the Telegram messaging app that “this is another war crime by Russia — a deliberate strike on civilian transport that posed no threat.” The peace talks ended after less than two hours on Friday, with both sides agreeing on a large prisoner swap while a ceasefire remained elusive.
