Israeli troops continue their assault on Jan Yunis, in the southern Gaza Strip
Israeli troops continue with their assault on the southern city of Jan Yunis, more than a week after their return, in which they issued evacuation orders from the east and southern neighborhoods, which had previously been designated as part of the humanitarian zone.
“During the last day, the troops eliminated dozens of terrorists, some of whom fired at our soldiers and dismantled infrastructure,” an Army statement on Monday reported.
The Hebrew forces left Jan Yunis last April, after four months of offensive, by assuring that they had all achieved “their military objectives.” Now, they justify their return by claiming that in those areas there is “terrorist infrastructure of Hamas.”
In addition, this Sunday the Army also ordered the evacuation of part of the Bureij refugee camp, in the center of the Gaza Strip, after detecting rocket launches from that point and Shuhada, according to the Army’s Arabic spokesman, Avichay Andraee.
“The military will act forcefully in the area,” the statement says.
The solution that Israel gives to these Gazans is the same as the one it gave in the other evacuation orders, that is, that they flee to other points of the humanitarian coastal zone of Mawasi, already crowded with refugees who live in tents, without water and without electricity, and whose perimeter is increasingly reduced.
Last night, thousands of Palestinians began to evacuate the areas of the Bureij camps and headed for the nearby cities of Deir Al Balah and Nuseirat, according to the Palestinian news agency, Wafa.
Palestinian media reported this morning of Israeli airstrikes against a residential block in the Bureij refugee camp.
On the other hand, the Army also maintains its offensive in Rafah, at the southern end of the Gaza Strip, where it assures that in the last hours they managed to kill “numerous” militiamen in hand-to-hand meetings.
“In the last 24 hours, our Army attacked 35 terrorist targets in the Gaza Strip, including armed cells, infrastructure and buildings loaded with explosives,” they add in their note.
Since the war began in the Gaza Strip, almost 300 days ago, at least 39,324 people, most of them women and children, have died and more than 90,800 have been injured in the devastated Palestinian enclave, according to the latest data from local health authorities.

Bolsonaro diagnosed with skin cancer amid coup conviction
Former Brazilian president Jair Bolsonaro has been diagnosed with skin cancer while serving a historic sentence for attempting a coup d’état. His medical team confirmed that the lesions have been removed and that, for now, he does not require further procedures, though he will need regular monitoring.
On Wednesday, September 17, Bolsonaro’s doctors confirmed the diagnosis. The announcement comes shortly after the former leader was convicted of orchestrating an attempted coup.
According to his physician, Claudio Birolini, Bolsonaro has “squamous cell carcinoma, which is neither the most benign nor the most aggressive form — it is intermediate.” Birolini warned, however, that this type of skin cancer “can carry more serious consequences.”

Milei praises Paraguay’s growth, calls Argentina’s last 20 years a ‘decline’
Argentine President Javier Milei praised Paraguay’s economic growth over the past two decades during a speech before the Paraguayan Congress on Wednesday (Sept. 17, 2025), crediting it to incentives that favored capitalism. At the same time, he contrasted that progress with what he described as Argentina’s deepening “decline” during the same period.
“If we compare the last 20 years of Paraguay with those of the Argentine Republic, we will find almost diametrically opposite results,” Milei told lawmakers during a special session of Parliament on the second and final day of his official visit to Asunción.
“While you have not stopped growing, we have deepened our decline. If we understand incentives as the engine of capitalism, Paraguay focused on preserving and strengthening them, while Argentina dedicated itself to chaining, directing, and suffocating them,” the right-wing leader stated.

Trump administration launches large-scale immigration operation in Chicago
The administration of U.S. President Donald Trump intensified a large-scale immigration operation in the Chicago area with the arrival of additional Border Patrol agents on Tuesday and the presence of Department of Homeland Security (DHS) Secretary Kristi Noem during a raid.
Noem posted a video on her X account showing the immigration operation, in which DHS reportedly removed “violent criminals” from the streets. The footage shows Noem observing the arrest of a man taken into custody at his home early Tuesday morning at an undisclosed location.
“I was in Chicago today to make it clear that we will not back down,” the secretary wrote. “Our work is just beginning,” she added.
The warning from Noem was echoed by U.S. Customs and Border Protection (CBP) Chief Gregory Bovino, who posted a video on X Tuesday showing multiple Border Patrol vehicles arriving in the city with the caption: “Chicago, we are here!”
Bovino, who led the immigration crackdown in Los Angeles implemented since last June, said the team will remain in Chicago to continue the mission they started in California.
Operation “Midway Blitz” is currently focused on the Chicago metropolitan area and its suburbs. Activists and residents have reported sightings of masked agents and unmarked vehicles in predominantly Latino neighborhoods.
