About thirty deaths in Gaza in the last hours, 40,435 since the war began
At least thirty people lost their lives in the Israeli attacks on the Gaza Strip of the last 24 hours, according to the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas, and there are 40,435 deaths since the start of the war on October 7.
In addition, 66 people were injured on the last day, bringing the total number of injuries since the beginning of the war to 93,534.
According to the spokesman for the Gaza Civil Defense, Mahmud Basal, at least seven people died on Monday in an attack on a port on the coast of Gaza City (north), where a group of citizens were fishing.
Another person was killed in an Israeli bombing of an apartment in the Gaza capital, and two other bodies were recovered in Deir al Balah (center) after a bombing of a residential neighborhood in the southeast of the city.
Meanwhile, the Israeli Army claimed on Monday that it had bombed a rocket launcher from Hamas in Jan Yunis (south) that they say had been used in an attack against central Israel, in addition to attacking several alleged militiamen throughout the enclave.
“After the attack on the shuttle, secondary explosions were identified, indicating the presence of additional rockets,” a military statement said today.
In addition, according to the text, dozens of militiamen were eliminated on the last day in Jan Yunis and Deir el Balah, where Israel has been forcing the civilian population to move since last week, with new evacuation orders, despite the danger they face due to the fighting.
The municipality of Deir el Balah confirmed the displacement of 250,000 Palestinians, while 25 shelters have been de-used, according to a statement.
The Islamist group Hamas, which governs in the Gaza Strip, today referred to the attacks and forced displacements in the town of the center of the enclave and said in a statement that they represent some of “the most unpleasant images of a genocide seen in the modern era.”
This Sunday, the humanitarian group Doctors Without Borders (MSF) announced that hundreds of patients have been forced to flee from the Al Aqsa hospital in Deir al Balah, adjacent to the area considered “humanitarian” by the Israeli Army and where troops have been fighting for two weeks.
“Israeli forces have issued an evacuation order in the vicinity of the Al Aqsa hospital, to which MSF provides support, in Deir al Balah, urging people to flee. An explosion about 250 meters away has unleashed panic and many have left the hospital,” the Paris-based organization said in a statement.
Of the 650 patients that the hospital had, only a hundred remain in it, of which seven are in intensive care units, the organization said, citing figures from the Gazaz Ministry of Health.
Meanwhile, the Israeli delegation headed by the heads of the Mosad and Shin Bet left Cairo on Sunday after a day of indirect negotiations that has not brought results or progress to reach a truce in the Gaza Strip, sources close to the talks told EFE.
Egypt, for its part, will only accept as a solution to achieve a truce in the Gaza Strip the complete exit of Israel from the border area – the so-called Philadelphia Corridor – although it would accept that it be done in two phases based on the fulfillment of the exchange of hostages and detainees between Israel and Hamas.
On the other hand, the border between Israel and Lebanon, which yesterday experienced a hard escalation of the exchange of fire between the Israeli Army and the Shiite group Hizbulah, woke up this Monday in relative calm.
Since dawn, anti-aircraft sirens have been activated only once on the Israeli side, due to a drone.
In the early morning of Sunday, Israel carried out intense bombings in southern Lebanon, with more than 100 fighter jets, after the Army identified that Hizbulah was preparing for an imminent large-scale attack that targeted the north and center of the country.
The pro-Iranian militia had promised this attack weeks ago, in revenge for the murder of its top military commander, Fuad Shukr, in an Israeli bombing on July 30 on the outskirts of Beirut.
Hizbulah said he launched more than 300 projectiles, while the Israeli Army detected about 210 rockets and 20 explosive drones that were mostly intercepted.
The day left four dead: three in southern Lebanon, one of which was a militiaman from the Shiite Amal group, and a soldier from the Israeli Navy, while the Shiite militia said yesterday that their retaliation “was completed and achieved.”
Despite the calm, Israel maintains the state of military emergency, approved yesterday by the Minister of Defense, Yoav Gallant, which allows the Israeli armed forces to instruct the population in case of new attacks.
On the other hand, Israeli troops abused, mistreated and humiliated Palestinian doctors, nurses and health workers who were arrested during the war in Gaza, concluded an investigation by Human Rights Watch (HRW), sometimes causing their death, as the Israeli newspaper Haaretz had already reported.
“The Israeli government’s mistreatment of Palestinian health workers has continued in the shadows and must cease immediately,” Balkees Jarrah, interim director for the Middle East of HRW, said today. “Torture and other mistreatment of doctors, nurses and health workers must be thoroughly investigated and properly punished, including by the International Criminal Court (ICC),” he added.

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.
