At least 25 Palestinians killed in Gaza in the last few hours in Israeli attacks

At least 25 people died in Israeli attacks in different parts of the Gaza Strip throughout the night and early hours of Wednesday, according to the rescue services of the Civil Defense of the enclave.
The group’s spokesman, Mahmud Basal, confirmed that at least 11 Palestinians, including nine women, lost their lives in a bombing of a family home east of Jan Yunis, in the south of the enclave.
Palestinian media also report that a fisherman lost his life in an Israeli attack when he was at sea off the coast of Jan Yunis, near the one designated as a “humanitarian area” by Israeli forces.
In addition, nine other people, six of them women, died in another attack last night against the house of a university professor in the town of Yabalia, in the north of the Strip.
And in the Nuseirat refugee camp, in the center of the enclave, at least four people were killed in a bombing of a residence, Civil Defense said.
Since the Israeli war began in Gaza, more than eleven months ago, at least 41,000 people have lost their lives and more than 94,000 have been injured in Israeli attacks against the Palestinian enclave, according to the latest data from the Gaza Ministry of Health, controlled by Hamas.
The Israeli Army has also intensified its incursions into the occupied Palestinian territory of the West Bank.
At least five people died last night in an airstrike near the town of Tubas, in the northeast of the occupied West Bank, as confirmed today by both the Palestinian Red Crescent and the Ministry of Health of the Palestinian National Authority, which governs small parts of the territory.
According to Israeli forces, the attack was directed against a cell of armed militiamen, and they framed the operation as part of their offensive against Palestinian militias in the northern West Bank, which began last week.
The official Palestinian news agency, Wafa, has specified that the attack took place near a mosque. All the dead were between 18 and 24 years old.
In addition, two other people were killed last night in a rail in Tulkarem, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health.
On the other hand, an Israeli in his 20s is in critical condition after being run over near a Jewish settlement in the southern occupied West Bank, the emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA) said on Wednesday.
The Israeli Army confirmed the event and said that its forces eliminated the alleged attacker, whom they described as a “terrorist.”

Erin brings strong winds and storm surge despite weakening offshore

Hurricane Erin weakened to a Category 2 storm on Tuesday but continues to pose a threat to parts of the U.S. East Coast with potentially dangerous flooding, according to meteorologists.
Although the hurricane’s eye is expected to remain offshore, experts are concerned about Erin’s size, as strong winds extend hundreds of kilometers beyond the storm’s center.
In its 18:00 GMT bulletin, the U.S. National Hurricane Center (NHC) lifted tropical storm warnings for the Bahamasand Turks and Caicos Islands, but kept them in effect for parts of North Carolina.
Erin was located several hundred kilometers southeast of North Carolina and was moving northwestward.
“This means there is a risk of potentially life-threatening flooding of 60 to 120 centimeters above ground level,” said NHC Director Michael Brennan.
He also warned of the possibility of destructive waves, combined with storm surge, that could cause severe damage to beaches and coastal areas, making roads impassable.

Three U.S. Warships deploy near Venezuela to combat drug trafficking

Three U.S. naval vessels are moving toward the coasts of Venezuela, according to international media reports on Tuesday, after White House spokesperson Karoline Leavitt confirmed that President Donald Trump is ready to combat and curb international drug trafficking.
Reports indicate that the ships will reach Venezuelan waters within the next 36 hours as part of a recent U.S. deployment aimed at countering international narcotics operations.
The announcement coincides with Leavitt’s statement that Trump is prepared to “use the full extent of his power” to halt drug flows into the United States. The naval deployment involves approximately 4,000 military personnel.
“The President has been clear and consistent. He is ready to use every element of U.S. power to prevent drugs from flooding our country and to bring those responsible to justice. The Maduro regime is not the legitimate government of Venezuela—it is a narco-terror cartel,” the spokesperson said during a press conference.

Cuban authorities free salvadoran convicted in 1997 hotel bombing

Salvadoran national Otto René Rodríguez Llerena was released after serving a 30-year prison sentence for his involvement in a terrorist attack at a hotel in Cuba in 1997, the Cuban Ministry of Foreign Affairs reported.
During his trial, Rodríguez Llerena admitted to placing an explosive device at the Meliá Cohiba Hotel under the orders of anti-Castro exile leaders. He was arrested the following year when he returned to Havana with another load of explosives that failed to detonate.
“The Cuban government reiterates its commitment to combating terrorism, respecting human rights, and the need for the international community to hold accountable those who promote such acts,” the statement read.
He was released on August 15 and is the second Salvadoran to complete his sentence. In December of last year, another Salvadoran, Ernesto Cruz León, was released after planting bombs at tourist centers, one of which killed an Italian tourist identified as Fabio Di Celmo.
A third Salvadoran, Francisco Chávez Abarca, also received a 30-year sentence from Cuban courts in 2010 after being extradited from Venezuela through Interpol for actions against Cuba.
Rodríguez Llerena had requested conditional release in 2016, arguing that his actions had not caused any direct fatalities, but no further information was released about his situation until now.
