Mass shooting on charter boat in Little River leaves 10 injured

Ten people were hospitalized following a mass shooting in Horry County, South Carolina, United States, on Sunday. Several are in critical condition, the Horry County Police Department reported yesterday.

Preliminary investigations indicate that the shooting erupted from an altercation during a private gathering over the Memorial Day weekend on a charter boat near Watson Avenue in Little River, around 9:30 p.m. local time. Initially, law enforcement reported 11 victims, but an update confirmed that only 10 people were affected.

“It has been determined that 10 people sustained confirmed gunshot wounds in the incident, and another person reported an unrelated injury of unknown origin,” the Police said in a statement. Although the report does not specify how many victims are in critical condition, it assured that all are stable in area hospitals. Some of the wounded were transported by the county fire rescue unit to different medical centers, while others arrived in private vehicles, the Police noted.

Authorities also shared photos of the scene where dozens of patrol cars and ambulances were seen entering and leaving the area of the shooting. Detectives continue the investigation to identify the person or persons responsible. “As the shooting is believed to be an isolated incident, there is currently no associated risk to the community,” the Police shared on social media.

Memorial Day is observed in the United States on the last Monday of May to honor the men and women who lost their lives serving in the Armed Forces.

Netanyahu cites historic success against Iran as he pledges relentless Gaza campaign

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu reiterated on Monday that Israel will not halt its offensive in Gaza until achieving its two primary objectives: the elimination of Hamas and the return of Israeli hostages still held by the Islamist group in the enclave.

“We have a mission to complete: the elimination of Hamas and the return of our hostages. We will not relent for a single moment. These are two interconnected goals,” Netanyahu declared during a visit to the headquarters of the Military Intelligence Directorate, the main intelligence arm of the Israel Defense Forces (IDF).

Netanyahu expressed full confidence that both objectives are attainable, referencing the confrontation with Iran in June as proof of Israel’s capabilities: “It was an enormous achievement of historic proportions,” he said.

“This combination of political leadership and military levels, and then the synergy between intelligence, the air force, and other branches — this combination delivered the result,” he added.

Hepatitis D declared carcinogenic as WHO urges action to end global crisis

Around 300 million people worldwide are living with hepatitis B, C, or D, and 1.3 million die each year — mostly from cirrhosis and liver cancer — the World Health Organization (WHO) reminded on World Hepatitis Day, urging stronger global action toward its eradication.

“Every 30 seconds, someone dies from severe liver disease or liver cancer linked to hepatitis — but we have the tools to stop this,” said WHO Director-General Tedros Adhanom Ghebreyesus in a statement marking the day.

The organization also highlighted that the International Agency for Research on Cancer (IARC) recently classified hepatitis D as carcinogenic to humans, joining hepatitis B and C, which were already confirmed as cancer-causing.

According to IARC studies, hepatitis D — which only affects individuals already infected with hepatitis B — is linked to a two- to six-fold higher risk of liver cancer compared to those infected solely with hepatitis B.
