Fireworks light up the streets and sky as people celebrate Diwali
India sparkles as millions celebrate Diwali festival
NEW DELHI — Millions of Indians are celebrating Diwali, the festival of lights, one of Hinduism's most significant and widely observed festivals.While lamps and firecrackers light up homes and streets during the festival, they also worsen air pollution — a problem especially pronounced in northern India, where winter months already bring poor air quality.This year, the Supreme Court has permitted the sale and use of "green crackers" in the capital, Delhi, to help curb air pollution, ending a ban on crackers that has been in place since 2020."Green crackers" claim to emit 20–30% less pollution than traditional firecrackers, but critics doubt their actual effectiveness in protecting the environment.In recent years, several states have restricted or banned firecrackers to combat...

JERUSALEM — Special envoy Steve Witkoff and the US president's son-in-law Jared Kushner have arrived in Israel on Monday to shore up the shaky Israel-Hamas ceasefire, a day after the fragile deal faced its first flareup with Israel threatening to halt aid transfers after it said Hamas militants had killed two of its soldiers.The Israeli military later said it continued enforcing the ceasefire and an official confirmed that aid deliveries would resume on Monday.By early afternoon, it was not immediately clear if the flow of aid had restarted.More than a week has passed since the start of the US-proposed truce aimed at ending two years of devastating Israel-Hamas war in Gaza.US President Donald Trump told reporters aboard Air Force One on Sunday that Hamas has been "quite...

Israel strikes Gaza after alleged Hamas attack, testing U.S.-brokered ceasefire
GAZA — Israel launched airstrikes and artillery fire on southern Gaza on Sunday after it said its troops came under attack from Hamas militants, marking the first major test of the U.S.-brokered ceasefire aimed at ending more than two years of war.The Israeli military said Hamas fighters fired a rocket-propelled grenade in Rafah, prompting Israeli retaliation.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu held consultations with security officials and ordered the army to take “strong action” against any ceasefire violations but stopped short of threatening a return to full-scale conflict.Hamas denied involvement in the Rafah clashes, saying it remains committed to the ceasefire.The incident came as Israel identified the remains of two hostages returned overnight by Hamas — Ronen Engel, a father...
