Netanyahu fires Israeli Defense Minister after months of clashes over war and politics
TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has fired Defense Minister Yoav Gallant after months of clashes over domestic politics and Israel’s war efforts.In a recorded statement Tuesday evening, Netanyahu said that “trust between me and the minister of defense has cracked.”Israel Katz, currently the foreign minister, will become the defense minister.

Chaos and destruction as Israel strikes deep in Lebanon’s valley
BAALBEK — At the wheel of an ambulance, Samir El Chekieh drives with sirens wailing to the latest Israeli air strike in El Karak in the Bekaa Valley, eastern Lebanon.The 32-year-old firefighter and paramedic with the Lebanese Civil Defense Force (CDF) only got a few hours' sleep last night. It is now the middle of the afternoon and he still hasn’t had breakfast.Since the escalation of the war between Israel and Hezbollah, the men and women of the CDF see little rest, and brace themselves for a mass casualty incident every day.It is starkly different from the last war with Israel in 2006, Samir says. “We didn't have those kind of air strikes. Recently, a fire station was hit, and a church in the south, and our humanitarian colleagues have been killed.”CDF workers say...

'UNRWA means everything to us': Gazans fear aid collapse
GAZA — People in war-torn Gaza are already struggling with a deep humanitarian crisis — but now they fear it will get much more difficult because of Israel’s ban on the biggest UN agency that operates there.“UNRWA means everything to us: it is our life, our food, our drink and our medical care. When it closes, there will be no flour. If my son gets sick, where will I go?” asks Yasmine el-Ashry in Khan Younis.“Banning UNRWA is another war for the Palestinian people,” said registered refugee Saeed Awida.“They want to exterminate the Palestinian people and not provide us with humanitarian services.”Despite international opposition, in Israel’s parliament there was wide support for the new legislation, which will prevent Israeli officials being in contact with UNRWA — the...
