The following article appeared in the well respected Finland newspaper, Ammenusastia

"As a communist I don’t believe in heaven or the Bible but as a scientist I now believe in hell," said Dr. Azzacove. "Needless to say we were shocked to make such a discovery. But we know what we saw and we know what we heard. And we are absolutely convinced that we drilled through the gates of hell!"Dr. Azzacove continued, ". . .the drill suddenly began to rotate wildly, indicating that we had reached a large empty pocket or cavern. Temperature sensors showed a dramatic increase in heat to 2,000 degrees Fahrenheit.""We lowered a microphone, designed to detect the sounds of plate movements down the shaft. But instead of plate movements we heard a human voice screaming in pain! At first we thought the sound was coming from our own equipment.""But when we made adjustments our worst suspicions were confirmed. The screams weren’t those of a single human, they were the screams of millions of humans!"The following is a recording that claims to be the actual sounds of hell from the above article.

Biblical Words that Describe Hell-Fire and brimstone-Furnace of fire-Judgment by fire-Fiery oven-Lake of fire-Eternal punishment-Pits of darkness-Flames of fire-Burning wind-Unquenchable fire-Judgment by fire.

WHEN ARE THE 500 MILLION MIGRATING BIRDS IN ISRAEL IN THE SPRING TIME.(GET READY ISLAM TO BE BIRD SEED FOR THESE BIRDS)
https://www.youtube.com/shorts/m0bXU5Xqc5M
The 500 million migratory birds in Israel during the spring arrive from Africa and head toward Europe and Asia, with the peak migration occurring in March and April. While migration starts in late February, the most intense movements, particularly of birds of prey, storks, and pelicans, occur during the third week of March and continue into April. 
Key Details on the Spring Migration
Peak Period: Mid-March through April.
Main Migration Route: The birds use the Great Rift Valley, which includes the Hula Valley and Eilat, acting as a "bottleneck" where millions of birds fly through the narrow land bridge.
Best Spots: The Hula Lake Park (Northern Israel) and the Eilat Birding Center (Southern Israel) are primary locations for observing the migration.
Key Species: Hundreds of thousands of white storks, along with black kites, raptors, and pelicans, pass through over these months.
uration: The spring migration runs from late February and continues into June, though the heaviest traffic is in March/April. 

The 500 million migratory birds fly over Israel in the fall between late August and mid-December. The peak migration period for the autumn, when the highest volume of bird traffic occurs, is typically October and November. 
Key Fall Migration Details
Location: The Hula Valley (Agamon Hula Park) in northern Israel is the premier spot to witness this phenomenon.
Timing: Migration starts as early as late June with some waders, but intensifies from mid-August through November.
Peak Festival: The "Annual Hula Valley Bird Festival" is usually held in November to align with the peak migration traffic.
Key Species: Many birds of prey (raptors), including honey buzzards and steppe eagles, cross during this time, along with massive flocks of storks and cranes.
While roughly 500 million birds pass through in the autumn on their way to Africa, the same number crosses again in the spring (mid-February to May) on their way back to Europe and Asia. 

JEREMEIAH 49:23-27
23  Concerning Damascus.(SYRIA) Hamath is confounded, and Arpad: for they have heard evil tidings: they are fainthearted; there is sorrow on the sea;(WAR SHIPS WITH NUKES COMING ON SYRIA) it cannot be quiet.
24  Damascus is waxed feeble, and turneth herself to flee, and fear hath seized on her: anguish and sorrows have taken her, as a woman in travail.
25  How is the city of praise not left, the city of my joy!
26  Therefore her young men shall fall in her streets, and all the men of war shall be cut off in that day, saith the LORD of hosts.
27  And I will kindle a fire (NUKES OR BOMBS) in the wall of Damascus, and it shall consume the palaces of Benhadad.(ASSADS PALACES POSSIBLY IN DAMASCUS)

Report: Iran has spent 60-day MOU window getting ready to ‘widen the war’WSJ says Tehran has ramped up production of missiles and drones; IRGC reportedly sent advisers to proxies in Yemen, Iraq and Lebanon to lay plans for expanded regional conflcit By ToI Staff Today, 10:28 am-AUG 17,26

Iran spent the two months since it signed a memorandum of understanding to halt hostilities with the US preparing for ramped-up fighting rather than diplomacy, according to a Sunday night report.The 60-day negotiation period set in the MOU, which Israel isn’t party to, expires on Monday, with the sides having failed to make progress toward ending the war, instead engaging in intermittent bouts of fresh fighting.The Wall Street Journal, citing Iranian and Arab officials, said Tehran believed the US and Israel were themselves merely buying time for a future attack, while allowing the global economy to recover from the pressure of the previous round of fighting.Therefore, over the past 60 days, Iran has ramped up production of missiles and drones and tapped hardline figures to key positions, the report said.The WSJ report asserted that Arab intelligence officials have pointed to a “strategic shift” among Iranian leadership to “get their forces ready to widen the war.”Mohammad Hassan Sangtarash, a Tehran-based defense analyst, told the newspaper that “there is also a widespread view in Iran that the main war has not yet begun.”Israel launched its campaign against Iran on February 28, alongside the US, to degrade the Iranian regime’s military capabilities, tackle threats posed by Iran — including its nuclear and ballistic missile programs — and “create the conditions” for the Iranian people to topple the regime, Israeli leaders said.Since the ceasefire under the June MOU deal broke down, Iran has resumed attacks on ships it accuses of trying to transit the Strait of Hormuz without authorization. The strait has become a central flashpoint between Washington and Tehran in efforts to end the war.While Iran pursued diplomacy, the Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps also sent advisers to discuss plans with its proxies in Iraq, Yemen and Lebanon to escalate the regional conflict, the report said, citing officials familiar with recent Arab intelligence findings.Ahead of a Houthi escalation with the Saudis in July, the IRGC provided the Yemeni rebel group with target lists including Saudi ports and energy sites and advised them on defensive strategies, the report said.On July 20, the Houthis announced a naval blockade on Saudi Arabia in the Red Sea in response to what the rebels described as a Saudi siege of Yemen, an allegation Riyadh denies.A Saudi-led coalition responded to the blockade with air strikes on what Riyadh said were Houthi military facilities in the port city of Hodeidah linked to threats against commercial shipping. The Houthis have claimed to attack Saudi oil facilities in response.The Houthi naval blockade complemented Iran’s blockade in the Strait of Hormuz.Meanwhile, the IRGC has also sent detailed target lists of energy facilities to its Arab neighbors, threatening to strike them if the US hits its energy sites, the officials told the Journal.Trump has repeatedly threatened large-scale strikes on Iran but then backed off, citing progress in talks.He has also repeatedly insisted that the Strait of Hormuz is under US control even though traffic remains throttled.Before the war, the strait carried around a fifth of the world’s oil and LNG exports, and prices have repeatedly surged since the dispute over the waterway erupted, piling economic and political pressure on Washington.Tehran signalled last week that it had agreed with Oman on a route for ships to transit the strait and the two countries were finalizing arrangements to jointly manage the waterway.Indirect contact between the two sides via mediators has continued with little sign of a diplomatic breakthrough. Iran has also set out a list of demands for reopening the strait, including payment for war damages.

US had secret backchannel with IRGC, learned it supports Iran’s negotiators – report-Axios says then-intel chief Tulsi Gabbard contacted top Iraqi Kurdish official in May to ascertain Revolutionary Guard’s position on talks; Iran sets $30,000 bounty for US soldiers By ToI Staff and Agencies 16 August 2026, 7:27 pm

The White House established a secret backchannel with Iran’s Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, according to a Sunday report, which said that the United States has been informed that the IRGC stands behind the positions of the Iranian negotiators in their talks with Washington.According to Axios, citing three unnamed sources, US officials feared that talks with Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi and Parliament Speaker Mohammad Bagher Ghalibaf were liable to be undermined by the IRGC, which is thought to be the most powerful group behind Iran’s leadership.In May, three months into the war launched by the US and Israeli strikes, then-director of National Intelligence Tulsi Gabbard reached out to Nechirvan Barzani, the president of the Kurdistan region in Iraq, who has close ties to the IRGC, to attempt to find out the position of its leader, Gen. Ahmad Vahidi.A few days later, Barzani arranged a phone call with Vahidi, during which the general assured him that the IRGC backed Araghchi and Ghalibaf, the report said“I fully support them and this is also the position of the IRGC. We prefer to solve this crisis through negotiations,” Axios quoted him as saying. His message was quickly passed to the White House via Gabbard.The Trump administration sought to expand Barzani’s role by having him host direct talks between the US and Iran in Erbil, Iraq, but the Iranians declined due to fears that representatives would be targeted by Israel, which was thought to have a strong intelligence presence in Kurdistan, the report added.That meeting never took place, but Iranian and US officials attended a summit the next month, where they signed a framework for peace talks, which have since collapsed.Gabbard has also since left her position.Iran and the United States have since traded fire sporadically, with fighting mainly centered in southern Iran and around the strategic Strait of Hormuz, and US President Donald Trump has said that he would “low key” the negotiations and focus on ramping up economic pressure on Tehran to force it to abandon its recently emboldened demands.Iran said last week that no talks are currently being held with the US, nor are there any plans for such talks to restart, though Tehran is still in contact with mediators Qatar and Pakistan.As negotiations have all but completely stopped, Axios reported that Barzani recently told the White House that he could try to restart direct talks with Iran, citing a source familiar with the matter.Top US general visits Middle East-Meanwhile, Adm. Brad Cooper, the top US military commander in the Middle East, visited the USS Lincoln aircraft carrier in the Arabian Sea during a 10-day tour in the region that concluded on Saturday, US Central Command (CENTCOM) said Sunday.The visit came as reports have emerged of mental health and supply issues aboard the long-deployed aircraft carrier.The Lincoln arrived in the Middle East in January and has been supporting the US war against Iran, including the blockade on Iranian ports. Its deployment has included a record-setting uninterrupted time at sea of more than 240 days. Extended deployments of carriers — which can have more than 5,000 sailors and Marines on board — have raised concerns about the impact not only on the ships but on service members.“History will record this deployment as one of the most operationally intense and consequential of the modern era,” Cooper said of the Lincoln strike group in a statement released Saturday.Cooper also went to Bahrain, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Saudi Arabia, and the United Arab Emirates to meet with civilian and military leaders, according to the Central Command statement.$30,000 bounty on US soldiers-As the top US regional commander visited the Middle East, Iran’s military announced on Sunday that it was offering a bounty equivalent to $30,000 for killing or capturing US soldiers, with the reward doubled if carried out by a woman.Army chief Amir Hatami said the plan had been drawn up following “the large number of requests” to participate in the financial support, according to the IRNA state news agency.There has been no known deployment of US ground forces in Iran during the Middle East war, with the exception of a rescue mission in April for a downed American pilot.Hatami did not provide any details on where or when the killing or capturing of US soldiers was expected to take place.“Anyone who kills or captures and hands over an invading American military personnel will receive a reward equivalent to $30,000 or 5 billion tomans from the Islamic Republic of Iran’s Army,” Hatami said, using an informal unit equivalent to 10,000 Iranian rials.“Courageous Iranian women who carry out such an action will receive double the reward,” he added.

In Cambodia, Iran war forcing families to choose between school for kids or survival-Developing countries reliant on imported energy are most exposed to disruptions from the war, with girls more likely to be impacted in places that prioritize sons By AP Today, 9:00 am-AUG 17,26

KAMPONG PRAHOK, Cambodia — Sou Sreynich dreams of becoming a teacher. But she knows she’s far behind.The 13-year-old first entered a classroom at 10, an age when most Cambodian children already have been in school for years. Her mother waited until she was old enough to swim, fearing the boat to school could capsize — a decision familiar to many parents on Cambodia’s Tonle Sap, the largest freshwater lake in Southeast Asia.Now, the price of gasoline has spiked because of the Iran war, an additional burden. Unlike outright school closures during COVID-19, the Iran war’s impact on education is less visible. But it is falling first and hardest on the poorest families. Soaring fuel prices are making it more expensive for children and teachers to get to school, and for governments to fund education as national budgets come under strain.On the lake, getting anywhere has always meant navigating the water. Climate change is making it harder, with increasingly unpredictable floods and droughts. Teachers at her school say 10 students have drowned over the years.If the war continues, it could push up to 23.4 million more children like Sreynich into poverty by the end of the year, according to a recent United Nations Children’s Fund report. About 80% of those children would be in Africa and Asia.Most mornings, a gas-powered boat chugs through Kampong Prahok, steered by students often no older than those climbing aboard. They pull up alongside floating homes, as peers in crisp uniforms clamber aboard, careful to keep their backpacks dry.Like most on Tonle Sap, Sreynich’s family relies on fishing to survive. They earn some money picking chili peppers and gutting fish for others. Rising fuel prices because of the Iran war mean the family can’t afford to travel to deeper waters where fish are more plentiful.When money is tight, Sreynich skips a day or two of school to work alongside her parents.She dreads every absence. “I want to complete my studies,” she said.Vulnerable children most at risk-For families already living on the edge, the war’s ripple effects are forcing difficult choices: whether to pay for food, fuel, rent and electricity, or keep every child in school.“The Iran war is likely going to force millions of children out of school and could force millions of children to make the decision not to enroll in the first place,” said Sabrina Hervey of the Qatar-based Education Above All Foundation.Some children in Southeast Asia are dropping out of school to work.Ly, 16, and her sister Nhi, 13, two of nine children from a fishing family on Vietnam’s rocky northern coast, have long drifted in and out of school as the family struggled to make ends meet.They are identified by their first names only because of Vietnamese laws protecting vulnerable minors.Their father lost his fishing job after the war pushed diesel prices so high that boat owners could not afford to go out to sea. Already burdened by debt, the family was surviving on his odd jobs. It wasn’t enough to keep all nine children fed and in school.The girls dropped out of school and moved to Vietnam’s capital Hanoi to work long hours in a restaurant, where they were exposed to sharp tools, hot surfaces and heavy lifting.For 13-year-old Nhi it was also illegal because of child labor laws.In April, the Hanoi-based nonprofit Blue Dragon Children’s Foundation intervened and the two returned to school.The war’s impact has unfolded slowly but is devastating, said Michael Brosowski with the foundation.When families reach a financial breaking point, they tend to go into triage — keeping some children enrolled while pulling others out to work, he said. The children not in school are far more vulnerable to exploitation, trafficking and homelessness.“It’s the tipping point for a lot of families,” Brosowski said.Higher fuel prices are driving up costs of nearly every part of education, from getting students and teachers to school to stocking classrooms with pencils and chalk. It’s more expensive for teachers and aid workers to reach remote communities. Governments are also grappling with rising food and energy bills, leaving less money for education.In Cambodia, everything already costs more on Tonle Sap since supplies have to be brought in by boat.“Even the electricity to run this lab is 10-times higher,” said Samphors Vorn of the nonprofit Aide et Action, which supports the school.Iran war disrupts education worldwide-Developing countries reliant on imported energy have been the most exposed to disruptions from the war. Rising fertilizer costs and falling remittances also are straining these smaller economies.The war is threatening years of progress in education and poverty reduction in Bangladesh, whose economy already was under strain.Pressure on the government’s finances, driven by rising costs for fuel and subsidies, could leave it with less money to spend on health care and education, warned a report by the UN Development Programme.In some South Asian nations, girls are likely to be affected more because families tend to prioritize sons, said Arshad Malik of the nonprofit Save the Children International. Economic hardships could mean more girls dropping out of school and an increase in child marriages, he said.South Asia accounts for 45% of the world’s child brides, the highest share of any region, according to UNICEF.More than 466 million children worldwide receive at least one meal a day at school, according to the UN World Food Programme. These meals help keep children in school, improve their ability to learn and concentrate, and support healthy brain development.Such programs also could come under pressure as the conflict disrupts fertilizer shipments and raises transport costs, especially in countries in West and Central Africa that rely heavily on imported food, said Hervey, with Education Above All.Across northern Nigeria, it is becoming more common for children to relapse into malnutrition, according to local health and aid workers.“I’m really afraid to see what’s going to happen,” Hervey said.

Completely unacceptable’: UK slams Netanyahu for calling it an ‘Islamic republic’British government says it raised the matter with Jerusalem; Israeli spokesman downplays remark, claims PM was quoting Vance-By AFP and ToI Staff 15 August 2026, 10:05 am

Britain on Friday hit back at Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu after he called the country an “Islamic republic,” branding the remarks as “completely unacceptable.”The UK additionally said it has “raised” the matter with Jerusalem.“These comments are completely unacceptable and we have raised them with the Israeli government,” a UK government spokesman said.The diplomatic dispute came after the prime minister made the reference in an Army Radio podcast interview, in which he also swiped at the UK’s stance on Israel.Netanyahu, who has long shown his admiration for Winston Churchill, noted on the podcast that the son and grandson of the World War II-era British leader were journalists who produced pro-Israel reporting on the June 1967 Six-Day War.“They came here and covered the Six Day War in a way that was very positive for us,” Netanyahu said on the bereavement-themed “Melech B’leyatzer Chayim” (King at Creating Life) podcast. “Try finding that in Britain today. What’s called ‘the Islamic republic of Britain’.”After Netanyahu called Britain an “Islamic republic,” podcast host Avi Harush, whose 20-year-old son Reef was killed fighting in Gaza in April 2024, asked whether “all of Europe isn’t already like that,” referring to the growth of Muslim communities across the continent.Netanyahu said yes, and continued: “Someone said that the first Islamic republic with nuclear weapons will be the Islamic Republic of Britain… so we’re making sure there won’t be another one in Iran.”In a BBC radio interview on Friday, prior to the British statement, Israeli government spokesman David Mencer appeared to downplay Netanyahu’s comments.“[Netanyahu] was making a quote that someone else had given,” Mencer said, noting US Vice President JD Vance had “made those comments” previously.“He was quoting what the vice president had said.”US Vice President JD Vance made a similar comment about the UK at the National Conservatism Conference in Washington in July 2024, days before being tapped as Donald Trump’s running mate.Vance, then a US senator for Ohio, said that the UK was poised to become “the first truly Islamist country with nuclear weapons” after Britain’s Labour party took power earlier that month, but added that “Pakistan already kind of counts.”Vance has since emerged as a critic of Israel within the Trump administration, and as a skeptic of the US-Israeli war against Iran.Like the Republican White House, Netanyahu has claimed Europe is being taken over by Muslim immigrants.He has argued that large Muslim populations were turning European nations against Israel, amid growing criticism from European nations — including some led by immigration skeptics — of Israel’s actions in Gaza since the Hamas onslaught on southern Israel on October 7, 2023.Britain was one of several European countries that recognized Palestinian statehood last year, infuriating Israel.More recently, its new leader, Prime Minister Andy Burnham, has said that his predecessor Keir Starmer did not put enough pressure on Israel to halt its offensive in Gaza.In an interview with The Guardian shortly before taking office, Burnham also said that Britain would consider banning trade in goods from Israeli settlements in the West Bank.Britain, usually closely aligned with Washington, has additionally kept its distance from the US-Israeli war launched in February against Iran, although Starmer allowed the US to use UK bases to launch “defensive” strikes aimed at destroying Iranian missiles and their launchers.

Ukraine launches one of its largest aerial attacks yet on Russia, killing at least 6-Hundreds of drones target Moscow, as Russian strikes hit Kyiv; NATO fighter jet intercepts drone in Romanian airspace-Today, 6:48 am-AUG 17,26

Ukraine launched hundreds of drones across Russia on Sunday, killing at least six people in one of Kyiv’s largest aerial attacks of the war.Kyiv has stepped up its attacks on Russia this year, with long-range missiles and swarms of drones targeting military industries and energy facilities. It has also increasingly pummeled giant Wildberries depots, burning billions of dollars’ worth of merchandise belonging to the Russian online retail giant. Those attacks have brought the war home to the Russian public nearly 4½ years into Moscow’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine.Meanwhile, Ukraine also came under Russian attack, with drone strikes destroying homes and torching Kyiv’s landmark book market.Russia’s Ministry of Defense said it had destroyed 822 Ukrainian drones overnight. Some 600 drones were detected headed toward the Russian capital, Moscow Mayor Sergei Sobyanin said, with a third of those destroyed over the Moscow region itself.An 83-year-old man was killed after a Ukrainian drone hit a private home in the Moscow region, local Gov. Andrey Vorobyov said. He also confirmed that a Ukrainian attack had sparked a blaze at a Wildberries warehouse in the town of Podolsk.A drone attack targeted three towns in Russia’s southwestern Rostov region, killing five people, local Gov. Yury Slyusar said. The attack, with more than 150 drones, damaged several homes and a railway station and sparked a forest fire.Russian strikes kill 5 in Ukraine-A Russian missile attack on Ukraine’s Kryvyi Rih killed two people and wounded 14 others, Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky wrote on social media Sunday. He also said that one more person had been killed in the city of Sumy.ArcelorMittal Kryvyi Rih, Ukraine’s largest steel producer, confirmed that one of its sites had been hit in a missile attack and that operations had been partially suspended.Elsewhere, a man and a woman died when their home was hit by a Russian strike in Ukraine’s southern Zaporizhzhia region, said Ivan Fedorov, the head of the local military administration.Russian attacks also sparked fires throughout the Ukrainian capital, Kyiv, wounding six people. A blaze took hold at one of the city’s largest book markets, tearing through kiosks huddled close to the Pochaina metro station. Firefighters fought back the flames, which sent plumes of black smoke across the capital, and picked their way through rubble where the market’s crowded pavilions once stood.“Wherever the Russians can reach with their ballistic missiles, they strike civilian infrastructure,” Zelensky said.Russia’s Ministry of Defense said Sunday that it had targeted a metallurgical plant in Kryvyi Rih and several military-industrial sites in Kyiv, including a manufacturing facility for Ukraine’s Flamingo missiles.The domestically produced missiles are increasingly key to Ukraine’s long-range attacks on Russia, with Zelensky announcing Saturday that Kyiv had used the weapons to attack a rocket research and production center in Samara approximately 900 kilometers (560 miles) from the Ukrainian border.NATO jet downs drone in Romanian airspace-Romania’s Ministry of National Defense said Sunday that a Spanish Air and Space Force F-18 fighter jet shot down a drone that had entered Romanian airspace.The drone’s entry into the NATO member’s airspace was detected by surveillance systems at 4:44 a.m., the ministry said, about 24 kilometers (14.9 miles) north of the eastern city of Galati near the border with neighboring Moldova. Moldova is a landlocked country between Ukraine and Romania.A Spanish F-18 aircraft that was performing air policing duties “made radar contact with the target and received engagement approval,” the ministry said. “The drone was safely shot down by the F-18 aircraft at 05:01.”The ministry later said that drone debris was also reported in the Black Sea around 10 a.m. on Sunday, about 1.5 kilometers (0.9 miles) from the coastal city of Constanta. Separately, another drone fragment was found on Sunday 1 nautical mile (1.85 kilometers) from Constanta.Romanian officials did not specify the drone’s originHowever, Moldova’s Ministry of Defense said Sunday that its Army surveillance systems had detected a Geran-type Shahed drone in Moldovan airspace, which entered from Ukraine and exited toward Romania.The spate of drone incidents comes weeks after Romanian pilots shot down three drones over three days as Russia intensified attacks against Ukraine near the border. Since Russia’s full-scale invasion of Ukraine, Romania has reported dozens of drone incidents, including some that have crashed and exploded on its territory.Acting Foreign Minister Oana Toiu said in a post on X that the Spanish deployment in Romania was scaled up “at the request of Romania and NATO to bolster the Eastern Flank following prior drone incidents,” and that it was Spain’s fourth such deployment.

Trump cheers defense pact between Saudis, Turkey and Pakistan: ‘The Mideast is coming together’US president says the agreement is ‘BIG, BOLD, IMPORTANT FIRST STEP’ toward having countries ‘finally being able to defend themselves in a more meaningful way’By Jacob Magid and Agencies Today, 6:05 am-AUG 17,26

US President Donald Trump on Sunday touted the defense pact inked earlier this month by Saudi Arabia, Turkey, and Pakistan.“It shows how the Middle East is coming together and how countries will finally be able to defend themselves in a more meaningful way,” Trump wrote on Truth Social, calling the agreement a “BIG, BOLD, IMPORTANT FIRST STEP.”The three-way agreement, signed August 7, comes as the US-Israel war with Iran that began in late February has extended across the Middle East, including Iran-backed Houthi rebel attacks, upending the security architecture in the region and forcing a rethink of decades of conventional wisdom rooted in American military supremacy.Pakistan’s foreign ministry said the pact meant an attack on any member would be regarded as an attack on all, adding it was “intended to strengthen collective deterrence.”The agreement, which also rejects Israel’s hegemony, declared a “shared commitment to further strengthening their collective security and to promoting peace, security and stability in the region and beyond.”The three countries will also share a commitment to participating in efforts to resolve the conflict between Iran and the United States.Iran has also touted the trilateral defense deal, claiming it represent a shift away from alliances with the US.But some analysts have downplayed attempts by either side to elevate the importance of the agreement, given that none of the participants are likely to militarily intervene on behalf of another country if it comes under attack.Turkey, which has NATO’s second-largest army, has said the pact with nuclear-armed Pakistan and top oil exporter Saudi Arabia was open to expansion — with Egypt as a potential candidate — and did not seek to replace any existing alliances.

US officials reportedly to tour West Bank town that settler extremists are besieging-TV report says administration wants Israeli officials to join visit to Qusra; Shin Bet said working to compile sufficient evidence against suspects involved in the violence-By ToI Staff Today, 3:06 am-AUG 17,26

A delegation of senior American officials intends to go to the West Bank village of Qusra in the next few days, where violent settlers have besieged Palestinians residents, to see for themselves what’s going on there, Israeli television reported Sunday.The US officials reportedly asked that senior Israeli defense officials join them at the village south of Nablus to explain what is going on there, and how they plan to tackle the broad spiraling phenomenon of Jewish settler violence. US envoy Jared Kushner is due in Israel on Monday, though there was no suggestion in the Channel 12 news report that he was set to join the trip.US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee last week condemned the violent settlers at Qusra as “Israeli terrorists.”As of earlier Sunday, settlers were near but not inside the village, where residents said the Israel Defense Forces was deployed but still not allowing them back to some homes.The TV report said the IDF gave Israel Police “dozens of photos” of those who invaded the village and carried out violence there, so that the police will track and arrest them. However, the police have said that the IDF’s material does not specify what the photographed suspects did and thus does not constitute a basis for arrest.According to the report, the Shin Bet was working to compile enough material to charge the suspects in the Qusra attacks.Settler violence has mounted in recent years, with near-daily, sometimes deadly attacks taking place throughout the West Bank, but few suspects arrested and charged. Critics accuse the government of condoning or even encouraging the attacks. In addition, IDF troops have been accused of standing by and allowing the violence, or even aiding it in some cases.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has remained silent since the settlers first began besieging the homes in Qusra, which the United States reportedly wants him to condemn publicly.Despite the reported frustration behind closed doors, the US has refrained from publicly calling out Israel over the latest wave of settler violence. The Trump administration has adopted a vastly different stance than former US president Joe Biden, who sanctioned violent settlers and regularly called out Israel for not addressing the phenomenon. Trump canceled Biden’s sanctions regime on his first day in office and has yet to weigh in on the issue personally.

Jerusalem Reform synagogue vandalized over Shabbat: ‘Won’t dim our light’-Kol HaNeshama says no congregants were on the premises during attack; MK Gilad Kariv, a Reform rabbi, slams the vandals as ‘incited hooligans’By Noam Lehmann Today, 1:37 am-AUG 17,26

The well-known Kol HaNeshama synagogue in Jerusalem’s Baka neighborhood was vandalized during Shabbat, after a group of youths breached the synagogue’s grounds, the congregation said Sunday.The assailants broke a window, entered through it and tore a Pride flag in the main sanctuary, “damaging a work of art that hangs there,” Kol HaNeshama said in a statement.Kol HaNeshama’s Rabbi Debi Shoua-Haim told The Times of Israel that no congregation members were present at the time of the attack, which security camera footage placed at about half past midnight early Saturday.The congregation filed a complaint with police, which on Saturday sent a detective to take prints and view security camera footage, she added.A still frame from the footage, published online by the Israel Movement for Reform and Progressive Judaism, shows at least three people breached the synagogue grounds.“Upon receiving the report, police launched an investigation, in which several actions are being carried out and all lines of inquiry are being examined,” the police said, declining to elaborate and citing the ongoing investigation.Kol HaNeshama, one of some 50 progressive Jewish synagogues in Israel, has long suffered anti-Reform animus, including two similar acts of vandalism in 2023.“Vandalism and violence won’t dim our light,” the congregation said. “We hope enforcement authorities quickly find the criminals and bring them to justice.”Democrats MK Gilad Kariv, a Reform rabbi who directed the progressive Judaism movement before entering the Knesset, slammed the vandals as “incited hooligans” and accused the government of “fostering gratuitous hatred and delegitimization of liberal Jewish denominations.”“In the dead of night, [the vandals] smashed the glass, entered the prayer hall, vandalized pictures, and tore down the pride flag that was hanging in the entrance hall, Kariv wrote in a post on X.Kariv also noted the timing of the vandalism at Kol HaNeshama and the Friday attack against one of the largest Reform synagogues in the world, Manhattan’s Central Synagogue. The suspect in the Manhattan attack was charged with multiple hate crimes, and no serious injuries were reported.

Former captive Rom Braslavski asks to execute his own captor-Ben Gvir: We should kill ’30 to 40′ of Israel’s enemies in Gaza every night, ‘they’re not worthy of life’In comments made to ex-hostage and shared widely in Arab media, minister says IDF should even kill operatives that don’t pose immediate threat: ‘They shouldn’t live, they’re not even people’By AP and ToI Staff Today, 12:52 am-AUG 17,26

National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir called for killing “30 to 40” people in the Gaza Strip each night, apparently referring to Hamas operatives and other enemies of Israel, in comments made in an interview aired Saturday and shared widely by Arab media outlets Sunday.The far-right lawmaker, who holds one of the most senior positions in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, made the statement while speaking to former Palestinian Islamic Jihad hostage Rom Braslavski, in the inaugural episode of the ex-captive’s “October 8” podcast.“It’s no secret, I disagree with the prime minister,” Ben Gvir said of Israel’s scaled-back military operations against Hamas and other targets in Gaza amid an international push to move ahead with US President Donald Trump’s peace plan.“I think we should carry out targeted assassinations in Gaza, taking down 30 to 40 every night,” he said.“Not just those who pose an immediate threat. No, there are people there who are not worthy of life,” he elaborated.“They shouldn’t live,” Ben Gvir continued. “They’re not even people.”Ben Gvir is a member of the security cabinet, but he does not have authority over the military and cannot order strikes on Gaza. But, after operating for decades within Israel’s far-right fringe, he is now among the most influential people in the country.He also has substantial control over key parts of Israel’s security apparatus, running the country’s prisons — where thousands of Palestinians from Gaza and the West Bank are incarcerated — as well as the national police force.In the interview, Ben Gvir advocated for mass emigration of Palestinians from Gaza — a proposal that international lawyers say could amount to ethnic cleansing — and resettlement of the enclave by Israel.“I see all of Gaza as ours,” said Ben Gvir. “Settlements not just in Gush Katif [a bloc of settlements evacuated in 2005] but throughout Gaza, encouraging as much emigration as possible, sending them to their countries, and for the terrorists, no emigration, nothing, just to kill them one by one.”In the same podcast, Braslavski, who was held by terrorists in Gaza for over two years, asked Ben Gvir if he could personally execute his captor.“Let me be the one who hangs him,” he asked the far-right minister.“With my own hands I will execute every terrorist in Israel,” the former captive said.Ben Gvir responded that he would “turn the world upside-down to make that happen.”Israel earlier this year passed a law to establish a special military tribunal to try Palestinian terrorists accused of committing atrocities during the October 7, 2023, attacks. The tribunal will be able to charge the assailants with all relevant crimes, including genocide under the terms of Israel’s 1950 Law for the Prevention of Genocide, harming Israeli sovereignty, causing war, assisting an enemy during a time of war, and terror charges under Israel’s 2016 law for combating terrorism.Those convicted of genocide charges would be liable for the death penalty.While the death penalty formally exists in Israeli law, it has been carried out only once — the 1962 execution of Nazi war criminal Adolf Eichmann.

UNRWA alleges Israeli takeover of agency buildings in East Jerusalem-‘These are not UNRWA properties, but privately owned properties for which the municipality has signed a usage agreement,’ Jerusalem Municipality says-By Nurit Yohanan-16 August 2026, 11:44 pm

The United Nations Relief and Works Agency for Palestinian refugees claims that Israel is taking over buildings that belong to the agency in the Shuafat refugee camp in East Jerusalem. The Jerusalem Municipality denied the allegation.According to an UNRWA statement, shared by its West Bank director Roland Friedrich on X on Thursday, “Personnel associated with the Jerusalem Municipality have in recent days entered UNRWA facilities without authorization, including the school compound, health center, and community services office.”The Jerusalem Municipality told The Times of Israel that “these are not UNRWA properties, but privately owned properties for which the municipality has signed a usage agreement.”“According to the owners of these properties, UNRWA itself unlawfully took control of them and did not pay [rent] during this period. The municipality intends to open educational institutions at the site for the benefit of residents of the surrounding neighborhoods,” the municipality said.UNRWA charged in its statement that the premises were forcibly entered by breaking locks, and that contractors working on behalf of the municipality had begun carrying out work at the sites. The agency asserted that the moves violate international law protecting UNRWA property.In late 2024, Israel passed legislation banning UNRWA from operating in Israeli territory, including East Jerusalem, alleging that the UN agency was riddled with Hamas terrorists and fomenting anti-Israel sentiment in its schools.Following the legislation, Israel shut down UNRWA schools in the Shuafat refugee camp and other parts of East Jerusalem, leaving several hundred students without educational institutions.Israel has repeatedly alleged and shown evidence that employees of the UN agency were actively involved in terror groups in the Gaza Strip, and some participated in the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led invasion and slaughter.In June, amid Israeli accusations that UN staffers were Hamas operatives, UNRWA fired 70 Gaza employees “to mitigate safety and security risks for the refugees” without mentioning the name of the terror group.Israel has also long accused the agency’s schools of inciting hatred of Israel and glorification of attacks against Israelis.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report.

UK, US both said probing alleged ties between China and an anti-Israel protest group-Telegraph report says Code Pink suspected of receiving funds from a Beijing-backed tech tycoon to stage pro-Palestinian demonstrations By Ethan Rubinson 16 August 2026, 8:51 pm

The United States and United Kingdom are both investigating alleged ties between China and a pro-Palestinian protest group, according to a recent report in The Telegraph, after an earlier story in the UK paper revealed that far-left feminist organization Code Pink is suspected of receiving funds from Beijing to stage anti-Israel protests in Britain.Code Pink has staged dozens of protests in the UK and US since the war in Gaza began with the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, attacks. Its website says it supports “Palestinians’ right to resist the violent Israeli occupation of Palestine,” and that it is “committed to supporting Palestinian liberation from abroad.”According to The Telegraph, the UK’s Home Office’s probe into the group’s funding is part of a larger investigation into foreign influence and interference in Britain. The paper said that the probe comes amid concern in London that Beijing is looking to deepen societal tensions and wage “political warfare” in the country.Code Pink is suspected of receiving 250,000 British pounds ($338,000) from a company connected to a China-based British tech tycoon named Neville Roy Singham, who has previously been accused of funding Chinese propaganda, the report said, though he has consistently denied such allegations. Singham is married to Code Pink co-founder Jodie Evans.Commenting on the probe, an unnamed government spokesperson said: “The first duty of government is to protect our national security. That is why we have brought forward some of the most robust measures to defend our country and democracy from state-backed threats.”“Protecting the UK’s democracy and democratic institutions is fundamental to our national security, and we will continue to take whatever action is necessary to safeguard them,” the spokesperson added.The US is also looking into the allegations, the report said.The US probe is being conducted by a congressional committee alongside the Justice Department, the report said, and is looking into whether Singham “used his money to spread pro-China propaganda and advance the interests of Beijing.”The report quoted Congressional Ways and Means Committee chairman Jason Smith, a Republican from Missouri, as saying that “it’s clear from the investigation that Singham’s money and influence does not stop at America’s borders.”“The committee is well aware that Singham’s funding is supporting pro-Hamas and pro-communist causes not only in the United States, but also overseas, including in the United Kingdom,” Smith said.According to the report, the Justice Department has launched a federal grand jury investigation into Singham’s alleged ties to China and pro-Palestinian protest groups.Both the UK and US have seen a surge in anti-Israeli protests as well as antisemitic sentiment since the war in Gaza began in 2023.

Iran pushes bill to criminalize journalists’ communication with ‘hostile media’-Legislation would further outlaw contact with foreign media, send Iranians who interview with US or Israeli outlets to prison amid crackdown on journalists in the Islamic Republic-By Reuters and ToI Staff 16 August 2026, 4:45 pm

DUBAI — Iran’s parliament approved a bill on Sunday that would criminalize interviews and other communications with media deemed hostile to the Islamic Republic, including US or Israeli media and outlets financed by either country, Iran’s Shargh newspaper reported.Under the bill, which must still be reviewed by the Guardian Council before it can become law, interviews or participation in discussions with such media would be banned and violations punishable by six months to two years in prison.Interviews with other foreign media would require notification to the intelligence ministry, while contact with foreign embassies, offices of foreign organizations or other non-Iranian institutions without notification and written permission from the foreign ministry would be punishable by a fine and deprivation of certain social rights.The bill would also harden penalties for economic crimes committed under the direction or supervision of foreigners, ban providing information to foreigners without intelligence ministry approval, and restrict scientific cooperation with foreign institutions outside an approved list.It would punish policy or legislative proposals made under the direction of foreign intelligence services if they harm Iran’s security or independence, with prison terms of up to 30 years. Cases would be heard by Revolutionary Courts.The move does not mark the first time Iran has criminalized cooperation with foreign entities. A law passed in 2025 after a 12-day war with Israel imposed tougher penalties for alleged cooperation with hostile states.Iranian photojournalist Yalda Moaiery was sentenced in absentia last week to 15 years under that law, over allegations that included giving interviews to media deemed hostile and providing photographs to US and Israel-linked organizations.Moaiery said she shared photographs showing damage from airstrikes in Iran with CNN and appeared in an interview about her reporting in March 2026.The award-winning photographer said she has 10 days to appeal under the 2025 espionage law, half the time allowed under previous legislation.Moaiery, who has previously been imprisoned for her work, said she remained committed to her work despite the prospect of further imprisonment.“None of these sentences, however, has ever caused me to abandon my path, even for a moment. I have continued to document and show the realities of Iranian society,” she said. “I don’t have anything to lose. The regime took everything from me and the only thing that I still have is my truth and honesty as an observer.”The crackdown on journalists comes amid a surge in executions of those accused of spying for Israel and the US or involvement in the mass anti-government protests that were brutally suppressed earlier this year.Iranian authorities executed at least 1,639 people last year, a record high since 1989, according to human rights groups, said to be the second most executions of any country, after China.

14 These shall make war with the Lamb, and the Lamb shall overcome them: for he is Lord of lords, and King of kings: and they that are with him are called, and chosen, and faithful.
15 And he saith unto me, The waters which thou sawest, where the whore sitteth, are peoples, and multitudes, and nations, and tongues.(VATICAN-CATHOLICS ALL AROUND THE WORLD OVER 1 BILLION)

17 For God hath put in their hearts to fulfil his will, and to agree, and give their kingdom unto the beast, until the words of God shall be fulfilled.

Pope calls to end violence against West Bank Palestinians as settler attacks surge-Amid siege in Qusra, Pope Leo XIV slams ‘repeated violence’ against Palestinian civilians, urges international community to ‘take action’ towards two-state solution By Reuters and ToI Staff 16 August 2026, 10:23 pm

CASTEL GANDOLFO, Italy — Pope Leo XIV called on Sunday for an end to violence against Palestinians in the West Bank, amid a surge of attacks by extremist settlers and a siege in the territory’s village of Qusra.The residents of two homes on the outskirts of Qusra had been under siege since August 9, when Israeli settlers surrounded the buildings in an apparent effort to compel their residents – including young children – to flee. Israeli soldiers have since been deployed to the road outside the homes, blocking the occupants from leaving while apparently attempting to prevent settlers from returning.“I renew my appeal for an end to the repeated violence against the Palestinian civilian population in the West Bank,” the pope said, without mentioning specific confrontations or attacks.His comments come after residents of Taybeh, the West Bank’s only Christian village, appealed to Leo for help amid settler attacks threatening members of the community.“I urgently ask the international community to take action so as to advance the two-state solution, for a fair and lasting peace,” the pope added after noon prayers at his Castel Gandolfo residence outside Rome.The Vatican has long backed the idea of a future Palestinian state, which has been recognized by more than 150 of 193 UN member states as encompassing the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and East Jerusalem, which Israel has annexed and considers its undivided capital.Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government, the most right-wing in Israel’s history, has overseen massive settlement construction in the West Bank that Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich says is aimed at burying the idea of such a state.Settler violence has mounted in recent years, with near-daily, sometimes deadly attacks taking place throughout the West Bank, but few suspects have been arrested or charged. Critics accuse the government of condoning or even encouraging the attacks. In addition, IDF troops have been accused of standing by and allowing the violence, or even aiding it in some cases.

Jewish prayer books reportedly allowed onto Temple Mount for first time-Worshipers say police permitted them to ascend with siddurim; right-wing journalist Arnon Segal posts photo of men praying at site while reading from the prayer books By ToI Staff 16 August 2026, 9:28 pm

Jewish worshipers were reportedly allowed to use prayer books at the Temple Mount on Sunday, marking the latest in a series of blows to a status quo arrangement that bans non-Muslim prayer at the flashpoint Jerusalem holy site.While in the past, police would eject or detain Jewish visitors caught praying on the Temple Mount, the policy has largely fallen to the wayside over the past three years under National Security Minister Itamar Ben Gvir, who has repeatedly demanded that police allow Jews to pray there.On Sunday, Arnon Segal, a right-wing journalist and activist who seeks to expand Jewish religious freedom at the site, posted a picture of men praying on the Temple Mount while reading from siddurim, or books of Jewish liturgy.In the photo posted Sunday, towels are seen on the ground in front of the men, indicating the inclusion of prostration in ritual worship on the esplanade, which was the home of the two ancient Jewish Temples.“Still no explicit permit but a first try to make sure the Middle East doesn’t lose its mind over this,” Segal wrote, calling the event “historic.”According to Haaretz, citing Segal and an unnamed activist, police allowed the visitors to ascend the site with the prayer books.The Israel Police told Haaretz that the site is managed “in accordance with the instructions of the political leadership, standard practices at the site and based on an operational assessment.”The Temple Mount, known to Muslims as the Haram al-Sharif, is the holiest site for Jews and the site of the Dome of the Rock and the Al-Aqsa Mosque, the third holiest shrine in Islam. It has been a frequent flashpoint for violence in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.Under a fragile agreement between Israel and Jordan established after the 1967 Six Day War, only Muslims are permitted to worship on the Temple Mount itself, while Jews pray at the Western Wall, revered as a remnant of the Second Temple. Israel maintains overall security at the site, but the Muslim Waqf administers religious activities there.But that has drastically shifted since Ben Gvir took office.Ben Gvir has openly led prayers at Temple Mount, while the Israel Police first allowed printed prayer sheets in January. Jewish and Christian groups have gone to the site to sing and pray, with some even fully prostrating themselves on the ground without police intervention, despite the formal ban on Jewish prayer.In response to Ben Gvir’s changes, which have provoked outrage in the Muslim world, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has frequently insisted that “Israel’s policy of maintaining the status quo on the Temple Mount has not changed and will not change.”

Eight Muslim nations accuse Israel of torpedoing process-Kushner meets Hamas chief in Egypt in push for Gaza disarmament; IDF continues strikes-Hamas says it will only begin disarming if Netanyahu publicly commits to plan, diplomat tells ToI; Egyptian, Turkish and Qatari mediators also present; after his first meet with terror group head since ceasefire, Kushner flies to Israel-By Jacob Magid,Emanuel Fabian-and Agencies 16 August 2026, 6:33 pm

US President Donald Trump’s son-in-law and top aide Jared Kushner met with Hamas chief Khalil al-Hayya in the Egyptian coastal city of El-Alamein on Sunday, an Arab diplomat told The Times of Israel, even as Israel kept up strikes targeting terror groups in the Strip.At the talks, Hamas said it would only begin disarming, as required by the US-backed Board of Peace’s Gaza plan, if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu publicly commits to adhering to the terms of the plan, an Arab diplomat told The Times of Israel. Hamas said later that it had asked the Board of Peace to “compel” Israel to accept the plan.Kushner was joined in the talks by Board of Peace senior envoys Nickolay Mladenov and Tony Blair, as well as top diplomats from Mideast mediating countries Egypt, Qatar, and Turkey.Sunday’s meeting was Kushner’s first with Hayya and other Hamas officials since October 2025, when he sat down with them for the first time to finalize a ceasefire and hostage release deal with Israel.Trump officials have defended the engagement with the US-designated terror group as necessary for advancing Washington’s Gaza peace plan, while critics have argued that such meetings legitimize Hamas.Kushner used the meeting to lean on Hamas to begin implementing the Board of Peace’s disarmament plan that the terror group agreed to on July 30, the Arab diplomat from one of the mediating countries said.Hayya told Kushner that Hamas remains committed to the disarmament plan, but will only implement it if Israel upholds its end of the bargain, noting Netanyahu’s public rejection of the proposal, the Arab diplomat said.Kushner sought to assure Hayya that the US-controlled Board of Peace would lean on Israel to halt strikes in Gaza and gradually withdraw from the Strip once Hamas begins handing over its weapons, the diplomat added.Netanyahu has insisted that Israel will conduct no withdrawals until Hamas has been completely disarmed, though a Board of Peace source has told The Times of Israel that the premier privately has shown more flexibility.While Board of Peace officials had touted an initial halt on Israeli strikes in Gaza, which followed Hamas’s acceptance of the disarmament plan, IDF killings in the Strip have picked up again over the past week.Kushner, during the Sunday meeting, pressed Hamas to cease shows of force throughout the Strip, which have included the deployment of armed and uniformed Hamas members on the streets of Gaza, the Arab diplomat said.He also urged the Hamas delegation led by Hayya to allow for a smooth handover of governing authority in the Strip to the new Palestinian technocratic government overseen by the Board of Peace, known as the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza (NCAG), the diplomat said.While the Board of Peace was hoping to conduct the first handover of weapons from Hamas to the NCAG in the coming weeks, the Arab diplomat said that is unlikely to take place before the end of the year, as the International Stabilization Force tasked with assisting in the process was still in the very initial phases of training.Moreover, the diplomat expressed skepticism that Netanyahu would allow for any significant progress of the Board of Peace disarmament plan before the October 27 Knesset election. There will then likely be an additional one- to two-month lull in progress, as the next Israeli government is set up.While senior Trump administration officials have been willing to engage at times with Hamas, the more moderate Palestinian Authority has not received any meetings from such senior Trump officials, who have paid less attention to developments in the West Bank, where the PA has nominal authority.Both Kushner and Hayya held additional meetings in Egypt, with Kushner sitting down with Egyptian President Abdel-Fattah al-Sissi and Hayya meeting with Egyptian intelligence chief Hassan Rashad.The meeting between Kushner and Sissi “emphasized the need for all parties to fulfill their obligations under the Gaza Strip ceasefire agreement,” according to presidential spokesperson Mohamed El-Shennawy.Kushner departed Egypt on Sunday evening for Israel, where he will meet on Monday with Netanyahu, together with Mladenov and Blair.In addition to halting strikes in Gaza and pushing for Israeli withdrawals in the event that Hamas begins disarming, Kushner will lean on Netanyahu to fulfill humanitarian-related commitments that were made as part of the October 2025 ceasefire, the Arab diplomat said.These include allowing 600 trucks per day of aid into the Strip and allowing the repair of critical infrastructure throughout the enclave.Additional Israeli authorizations are also needed to allow for the deployment of the ISF in Gaza and the establishment of a pilot humanitarian zone that the Board of Peace wants to establish on the ruins of the southern Gaza city of Rafah.As for the Yellow Line ceasefire demarcation, which Israel unilaterally pushed toward the coast to give it control of over 60 percent of Gaza — in violation of the October ceasefire that left the IDF in control of roughly 53 percent — Kushner is not expected to raise the issue during his meetings with Netanyahu, the Arab diplomat said.A Board of Peace source told The Times of Israel last week that Israeli forces aren’t physically deployed along the new Yellow Line and it therefore is not a major concern for the Gaza deal mediators.Strikes continue-Meanwhile, on Sunday, the Israeli military said it targeted two terror operatives, who were advancing attacks, in two separate strikes.A member of the terror group Palestinian Islamic Jihad was targeted in southern Gaza’s Khan Younis, and a Hamas operative was targeted in Nuseirat in central Gaza, according to the military.“The terrorists advanced terror attacks and were struck in precise aerial strikes to remove the threat,” the army says.Palestinian media reported that several people were injured in both strikes.The Gaza strikes came a day after an IDF tank was struck by a Hamas explosive device in the southern Gaza Strip, with the Israeli military decrying the incident as a violation of the ceasefire in the enclave.The Israel Defense Forces said the incident took place during operations of the Givati Brigade near the Yellow Line, which divides the Israeli-held part of Gaza from the Hamas-held part, with no injuries caused.Amid efforts to advance a US-backed plan to disarm Hamas in the Strip, Israel quietly halted airstrikes in Gaza for a week before resuming them on Wednesday.The US-backed Board of Peace is trying to move forward with its roadmap for postwar Gaza, which Hamas has accepted, while calling on the US and other mediators to pressure Israel into agreement. The terror group has avoided the use of the term “disarmament,” saying instead that it agrees to hand over weapons to be stored under a US-backed Palestinian technocrat administration, the National Committee for the Administration of Gaza, that would run affairs in the territory instead of Hamas, under the supervision of the Board of Peace.Israeli officials warn that the terror organization is exploiting the process to prevent renewed Israeli military action, with top officials reportedly calling Hamas’s agreement to the deal a “strategic ambush” of Israel.Egypt, Jordan, UAE, Qatar, Turkey, Saudis slam Israel’s refusal-Amid Israel’s refusal to move forward with the deal, several top Muslim countries on Sunday called on the US to enforce Israel’s compliance.In a joint statement, the countries including Egypt, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates, Turkey, Pakistan, and Indonesia said Israel the rejection threatens Trump’s intensified efforts to end war in Gaza.“Israel bears responsibility for disrupting peace efforts in Gaza and the Palestinian territories,” the statement read. “These positions amount to a direct repudiation of the Comprehensive Plan, jeopardize its implementation, and fundamentally undermine the collective efforts undertaken to achieve a just and lasting peace.”Israel’s rejection of the plan “directly threatens to derail the extensive efforts exerted by US President Trump to bring an end to the war in Gaza and establish the conditions for lasting peace,” it said.The countries called for “sustained and active US engagement to ensure and enforce Israel’s full compliance with the commitments and arrangements envisaged under the Comprehensive Plan and its Road Map, and to prevent further obstruction of their implementation.”Israel therefore bears “direct and full responsibility for any consequences resulting from its continued rejection, obstruction, delay or non-compliance, including any resulting deterioration of the situation on the ground and disruption of ending the war in Gaza.”“The ministers further call upon the Board of Peace, with the active support and engagement of the United States, to take immediate and concrete measures within its mandate to uphold the integrity of the Comprehensive Plan and prevent any party from obstructing its implementation,” the statement added.Times of Israel staff contributed to this report

Two dead, hundreds evacuated from fires on island near Athens-Nine people require care for burns as a fast-moving blaze sweeps through two popular beaches, many filled with elderly residents; hundreds evacuated by sea-By John Hadoulis and Hervé BAR 16 August 2026, 11:02 pm

ATHENS, Greece (AFP) — Two people died and hundreds of weekend bathers were hurriedly evacuated Sunday after two fires broke out on the Greek island of Salamis near Athens in less than half an hour, the fire department said.While another fire on the Aegean island of Skyros was brought under control, a fire department spokesman told AFP that “two bodies were recovered” from the Peristeria beach area in the south of Salamis.“Over 570 people were evacuated on coast guard patrol boats and other vessels,” a coastguard spokeswoman told AFP.Fire department communications director Vassilis Vathrakogiannis said the separate fires had broken out in Peristeria and near Selinia, two popular beaches in the island’s south and east, within 20 minutes of each other.With hundreds enjoying a sunny Sunday at the beach a short boat ride from Athens, the civil protection ministry issued four evacuation orders in quick succession.The Greek blazes come as Europe battles a succession of wildfires breaking out in tinderbox-like conditions, driven by widespread droughts and high temperatures that scientists have linked to climate change.Spread in seven minutes-But two people, reportedly an elderly couple, died before firefighters could get to them, Vathrakogiannis said in a televised address.With the wind reaching up to 61 kilometers (38 miles) per hour, the fire “spread rapidly in seven minutes,” he said.Nine people required medical care for burns, state agency ANA said.Greek TV stations showed footage of several homes gutted by the flames.Salamis, just west of Athens, has some 37,000 residents, many of them elderly, and the beaches were full of people on Sunday, including day travelers, officials said.Battling through rocky terrain, firefighters managed to keep the blaze in Selinia from scaling a mountain and linking up with the other fire, Salamis’s deputy mayor Thodoris Zannis told the ERT TV station.A fire department spokesman told AFP that the Selinia blaze had been put out by the evening, while scattered pockets of fire remained at Peristeria.The fire service mobilized a large force of some 260 firefighters, nearly 60 engines, 10 aircraft, and seven helicopters, rushing in reinforcements from the mainland.Skyros blaze contained-After largely escaping the heatwave temperatures that blanketed much of Europe earlier this summer, Greece has been hit with several major wildfires since late July, fueled by unusually strong winds.Firefighters had largely contained a blaze on the island of Skyros earlier, an AFP reporter said.A local forestry official said the fire, which started Saturday, had burned some 1,300 hectares of forest.The same northwestern part of the island had been struck by fires in 2008 and 2014.Thirty-six blazes have broken out over the past 24 hours around the country, according to the fire department.Five firefighters have died so far, including a Danish pilot killed in a mid-air collision between two helicopters while battling a blaze near Athens earlier this month.Winds were expected to ease later Sunday. According to the civil protection ministry, no area will be above 3 out of 5 on the national fire risk scale on Monday for the first time in 10 days.Greece is hit by wildfires every year.Experts say the risk is growing because of human-fueled climate change, which has made droughts and other extreme weather events more severe, frequent, and longer-lasting.

Powerful 7.7 magnitude quake hits off Indonesian coast-Initial reports indicated there was damage to homes and public facilities-The Associated Press · Posted: Aug 14, 2026 7:45 PM EDT | Last Updated: 6 hours ago

A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia early Saturday, damaging buildings and homes, and triggering a tsunami warning. Authorities urged people on affected coastlines to move to higher ground.The U.S Geological Survey said the quake hit Indonesia's Flores region with a depth of 10 kilometers at 5:58 a.m. Indonesia time. Its epicentre was 68 kilometres north-northwest of the city of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara province.The initial quake was followed by several aftershocks. There were no immediate reports of casualties.Indonesia's Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency issued a tsunami warning for part of East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi provinces, and urged residents to stay away from beaches and riverbanks.The agency located the shallow undersea quake near Flores island.Residents along affected coastlines were advised to move to higher ground as officials are closely monitoring coastal tide gauges for any changes.The quake was felt across much of Flores island. Initial reports indicated there was damage to homes and public facilities, though officials had not yet released estimates of the number of damaged buildings or any casualties.Yohanna Embu, a resident of Sikka, a regency within East Nusa Tenggara province, said a number of buildings were damaged by the strong shaking and panicked people ran to higher ground."Many buildings here were damaged ... I saw that the waiting room at the port terminal in Maumere had collapsed," she said.Students at St. Peter Major Seminary in Sikka who were attending morning Mass fled in panic when the roof of an assembly hall collapsed, said the Rev. Guidelbertus Tanga, rector of the seminary, which is known locally as Ritapiret Seminary on the predominantly Catholic island of Flores."Our students and nuns ran out in panic beneath a collapsing roof," Tanga said, "At least one priest suffered a broken leg after jumping from the second floor of a building during the quake."Indonesia, a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity because of its location on the "Ring of Fire," an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.In December of 1992, a magnitude 7 earthquake caused a tsunami that killed about 2,500 people on the southeastern island of Flores, part of a group of islands in the eastern half of Indonesia.CBC's Journalistic Standards and Practices·About CBC News

Magnitude 7.7 Quake Strikes Off Indonesia's Coast, Toppling Buildings and Killing at Least 20-Asharq Al Awsat-08:07-15 August 2026 AD ـ 02 Rabi’ Al-Awwal 1448 AH

A powerful magnitude 7.7 earthquake struck off the coast of Indonesia early Saturday, killing at least 20 people, collapsing buildings and homes as well as causing panic in a region prone to deadly quakes. Authorities said six people were injured, and two others were missing after a landslide triggered by the quake.Authorities issued a tsunami warning and urged coastal residents to move to higher ground, but later lifted the warning when Indonesia’s Meteorology, Climatology and Geophysics Agency said monitoring showed no significant sea-level changes that would pose a threat to coastal communities.The US Geological Survey said the quake hit Indonesia's Flores region with a depth of 10 kilometers at 5:58 a.m. local time. Its epicenter was 68 km (42 miles) north-northwest of the city of Ende in East Nusa Tenggara province. The initial quake was followed by several aftershocks.The head of the Maumere Search and Rescue Agency, Fathur Rahman, said rescuers have recovered at least 20 bodies in the three devastated regencies of Sikka, West Manggarai, and East Manggarai, including eight bodies that were pulled from a landslide in the village of Reok in Manggarai. Six people were rushed to nearby hospitals with severe injuries.He said rescuers were still searching for two villagers believed to be buried under tons of mud that tumbled down from the surrounding hills in a landslide triggered by the quake, The Associated Press reported.East Nusa Tenggara Police Chief Rudi Darmoko said the earthquake caused severe damage and collapsed buildings. He said power outages in cities and villages have hampered the flow of information and complicated search and rescue efforts.“We are continuing to collect reports of damage and casualties, but there are communication disruptions,” Darmoko said. He said that landslides in Ende regency triggered by the earthquake also cut off the Trans-Flores highway, a roughly 700-kilometer (435-mile) paved mountain road spanning Flores Island, from Labuan Bajo to Larantuka.Footage on local television showed patients at several hospitals being evacuated from buildings as a precaution following the quake. Hospital staff moved equipment outdoors, including beds, IV stands and oxygen cylinders, and set up temporary treatment areas to adapt to emergency conditions.The National Disaster Management Agency deployed a helicopter to assist with logistics and support emergency response operations, including possible evacuations if needed, the agency said in a statement.The air support is considered crucial given East Nusa Tenggara’s geography, which consists of numerous islands and presents significant transportation and access challenges.It said about 2,000 villagers in Nagekeo regency fled their homes to temporary shelters.The quake was felt across much of Flores island with initial reports indicating heavy damage.Yohanna Embu, a resident of Sikka regency, said a number of buildings were damaged by the strong shaking and panicked people ran to higher ground.“Many buildings here were damaged ... I saw that the waiting room at the port terminal in Maumere had collapsed,” she said.The quake also reportedly caused panic in Labuan Bajo, a gateway town to eastern Indonesia’s Komodo National Park, one of the country’s best-known attractions.Damage was also reported in Bima, a city in neighboring West Nusa Tenggara province, and in some parts of southern Sulawesi island.Indonesian authorities initially issued a tsunami warning for parts of East Nusa Tenggara, West Nusa Tenggara, South Sulawesi and Southeast Sulawesi provinces, and urged residents to stay away from beaches and riverbanks. The agency located the shallow undersea quake near Flores island.Indonesia prone to earthquakes Indonesia, a vast archipelago of more than 17,000 islands, is prone to earthquakes and volcanic activity because of its location on the “Ring of Fire,” an arc of volcanoes and fault lines in the Pacific Basin.

More than 160 people killed in Colombia’s strongest earthquake in years-The 7.4-magnitude earthquake, which hit about 250 miles west of Bogotá, caused serious damage to infrastructure and left people trapped in collapsed buildings.Aug. 10, 2026, 9:32 AM EDT / Updated Aug. 11, 2026, 10:47 AM EDT-By Nicole Acevedo, Maya Rosenberg, George Solis and Dennis Romero

At least 169 people were killed Monday in a 7.4-magnitude earthquake that shook western Colombia, collapsing hospitals, schools and other buildings and leaving people trapped under the rubble.The worst-hit cities include Pereira, Cali, Quibdó, Manizales and Armenia, all of which remain under “red alert,” the nation’s highest-level disaster threat level, according to Colombia’s nonprofit Association of Capital Cities, which provided the death toll.Seven airports have suspended operations, and hospitals, roads, transportation, aqueducts, energy and telecommunications have been disrupted in the areas hardest hit, it said.Colombia’s newly inaugurated president, Abelardo De La Espriella, said in a national briefing that 700 people were injured in the temblor and an estimated 5,000 homes were damaged or destroyed.Earlier in the day, he declared a national disaster to allow for the mobilization and coordination of emergency efforts.Speaking from the Unified Command Center he had ordered into existence earlier in the day, De La Espriella said 188 people were missing, three hospitals had collapsed, and 18 other hospitals had been affected. Thirty-nine schools were also affected, he said.Elected officials have reported people trapped inside collapsed buildings and serious structural damage throughout the quake-hit region.The quake’s epicenter was reported in the municipality of San José del Palmar in the department ​of Chocó. Colombia’s Geological Service said it was the country’s strongest earthquake this century, Reuters reported.In Valle del Cauca, about 254 miles south of Chocó, Gov. Dilian Francisca Toro said “the situation is serious.”She reported the deaths of 27 people across Valle del Cauca, including three children. Speaking from the University Hospital of the Valley, Toro said the facility suffered “structural collapses” and that rescue and evacuation operations were completed Monday.Video from the location verified by NBC News shows medical staff in white tending to infants in hospital bassinets outdoors. At least one medical professional was shown holding a baby in her arms.In Chocó, Gov. Nubia Carolina Córdoba-Curi said on social media that injuries and serious damage to buildings had been reported in the capital city of Quibdó, about 188 miles northwest of the reported epicenter.“We are already conducting a damage assessment to issue the first official report,” Córdoba-Curi wrote on X in Spanish.As of Monday night, Córdoba-Curi reported 13 deaths in Chocó. Earlier, she said 84 people had been injured.In Pereira, a city in Colombia’s coffee-growing region, Mayor Mauricio Salazar said 18 people had died. In nearby Manizales, Mayor Jorge Eduardo Rojas ​said two people were killed.Alejandro Eder, the mayor of Cali, said that at least 20 buildings had collapsed in the city and some had “people trapped inside.” Emergency response teams have set up tents in the area to coordinate rescue efforts, Eder added.Sunday was the beginning of a weeklong festival celebrating the region’s Afro-Pacific culture, which brings hundreds of thousands of tourists to Cali, Colombia’s third-largest city.Cali resident Luis Angel Sarria told NBC News he strongly felt the earthquake there.“There are many damaged buildings, collapsed buildings, people trapped and fatalities; the quake felt here was very severe,” Sarria, a taxi driver, said in Spanish. “What has happened here in my country has been very hard and very sad.”While Sarria and his immediate family are safe, he said, “We are saddened by the loss of life.”In Cali, rescue teams and volunteers began clearing rubble as they searched for survivors trapped beneath some of the collapsed buildings.In Jamundí, about 15 miles south of Cali, Maria Alejandra Soto Zea was inside her apartment with her 2-year-old son when she felt the earthquake. Its intensity grew quickly, she said, leaving her unable to quickly evacuate her home.As she sought the exit, Soto Zea said, the shaking was so intense that she made it only to the kitchen. There, she held on to the kitchen counter with all her strength while also carrying her toddler, she told NBC News in Spanish.“Right now, I have back pain from the stress of the moment, from shouting, from gripping the counter so tightly and from the anguish of thinking I wouldn’t be able to get out of here with my son,” Soto Zea said.When the trembling subsided, the 27-year-old mother took the stairs seven stories down with her young child in her arms and evacuated the building. Worried about aftershocks, she began packing a few bags on Monday afternoon to stay with relatives elsewhere.The Trump administration is committing $15.5 million to Colombia for emergency shelter, food, protection and other needs, the State Department said Monday on X.It said the U.S. is ready to support De La Espriella and his government as they assess the country’s needs. “We are united in prayer with the Colombian people,” the State Department said.The International Rescue Committee, a global nonprofit group focused on providing aid during humanitarian crises, said in a statement that its staff near Chocó was reporting damage to hospitals and clinics.“Local communities were already facing armed conflict and high levels of poverty long before the ground began to shake. Chocó, at the epicenter of the quake, is the poorest region in the country,” said Nicole Kast, the organization’s director for Colombia, Venezuela and Ecuador. “We are deeply concerned that today’s natural disaster will make the needs on the ground even steeper as people lose access to health care and other essential services.”According to Colombia’s civil aviation authority, airports in Cali, Pereira, Manizales, Quibdó, Armenia, Cartago and Buenaventura were affected in some way by the temblor, including by electricity outages. Flights at these airports have been suspended “pending an assessment of structural damage to the facilities,” it said.Later, it said Alfonso Bonilla Aragón International Airport between Palmira and Cali was operational following restoration of electricity.José Gallegos was inside the airport in Pereira when the earthquake hit. In videos posted to his Instagram account, Gallegos can be seen hiding underneath a table as plumes of dust burst in the air and parts of the ceiling crashed into the ground.“Everything fell apart in a second,” Gallegos, an influencer, told Noticias Telemundo Ahora in Spanish. He was recording a live video when disaster struck.Gallegos described seeing walls collapsing, trapping people underneath. “At that moment, I thought I was going to die,” he said.Halley Sherwood, who lives in the city of Armenia along with her husband, said in a phone interview that some buildings collapsed and many more appear to have intense damage.Water and Wi-Fi were cut off before returning within a few hours, she said.“As of right now everyone is outside their homes waiting,” Sherwood said. “We were told there could be aftershocks.”The damage in Armenia, part of the country’s coffee-growing region, has brought back painful memories for residents of a 6.1-magnitude earthquake that rocked the area in 1999, causing nearly 1,200 deaths and leaving an estimated 250,000 homeless, according to the U.S. Geological Survey.“My husband and his family are all shook up, because last time it was really bad,” Sherwood said.Less than an hour after the initial earthquake, an aftershock measured at magnitude 5.0 struck about 10 miles west of San José del Palmar, according to the USGS. It was not immediately clear whether it caused damage or hampered rescue efforts.The earthquake follows two back-to-back 7.2- and 7.5-magnitude earthquakes in Venezuela in late June that killed more than 6,000 people.Soto Zea said that surviving Monday’s earthquake in Colombia after witnessing the devastation left behind in nearby Venezuela has left her feeling very nervous.“It’s very overwhelming,” she said. “This shakes up your life because it leaves you thinking about how fragile life is.”

Spain removes remains of 11th century kings from monastery as Europe’s wildfires spread-Weeks without rain revealed the remains of an ancient bridge in Rome’s Tiber River, as multiple European countries battle to contain spreading fires in hot and dry conditions.Aug. 14, 2026, 9:08 AM EDT / Source: Reuters-By Reuters and The Associated Press

Spanish authorities on Thursday removed the remains of three kings who ruled the Aragón region in the 11th ​century from a monastery threatened by a wildfire.Their remains ‌were taken to the provincial museum of Huesca, located 50 miles south of the monastery, for their protection until conditions improve, said the ​northeastern region’s vice-president Mar Vaquero.After the wildfire that had ​been raging since Monday began moving toward the 10th ⁠century San Juan de la Peña monastery late on Thursday, ​concern that it could be engulfed by flames prompted authorities to ​launch a rescue operation, Vaquero told reporters.An emergency military unit team managed to enter the monastery, located in a mountain range, and take ceremonial ​clothing belonging to an 18th-century count buried there, before ​the proximity of the flames forced them to flee.The team returned a second ‌time, ⁠accompanied by police officers and heritage officials, and removed the remains of the first three kings of Aragón — who ruled between 1035 and 1104 — from a pantheon within the monastery, as ​well as some ​historical paintings.The wildfire had intensified earlier on Thursday, fuelled by higher temperatures ​and strong winds. It has burned more than ​3.5 square miles and forced the evacuation of 16 towns, although the monastery remained unharmed on Friday morning.Evacuations as wildfires spread-As large parts of Europe battle fires after a long stretch of hot and dry conditions, a raging wildfire in the province of Huelva, southern Spain, triggered an operation to evacuate around ​700 people on Thursday.More than 2,000 people evacuated ​the village of Gey in western Germany on Friday after a ‌wildfire near the Belgian border, while France evacuated 525 people from the village of Luglon in its southwestern Landes region.Meanwhile, Croatia and Greece both evacuated tourists from resorts as fires spread. Flames enveloped settlements and trees around Omis, a scenic town on Croatia’s prized Dalmatian coast surrounded by trees and ⁠rocky hills, officials said, injuring 40 and forcing 1,200 to ​evacuate.More than 300 people were evacuated by boat from Siviri in northern Greece, south of the country’s second city, Thessaloniki.People wearing face masks, some clutching children or pets, boarded dinghies and boats in the seaside town as a wildfire ate through the nearby forest and columns of smoke turned the cloudless sky a dark grey.Nero’s Bridge emerges-The remains of an ancient bridge have emerged in Rome’s Tiber River, near St. Peter’s Basilica, after weeks with virtually no rain caused water levels to plunge.The bridge — known as Nero’s Bridge, named for the former Roman emperor — once connected Rome’s city center with the Tiber’s right bank.“Nero is the most famous person linked to this area, because precisely in Nero’s circus, where the Vatican is now located, the Apostle Peter was martyred,” said Antonella Bonini, an archaeologist at Rome’s cultural heritage superintendency.“However, scholars consider the bridge to be older (than Nero’s era) — built by Caligula, Nero’s uncle,” she said, adding that it existed as early as 39 AD.The Tiber’s flow has fallen below 80 cubic meters (2,825 cubic feet) per second, about half the historic average for the month of July, according to Giovanni Giganti, coordinator of the Rome civil protection service’s center for water management.“We are facing a major water crisis. And it is a crisis that is also due to the fact that this winter we did have quite abundant rainfall, but then the dry periods ... were quite long,” Giganti said.

Smoke description-NOAA provides narrative description of smoke and dust, reported here as it appears on its website.SMOKE:Canada - Wildfires in the Northwest Territories continued to burn this evening, producing a regional layer of moderate-to-heavy density smoke. The smoke drifted east across much of Canada before turning northeast through Quebec and eventually moving off the coast of Newfoundland and Labrador. Wildfires in southern British Columbia produced moderate-to-heavy density smoke plumes that joined with the fires in the Pacific Northwest of CONUS. A layer of light-density smoke extended across much of Canada, drifting east from the Northwest Territories before moving south into eastern CONUS and eastward over the Atlantic Ocean. Additional light-density smoke originating from the Pacific Northwest and British Columbia also contributed to the overall light smoke coverage.CONUS/Atlantic Ocean - Wildfires across the Pacific Northwest continued to produce moderate density smoke across the region this evening. The smoke drifted southward into northern California and north into British Columbia. A fire in Throckmorton County, Texas began burning this evening, producing moderate-to-heavy smoke that drifted north into southern Oklahoma. Light smoke over the fires in the southeast merged with the smoke from Canada that moved eastward into the Atlantic Ocean.Mexico/Gulf of America/Pacific Ocean - Light-density smoke was observed over along the Mexican Gulf Coast, Central Mexico, and the Gulf of America, some of which drifted southwestward across southern Mexico into the Pacific Ocean. A region layer of moderate-density smoke was also observed in the Isthmus of Tehuantepec before extending southwestward into the Pacific Ocean.Source: NOAA

European countries battle multiple wildfires as record heat grips the continent-By  ANGELA CHARLTON and SYLVIA HUI-Updated 9:47 AM EDT, August 14, 2026

PARIS (AP) — Firefighters across Europe struggled against multiple fires Friday as a new wave of record-breaking heat baked a swath of the continent, their task further complicated by exceptionally parched landscapes.The historic temperatures are linked to human-caused climate change, and are hitting countries more used to long cold seasons and ill-equipped for this sort of heat, with limited air conditioning.With France experiencing its driest year ever, a new fire raced through woodlands overnight in the Landes region on the southwest coast. The blaze forced more than 500 people to evacuate their homes in the town of Luglon as hundreds of firefighters deployed to the area, the regional administration said Friday.It’s one of several fires scorching forests around France this week, including in normally cooler and wetter regions in the north and Brittany. A historic fire devoured forests near Bordeaux last month and pushed a quarter of a million people from their homes.France also has shut down six nuclear reactors in recent days because of extreme heat and drought — and because a mass of jellyfish washed up outside one power plant on the English Channel coast, utility company EDF said. Large numbers of jellyfish are appearing on many French beaches in connection with unusually warm sea temperatures.In a statement, the company said the shutdowns had minimal impact on France’s electricity production. It said extreme weather poses no safety risks to the reactors themselves.UK wildfires come as London records its hottest day of the year-In the central English town of Stourbridge, where a huge blaze started Thursday, TV footage showed the fires consuming houses, with many left without roofs as flames burned inside the charred walls. About 20 to 30 homes were completely destroyed, Stourbridge lawmaker Cat Eccles told the BBC.A woman who was evacuated from her Stourbridge home said police knocked on her door and urged her to leave immediately.“They thought the fire was changing directions, and they didn’t know which direction it was going in,” Jane Baxter told BBC Radio. “So, it was literally ‘grab what you need and get out.’”Simon Tuhill, chief fire officer of West Midlands Fire Service, said an investigation will be launched but the fire was believed to have started in the grassland before spreading to homes nearby.Nineteen people and six firefighters were hospitalized for smoke inhalation and other injuries from multiple wildfires in the West Midlands region. In nearby Stoke-on-Trent, a 23-year-old man and a 24-year-old woman were arrested Friday on suspicion of arson over a large grass fire that spread quickly.The Met Office, the official weather agency, said 38.1C (100.6 F) was recorded in west London on Thursday, marking the hottest day of the year. While temperatures cooled slightly on Friday, many parts of the country have seen little to no rain for weeks. This July has been the driest in England and Wales since records began in 1836.Spanish authorities on Thursday night transferred the remains of three 11th Century kings from a monastery in the northeastern Aragón region near an active wildfire.The remains were taken to a museum about 80 kilometers (50 miles) south of the 10th-century San Juan de la Peña monastery, which remained unharmed Friday, according to regional authorities.Paintings, liturgical objects and the clothes of a notable 18th-century Spanish count were among the other items removed from the monastery.The wildfire was not yet contained midday Friday with some 800 residents evacuated. Temperatures were expected to cool slightly Saturday.A separate, much larger wildfire in southern Spain has burned more than 300 square kilometers (120 square miles) in the province of Huelva, also forcing evacuations.Firefighters battle forest fire in Germany-All 1,800 residents of the village of Gey in western Germany were evacuated after a wildfire with shifting winds in the nearby Hürtgen forest threatened to reach their homes. Nearly 300 hectares (1.16 square miles) of forest were ablaze on Friday morning, local authorities said.Unexploded ordnance from World War II in the forest hampered firefighting efforts, German news agency dpa reported.The fire advanced to within 300 meters (1,000 feet) of Gey, which sits on the edge of the forest near the Belgian border. The cause of the blaze remains unknown.Germany has set a new record for heat-related deaths so far this year, surpassing the 2018 level for the entire year, the Robert Koch Institute said Thursday. An estimated 12,500 people died from heat-related causes between Jan. 1 and Aug. 2.Fire in Croatia leaves 1 dead, 14 hospitalized-In Croatia, one person was killed and 14 people were hospitalized, of whom seven remained in life-threatening condition early Friday, from a fire that raged overnight by the coastal town of Omis and forced more than 1,000 people to evacuate their homes. The person’s body was found as police combed through the burned-out area.The fire erupted late Thursday in an Omis suburb and quickly spread because of strong wind. The regional maritime authorities said 194 people, including children, were plucked from the sea and from various boats as they tried to flee the fire.Firefighters put out the blaze by Friday morning as other crews in planes headed further south toward the Peljesac peninsula, where another wildfire broke out overnight.Firefighters keep Albania’s largest wildfire from spreading to homesAlbania has been battling dozens of wildfires in recent weeks, with 11 active fires reported across the country Friday.The largest fire is in the Gure-Lure area, where the perimeter near residential homes has been brought under control.Three people have been prosecuted over that fire, which engulfed Lura National Park. They are suspected of failing to take measures to protect the territory from fire, authorities said.Meanwhile, in northern Greece, more than 300 vacationers and residents were evacuated by sea Thursday after a wildfire swept through a pine forest and threatened seaside homes, authorities said.Belgium expected to set another heat record-Belgium was expecting to hit its highest temperature of the summer on Friday, climbing to 37 C (98.6 F) in the capital, Brussels.The mercury was also set to hit 37 C (98.6 F) in the neighboring Netherlands. The country is suffering from severe drought, with water shortages in some areas, but Dutch authorities have held off declaring a water crisis as rain is expected in the coming days.___Hui reported from London.

Canadian wildfire that forced 20,000 to flee may signal ‘new normal’Updated 2:46 AM EDT, August 13, 2026

PENTICTON, British Columbia (AP) — A wildfire that forced more than 20,000 people from their homes in western Canada moved so quickly that crews had to abandon firefighting to help residents escape, a pace British Columbia’s premier said Wednesday may represent a “new normal.”The Bald Range wildfire erupted Friday near Summerland, a community of about 12,000 in British Columbia’s Okanagan region. By Wednesday, it had grown to about 184 square kilometers (71 square miles) after destroying homes and killing an 80-year-old woman.“There’s an important set of lessons for us to take about how quickly this moved and that this may be our new normal for fire speed,” Premier David Eby said. He said the blaze outpaced wildfire modeling and left some residents with little time to evacuate.Officials have begun damage assessments, but the area remained unsafe Wednesday and there was no timeline for residents to return.Crews were clearing vegetation to help slow the fire’s spread as officials warned that thunderstorms could bring erratic winds and increase fire activity. Highway 97, a major route through the area, remained closed.Eby visited an evacuation reception center in Penticton, where he said he met people devastated by the loss of their homes.“A lot of emotions in there, obviously,” he told reporters, calling the woman’s death a “tragic loss.”Summerland pharmacist Jonathan Kiesman said he was worried about displaced patients getting their medications and said seeing the fire approach the community “almost brought tears to my eyes.”Officials said they were withholding broader details on property losses until residents could be notified directly.“The last thing that I would want is somebody to have the shock of finding out on social media or on television about their home being lost,” British Columbia Emergency Management Minister Kelly Greene said.Eby said the province would review the response, including whether changes are needed to wildfire planning, building standards and vegetation management near communities.Given the drought and summer heat, he warned, “this is very unlikely to be the last significant fire we see this summer.”Summerland Mayor Doug Holmes warned that recovery would be long and difficult.Canada has endured a series of severe wildfire seasons in recent years, with smoke repeatedly drifting into the United States. In record-setting 2023, fires burned more than 14.6 million hectares (36 million acres), an area roughly the size of Illinois.Canada has warmed faster than the global average in recent decades, while the amount of land burned by wildfires has increased substantially. Much of the country’s forest is remote and dominated by spruce and pine, conditions that can make fires difficult to contain once they become established.

A Canadian payment giant is being sold to U.S. private equity. Is your digital privacy at risk? Moneris handles roughly 1 in 3 payment transactions across Canada-Brock Wilson · CBC News · Posted: Aug 14, 2026 4:00 AM EDT | Last Updated: August 14

A payment processing company responsible for approximately one in three payment transactions across Canada will soon be owned by an American private equity firm.The Royal Bank of Canada and Bank of Montreal announced earlier this week they would be selling jointly owned Moneris, one of Canada's largest commerce solutions providers, to Francisco Partners for $2 billion.So far, it's been positive for both RBC and BMO, with the companies' shares jumping after the deal's announcement. RBC expects to gain about $475 million from the sale after tax, and BMO $600 million.However, some industry analysts are raising concerns the move could have negative repercussions for Canada's digital sovereignty amid the country's ongoing trade war with the U.S.Wide-reaching implications-Broadly speaking, digital sovereignty refers to the power of a country, or individual, to retain control over its own digital assets.In September, AI Minister Evan Solomon said that Canada needs to create a sovereign digital economy that is "free from coercion."Artificial Intelligence Minister Evan Solomon says the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act will help keep Canadians safe in the digital age. 'I think it's a common-sense approach to what Canadians and what average folks want from their digital media,' Solomon said on Monday about the new bill. 'They want some control over their personal information.'That same month, dozens of experts and academics penned an open letter urging Prime Minister Mark Carney to swiftly "defend Canada's digital sovereignty" and protect the country from the whims of the Trump administration. It's a sentiment Sharon Polsky, president of the Privacy and Access Council of Canada, shares."Canadians should be concerned because this is their information," she said."We're now going to have what has been a Canadian data-processing company that has access to everybody's purchasing habits ... available to other governments."Thousands of businesses in Canada use Moneris. The processor services more than 325,000 points of commerce and processes more than five billion transactions every year, according to a press release from the company.Polsky said the deal means Canadians' data could be available, not only to foreign governments, but foreign law enforcement agencies.She gave an example of U.S. border agents potentially checking an individual's transaction history before allowing them to enter the country."Will you be stopped at the border because your purchase records indicate that you bought something with THC?" she said, referring to a chemical compound found in cannabis, which remains illegal in the U.S. under federal jurisdiction."It's possible these days, much more possible than ever before."Transaction data as leverage? That the deal is happening as the countries grapple with a trade war only heightens Polsky's concerns."It's easy to foresee that the rich data that comes from millions of Canadians' purchases could easily be leveraged to inform trade negotiations," said Polsky, who has advised corporations and governments for more than 30 years on privacy and access matters.Colin Deacon, an Independent Canadian senator, is also concerned about how the U.S. government could use Canadians' data."[Data] under force and under request from the U.S. government could be then shared on an individual basis," said Deacon during an interview with CBC's Power and Politics.Nova Scotia Sen. Colin Deacon is warning against further financial integration with the United States after one of Canada's biggest payment processing platforms was bought by an American bidder. Deacon joins Power & Politics to discuss why he is so concerned about this acquisition."There's a number of ways in which [U.S. President Donald Trump] has absolute control over services that Canadians rely on every day."Both BMO and RBC pointed to press releases announcing the deal, refusing to provide further comment when contacted by CBC News."As ownership transitions to FP, Moneris's commitment to serving Canadian businesses will remain unchanged," read a separate press release from Moneris.Privacy legislation in the works-Canada's legislation meant to protect digital privacy isn't where it needs to be, according to Polsky, who said this comes at Canadians' "collective peril.""Canada isn't ready," she said.Polsky argues there's a clear outcome if a company based in Canada is compelled by the U.S. to supply data as a result of this deal."If the choice is either to comply with the American law or go to jail, or comply with Canadian legislation that really is nowhere near as stringent … it's a no-brainer. They will comply with the American legislation."The Canadian government has taken steps to address digital sovereignty. In June, the government introduced Bill C-36, the Protecting Privacy and Consumer Data Act.It proposes a major overhaul of Canada's private sector privacy framework, updating language to establish privacy as a "fundamental right" and replace parts of the Personal Information Protection and Electronic Documents Act (PIPEDA), which sets out rules for how businesses, including tech, airlines and banks, collect and use customers' data.The bill also requires companies to conduct a "privacy impact assessment" before transferring personal data outside of Canada.At the time, government officials said the legislation would cover any company that has a "substantial connection" to Canada.But Polsky said C-36, and the Liberals' other attempts to update Canada's digital privacy laws, only "dance around the issues.""They don't really speak to data being retained in Canada as a matter of national security or as a matter of data sovereignty," she said.Bill C-36 represents the Liberal government's third attempt to update privacy regulations, following failed attempts in 2020 and 2023. It underwent its first reading in June, but has a number of steps to go before becoming law.Meanwhile, the sale of Moneris still requires regulatory approvals, including clearance under the Competition Act, and is expected to close by the end of the banks' fiscal first quarter in 2027.Where does that leave Canada? "Behind the eight ball," said Polsky."[Canada is] trying to look tough, but we have a ways to go."Clarifications-An earlier version of this story said Moneris processes more than $5 billion in transactions every year. In fact, Moneris processes more than 5 billion transactions every year. Aug 14, 2026 10:41 AM EDT

They use Near Field Communication (NFC) or Radio-Frequency Identification (RFID), require no battery, and function as digital keys, transit passes, or payment wallets.How the Technology WorksNo Battery Needed: The chips stay dormant and only wake up when a scanning device or reader is placed close to them.Simple Injection: A practitioner uses a preloaded syringe to place the biocompatible glass capsule just beneath the top layer of skin.Immediate Use: The passive transponder works instantly once implanted to transmit a unique identification number or encrypted data string.Common UsesAccess Control: Unlocking office doors, home smart locks, and gym memberships.Contactless Payments: Swiping a hand over a terminal to buy items through platforms like Walletmor.Identification and Data: Storing digital business cards, emergency medical details, or transit tickets.Risks and ConcernsPrivacy Issues: Critics worry about tracking data, corporate overreach, or third parties accessing sensitive personal profiles.Security Limits: While current chips only hold short ID strings rather than massive tracking data, legacy standards or cloned signals pose theoretical vulnerabilities.Health and Removal: Rejection or minor tissue irritation can happen, though removal usually requires a simple medical incision if a user wants it extracted.If you're interested, I can explore:The privacy and legal debates around human microchippingHow payment security works without a batteryThe difference between RFID and NFC implants.

Everything You Need To Know Before Getting An RFID Implant-Dr. Bertalan Mesko, PhD-8 min | 3 March 2025

Theoretically, RFID implants offer practical benefits as contactless payments, unlocking doors, and accessing medical data, with just a wave of your hand.However, the implants still face challenges such as safety concerns, potential infections, and limited data capacity.Ethical considerations surrounding privacy, surveillance, and potential discrimination must also be addressed – nevertheless, the idea offers a glimpse into a future where technology seamlessly integrates with our bodies.What if you could open your front door or unlock your car just by raising your hand? Never having to trouble yourself with your medical documents? Or remembering where you’ve put your wallet. What about sending your LinkedIn profile or a dancing monkey GIF to a phone just by holding it? And what about turning on a coffee machine by pointing to it? This is not the future anymore. Wannabe cyborgs with little RFID chips under their skin are living with us: some fifty-thousand people have implanted the tiny devices already under their skin to be able to have simpler access to buildings or (other people’s) phones. Do you want to join the cyborg community? Here’s what you should know about RFID chips before you implant them into your body.Captain Cyborg and the RFID implant-The radio-frequency identification (RFID) technology has been around for decades. It uses radio waves to exchange data between a tag (embedded with an antenna and integrated circuit) and a reader. RFID tags come in various types – passive, active, and semi-passive – and operate on different frequency bands, each with its own strengths and limitations.RFID has a wide range of applications, from tracking luggage and identifying pets to managing inventory in retail stores and even monitoring medical equipment in hospitals. It’s also becoming increasingly prevalent in the Internet of Things (IoT), enabling everyday objects to communicate with each other. You probably already have a personal RFID chip in your credit card, and they are increasingly used for access control, contactless payments, and even social interactions.The first-ever human to receive an RFID microchip implant was British scientist Kevin Warwick (known by the moniker “Captain Cyborg”) in 1998. This experiment allowed a computer to monitor Warwick as he moved through halls and offices of the Department of Cybernetics at the University of Reading, using a unique identifying signal emitted by the implanted chip. He could operate doors, lights, heaters and other computers without lifting a finger. Approximately two decades later, the technology has been made commercially available, and tens of thousands of people decided to implant an RFID chip. For example, groups of people have been meeting at “implant parties,” often organized by larger companies, to hook up. It’s especially popular in Sweden, where more than 4,000 individuals can take pride in opening doors by only lifting their hands. So, why is the rush? And why should you consider implanting one? TMF Cyborg man RFID impant-Congratulations, you’ve been RFID-chipped! In the future, an RFID chip implanted into your hand, between your thumb and your index finger on the back of your hand, could contain a lot of useful information – that you usually carry around in your wallet or purse. It could transmit your identity information as you walk through a security checkpoint, enable you to use public transport, and make long lines at the supermarket checkout a thing of the past. You wouldn’t have to worry about losing your most important documents or your wallet ever again – and ‘within hand’s reach’ will most certainly have a second layer of meaning. Moreover, imagine that in a medical emergency situation, the first responders only have to scan your hand to get to know every valuable bit of medical data about you.We are obviously not there yet. Although the technology has ripened significantly in recent years, even the most advanced chips still have limitations. Modern RFID chips typically store more data than earlier versions, though the increase in capacity has been gradual. However, according to user reviews, they can serve multiple functions. “I use my microchip to store my medical records and work portfolio, as well as to use it as a crypto wallet and to unlock doors” – says Brandon Dalaly about his implant in this article.In theory, you could connect it to your bank account, your transit card for use in the subway, or to pay at the grocery store. The challenge remains that many systems are not yet designed to integrate seamlessly with such implants. However, upgrades to these systems are expected in the near future to support RFID chip functionality. In any case, if you find using entrance cards to access your office outdated, you might convince your boss to order RFID chips from Dangerous Things, an online store that sells various implantable transponders, and the place where most people buy their implants.Dangerous? Hackable? Limiting? – The hazards of RFID chips-Before you hit the order button on Dangerous Things website to order some implants, there are several things to think through as an RFID implant isn’t a temporary tattoo, which can be removed by taking ten showers. That’s actually one of the most problematic parts of these chips: who is going to implant it, how safe it is for your health, and how do you remove it? Medical Concerns-A recent study sheds light on the increasing prevalence and potential complications of RFID implants in humans. It highlights that while these implants are becoming popular for tasks like contactless payments, opening doors, and storing personal information, there are significant safety concerns. The study points out that most implants are currently performed by non-medical professionals, raising the risk of infections and adverse tissue reactions. It calls for more involvement from medical professionals, particularly hand surgeons, to develop standardized techniques for implanting these devices safely and effectively. The study underscores the need for further research to better understand the long-term implications of RFID implants in human health.Dangerous Things recommends their professional body piercing or body modification partners to complete the installation of this product, but definitely someone with experience performing aseptic procedures. Thus, you should NOT experiment with implanting it yourself, and rather turn to a medical professional who conducts the procedure in a clean area with sterilized instruments to avoid the risk of infection. The company says that the pain level of the implantation of the chip is that of a bee sting or giving blood. The same is promised to be true for removing the RFID transponder. Dangerous Things says that the removal or replacement procedure is easy, you don’t have any interference issues with MRI, or get caught at the airport security gates, metal detectors or airport scanners due to your chip. In addition, the implants are pretty durable – you can easily fight supervillains all day long, the RFID chip will most probably not break.Privacy and surveillance worries-Although RFID chips are not powerful enough to be tracked – just as dogs cannot be tracked when they wander off – or to connect to any satellite, some have fears that such chips give corporations the possibility to have control over them. What if they could track users in the future? Would you want a chip in your hand if it could tell for how long it took you to have a shower or to go to work? Since most chips are offered through big companies, it’s just a matter of time until this happens.Are the chip implants hackable? Some biohackers say that it’s very easy to hack an implant, so you’d rather not hide your life secrets in the implant’s memory, but so far, we haven’t heard of major RFID chip hacks. On the other hand, we know of at least one individual who used the chip embedded into his hand to hack into other people’s phones, so that might be a bigger concern. However, another idea that already surfaced among concerned potential users, namely that your hands might be cut off if someone wants to break into your house or office seems to be rather Black Mirror-ish than something to be worried about.TMF cyborg hand RFID implant-Am I really becoming a cyborg? On the other hand, implanted RFID chips, just as digital tattoos or chest patches already represent the second stage of cyborgization, and that’s because no matter what Dangerous Things say, they cannot be removed as easily as your Flash T-shirt at the end of the day. Remember the bug in Neo’s stomach in the Matrix? He couldn’t have taken it out without help – but after some time, no lasting marks remained.In the second stage of augmentation, technology interacts with the human body in a way that it already has a lasting, but not irreversible impact. Although their removal might be problematic, implants, patches, and tattoos could be cut out and discarded. Some extreme examples, where removal might be more difficult than the user believes, already exist: Jerry Javala let doctors embed a USB port into his finger prosthesis, but at the time being, RFID chips seem to be on the easier end of the spectrum.So, if you decide to get an RFID implant, you’ll still be very far from real-life cyborgs, such as Neil Harbisson, an artist born with achromatopsia or extreme colorblindness meaning he could only see in black-and-white. At first, he received his specialised electronic eye, his “eyeborg” to be able to render perceived colors as sounds on the musical scale. He is capable of experiencing colors beyond the scope of normal human perception: Amy Winehouse is red and pink, while ringtones are green.RFID implant chip-All in all, the technology is very promising, although many might find the abilities that an RFID chip can do at the moment rather as geeky party tricks than useful everyday accessories making life easier.
