At least seven Palestinians were killed and 18 were injured in an Israeli airstrike on Wednesday that targeted an apartment in a residential building in Gaza City, according to the Palestinian Red Crescent Society.

Israel’s Yedioth Ahronoth daily alleged that the targets were Hamas’ northern Gaza brigade commander and the deputy commander of the Gaza City brigade, without disclosing their identities. Hamas has not commented on the Israeli claims. Hamas says Israel seeks return to ‘genocide war’ pace in Gaza after 20 killed in 48 hours The Palestinian group Hamas said Thursday that Israel’s escalation of attacks on civilians in the Gaza Strip and the killing of more than 20 Palestinians over the past 48 hours indicate that Tel Aviv is seeking to return to the “pace of the genocide war” that continued for two years. In a statement, Hamas said Israeli airstrikes targeting a residential apartment in central Gaza City overnight, which killed 10 Palestinians, including two children and two women, and wounded dozens more, constituted a “new crime” and a “renewed and blatant violation” of the ceasefire agreement signed in Sharm el-Sheikh. The Sharm el-Sheikh ceasefire agreement was signed in October 2025 under Egyptian, US, Qatari, and Turkish mediation, and entered into force later that month. The agreement followed two years of war in Gaza that began on October 8, 2023, during which more than 72,000 Palestinians were killed and over 172,000 injured, according to Palestinian figures, alongside widespread destruction affecting around 90% of civilian infrastructure. Hamas said Israel’s intensified attacks on civilians across Gaza and the killing of more than 20 Palestinians in strikes targeting residential neighbourhoods over the past two days showed its intention to resume large-scale military operations. The Palestinian group also accused Israel of disregarding the efforts of mediating countries and violating guarantees and commitments made under the ceasefire agreement.

At least 32 miners dead after bridge fails at cobalt site in southeast DR Congo

A bridge collapsed at a cobalt mine in southeast Democratic Republic of Congo killing at least 32 wildcat miners, a regional government official said Sunday. The bridge came down Saturday onto a flooded zone at the mine in Lualaba province, Roy Kaumba Mayonde, the provincial interior minister, told reporters. He said 32 bodies had been recovered and more were being searched for. The DRC produces more than 70 percent of the world supply of cobalt, which is essential for batteries used in electric cars, many laptop computers and mobile phones. More than 200,000 people are estimated to be working in giant illegal cobalt mines in the giant central African country. Local authorities said the bridge collapsed at the Kalando mine, about 42 kilometres (26 miles) southeast of the Lualaba provincial capital, Kolwezi. "Despite a formal ban on access to the site because of the heavy rain and the risk of a landslide, wildcat miners forced their way into the quarry," said Mayonde. He said ...

Arab countries, Pakistan likely to observe Eid on same day

The International Astronomy Centre confirmed on Wednesday that the crescent moon of Shawwal will be impossible to sight on Saturday, March 29, across all regions of the Arab and Islamic world. This is due to the moon setting before the sun, with the conjunction occurring after sunset. As a result, observing the crescent moon, whether by the naked eye, telescopes, or other means, will be unfeasible on March 29. For countries requiring an actual sighting to mark the start of Shawwal, Ramadan will likely extend to 30 days, with Eid Al Fitr falling on Monday, March 31. However, in some regions where the conjunction occurs before sunset, allowing the moon to set after sunset, some countries may choose to declare Eid on Sunday, March 30, following traditional moon-sighting practices. Notably, a partial solar eclipse will be visible at noon on Saturday in parts of the western Arab world, including Mauritania, Morocco, Algeria, and Tunisia. This event serves as definitive proof that the cresce...

Vancouver tribunal says 'every dog is entitled to one bite' in injury case

A woman who sought nearly $5,000 in damages after being bitten by a dog on Christmas Eve has had her claim dismissed, after a British Columbia tribunal ruled the incident amounted to an accident — and that “every dog is entitled to one bite.” Ying Shen was bitten on the hand by a mini Australian Shepherd named Juliet as she stepped out of an elevator in her apartment building in Vancouver on 24 December 2022. The dog, which was leashed and accompanied by neighbour Jeffrey Dale Polo, bit Shen as the two passed each other in the corridor. According to the B.C. Civil Resolution Tribunal’s decision, Polo apologised, saying Juliet was “usually well behaved.” Shen sought medical attention that night at St. Paul’s Hospital, where she was treated for a superficial abrasion and given a tetanus shot. She later filed a report with the City of Vancouver. A bylaw officer determined that Juliet was not considered dangerous under city regulations, though the dog was found to be unlicensed. In his 5 M...
