Britain, Canada, France and the U.S. were among the countries urging their citizens to leave Lebanon immediately. The move followed the killings earlier in the week of a senior Hezbollah commander in Beirut and Hamas’s political leader in Tehran. Tens of thousands of Israelis are unable to come home, according to an Israeli official, adding to the sense that the country was no longer in control of its own fate and had no clear plan for quieting its many conflicts.

Most of the victims were women and children, a spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense said. The attack was the third on a school in the last four days. Israel said it had targeted Hamas “command and control centers.” A look ahead: Israel’s war against Hamas is the deadliest that Palestinians in the Gaza Strip have ever faced. But Hamas has remained operational, recruited new fighters in Gaza and beyond and re-emerged in areas that Israel had driven the group out of months before. Survival could provide a symbolic victory that may allow Hamas [to emerge politically stronger](~/AAAAAQA~/RgRoknDwP4QGAWh0dHBzOi8vd3d3Lm55dGltZXMuY29tLzIwMjQvMDgvMDQvd29ybGQvbWlkZGxlZWFzdC9oYW1hcy1pc3JhZWwtZ2F6YS1mdXR1cmUuaHRtbD9jYW1wYWlnbl9pZD03JmVtYz1lZGl0X21iYWVfMjAyNDA4MDQmaW5zdGFuY2VfaWQ9MTMwNzM2Jm5sPW1vcm5pbmctYnJpZWZpbmclM0EtYXNpYS1wYWNpZmljLWVkaXRpb24mcmVnaV9pZD03NzY3NDk1MiZzZWdtZW50X2lkPTE3NDE0NyZ0ZT0xJnVzZXJfaWQ9YWE0OTFlZjdmMWQ5NjRlNDk3OWZiNzg0ZTc0ZTAxZDdXA255dEIKZqvw669mvyNwGlIbdHJpc3RyYW1iYWxkd2luOTBAZ21haWwuY29tWAQAAAAD).

In separate attacks, the junta recently bombed a wedding and a monastery, killing some 60 people. The escalating attacks demonstrate that Myanmar is evading sanctions aimed at blocking the flow of jet fuel needed to keep the regime’s bombers, fighter jets and helicopter gunships in the air. Although the strikes have taken their toll, rebel forces have continued to make gains. In recent weeks, they seized a prison in Shan State, freeing hundreds of political prisoners, and on the opposite side of the country, another rebel army captured a civilian airport in Rakhine State. Details: Myanmar’s aviation companies have disguised their operations by transferring their assets, changing their names and selling and reselling fuel shipments while they are en route, activists and U.N. investigators say. 🇺🇸 U.S. ELECTION 2024 The presidential election is less than 100 days away.
