The Israeli military said on Friday it had stepped up its operations in the Gaza Strip, launching a wave of airstrikes and deploying additional ground forces in an effort to establish operational control in parts of the enclave. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said the intensified assault marked the start of a new operation codenamed "Gideon's Chariots," which aims to expand the scope of fighting and advance key war objectives, including the release of hostages and the dismantling of Hamas. "IDF troops will continue to operate in order to protect Israeli civilians and achieve the objectives of the war," the military said in a statement. Earlier this week, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said Israeli forces would enter Gaza "with full force" in the coming days as part of effor...

U.S. President Donald Trump on Friday lashed out at the U.S. Supreme Court after it blocked his administration's effort to swiftly deport Venezuelan immigrants using a wartime law. "The Supreme Court of the United States is not allowing me to do what I was elected to do," he wrote in a Truth Social post. "This is a bad and dangerous day for America!" In a 7-2 decision, the Supreme Court rejected the Trump administration's request to remove a temporary block on deportations of Venezuelans under the 1798 Alien Enemies Act (AEA), saying that those affected were not being given enough time to legally challenge their removal. "The detainees' interests at stake are accordingly particularly weighty. Under these circumstances, notice roughly 24 hours before removal, devoid of information a...

Bolivia's ruling party on Friday named interior minister Eduardo del Castillo as its presidential candidate in the country's August election, days after the current president said he would not seek re-election. President Luis Arce of the ruling Movement Towards Socialism (MAS) announced on Tuesday that he would not seek another term, as a severe economic crisis in the Latin American nation has sparked protests and sent his poll numbers plummeting. Del Castillo, a 36-year-old lawyer who has led the interior ministry since Arce came to power in 2020, attended a MAS rally on Friday in the main square of the capital La Paz where party leader Grover Garcia announced Del Castillo's candidacy. "After a process of consultation with our social organizations, we present comrade Eduardo del ...

The Israeli military said Saturday it had launched "extensive strikes" in the Gaza Strip over the past day as part of the "initial stages" of a fresh offensive on the besieged Palestinian territory. The strikes were part of "the expansion of the battle in the Gaza Strip, with the goal of achieving all the war's objectives, including the release of the abducted and the defeat of Hamas", Israel's army said in a statement in Arabic on Telegram. Gaza's civil defence agency earlier said Israeli strikes on Gaza had killed 100 people on Friday. The offensive, known as "Operation Gideon's Chariots", comes as Israel faces pressure to lift a sweeping aid blockade in return for a US-Israeli hostage released by Hamas. Israel resumed its military offensive in Gaza on March 18 after a two-month truc...

South Korea's ex-president Yoon Suk Yeol left his conservative party on Saturday as it gears up for snap elections triggered by his impeachment over a bid to impose martial law. The People Power Party (PPP) had been under pressure to expel Yoon ahead of the June 3 election, as polls showed it trailing the main opposition party. "I am leaving the People Power Party today," Yoon, who is standing trial on criminal charges of insurrection, wrote on Facebook. He urged voters to support his former labour minister Kim Moon-soo, the PPP's presidential candidate. Kim shot to public prominence as the only cabinet member who refused to bow in apology for failing to prevent martial law. This week, he said for the first time that he was "sincerely sorry to the people who are suffering" because of ...

Another 7 percent increase in Israeli displacement orders for Gaza, along with militarized zones, makes 71 percent of the Strip restricted areas for Palestinians, UN humanitarians said on Thursday. The UN Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs (OCHA) said the displacements with intensified hostilities resulted in further deaths and destruction of civilian infrastructure along with an aid blockade lasting one month and a half. OCHA said that in addition to ongoing bombardment, another three displacement orders were issued by the Israeli military covering 7 percent of the Gaza Strip's total area. Wednesday's order for six neighborhoods in North Gaza governorate overlaps with parts of the zones covered under Tuesday's displacement orders. The office said preliminary estimates ...

A jihadist raid on a military base in northeast Nigeria near the border with Cameroon killed five troops from a multinational coalition Friday, two military sources told AFP. Fighters from the Islamic State West Africa Province (ISWAP) stormed the Multinational Joint Task Force (MNJTF) base housing Nigerian and Cameroonian troops in the town of Wulgo in a pre-dawn attack, engaging troops in a gunfight, the two sources said.
