Around , although only two thirds are believed to still be alive. Here’s the latest: NUR SHAMS REFUGEE CAMP, West Bank — The Palestinian Health Ministry said at least eight people were killed by Israeli military operations in and around the city of Tulkarem in the northern West Bank on Tuesday. The ministry reported three of the dead were killed by airstrikes. The Israeli military said it opened fire after militants attacked soldiers, and it was aware of some uninvolved civilians who were harmed in the raid. An Associated Press photojournalist captured images of Israeli forces detonating an explosive device planted by Palestinian militants during a raid in the Nur Shams refugee camp. Israel has carried out several in the West Bank since the start of the war in Gaza, ignited by Hamas’ Oct. 7 attack on southern Israel. While airstrikes were once rare in the West Bank, they have grown more common since the outbreak of war as Israeli forces clamp down, saying they aim to prevent attacks on their citizens. Israeli fire has in the occupied West Bank since October 2023, Palestinian health officials say. In that time, Palestinian militants have launched a number of attacks on soldiers at checkpoints and within Israel. SAYDNAYA, Syria — A large crowd of Syrians gathered near a historic monastery in Saydnaya on Christmas Eve to witness the lighting of a towering tree adorned with glowing green lights. Tuesday's celebration offered a rare moment of joy in a city scarred by over a decade of war and , where tens of thousands were held. Families and friends stood beneath the illuminated tree — some wearing Santa hats, others watching from rooftops — while a band played festive music and fireworks lit up the sky “This year is different, there’s happiness, victory and a new birth for Syria and a new birth for Christ,” said Houssam Saadeh, one attendee. Another, Joseph Khabbaz, expressed hope for unity across all sects and religions in Syria, dismissing recent Christmas tree vandalism as “isolated incidents.” Earlier in the afternoon, pilgrims visited the historic Our Lady of Saydnaya Monastery, one of the world’s oldest Christian monasteries, believed to be built in the sixth century. In Homs, a similarly grand Christmas tree was illuminated as security officers patrolled the area to ensure a safe and peaceful gathering, according to Syria’s state media. UNITED NATIONS -- Recent attacks on hospitals in North Gaza, where Israel is carrying out an offensive, are having a devastating impact on Palestinian civilians still in the area, the U.N. humanitarian office says. The U.N. Office for the Coordination of Humanitarian Affairs expressed deep concern at reports that the Israeli military entered the Indonesian Hospital on Tuesday, forcing its evacuation. The humanitarian office, known as OCHA, also expressed deep concern at attacks reported in recent days in and around the two other hospitals in North Gaza that are minimally functioning – Al Awda and Kamal Adwan. OCHA said the Israeli siege on Beit Hanoun, Beit Lahia and parts of Jaballiya in North Gaza continued for a 79th day on Tuesday, and while the U.N. and its partners have made 52 attempts to coordinate humanitarian access to besieged areas in December 48 were rejected by Israel. While four missions were approved, OCHA said the U.N. and its partners faced impediments as a result of Israeli military operations and “none of the U.N.-coordinated attempts to access the area have been fully facilitated.” Throughout the Gaza Strip, OCHA said that Israeli authorities facilitated just 40% of requests for humanitarian movements requiring their approval in December. WASHINGTON — A leading global food crisis monitor says deaths from starvation will likely pass famine levels in north Gaza as soon as next month. The U.S.-created Famine Early Warning System Network says that’s because of a near-total Israeli blockade of food and other aid in that part of Gaza. The finding, however, appears to have exposed a rift within the Biden administration over the extent of starvation in northern Gaza. The U.S. ambassador to Israel, Jacob Lew, disputes part of the data used in reaching the conclusion and calls the intensified famine warning “irresponsible.” Northern Gaza has been one of the areas hardest-hit by fighting and Israel’s restrictions on aid throughout its 14-month war with Hamas militants. UNITED NATIONS — Israel’s foreign minister has requested an emergency meeting of the U.N. Security Council to condemn recent missile and drone attacks by Yemen’s Houthi rebels, and to condemn the group's Iranian allies for allegedly providing the group with weapons. Gideon Saar said in a letter Tuesday to Ambassador Linda Thomas-Greenfield of the United States, which holds the council presidency this month, that the Houthis are violating international law and council resolutions. “This Iranian-backed terrorist group continues to endanger Israel’s and other nations’ security, as well as the freedom of maritime navigation, in flagrant violation of international law,” Saar said. “All of this malign activity is done as part of a broader strategy to destabilize the region.” The U.S. Mission to the United Nations did not immediately respond to an email asking when the council meeting will be held. The Houthis have said they launched attacks on shipping in the Red Sea – and on Israel -- with the aim of ending Israel’s devastating air and ground offensive in the Gaza Strip. The Israeli war in Gaza followed Hamas’ deadly October 2023 attacks in southern Israel. TEL AVIV, Israel — An Israeli military investigation has concluded that the presence of troops inadvertently contributed to the deaths of six hostages killed by their Hamas captors in Gaza. The hostages' bodies were discovered in a tunnel in late August, an event that shook Israel and sparked some of the largest anti-war protests since the war began. The investigation found that the six hostages were killed by multiple gunshots from their captors after surviving for nearly 330 days. The Israeli military’s “ground activities in the area, although gradual and cautious, had a circumstantial influence on the terrorists’ decision to murder the six hostages,” the report found. According to the investigation, the Israeli military began operating in the area where the hostages were being held in southern Gaza about two weeks before their discovery, under the assumption that the chances of hostages in the area was medium to low. On August 27, hostage Qaid Farhan Alkadi , causing the Israeli military to halt operations for 24 hours to determine if there could be other hostages in the area. The military discovered the opening leading to the tunnel where the bodies of the six hostages were located on August 30. A pathological report estimated the six hostages were killed on August 29. The six hostages killed were Carmel Gat, Eden Yerushalmi, Alexander Lobanov, Almog Sarusi, Ori Danino, and , whose American-Israeli parents became some of the most recognized spokespeople pleading for the hostages’ release, including days before their son’s killing. “The investigation published tonight proves once again that the return of all hostages will only be possible through a deal,” the Hostages Families Forum said in response to the investigation. “Every passing moment puts the hostages’ lives in immediate danger.” JERUSALEM — The Israeli negotiating team working on a ceasefire returned from Qatar to Israel on Tuesday, the prime minister’s office said, after what it called “a significant week” of talks. After months of deadlock, the U.S., Qatar and Egypt resumed their mediation efforts in recent weeks and reported greater willingness by the warring sides to reach a deal. According to Egyptian and Hamas officials, would take place in phases and include a halt in fighting, an exchange of captive Israeli hostages for Palestinian prisoners, and a surge in aid to the besieged Gaza Strip. Israel says Hamas is holding 100 hostages, over one-third of whom are believed to be dead. On Monday, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said there was “some progress” in efforts to reach a deal, but added he did not know how long it would take. CAIRO — Israeli soldiers took control of a hospital in isolated northern Gaza after forcing all the patients and most of the doctors to leave, the Palestinian Health Ministry said Tuesday. Some of the patients had to walk to another hospital while others were driven by paramedics, according to Health Ministry spokesperson Zaher al-Wahidi. He did not specify how many patients had evacuated. The Israeli military confirmed its troops had entered the Indonesian Hospital in the town of Jabaliya as part of an operation searching for Hamas fighters. The army later said its soldiers had left the hospital. The military said it had assisted with evacuating the patients and had not ordered the hospital closed. However, al-Wahidi said only one doctor and maintenance person were left behind. The Indonesian Hospital is one of three hospitals left largely inaccessible in the northernmost part of Gaza because Israel has imposed a tight siege there since launching an offensive in early October. The Israeli army said Tuesday’s operation at the Indonesian Hospital came after militants carried out attacks from the hospital for the past month, including launching anti-tank missiles and planting explosive devices in the surrounding area. The Health Ministry accused Israel of “besieging and directly targeting” the three hospitals in northern Gaza. Hussam Abu Safiya, the director of Kamal Adwan Hospital, said Israeli drones detonated explosives near the hospital and that 20 people were wounded, including five medical staff. The Israeli military declined to comment on the operation around the hospital. DAMASCUS — Scores of Syrian Christians protested in the capital Damascus on Tuesday, demanding greater protections for their religious minority after a Christmas tree was set on fire in the city of Hama a day earlier. Many of the insurgents who now rule Syria are jihadis, although Ahmad al-Sharaa, the leader of the main rebel group Hayat Tahrir al-Sham, has renounced longtime ties to al-Qaida and spent years depicting himself as a champion of pluralism and tolerance. It remains unclear who set the Christmas tree on fire Monday, which was condemned by a representative of Hayat Tahrir al-Sham who visited the town and addressed the community. “This act was committed by people who are not Syrian, and they will be punished beyond your expectations," the HTS representative said in a video widely shared on social media. "The Christmas tree will be fully restored by this evening.” On Tuesday, protesters marched through the streets of Bab Touma in Damascus, shouting slogans against foreign fighters and carrying large wooden crosses. “We demand that Syria be for all Syrians. We want a voice in the future of our country,” said Patriarch Ignatius Aphrem II of the Syriac Orthodox Church as he addressed the crowd in a church courtyard, assuring them of Christians’ rights in Syria. Since HTS led a swift offensive that overthrew President Bashar Assad earlier this month, Syria’s minority communities have been on edge, uncertain of how they will be treated under the emerging rebel-led government. “We are here to demand a democratic and free government for one people and one nation,” another protester said. “We stand united — Muslims and Christians. No to sectarianism.” DOHA — Qatar’s Foreign Ministry said that ceasefire negotiations to end the war in Gaza were ongoing in Doha in cooperation with Egyptian, Qatari, and American mediators. “We will not leave any door unopened in pursuit of reaching an agreement,” said Majid al-Ansari, Qatar’s Foreign Ministry spokesperson on Tuesday. Al Ansari added that rumors the ceasefire would be reached before Christmas are “speculation.” The ceasefire negotiations come at a time when and many of the nearly 2 million Palestinians displaced by the devastating 15-month war with Israel are struggling to protect themselves from the wind, cold and rain. Families of the approximately 100 hostages who have been held for 445 days in Gaza are also worried their loved ones will not survive another winter. In a press conference, al-Ansari also called on the international community to lift sanctions on Syria as quickly as possible on Tuesday. “The reason was the crimes of the previous regime, and that regime, with all of its authority, is no longer in place, therefor the causes for these sanctions no longer exist today,” he said. DAMASCUS, Syria — American journalist Austin Tice is believed to be still alive, according to the head of an international aid group. Nizar Zakka, who runs the Hostage Aid Worldwide organization, said there has never been any proof that Tice, who has been missing since 2012, is dead. Zakka told reporters in Damascus on Tuesday that Tice was alive in January and being held by the authorities of ousted Syrian President Bashar Assad. He added that U.S. President Joe Biden said in August that Tice was alive. Zakka said he believes Tice was transferred between security agencies over the past 12 years, including in an area where Iranian-backed fighters were operating. Asked if it was possible Tice had been taken out of the country, Zakka said Assad most likely kept him in Syria as a potential bargaining chip. Biden said Dec. 8 that his administration believed Tice was alive and was committed to bringing him home, although he also acknowledged that “we have no direct evidence” of his status. TEL AVIV, Israel — Hannah Katzir, an Israeli woman who was taken hostage on Oct. 7, 2023, and freed in a brief ceasefire last year, has died. She was 78. The Hostages Families Forum, a group representing the families of people taken captive, confirmed the death Tuesday but did not disclose the cause. Her daughter, Carmit Palty Katzir, said in a statement that her mother’s “heart could not withstand the terrible suffering since Oct. 7.” Katzir’s husband, Rami, was killed during the attack by militants who raided their home in Kibbutz Nir Oz. Her son Elad was also kidnapped and his body was recovered in April by the Israeli military, who said he had been killed in captivity. She spent 49 days in captivity and was freed in late November 2023. Shortly after Katzir was freed, her daughter told Israeli media that she had been hospitalized with heart issues attributed to “difficult conditions and starvation” while she was held captive. TEL AVIV, Israel — Israel's military said the projectile was intercepted before crossing into Israeli territory, but it set off air raid sirens overnight in the country's populous central area, sending residents looking for cover. Israel’s rescue service Magen David Adom said a 60-year-old woman was seriously wounded after being hurt on her way to a protected space. There was no immediate comment from Yemen’s Iranian-backed Houthi rebels. It was the third time in a week that fire from Yemen set off sirens in Israel. On Saturday, a missile slammed into a playground in Tel Aviv, injuring 16, after Israel’s air defense system failed to intercept it. Earlier last week, Israeli jets struck Yemen’s rebel-held capital and a port city, killing nine. Israel said the strikes were in response to previous Houthi attacks.( MENAFN - EIN Presswire) Ed Bernstein [leftmost] , Founder of Ed Bernstein Injury Lawyers with the other Partner Sponsors from KNTV's 13 Days & Knights of Giving campaign.

Ruben Amorim warns Man United stars 'the storm will come' as Portuguese admits his unbeaten start will eventually come to an end ahead of Arsenal acid test The Man United manager admitted he isn't getting carried away with unbeaten run Ruben Amorim faces his biggest test yet as United travel to face Arsenal LISTEN NOW: Manchester City correspondent Jack Gaughan joins It's All Kicking Off! to explain whether Pep Guardiola will have money to spend in January By CHRIS WHEELER Published: 22:30 GMT, 3 December 2024 | Updated: 22:35 GMT, 3 December 2024 e-mail 13 shares View comments Ruben Amorim has earned a reputation for many talents during a relatively short coaching career. Tactician, motivator and even poet, if you listen to Cristiano Ronaldo . As Manchester United ’s new head coach braced himself for his fourth game in charge, he added a new string to his bow. Meteorologist. ‘The storm will come,’ forecast Amorim rather ominously, and perhaps he had Wednesday's trip to Arsenal in mind when he said it. The 39-year-old knows he cannot get away with it all the time as he makes running repairs to this United team in mid-season, sometimes plugging round holes with square pegs. ‘We will be found out in some games,’ he predicted. Few teams are as unforgiving as Arsenal at the moment. Mikel Arteta ’s side have scored 13 goals in their last three games, including five before half-time at West Ham last weekend and, worryingly for Amorim, five more away to the formidable Sporting Lisbon side he left behind last month to take the United job. Sporting were on a run of 17 wins and a draw in 18 games since losing the Portuguese Super Cup to Porto in August. They had not been beaten in normal time, and yet there were Arsenal sweeping into a 3-0 first-half lead in a 5-1 Champions League rout at the Estadio Jose Alvalade last week. Ruben Amorim has warned his Manchester United players that ‘the storm will come' ahead of Wednesday's trip to Arsenal United remain unbeaten since Amorim's arrival and are attempting to close the gap to the top four Amorim is attempting to instil a tactical overhaul in United's squad with his preferred 3-4-3 system Does that emphasise the task facing United at the Emirates on Wednesday evening? ‘I already knew it,’ replied Amorim with a smile. ‘I think he (Arteta) has done an amazing job. Sometimes coaches are just judged on titles, but what he has been doing in Arsenal I think is amazing. It transformed the team. ‘He bought some youngsters that now are the big talents in this country. I hope to have the same mind-set that he had in the in the difficult moments because I followed the Premier League for a long time. I think it's a very good characteristic in in Mikel.’ Amorim can at least draw some comfort from having beaten Arteta at the Emirates last year, even though it needed a penalty shootout to settle a Europa League last 16 tie following a 3-3 draw on aggregate. But on Wednesday he will not have the comfort blanket of selecting a team he built and trusts, having admitted to anxiety at United because he simply doesn’t know what will happen from one minute to the next. And, he fears, Arteta’s team are even better now; less predictable too with Riccardo Calafiori and Jurrien Timber at full-back and Martin Odegaard roaming free. The Arsenal captain was an extra-time substitute when Amorim won at the Emirates, but Odegaard’s return from a 12-match absence due an ankle injury has given the Gunners an extra dimension in recent weeks. ‘Arsenal this year, they play a little bit different. They are more fluid,’ added Amorim. Amorim faces his biggest test yet against Arsenal ‘For example, when we faced them with Sporting, you knew how to press because you can understand better the structure. Now it's more fluid with Calafiori and Timber in different sides; one coming inside, the other going outside. Also, Odegaard changed the team, and you can feel it during the season. ‘Every game is different and you already know that you are going to face a very good team.’ Stopping Odegaard from pulling the strings will be key for United if they are to get anything from the game, but one player Amorim didn’t mention was Bukayo Saka. The England winger terrorised Sporting’s back-three down the right last week, helped by the fact that Maximiliano Araujo pushed too high and left Goncalo Inacio isolated. Amorim will need his left wing-back to provide more protection for his back-three against Saka on Wednesday, and particularly whoever replaces the suspended Lisandro Martinez on the left side. Harry Maguire is fit again and young Leny Yoro has travelled with the squad, but Jonny Evans has missed the last two games and there are concerns that Luke Shaw might also have picked up another injury after a comeback lasting three substitute appearances . United won’t need warning about the threat posed by Arsenal’s set-piece specialists at corners and free kicks, but it will be interesting to see how Amorim’s assistant Carlos Fernandes tries to combat it having replaced Andreas Georgson as United’s set-piece coach. Expect Matthjs De Ligt to keep a close eye on Gabriel. With Kobbie Mainoo also suspended after just one game back from injury, Amorim must weigh up his midfield options but Manuel Ugarte – sent off for Sporting at the Emirates last year – is likely to be given the job of marking Odegaard. While United’s first priority on Wednesday evening will be keeping Arsenal quiet, one area where they could expose the Gunners is at left-back. Calafiori can be uncomfortable against quick wingers who come inside on their stronger left foot, and that is something Amad Diallo could exploit. The little Ivorian has prospered more than any other United player under Amorim, and is likely to start at right wing-back again. ‘You try to choose players that you can put in that position and the technical characteristics are perfect for him,’ said Amorim. ‘Because of his left foot. If you are right-footed, sometimes you don't have the space to come inside. United will be without the suspended Lisandro Martinez (left) for the trip to Arsenal, while Amad Diallo (right) is expected to start Amorim knows United’s first priority on Wednesday evening will be keeping Arsenal quiet ‘In that position, you need to have a good physicality. Good physicality is not the size, but he can run. And that is a key point in that position. He has good control and he seems faster with the ball than without the ball. ‘He can play in different systems. In the in the future, we will play in the different system maybe, so it's the that kind of player that we need in team.’ Hardly surprising then that United have been working on a new contract for Diallo. Unless the club offer him a new deal or trigger the extension in his current one, he will be a free agent in the summer and can talk to foreign clubs from next month. ‘I think he wants to stay and we want him to stay, so that is clear and we will find a solution,’ said Amorim. Martin Odegaard’s return from a 12-match absence due an ankle injury has given the Gunners an extra dimension in recent weeks Arsenal are bouncing ahead of facing United after beating West Ham 5-2 at the weekend For now, United’s new head coach is focussed on navigating the toughest challenge yet in what has been a steep learning curve for him and his players. Has the size of the job exceeded his expectations? ‘A little bit,’ Amorim admitted, ‘because you don't know how life is in this kind of club. So it's always a surprise. I think I can manage that, but you have to do so much more than coach the team. ‘You have to manage the time in a different way. You have less time to prepare the games, not just because you are playing after two days, but also because you have a lot to do. I can say I was a little bit surprised. ‘We are improving slowly, but we don't have training. So I'm very pleased with all the work and the effort that the players are doing in this moment. It is what it is and we will try to win, and we go with confidence to win – but we know that we need to play very well to win the next football match.’ Premier League Arsenal Manchester United Share or comment on this article: Ruben Amorim warns Man United stars 'the storm will come' as Portuguese admits his unbeaten start will eventually come to an end ahead of Arsenal acid test e-mail 13 shares Add commentJustice Are Extending The ‘Justice: Live’ Tour To 2025 With New Dates

Rep. Barragán Introduces Zero-Emission Vessel Innovation Act

BlackRock Inc. stock underperforms Wednesday when compared to competitorsRegional, racial, and economic disparities in cancer risk from air pollution exposure persist, but improving, new research suggests December 3, 2024 Desert Research Institute A nationwide U.S. assessment of estimated cancer risk from airborne toxics shows that risk is concentrated in urban communities, those with lower incomes, and those with higher proportions of racial minorities. Facebook Twitter Pinterest LinkedIN Email New research builds on scientific understanding of how air pollution and cancer risk are distributed throughout the U.S. Air pollution, often resulting from industrial or vehicle emissions, can travel for hundreds of miles and impact the health of communities through higher rates of asthma, respiratory infections, stroke, and lung cancer. Although previous studies have identified disparities in how public health risks vary by income and race, a new study takes a detailed look across U.S. census tracts to find patterns in who is most at risk from cancer resulting from lifetime exposure to air pollution and how this risk is changing through time. Researchers from Desert Research Institute (DRI) and the University of Nevada, Reno (UNR) teamed up for the new study, published October in Environmental Science & Technology . Using sociodemographic data from the U.S. Census Bureau and public health and air pollution information from the U.S. Environmental Protection Agency (EPA) between 2011 and 2019, the study identified higher estimated cancer risk tied to air toxics in urban communities, those with lower incomes, and those with higher proportions of racial minorities. "I wanted to look holistically at poor health outcomes from air pollution exposure throughout the country and through time to see if things are getting better or worse, and what the main socioeconomic drivers are for where the pollution is being distributed," says Patrick Hurbain, postdoctoral researcher and environmental epidemiologist at DRI who led the study. Although previous studies have identified public health disparities related to specific air pollutants, this is one of the first to look at air pollution loads as a whole and changes over time. Public and environmental health data came from the EPA's Air Toxics Screening Assessment. This publicly available tool ( https://www.epa.gov/AirToxScreen/airtoxscreen-mapping-tool ) maps concentrations of hundreds of toxic air pollutants from all sources, as well as cancer risk estimates tied to lifetime exposure across U.S. census tracts. Census tracts with the highest estimated cancer risk were found in urban communities, with racial demographics showing stronger correlations with disparities than either income or education level. Communities with the highest levels of estimated cancer risk, like "Cancer Alley" in southern Louisiana, have significantly more Black and Hispanic community members compared to White individuals. This racial disparity was not consistent in rural and suburban communities, where larger White populations showed higher burdens of cancer risk. "There is a definite effect of the social makeup of an area with respect to their estimated risk from air pollution," Hurbain says. The study found that racial disparities peaked in 2011, with the magnitude of the disparity improving in later years. "That means that air pollution control measures are doing better, and people are, in fact, getting less air toxics across the country, which is exciting," Hurbain says. Disparities for lower income communities, however, were found to be consistent through time. Hurbain hopes to expand on the research by focusing on the most impacted communities and taking a closer look at factors like the age of housing, poverty levels, and surrounding industries to identify ways to improve public health. With publicly available data like the map used for this study, Hurbain hopes that more people will get involved in examining the risks in their own communities. "Everyone can be a citizen scientist and start looking at the state of our environment," he says. Story Source: Materials provided by Desert Research Institute .
