Ferocious blaze in Hong Kong leaves at least 44 dead, 279 missing – as it happened-Among scores hospitalised, 45 were in serious condition; four of the 7 blocks under control, with search for survivors starting on lower floors-SCMP Reporters-Published: 4:44pm, 26 Nov 2025Updated: 9:09am, 27 Nov 2025
What we know so far:44 people, including a firefighter, have died. Some 279 are still missing-Among those hospitalised, 45 are in serious condition-The eight residential blocks in the estate had been undergoing renovations since July 2024, sheathed in bamboo scaffolding and green mesh-Authorities say the rapid spread of fire was “unusual”, with styrofoam material found in buildings-Government will launch investigations, including criminal probes, to find cause of deadly blaze-Blazes in three of the seven buildings were brought under control by early morning, after nearly 10 hours. Four more are still engulfed in flames-Chief Executive John Lee has described the fire as a “massive catastrophe”900 people are seeking refuge in community halls-Electioneering activities have been suspended ahead of December 7 election-Lee says he will review if there is a need to postpone the election-Forty-four people have been killed and 279 others are missing after a ferocious blaze ravaged a housing estate in Hong Kong’s Tai Po neighbourhood, with scorching flames ripping through bamboo scaffolding on seven residential blocks.Among the scores hospitalised, 45 are in a serious condition, according to the Fire Services Department.Chief Executive John Lee Ka-chiu spoke to the public in a press conference at Prince of Wales Hospital in Sha Tin early on Thursday, after visiting a community hall the evening before.Earlier, President Xi Jinping expressed his condolences in a late-evening statement and called for “all-out efforts” to minimise casualties and losses, according to state broadcaster CCTV.The fire was first reported at 2.51pm on Wednesday and soon grew into an inferno, with huge plumes of dark smoke billowing high into the sky at the scene at Wang Fuk Court, and the flames quickly spreading to seven out of eight blocks in the estate.Police said they received multiple reports of people trapped in the building where the blaze started, with a man and a woman reportedly unconscious and suffering from burns.The blaze was initially classified as a No 1 alarm fire but was quickly raised to No 4 by 3.34pm and then to the top-level No 5 at 6.22pm. In Hong Kong, fires are rated on a scale of one to five, with higher numbers indicating greater severity.Footage from the scene shows bamboo scaffolding outside several flats of the building engulfed in flames, with burning sections of green scaffolding mesh falling to the ground.Such scaffoldings are commonly used for construction and renovation work.

HONG KONG, Nov 26 (Reuters) - At least 36 people were killed and 279 were missing on Wednesday after Hong Kong's deadliest fire in three decades ripped through high-rise residential towers sheathed in flammable bamboo scaffolding, authorities said.Hours after the fire started in the northern Tai Po district, flames and thick smoke still engulfed the 32-storey towers where many people were believed trapped inside. Rescue workers swarmed the site as shocked inhabitants watched on.The cause of the blaze was not immediately known, but it was fanned by green construction mesh and bamboo scaffolding - a mainstay of traditional Chinese architecture but subject to a phase-out in Hong Kong since March for safety reasons.Police arrested three men on suspicion of manslaughter over the fire, public broadcaster RTHK said, without giving more details.Working through the night, firefighters were struggling to reach upper floors of the Wang Fuk Court housing complex, which has 2,000 apartments in eight blocks, due to the intense heat.One 71-year-old resident surnamed Wong broke down in tears, saying his wife was trapped inside.A firefighter was among the 36 killed, and 29 people were in hospital, Hong Kong leader John Lee told reporters. Some 900 people were in eight shelters."The priority is to extinguish the fire and rescue the residents who are trapped. The second is to support the injured. The third is to support and recover. Then, we'll launch a thorough investigation," Lee told reporters.Harry Cheung, 66, who has lived at Block Two in one of the complexes for more than 40 years, said he heard a loud noise about 2:45 p.m. (0645 GMT) and saw fire erupt in a nearby block."I immediately went back to pack up my things," he said."I don't even know how I feel right now. I'm just thinking about where I'm going to sleep tonight."CHINA'S XI URGES 'ALL-OUT' EFFORT AGAINST FIRE-Frames of scaffolding were seen tumbling to the ground as firefighters battled the blaze, while scores of fire engines and ambulances lined the road below the development.From the mainland, China's President Xi Jinping urged an "all-out effort" to extinguish the fire and to minimise casualties and losses, China's state broadcaster CCTV said.The fire department said that by late night the flames in three buildingswere under control but remained untamed in four.Hong Kong's sky-high property prices have long been a trigger for social discontent in the city and the fire tragedy could further stoke resentment towards authorities ahead of a city-wide legislative election in early December.Hong Kong's Transport Department said that due to the fire, an entire section of the Tai Po Road, one of Hong Kong's two main highways, had been closed and buses were being diverted.At least six schools will be closed on Thursday due to the fire and traffic congestion, the city's Education Bureau said.It was Hong Kong's worst fire since 41 people died in a commercial building in the Kowloon district in November 1996. That fire was caused by welding during internal renovations.A public inquiry yielded sweeping updates to building standards and fire safety regulations in high-rise offices, shops and homes.BAMBOO SCAFFOLDING BEING PHASED OUT-Hong Kong is one of the last places in the world where bamboo is still widely used for scaffolding in construction.On mainland China, where use of bamboo in construction originated from ancient times, scaffolding is now mainly metal.Hong Kong's government moved to start phasing out bamboo scaffolding in March, citing worker safety after 22 deaths involving bamboo scaffolders between 2019 and 2024.
It announced that 50% of public construction works would be required to use metal frames instead.Though fire hazard was not cited as a reason for the phase-out, there have been at least three fires involving bamboo scaffolding this year, according to The Association for the Rights of Industrial Accident Victims in Hong Kong.
Wang Fuk Court is one of many high-rise housing complexes in Hong Kong, one of the most densely populated areas in the world. Tai Po, located near the border with mainland China, is an established suburban district with some 300,000 residents.Occupied since 1983, the complex is under the government's subsidised home ownership scheme, according to property agency websites. According to online posts, it has been undergoing renovations for a year at a cost of HK$330 million ($42.43 million), with each unit paying between HK$160,000 and HK$180,000.
Owning a home is a distant dream for many in Hong Kong, one of the world's most expensive housing markets and where residential rents are hovering around record highs.($1 = 7.7779 Hong Kong dollars)-Reporting by Joyce Zhou, Tyrone Siu, Jessie Pang, Anne Marie Roantree, Clare Jim, Greg Torode and James Pomfret; writing by Charlie Devereux and Andrew Cawthorne; editing by Mark Heinrich and Diane Craft

National Guard soldiers shot in 'targeted' attack near White House-By Jana Winter, Ted Hesson and Leah Douglas-November 26, 202510:19 PM EST
WASHINGTON, Nov 26 (Reuters) - Two National Guard soldiers were shot and critically wounded on Wednesday in downtown Washington near the White House in what officials described as a targeted ambush, and the suspect was in custody after suffering gunshot wounds during the attack.Investigators identified the suspect as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, a 29-year-old Afghan national from Washington State, according to two Trump administration officials who spoke on condition of anonymity. The attack is being investigated as an act of terrorism, one official said.Lakanwal came to the U.S. in 2021 under Operation Allies Welcome, according to the second official, a Biden-era program to resettle thousands of Afghans who assisted the U.S. during the Afghanistan war and were vulnerable to reprisals from the ruling Taliban after the U.S. withdrawal. He was processed through Washington Dulles International Airport on September 8 of that year.Lakanwal applied for asylum in December 2024 and was approved on April 23 of this year, according to the official, three months after President Donald Trump took office. He has no criminal history.Trump, who was at his resort in Florida at the time of the attack, released a prerecorded video statement late on Wednesday calling the shooting "an act of evil, an act of hatred and an act of terror." He said his administration would "re-examine" all Afghans who came to the U.S. during Joe Biden's presidency.The two soldiers, members of the West Virginia National Guard, were part of a "high-visibility patrol" around 2:15 p.m. ET (1915 GMT) near the corner of 17th and I streets, a few blocks from the White House. The suspect came around a corner and "ambushed" them, Metropolitan Police Assistant Chief Jeff Carroll said at a press briefing.After an exchange of gunfire, other National Guard troops subdued the shooter, he said. The two wounded soldiers were in critical condition at local hospitals, FBI Director Kash Patel said."This is a targeted attack," Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said at the briefing.The shooter appeared to have acted alone, officials said.Trump ordered 500 more guard soldiers deployed to Washington, Secretary of Defense Pete Hegseth told reporters, joining about 2,200 already in the city as part of the president's contentious immigration and crime crackdown targeting Democratic-led cities.U.S. Vice President JD Vance, who was in Kentucky on Wednesday, said in a post on X that the shooting proved that the Trump administration's immigration policy was justified."We must redouble our efforts to deport people with no right to be in our country," he said.Critics of the Trump administration's immigration policy say it has employed illegally harsh tactics and swept up immigrants indiscriminately, including some with no criminal history and others here legally.WITNESSES DESCRIBE CHAOTIC SCENE-The shooting unfolded near Farragut Square, a popular lunch spot for office workers just a few blocks from the White House. The park, where light posts are wrapped in wreaths and bows for the holiday season, is flanked by fast-casual restaurants and a coffee shop, as well as two metro stops.Witnesses described a chaotic scene after shots were fired, with pedestrians fleeing.Mike Ryan, 55, said he was on his way to buy lunch nearby when he heard what sounded like gunfire. He ran half a block away and heard another round of apparent gunfire.When he made his way back to the scene, he saw two National Guard soldiers on the ground across the street, with people trying to resuscitate one of them. At the same time, other guard troops had pinned someone on the ground, Ryan said.Another witness, Emma McDonald, said she saw one of the soldiers carried away on a stretcher minutes after the shooting, his head covered in blood and an automated compression system attached to his chest.National Guard soldiers have been in Washington since Trump's initial deployment in August, a move that was opposed by local officials and criticized by Democrats. The guard troops in the city include contingents from the District of Columbia as well as Louisiana, Mississippi, Ohio, South Carolina, West Virginia, Georgia and Alabama.Trump, a Republican, has suggested repeatedly that crime has disappeared from the capital as a result of the deployment, an assertion at odds with the police department's official crime statistics.Reporting by Jana Winter, Ted Hesson, Leah Douglas, Idrees Ali, Jeff Mason, Steve Gorman, Kanishka Singh, Phil Stewart, Ismail Shakil, Maria Tsvetkova, Jasper Ward and David Morgan; Writing by Joseph Ax; editing by Susan Heavey, Paul Thomasch, Cynthia Osterman, Deepa Babington and Stephen Coates
Israel reportedly offers trapped Hamas fighters in Rafah chance to surrender, relocate-Hamas calls for pressure to release the fighters, acknowledging them for first time; ‘It appears they have decided to become martyrs’ official reportedly says By Nava Freiberg,AFP and ToI Staff Today, 6:11 am-NOV 27,25
Israel reportedly conveyed a proposal to Hamas last week that would allow the release of dozens of Hamas fighters believed to be trapped in tunnels in an IDF-controlled area of eastern Rafah, as long as they surrender.The report came as Hamas called for international pressure on Israel to release the operatives, the first time it acknowledged their situation. They have been in the tunnels for weeks, and Israel has either killed or captured dozens who have tried to flee.According to the report on Channel 12, which cited an Israeli official, Israel sent the proposal to senior Hamas officials through mediating countries. Under the proposal, the remaining fighters in the area would be permitted to emerge if they surrender and agree to be transferred to Israeli prisons.They would later be eligible for release and relocation to the Hamas-controlled area of the Gaza Strip, on the condition that they pledge not to return to terrorism and agree to disarm. As of the beginning of the ceasefire on October 10, Israel controls the eastern half of Gaza, while the western half is under Hamas control.Since the proposal was made, the operatives have not surrendered and have on multiple occasions emerged from tunnels in attempts to flee or attack IDF forces. Channel 12 noted that it is unclear whether Hamas leaders can even communicate with the trapped fighters.“We gave the terrorists in Rafah the option to live and to leave the tunnels,” an Israeli official told Channel 12. “So far, they have not agreed to meet the conditions we set. It appears they have decided to become martyrs.”In the past week, the IDF has reported killing over 20 terror operatives and capturing a further eight, after they tried to flee from the tunnels in Rafah. On Wednesday, the military said it killed four Palestinian gunmen and captured two other operatives who emerged from tunnels in IDF-held territory.Also on Wednesday, Hamas called on mediating countries to pressure Israel to allow safe passage for the operatives.“We hold [Israel] fully responsible for the lives of our fighters and call upon our mediators to take immediate action to pressure [Israel] to allow our sons to return home,” the terror group said in a statement.It was the first time Hamas had publicly acknowledged that its members were trapped in the tunnels.Earlier this month, US Special Envoy Steve Witkoff, who played a central role in brokering the ceasefire, alluded during a business conference in Miami to the “200 fighters who are trapped in Rafah.” He said that their surrender, including turning over their weapons, could be a “test” for both parties in the ceasefire, Israel and Hamas.Israel has resisted giving the fighters unconditional free passage and has insisted that Hamas disarm, a key piece of US President Donald Trump’s 20-point plan for Gaza.In its statement on Wednesday, Hamas accused Israel of violating the ceasefire agreement through the “pursuit, liquidation and arrest of resistance fighters besieged in the tunnels of Rafah.”
Attacker killed, IDF says, 60 reportedly detained in northern West Bank operation-Military says troops unhurt after Palestinian man throws explosive; large operation targets terror infrastructure; mayor of Palestinian town among those detained, released-By Noam Lehmann and Emanuel FabianToday, 5:22 am-NOV 27,25
Israeli soldiers killed an attacker who threw an explosive at them, the IDF said, while a Palestinian NGO said 60 people were detained as Israel conducted a large counterterror operation in the northern West Bank.Among those detained and then released was the mayor of a Palestinian town, according to a group affiliated with Hamas.The operation, which began overnight between Tuesday and Wednesday, was launched in response to efforts by Palestinian terror groups to establish a presence in the area.On Wednesday night, the IDF confirmed that a Palestinian who hurled an explosive device at Israeli soldiers during a raid in the northern West Bank town of Qabatiya had been shot dead.The soldiers of the Paratroopers Brigade’s reconnaissance unit were not hurt by the bomb.“The troops responded by opening fire and eliminating” the attacker, the military said. After the suspect was killed, the IDF said the soldiers found several more bombs inside his car, which were then destroyed.The Palestinian Authority’s health ministry named the man as Osama Yasser Mohammed Kumail. Local sources cited by WAFA, the PA’s official news agency, said Kumail was shot in the stomach near a cafe in Qabatiya and taken to a hospital, where he was declared dead.The operation was being carried out by the equivalent of three IDF brigades, and included forces from the Commando Brigade and Samaria and Menashe regional brigades, alongside Border Police officers.Israeli Air Force helicopters were also deployed, with the IDF reporting that strikes were carried out before the troops entered the towns, to “isolate the area and cordon it off.” The operation is expected to last several days.The Palestine Red Crescent Society said on Wednesday that its medics were treating an 85-year-old man who was beaten by IDF soldiers in the Palestinian town of Tubas, in the northeast of the West Bank.He was taken to a hospital, the ambulance service said. The IDF did not respond to a request for comment on the incident as of Wednesday evening.And a Palestinian NGO said on Wednesday that Israeli security forces arrested or performed field interrogations on 60 people, including minors, in Tubas. It was unclear how long they would be held, and how many had been released.Among those detained and later released was Samir Basharat, the mayor of Tammun, a town in the area, according to the Hamas-affiliated Prisoner Affairs Office.Violence in the West Bank has soared since the Hamas attack on Israel on October 7, 2023, which triggered the Gaza war.More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West Bank by Israeli forces or settlers since the war started, according to the PA health ministry. The IDF says the vast majority of them were gunmen killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops, or terrorists carrying out attacks.During the same period, 63 civilians and Israeli security personnel have been killed in terror attacks in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security forces were killed in clashes during raids in Palestinian cities in the West Bank.The same period has also seen a major surge in attacks by settler extremists on Palestinians and their property across the West Bank. The IDF has recorded more than 752 incidents of nationalistic crime and settler violence since the start of the year. The total for 2024 was 675 incidents
Two US National Guard troops shot, critically hurt in DC; suspect believed to be Afghan national-Shooting occurs near White House; Trump says gunman will pay ‘very steep price,’ orders review of Afghan refugees who entered US under Biden; Herzog, Sa’ar express sorrowBy AP, Lazar Berman and ToI Staff Today, 12:55 am-NOV 27,25
WASHINGTON — Two US National Guard members from West Virginia who deployed to Washington, DC, were shot Wednesday just blocks from the White House in a brazen act of violence.FBI Director Kash Patel and Washington Mayor Muriel Bowser said the troops were hospitalized in critical condition. Bowser said they were victims of a ”targeted shooting.”Two law enforcement officials and a person familiar with the matter said the suspect was believed to be an Afghan national who entered the US in September 2021 and has been living in Washington state. The suspect was in custody, was also shot and had wounds that were not believed to be life-threatening, according to a law enforcement official who was not authorized to discuss the matter publicly and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.The suspect has been identified by law enforcement officials as Rahmanullah Lakanwal, but authorities were still working to fully confirm his background, they said. The people could not discuss details of an ongoing investigation and spoke to The Associated Press on condition of anonymity.Hours later, in a video message, US President Donald Trump called for the reinvestigation of all Afghan refugees who entered under the Biden administration, which was in office from 2021 to the beginning of this year.Jeffrey Carroll, an executive assistant DC police chief, said investigators had no information on a motive. He said the assailant “came around the corner” and immediately started firing at the troops, citing video reviewed by investigators.The West Virginia governor initially said the troops had died, but later walked back the statement to say his office was “receiving conflicting reports” about their condition. The governor’s office did not immediately respond to questions about the attack and the condition of the troops.President Isaac Herzog expressed Israel’s “deep sorrow” over the shooting. “From Israel, we send a message of friendship and solidarity to [President Donald Trump], and all those serving in and around the White House,” Herzog continued. “We stand shoulder to shoulder with our greatest friend and ally, the United States of America.”Foreign Minister Gideon Sa’ar posted on X that he was “shocked and deeply saddened,” and added, “We stand in solidarity with the United States, the American people and [US President Donald Trump].”Trump, who was in Florida for Thanksgiving, warned in a statement on social media that the “animal” who shot the guardsmen “will pay a very steep price.”Investigators were trying to determine the gunman’s motive, including whether the suspect was targeting the troops for any specific reason, the law enforcement official told AP. The shooting happened roughly two blocks northwest of the White House.Social media video shared in the immediate aftermath showed first responders attempting CPR on one of the soldiers and treating the other on a glass-covered sidewalk. Other officers could be seen steps away, restraining an individual on the ground.Emergency medical responders transported all three people to a hospital, according to Vito Maggiolo, the public information officer for the DC Fire and Emergency Services.The presence of the National Guard in the nation’s capital has been a flashpoint issue for months, fueling a court fight and a broader public policy debate about the Trump administration’s use of the military to combat what officials cast as an out-of-control crime problem.More than 300 West Virginia National Guard members were deployed to Washington in August. Last week, about 160 of them volunteered to extend their deployment until the end of the year, while the others returned to West Virginia just over a week ago.Police tape cordoned off the scene where fire and police vehicle lights flashed and helicopter blades thudded overhead. Agents from the US Secret Service and Bureau of Alcohol, Tobacco, Firearms and Explosives were on scene, as National Guard troops stood sentry nearby. At least one helicopter landed on the National Mall.In Fort Campbell, Kentucky, US Vice President JD Vance urged “everybody who’s a person of faith” to pray for the two troops. He cautioned that much remained unknown, including the motive of the shooter.“I think it’s a somber reminder that soldiers, whether they’re active duty, reserve or National Guard, our soldiers are the sword and the shield of the United States of America,” Vance said as he delivered a Thanksgiving message to troops.A spokesperson for DC Mayor Muriel Bowser said local leaders were actively monitoring the situation.Trump issued an emergency order in August that federalized the local police force and sent in National Guard troops from eight states and the District of Columbia. The order expired a month later, but the troops remained.Last week, a federal judge ordered an end to the deployment but also put her order on hold for 21 days to allow the Trump administration time to either remove the troops or appeal the decision.

over 'basic counterterrorism obligations'Hundreds of Oct. 7 victims sue
world’s biggest crypto exchange for Hamas money-laundering-US suit
alleges Binance and its founder knowingly enabled multiple terror groups
to move over $1B through its platform, including after massacre, and
after paying earlier $4B fine-By Jonathan Stempel Today, 2:11 am-NOV
24,25
Reuters — Victims of Hamas’ October 2023 attack on Israel
sued Binance and its founder Changpeng Zhao, accusing them of
facilitating millions of dollars in payments to the group and other
US-designated terrorist groups.According to a complaint made public on
Monday, the world’s largest cryptocurrency exchange laundered money for
Hamas even after pleading guilty in November 2023 and paying a $4.32
billion criminal penalty for violating federal anti-money-laundering and
sanctions laws.The plaintiffs include 306 American victims of Hamas’s
invasion and slaughter, including relatives of people killed, injured or
taken hostage, and subsequent attacks by various groups.They accused
Binance of knowingly enabling Hamas, Hezbollah, Palestinian Islamic
Jihad and Iran’s Revolutionary Guard to move more than $1 billion
through its platform, including more than $50 million after the October 7
onslaught.Zhao pleaded guilty to anti-money-laundering violations in
connection with Binance’s plea and served a four-month prison sentence.
US President Donald Trump pardoned him on October 23.“Binance
intentionally structured itself as a refuge for illicit activity,” the
complaint said. “To this day, there is no indication that Binance has
meaningfully altered its core business model.”In a statement, Binance
declined to discuss the lawsuit but said “we comply fully with
internationally recognized sanctions laws.” A lawyer representing Zhao
in related litigation declined to comment.The lawsuit seeks compensatory
and triple damages, among other remedies.According to the complaint,
large sums of cryptocurrency went through accounts of people with no
obvious financial means to explain them.They allegedly included a
Venezuelan woman who appeared to operate a Brazilian livestock-related
company, Fazenda Amazonia, or Amazonia Farm in English.Her account,
opened in 2022 when she was 26, allegedly received more than $177
million in deposits, and more than $130 million in withdrawals were
made, the complaint said.“When a company chooses profit over even the
most basic counterterrorism obligations, it must be held accountable –
and it will be,” Lee Wolosky, a lawyer for the plaintiffs, said in a
statement.The complaint was filed in North Dakota federal court. It said
at least two suspicious transactions went through online addresses in
Kindred, North Dakota, which has about 1,000 people.Binance and Zhao are
separately defending against a lawsuit by other attack victims in
Manhattan federal court. The lawsuit claims they provided a
“clandestine” funding mechanism for Hamas and Palestinian Islamic Jihad
to raise money and transact illegal business for several years.A judge
rejected the defendants’ motion to dismiss that case in February.
Directive
notably doesn't mention US allies Qatar or Turkey-Trump launches
process aimed at potentially sanctioning Muslim Brotherhood-President
orders cabinet members to present a report within 30 days on whether he
should designate Brotherhood chapters in countries like Jordan, Lebanon
or Egypt as terror groups By Jacob Magid-Today, 1:06 am-NOV 24,25
US
President Donald Trump signed an executive order on Monday beginning
the process of potentially designating certain country chapters of the
Muslim Brotherhood as terror organizations.The directive stopped short
of an actual designation, which will take more time, given that the
Muslim Brotherhood is not a centralized organization with an
international headquarters. Rather, chapters vary in ideology and
politics depending on the country in which they are based.The executive
order directs US Secretary of State Marco Rubio and Treasury Secretary
Scott Bessent to submit a joint report within 30 days on whether to
designate specific chapters, such as the ones in Lebanon, Egypt, and
Jordan as Foreign Terrorist Organizations (FTO) or Specially Designated
Global Terrorists (SDGTs).If the report concludes that such designations
are warranted, the two secretaries will have 45 days to levy the
sanctions, the executive order says.“The order’s ultimate aim is to
eliminate the designated chapters’ capabilities and operations, deprive
them of resources, and end any threat such chapters pose to US nationals
and the national security of the United States,” read a statement from
the White House.The White House claimed that the Lebanese wing of the
Muslim Brotherhood helped terror groups launch multiple rocket attacks
targeting Israel, while a senior member of the Egypt wing encouraged
attacks against US allies in the Middle East hours after Hamas’s October
7 attack. Hamas began as an offshoot of the Muslim Brotherhood.The
White House asserted that the Jordanian wing of the Brotherhood has also
long provided support to the military wing of Hamas, which the US has
already designated as an FTO.Notably, the executive order makes no
mention of Qatar and Turkey, which both have had ties to the Muslim
Brotherhood, but have also become close allies of the administration.
Both countries have hosted exiled Muslim Brotherhood leaders, albeit
with the knowledge and sometimes urging of the US.A wide range of Muslim
Brotherhood-linked organizations and charities operate in Turkey and
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan’s AKP party shares ideological affinities
with the Brotherhood, even though the latter remains formally
separate.Qatar has also historically been seen as a major backer of
Muslim Brotherhood ideology via its diplomatic efforts and the media
outlets that the government funds. However, there is no formal Muslim
Brotherhood chapter in Qatar, and the organization’s members have faced
limitations in recent years inside the country.It’s unclear how
stridently the order will be upheld, even if specific chapters are
designated.In February, Trump signed an executive order sanctioning the
International Criminal Court over its efforts to prosecute Israeli and
US officials. However, only three Palestinian human rights organizations
were sanctioned for cooperating with those cases against Jerusalem and
Washington, even though a wide range of organizations across the globe
are believed to have assisted in the same effort.Regardless, the
sanctioning of the Muslim Brotherhood will likely have a chilling effect
on any organization considering doing business with local chapters
around the globe who will think twice about the legal ramifications of
such cooperation.Earlier Monday, the White House’s social media account
on X posted, “TRUMP VOWS TO DESIGNATE MUSLIM BROTHERHOOD A TERRORIST
ORGANIZATION,” above a screenshot of an identically worded New York Post
headline, which wasn’t in all-caps.On Sunday, the conservative outlet
Just the News quoted Trump as having said in an interview that the move
would “be done in the strongest and most powerful terms,” and that
“final documents are being drawn” up.Sunday’s report was quickly
welcomed by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who indicated that he
could follow suit. Netanyahu’s declaration was taken as a hint that he
could ban the Islamist Ra’am party in Israel, which has denied links
with the Muslim Brotherhood and decried the premier’s
statement.Netanyahu sought to bring Ra’am into his coalition several
years ago before talks broke down and the party, led by Mansour Abbas,
decided to join the Bennett-Lapid government in 2021.Founded in 1928,
the Brotherhood later established itself as the main Islamist opposition
movement in Egypt, spread regionally with ardent offshoots from Tunisia
to Turkey, and eventually, worldwide, with the terrorist group Hamas
getting its start as the organization’s Palestinian branch.After the
2013 military overthrow of the elected Brotherhood Egyptian president,
Mohamed Morsi, the Islamist group was banned and deemed a terror group.
The group is also banned in Saudi Arabia, the United Arab Emirates,
Russia, Syria and Jordan.Last week, Texas Governor Greg Abbott said he
designated the Muslim Brotherhood and the Council on American-Islamic
Relations as foreign terrorist and transnational criminal
organizations.“This bans them from buying or acquiring land in Texas and
authorizes the Attorney General to sue to shut them down,” Abbott said
on X.CAIR is one of the most prominent Muslim groups in the US. Abbott
shared a proclamation that linked the designation to CAIR’s support for
the Hamas-led October 7, 2023, massacre in Israel, the group’s past ties
to a Hamas network in the US, and other issues.Agencies and Times of

Group leaders said
favoring diplomacy, as Iran urges revenge-‘The Zionists should be
worried’: Threats, anti-US chants at funeral of Hezbollah No. 2-Day
after IDF assassination of Haytham Ali Tabatabai, thousands of
supporters of terror group chant, ‘We will not leave our weapons,’ in
defiance of year-old ceasefire’s terms By Noam Lehmann, Lazar
Berman,Agencies and ToI Staff 24 November 2025, 11:31 pm
Thousands
of Hezbollah supporters gathered Monday in southern Beirut for the
funeral of the Iran-backed terror group’s military chief, Haytham Ali
Tabatabai, a day after he was assassinated by the Israel Defense Forces
in an airstrike in the Lebanese capital, with attendees threatening
retaliation.Those present walked by Tabatabai’s coffin, draped in the
group’s yellow flag, as it was carried through the crowd. The burial of
Tabatabai and two other Hezbollah members took place in a cemetery in
Beirut’s southern suburbs, a densely populated area where Hezbollah
holds sway, in which the terrorist organization’s fighters are
traditionally laid to rest.The crowd yelled slogans against Israel and
the United States, while supporters carried portraits of Hezbollah’s
leaders and Iran’s supreme leader, Ayatollah Ali Khamenei.“We will not
leave our weapons! We will not leave our land!” the mourners chanted.
Top Hezbollah political officials attended the funeral in person, but it
was unclear if any military officials were present.Hezbollah executive
council head Sheikh Ali Daamoush said Israel should be wary of
Hezbollah’s response.Daamoush said: “The Zionists should be worried,
because they’ve committed a grave crime against the resistance and
against Lebanon.”Referring to a potential diplomatic resolution to the
tensions, Daamoush said: “We won’t concern ourselves with any proposals
as long as the enemy doesn’t commit to the ceasefire agreement” that
Israel and Hezbollah reached a year ago. Israel has accused Hezbollah of
breaching the accord and says its strikes against the terror group are
meant to prevent it from rearming.Alluding to US and other countries’
pressure on Beirut to disarm Hezbollah, as outlined in the ceasefire
agreement, Daamoush added: “It’s the state’s duty to defend its citizens
and its sovereignty. The government needs to draw up plans for that and
reject foreign diktats and pressure.”A Hezbollah supporter at the
funeral, Fatima Shehadeh, told the Associated Press that “no matter how
much blood is shed, we will never surrender, and we will never hand over
the weapons of the resistance.”Israeli drones flew overhead during the
funeral, Lebanese media reported, with footage showing the drones flying
low over the area.Tabatabai is the most senior Hezbollah commander to
be killed by Israel since a November 2024 ceasefire sought to end over a
year of hostilities between the two sides, sparked when the terror
group began firing rockets and drones at northern Israel a day after its
Palestinian ally Hamas invaded southern Israel on October 7,
2023.Tabatabai was considered second only to Secretary-General Naim
Qassem in Hezbollah’s command structure. He was killed in a targeted
airstrike in the southern suburbs of Lebanon’s capital, Beirut.Iran’s
Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps, Hezbollah’s main military and
financial backer, called for “revenge” in a statement.“The right of the
Axis of Resistance and Lebanese Hezbollah to avenge the blood of the
brave fighters of Islam is unquestionable,” it said, referring to Iran’s
regional network of terror proxies.In October 2024, Iran launched a
missile barrage at Israel to avenge the killing of longtime Hezbollah
leader Hassan Nasrallah and other senior members. However, Iran has
since been weakened by a 12-day war with Israel that saw nuclear sites
and numerous other targets bombed, and scientists and officials killed.A
source close to Hezbollah told AFP on condition of anonymity that there
were “two opinions within the group — those who wish to respond to the
assassination and those who want to refrain from doing so — but the
leadership tends to adopt the utmost forms of diplomacy at the present
stage.”Later Monday, Channel 12 cited unnamed security officials as
similarly saying Hezbollah leader Naim Qassem was at a crossroads over
how to respond.Sources close to Hezbollah reportedly said the
organization currently lacks the capability to launch a significant
response, though they warned that the next conflict with Israel was
“only a matter of time.”According to the report, Israel has told the
Lebanese government that it will continue efforts to weaken Hezbollah,
urging cooperation in eradicating the group from the south of the Litani
River and across Lebanon.While Israel remains on high alert in the
north, there has been no change in guidelines for Israeli residents.Also
on Monday, France’s foreign ministry expressed “deep concern” over the
assassination, saying that it “increases the risk of escalation in an
already highly tense situation.”“France calls on all sides to exercise
restraint,” the ministry continued in a statement. “It emphasizes the
importance of using the ceasefire monitoring mechanism, which is
designed for reporting threats. This framework, which all sides have
recognized, is essential for preventing unilateral actions and ensuring
the security of the civilian population in Lebanon and Israel, in
accordance with the ceasefire agreement of November 27, 2024.”Meanwhile,
IDF artillery strikes were reported in southern Lebanon. The
Hezbollah-affiliated Lebanese outlet Al-Akhbar reported that Israel
launched munitions at the area of Yaroun in southern Lebanon, causing
fires.There was no immediate comment from the IDF.Israel has been
escalating its strikes on Hezbollah in recent weeks, accusing the terror
group of violating the year-old ceasefire and increasingly attempting
to rebuild its capabilities, and expressing frustration at lagging
Lebanese efforts to disarm the group.Israel says that under the terms of
the ceasefire, it has the right to strike at Hezbollah threats.
Israeli
forces in Nablus kill Palestinian behind deadly car-ramming attack last
year-After killing two soldiers outside West Bank city in May 2024,
assailant handed himself in to the PA, which later freed him from
custody By Emanuel Fabian-24 November 2025, 11:29 pm
A
Palestinian assailant accused of being behind a deadly car-ramming
attack in May 2024 was killed by counterterrorism police in the West
Bank city of Nablus on Monday evening, the Israel Defense Forces, Shin
Bet, and Israel Police said.On May 29, 2024, Abdel-Raouf Shatyeh rammed
his vehicle into an Israeli army post just outside Nablus, killing two
soldiers: Staff Sgt. Eliya Hilel, and Staff Sgt. Diego Shvisha Harsaj,
both 20-year-old infantrymen in the Kfir Brigade’s Nahshon
Battalion.During a raid on Monday night, officers of the police’s elite
Yamam counter-terrorism unit closed in on a building in eastern Nablus
where Shatyeh was holed up.After it emerged that he was armed, the
troops opened fire on the building, and later, using a drone, identified
that he had been killed, police said.The IDF and Shin Bet said that
they had been working to track down Shatyeh since he fled the scene of
the attack in 2024.After the attack, Shatyeh fled to Nablus and
initially turned himself over to the Palestinian Authority’s security
forces. However, instead of being handed over to Israel, he was freed
from the PA’s custody, and he had been wanted ever since.In addition,
several “accomplices” who were working with Shatyeh were detained by IDF
soldiers in Nablus, the military added.Violence in the West Bank has
soared since the Hamas attack on Israel triggered the Gaza war in
October 2023.More than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the West
Bank by Israeli forces or settlers since the war started, according to
the PA health ministry. The IDF says the vast majority of them were
gunmen killed in exchanges of fire, rioters who clashed with troops or
terrorists carrying out attacks.During the same period, 63 others,
including Israeli security personnel, have been killed in terror attacks
in Israel and the West Bank. Another eight members of the security
forces were killed in clashes during raids in Palestinian cities in the
West Bank.The same period has also seen a major surge in attacks by
settler extremists on Palestinians across the West Bank.
Gaza
Humanitarian Foundation announces end of operations in Strip after 5
months-Head of controversial aid distributor says group aimed to produce
new approach for handing out aid, claims ceasefire oversight mechanism
to adopt model By Jacob Magid-24 November 2025, 7:59 pm
The
controversial Gaza Humanitarian Foundation (GHF) confirmed on Monday
that it has wrapped up its operations in the Strip after a rocky
five-month tenure distributing aid in the war-torn enclave.“From the
outset, GHF’s goal was to meet an urgent need, prove that a new approach
could succeed where others had failed, and ultimately hand off that
success to the broader international community. With the creation of the
Civil-Military Coordination Center (CMCC) and a rejuvenated engagement
of the international humanitarian community, GHF believes that moment
has now arrived,” GHF’s executive director, John Acree, said in a
statement.The Times of Israel revealed last month that GHF was
undergoing financial woes and was boxed out of humanitarian operations
in the Gaza Strip after the ceasefire took effect.Acree claimed that the
CMCC, the US, and the Israeli-led mechanism that monitors the ceasefire
will be adopting GHF’s model of humanitarian aid distribution, which
sought to prevent Hamas from diverting aid by handing it out at
militarized hubs separate from the civilian population.While technically
an American organization, Israeli officials and business leaders with
links to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government were closely
involved in the GHF’s establishment, according to sources familiar with
the matter.Israel has long accused Hamas of co-opting humanitarian
assistance and argued that the goal of GHF was to exclude the terror
group from aid distribution by setting up sites in areas cleared and
controlled by the Israel Defense Forces. Netanyahu said Israel’s goal
was for GHF to eventually become the sole provider of humanitarian aid
in Gaza, replacing the UN and other international agencies that
Jerusalem says Hamas exploits.But GHF’s rollout was marred by near-daily
reports of shootings by IDF troops at Palestinians seeking to reach the
aid distribution sites, with the UN saying that over 1,000 people were
killed in those incidents. The IDF has stated that the death tolls have
been inflated, that its troops only fired warning shots at those who
posed a threat to troops, and that Hamas operatives and other gunmen
were also opening fire at crowds of aid seekers.The deadly incidents
outside GHF sites began to decrease toward the end of the summer, and
the aid group has managed to distribute what it says were over 187
million meals to Gazans. There are some 2 million people in Gaza.But by
September, it was only distributing a small fraction of the aid entering
Gaza, and pledges by US Ambassador to Israel Mike Huckabee that GHF
would scale up its operations from three to 16 sites never
materialized.Aid organizations and much of the international community
opposed GHF, criticizing it for requiring Gazans to walk long distances
in order to pick up boxes of dry food products that needed to be
prepared elsewhere in the Strip, where cooking fuel and equipment have
been scarce. But GHF’s defenders argued that the group played an
important role when the UN and other aid organizations were plagued by
corruption and constant looting.Israel has increased the amount of aid
entering Gaza since the ceasefire, with an average of over 800 trucks
entering the Strip every day, according to officers at the CMCC last
week.However, food is being distributed by aid agencies under the
original UN-backed model.There are almost daily attempts by Hamas to
commandeer some of the aid, according to CMCC staffers, but the number
of incidents is declining
ToI in Gaza'Either they surrender or
we'll kill them'IDF vows to hunt down dozens of Hamas fighters still
holed up in Rafah-Gunmen believed to be short on supplies after being
trapped for months under what is now Israeli side of Yellow Line; IDF
says it destroyed hundreds of meters of tunnels in area By Emanuel
Fabian 24 November 2025, 5:00 pm
RAFAH, Gaza Strip — Dozens of
Hamas operatives remain trapped in an area of the southern Gaza Strip
that is under Israeli control, military commanders told reporters on
Sunday, vowing that they would hunt them all down.“Our main mission is
to destroy or capture the enemy in Rafah,” Col. Adi Gonen, the commander
of the Golani Brigade, said in the southern Gaza city’s Jenina
neighborhood.The Hamas operatives trapped on the Israeli side of the
so-called “Yellow Line” — separating Gaza in accordance with the October
ceasefire agreement — are believed by the military to have been there
since the collapse of a previous truce in the Strip earlier this
year.Since the start of the latest ceasefire, the United States has been
pressuring Israel to allow the gunmen safe passage back to Hamas-held
areas of Gaza.The operatives are not all located in a single tunnel, but
rather split up among several in the Jenina neighborhood, according to
IDF assessments. The military believes that they are being led by a
Hamas battalion commander and several company commanders in the terror
group.The IDF does not know exactly how many gunmen remain in the area.
Some early assessments put that number at 200, but now the military
believes that number to be far lower, saying dozens of the operatives
likely died in the tunnels following Israeli strikes on them.On Monday,
the military reported that in the past week, combat engineers had
destroyed hundreds of meters of tunnels in the area, and the Israeli Air
Force struck over 60 targets — including 15 tunnel shafts and some 40
buildings used by terror groups.Those who have survived after months of
holding out in the tunnels — likely several dozen — are thought by the
IDF to be running out of supplies and starving.At times, the Hamas
gunmen have tried to sneak up above ground to search for food, such as
bags of flour that had fallen off aid trucks, or supplies left behind by
the army.Recently, military officials said that the operatives have
been increasingly trying to flee back to Hamas-held areas of the Strip.A
week ago, IDF troops spotted and shot dead four operatives who emerged
from a tunnel in the area. In an incident over the weekend, 17 gunmen
emerged from tunnels at two locations in the Jenina area, and were
either killed or captured.“Our main mission is to continue to try to
locate them in the area. Most of them are underground. Some of them try
to come out of the ground. We are working day and night with different
techniques to locate them,” Gonen said.“It’s simple, either they
surrender or we’ll kill them,” the commander vowed.
IDF on alert
as Hezbollah weighs response to military chief’s killing-No change in
Home Front guidelines to public as Air Force bolsters defense systems in
north against possible rocket fire; IDF holds snap drill to test
readiness for surprise attack By Emanuel Fabian-24 November 2025, 12:35
pm
In the wake of the killing of Hezbollah’s military chief in
Beirut on Sunday, the Israel Defense Forces geared up for a potential
response by the Iran-backed group, though there was no change in the
guidelines for civilians.The Israeli Air Force bolstered air defenses in
the north for possible rocket fire by Hezbollah from Lebanon, and has
also raised its level of alert, military sources said Monday.However,
the military had no specific information indicating that Hezbollah was
planning a rocket barrage.The Home Front Command, meanwhile, did not
issue any changes to its guidelines for civilians.Haytham Ali Tabatabai
was the most senior Hezbollah commander to be killed by Israel since a
ceasefire in November 2024 that sought to end more than a year of
hostilities that began with cross-border attacks by the terror group,
including rocket fire at communities.Tabatabai was considered second
only to Secretary-General Naim Qassem in Hezbollah’s command structure.
He was killed in a targeted airstrike in the southern suburbs of
Lebanon’s capital, Beirut.Iran on Monday slammed Israel over the killing
of Tabatabai.“The Iranian foreign ministry strongly condemns the
cowardly assassination of the great commander of the Lebanese Islamic
Resistance, the martyr Haytham Ali Tabatabai,” the foreign ministry said
in a statement.The killing “constitutes a flagrant violation of the
November 2024 US-brokered ceasefire and a brutal breach of Lebanon’s
national sovereignty,” it said.Hezbollah rocket fire at the north of the
country, which began the day after the Hamas-led invasion of southern
Israel on October 7, 2023, forced the evacuation of 60,000 residents and
caused widespread damage to some communities. The escalation in the
north led to all-out war in September 2024, in which Israel decimated
Hezbollah’s leadership and arsenal.Israel has been escalating its
strikes on Hezbollah in recent weeks, accusing the terror group of
violating the year-old ceasefire and increasingly attempting to rebuild
its capabilities, and expressing frustration at lagging Lebanese efforts
to disarm the group.An unnamed Israeli security source told the
Saudi-based Al-Hadath outlet that with just a few days of warfare,
Hezbollah could be significantly weakened for many years. The source
said that the Lebanese government is not going to deal with disarming
Hezbollah, as it has committed to do, and that Israel will not sit back
and wait. The source stressed that if Israel does not act against
Hezbollah by the end of the year, the terror group could launch a
surprise attack on the country.Israel says that under the terms of the
ceasefire, it has the right to strike at Hezbollah threats.Meanwhile
Monday, IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Eyal Zamir announced a snap drill
aimed at testing the military’s readiness for various scenarios,
starting with sudden developments on the northern border.The IDF said
the drill will last several days and will “assess and improve the IDF’s
readiness for a range of scenarios.”The drill opened with an inspection
of the 210th “Bashan” Regional Division — responsible for the border
with Syria in the Golan Heights and the Mount Dov area on the border
with Lebanon — to examine their readiness for an unexpected incident,
the military said.Zamir visited the 210th Division on Monday morning,
according to the IDF. In addition to inspecting the drill, the military
said Zamir was updated on the army’s preparations on the Lebanon border,
and he instructed troops to increase their level of alert following the
killing of Tabatabai.The military said situation assessments and
decision-making processes would be checked at all levels as part of the
drill, along with the activation of troops and the management of forces
on the battlefield.The IDF warned that there may be sounds of explosions
and an increased presence of military forces and aircraft in the Golan
Heights during the drill.The exercise was pre-planned, according to the
IDF, apparently indicating that it was not due to a change in
circumstances after the slaying of Tabatabai the day before.
As
pope heads to Turkey, Christian community still battling inequality,
exclusion-Christians struggle to achieve representation under Erdogan’s
Islamic-rooted government, with many civil service positions closed to
them despite no legal ban on non-Muslims By Burcin Gercek 24 November
2025, 10:11 am
ANKARA, Turkey (AFP) — Despite some progress in
restoring their rights, Christians in Turkey are still struggling
against inequality and a sense of exclusion as Pope Leo XIV visits the
country this week.“In Turkey, 99 percent of the population is Muslim,”
President Recep Tayyip Erdogan often likes to say of his officially
secular Muslim-majority nation of 86 million people.“Every time he says
that I feel excluded because he always fails to mention the non-Muslim
minorities,” said Yuhanna Aktas, president of the Assyrian Union, which
represents Assyrian Christians in southeastern Turkey.“We are not seen
as full citizens.”Historians say there are around 100,000 Christians in
Turkey today, compared to nearly four million at the start of the 20th
century, with the numbers falling significantly due to forced exile or
massacres as the Ottoman Empire crumbled and modern Turkey emerged.When
Pope Leo visits, he will meet with local Christian leaders at Istanbul’s
Assyrian Orthodox Mor Ephrem church, which was inaugurated just two
years ago.Although the land was granted by the state, it is the only new
church built in Turkey since it became a republic in 1923.Christian
minorities have also struggled to achieve representation, with many
civil service positions closed to them despite no legal ban on
non-Muslim minorities holding office.“The only non-Muslim senior
official in Turkey today is a local administrator from the Armenian
community,” said Yetvart Danzikyan, editor-in-chief of the Armenian
weekly Agos.“This lone example sums up the civil rights situation.”‘The
enemies inside’For decades after Turkey became a republic, Christians
and Jews were regularly described by certain government officials and
media outlets as “the enemies inside” and were targeted by
discrimination and violence — even into the early 2000s.And the word
“Armenian” is still sometimes used as an insult.In its 2024 report on
Turkey, the London-based Minority Rights Group (MRG) said “non-Muslims
were constantly discriminated against because the promoters of Turkish
nationalism considered them incapable of becoming Turks due to their
religious identity.”Laki Vingas, founder of a Greek community support
group called Rumvader, said the government had been attempting to
address that.“For 20 years, both the state and ourselves have been
striving to fix the injustices of the past. This process is not yet
complete, but at least we have no difficulty meeting with the
authorities,” he told AFP.At the same time, certain unnerving events
have left the community on edge, such as the growing shift towards
conservative nationalism under Erdogan’s Islamic-rooted government,
Danzikyan said.Violence-There has been violence: Armenian journalist
Hrant Dink was shot dead in Istanbul in 2007, and four years later, a
young Armenian was murdered while doing his military service.In 2020,
Armenians faced threats during the Nagorno-Karabakh war, and in 2024,
two gunmen burst into a Catholic church in Istanbul, killing one person
and injuring another.Another unsettling development was the
controversial decision to convert Istanbul’s iconic 4th-century Hagia
Sophia basilica from museum to mosque in 2020, said Danzikyan.“At the
same time, there’s talk about reopening the Greek Orthodox seminary,” he
said of an Istanbul theological college closed in 1971, depriving the
church of its only facility for training clergy in Turkey.Blocked for
years, the matter was raised by Ecumenical Patriarch Bartholomew at the
White House in September, with US President Donald Trump pledging his
help, raising hopes it could soon be reopened.Observers also say society
has progressively opened up over the past 20 years, with Turkish civil
society more willing to commemorate the Armenian genocide — a term
firmly rejected by Ankara — despite a ban on such gatherings in public
spaces.“More and more people are asking questions instead of holding
onto their prejudices,” Vingas said, hailing the emergence of “a much
more open society, mainly in Istanbul,” where most of Turkey’s
Christians live.
Analysis-After weeks of warnings over slow
Hezbollah disarmament, Israel shows it’s ready to escalate-Backed by the
US, the IDF put firepower behind its threats with Sunday’s hit on the
senior terrorist; Hezbollah is unlikely to retaliate, but also won’t be
giving up its weapons By Lazar Berman-24 November 2025, 9:58 am
Israel’s
dramatic strike on Hezbollah’s chief of staff Haytham Ali Tabatabai in
Beirut on Sunday should not come as a particular surprise.The
assassination came after a series of warnings from Jerusalem and
Washington that the Israel Defense Forces would intensify its air
campaign if Lebanon did not move much more quickly to disarm the Shiite
terrorist group.Earlier this month, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu
warned publicly that Israel would do whatever was necessary to keep
Hezbollah from rearming, after the terror group was battered by the
Jewish state last year.“We expect the Lebanese government to uphold its
commitments, namely, to disarm Hezbollah. But it’s clear that we’ll
exercise our right to self-defense as stipulated in the ceasefire
terms,” said the premier. “We won’t let Lebanon become a renewed front
against us, and we’ll do what’s necessary.”A senior IDF official
recently told Channel 12 news that stepped-up airstrikes in recent weeks
were a “preview” of what Lebanon would face if it did not enhance its
disarmament campaign.“If the Lebanese army does not disarm Hezbollah and
fails to meet the demands of the ceasefire,” said the officer. “Israel,
with US backing, will attack Hezbollah targets across Lebanon,
including in Beirut.”On Sunday, Israel appeared to make good on those
threats, killing Hezbollah’s second-in-command Tabatabai and
dramatically escalating already building tensions, apparently with
Washington’s blessing.While there are significant gaps between Israel
and the US on Gaza, on Lebanon there seems to be consensus between the
allies. They both recognize that the deterrent effects of Hezbollah’s
military defeat last year are starting to wear off, and that if another
war is to be avoided, both Lebanon’s government and Hezbollah need to
take the possibility of a significant Israeli military operation
seriously.A senior American official told Channel 12 Sunday that the US
is “pleased with the elimination of the number two in Hezbollah.”“We
think it’s a wonderful thing. Yalla, mazal tov, mabruk,” said the
official.According to the IDF, after the end of the fighting in November
2024, Tabatabai was officially appointed as the military chief of staff
in the terror group.“He led Hezbollah’s renewed efforts to rearm,”
charged Netanyahu on Sunday.“Israel will not allow Hezbollah to rebuild
its power,” he stressed. “I expect the Government of Lebanon to fulfill
its commitment to disarm Hezbollah.”Not quite disarmed-Israel has been
striking Hezbollah targets since the November 2024 ceasefire, in an
attempt to stop imminent threats and to further degrade the group’s
weapons stocks.Under the terms of the 2024 ceasefire deal, which
followed fighting that broke out on October 8, 2023, and escalated into
all-out war a year later, Hezbollah was required to vacate southern
Lebanon and be replaced by the Lebanese military.“Lebanon’s official
military and security forces, infrastructure, and weaponry will be the
only armed groups, arms, and related materiel deployed in the southern
Litani area,” reads the ceasefire agreement.Israel also received a “side
letter” of guarantees from the US, in which Washington affirmed and
detailed Israel’s right to defend itself against renewed
threats.Lebanon’s pro-Western president, Joseph Aoun, has been
challenged with finding a way to disarm Hezbollah without pushing the
powerful Iranian proxy too hard and sparking a civil war.On Friday, Aoun
said that a state monopoly on weapons was inevitable, and urged a
committee supervising the ceasefire between Israel and Hezbollah to
ensure Lebanon’s army was the only armed presence in the country’s
south.In August, his government instructed the army to come up with a
plan to eradicate weapons outside state control by year’s end. In
September, LAF Commander Rodolphe Haykal presented a five-stage plan to
disarm Hezbollah, starting with a three-month effort south of the Litani
River, the part of the country along the Israeli frontier.It is not
that the army hasn’t been working on that mission. It has successfully
removed nearly 10,000 rockets, almost 400 missiles, and over 205,000
unexploded ordnance fragments during the past year. according to the US
Central Command.Lebanon’s army has blown up so many Hezbollah arms
caches that it has run out of explosives, sources recently told
Reuters.But the campaign is not likely to solve the problem of Hezbollah
arms. The LAF has operated only south of the Litani, and it is
questionable whether the campaign will get to the subsequent stages
further north, where Hezbollah’s strategic weapons are stored.Hezbollah
sent a letter this month to Aoun, Prime Minister Nawaf Salaf, and
Speaker of the Parliament Nabih Berri decrying potential negotiations
with Israel and arguing that disarmament north of the Litani “was
neither stipulated in the ceasefire declaration, nor can ever be
accepted or imposed.”Even in the south, it is unclear what exactly the
army has destroyed, as it does not publish images or detailed reports of
its operations.Hezbollah itself says it will not disarm.
Secretary-General Naim Qassem has accused the Aoun government of
“serving the Israeli project” and issued not especially subtle threats
about a civil war, a potent threat for a country still recovering from
its last internecine conflict.Not only is Hezbollah refusing to give up
its current stocks, it also seems to be energetically restocking its
supplies.Hezbollah is “rebuilding its armaments and battered ranks,”
including replenishing its rocket, antitank missile, and artillery
supply, The Wall Street Journal reported recently.Will Hezbollah answer?
The question now is whether the elimination of Tabatabai means that
Israel is at the start of a significant escalation in Lebanon.Much
depends on how Hezbollah reacts. It has been surprisingly passive in the
face of a year of Israeli strikes, losing over 300 fighters after the
ceasefire was signed. Nor did Hezbollah respond to Israel’s devastating
strikes on Iran’s nuclear and missile programs in June.Based on the
group’s tepid response Sunday — that it would “coordinate” a response
with the Lebanese government — it doesn’t appear that Hezbollah has
decided that now is the time to change its calculus.But at some point,
the need to save face will likely force the Shiite militia to react in
some way.Israel may still expand its campaign and initiate a broad wave
of airstrikes if it doesn’t see any change in the Lebanese government’s
behavior. It doesn’t face a deterrent threat from Iran or Gaza, and
appears to have enough legitimacy in the eyes of US President Donald
Trump.The planned visit of Pope Leo XIV to Lebanon a week from now is
likely the only major factor holding Israel back.A bombing campaign that
causes civilian suffering ahead of the pontiff’s visit would represent a
public relations disaster for Israel in the West.It could also
undermine support for Israel in Trump’s circles, which include a
significant number of conservative Catholics in his second term.But even
the pontiff cannot stop the bombast now emanating from
Jerusalem.“Israel is determined to act to achieve its goals, in any
place and at any time,” said Netanyahu on Sunday.“We will continue to
act forcefully to prevent any threat to the residents of the north and
the State of Israel,” Defense Minister Israel Katz said following the
strike. “Whoever raises a hand against Israel — that hand will be cut
off.”He and Netanyahu, Katz added, are “determined to continue the
policy of maximum enforcement in Lebanon and everywhere else.”Emanuel

Venezuela says US terrorist designation a 'ridiculous lie'.
Caracas,
Nov 25 (AFP) Nov 25, 2025-Venezuela on Monday rejected the US terrorist
designation of an alleged drug cartel on its territory as a "ridiculous
lie" aimed at paving the way for an "illegitimate" military
intervention.A major US military build-up near Venezuela has led to
speculation that President Donald Trump is planning to try to topple
Venezuela' Socialist leader Nicolas Maduro.Washington accuses Maduro of
heading an alleged Venezuelan drug cartel, "Cartel de los Soles" (Cartel
of the Suns), which the United States on Monday designated a foreign
terrorist organization (FTO).Venezuela's foreign ministry on Monday
rejected what it called "the new and ridiculous lie from Secretary of
State Marco Rubio" which it said aimed "to justify an illegitimate and
illegal intervention against Venezuela."On Tuesday, the top US military
officer, Dan Caine, will visit the small Caribbean nation of Trinidad
and Tobago, a US ally situated a few miles from Venezuela that recently
hosted US troops for training exercises.The US embassy said that the
visit by the chairman of the joint chiefs of staff would focus on
"countering illicit trafficking and transnational criminal
organizations."The visit is part of a months-long campaign of maximum
pressure on Maduro, whose reelection last year was widely dismissed by
the international community as fraudulent.Maduro appeared at two public
events on Monday without mentioning the designation, instead reiterating
that Venezuela will remain triumphant."Whatever they do, wherever they
do it, however they do it, they will not be able to defeat Venezuela. We
are invincible," Maduro said during his weekly television program.The
US has deployed the world's largest aircraft carrier and other military
forces to waters near Venezuela as part of a stated campaign to
dismantle Latin American drug trafficking routes.The Trump
administration claims that the Cartel of the Suns is a drug trafficking
syndicate run by Maduro and has issued a $50 million reward for the
president's capture.But Venezuela and countries that support it insist
no such organization even exists.Several Venezuela experts say what
Washington calls the Cartel of the Suns refers to the corruption of
senior officials by criminal gangs.- Flights cancelled -US forces have
killed at least 83 people in strikes on boats accused of ferrying drugs
from Latin America towards the United States since September, according
to an AFP tally of publicly released figures.No evidence has been made
public that drugs were on board, and experts say the strikes are likely
illegal even if the targets were proven to be drug traffickers.The
terrorism designation will give Washington legal cover for more pressure
on the Venezuelan authorities.The Trump administration has been vague
about how far it is willing to go in Venezuela, but the huge military
build-up and regular killings of people in small boats have rattled
nerves -- and prompted concerns in Washington that the US military may
be breaking the law.On Saturday, six airlines announced they were
canceling flights to Venezuela due to safety concerns.The US Federal
Aviation Administration on Friday urged civilian aircraft in Venezuelan
airspace to "exercise caution" due to the "worsening security situation
and heightened military activity in or around Venezuela."burs-cb/jgc/sla
Chinese humanoid robot's three-day walk sets world record.
Shanghai,
Nov 24 (AFP) Nov 24, 2025-A Chinese robot has stepped into the Guinness
World Records after completing a three-day, 100-kilometre trek, the
longest reported distance ever walked by a humanoid machine.The
169-centimetre (five foot six inch) AgiBot A2 set off from the eastern
Chinese city of Suzhou on the evening of November 10, traversing
highways and city streets before arriving at Shanghai's historic
waterfront Bund area on November 13, according to Guinness World
Records.Shanghai-based robot maker AgiBot said its two-legged ambler
"navigated varied surfaces... all while adhering to traffic regulations"
during its continuous 106.286-kilometre (66-mile) journey, which was
certified as the first feat of its kind on Thursday.Video clips
published by AgiBot showed the silver-and-black A2 trudging along a road
past cyclists and scooters, before picking up its pace and marching
down the Bund in front of the Shanghai skyline.The world's tech firms
are pouring massive sums into physical AI, with Morgan Stanley
predicting that the world could have more than a billion humanoid robots
by 2050.The Chinese government has encouraged domestic firms to develop
humanoids, in the hopes of leading the global robotics industry.Beijing
hosted the world's first-ever humanoid robot games in August, where
more than 500 "athletes" vied in disciplines ranging from basketball to
competitive cleaning.AgiBot says the A2 is designed for customer service
roles, and is equipped with a chat function and lip-reading
capabilities.
Ink-credible-Meter-long squid washes up on northern
Israeli beach-Rarely seen in Israel, the flying neon squid specimen
offers ‘a small glimpse of a wonderful world hidden from us,’ says
marine expert who spotted it half-buried in the sand By Sue
Surkes-Today, 1:21 am-NOV 24,25
A roughly meter-long (3.3 feet)
dead squid, half buried in the sand, caught the eye of a marine expert
Sunday as he walked along a northern Israeli beach.Bar Sternbach, who
coordinates marine projects at the Society for the Protection of Nature —
including its SeaWatch application — spotted what was later identified
as a specimen of flying neon squid at the Kfar Galim beach near
Haifa.Upon noticing something red in the sand, he approached and
identified tentacles. “I started digging around it, and couldn’t believe
what appeared in front of me — the largest squid I’ve ever seen. It was
about a meter long, lifeless, of course,” he told Channel 12.The
average length of a neon squid is closer to half a meter (1.6 feet).“As
someone who spends a lot of time on beaches and in the sea, it was
amazing to see it for the first time. I took a picture and reported it
on the SeaWatch app,” which gave a specific identification for the
squid, Sternbach said.“It’s hard for us to imagine the richness and
diversity of life in the sea, and here, walking on the beach, we got a
small glimpse of a wonderful world hidden from us,” he added.The species
Ommastrephes bartramii is common in most of the world’s seas and
oceans, but it is relatively rare in the Mediterranean.It swims quickly
and can shoot out of the water, like a flying fish, for reasons
biologists still do not fully understand. It lives for around a year.It
feeds on small fish, crustaceans, and even other squid, playing a
significant role in the ecological balance of open waters. Its main
predators — which it tries to confuse by shooting out ink — are larger
marine mammals, big fish, and sharks.The species migrates over vast
distances during the seasons, rising to shallow water layers at night to
hunt. It reproduces by releasing large balls of eggs. Shortly after
spawning, it dies.
EU pushing for Palestinians, ‘especially
Gazans,’ to be included at US-led Gaza ceasefire HQ – official By Nava
Freiberg-24 November 2025, 11:16 pm
The European Union is pushing
for the inclusion of Palestinian representatives – “especially Gazans” –
at the US-led Civil-Military Coordination Center in Kiryat Gat, where
dozens of nations are monitoring the Gaza ceasefire, a senior European
official tells The Times of Israel.According to the official, who has
direct knowledge of the issue, “The thing that’s missing from the CMCC
as far as the EU is concerned is that there’s no Gazans there, there’s
no Palestinians. So they’re talking about the future of Gaza without any
Palestinian input.”The official says that EU officials are currently
“trying to persuade the people at the CMCC who are implementing the
Trump plan to take account of Palestinian views,” by involving
Palestinians in the discussions about the future of the Strip under US
President Donald Trump’s 20-point peace plan.Asked if any specific
Palestinian candidates have been suggested as representatives, the
official says not yet, noting that the US and Middle Eastern mediating
countries “are still putting together candidates” for the committee of
Palestinian technocrats to be responsible for the postwar management of
Gaza under the peace plan.The New York Times reported last week that the
absence of formal Palestinian representation at the center has prompted
criticism among some diplomats and aid workers.
Based in US or Nigeria? Musk's X erupts over location feature.
Washington,
Nov 25 (AFP) Nov 25, 2025-Elon Musk's X erupted in uproar after the
rollout of a feature revealing an account's location, exposing what
users describe as global troll farms and influence operations on the
platform -- including in support of Donald Trump.X's head of product
Nikita Bier launched the feature over the weekend, allowing users "to
see the country or region where an account is based," in a bid to boost
transparency on a platform that tech experts say is rife with
disinformation."This is an important first step to securing the
integrity of the global town square," Bier wrote on X.The launch
triggered a wave of online sleuthing.Almost immediately, the platform
flooded with posts flagging dozens of right-wing internet personalities
-- promoters of Trump's "Make America Great Again" (MAGA) or "America
First" political slogans -- whose location data showed they were in
Nigeria, Bangladesh, or Eastern Europe.Influential pro-Trump accounts
that present themselves as US-based but actually operate overseas have
circulated 31 false claims over the past 15 months -- including
allegations of Democratic corruption -- according to a NewsGuard
analysis using the location feature.The feature also seemed to vindicate
researchers who warned during last year's US presidential election that
a network of MAGA accounts -- posing as "Trump-supporting independent
women" and using stolen photos of European models and influencers -- was
operating overseas."X's new account info showed many of these
'American' women were actually based in Thailand, with some tied to
Myanmar," Benjamin Strick, the London-based director of investigations
at the Centre for Information Resilience, told AFP."Before this change
we could show these profiles were fake, but we had almost no visibility
on where they were run from, and often had to rely on 'slip ups' posted
by the accounts, time posting patterns and irregularities in
language."Now we can see that many of the accounts in this specific
network are linked to Southeast Asia, which brings us closer to
understanding who might be behind them," Strick added.- 'Rough edges'
-Reflecting a hyperpolarized political climate, some right-wing
personalities also pointed fingers at left-wing users seemingly posting
from suspicious locations.X, however, cautioned that the location data
"may not be accurate and can change periodically."When users clicked on
an account's location, a pop up noted: "The country or region that an
account is based can be impacted by recent travel or temporary
relocation."Some users may also be connected via a VPN that can mask
their real location."There are a few rough edges that will be resolved
by Tuesday," Bier wrote after the feature's launch.Late Sunday, Bier
said an "upgrade" was upcoming that will ensure "accuracy will be nearly
99.99%"Some users criticized the launch, warning that it could expose
the locations of dissidents and protestors in autocratic states. Bier,
however, said that for users in countries "where speech has penalties,"
the feature includes privacy toggles that reveal only the region.Soon
after the launch, some apparent imposter accounts with vast followings
were suddenly taken down.One X handle posing as a fan account for Ivanka
Trump, the president's daughter, was suspended after users noted that
its location was listed as Nigeria.The account, which had amassed one
million followers, regularly posted pro-Trump content as well as
Islamophobic and anti-immigration messages.As tech platforms scale back
content moderation and reduce their reliance on human fact-checkers,
disinformation researchers warn of a growing threat from Russian and
Chinese actors seeking to sow political chaos in Western countries -- as
well as from overseas influencers driven by the prospect of monetary
gain.The new feature "shines a light on a fundamental problem with
social media today: paid actors are deliberately inflaming difficult
issues because controversy attracts attention," Amy Bruckman, a
professor at the Georgia Institute of Technology, told AFP."It's a
difficult situation, and I believe we need more trustworthy platforms
that don't allow people to behave badly."Last month, X laid off half of
its engineering team responsible for fighting influence operations,
spam, and illegal content on the platform, reflecting a push to replace
staff with artificial intelligence, The Information reported on Monday.X
did not respond to AFP's request for comment.burs-ac/jgc.
