Fire at commercial building in downtown L.A. lighting up sky

The University of Southern California’s president called recent controversies roiling the campus over the Israel-Hamas war “incredibly difficult for all of us.”

Yemen’s Houthi terrorists on Saturday claimed shooting down another of the U.S. military’s MQ-9 Reaper drones.

As some students protesting the Israel-Hamas war at U.S. college campuses vowed to keep their demonstrations going, some universities moved to shut down encampments.

Students in Paris inspired by Gaza solidarity encampments at campuses in the United States peacefully evacuated a campus building at a prestigious French university.

U.N. investigators are looking into allegations against staffers from the U.N. relief agency for Palestinians who Israel claims were involved in the Oct. 7 attack.

Hamas said Saturday that it was reviewing a new Israeli proposal for a cease-fire in Gaza, as Egypt intensified efforts to broker a deal to end the months-long war.

Protesters at universities across the country are demanding schools cut financial ties to Israel and divest from companies they say are enabling the conflict.

The protest, which prompted the university to move classes online, was inspired by pro-Palestinian protests on college campuses across the United States.

The U.S. has determined that an Israeli military unit committed gross human-rights abuses against Palestinians in the West Bank before the war in Gaza began.

The attack follows an uptick in assaults launched by the Houthis in recent days after a relative lull in their monthslong campaign over Israel’s war on Hamas in the Gaza Strip.
