Dramatic security footage of the IDF’s strike on Hamas leader Mahmoud Sinwar was published on Wednesday. The footage reveals the intensity of the massive explosion that shook the area, and people being violently thrown into the air by the force of the blast. About 40 bunker-busting bombs, totaling around one ton in explosives, were used in the attack, reports said. The IDF carried out further strikes on the site on Wednesday in order to prevent Hamas forces from reaching the scene. Sinwar’s death has not been confirmed, but senior Israeli defense officials believe that he was killed in the strike. If he was indeed killed, it could possibly lead to a breakthrough in hostage negotiations as Sinwar is considered a key obstacle in the process.

Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said Tuesday that he will be waiting for his Russian counterpart, Vladimir Putin, in the Turkish capital this week to conduct face-to-face talks about the more than 3-year war, amid heavy pressure from the U.S. and European leaders to reach a settlement. Putin hasn’t yet said whether he will be at the talks, which U.S. President Donald Trump has urged the two sides to attend as part of Washington’s efforts to stop the fighting. Zelenskyy told reporters in Kyiv that he will be in Ankara on Thursday to conduct the negotiations. He will meet with Turkish President Recep Tayyip Erdogan and the two will wait for Putin to arrive, he said.

Republicans in Congress are moving with rapid speed to advance President Donald Trump’s big bill of tax breaks, spending cuts and beefed-up border security funding as leaders work to enact many of his campaign promises. House committees have been laboring for months to draft the legislation, which Republicans have labeled “THE ONE, BIG, BEAUTIFUL BILL,’’ a nod to Trump himself. Speaker Mike Johnson is pushing to approve the package and send it to the Senate by Memorial Day.

While overseas in Saudi Arabia, President Donald Trump addressed concerns over a massive gift from Qatar—a $400 million Boeing 747—clarifying that the aircraft will be transferred to the Department of Defense rather than for his personal use.
The offer from Qatar’s ruling family involved a luxury jumbo jet, intended as a temporary replacement for Air Force One, given the delays in production of newer models.
Responding to accusations that the gift might violate legal boundaries, the White House reiterated that any such donations from foreign governments undergo strict legal scrutiny and are only accepted in accordance with all applicable laws.

U.S. health regulators announced an effort Tuesday to phase out ingestible fluoride supplements sometimes used to strengthen children’s teeth, opening a new front in Health Secretary Robert F. Kennedy Jr.’s effort against a mainstay of dental care. The Food and Drug Administration said it will conduct a scientific review of the children’s products by late October with the aim of removing them from the market. Formally withdrawing medical products requires a lengthy rulemaking process that can take years. Instead, the FDA will ask manufacturers to voluntarily pull their products, according to an administration official.

Texas confirmed eight more measles cases over the span of four days, continuing a short streak of shrinking increases in a state that has been dealing with a large outbreak for nearly four months. The U.S. surpassed 1,000 measles cases Friday, and Texas still accounts for the vast majority of cases in an outbreak that also spread measles to New Mexico, Oklahoma and Kansas.Two unvaccinated elementary school-aged children died from measles-related illnesses in the epicenter in West Texas, and an adult in New Mexico who was not vaccinated died of a measles-related illness. Other states with active outbreaks — which the CDC defines as three or more related cases — include Indiana, Michigan, Montana, North Dakota, Ohio, Pennsylvania and Tennessee.
