Israel's Counterproductive Bombing Campaign in Gaza

Israel's intense bombing campaign in Gaza, which has resulted in the deaths of thousands of civilians and the displacement of millions, is failing to achieve its objectives. The indiscriminate bombing has not weakened Hamas or convinced Gaza's residents to stop supporting the group. History has shown that large-scale bombing campaigns rarely achieve their goals, and Israel would have been better off pursuing surgical strikes against Hamas leaders instead. To achieve lasting security, Israel should adopt a viable alternative strategy, such as taking meaningful steps towards a two-state solution, which would drive a political wedge between Hamas and the Palestinians.

"Escalating Israeli Offensive in Southern Gaza Sparks Humanitarian Crisis"

Israeli ground forces have launched a ground operation in southern Gaza, following three days of heavy bombardment. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed that they are expanding the ground incursion across all of Gaza, engaging in face-to-face battles with terrorists. The IDF has issued evacuation orders for several districts of Khan Younis, where Hamas leaders are believed to be hiding. The UN has described a "degree of panic" in a Gaza hospital, and the Hamas-run health ministry reports that over 500 people have been killed since the bombing resumed. The situation in Gaza is described as "beyond catastrophic," with hundreds of thousands of people displaced and lacking basic resources.

Unabomber Ted Kaczynski dies in prison at 81.

Ted Kaczynski, the Harvard-trained math professor who became known as the "Unabomber" for his deadly bombing campaign, has died at the age of 81. Kaczynski had been serving eight life sentences after pleading guilty in 1998 for sending mail bombs that killed three people and wounded 23 others from 1978 to 1995. He was found unresponsive in his cell at the Federal Medical Center in Butner, North Carolina, and was transported to a local hospital where he was pronounced dead. Kaczynski's family claimed his writings reflected the mind of a paranoid schizophrenic, and a federal prison psychiatrist agreed, leading to a plea bargain that saved him from the death penalty.
