Cuba claims the passengers, Cuban nationals in the US, planned an armed infiltration and opened fire first, while the boat owner says it was stolen. An 11th person was reportedly arrested; the US says no American government personnel were involved, and the incident adds to ongoing US-Cuba tensions.

Decoding Gaza's 70,000-Name Toll: Method, Controversy, and Human Cost

Haaretz investigates the Gaza Health Ministry's casualty list of roughly 68,844–72,073 deaths from violent deaths, showing it is widely used as an official count but remains controversial: it records only violent deaths, is compiled from hospital and family reports vetted by a judicial panel, and has undergone corrections (duplicates removed, IDs fixed) though skeptics warn errors persist and militants may be misclassified. The data reveal a high share of women and minors and fuel ongoing debates about civilian versus militant fatalities and potential war-crimes interpretations; even with flaws, the list stands as a stark record of Gaza's humanitarian toll.
