At least 41 people, including women and children, were killed when gunmen attacked a convoy of 200 passenger vehicles in Pakistan's Kurram district, near the Afghan border.

"Deadly Suicide Bombing Targets Pakistan Army Base Near Afghan Border"

A suicide truck bomb and gun attack on a Pakistani army base near the Afghan border killed at least seven soldiers and wounded many more, with militants linked to the banned Tehrik-e-Taliban Pakistan claiming responsibility. Pakistani Prime Minister Shehbaz Sharif condemned the raid as a "cowardly action of terrorists," and the military engaged and killed all assailants in an intense exchange of fire. The attack comes amid concerns over the presence of terrorist groups in Afghanistan, with Pakistani officials and recent United Nations reports disputing Taliban claims that they do not allow Afghan soil to be used by militant organizations.

"Hamas Acknowledges Faults in October 7 Attacks, Deems Them Necessary Step"

Hamas admitted to "some faults" in its October 7 attacks on southern Israel, calling the assault a "necessary step" against Israeli occupation. The group's first public report in English and Arabic justified the attack, which resulted in the deaths of about 1,140 people, mostly civilians. Israel retaliated with a deadly bombing campaign, killing at least 25,105 people in Gaza, according to the territory's health ministry. Hamas rejected Israeli accusations of atrocities during the attack and urged an immediate halt to Israeli aggression, rejecting international and Israeli efforts to decide Gaza's post-war future.

Israeli forces kill Palestinian gunmen responsible for British-Israeli deaths in West Bank.

Israeli forces have killed two Palestinian militants accused of shooting dead a British-Israeli woman and her two daughters in the occupied West Bank last month. A third militant who allegedly aided the pair was also killed during the raid in the city of Nablus. Several Palestinians were also injured in confrontations with the troops. The Palestinian militant group Hamas confirmed that the three men belonged to the group and were behind the attack that killed Lucy Dee and her daughters. The centre of Nablus has become a holdout for the militant group the Lion's Den, and has seen frequent raids by Israeli forces over the last year.
