A video of Myanmar's 7.7 magnitude earthquake provides the first direct visual evidence of pulse-like and curved fault slip, revealing new insights into earthquake mechanics and fault behavior, which could improve future seismic risk assessments.
Visual evidence reviewed by The Washington Post suggests that Hamas fighters took at least 64 captives into the Gaza Strip during the recent incursion into Israel, with the majority being civilians. Among the captives were 49 civilians, including nine children, and 11 members of the Israeli military. The actual number of hostages and prisoners is likely higher than what was seen in the videos and images reviewed. The issue of captive numbers is crucial as Israel prepares for a potential invasion, and Hamas has threatened to execute a hostage for every Israeli airstrike that targets Palestinians. The Israeli military continues to bomb sites across Gaza, causing significant casualties. The situation in Gaza is deteriorating rapidly, with reports of Hamas losing contact with some of its fighters holding captives and Gazan civilians taking hostages on their own.
A state trooper in Michigan was hospitalized after a traffic stop turned violent, with the suspect managing to get back into his vehicle and speed off while the trooper was attempting to take him into custody. The trooper hung onto the driver's side window for nearly a mile before breaking free. The trooper's body camera fell off during the confrontation, removing potential evidence. State police are asking residents to check their Ring cameras for footage and to report any police equipment found in the area. The search for the driver is ongoing.
