⚔️ Israeli Air Strike in Gaza City Kills Senior Hamas Commander

An Israeli air strike in Gaza City killed a senior Hamas military commander on Tuesday, officials on both sides said. Israel's government said the man, Izz al-Din Al-Beik, was involved in planning attacks and recruiting fighters. Hamas confirmed his death and described him as a leader of the October 7, 2023 attack. Medics said the strike hit a building in the Nasr neighbourhood. The war in the enclave began after that 2023 attack.

🌍 US Troops Complete Withdrawal From Baghdad Base

US Army soldiers have fully withdrawn from their base in Baghdad, Al Jazeera reported. The move ends a military presence in the Iraqi capital that lasted about two decades.

⚔️ UN Alarmed by Reports of Deadly Air Strike in Myanmar

The United Nations said it was alarmed by reports that an air strike in Myanmar killed about fifty people. A UN statement said the number of casualties was expected to rise.

🌍 US Supreme Court Allows Deportations to Third Countries, For Now

The US Supreme Court ruled on Tuesday that the Trump administration may continue sending migrants to countries other than their own. The decision is temporary while lower courts examine the case.

Rights groups say people could be sent to places where their safety is not certain.

🌍 China Updates Mobilization Rules Amid Taiwan Tensions

Nikkei Asia reported that China has strengthened its legal framework for national mobilization. The rules describe how people, industry and transport could be organised during an emergency.

No immediate change in the situation across the strait has been announced.

📱 Trump and Tech Leaders Sign Voluntary AI Document

President Donald Trump and leaders of major American technology companies signed a document on artificial intelligence that they called morally binding. The agreement is voluntary, which means it does not carry legal punishment. It is designed to answer growing public concern about the risks of fast-moving AI systems. Supporters say industry rules can be introduced faster than laws. Critics argue that voluntary promises are difficult to check and enforce.

📱 Trump Rejects Calls to Work With China on AI Safety

Speaking on Tuesday, Trump said he does not want to work with China on artificial intelligence safety. He argued that cooperation could reduce the American lead in the technology. Whoever wins superintelligence wins, he said, adding that there would be a winner and a loser. The comments came after reported progress at a summit with Chinese President Xi Jinping. Chinese officials have previously called for global rules on AI.

🏥 WHO Says Yemen's Health System Is at Breaking Point

🌍 Report Alleges Serious Abuses by Forces in Mali

Amnesty International published a report saying it found evidence of serious crimes by Mali's armed forces and Wagner group personnel.

🏥 One in Eight Cancers Worldwide Linked to Infections

The search may restart if conditions improve, authorities said.

💰 Europe Enters Winter With Low Gas Stores

Governments say they are looking for new suppliers and asking households to save energy.

🌍 North Korea Opens New Bridges to China and Russia

North Korea has completed two new road bridges connecting it with China and Russia. The crossings are expected to make trade and transport easier with its two large neighbours.
