US issues warning to Hamas as cease-fire under strain
Tensions rise in Gaza as U.S. warns Hamas amid renewed violence, threatening fragile cease-fire and peace efforts.
Tensions rise in Gaza as U.S. warns Hamas amid renewed violence, threatening fragile cease-fire and peace efforts.
Tensions in Gaza are once again escalating, with the United States warning Hamas over planned attacks against Palestinians that could violate the fragile cease-fire agreement. The warning comes amid reports of renewed violence near Israeli troop positions, fuelling concerns that peace efforts are on the brink of collapse.
Israel has continued to target militants close to its forces, even as global mediators push for restraint. The ongoing hostilities are further complicated by Hamas’s delayed handover of hostages’ bodies — a move that has drawn international criticism and increased pressure on the cease-fire deal.
In response, Israel has tightened humanitarian aid access and restricted the opening of the Rafah crossing into Gaza, while negotiations continue to address the long-term governance and security of post-war Gaza.

An Afghan national, Rahmanullah Lakanwal, has been arrested after allegedly shooting two National Guard members in Washington, D.C. Authorities say Lakanwal previously worked with CIA-backed military units in Afghanistan before coming to the United States.
The victims, Sarah Beckstrom and Andrew Wolfe, remain in critical condition. Officials warn that if either victim dies, the charges could escalate to first-degree murder as the investigation intensifies.
The FBI is now examining the case as a potential act of terrorism, while the Department of Homeland Security has announced a review of all asylum cases approved under the Biden administration.

Hong Kong arrests construction bosses after deadly fire kills 83; 279 still missing as investigation intensifies.
Hong Kong has been shaken by the arrest of construction company bosses following the city’s most devastating fire in almost 80 years, which claimed at least 83 lives. The blaze erupted at the Wang Fuk Court housing complex in Tai Po, where renovation work was underway.
Authorities report that more than 4,600 residents lived in the high-rise blocks, with most victims found within two of the towers. Shockingly, 279 people remain unaccounted for nearly 24 hours after the fire first broke out.
The Hong Kong government has announced a HK$300 million emergency fund to support survivors and affected residents. Meanwhile, police are deepening their investigation, seizing documents and equipment from the company’s headquarters.
