Middle East crisis live: Israel continues attacks on Gaza despite global outcry over the killing of six journalists

Spread the love

Medical officials report at least 34 people were killed on Monday, with more than 15 people killed waiting for aid

Israel has stepped up bombing in Gaza despite global outcry over the killing of six journalists in the territory on Sunday night.

Israeli forces killed at least 55 people across the Gaza Strip over Sunday night and into Monday, including a well-known journalist Israel said was a Hamas militant, as well as people seeking humanitarian aid, according to local health officials.

Hospital officials reported at least 34 people were killed on Monday, not including the six journalists who were slain in a tent shortly before midnight.

More than 15 people were killed while waiting for aid at the Zikim crossing in northern Gaza, said Fares Awad, head of the ambulance services in northern Gaza.

Israel’s military did not immediately respond to questions about the deaths. Earlier on Monday, it said air and artillery units were operating in northern Gaza and in Khan Younis, where resident Noha Abu Shamala told AP that two drone strikes killed a family of seven in their apartment.

Palestinians reported the heaviest bombardments in weeks on Monday in areas east of Gaza City, just hours after Israeli prime minister Benjamin Netanyahu said he expected to complete a new expanded offensive in the territory “fairly quickly”.

The EU condemned the killing of five Al Jazeera journalists in an Israeli airstrike outside Al Shifa hospital in Gaza city, including Al Jazeera correspondent Anas Al Sharif. “We take note of the Israeli allegation that the group was Hamas terrorists, but there is a need in these cases to provide clear evidence, in the respect of rule of law, to avoid targeting of journalists,” foreign policy chief Kaja Kallas said in a statement on X. The EU joins the UN, Reporters Without Borders, the Foreign Press Association and a host of other organisations in denouncing the attack.

Gazans gathered on Monday for the funeral of the five Al Jazeera staff members and a sixth reporter killed in an Israeli strike. Dozens stood amid bombed-out buildings in the courtyard of Al-Shifa hospital to pay their respects to Anas al-Sharif, a prominent Al Jazeera correspondent aged 28, and four of his colleagues, killed on Sunday.

Video footage appears to show the moment a Palestinian activist was killed as an Israeli settler fired toward him during a confrontation with unarmed Palestinians in the occupied West Bank last month. The video released Sunday by B’Tselem, an Israeli human rights group, shows Israeli settler Yinon Levi firing a gun toward the person filming. The footage cuts but the camera keeps rolling as the person moans in pain.

Keke Palmer says moms shouldn’t feel guilty for working ‘in this economy’

  • Keke Palmer doesn’t think that working moms should feel mom guilt — especially not in this economy.
  • “But the reality is, if you got to work, you got to work,” she said.
  • She also said working moms shouldn’t feel guilty accepting help with childcare “because it takes a village.”

Keke Palmer has no time for mom guilt — especially not in this economy.

In an interview with Parents published on Wednesday, the actor spoke about the realities of being a single working mom. Palmer has one son, Leodis “Leo” Andrellton Jackson, with her ex-boyfriend, Darius Jackson.

“Don’t feel guilt,” Palmer said. “Your child is your child because you were meant to be their parent. And as a working parent, it could be really, really hard because you’re wondering like, ‘Damn, is this good for me and my child?’ But the reality is, if you got to work, you got to work.”

The Emmy award-winning actor also said that mothers shouldn’t feel guilty about receiving help from others when it comes to caring for their child “because it takes a village.”

“I think that’s important, and especially in this economy where everybody’s got to go to work,” she said.

In addition to acting, Palmer has hosted the NBC game show “Password” since 2022 and leads her own podcast, “Baby, This is Keke.” In June, she also released her latest album, “Just Keke.”

Even with a packed schedule, Palmer says motherhood gives her the perspective she needs to keep going.

“I think a lot of times you can feel like you got to do this, or you got to do that,” Palmer said, adding that it can be especially challenging in the industry she works in. “But when you have a child that needs you, it’s easier for you to prioritize what is best for your sense of self.”

Palmer isn’t the only celebrity mom who has spoken about mom guilt and the struggles of juggling work and parenting.

In August 2024, Blake Lively said she feels guilty whenever she has to choose between work and family commitments.

“When you’re working, sometimes you feel guilty for, you know, not being in your personal life in those hours you’re at work,” Lively said. “And then when you’re at work, you feel guilty by being distracted by wishing that you were at your personal life.”

In May, Michelle Williams said that balancing her career and motherhood is like figuring out “which master you’re going to serve.”

“Because the truth is, if work is going well, somebody else is taking care of the kids. And if you’re in a high point with your kids, the work is shoved to the side,” Williams said.

A representative for Palmer did not immediately respond to a request for comment sent by Business Insider outside regular hours.

RIP, AOL dial-up: Take a walk down memory lane to 5 other now-defunct tech icons that defined millennials’ youths

Spread the love

AOL will no longer offer dial-up internet after September 30.

  • AOL is sunsetting its dial-up internet service after more than 30 years.
  • After September 30, users will no longer be able to use the service.
  • We took a nostalgic walk down memory lane to revisit other defunct pieces of tech.

It’s an indelible sound for those above a certain age: a sequence of beeps, dial tones, static, droning, and screeching. Dial-up internet: the sound of going online.

After September 30, there will be one fewer dial-up internet option. AOL’s dial-up internet, after 30 years, is going the way of EarthLink and ceasing operation.

Even without AOL, at least three providers are still available — Juno, NetZero, and DSL Extreme.

AOL dial-up joins a list of other defunct technological wonders from the ’90s and early ’00s. Let’s walk down memory lane to visit these once ubiquitous pieces of tech.

AIM

Another AOL relic, AOL Instant Messenger, was sunset in 2017.

Launched in 1997, AIM was a social lifeline in the US, allowing instant messaging between friends.

It was also known for its iconic notification sounds, like the sound of opening and closing doors when friends came online or went offline.

However, competition from players like Facebook and the rise of SMS and WhatsApp started picking up in the 2010s, squeezing AIM.

Like all good things, the service saw its end in December 2017.

The BlackBerry and BBM
Man holds up a silver Blackberry phone
Mumbai, INDIA: Vice President (Asia Pacific) with designing firm Research In Motion (RIM) Norm Lo, displays the Qwerty Blackberry smartphone at a product launch in Mumbai 22 June 2007. The BlackBerry Curve smartphone incorporates all multimedia functions, a spell checker and enhanced voice communication. The Blackberry curve is set to be available from Airtel and Hutch by next week in India.

Owning a BlackBerry phone was like having a mini computer in your pocket before touchscreen phones were a thing.

BlackBerry’s smartphones, including the brand’s iconic 5810, were a hit device in the early 2000s. The phone, made by the Canadian company of the same name, had a full keyboard, could access and write emails, browse the web, and had its own messaging service called BlackBerry Messenger.

BBM was an instant messaging platform for all BlackBerry devices that was ahead of its time. It used unique PINs for each device instead of relying on phone numbers or emails.

It was the designated “It Girl” phone of its era — seen in the hands of Kim Kardashian and Lady Gaga.

However, BlackBerry discontinued its software in 2022, as competition from players like Apple grew stronger. It also stopped manufacturing its devices in 2016.

Netflix DVDs

Netflix is now known as one of the biggest streaming giants in the world, with over 300 million subscribers.

The company has humble origins as a DVD rental service. Launched in 1997, Netflix started offering movies for rent in 1998, mailing out bright red envelopes containing movie DVDs to households in the US.

As its streaming service gained traction, it phased out its DVD rental service. Its final discs were shipped out on September 29, 2023.

“After an incredible 25 year run, we’ve decided to wind down DVD.com later this year,” Netflix’s co-CEO Ted Sarandos said in a blog post in April 2023.

“Our goal has always been to provide the best service for our members but as the business continues to shrink that’s going to become increasingly difficult,” he added.

Internet Explorer

Internet Explorer was a web browser created by Microsoft in 1995. It became so popular that it became essentially synonymous with the internet. However, it soon faced fierce competition from other browsers like Google Chrome and Mozilla Firefox.

Internet Explorer was retired in June 2022, when Microsoft said in a blog post that support for the browser had ended. The company recommended that users switch to Microsoft Edge, a browser launched in 2020.

Skype walked so Zoom could run.

Skype launched in 2003, starting as a service that allowed users to make free voice calls over the internet.

By the 2010s — after Microsoft acquired it — Skype had become the go-to platform for making free voice and video calls while offering messaging and file sharing services.

Competition from players like WhatsApp, Zoom, FaceTime, and others grew stronger during the COVID-19 pandemic. Microsoft itself switched gears to focus on Microsoft Teams for enterprise use.

Skype was finally put to sleep in May.
