Israel's Cabinet approved a plan to seize more land in Gaza and move Palestinians to a designated zone with food and supplies provided by U.S. security contractors using facial recognition screening.

The aid proposal would be a major shift in Israel's war against Hamas in Gaza, which the United Nations rejects as inhumane. The plan would shutter hundreds of soup kitchens and aid centers across the territory, restricting food supply to an Israeli military-guarded area in southern Gaza.

One of Pope Francis’s former popemobiles is being repurposed as a mobile health clinic for children in Gaza, fulfilling one of his final wishes, the Vatican’s official media outlet announced on Sunday.

The vehicle, which the late pontiff used during his 2014 visit to the Holy Land, is now being outfitted with emergency medical equipment and diagnostic tools to support young patients in the besieged enclave, where hospitals and clinics have been decimated by Israel’s ongoing assault.

Before his death last month, Pope Francis entrusted the project to Caritas Jerusalem, according to Vatican News.

“This is a concrete, life-saving intervention at a time when the health system in Gaza has almost completely collapsed,” said Peter Brune, Secretary General of Caritas Sweden, which is helping implement the initiative.

TVNL Comment: Pope Francis was truly a man of his God. This gift will save lives, while so much of the world allows a genocide to reach its final conclusion.

Last year was the deadliest for Russian forces since the start of the full-scale war in Ukraine: at least 45,287 people were killed.

This is almost three times more than in the first year of the invasion and significantly exceeds the losses of 2023, when the longest and deadliest battle of the war was taking place in Bakhmut.

At the start of the war, losses happened in waves during battles for key locations, but 2024 saw a month-on-month increase in the death toll as the front line slowly edged forward, enabling us to establish that Russia lost at least 27 lives for every kilometre of Ukrainian territory captured.

The BBC Russian Service, in collaboration with independent media outlet Mediazona and a team of volunteers, has processed open source data from Russian cemeteries, military memorials and obituaries.

So far, we have identified the names of 106,745 Russian soldiers killed during the full-scale invasion of Ukraine.

A missile launched by the Houthi rebels in Yemen struck near the main terminal of Israel’s airport close to Tel Aviv, reports detailed Sunday morning.

The strike, which was not intercepted by the Israeli military, temporarily paused flights, but there were no immediate reports of fatalities, The New York Times reported.

The Israel Defense Force (IDF) shared online that sirens sounded across the region “due to a projectile launch from Yemen.” The IDF is investigating the failure to intercept the strike.

The military said several attempts were made to intercept the Houthis’ missile, but the missile struck near the Ben-Gurion International Airport, the Times reported.

Israeli media reported that there were eight injured in the missile strike.

Mexican President Claudia Sheinbaum said on May 3 that President Donald Trump had proposed sending American troops to Mexico to combat drug trafficking, but said she had rejected that offer because "sovereignty is not for sale."

Sheinbaum's comments were in response to questions about a Wall Street Journal report published on May 2 that said Trump was pressuring Mexico to allow deeper U.S. military involvement against drug cartels to combat trafficking across the shared border.
