Four Al Jazeera journalists were killed in an Israeli strike near Gaza City’s Al-Shifa Hospital. The team—correspondents Anas al-Sharif and Mohammed Qreiqeh, and cameramen Ibrahim Zaher and Mohammed Noufal—were in a press tent when it was hit, according to BBC.

The Israeli military confirmed targeting al-Sharif, accusing him of ties to Hamas, while Al Jazeera condemned what it calls ongoing harassment of its reporters. Videos verified by the BBC show the immediate aftermath and the journalists’ bodies being carried away.

The Isarel Defense Forces (IDF) said it took precautions to avoid civilian harm. Since October 2023, 186 journalists have died amid the conflict, according to the Committee to Protect Journalists.

UN members have condemned Israel’s plan to seize Gaza City, warning it could breach international law and worsen the humanitarian crisis. UN officials cautioned the move would bring more displacement, deaths, and destruction, BBC reported.

Isareli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu defended the operation as the fastest way to defeat Hamas and free hostages, denying Israel is starving civilians. He announced measures to boost aid, including safe corridors, air drops, and expanded distribution via a controversial aid group.

The US backed Israel, saying the war could end if Hamas freed hostages, while protests in Israel warned the plan could put them at greater risk. Gaza’s health ministry reports 217 deaths from starvation and over 61,000 from the war since October 2023, according to BBC.

Eight people, including the mayor’s brother, were killed and three injured when gunmen opened fire outside a nightclub in Santa Lucia, Guayas province, on Sunday.

The attack comes amid a surge in gang violence, with President Daniel Noboa recently declaring a 60-day state of emergency in the region, Xinhua reported.

Iran’s cabinet has approved a proposal to remove four zeros from its national currency, the rial, government spokeswoman Fatemeh Mohajerani announced Sunday. The new unit will remain the rial, subdivided into 100 gherans, with both old and new denominations circulating for a transition period, according to Xinhua.

The plan, aimed at simplifying financial transactions, would make one new rial equal to 10,000 of the current rials. It still requires approval from parliament and the Constitutional Council. The rial has sharply depreciated since the US withdrew from the 2015 nuclear deal and reimposed sanctions in 2018.
