Netanyahu Says Deadly Israeli Strike in Rafah Was the Result of a ‘Tragic Mistake’
SUMMARY: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu admitted a “tragic mistake” in an Israeli airstrike in Rafah, southern Gaza, which ignited a tent camp housing displaced Palestinians, killing at least 45 people. Initially, the military claimed a precise strike on a Hamas compound, killing two senior militants. Upon revealing civilian casualties, the military opened an investigation.

History, security to take center stage during Biden's visit to Austin
SUMMARY: President Joe Biden will return to Austin for his first public appearance since ending his reelection campaign, delivering a speech at the LBJ Presidential Library to mark 60 years since the Civil Rights Act. The event, initially delayed due to an assassination attempt on former President Donald Trump, will feature heightened security measures involving the Secret Service and local police. The visit parallels Lyndon Johnson's exit from the presidential race in 1968. Biden's endorsement of Kamala Harris as his successor is seen as a significant moment, reflecting the Democratic Party's unity. The event will be live-streamed by KXAN.
