Israel's justification for Gaza hospital attack false, Reuters probe finds
Israel's justification for bombing a Khan Younis hospital in southern Gaza, claiming it targeted a Hamas camera, is false, according to an investigation by the news agency Reuters. Israeli forces planned the August 25 attack on Nasser Hospital using drone footage that, a military official said, showed a Hamas camera that was the target of the strike. But a Reuters review of visual evidence and interviews with witnesses established that the camera in question actually belonged to the news agency and had long been used by one of its own journalists. Their deaths bring the number of journalists killed in Israeli attacks on Gaza to more than 200 since the genocidal war began nearly two years ago. A day after the hospital strike, the army said troops had fired on a "suspicious" camera draped in cloth, claiming it was operated by Hamas.

Denmark reports new drone sightings overnight at military sites
Can Ukraine restore its pre-war borders? Is Russia testing NATO with aerial incursions in Europe? Unidentified drones have flown over Denmark's military sites, including its biggest base, the latest in a slew of incursions near airports and critical infrastructure this week, which officials have called a "hybrid attack" and hinted at possible Russian involvement. "The Danish Defence can confirm that drones were observed at several of the Danish Defence's locations last night. Several capabilities were deployed," an army spokesperson said on Saturday, without specifying where the drones were observed.
The LA Fires Spewed Out Toxic Nanoparticles. He Made It His Mission to Trace Them
The LA Fires Spewed Out Toxic Nanoparticles. Nicholas Spada is one of the only scientists in the world using a nuclear x-ray process to study deadly nanoparticles in wildfire smoke. What he's uncovered in California is a nightmare. Nicholas Spada was used to fielding urgent requests when wildfire smoke blanketed cities. Winter was supposed to be the quiet period when wildfires die down and researchers like Spada perform instrument maintenance, write grant proposals and go home for dinner. Instead, 2025's so-called offseason ignited January 7, when the Santa Ana winds came howling through Los Angeles, bringing gusts upwards of 100 miles per hour, after more than eight months without meaningful rainfall. By nightfall, thousands of homes in Los Angeles' swanky Pacific Palisades neighborhood and the Altadena community north of the city were gone. The next morning, Spada was fielding call after call at the University of California, Davis, from fellow air researchers at universities across the country who were packing instruments and other gear and heading for Los Angeles, many on their own dime. They would be studying urban fires--not normal wildfires or even urban-wildland interface fires--but urban fires in which most of the fuel was manmade: lawn chemicals, asbestos insulation, lead paint, lithium batteries. They asked Spada which instruments to bring, what measurements to take, where to set up downwind and when he would be there. The calls quickly morphed into a WhatsApp group that's still going strong, as results continue to roll in sporadically all these months later. Spada, a trim, energetic man with a close-trimmed beard and reddish hair, is a project scientist at UC Davis' Air Quality Research Center. He is one of only a handful of scientists in the world proficient at using a nuclear method for detecting toxic substances in air particles to understand their impact on human health and the environment.
Drones seen over Danish military bases in latest air disruption
Drones have been seen near military facilities including Denmark's largest, following a series of incidents that caused air disruption earlier this week. The devices were observed above Karup airbase, among others, forcing it to briefly close its airspace to commercial traffic. Possible sightings were also reported in Germany, Norway and Lithuania. It is the latest in a string of suspicious drone activity in Denmark, raising concerns about the nation's vulnerability to aerial attack and sparking fears of potential Russian involvement. Danish authorities said Thursday's incursions appeared to be a hybrid attack, but cautioned that they had no evidence to suggest Moscow was behind it.
