The Israeli army is weaponising Chinese-made drones to kill Palestinian civilians in the Gaza Strip, according to an investigation by the Israeli publications 972 Magazine and the Local Call. The drones are operated manually by soldiers on the ground to bomb civilians – including children – to force them out of their homes or prevent them from returning to areas where Palestinians have been expelled, the outlets reported on Sunday. The publications interviewed seven soldiers and officers to produce their findings, they said. The report was published as criticism of Israel's plan to set up an internment camp in southern Gaza is growing. Former Israeli Prime Ministers Yair Lapid and Ehud Olmert said it would amount to a "concentration camp" if Palestinians there are not allowed to leave. "The weaponisation of civilian drones to kill and dispossess Palestinians is the latest revelation of the cruelties normalised in Gaza and further evidence of how Israel is trying to forcibly transfer the population to the south of the Strip," Al Jazeera's Nour Odeh said, reporting from Amman, Jordan, because Israel has banned Al Jazeera from reporting from Israel and the occupied West Bank.

Although it is easy to be enthusiastic about the sea's ability to regulate climate and to produce both oxygen and delicious marine life that goes well with melted butter, it is also easy to recognize that the sea is an uncompromising bringer of death, a hotheaded bully who is perpetually ready to rumble. The other day in the Rockaways, on the shore at Beach Eighty-seventh Street, the ocean was exhibiting its pugilistic side: four-foot waves, strong undertow--perfect conditions for test-driving one of the city's new beach-patrol initiatives. For the past three years, New York City beaches have relied on drones to detect sharks and riptides, and now the gizmos are being used to drop flotation devices on swimmers in trouble. This summer, a stretch of the Rockaways will be patrolled by two all-terrain vehicles, each bearing a drone pilot as well as a rescue swimmer, who can assist lifeguards as needed. A correspondent who had volunteered to pose as a swimmer in distress cast a wary eye at the surf.

Russian drone attacks killed a 53-year-old Ukrainian man in Ukraine's Sumy region and left parts of the city of Sumy without power, the Kyiv Independent reported, citing local authorities. Ukraine's SBU intelligence service said it killed several Russian secret service agents during an operation to arrest them in the Kyiv region on Sunday. The SBU said it believed the agents were behind the killing of its colonel, Ivan Voronych, in Kyiv on Thursday. Russia's Ministry of Defence said its forces have captured the villages of Mykolaivka and Myrne in Ukraine's eastern Donetsk region. The United Nations's nuclear watchdog reported hearing hundreds of rounds of small arms fire late on Saturday at Ukraine's Zaporizhzhia nuclear power plant, which is occupied by Russian forces.

"What we're hearing is stories of horror and terror and weekly shelling, attacks on civilian infrastructure," Ms Vu told the BBC Newshour programme. "There are local volunteers - they are really struggling, risking their lives every day to try and provide a little bit of food for people who are mostly starving." Siddig Omar, a 65-year-old resident of el-Fasher, told the BBC the RSF entered the city on Friday from the south and south-west. The RSF, whose fighters have been mustering in trenches dug around the city, frequently attack el-Fasher. According to the army, this was their 220th offensive.

Russia fired more than 620 drones and long-range missiles overnight, killing at least six people in the latest wave of strikes, Ukraine said Saturday, adding that it was close to an agreement to receive more Patriot air-defense systems. "The Russians continue to use their specific tactics of terror against our country, striking concentrated blows at one city or another, at one region or another," Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy said in his evening address. Moscow has stepped up aerial strikes over recent months as U.S.-led ceasefire talks have stalled.

Lebanon's president says his country wants peace but not normalisation with Israel, as health authorities said an Israeli air strike killed one person in the south of the country. As well as causing one death on Friday, the drone attack on a car in Nabatieh district wounded five other people, according to Lebanon's Ministry of Health. It comes as Israel continues to launch regular strikes against sites in Lebanon, particularly in the south, despite a November 27 ceasefire agreement between it and the Lebanese armed group Hezbollah. Under the terms of the truce, Hezbollah had to retreat to the north of the Litani River, which is about 30km (20 miles) from the Israeli border, while Israel had to fully withdraw its troops, leaving only the Lebanese army and United Nations peacekeepers in the area. However, Israel still occupies five strategic locations in southern Lebanon.

Fox News senior strategic analyst Jack Keane joins'America's Newsroom' to discuss his analysis of Putin's goals involving Ukraine as President Donald Trump indicates his patience is running thin. President Donald Trump on Thursday night revealed a new NATO deal reached during last month's summit that would allow U.S. arms to flow to Ukraine through allied nations -- an agreement reached at last month's summit. "We're sending weapons to NATO, and NATO is paying for those weapons, 100%," Trump said in a phone interview with NBC News. "So what we're doing is the weapons that are going out are going to NATO, and then NATO is going to be giving those weapons [to Ukraine], and NATO is paying for those weapons. "We send weapons to NATO, and NATO is going to reimburse the full cost of those weapons," he added. President Donald Trump speaks during a media conference at the end of the NATO summit in The Hague, Netherlands, Wednesday, June 25, 2025. Trump did not detail which weapons were included in the sales or which countries were involved in the deal -- though his comments come as European leaders signal they were prepared to purchase U.S. arms for Ukraine. Earlier this month, after the Pentagon issued a pause on some previously pledged defensive aid slated for Kyiv, reports surfaced suggesting that Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy had begun looking for new ways to acquire the arms his nation desperately needed. On Thursday, German Chancellor Friedrich Merz also told the Ukraine Recovery Conference in Rome that Berlin is "prepared to purchase additional Patriot systems from the U.S. to make them available to Ukraine." Trump told reporters this week that he did not approve the Pentagon's aid halt, which apparently had been done over stockpile concerns, and defensive arms have reportedly resumed transfer to Ukraine. Dozens of people were injured during the Russian drone attack on Kharkiv on July 11, 2025. Trump has increasingly voiced his frustration with Russian President Vladimir Putin and his refusal to end his war in Ukraine as Russia's assault continues to escalate in intensity and frequency, including in a series of overnight strikes that killed nine and injured 42 others across Ukraine and hit a maternity hospital. Fortunately, there were no children among the victims. Even where it is just beginning," Zelenskyy said.

At night, Kyiv's skies are lit by fire and boom with explosions, but by morning the streets thrum in a style familiar to any European capital, its Gen Z teens on ride-share scooters speeding past impeccably dressed executives en route to work. One quote that captures the mood and has become popular on social media platforms in Ukraine says Kyiv looks like the famously glitzy Mediterranean city state Monaco by day, "and at night, like Afghanistan" during its war-torn years. The city of 3 million people has endured several consecutive weeks of escalating deadly Russian drone and missile attacks. But, determined to hold on to some normality, many of its residents are living their daily routines with verve.

The integration of emerging uncrewed aerial vehicles (UAVs) with artificial intelligence (AI) and ground-embedded robots (GERs) has transformed emergency rescue operations in unknown environments. However, the high computational demands often exceed a single UAV's capacity, making it difficult to continuously provide stable high-level services. To address this, this paper proposes a cooperation framework involving UAVs, GERs, and airships. The framework enables resource pooling through UAV-to-GER (U2G) and UAV-to-airship (U2A) links, offering computing services for offloaded tasks. Specifically, we formulate the multi-objective problem of task assignment and exploration as a dynamic long-term optimization problem aiming to minimize task completion time and energy use while ensuring stability. Using Lyapunov optimization, we transform it into a per-slot deterministic problem and propose HG-MADDPG, which combines the Hungarian algorithm with a GDM-based multi-agent deep deterministic policy gradient. Simulations demonstrate significant improvements in offloading efficiency, latency, and system stability over baselines.

National Review editor-in-chief Rich Lowry and FOX Business' Liz Claman join'MediaBuzz' to discuss Hegseth's heated press conference where he called out the media's'hatred' of President Donald Trump. FIRST ON FOX: Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has issued sweeping new orders to fast-track drone production and deployment, allowing commanders to procure and test them independently and requiring drone combat simulations across every branch of the military. As part of an aggressive push to outpace Russia and China in unmanned warfare, "the Department's bureaucratic gloves are coming off," Hegseth wrote. "Lethality will not be hindered by self-imposed restrictions... Our major risk is risk-avoidance." In a pair of memos first obtained by Fox News Digital, Hegseth rescinded legacy policies that he believes restricted innovation.
