Hundreds of thousands flee Israeli military's devastating assault on Gaza City

Gazans fleeHaving lost his eyesight in an Israeli airstrike, Ahmed Daif Allah spent part of the past week stumbling blindly toward an uncertain safety.

“The journey is incredibly tough, more than anyone could imagine,” Ahmed’s wife, Rafiq, told a local journalist who provided their footage to NBC News. “There is no pity, there is no humanity,” added Rafiq, who led her husband by the hand throughout their dayslong walk from Gaza City to the southern part of the enclave.

The couple is among the hundreds of thousands who have fled Gaza’s most populous area since Israel launched its new offensive on Tuesday, heeding Israeli leaflets and social media warnings to head south.

Avichay Adraee, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) Arabic-language spokesman, said Friday that its forces would continue to “operate with unprecedented force" against Hamas and other terrorist organizations in Gaza City and urged civilians to leave the famine-stricken area.

US blocks UN call for Gaza ceasefire for sixth time

US casts 6th vetoThe US has for the sixth time vetoed a draft resolution at the United Nations Security Council that would have demanded an immediate and permanent ceasefire in Gaza and the release of hostages.

US deputy Middle East envoy Morgan Ortagus said the text did not go far enough in condemning Hamas or recognise Israel's right to defend itself.

All 14 other members of the Security Council voted in favour of the draft resolution - which described the humanitarian situation in Gaza as "catastrophic" and called on Israel to lift all aid restrictions.

It comes as the UN's humanitarian office warns that the last lifelines for civilians are collapsing in Gaza City as Israel expands its military offensive.

On the global stage, Israel and its closest ally look increasingly isolated.

Speaking prior to the vote, Ortagus said Washington's opposition to the resolution should "come as no surprise".

"It fails to condemn Hamas or recognise Israel's right to defend itself, and it wrongly legitimises the false narratives benefitting Hamas, which have sadly found currency in this council," she said.

After the vote, UN members reacted swiftly to express their disappointment.

Trump to require $100K fee for H-1B visa application

H-1B visaPresident Trump signed a proclamation on Friday to raise the fee for H-1B visa applications to $100,000, setting up a new barrier for companies to hire foreign workers.

Trump signed the proclamation on Friday to add the payment on top of current visas under H-1B, which are typically paid by an employer.

“We need workers, we need great workers and this pretty much ensure that that’s going to happen,” Trump said.

Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick said that the new fee will prevent companies from training foreign workers and instead encourage them to hire Americans on a new front in the Trump administration’s crackdown on immigration.

“Stop bringing in people to take our jobs, that’s our policy here,” Lutnick said. “All of the big companies are on board. We’ve spoken to them about the gold card and this.”

Israel bombs Gaza City as US vetoes UN ceasefire resolution once more

US Veto at UNIsraeli tanks and jets pounded Gaza City, the target of a major ground offensive, on Thursday, September 18, prompting Palestinians to flee south, where the Israeli military announced the deaths of four soldiers. AFP journalists and witnesses saw a steady stream of Gazans heading south on foot, in vehicles and on donkey carts – their meagre belongings piled high.

There is artillery fire, air strikes, quadcopter and drone gunfire. The bombing never stops," said Aya Ahmed, 32, sheltering with 13 relatives in Gaza City. "The world doesn't understand what is happening. They (Israel) want us to evacuate south – but where will we live? There are no tents, no transport, no money."

Palestinians say the cost of a ride to the south has soared, in some cases topping $1,000. "The situation is indescribable – crowds everywhere, the sound of explosions, women and men crying and screaming as they walked while carrying their belongings," said Shadi Jawad, 47, describing his family's ordeal as they fled their home on Wednesday. "God, send a missile to take us out and relieve us," he said.

The offensive has sparked international outrage, with the territory already devastated by nearly two years of war and the Gaza City area gripped by a UN-declared famine. It comes ahead of a planned move by several Western countries, including France and Britain, to recognize a Palestinian state later this month at the UN. US President Donald Trump, currently on a visit to Britain, said Thursday he had a "disagreement" with British Prime Minister Keir Starmer over this.

Ukraine destroys giant radio telescope used by Russian military

Ukraine hits giant radio telescopeA giant radio telescope in Crimea used in the past to support missions to Mars and Venus and attempt to contact alien civilizations has been destroyed in a drone attack.

Ukrainian defense forces took down the 230-foot (70 meters) antenna dish to prevent Russian forces from using it to guide attacks on its territory. The RT-70 radio telescope has been under Russian control since the annexation of the Crimean peninsula in 2014. According to Defense Express, Russians carried out major upgrades to the 5,000 metric ton structure to use it for military communications.

In late August, footage emerged captured by a drone slamming into the 50-year-old radio telescope. The drone, according to Defense Express, aimed at the 200-kilowatt radio receiver at the heart of the telescope. The custom-made receiver produced in 2011 in Moscow during the last major upgrade of the telescope will be hard to replace, Defense Express said, meaning Russia will not likely be able to repair the antenna any time soon.
