Palestinians on Sunday held a mass funeral for 100 people, including 62 children, whose remains were recovered from the rubble of buildings destroyed in Israeli strikes in Gaza City.
The bodies, recovered from the al-Zeitoun neighbourhood, included 55 members of the Malaka family who were killed in an Israeli air strike in November 2023, according to Gaza’s civil defence.
The remaining victims belonged to the Irahem, Qanbour, Balawi and Dahdouh families.

‘Governments continue to fail’: Freedom Flotilla sails again, vowing to challenge Israel’s Gaza blockade
The Freedom Flotilla Coalition (FFC) has announced a new international effort to break Israel's blockade of Gaza, with ships sailing between European ports before a planned attempt to reach the besieged Palestinian territory in October.
The FFC said its latest mission would go ahead despite the violence and torture meted out to flotilla volunteers on previous attempts, including severe beatings, repeated tasering and sexual assault.
The coalition also accused Israel of blocking the entry of food, medicine and fuel into Gaza, saying the humanitarian situation required renewed international action.
“The Freedom Flotilla sails again because our governments continue to fail to uphold their obligations,” said Zohar Chamberlain Regev, a FFC steering committee member.
Putin Orders Three-Day Halt to Kyiv Strikes Amid US Envoy Visit
Russian President Vladimir Putin has ordered the Russian military to halt strikes on the Ukrainian capital of Kyiv for a period of three days beginning at midnight on Saturday, Sept. 5, Kremlin spokesman Dmitry Peskov announced.
The order coincides with the arrival of US special envoys Steve Witkoff and Jared Kushner in Moscow on Saturday for diplomatic discussions regarding the war in Ukraine.
The American delegation landed at Moscow’s Vnukovo Airport aboard a business jet, where they were met by Russian special representative Kirill Dmitriev, according to Russian media reports.
Peskov’s statement follows earlier remarks by Kyrylo Budanov, head of the Office of the President of Ukraine, who speculated that Moscow would likely refrain from targeting Kyiv during the American negotiators’ stay in the region.
Captain calamity: Pete Hegseth under fire for ‘inept’ leadership of US military
In a different Washington, under a different president, a return to the well-worn playbook of all-out sanctions to counter Iran might have been the signal for a publicity-hungry US secretary of defense to adopt a lower profile.
But these are no ordinary times. And Pete Hegseth is no ordinary defense secretary.
Barely a week after the treasury secretary, Scott Bessent, unleashed a supposed “economic D-day” aimed at crushing the regime in Tehran under the weight of commercial pressures, Hegseth once again returned to the limelight – and the center of controversy.
The former Fox News host usurped Bessent from center stage as the conflict with Iran reverted to open warfare and discontent at the Pentagon was laid bare once more.
Turf wars within Hegseth’s own fiefdom resurfaced with the resignation of the army secretary, fresh revelations of blocked promotions and leaked disclosures of resistance from military top brass of extended deployments to the Middle East.

As his mother, Debbie Chadrix, told it, Carlisle’s path to his unique place among what she called the Claus family began at the 2023 holiday party of the Down Syndrome Association of Atlanta (DSAA). Chadrix said the organization’s executive director approached her during the gathering and remarked: “We need a Santa with Down syndrome who looks like the kids” who had been invited to the party as the guests of honor.
U.S. strikes Iranian oil tankers in retaliation for missile attacks on Navy ships
The U.S. military on Saturday said it struck three Iranian oil tankers after Navy ships were targeted by missiles.
U.S. Central Command said it struck the vessels after Iran's Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) launched two ballistic missiles at two Navy warships patrolling the sea. CENTCOM said a U.S. aircraft carrier and missile destroyer "successfully evaded multiple unprovoked Iranian attacks" and that no American personnel were injured.
"Let the message to the IRGC be clear: If you shoot at two of our ships, we will impose an even higher economic cost —taking out three of yours," CENTCOM Commander Adm. Brad Cooper said in a statement posted on social media. "We will not hesitate to defend American forces, and if necessary, destroy Iran's limited and exposed oil fleet."
Judge reinforces order halting immediate work on Trump’s 250-foot arch
A federal judge ordered the Trump administration on Friday, Sept. 4, to provide 48 hours’ notice before moving forward with work on the site of a planned 250-foot arch near Arlington National Cemetery.
U.S. District Judge Tanya Chutkan ruled that the administration must inform the court “before engaging in any activity on Memorial Circle other than on-site information gathering” to identify underground cultural artifacts.
Chutkan reinforced her order a day after Secretary of the Interior Doug Burgum announced plans on Sept. 3 to break ground at the site of the arch in the coming days.
“We are preparing to start, over the next two-week period, the excavation work necessary for the Great Triumphal Arch and Military Observation Deck, at Memorial Circle on Columbia Island between the Lincoln Memorial and Arlington National Cemetery,” Burgum wrote on X. “This will be one of the Great Pieces of American Architecture, honoring the history and significance of Arlington Cemetery and befitting the most powerful Capital in the World.”
