Israel has long blamed Hamas for civilian and children deaths, arguing that the militant group uses innocent people as human shields.

A dozen other people were injured, some seriously, in the attack in the city of Sumy, which has come under increased bombardment since Ukraine’s offensive into Russia’s nearby Kursk region.

Nearly two-thirds of the U.N. General Assembly voted in favor of a nonbinding resolution calling for Israel to end its occupation within a year. The United States was among the opposition.

Three years after the military staged a coup, intensifying a civil war, civilians continue to pay the price, according to a coming United Nations report.

Moscow’s troops have retaken a few villages in a border area that Kyiv’s forces invaded last month and are also advancing steadily in eastern Ukraine.

Sanctions announced on Friday are an effort to undercut RT by making it difficult for the network to conduct global business in dollars.

Israel said the former school had become a haven for militants and released a list of men it said were Hamas fighters targeted in the attack.

The announcement provides U.S. support to permanent council seats for African nations, though not new veto powers. But the path to adding members requires far more than White House approval.

The sanctions against 16 government officials appointed by the authoritarian president of Venezuela were seen as unlikely to be effective by observers and analysts.

If confirmed, the attack would be the first on a commercial vessel in open waters since the 2022 invasion, and a sharp escalation of hostilities in the Black Sea.
