Three Israelis killed in a Palestinian attack in the northern West Bank
Three Israelis were killed on Monday in a Palestinian attack by shooting a bus, confirmed the Israeli emergency service Magen David Adom (MDA), in the area of Al Funduk, a Palestinian village in the northern West Bank occupied surrounded by settlements of settlers.
The fatalities, declared dead at the scene, are two women of about 60 years old and a man of about 40 years old, while 7 other people have been injured, including the bus driver, a 63-year-old man, in serious condition; and a woman of about 60, in moderate condition, MDA said.
The Israeli army is looking for the perpetrators
The Israeli army indicated that its troops are looking for the perpetrators of this “terrorist attack” and that they have installed roadblocks in the vicinity of the scene of the attack and surrounded several villages.
“After the initial report, the terrorists opened fire on a civilian bus and other vehicles adjacent to Al Funduk,” the Army said about this attack that took place near the settlement of Kedumim.
Two Palestinians perpetrated the attack and fled the scene.
“We will reach the abominable murderers and bring to justice those who helped them. No one will go unpunished,” Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said in a message, who sent condolences to the families of the victims and wished the injured a speedy recovery.
The Minister of Defense, Israel Katz, threatened to “make a very high price pay those who follow the path of Hamas in Gaza and encourage the murder of Jews in Judea and Samaria (biblical term of the West Bank)”.
“A sad and painful morning. Three pure souls killed by despicable terrorists in a brutal attack. (…) The security forces will take care of the damned murderers,” said Israeli President Isaac Herzog.
At least 48 dead from Israeli attacks
At least 48 Palestinians have died in the Gaza Strip in the last 24 hours from Israeli attacks, bringing the total number of fatalities in fifteen months of war to 45,854, including almost 18,000 children, according to data from the Ministry of Health of the enclave.
The injured since October 7, 2023, when the war began after the Hamas attack in Israel that left about 1,200 dead and 251 kidnapped, are 109,139, after adding the 75 that arrived at Gaza hospitals on the last day.
In addition, the Ministry controlled by Hamas figures at 11,000 missing under the rubble who have not yet been rescued.
Palestinian medical sources confirmed that they had received six deaths in the hospitals of Jan Yunis, in the southern Strip, as a result of bombings in the nearby city of Rafah, including two children attacked by a quadcopter drone.

Thirteen cuban military members missing after explosion at arms warehouse
Thirteen members of the Cuban Revolutionary Armed Forces (FAR) have been reported “missing” following an explosion at an arms and ammunition warehouse in the eastern part of the island, the military institution announced.
“As a result of the explosions at an arms and ammunition warehouse in the Melones community… in the province of Holguín, 730 km east of Havana,” two officers, two non-commissioned officers, and nine soldiers are reported as “missing,” according to a statement from the Ministry of the Armed Forces released by Cuban state television.
The statement specified that “investigations are still ongoing at the site,” which led to the evacuation of more than 1,200 residents from areas near the warehouse of a military unit where “aged ammunition was being classified.”
Neither the official press nor Cuban state television have provided images of the explosions at the military unit, but independent media outlets published photos online showing a massive column of smoke and police officers deployed in the streets of the Melones community.

Trump considers declaring National Economic Emergency to justify universal tariffs
U.S. President-elect Donald Trump may be considering declaring a national economic emergency in order to justify implementing a package of universal tariffs on both allied and adversary countries, according to CNN.
The proclamation of these measures would grant the incoming U.S. president the freedom to create a new tariff program using the International Emergency Economic Powers Act (IEEPA).
This move would give the president the authority to manage imports during a national emergency.
According to the report, Trump has a penchant for this law as it provides broad jurisdiction on how tariffs are implemented without strict requirements to prove they are necessary for national security reasons.

Venezuelan opposition candidate Enrique Márquez detained ahead of Maduro’s inauguration
Enrique Márquez, a minority opposition candidate in Venezuela’s July 28 elections, was “arbitrarily detained,” denounced a political coalition he is part of and his wife, who described the action as “kidnapping.”
Since Tuesday night, there has been a wave of reports of detentions, with at least a dozen arrests just over 48 hours before President Nicolás Maduro’s inauguration for a third six-year term, following a controversial reelection.
“We inform that yesterday, 07.01.25, Enrique Márquez was arbitrarily detained,” stated the Popular Democratic Front (FDP).
“He was kidnapped by paramilitary groups who, using force as their law, aim to silence and intimidate those of us who want a better country and have a different vision,” said his wife, Sonia Lugo de Márquez, on the leader’s X account.
