Israel attacks northern Gaza again: at least 93 dead in the bombing of a residential building
At least 93 Palestinians, including 25 children, have been killed in an Israeli bombing of a residential building in the town of Beit Lahia, in the north of the Gaza Strip, where the Army has been maintaining an intense military siege for 24 days.
According to the health authorities of the enclave, “hundreds of displaced civilians” took refuge in the five-story building.
They have also denounced that the Israeli siege against the three main hospitals in northern Gaza now prevents dozens of injured people from being treated.
For their part, Palestinian media reported another air attack shortly after against the vicinity of the Kamal Adwan hospital, also in Beit Lahia, where some affected by the bombing had already arrived.
The Israeli army has not yet reported that attack.
The Israeli military siege in northern Gaza
The Palestinian news agency Wafa has assured that there are still dozens of people among the rubble of the building, and at least 20 seriously injured have so far arrived at the Kamal Adwan center.
“The (Israeli) occupation army knew that in this residential building there were dozens of displaced civilians, and that most of them were children and women,” criticized the Government of the Strip.
“The Civil Defense labor system has been completely dismantled by the Israeli aggression in northern Gaza, the arrest of its workers and the displacement of others,” denounced the spokesman for that emergency service, who warned that they do not stop receiving notices for this attack in Beit Lahia.
The videos released after the “massacre”, in terms used by the Palestinian authorities, show dozens of corpses wrapped in blankets located next to the tangle of debris of the attacked building.
For 24 days, Israel has maintained a military siege against northern Gaza, in which it combines an intense bombing campaign with a land raid, which has caused more than a thousand deaths.
Five dead and more than 20 injured in more Israeli attacks
At least five people died and more than twenty were injured on Tuesday in a couple of Israeli attacks against the Sahaba market in northern Gaza City, according to the official Palestinian news agency, Wafa.
The media, which cites local sources in the enclave (where Israel does not allow independent entry to the international press), said that there were two attacks launched by Israeli aircraft against the market, located in the Daraj neighborhood, in the east of the Gaza capital, and that the dead and wounded were transferred to several hospitals.
Gaza Civil Defense spokesman, Mahmud Basal, confirmed that at least 4 bodies and more than 80 injured arrived in less than an hour at the Arab hospital al Ahli in Gaza City after an attack on the Sahaba market and the Sudania neighborhood.
The news comes after Gaza’s health authorities raised the death toll to 43,061 in the last year.
This figure does not include the almost one hundred dead in the Israeli bombing of a residential building in the town of Beit Lahia.
So far on Tuesday, at least 109 people have died in the punished north of Gaza, according to Palestinian media, which cite health sources.

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.
