Fragile Gaza ceasefire exposed by Israeli soldiers’ accounts at the yellow line

Associated Press interviews with Israeli reservists depict a seven-month ceasefire in Gaza as fragile and misleading, with soldiers reporting killings near the yellow line, unclear engagement rules, and orders that sometimes seem to push for continued combat. Some commanders publicly back the truce while privately wanting the war to continue, and the line’s precise location remains inconsistent. More than 900 Palestinians have been killed in Gaza since October, including many near the line, highlighting a volatile mix of confinement, control, and ongoing violence despite diplomatic talk of a ceasefire.

Lawmakers call for firing Hegseth after Pentagon links US to Iranian school attack

Sen. Chris Van Hollen and Sen. Elizabeth Warren urge the firing of Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth in the wake of reports that a US-aligned strike may have killed hundreds of Iranian schoolgirls, citing a Pentagon finding that the US was a highly likely culprit and arguing that Hegseth’s stance against civilian-harm safeguards and loosening of engagement rules helped shape a dangerous policy. Human rights groups condemn the attack as a possible war crime and call for independent investigation, as critics use the episode to attack the administration’s Iran strategy.

"Israeli Offensive in Gaza Escalates as War Goals Fade"

A grandfather in Gaza has described how Israeli soldiers entered the school where his family was sheltering and began shooting indiscriminately, killing nine people, including children. The Israeli military says it is looking into the incident, which raises further questions about Israel's rules of engagement in a conflict that has resulted in a high number of civilian deaths. The killing of three hostages escaping Hamas in Gaza has also sparked outrage and prompted an acknowledgement by Israeli officials that the soldiers involved did not follow designated rules of engagement.

"8 Rules for Successful Relationships: Insights from 50 Years of Couple Studies"

Psychology experts who have studied relationships for 50 years have identified eight rules of engagement that successful couples follow. These include being honest but not cruel, avoiding name-calling or shaming, assuming that both partners want to connect and improve the relationship, and using "I feel" statements instead of blaming each other. Couples who give each other space to express their opinions and ask questions about them, rather than insisting on their own opinions, are more likely to build successful relationships.
