SUMMARY: A dolphin entangled in fishing line in the Indian River Lagoon has been freed, according to Fox 35. The dolphin, first reported by Sean Beard in late March, was seen trapped in line around its tail. The Hub SeaWorld Research Institute conducted extensive searches in the lagoon but spotting the animal was challenging. In early May, a new sighting near the 520 Causeway confirmed it was the same dolphin, now free from the fishing line, identified by scars where the line had been. How the dolphin freed itself remains unclear, but it is now swimming well, no longer in distress, much to everyone’s relief.

A dolphin once tangled in fishing line in the Indian River Lagoon is now swimming free, according to wildlife experts, bringing a wave of relief to the community and researchers who had been searching for weeks.

SUMMARY: The South Florida noon weather forecast for May 28, 2025, shows beautiful, dry skies currently, with clear views in Deerfield Beach and downtown Miami.

Afternoon inland storms are expected around 2-5 p.m., mainly west of the coast, while mornings may see brief showers. Heat remains intense, with feels-like temperatures nearing 100-105°F.

SUMMARY: Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu announced the death of Mohammed Sinwar, allegedly the head of Hamas’ armed wing, in a recent strike in Gaza, though Hamas has not confirmed this. Sinwar, younger brother of Yahya Sinwar who was killed by Israel in October 2024, was among the last prominent Hamas leaders. As a key commander involved in planning militant operations, including the 2006 attack that led to the capture of Israeli soldier Gilad Schalit, Sinwar’s demise may hinder hostage release negotiations and ceasefire efforts. Netanyahu vowed to continue the campaign until hostages are freed and Hamas is defeated or disarmed.

SUMMARY: At least one Palestinian was killed and 48 wounded when gunfire broke out at a new aid distribution site near Rafah in Gaza, set up by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation under a U.S. and Israeli-backed system. Chaos erupted as crowds overran fences, though it remains unclear who fired the shots. The new aid system faces criticism from the UN and others for failing to meet Gaza’s needs and potentially enabling Israeli control of food supplies. Meanwhile, Israel continues its offensive against Hamas, following the October 7 attack, and recently struck Yemen’s Sanaa airport after missile attacks by Iran-backed Houthi rebels.
