SUMMARY: The U.N. World Food Program (WFP) accused Israel of using tanks, snipers, and gunfire against Palestinians seeking food aid in northern Gaza, resulting in at least 80 deaths—one of the deadliest aid-related incidents in over 21 months of conflict. The Gaza Health Ministry, citing over 58,800 Palestinian deaths since the war began October 2023, blamed Israel for the violence, while Israel denied the death toll and claimed it fired warning shots at an immediate threat. Ceasefire talks between Israel and Hamas continue without progress. Meanwhile, Israeli strikes also targeted Yemen’s Hodeidah port, accusing Iran-backed Houthis of supporting Palestinian militants.

SUMMARY: South Florida is experiencing a hot weekend with temperatures in the upper 80s to low 90s, and heat index values reaching around 104-105°F, just below heat advisory criteria. Showers and storms are increasing inland, giving some relief from the heat, but the east coast remains mostly dry with warm conditions. Rain chances will peak midweek due to a low-pressure system moving over the peninsula, then decrease by week’s end as dust and dry air move in, causing haze and lower rain chances. An area in the tropics has low development potential but is unlikely to affect the region significantly.

CBS News Miami’s NEXT Weather Meteorologist Dave Warren says to expect storms to increase this week to bring some relief to the heat in South Florida.
