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.

SUMMARY: SpaceX successfully launched its ninth Starship flight, featuring a Super Heavy booster flying for the second time. After ignition of all 33 Raptor engines, the vehicle ascended, reaching max aerodynamic pressure and performing hot staging with six engines igniting on the Starship for continued ascent. The booster executed the first-ever directional flip for landing but was not recovered, intentionally sent for a high angle of attack re-entry test and engine experiments over the Gulf, ultimately ending in splashdown. Throughout, telemetry and chamber pressures remained nominal, and Starship’s six engines operated healthily during its suborbital trajectory, marking significant data collection and milestone achievements.

SpaceX launched its 403-foot Starship rocket Tuesday evening from its Starbase site in southern Texas in the ninth test of the massive vehicle. It reached space but failed key mission goals before breaking apart. A payload door failed, the booster disintegrated, and fuel issues caused the spacecraft to spin out before crashing into the Indian Ocean.
