Palestinian families grabbed their children and belongings and fled neighborhoods on the outskirts of Gaza City as Israel unleashed heavy artillery fire and airstrikes.

A family of six was killed inside their home.

Israel says it was clearing a network of militant tunnels ahead of a possible ground invasion.

It has massed troops along the border and called up nine-thousand reservists as fighting intensifies with the Islamic militant group Hamas, which controls the Gaza Strip.

Israeli aircraft have leveled a multistory building housing a bank affiliated with the Hamas militant group in Gaza City.

It was the third Hamas bank destroyed in Israeli airstrikes in this week's deadly escalation and fighting.

The Israeli military also said on Friday that it had struck Hamas weapons production and naval sites in recent strikes on the Gaza Strip.

The Hamas armed wing released a video showing what they said was a drone attack the group launched targeting an Israeli chemical plant near a kibbutz in southern Israel.

There was no immediate comment from the Israeli army on the drone attack.

Man charged with impersonating North Vancouver Mountie

Mounties in North Vancouver say a man has been charged after allegedly pulling over a Tesla and falsely identifying himself as an RCMP officer. They say the man was driving a Ford F-150 with lights that resembled emergency vehicle lights. Police say the man was arrested shortly after and was released pending a court date. They say officers determined during the investigation that there may be other victims who were pulled over by the suspect, so they made a social media post requesting victims to come forward. The RCMP say on June 24, the BC Prosecution Service formally charged the man with "p

Woman arrested in Langley, B.C., for assault causing severe burns

Mounties in Langley, B.C., say a 25-year-old woman has been charged with an assault that sent another woman to hospital with "severe burns." They previously said officers responded to a report of a woman in distress along a stretch of the Fraser Highway lined with businesses near the city's downtown area at about 6:35 p.m. on Saturday. Police said the 33-year-old's injuries were caused by exposure to an "unknown substance." The RCMP say police quickly confirmed the incident took place at the transit bus loop near 204 Street and Logan Avenue. They say officers located and arrested the 25-year-o

Zelenskyy shakes up Ukrainian Cabinet, appointing new prime minister to reinvigorate war effort

Ukraine’s economy minister and the key negotiator in the mineral deal with the U.S, Yuliia Svyrydenko, has been appointed as new prime minister, becoming its first new head of government since the start of Russia’s full-scale invasion in 2022. Svyrydenko is one of a group of officials taking on new roles in Ukraine’s government, as President Volodymyr Zelenskyy reshuffles the Cabinet in a bid to energize a war-weary nation and boost domestic weapons production in the face of Russia’s grinding invasion. At home, however, the Cabinet recalibration has not been seen as a major shift, as

‘Bratty children’: Alberta’s Danielle Smith faces criticism, anger at town hall

Premier Danielle Smith and her Alberta Next panel were in Edmonton Wednesday for the second in a series of summer town halls, but ran into a far less supportive crowd than the night before in Red Deer. Smith launched the panel to address public concerns over Prime Minister Mark Carney's election win and gauge interest in new ways Alberta could wrestle some power away from Ottawa. The ideas proposed by Smith's panel include creating a provincial pension plan, the Alberta Revenue Agency, and launching a new immigration permitting system. The proposals had clear support in Red Deer, but

20 Palestinians killed at Gaza distribution site, says Israeli-backed aid group

An American aid organization says 20 Palestinians were killed at a distribution site in Gaza. The Gaza Humanitarian Fund said it believed that 19 died from trampling Wednesday at its food distribution center and one was stabbed. The group accuses Hamas of spreading panic but provided no evidence. Witnesses said GHF guards threw stun grenades and used pepper spray on people pressing to get into the site before it opened, causing panic. The United Nations reports 875 Palestinians have died near aid sites since May. Meanwhile, hospital officials say Israeli strikes killed 41 others, including 1
