By MELANIE LIDMAN and AREF TUFAHA JERUSALEM (AP) — Israel’s top general resigned on Tuesday, citing the security and intelligence failures related to Hamas’ surprise attack that triggered the war in the Gaza Strip. Israel meanwhile launched a large operation in the occupied West Bank, killing at least eight people, according to Palestinian officials. Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi is the most senior Israeli figure to resign over the security breakdown on Oct. 7, 2023, when thousands of Hamas-led terrorists carried out a land, sea and air assault into southern Israel, rampaging through army bases and nearby communities. Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Canada and the European Union. The attack killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and the terrorists abducted another 250. More than 90 captives are still held in Gaza, around a third are believed to be dead. Halevi’s resignation came just days into a fragile ceasefire with Hamas that could lead to an end to the 15-month war and the return of remaining captives. Maj. Gen. Yaron Finkelman, head of Israel’s Southern Command, which oversees operations in

By ABDEL KAREEM HANA and TIA GOLDENBERG RAFAH, Gaza Strip (AP) — Palestinians in Gaza are confronting an apocalyptic landscape of devastation after a ceasefire paused more than 15 months of fighting between Israel and Hamas. Across the tiny coastal enclave, where built-up refugee camps are interspersed between cities, drone footage captured by The Associated Press shows mounds of rubble stretching as far as the eye can see — remnants of the longest and deadliest war between Israel and Hamas in their blood-ridden history. Hamas has been designated as a terrorist organization by the United States, Canada and the European Union. “As you can see, it became a ghost town,” said Hussein Barakat, 38, whose home in the southern city of Rafah was flattened. “There is nothing,” he said, as he sat drinking coffee on a brown armchair perched on the rubble of his three-story home, in a surreal scene. Critics say Israel has waged a campaign of scorched earth to destroy the fabric of life in Gaza, accusations that are being considered in two global courts, including the crime of genocide. Israel denies those

By NICHOLAS RICCARDI, Associated Press All the living former presidents were there and the outgoing president amicably greeted his successor, who gave a speech about the country’s bright future and who left to the blare of a brass band. At first glance, President Donald Trump’s second inauguration seemed like a continuation of the country’s nearly 250-year-long tradition of peaceful transfers of power, essential to its democracy. And there was much to celebrate: Trump won a free and fair election last fall, and his supporters hope he will be able to fix problems at the border, end the war in Ukraine and get inflation under control. Still, on Monday, the warning signs were clear. Due to frigid temperatures, Trump’s swearing-in was held in the Capitol Rotunda, where rioters seeking to keep him in power the last time roamed during the Jan. 6, 2021, attack. Trump walked into the space from the hall leading to the building’s west front tunnel, where some of the worst hand-to-hand combat between Trump supporters and police occurred that day.

President Trump signed hundreds of executive actions after his presidential inauguration on Monday.

Among the roughly 200 executive actions Trump ordered on his first day in office were significant orders on immigration. CBS News political reporter Aaron Navarro has more on those.

Among executive orders signed by President Donald Trump at the Oval Office on Inauguration Day is one ending birthright citizenship. The executive order is a “flagrantly illegal” attempt to redefine a right “enshrined in the very fabric of our country,” argued a lawsuit filed overnight in Massachusetts federal court. The lawsuit — brought by an undocumented expectant mother who is due in March and two nonprofit groups — is expected to be one of the many legal challenges to the executive order that seeks to reinterpret the 14th Amendment’s guarantee of citizenship to nearly every person born in the United States. “This unprecedented attempt to strip citizenship from millions of Americans with the stroke of a pen is flagrantly illegal. The President does not have the power to decide who becomes a citizen at birth,” the lawsuit said. The plaintiffs argued that birthright citizenship is not only guaranteed in the 14th Amendment but has also been consistently codified into federal law; stripping away that right would be “overwhelming and devastating,” the lawsuit argued. “Those victimized in this way by the EO would be shorn of

Cecile Richards, a national leader for abortion access and women’s rights who led Planned Parenthood for 12 tumultuous years, has died. She was 67. Richards died Monday at home “surrounded by family and her ever-loyal dog, Ollie,” her family said in a statement. “Our hearts are broken today but no words can do justice to the joy she brought to our lives,” the family said. Richards, the daughter of the late Texas Gov. Ann Richards, was diagnosed with glioblastoma, an aggressive form of brain cancer, in 2023, five years after she left Planned Parenthood. Though Planned Parenthood also provides birth control, cancer screenings and testing for sexually transmitted diseases at clinics nationwide, its status as the nation’s leading abortion provider has long made it a target of social conservatives. Under Richards’ leadership, the organization gained in membership, donor support and political clout, and she played a prominent role in pushing back against critics.

WASHINGTON — Among the first executive orders signed by President Donald Trump was an order to rename the Gulf of Mexico to the newly named “Gulf of America.” “President Trump is bringing common sense to government and renewing the pillars of American civilization,” the newly inaugurated president’s executive order said. Trump also called for Alaska’s 20,000-foot mountain, Denali, to be reverted back to Mount McKinley, which was its name before former President Barack Obama had it changed in 2015.

LOS ANGELES (KABC) — Kamala Harris and Joe Biden traveled to Southern California Monday following President Donald Trump’s inauguration. Harris’ first stop in her home state was at Gordy’s Garage, an Altadena repair shop that’s hosting a World Central Kitchen site. Harris and former Second Gentleman Doug Emhoff spoke with fire victims, some of whom had lost everything. “The volunteers who are there, some of whom lost their own homes, are doing the work of taking care of perfect strangers,” said Harris. Jason Collins, the chief relief officer with the World Central Kitchen, said Harris thanked them for their “continuous support, for being there on day one and being there for the community.” “We’re proud to have her here and be able to serve the community of Altadena and give them a little breath of fresh air with everything they’ve been going through,” said Collins. From there, Harris visited fire station 12, the first station to respond to the Eaton Fire and one that wound up being on the front lines of the firefight. “Moments of crisis really do reveal the heroes among us.

Professor Elwood Watson harangued us over DEI, or rather opposition to Diversity, Equity and Inclusion by conservatives. It’s apparently offensive to find ulterior, even malign, agendas in the DEI programs that seek only to improve our lives. Or do they? The phrase, “variety is the spice of life,” has traditionally helped to broaden our perspectives; it was never a mandatory principle. A “rut” is only different from a “grave” by the depth involved. Try new things; meet new people; you’ll be better for it. Many take exception to the implied guilt-trip if our experiences don’t have the “proper” mix of “colored beans.” The Watsons among us, and the “enlightened” niche in our businesses, institutions and higher education, believe we can benefit from imposed “variety,” and should welcome forced “inclusion” of the requisite mix of races, cultures, lifestyles and backgrounds. They’re shocked to find that people and businesses resent being told what’s best for them when they can determine that on their own. Many of these self-appointed “know-ers of what’s best” never suspect that their character is hardly virtuous enough to judge anyone. *** I mention that to raise a broader

It took me a long time to fully understand this profound truth: Money is not for spending. It is for managing first and then for spending. No one knows better than I do that it takes courage to believe that, but when you do, it will transform the way you think about and then manage your money. Imagine this: It’s Friday, a day you have come to know and love as Cake Day (just go with me on this). You want cake, you love cake, and doggone it, you deserve to eat cake! You stop at the store and pick up the required ingredients to bake your favorite cake. The most bizarre thing happens on the way home. You can’t wait. You begin eating the ingredients because you are so hungry for cake and simply cannot help yourself. You gulp a couple of eggs, chew up some butter and sugar, then down a load of flour and cocoa. You pull into the driveway completely disgusted with yourself. You try to hide the evidence but it’s all over your face. But the worst part: Eating the

REDDING – The Shasta County Sheriff’s Office Friday announced it arrested a man for alleged possession of a loaded firearm and narcotics in Cottonwood. Members of the Shasta County AB109, Shasta Interagency Narcotics Task Force, and the Enforcement Division served a search warrant at a residence on the 21000 block of Fourth Street, Cottonwood. According to the Sheriff’s Office, numerous people were inside the residence when the search warrant was served. One was 54-year-old Robert Jeffery Tyler, a convicted felon prohibited from owning or possessing firearms and/or ammunition. Law enforcement claims when detectives contacted Tyler, he refused several lawful commands before being detained. Detectives allergy found located a loaded and operable shotgun, bolt action rifle, various ammunition, methamphetamine, 163 grams of processed marijuana, and stolen property from a recent burglary.

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KFSN) — President Donald Trump signed a series of executive orders on his first day back in office, promising swift changes while restoring the nation’s prominence in the world. During a celebration inside the Capital One arena with supporters, Trump signed an executive order to withdraw the United States from the Paris Climate Agreement. Trump went on to declare a national emergency on the Southern Border while designating criminal cartels as terror groups. He also signed an executive order to bring an end to birthright citizenship for children born to undocumented parents. After stepping back into the Oval Office, the 47th president pardoned more than 1,500 people who were charged with storming the US Capitol on January 6th, 2021. That included commuting the sentences of those convicted. Among the other orders President Trump signed on Monday was the renaming of the Gulf of Mexico to the Gulf of America. Trump also signed an executive order to delay the ban on TikTok for 75 days. The ban on the social media app went into effect on Sunday and TikTok went dark for several hours

WASHINGTON, D.C. (KFSN) — Just hours into his second term as president, Donald Trump signed dozens of executive orders, many that he had promised long before he was sworn-in. The president signed executive orders at the US Capitol after his swearing-in, later at the inaugural parade at Capital One Arena, and continued in the oval office. Immigration was a hot topic of his campaign and became the topic of several executive orders including declaring a national emergency at the US – Mexico border. “I will send troops to the southern border to repel the disastrous invasion of our country,” said President Trump. The order lays out the process of removing anyone in the country illegally and sending them back to their country of origin. Political Science Professor Thomas Holyoke said of the executive orders we could see immediate action and legal reaction to immigration. “The President’s ability to declare a national emergency does have some basis in statutory law. So, broadly speaking, he can do that,” said Holyoke. “Now to the extent that he can do it on immigration, and then turn that into say
