The Israel Defense Forces said it carried out a pair of drone strikes in the Gaza Strip on Sunday — one targeting a group of gunmen who were approaching Israeli forces in one area and the other as a warning when a car drove near soldiers in another.

 

Palestinian media reported that the first drone strike killed three Hamas police officers east of the city of Rafah in the southern Strip, which the terror group called “a serious violation” of the ceasefire in effect since January 19.

 

“The IDF continues to call on Gazans to obey the IDF instructions and not approach the forces deployed to the area,” the Israeli military said.

 

The Hamas-controlled interior ministry in Gaza said it “condemns this crime and calls upon the mediators and the international community to compel the occupation to stop targeting the police force, which is a civil apparatus.”

 

It claimed the policemen were deployed in the area to secure the entry of aid trucks into Gaza.

US gives green light for bird flu vaccine for poultry

 

The U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) has granted Zoetis a conditional license for its Avian Influenza Vaccine, H5N2 Subtype, Killed Virus, intended for use in chickens.

 

According to Reuters, this approval is based on demonstrated safety, purity, and a reasonable expectation of efficacy supported by serology data.

 

A conditional license is issued to address emergency conditions, limited markets, or special circumstances and is valid for a finite period, subject to renewal at the USDA’s discretion.

 

 

National regulatory authorities, in collaboration with the poultry industry, make the decision to vaccinate commercial poultry flocks against Highly Pathogenic Avian Influenza (HPAI).

 

Zoetis has a history of developing avian influenza vaccines; in 2016, the company received a conditional license for its H5N1 vaccine, which was later used to protect California condors in 2023.

 

Additionally, Zoetis holds a USDA license for POULVAC® FLUFEND™ i AI H5N3 RG, utilized in 2024 to safeguard endangered birds in New Zealand.

 

Since February 2022, HPAI has affected over 150 million birds in the U.S., impacting both backyard and commercial flocks.

 

The Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) considers the risk to the general public to be low, as most human infections have occurred among farm workers exposed to infected animals.

 

However, experts caution that the virus could mutate, potentially increasing the risk of human-to-human transmission.

 

In response to the outbreak, the USDA is updating its stockpile of avian influenza vaccines to match the circulating virus strains.

 

Other companies, including Merck and Ceva, along with U.S. government researchers, are also developing vaccines to combat the spread of avian influenza.

 

The conditional approval of Zoetis’ vaccine represents a significant step in addressing the ongoing avian influenza crisis, providing poultry producers with an additional tool to protect their flocks and mitigate the impact of future outbreaks.

Israel Preparing Preventive Strike on Iran's Nuclear Facilities WP

Israel is likely to launch a preemptive strike on Iran's nuclear program, The Washington Post reported, citing US intelligence reports. The publication notes that the attack could occur in the middle of this year.

 

According to multiple intelligence reports released late in the Biden administration and early in the Trump administration, such an attack would set Iran's nuclear program back by weeks or months, raising tensions in the region and risking triggering a wider conflict.

The new directive prohibits any FTC political appointees from engaging with or benefiting from the ABA in any capacity.

 

“Federal Trade Commission Chairman Andrew N. Ferguson announced a new policy that prohibits FTC political appointees from holding leadership roles in the American Bar Association (ABA), participating in ABA events, or renewing their ABA memberships. Additionally, the FTC will no longer use its resources to support any employee’s ABA membership or participation in ABA activities,” according to the FTC.

Newsom Indicates He Will Veto Bill Blocking State Prisons From Working With ICE

 

California Gov. Gavin Newsom has indicated he will veto a bill that seeks to prevent the California state prison system from working with Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) if the bill passes the Legislature.

 

If passed, Assembly Bill 15 (AB 15), introduced by Assembly Member Mike Gipson (D-District 65) who represents parts of south-central Los Angeles, would prevent the California Department of Corrections and Rehabilitation (CDCR) from cooperating with ICE.

 

The CDCR would be prohibited from holding someone in custody at the request of ICE, sharing an individual’s release date with ICE, responding to ICE requests for information, or transferring individuals to ICE custody.

 

“The Governor has twice vetoed versions of this bill before,” Newsom’s office said in a statement emailed to The Epoch Times.

 

California law currently allows CDCR to notify and coordinate with ICE to take custody of illegal immigrants who have come to the end of their state prison term for felony offenses.

 

The governor’s office shared statistics that the state prison system has notified and coordinated with ICE the transfer of 10,588 state inmates, including illegal aliens who have committed serious crimes. Those crimes include assault and battery, threats, rape, theft, fraud, felony DUI, drug crimes and more.

 

Newsom has previously vetoed Assembly Bill 1306 in 2023 and another version, Assembly Bill 1282, in 2019.

 

“His position has been long-held since he was mayor of San Francisco,” the governor’s office stated.

 

AB 1306 would have prohibited the CDCR from detaining inmates on the basis of a hold request, sharing with ICE release date information, responding to a notification request, transferring to ICE, or facilitating a transfer request for any individual eligible for release, including but not limited to youth offenders, elderly, and medical parole releases.

 

“The bill would prevent information sharing and coordination upon a person’s release from CDCR custody for a significant number of people and, as a result, would impede CDCR’s interaction with a federal law enforcement agency charged with assessing public safety risks,” Newsom stated at the time of his veto.

 

“I believe current law strikes the right balance on limiting interaction to support community trust and cooperation between law enforcement and local communities.”

 

Newsom did say that his administration recognizes the need for improvements.

 

“CDCR will limit how it communicates with ICE as a federal law enforcement agency, so information is only provided to ICE when a noncitizen individual enters prison and is approaching their release date,” Newsom wrote in the 2023 veto. "ICE would then determine how it proceeds with its enforcement of federal law.”
