US-Backed Operation Ends Reign of Cartel Boss ‘El Mencho’

  A forensic ambulance believed to be transporting the body of Mexican drug lord Nemesio Oseguera, known as "El Mencho,"leaves the Specialized Prosecutor's Office for Organised Crime (FEMDO), following a military operation in which a government source said he was killed, in Mexico City, Mexico, February 22, 2026.  Mexico has entered a turbulent new chapter after the death of Nemesio Oseguera Cervantes, widely known as El Mencho , one of the country’s most feared cartel leaders.

Intense Clashes in Gaza as Israeli Forces Target North and South

 

In a recent escalation of violence, Israeli forces have launched strikes across Gaza, with residents reporting fierce fighting in Rafah, a city in the southern part of the Palestinian enclave. The Tel Al-Sultan neighborhood in western Rafah has become a battleground, where tanks are attempting to advance north amid heavy clashes. The armed wings of Hamas and the Islamic Jihad have responded by attacking Israeli forces with anti-tank rockets and mortar bombs.

Since early May, the focus of ground fighting has been on Rafah, where approximately half of Gaza’s 2.3 million people sought shelter after fleeing other areas. However, most have had to flee again due to the ongoing conflict. Medics reported two Palestinian fatalities from an Israeli missile strike in Rafah. Meanwhile, in the northern Gaza town of Beit Lahiya, an Israeli airstrike destroyed a house, resulting in the deaths of four Palestinians and injuries to several others.

The situation remains dire, with international mediation efforts failing to yield a ceasefire agreement. While Hamas insists on an end to the war and full Israeli withdrawal from Gaza, Israel is only willing to accept temporary pauses in fighting until Hamas is eradicated. Amidst the conflict, Palestinians in northern Gaza face severe food shortages and soaring prices, with thousands of children suffering from malnutrition.

As the violence continues, civilians bear the brunt of the devastating impact, and hopes for a peaceful resolution remain elusive.
