Your daily horoscope: February 9, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY If you accept that conflict is a fact of life and that sometimes you have to fight for your beliefs then the coming year won’t hold too many terrors. You may even find that you enjoy pitting wits with people you once thought of as scary. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): Don’t try to get everything done in one mad rush as the week begins or you will quickly exhaust yourself. Slow down and give yourself time to consider your options for the rest of the month. It’s not about speed, it’s about focus. TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): You may not have made much progress with a creative endeavour of late but it’s no big deal so don’t despair. There will be many more opportunities to push ahead with it over the next few weeks. You’re not on the clock, so why hurry? GEMINI (May 22 - June 21): If a colleague or rival wants to make personal comments about you that’s up to them but you don’t have to respond in kind.

Israel Orders Evacuation of Gaza Humanitarian Zone Amid Ongoing Conflict

 

The Israeli military has ordered the evacuation of part of the Gaza Strip’s humanitarian zone, citing the presence of Hamas militants who have embedded themselves in the area. This zone, located in the southern Gaza Strip, has been a refuge for many Palestinians displaced by the ongoing conflict.

The evacuation order affects the eastern part of the al-Muwasi humanitarian zone. The Israeli military stated that Hamas militants have been using this area to launch rockets towards Israel, necessitating the evacuation to ensure civilian safety and to target the militants more effectively.

The humanitarian situation in Gaza remains dire, with many residents living in makeshift camps lacking basic sanitation and medical facilities. The conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with over 38,900 people reported dead since the war began.

Negotiations for a cease-fire continue, with efforts from Egypt, Qatar, and the United States to mediate a phased agreement between Israel and Hamas. Despite these efforts, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza persists, exacerbated by the ongoing military operations and the deteriorating living conditions for its residents.
