A City Buried: Toronto Endures Its Snowiest Day on Record

  Residents are being warned of dangerous travel conditions, including the possibility of near-zero visibility at times. Toronto woke up to a historic winter wallop as an intense snowstorm dumped an astonishing 40–50+ cm across the city, marking the snowiest single day ever recorded. What began as a steady overnight snowfall quickly escalated into a full‑scale weather event that brought much of the region to a standstill.

Escalation in Gaza: Israeli Strikes Kill 40, Tanks Advance in the North

 

The conflict in Gaza has intensified as Israeli military strikes have killed at least 40 Palestinians across the Gaza Strip. The Israeli forces have tightened their grip around Jabalia in the north, engaging in fierce battles with Hamas-led fighters.

The escalation comes amid a broader offensive that has seen Israeli tanks advancing into northern Gaza, including the towns of Beit Lahiya and Beit Hanoun. The Israeli military’s stated aim is to eliminate Hamas fighters regrouping in these areas.

Palestinian health officials reported multiple casualties from Israeli airstrikes, including 11 people near Al-Falouja in Jabalia and 10 others in Bani Suhaila in eastern Khan Younis. Additional strikes destroyed homes in Gaza City and the Nuseirat camp, resulting in further loss of life.

The United Nations has expressed concern over the humanitarian impact, noting that the Israeli military appears to be cutting off northern Gaza from the rest of the enclave. This has raised fears of a potential forced displacement of residents, a claim Israel denies.

As the conflict continues, the international community watches closely, urging both sides to prioritize the safety and well-being of civilians caught in the crossfire.
