Your daily horoscope: January 13, 2026

  IF TODAY IS YOUR BIRTHDAY There may be nothing new under the sun but what takes place over the next 12 months will take you by surprise because it never occurred to you that such things were possible. Forget about what went before – it’s what comes next that matters. ARIES (March 21 - April 20): The best way to deal with information that does not make sense is to ignore it. It may seem important now but with so many changes on the horizon you will have forgotten about it by this time tomorrow – so it can’t be that significant can it? TAURUS (April 21 - May 21): The next few days are going to be special for everyone but especially for you.

Tragedy in Gaza: Airstrike Claims Lives Amid Ongoing Conflict


In a devastating turn of events, Israeli forces bombarded homes in the northern Gaza Strip, resulting in the deaths of at least 15 people. The airstrike, which targeted a building in the town of Beit Lahiya, left several others wounded and many more missing. The Palestinian Civil Emergency Service reported that rescue workers struggled to reach the site immediately due to the ongoing conflict.

The attack has further strained the already overwhelmed hospitals in the area, which are barely operational and unable to cope with the influx of wounded individuals. Residents in Jabalia, Beit Lahiya, and Beit Hanoun reported that clusters of houses were bombed, with some set ablaze. Israeli drones also dropped bombs outside a school sheltering displaced families, suggesting an attempt to scare them into leaving.

The Israeli military, which began its offensive against Hamas in Gaza following the militant group's attack on southern Israeli communities on October 7, 2023, stated that its latest operations in northern Gaza aim to prevent militants from regrouping and launching further attacks. However, the ongoing conflict has resulted in significant casualties and displacement, with Gaza officials reporting over 44,400 deaths and widespread destruction across the enclave.

Efforts to reach a ceasefire continue, with Egyptian officials hosting talks between Hamas and the rival Fatah group led by Palestinian President Mahmoud Abbas. The discussions aim to establish a committee to govern post-war Gaza, but no final agreement has been reached. Meanwhile, the humanitarian crisis in Gaza worsens, with the international community calling for urgent action to address the dire situation.
