Winter Storm Near Miss: Southern Ontario Could Still See Heavy Snow

  A major winter storm developing across the central United States is expected to track close enough to southern Ontario this weekend to bring the risk of significant snowfall. While the core of the system is projected to remain south of the border, its northern edge may still sweep across regions from Windsor to the Greater Toronto Area. Forecasters say the exact path remains uncertain, but current projections suggest that areas along and south of Highway 401 could see notable accumulations if the storm shifts even slightly north. Some models indicate the potential for 10–20 centimetres of snow, with locally higher amounts possible if lake‑enhanced bands develop.

Israel Halts Return of Thousands of Palestinians Amid Hostage Dispute with Hamas

 

In a recent development, Israel has stopped the return of thousands of Palestinians to their homes in northern Gaza, citing a violation of the ceasefire agreement by Hamas. The ceasefire, which was meant to bring peace and allow displaced Palestinians to return home, has been disrupted due to the non-release of a civilian hostage, Arbel Yehud.

According to Israeli officials, Hamas was supposed to release Yehud before freeing four female soldiers. However, Hamas did not adhere to this order, leading Israel to block the return of Palestinians until the situation is resolved. This decision has left many Palestinians stranded and uncertain about their future.

The ceasefire deal, which was brokered to end 15 months of conflict, included the release of hostages and Palestinian prisoners, as well as increased humanitarian aid for Gaza. Despite the initial hope brought by the ceasefire, the current dispute has cast a shadow over the fragile peace.

As negotiations continue, both sides remain hopeful for a resolution that will allow the safe return of displaced Palestinians and the release of all hostages. The international community continues to monitor the situation closely, urging both parties to adhere to the terms of the ceasefire and work towards lasting peace.
