Israeli Strikes Level Gaza City Towers Amid Mass Evacuations

  Smoke and flames rise after an Israeli military strike on a building in Gaza City, Friday, Sept. 12, 2025. Israeli forces have destroyed multiple high-rise buildings in Gaza City following evacuation warnings to residents, as the military intensifies its campaign to seize control of the area. The Israel Defense Forces (IDF) confirmed striking three towers on Sunday — including the Kawthar Tower, Mahna Tower, and a building on the Islamic University campus — which it said were being used by Hamas for surveillance and operational planning. The demolitions come days after the IDF ordered the entire population of Gaza City to evacuate ahead of a planned ground offensive. Israeli officials estimate that more than 300,000 Palestinians have fled so far, though hundreds of thousands remain.

Trump Eases Global Tariffs but Maintains Stance on Canada



In a surprising move, U.S. President Donald Trump has partially reversed his aggressive tariff policies, pausing the highest levies on several nations for 90 days. However, Canada remains excluded from this reprieve. The baseline 10% tariff on imports to the U.S. persists, alongside specific duties on Canadian goods, including automobiles and energy products.

Trump's decision follows mounting pressure from over 75 countries seeking negotiations to mitigate the economic chaos caused by his "reciprocal" tariff regime. While some nations saw relief, Trump doubled down on tariffs for China, raising them to a staggering 125%.

Canada, meanwhile, has responded with retaliatory measures, including tariffs on U.S. vehicles and other goods. The ongoing trade tensions highlight the complexities of Trump's global trade strategy and its ripple effects on international markets.
