CNN
Hundreds of Palestinians were injured in clashes with Israeli police at one of Jerusalem's holiest sites on Monday, as tensions in the city continue to soar.
Footage from social media showed Israeli police inside Al Aqsa mosque and its surrounding compound, throwing stun grenades, and Palestinians throwing rocks at officers. Around 50 injured Palestinians were taken to hospital for treatment, the Palestinian Red Crescent said. The clashes came hours before an annual march through Jerusalem's Old City when Israelis mark the day the Israeli army took control of the Western Wall and the rest of East Jerusalem in 1967. In previous years, the march has been a flashpoint with Palestinian residents of the Old City complaining it is provocative for the procession to pass down a main street in the Muslim quarter. Authorities have been discussing placing restrictions on this year's route to lessen the chance of confrontation.
The two men killed as they floated holding onto their capsized boat in a secondary strike against a suspected drug vessel in early September did not appear to have radio or other communications devices, the top military official overseeing the strike told lawmakers on Thursday, according to two sources with direct knowledge of his congressional briefings.

Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth risked compromising sensitive military information that could have endangered US troops through his use of Signal to discuss attack plans, a Pentagon watchdog said in an unclassified report released Thursday. It also details how Hegseth declined to cooperate with the probe.
