Thousands gathered in major cities across the United States over the weekend to support Palestinians as Israel's military launches massive airstrikes on Gaza and the death toll mounts.
Sunday marked the deadliest day in Gaza yet, with more than 50 killed, according to the region's health ministry. Since the violence broke out last week, Israeli firepower has killed more than 200 Palestinians, including 61 children. More than 1,400 people have been injured, the ministry said. At least 10 Israelis have died as a result of Hamas rocket fire, the Israel Defense Forces said.
The alleged drug traffickers killed by the US military in a strike on September 2 were heading to link up with another, larger vessel that was bound for Suriname — a small South American country east of Venezuela – the admiral who oversaw the operation told lawmakers on Thursday according to two sources with direct knowledge of his remarks.

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.
