Israel orders evacuations in northern Gaza as Trump calls for war to end

-
By Nidal Al-Mughrabi Reuters  The Israeli military ordered Palestinians to evacuate areas in northern Gaza on Sunday before intensified fighting against  Hamas , as U.S. President Donald Trump called for an end to the  war  amid renewed efforts to broker a ceasefire. “Make the deal in Gaza, get the hostages back,”  Trump  posted on his Truth Social platform early on Sunday. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was due to hold talks later in the day on the progress of Israel’s offensive. A senior security official said the military will tell him the campaign is close to reaching its objectives, and warn that expanding fighting to new areas in Gaza may endanger the remaining Israeli hostages. But in a statement posted on X and text messages sent to many residents, the military urged people in northern parts of the enclave to head south towards the Al-Mawasi area in Khan Younis, which Israel designated as a humanitarian area.

Klauss ranks 2nd in MLS jersey sales; two CITY SC teammates in Top 15

-

ST. LOUIS - It's been a memorable inaugural season for St. Louis CITY SC. With sights set on playoff aspirations and possibly the top seed in the Western Conference, it seems soccer fans nationwide are taking notice.

Major League Soccer announced its Top 25-selling jerseys for the 2023 MLS season on Friday. The results are a point of pride for St. Louis CITY SC.

One of the team's leading scorers, Klauss, finished second in terms of top-selling Adidas jerseys that the league sold via MLSstore.com. He trailed only international soccer legend Lionel Messi, who joined the MLS Inter Miami CF in July.

Within the Top 15, two more St. Louis CITY SC veterans generated the most sales: Midfielder Eduard Löwen and Center-back Tim Parker.

Klauss, Löwen and Parker are among the three most common names you'll see on jerseys at CITYPARK and for good reason. Each one sets the bar high with their skillset and gives CITY SC a balanced approach. Parker averages around 88 minutes per game, Löwen leads the team with 36 tackles and Klauss ranks second on the team with eight goals, despite missing several weeks due to injury.

St. Louis CITY SC has three matches remaining in its first regular season, starting with Saturday's rivalry tilt against Sporting Kansas City. CITY has a 16-5-10 record and will almost guarantee the west's top seed with one more win over their final three games.

Israel-Hezbollah attacks continue despite international pressure for ceasefire

-
By Timour Azhari and James Mackenzie Reuters  Israel rejected global calls on Thursday for a ceasefire with the Hezbollah movement, defying its biggest ally in Washington and pressing ahead with strikes that have killed hundreds in Lebanon and heightened fears of an all-out regional war. Despite Israel’s stance, the U.S. and France sought to keep prospects alive for an  immediate 21-day  truce they proposed on Wednesday, and said negotiations continued, including on the sidelines of a United Nations meeting in New York. An Israeli warplane struck the edges of the capital Beirut, killing two people and wounding 15, including a woman in critical condition, Lebanon’s health ministry said. That took deaths overnight and on Thursday to 28 and over 600 since Monday. The strike killed the head of one of Hezbollah’s air force units, Mohammad Surur, Hezbollah said, the latest senior Hezbollah commander to be targeted in days of assassinations among the group’s top ranks. On t...

By Monica Machicao and Daniel Ramos Reuters Wildfires in Bolivia have burned through more than 10 million hectares (24.7 million acres) this year, mostly in the country’s tropical east, smashing records for its worst-ever fire season and scorching an area the size of Iceland or Cuba. The new figures released on Monday by non-governmental organization Tierra Foundation represent the equivalent of nearly 19 million American football fields. Fires in recent months have propelled Bolivia past devastating fire years in 2010 and 2019. Santa Cruz, a wealthy farming region in the country’s eastern lowlands near Brazil, has been the hardest hit, accounting for almost 7 million hectares of the total, followed by the nearby department of Beni, with 3 million hectares. “What’s happened in recent months in eastern Bolivia, and will continue to occur at least through October, is a disaster of a magnitude unprecedented in the country,” Juan Pablo Chumacero, researcher at the Tierra Foundation, to...
