Hamas attacked a bus carrying about two-dozen members of the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation team at about 10 p.m. in the Gaza Strip on Wednesday, with “at least five fatalities, multiple injuries and fear that some of our team members may have been taken hostage,” the aid group stated.
The “local Palestinians,” who were “working side-by-side with the U.S. GHF team,” were on the way to one of the U.S.-backed aid group’s distribution centers west of Khan Younis, the foundation said.
“We condemn this heinous and deliberate attack in the strongest possible terms,” it stated. “These were aid workers. Humanitarians. Fathers, brothers, sons and friends, who were risking their lives everyday to help others.”

A federal judge ruled on Wednesday that the Trump administration cannot deport or continue holding Mahmoud Khalil, a controversial anti-Israel activist, in detention.
Judge Michael Farbiarz of the U.S. District Court in New Jersey issued a preliminary injunction blocking federal authorities from removing Khalil from the United States. According to court records reviewed by The Post, Farbiarz found that the administration’s justification — that Khalil’s presence threatened U.S. foreign relations — did not meet the legal threshold required to proceed.

Airfare costs have soared since the onset of the war between Israel and Hamas, and El Al Israel Airlines has come under fire for its role in the spike. On Tuesday, a class action complaint was submitted to the Lod District Court, accusing El Al of inflating ticket prices during the national emergency that erupted after the events of October 7, 2023.
The legal motion, filed by attorney Ilan Verednikov and represented by Tal Rotman and Adi Zitron of the Perl Cohen law firm, contends that El Al exploited its dominant market position to impose unfair price hikes on passengers. The damages sought in the case exceed NIS 2.5 million.

Following the news, Novavax’s stock climbed 1.3% in premarket trading, reaching $7.29.

Will artificial intelligence save humanity — or destroy it? Lift up the world’s poorest — or tighten the grip of a tech elite? Jensen Huang — the global chip tycoon widely predicted to become one of the world’s first trillionaires — offered his answer on Wednesday: neither dystopia nor domination. AI, he said, is a tool for liberation. Wearing his signature biker jacket and mobbed by fans for selfies, the Nvidia CEO cut the figure of a tech rockstar as he took the stage at VivaTech in Paris. “AI is the greatest equalizer of people the world has ever created,” Huang said, kicking off one of Europe’s biggest technology industry fairs. Huang’s core argument: AI can level the playing field, not tilt it. Critics argue Nvidia’s dominance risks concentrating power in the hands of a few.
