Since it was declared, Israeli strikes have continued, and the UN has warned of dire living conditions. More than 1,460 people have been killed in Israeli attacks in Gaza since the ceasefire was declared, according to latest figures from the territory's Hamas-run Ministry of Health.

It's approaching a year since a ceasefire was declared in Gaza. Hamas and Israel agreed to halt the war after accepting US President Donald Trump's 20-point peace plan. It included a suspension of "all military operations, including aerial and artillery bombardment".

Anti-government groups in Israel, such as the October Council and the Kumu Movement, have been demanding a public inquiry into the 7 October attacks. They held banners that read "the people will remember their sons and daughters" along with others that say "a complete failure" and "guilty"

Last night, on October 4, U.S. Southern Command posted that it had struck another small boat in the Caribbean, killing another four people it called “narco-terrorists.” This brings the number of strikes to more than 70, and the number of people killed in the strikes that began

But without the accelerating effectiveness, in offensive & defensive terms. The concrete remains of the U-boat war are impressive testimony to the huge & pointless expenditure of people (esp slave workers) & material that Bomber Command imposed on the Reich in retreat. Atlantic Wall on steroids.

"Portrait of a Lady (unfinished)" by Gustav Klimt is a striking piece showcasing Klimt's distinctive style with its expressive use of color and loose, flowing lines. The artwork captures a serene yet mysterious expression, illustrating Klimt’s skill in combining detailed facial rendering with an impressionistic approach to other elements.
