A deadly private jet crash rocks Palm Beach County, Florida, after a Bahamas-bound Learjet 60 plunges from the sky and erupts into a massive fireball. All nine people aboard are killed, according to officials. The aircraft had departed Austin, Texas, and was heading to North Eleuthera in the Bahamas. In its final minutes, the crew reportedly alerts air traffic control about ice accumulation, precipitation and severe turbulence before requesting a higher altitude. Flight-tracking data indicates the jet climbed to approximately 41,000 feet before entering a terrifying descent. Air traffic control recordings capture distress calls as the aircraft loses altitude at an alarming rate.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) say they have eliminated two Nukhba terrorists, including one who infiltrated Kibbutz Nir Oz during the October 7, 2023, Hamas-led attack on Israel. According to the IDF, the individual was also responsible for the operational readiness of Nukhba terrorists. The military further alleged that both individuals had recently advanced attacks against Israeli civilians and IDF troops. The IDF also claimed that the terrorists were involved in efforts to restore Hamas’ military capabilities, describing their activities as a violation of the ceasefire agreement. The development comes amid continuing tensions and Israeli military operations against Hamas operatives in Gaza.
