After a night of heavy airstrikes, the Israeli military announced Tuesday that its expanded operation in Gaza City “to destroy Hamas’ military infrastructure” has begun and warned residents to move south.Israel’s Arabic language spokesperson Avichay Adree announced the expansion of Israel’s operation on X, after a night of heavy strikes against northern Gaza that killed at least 20 people. “The IDF has begun dismantling Hamas terrorist infrastructure in Gaza City,” Adraee said in a post on X this morning. “Gaza City is a dangerous combat zone.”The Israeli military and government did not immediately respond to requests for more information from NBC News.Israel has been warning the famine-stricken Gaza City residents to evacuate for the past month ahead of the operation but many have said they are unable to evacuate due to overcrowding in Gaza’s south and the high price of transport.Earlier in the day, Defense Minister Israel Katz said that “Gaza is burning” as U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio left Israel for Qatar, where he planned to meet with officials there still incensed over Israel’s strike last week that killed five Hamas members and a local security official. While Arab and Muslim nations denounced the strike at a summit Monday, they stopped short of any major action targeting Israel, highlighting the challenge of diplomatically pressuring any change in Israel’s conduct in the grinding Israel-Hamas war.Rubio, speaking to journalists before his departure, suggested the offensive on Gaza City had begun.“We think we have a very short window of time in which a deal can happen,” Rubio said. “We don’t have months anymore, and we probably have days and maybe a few weeks so it’s a key moment — an important moment.”“Our preference, our No. 1 choice, is that this ends through a negotiated settlement,” he added, while acknowledging the dangers an intensified military campaign posed to Gaza. “The only thing worse than a war is a protracted one that goes on forever and ever,” Rubio said. “At some point, this has to end. At some point, Hamas has to be defanged, and we hope it can happen through a negotiation. But I think time, unfortunately, is running out.”Trump administrationSep 9White House criticizes Israeli attack on Hamas in QatarIsrael-Hamas WarSep 9Israel strikes Hamas leadership in Qatar, which had been mediating a ceasefire in GazaIsrael-Hamas WarAug 22Famine declared in Gaza City as Israel vows to open ‘gates of hell' on besieged areaIntensity of strikes in Gaza City growsAfter weeks of threatening an expansion of the Israeli military operation in Gaza City, Katz signaled it had begun. “Gaza is burning,” he said early on Tuesday morning. “The (Israel military) is striking with an iron fist at the terrorist infrastructure and soldiers are fighting heroically to create the conditions for the release of the hostages and the defeat of Hamas. We will not relent and we will not go back — until the completion of the mission.”The United Nations estimated on Monday that over 220,000 Palestinians have fled northern Gaza over the past month, after the Israeli military warned that all residents should leave Gaza City ahead of the operation. An estimated 1 million Palestinians were living in the region around Gaza City before the evacuation warnings.At least 20 Palestinians killed in Gaza CityPalestinian residents reported heavy strikes across Gaza City on Tuesday morning. The city’s Shifa Hospital said it received the bodies of 20 people killed in a strike that hit multiple houses in a western neighborhood, with another 90 wounded arriving at the facility in recent hours. “A very tough night in Gaza,” Dr. Mohamed Abu Selmiyah, director of Shifa Hospital, told The Associated Press “The bombing did not stop for a single moment,” he said. “There are still bodies under the rubble.”The Israeli military did not respond to immediate requests for comment on the strikes but in the past has accused Hamas of building military infrastructure inside civilian areas, especially in Gaza City. Families of hostages beg Netanyahu to halt the operationOvernight, families of the hostages still being held in Gaza gathered outside of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s residence, pleading with him to stop the Gaza City operation. Some pitched tents and slept outside his home in protest. “I have one interest — for this country to wake up and bring back my child along with 47 other hostages, both living and deceased, and to bring our soldiers home,” Einav Zangauker, whose son Matan is being held in Gaza, shouted outside Netanyahu’s residence.“If he stops at nothing and sends our precious, brave, heroic soldiers to fight while our hostages are being used as human shields — he is not a worthy prime minister,” Zangauker. Israel believes around 20 of the 48 hostages still held by the militants in Gaza, including Matan, are alive. Both Netanyahu and Rubio said on Monday that the only way to end the conflict in Gaza is through the elimination of Hamas and the release of the hostages, setting aside calls for an interim ceasefire in favor of an immediate end to the conflict.Hamas has said it will only free remaining hostages in return for Palestinian prisoners, a lasting ceasefire and an Israeli withdrawal from Gaza.The war in Gaza began when Hamas-led militants stormed into southern Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and abducting 251. Most of the hostages have since been released in ceasefires brokered in part by Qatar or other deals.Israel’s retaliatory offensive has killed at least 64,871 Palestinians, according to Gaza’s Health Ministry, which doesn’t say how many were civilians or combatants. The ministry, which is part of the Hamas-run government and staffed by medical professionals, says women and children make up around half the dead.___Gambrell reported from Dubai, United Arab Emirates, and Magdy reported from Cairo.

We’re putting a spotlight on the tragic death of Massachusetts State Trooper Enrique Delgado-Garcia, who died after participating in a training exercise at the agency’s academy last September.State leaders launched an independent investigation to find out how it happened — and who should be held accountable. But a year later, there are still many answers Delgado-Garcia’s family — and the public — want answered.Sept. 13, 2024 — A mother’s anguish outside of UMass Memorial Hospital was a painful sign that something had gone horribly wrong inside the Massachusetts State Police Academy in New Braintree. Just a day earlier, Delgado-Garcia, an aspiring 25-year-old recruit, had participated in a boxing exercise. Based on his devastating injuries, family members questioned how the drill could’ve been supervised or sanctioned.Sept. 14, 2024 — Delgado-Garcia was pinned a trooper on his deathbed, and a police procession escorted his body to the Office of the Chief Medical Examiner.Sept. 16, 2024 — His death would normally be investigated by the Worcester County District Attorney’s Office. But because Delgado-Garcia had worked as a victim advocate in the office, District Attorney Joseph Early called for outside review.Sept. 22, 2024 — State Police announced a suspension of all boxing training activities at the academy.Sept. 22, 2024 — Attorney General Andrea Joy Campbell announced her pick for the independent probe: David Meier, an experienced trial attorney and former prosecutorSept. 28, 2024 — Friends and family lamented a life cut short during a funeral with full state police honors.Oct. 9, 2024 — With protesters gathered outside, State Police displayed a video in Delgado-Garcia’s honor on a day he should have been graduating with his fellow recruits.Dec. 13, 2024 — As months pass, supporters tried to keep Delgado-Garcia’s name in the public spotlight.Aug. 27, 2025 — Delgado-Garcia’s cause of death is publicly released by his family’s attorney. The autopsy report describing bleeding in the brain caused by blunt force injuries to the head... which only intensified questions about how a training exercise ended with a promising life lost.From state leaders, there has been no update or explanation about the tragic death or where things stand with an independent investigation that has surpassed $300,000, according to the most recent records we receivedWhat happens next...In the wake of Delgado-Garcia’s death, the boxing program at the academy was suspended and State Police launched an independent assessment of the academy, including training methods, attrition and injury rates, injury prevention, fitness standards, organizational culture, leadership and alignment with national standards. In May, State Police announced a series of reforms and noted that an outside agency was being brought in for further assessment.

In the days since the assassination of conservative figure Charlie Kirk, institutions from airlines to schools have moved quickly to discipline employees accused of celebrating or mocking his death, a reflection of the charged atmosphere surrounding the killing.On the right, some have called for the aggressive punishment of anyone seen condoning his assassination. Former adviser to President Donald Trump and right-wing podcaster Steve Bannon called for mass arrests and a crackdown on universities, while Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth has directed staff to identify and discipline service members who mocked or condoned Kirk’s killing, two defense officials told NBC News.Charlie Kirk in Glendale, Ariz., on Aug. 23, 2024.Kirk was one of the right’s most prominent and polarizing voices. He built his following by amplifying the false claim that the 2020 election was stolen and by railing against what he called “woke” culture. His comments on race, feminism, LGBTQ rights and immigration often drew sharp criticism, sparking campus protests when he visited and making him a lighting rod for mockery and inspiration.Kirk was the 31-year-old co-founder of conservative youth organization Turning Point USA, a nonprofit that promotes conservative politics on high school and college campuses nationwide. He was fatally shot Wednesday during an event at Utah Valley University.Officials on Friday identified 22-year-old Tyler Robinson, now in custody, as a suspect in his murder.AirlinesSince Kirk’s assassination Wednesday, terminations and disciplinary actions against employees have mounted across industries.Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy called for the firing of American Airlines pilots accused of celebrating Kirk’s death. The pilots were “immediately grounded and removed from service,” according to Duffy.“We heal as a country when we send the message that glorifying political violence is COMPLETELY UNACCEPTABLE!” he wrote on X.American Airlines confirmed it had “initiated action to address this,” emphasizing that “hate-related or hostile behavior runs contrary to our purpose, which is to care for people on life’s journey.”Delta Air Lines also announced it had suspended employees pending an investigation after they shared social media posts that “went well beyond healthy, respectful debate.” The airline did not disclose details about the posts, but said that violations of the company’s social media policy can lead to termination.Schools and universitiesIdaho’s West Ada School District said it fired an employee who allegedly posted a video online. The school district did not elaborate on the contents of the video but said in a statement that it was “shocked and saddened” by it.“West Ada remains committed to nurturing and supporting our students and families, and to addressing harmful actions thoughtfully, with care, and with a focus on doing what is right,” the school district said in a statement.Arizona21 hours agoCharlie Kirk's memorial service to be held at State Farm Stadium in ArizonaUtah24 hours agoThey witnessed Charlie Kirk's assassination. Now students reckon with the griefIn Oregon, a middle school science teacher was placed on administrative leave for posting on Facebook that Kirk’s death “brightened up” his day, NBC affiliate KGW reported. The teacher ultimately resigned.South Carolina’s Clemson University announced Saturday that an employee was suspended pending further investigation after they made social media posts about Kirk’s death. The university did not share the contents of the posts and said it was also thoroughly reviewing posts made by other employees in response to Kirk’s death.“Clemson University remains committed to upholding the principles of the U.S. Constitution and the employment laws of the State of South Carolina,” the university said in a statement.The actions at Clemson prompted Sen. Lindsey Graham, R-S.C., to post, “Free speech doesn’t prevent you from being fired if you’re stupid and have poor judgement.”Health care sectorThe University of Miami’s health system announced that it fired an employee after “unacceptable public commentary,” but did not elaborate on what the individual said.“Freedom of speech is a fundamental right,” the statement read. “At the same time, expressions that condone or endorse violence or are incompatible with our policies or values are not acceptable.”A Children’s Healthcare of Atlanta employee was fired after making “inappropriate comments” about Kirk’s killing Friday.“This type of rhetoric is not acceptable for Children’s employees and violates our social media policy,” a spokesperson for the health care center said in a statement.In Portage, Michigan, an Office Depot employee was fired after allegedly refusing to print flyers about Charlie Kirk at a customer’s request. The specific contents of the flyer are not clear at this time.Office Depot called the incident deeply concerning, adding that the employee’s behavior “is completely unacceptable and insensitive, violates our company policies, and does not reflect the values” of the company.“We are committed to reinforcing training with all team members to ensure our standards of respect, integrity, and customer service are upheld at every location,” the company said in a statement.The investigation into Kirk’s death is ongoing.Jay Varela, Erick Mendoza, Janat Batra and Austin Mullen contributed.

It’s feeling a lot like fall this weekend! In fact, we’re tracking comfortable weather here in Boston with high temperatures in the low to mid 70s today and Sunday. Highs will touch the upper 70s to near 80 degrees MetroWest. Our average high temperature in Boston this time of the year is 74 degrees.While we’re not expecting a washout, there could be a few showers in our area this weekend. Today, a weak weather system moving through the region could produce a few spotty showers here and there in Greater Boston. Otherwise, we’ll see partly sunny skies. Then, tomorrow, a cold front will swing through our area, giving way to a few isolated showers. Southeastern Massachusetts will likely see the best chance of wet weather on Sunday, but a few showers around Boston aren’t out of the question. No severe weather is expected this weekend.With the front to our east by Monday, our high temperatures will sink into the upper 60s and lower 70s with plenty of sunshine. And guess what? More sunshine is in the forecast for Tuesday and Wednesday. Highs will warm into the mid to upper 70s.By the way, the first day of fall is next Monday, Sept. 22 at 2:19 p.m. ET.Have a great weekend!

Hundreds of South Korean workers detained in a U.S. immigration raid arrived in Seoul on Friday, ending a weeklong ordeal that has created business uncertainty and strained relations with a key U.S. ally.More than 300 South Koreans — 307 men and 10 women — were among 475 people detained in the Sept. 4 raid on a Hyundai facility in Georgia by U.S. immigration and other federal officials who said they were investigating allegations of unlawful employment practices.The Korean Air plane was also carrying 14 employees of South Korean companies from China, Japan and Indonesia, while one of the 317 South Koreans decided to remain in the United States rather than agree to “voluntary departure.”Dozens of television cameras were set up behind security barriers at Incheon International Airport outside Seoul to capture the workers returning home with dignity, in what South Korean officials hope will be a salve for a public that was shocked and angered by images of their compatriots being shackled and treated like criminals by U.S. immigration officials.A man protesting in the terminal held up a sign that read in part, “Do we keep investing in the U.S. despite backstabbing?”Another unfurled a banner showing a likeness of President Donald Trump in an Immigration and Customs Enforcement uniform carrying a bag of cash. It read: “We’re friends. Aren’t we?”A banner showing a depiction of Donald Trump is displayed by a protester at Incheon International Airport in Incheon on Sept. 12, 2025. (Photo by ANTHONY WALLACE/AFP via Getty Images)The workers came out of the baggage claim in groups, accompanied by officials and police officers. Some waved, some carried bags or other belongings, and many were wearing masks. There was some applause from onlookers as each new group emerged.More than a dozen buses parked outside the arrivals area waited to take the returning workers to be reunited with their families elsewhere.South Korean workers arrive at Incheon International Airport in Seoul on Friday. (Photo by ANTHONY WALLACE/AFP via Getty Images)The plane, which was chartered by the South Korean government, took off from Hartsfield-Jackson Atlanta International Airport around noon ET on Thursday, a day after South Korean officials had originally hoped.The South Korean foreign ministry said Trump delayed the repatriation in order to discuss with South Korea whether its detained nationals should remain in the U.S. to continue their work helping to set up an electric vehicle battery plant being jointly built by South Korean companies Hyundai and LG Energy Solution.South Korean officials said it would be best for them to return home first after spending a week in ICE detention.The workers were released shortly after 2 a.m. ET Thursday from the Folkston ICE Processing Center in rural Georgia, without any physical restraints such as handcuffs — one of South Korea’s main demands in negotiations with U.S. officials.Construction on the $4.3 billion battery plant, part of a bigger complex in the town of Ellabell that is expected to create about 8,500 American jobs, has been delayed by at least two to three months, a spokesperson for Hyundai North America confirmed to NBC News on Thursday, citing Hyundai chief executive Jose Munoz.Of the detained South Koreans, 47 were employed by LG Energy Solution and the rest were hired by subcontractors. Hyundai, South Korea’s largest automaker, said none of its direct employees were detained.In a statement, LG Energy Solution apologized to the workers and their families and thanked the South Korean government and others who worked to secure their release.“We are profoundly thankful for the extraordinary efforts to not only ensure an unusually swift release but also to carefully address various concerns, including guaranteeing that there will be no disadvantages upon re-entry,” the company said.“Above all, our company deeply empathizes with the hardship endured by those affected.”The workers were in the U.S. under various short-term visa programs that are commonly used for business trips but whose exact guidelines aren’t always clear. Many in South Korea have questioned the fairness of the Trump administration suddenly cracking down on a practice the U.S. has tolerated for years.The incident has raised concerns about the potential impact on business ties with South Korea, which has pledged $500 billion in U.S. investment, including $26 billion from Hyundai, as part of tariff negotiations.ImmigrationSep 10Construction workers fleeing ICE raid climb fences around CIA headquartersImmigrationSep 10Teachers sue over Trump's immigration crackdown, saying students are staying homeSouth Korean President Lee Jae Myung, who met with Trump at the White House just weeks before the raid, said Thursday that it could make companies more hesitant to invest in the U.S.Art Wheaton, director of labor studies at Cornell University’s School of Industrial and Labor Relations, said it was standard practice for experts from other countries to travel to the U.S. to set up and install high-tech equipment, especially when it involves patents or other sensitive information such as battery cells for electric vehicles.The jobs created by projects such as the Hyundai-LG battery plant are difficult for American workers to do if they haven’t been properly trained by those experts, he said.“It’s not a good look when the South Korean government has to charter a plane to bring its citizens home over alleged visa inconsistencies,” Wheaton said. “It sends a message to other potential foreign investors that building plants here carries risk of arrest or detainment.”About 145 workers from other countries, including Guatemala, Colombia, Chile, Mexico, Ecuador and Venezuela, remain in detention after the raid. The Korean Metal Workers’ Union and the United Auto Workers called for their release, saying their employers had forced them to shoulder the visa risk.“Capital must stop shifting the burden of identified crises onto the backs of workers and instead take full responsibility for ensuring a safe work environment,” they said in a statement Thursday.Janis Mackey Frayer and Ed Flanagan reported from Incheon, Jennifer Jett from Hong Kong and Stella Kim from Los Angeles.
