Read More Latin American Herald Tribune: Israel Boosts Security Measures in Gaza amid Rising Tensions PRN-Caribbean News from Michael_Novakhov (15 sites) Israel Boosts Security Measures in Gaza amid Rising Tensions JERUSALEM – The Israeli authorities on Monday tightened security measures around the Gaza Strip following clashes that have killed an army official and wounded another, according to the Israeli military.The Gaza Health Ministry said an exchange of fire erupted Sunday night when Israeli forces claimed they were carrying out a military operation near the southern Gaza city of Khan Younis, which resulted in the deaths of seven Palestinians aged between 19-37 and left seven others injured.“During IDF (Israeli Defense Forces) special forces’ operational activity in Gaza, an exchange of fire broke out, during which an IDF officer was killed and an additional IDF officer was moderately injured,” the Israeli army tweeted.The IDF added that, after the gunfire, 17 missiles were fired from Gaza at the Israeli territory, three of which were intercepted by the Iron Dome.The Israeli authorities, in response, shut down the Israeli railway line from Ashkelon to Sderot, as well as schools in the Israeli communities adjacent to Gaza.Meanwhile, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who was in Paris along with other world leaders to commemorate the centenary of the end of World War I, cut short his visit to return to Israel to assess the situation.Defense Minister Avigdor Lieberman held an assessment meeting with intelligence and military police officials in Tel Aviv’s IDF headquarters early Monday. Read More Latin American Herald Tribune: UK’s Prince Charles Leads Ceremony for Remembrance Day in London PRN-Caribbean News from Michael_Novakhov (15 sites) UK’s Prince Charles Leads Ceremony for Remembrance Day in London LONDON – The heir to the British throne, Prince Charles, led on Sunday a somber ceremony in London honoring the fallen in World War I on the hundredth anniversary of the armistice that marked an end to the brutal conflict, an event attended by a German president for the first time ever.After a two-minute moment of silence as the Big Ben chimed at 11 am, the Prince of Wales laid a poppy wreath in place of his mother, Queen Elizabeth II – who watched on from a balcony – at the Cenotaph, a war memorial erected on Whitehall, a road housing most government buildings in the center of the United Kingdom’s capital.German President Frank-Walter Steinmeier also laid a wreath in the name of his country – a bitter enemy of the British Empire in WWI – followed by other members of the British royal family such as William, Duke of Cambridge, second in the line of succession to the throne.Prince Charles also offered a floral tribute in the name of his 97-year-old father, Philip, Duke of Edinburgh, who at the end of last year announced his retirement from public life.Other prominent figures such as Prime Minister Theresa May and the leader of the opposition Labour Party, Jeremy Corbyn, then did the same.Representatives from the armed forces and many Commonwealth countries also attended the solemn event.Every attendee wore a pin of a poppy on their lapel, as the flower is traditionally sported to pay homage to British veterans from all wars in the weeks leading up to Remembrance Day.The leading role played by Prince Charles is seen by observers as another step in the ongoing transition within the UK’s royal family due to the advanced age of the reigning monarch, who has reduced the number of her public appearances and trips abroad, instead delegating more and more on her eldest son and heir.
