Multiple rockets fired from Gaza
IDF strikes Hamas targets following Gaza rocket fire
The Israeli military on Sunday said three rockets were fired by Palestinian terrorists in the Gaza Strip toward southern Israel. The barrage set off air-raid sirens in southern Israel. Israel’s Channel 12 TV said two rockets landed in open areas, causing no damage or injuries.A third projectile was intercepted by Israeli air defenses. There was no immediate Israeli reaction, although the military usually responds to rocket fire with airstrikes on Hamas terror targets in Gaza. Tensions have also been rising as Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu prepares to extend Israeli sovereignty over Jewish communities in Judea and Samaria.

Lebanese border town sounds alarm over Syrian ‘takeover’
Residents of Tfail, a Lebanese farming community on the border with Syria, say they are powerless to stop their farmland being destroyed by bulldozers watched over by gunmen who appear intent on taking control of the town. According to anxious residents, confusion over the boundary between Lebanon and Syrian is adding to the problem, with many sections of the border yet to be demarcated. The issue has drawn the attention of Lebanese leaders, with former prime minister and head of the Future Parliamentary Bloc Saad Hariri last Tuesday voicing his “deepest concerns” over developments in the village.

SYRIA PREPARES FOR MILITARY CONFRONTATION WITH TURKEY IN NORTHEAST
The Syrian Army and the National Defense Forces have put their forces on high alert in response to the new round of aggressive actions by the Turkish Army and its proxies in northeastern Syria. Several convoys of government forces, including several T-62M battle tanks and a number of trucks equipped with heavy machine guns, deployed to the countryside of Ayn Issa after intense Turkish artillery strikes on positions of the Kurdish-led Syrian Democratic Forces and the army near al-Nuyhat in northern al-Hasakah and Hushanah in northern Raqqah. Another group of government troops deployed near the town of Tell Tamr. According to local sources, the recent Turkish strikes led to no casualties among civilians or military personnel. Nonetheless, regular Turkish attacks on these areas in fact turned a large part of the territory located relatively close to the Turkish-occupied area into a no man’s land. Syrian state media also reported that Turkey set up a new training camp for its proxies northwest of Tell Tamr.

Air defenses respond to rocket attack on US Embassy in Baghdad
Iraq sets up border posts to try to prevent Turkish advance
Air defense systems responded to a rocket attack on the US Embassy in Baghdad on Saturday night, according to Al-Arabiya. The eastern entrance of the “Green Zone” in Baghdad where the embassy is located was reportedly closed after the attack. The rocket reportedly fell near a number of protesters near the suspension bridge in the Green Zone. The rocket attack on Saturday took place after a number of rocket attacks near the US Embassy in Baghdad and other US military sites in recent weeks. Meanwhile, Iraqi troops were enforcing positions along the border with Turkey, officials said Friday, to prevent Turkish forces from advancing deeper into Iraqi territory after two weeks of airstrikes as Ankara continues to target Kurdish rebels in northern Iraq. Security officials said Ankara has established at least a dozen posts inside Iraqi territory as part of a military campaign to rout members of the Kurdistan Worker’s Party, or PKK, who Turkey says have safe havens in northern Iraq. The airborne-and-land campaign, dubbed “Operation Claw-Tiger,” began June 17 when Turkey airlifted troops into northern Iraq.

Iran Reveals Accident at Nuclear Site Caused ‘Significant’ Damage
Gantz: Not everything that happens in Iran is connected to us
The incident happened on Thursday at a warehouse under construction at the Natanz complex in central Iran, but caused no casualties or radioactive pollution, according to the Islamic republic’s nuclear body. Security officials called it an accident and said they had determined the cause, without providing any further explanation. “There were no victims… but the damage is significant on a financial level,” Iranian Atomic Energy Organisation spokesman Behrouz Kamalvandi said in an interview published Sunday by state news agency IRNA. Iran restarted enriching uranium at Natanz last September, despite having agreed under the accord to put such activities there on hold. Tehran has always denied its nuclear programme has any military dimension.

Libya gov’t vows response after base hit by ‘foreign air force’
Libya’s UN-recognized government on Sunday condemned overnight air raids against a recently recaptured airbase in the west of the country saying the attack was carried out by a “foreign air force”. Fighters loyal to the Government of National Accord (GNA) seized back the al-Watiya airbase, 140km (90 miles) southwest of the capital Tripoli, from troops aligned with renegade military commander Khalifa Haftar in May.”The raids last night against Al-Watiya base were carried out by a … foreign air force in support of the war criminal [Haftar] in a miserable and desperate attempt to achieve a morale boosting victory,” GNA Deputy Defence Minister Salah al-Namrush said in a statement. Turkey’s state news agency Anadolu, quoting an unnamed GNA military official, said the raid against al-Watiya was carried out by “unidentified planes” and there were no casualties.

Baltimore protesters toppled a Christopher Columbus statue and threw it in a harbor
While much of the country celebrated Independence Day Saturday, protesters in Baltimore toppled a statue of Christopher Columbus and threw it into the Inner Harbor, CNN affiliate WBAL reported. The statue has stood by Little Italy for more than 30 years and is the latest to come down in recent weeks amid protests. Both crowds of demonstrators and local orders have removed other tributes to Columbus, Confederate leaders and other controversial figures representing racist parts of America’s history. On Wednesday, the mayor of Richmond, Virginia, invoked his emergency powers to remove multiple Confederate monuments throughout the city, including a statue honoring Confederate Gen. Thomas “Stonewall” Jackson. Last month, a judge ordered the removal of a Confederate monument in an Atlanta suburb. In other parts of the country, controversial symbols were toppled by protesters, including a group in Portland, Oregon, who pulled down a statue of George Washington last month and set its head on fire. In Richmond, Virginia, crowds took down the statue Jefferson Davis, the president of the Confederacy, a day after toppling a Columbus statue.

China issues warning following U.S. aircraft carrier drills
China condemned U.S. aircraft carrier drills in the South China Sea, as state media claimed the exercises were a showy display of “paper tigers” in waters China has claimed as its own. Beijing’s foreign ministry spokesman Zhao Lijian suggested Monday at a regular press briefing the U.S. military’s deployment of aircraft carriers may have an underlying motive that threatens regional security. The U.S. exercises “interfere with the relations among countries in the South China Sea, and undermine peace and stability in the region,” Zhao said. On Saturday, Rear Adm. George Wikoff, the strike group commander, said the USS Ronald Reagan and USS Nimitz carriers sailed into an area of the South China Sea for training purposes. The drills came after Beijing conducted its own exercises near the China-claimed Paracel Islands from Wednesday to Sunday.

Goldman Sachs cuts US GDP estimate, now sees economy shrinking 4.6% in 2020
Revived state restrictions and continued stay-at-home activity will drag on the US economy more than previously expected, Goldman Sachs economists said Saturday. The bank sees gross domestic product growing 25% in the third quarter, down from its previous expectation of a 33% increase. The year’s total economic contraction will worsen to 4.6% from 4.2%, the team led by Jan Hatzius wrote in a note to clients. The downward revision is largely fueled by a slower-than-expected recovery in consumer spending. The recent resurgence in coronavirus cases has kept Americans from returning to restaurants, travel, and retailers. Stunted spending on key services will likely push a consumer comeback into September, the team said.

Michigan Passes Controversial Bill To Microchip Humans Voluntarily To Protect Their Privacy
The Michigan House of Representatives has passed a controversial bill to microchip humans voluntarily in the state under the guise of protecting their privacy. The Microchip Protection Act would allow Michigan employers to use microchipping of their workers with their consent. The plan to microchip humans is sponsored by Rep. Bronna Kahle under the guise of protecting the privacy of workers. The stated objective of the bill is that it will protect the privacy rights of Michigan workers and promote further growth for job providers as it relates to microchipping – a cutting-edge technology on the rise that increases workplace efficiency.

Japan explores universally accessible and resilient central bank digital currency system
The Bank of Japan is set to launch a central bank digital currency. According to recent updates, a report was published on the 2nd of July by the Bank of Japan(Boj) in which the organization considers creating a digital version of the country’s currency–The Yen. However, for this proposed digital money to become achievable and generally accepted in the nation, it must be flexible and universally accessible. This simply means that every citizen should be able to utilize the central bank digital currency including people without smartphones. To make this viable, the Bank of Japan is most likely to curate a variety of specialized terminals. Currently, the BoJ hasn’t decided on whether to use distributed ledger technology or a more traditional centralized framework for its CBDC. However, both options are being considered, including some kind of a hybrid system, depending on the circumstances.

Top Anglican Archbishop Claims ‘Jesus Was a Black Man’
Speaking to The Sunday Times, Stephen Cottrell praised the Black Lives Matter (BLM) movement, and said his inauguration this week as a white man replacing outgoing Archbishop John Sentamu — who is black — is “awkward” for the church. “The leadership of the Church of England is still too white, and I hope under my watch we’ll see further changes on that,” he said, asserting that the church has work to do “addressing the deep systemic issues of exclusion and prejudice”. Cottrell, who The Times describes as “a liberal moderniser”, told the newspaper he wanted to celebrate BLM and was certain that Jesus Christ would have joined in with their protests, many of which have erupted into violence in cities across the West. During the interview, he praised “the inclusion of women in leadership” within the church but confessed to being “very frustrated often at the pace of change”. Cottrell went on to affirm his support for “LGBTQ+ Christians”, stating that pastoral guidance maintaining church teaching that heterosexual marriage ‘remains the proper context for sexual activity’ should have “been worded more carefully”.

Nine of the weekend’s victims were minors, and two children died, officials told Fox32. That includes 14-year-old boy who was among four people who were killed in the South Side neighborhood Englewood on Saturday evening. The victims were at a large gathering on the street at around 11:35 p.m. on South Carpenter Street. Four males then approached the group and began shooting, police said, adding that the 14-year-old boy was shot in the back before he was taken to Comer Children’s Hospital, where he was later pronounced dead. The three other males, who were not identified, were pronounced dead at the scene and at the University of Chicago Medical Center, police said.

California governor bans singing in church
While you can still attend in-person church services in California, you can’t sing. The state, to curb a rapidly worsening pandemic, has temporarily banned singing and chanting in places of worship. “Practices and performances present an increased likelihood for transmission of COVID-19 through contaminated exhaled droplets and should occur through alternative methods like internet streaming,” the state’s Department of Public Health announced in an order Wednesday. Singing at services has proven to be one way to spread a virus, according to the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. The agency studied how coronavirus spread from one member to 87% of the singers at a Washington choir practice and said in a report: “The act of singing, itself, might have contributed to transmission through emission of aerosols, which is affected by loudness of vocalization.”

COVID-19 is close to losing its epidemic status in the U.S., according to the CDC
The percentage of coronavirus deaths in the country has been declining for ten straight weeks. Coronavirus deaths in the country have nearly reached a level where the virus will cease to qualify as an epidemic under Centers for Disease Control and Prevention rules, the federal agency reported on Friday. The CDC qualifies a disease outbreak as an “epidemic” if the number of deaths attributable to the disease exceeds a certain percentage of total deaths per week. The latest data show that the percentage of deaths in the country attributable to those factors had as of the last week in June reached its lowest point since the end of last year, becoming “equal to the [current] epidemic threshold of 5.9%,” the CDC said. Though infections are significantly up in some places, deaths throughout the country have remained flat, due likely to several factors including a younger cohort of infections as well as improved treatment methods.

Bunny Ebola’ killing thousands of pet rabbits in Southwestern U.S.
A deadly virus is killing thousands of domestic rabbits throughout the Southwestern United States. The highly contagious illness, rabbit hemorrhagic disease virus (RHDV2), which affects rabbits, hares, and pikas, has been dubbed “bunny Ebola” by some, Dr. Amanda Jones, a veterinarian in Texas, told The Cut earlier this week. Though the quick-moving virus is “not related in any way, shape, or form” to Ebola, the ways in which it damages the body — including system-wide inflammation and in many cases, hemorrhaging — appear similar. In addition to destroying liver cells and causing hepatitis, the virus leads to lesions on organs like the heart or lungs which result in internal bleeding. The USDA notes that between 50 and 70% of animals who get RHDV2 will die. About 1,100 rabbits succumbed to the disease between March and June of this year.
