Israel struck sites across Syria

Since Sunday, when it became clear that Syria was undergoing a historic change of regime, Israel has waged a sweeping aerial campaign. At least 350 airstrikes have leveled military assets across the country, taking out the Navy, fighter jets, drones, tanks, air-defense systems, weapons plants and other supplies, according to the Israeli military.

Israeli ground forces have also made their first overt entry into Syrian territory in more than 50 years. The U.N. special envoy for Syria called on Israel to halt its military operations.

Israeli military officials characterized the operations as defensive, saying it was striking suspected chemical weapons stockpiles to prevent them from falling “into the hands of extremists.” The rebel group that led the toppling of the president, Bashar al-Assad, was formerly linked to Al Qaeda and is still designated as a terrorist group by the U.S. and the U.N.

Even as rebels try to build a government after taking Damascus, armed groups with competing interests are still fighting for territory and power. In northern Syria, fierce fighting took place yesterday between rebels supported by Turkey and Kurdish forces backed by the U.S.

A Gazan hospital in peril

Dozens of wounded patients in the Indonesian Hospital in the northern Gaza Strip are in danger of dying because of a dire absence of basic supplies like food and water, local health authorities said.

“The humanitarian situation inside the hospital has become extremely dangerous, as the wounded lack basic needs,” the health ministry in Gaza said, calling on the international community to intervene “to save the lives of these patients.”

The Israeli military has continued intense airstrikes and operations in northern Gaza over the past several weeks, in an effort to stamp out what it has called a Hamas resurgence. On Monday night, 25 people were killed in an airstrike on a house in Beit Hanoun, a town in northern Gaza, a spokesman for the Palestinian Civil Defense emergency service said.

Context: Since the renewed Israeli offensive in northern Gaza began, the U.N. has repeatedly warned of catastrophic living conditions and the risk of famine for some 400,000 civilians there.

In Israel: Eight years after the police started investigating him, and four years after his trial began, Israel’s prime minister, Benjamin Netanyahu, took the stand on corruption charges for the first time. Here’s our breakdown of the case.

A suspect in the killing of a C.E.O. will fight extradition

A suspect in the assassination of the chief executive of UnitedHealthcare in Midtown Manhattan will fight extradition to New York to face murder charges, potentially keeping him in custody in Pennsylvania, his lawyer said.

The suspect, Luigi Mangione, 26, was charged late Monday in Manhattan with second-degree murder, forgery and three gun charges. He saw the killing as a “symbolic takedown,” according to a New York Police Department internal report that detailed parts of a three-page manifesto found with him at the time of his arrest in Altoona, Pa.

Brian Thompson, the executive, was laid to rest this week at a private funeral service in his Minnesota hometown. He was a devoted father and committed to his career, friends and family said.

On the ground: As he arrived at his extradition hearing yesterday in Hollidaysburg, Pa., near Altoona, Mangione struggled against officers, shouting to reporters, “That’s completely out of touch, and an insult to the intelligence of the American people.” It wasn’t clear in the moment what he was referring to.

More on the suspect: He was an Ivy League tech graduate who had suffered physical and psychological pain in recent months.

The Poor Clares of Belorado, a group of nuns in northern Spain, are digging in their heels in a battle of wills over real estate with the Catholic Church. The Vatican had excommunicated the sisters, and a local archbishop had threatened them with eviction. Their disinclination to leave their convents has effectively turned them into squatters.

How Netflix brought a magical town to life

The town of Macondo — the imaginary setting for Gabriel García Márquez’s novel “One Hundred Years of Solitude” — never existed. It was never supposed to. And yet, here it is.

In a rambling field outside the Colombian city of Ibagué, Netflix built the town from the ground up for the first screen adaptation of the novel. Real birds nest in its trees, and dogs wander its narrow streets. Here’s how they did it.
