No. There’s no definitive evidence that they were killed by the IDF. If you have concrete evidence feel free to post it
Survivor of Be'eri Hadas Dagan disagrees. She describes the attack on her home that killed her whole family and says it was clearly IDF.

The yen is in the toilet because the BOJ has refused to raise rates. You can borrow yen for next to zero interest and get paid 4% if you buy US treasuries. Thats why the yen is in the toilet. Japans economic outlook hasnt fundamentally deteriorated since Covid, but the currency situation has been very poorly managed.

Posted in: Yen slumps to upper 160 range against dollar despite intervention threat See in context
Are these "structural problems " or currency manipulation by giant players outside Japan. ?
Financial institutions can borrow vast amounts of yen at basically zero interest and buy US treasuries for 5% profit / year. The only way the yen will get any lasting relief is if the FED cuts interest rates, and the BOJ raises them.

Hamas will be the death of Israel, they must be stopped at all cost.
Hamas has never had the capacity to destroy Israel. Hezbollah on the other hand does, and Netanyahu wants a war with them too. The man in insane.
Last week a senior Israeli energy official made it very clear how screwed Israel would be if Hezbollah took out their energy infrastructure. Something that is well within Hezbollahs capabilities.
