 Texas man arrested with 75 pounds of marijuana in luggage while flying to London, police say A Texas man was arrested at Miami International Airport after authorities found 75 pounds of marijuana in his luggage before he could board a flight to London. Harrison O’Neill Tiernan, 23, from Austin, was charged with cannabis trafficking. He was traveling to Heathrow Airport and had checked two suitcases for his British Airways flight. Inspectors discovered 65 vacuum-sealed packages containing a green, leafy substance later confirmed to be marijuana. U.S. Customs and Border Protection officers stopped Tiernan while he attempted to board the flight, and he acknowledged that the bags were his. Authorities noted the inspections were part of broader efforts at the airport due to high outbound narcotics activity. In total, Tiernan was carrying 34.01 kilograms, or 74.98 pounds, of marijuana.

 Israeli forces kill four aid workers near Gaza City, hospital, and witnesses report

Israeli forces killed four Palestinians seeking aid on Sunday while traveling through a military zone south of Gaza City, according to a hospital and eyewitnesses. The area is frequently used by residents attempting to reach food distribution points.

The deaths underscore growing humanitarian concerns as parts of Gaza face famine and Israel prepares for an offensive in the city’s northern districts. A U.N.-backed assessment recently declared famine in Gaza City, warning it could spread without a ceasefire or eased aid restrictions, though Israel disputes the findings. Witnesses said the four were shot as troops opened fire on a crowd approaching a site run by the Gaza Humanitarian Foundation. Survivors described indiscriminate gunfire, with some people falling after being hit.

The incident is part of a wider pattern at aid distribution sites, where hundreds of Palestinians have been killed while seeking food or medical assistance. The Hamas-run Health Ministry reports more than 62,000 deaths overall in the conflict, including nearly 290 malnutrition-related deaths, with children among the casualties. Half of those killed are reported to be women and children.

Residents in Gaza City and surrounding areas described nonstop explosions and widespread destruction as Israel intensifies operations ahead of a potential offensive. Many displaced families remain in densely populated shelters despite ongoing airstrikes and military activity. Witnesses reported seeing homes razed and neighborhoods flattened, with some alleging efforts to forcibly remove civilians.

The looming operation threatens the lives of hundreds of thousands of residents in northern Gaza, an area Israel considers a Hamas stronghold. The conflict began after Hamas-led militants attacked Israel on October 7, 2023, killing around 1,200 people and abducting 251, with roughly 50 hostages still in Gaza.
