 Titanic life jacket sells for nearly $1 million at auction as rare artifacts draw record interest    A life jacket worn by a Titanic passenger during the 1912 disaster has sold at auction for 670,000 pounds ($906,000), far exceeding expectations as collectors continue to drive strong demand for rare artifacts from the ill-fated voyage. The preserved flotation device belonged to first-class passenger Laura Mabel Francatelli, who escaped the sinking liner aboard a lifeboat. The item, which also bears signatures from Francatelli and other survivors from the same lifeboat, was the standout piece in a sale of Titanic memorabilia and was purchased by an anonymous telephone bidder. Auction estimates had placed the life jacket between 250,000 and 350,000 pounds, but competitive bidding pushed the final price well beyond that range, including the buyer’s premium.

 At least 11 dead in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza 

Israeli airstrikes on Gaza on Sunday killed at least 11 Palestinians, Palestinian officials reported. One strike struck a camp housing displaced families, leaving four dead, while another in Khan Younis killed five, according to local health authorities.

The Israel Defense Forces said the strikes targeted Hamas militants after alleged ceasefire violations. Military operations in Gaza over the past two years have killed tens of thousands of Palestinians and damaged infrastructure across the territory, prompting global condemnation. U.S. Rep. Alexandria Ocasio-Cortez criticized American aid to Israel, saying it “enabled a genocide in Gaza,” and stressed that the U.S. must uphold laws regulating foreign military support. Last week, President Trump met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to discuss the conflict in Gaza and the broader regional strategy.
