- Israeli forces killed another Hamas commander in their second strike on a Gaza refugee camp, the military said. Palestinians sifted through rubble in a hunt for trapped victims.

- Violence in the Israeli-occupied West Bank, already at a more than 15-year high this year, surged further after Israel hurtled into a new war in the separate enclave of Gaza.

- China lowered its flag in Beijing’s Tiananmen Square amid an outpouring of grief as the country cremated Li Keqiang, known as “the people’s premier” for his down-to-earth, hands-on leadership.

- Storm Ciaran smashed into northern Europe with strong winds and driving rain, killing one person in France and forcing the closure of airports, rail and ferry services, and schools. In Britain, the Channel Islands were among the worst hit areas, with Southern England also badly affected.
- Air pollution, a global scourge that kills millions of people a year, is shielding us from the full force of the sun. Getting rid of it will accelerate climate change.

- Japanese Prime Minister Fumio Kishida said the government will spend over 17 trillion yen ($113 billion) on a package of measures to cushion the economic blow from inflation. Including spending by local governments and state-backed loans, the size of the package will total 21.8 trillion yen.
- A Canadian start-up run from a private home was chosen by the Democratic Republic of Congo for a technically complex project to extract methane from the deep waters of a volatile lake, despite the company not meeting the tender’s financial criteria, documents seen by Reuters show.
