有片/13歲巴勒斯坦男孩放煙火被視為挑釁 下秒遭以警擊斃
以色列東耶路撒冷(East Jerusalem)地區12日發生一起悲劇,一名年僅13歲的巴勒斯坦少年被指控向以色列安全部隊「射擊煙火」,遭當地駐警槍殺。綜合以巴與歐美外媒報導,當事少年名為哈爾烏利(Rami Hamdan Al-Halhouli),居住在耶路撒冷的舒亞法特難民營(Shuafat refugee camp),因為槍傷過重而在送往醫院後死亡。但從以色列駐警的紀錄,12日晚間在舒亞法特發生的是「一場騷亂」,現場有人投擲燃燒彈,甚至直接對著安全部隊「射擊煙火」。警方在該地區近期增派更多邊境駐警,應對齋月初期的高度緊張情勢,以防再有衝突發生。

Taiwan’s MND touts success of drug-sniffing dog teams
The Ministry of National Defense in Taipei showcased its drug prevention program’s accomplishments, emphasizing the effectiveness of its narcotics detection dog teams. Since December last year, 18 additional dogs have been added to these teams, allowing regions across Taiwan to request their services for drug-sniffing operations within military camps.

Since 2020, three narcotics-detection canines have completed their service term, with replacements already trained and deployed. The defense ministry conducted 467 drug-sniffing missions within military bases this year through mobilization, camp applications, and operational zone assignments. Additionally, over 1.13 million urine screenings have been conducted among military personnel, with positive results leading to prosecutions and the removal of implicated individuals from service.

以色列擬引海水灌入哈瑪斯地道 挨轟不怕害死無辜人質
以色列與哈瑪斯(Hamas)在加薩(Gaza)的衝突進度新階段,雙方在停火破裂後,武裝衝突規模絲毫未減,也持續造成更多平民死傷。多家外媒引述《華爾街日報》(WSJ)報導,傳出以色列已完成設置5組幫浦系統,位於加薩北部的沙提難民營(Al-Shati refugee camp)附近,只要啟動、每小時能抽取數千立方公尺的海水,灌入哈瑪斯的地下迷宮大本營,逼迫他們出來面對面決戰。但這個決策卻也遭到外界質疑,還有這麼多人質尚未獲釋,以軍難道不怕引海水灌地道,會害死那些無辜的人質嗎?

Unauthorized photography around military bases prohibited
Taiwan’s Minister of National Defense, Chiu Kuo-cheng, stated that the Ministry will not interfere with general aviation enthusiasts taking photographs, but any behavior involving scaling walls to capture military installations will be considered reconnaissance activities. This announcement was made during a review of the draft "Military Base Security Maintenance Regulations" bill at the Legislative Yuan’s Foreign and National Defense Committee. According to the draft bill, unauthorized reconnaissance activities directed at military camp areas, such as measurement, filming, photography, depiction, or description, can result in fines ranging from NT$30,000 to NT$150,000 if they compromise national security. The committee discussed potential issues related to dash cameras unintentionally filming the area or residents of high-rise buildings next to a base. Deputy Chief of Combat Planning, Chen Wen-Hsing, clarified that the draft bill mainly targets harmful reconnaissance activities, while general photography activities remain unaffected. Minister Chiu emphasized that unauthorized photography in restricted areas is considered reconnaissance. Kuomintang legislator Chen I-hsin raised concerns about possible conflicts between existing "Vital Area Regulations" and the proposed new law, suggesting the incorporation of maintaining military base security into existing regulations as a specific chapter.

Ko is the main force splitting KMT votes: Yao Li-ming
The story discusses the role of Ko Wen-je, chairman of the Taiwan People’s Party (TPP), in splitting the Kuomintang (KMT) votes since the 2018 Taipei Mayoral election. Yao Li-ming, campaign director for Democratic Progressive Party (DPP) presidential hopeful Lai Ching-te, claims that the DPP’s decision to nominate Pasuya Yao for the mayoral race was a strategic move to distinguish themselves from Ko. Yao also highlights how Ko has shifted his focus away from securing the green camp’s vote in the 2022 election. Additionally, Yao argues that the KMT and TPP cannot form a union due to their differing natures and suggests that the potential candidacy of Foxconn founder Terry Gou has a greater impact on Ko and Hou than on Lai.
