"Live from MPR news, I'm child Snyder, and Gaza, the violence of war has coll...

one of Islam's holiest holidays."

Listen, two weeks after Israel killed at how a top-hamma's military commander Israel

has killed his successor. And here's on Osbaba, reports from Gaza City. MPR observed three missiles living in an apartment on one of Gaza's busiest streets Tuesday night. There was no warning.

The strike killed Muhammad Aouda, who had only recently taken command of Hamas's armdrink. Gaza hold the official say, "His wife, two sons, and daughter were also killed. Their funeral was held on the Muslim holiday aid al-Apha." Just days ago, thousands gathered to bury his predecessor, as Zidin Al-Hadad. Israel describes these men as the architects of the October 7 attack in 2023.

Even during one of the holiest moments of the year of the Muslims, the war does not pose. For now, the cycle of succession and the cycle of death continues. And a small ball and purely news goes to the state. "Amit, a shaky ceasefire, the U.S. military has carried out strikes targeting Iran for a

second time in three days, U.S. officials, as they were conducted purely for self-defense.

But our officials are putting investigation into the deadly implosion of a chemical tank in Washington state. The rupture happened Wednesday at a paper mill in Longview. The death toll is climbed at two, but nine others remain unaccounted for, as Oregon Public Broadcasting's Conrad Wilson reports." Authorities say they don't expect to find any more survivors from Tuesday's rupture of a

900,000 gallon chemical tank at the Nippon Dina Wave Packaging Company in Longview. Governor Bob Ferguson says the impacts to the community and families are profound. "We're embracing ourselves for this being the deadliest industrial tragedy in modern Washington state history." Officials say, "Eroquality and drinking water in Longview are not affected by the chemicals,

though some did spill into the Columbia River. The federal chemical safety and hazards investigation board announced it has opened an investigation into the rupture. For MPR News, I'm Conrad Wilson, in Portland." "Boters and taxes set up a key Senate racist week in an November election, advancing controversial state attorney general Ken Paxton over Longtime Senator John Coranan and Tuesday's Republican

runoff. Please, Gany, is with the Texas Newsroom." "You know, I think what it really says is that, you know, in a Republican primary runoff, it's going to be the most extreme voters that come on in vote. And therefore, we get the most extreme candidate, which Paxton with the Trump endorsement sort of gets that nod. But the real question will be moving forward whether or not Republicans as a whole will choose the back and

remember, this is a runoff. It's only about 1.4 million people cast ballots. In this race,

in the general election, it'll be a lot closer to 8 million people. That's what we saw in 2022."

"Paxton will face Democrat James Taloreco this fall. This is MPR News." Bangladesh is facing a measles outbreak that's claimed more than 500 lives since mid-March. MPR's Gabriella Manuel reports most of the second dead or children under the age of five. "Mesals patients have overwhelmed the country's medical system. Some patients are being treated on hospital floors. Others are sharing beds. Muhammad Kamal's two-year-old daughter has measles."

"I've seen four hospitals before, finally getting admitted to this one." This outbreak is the result of an interim government in 2024 overhauling the country's vaccine program. That caused vaccine shortages. Now, a new government has launched a measles of vaccination campaign. But experts say it may take a month or more to see the impact. And they're especially worried because this week is a school holiday when many families travel

and could spread the virus further. Gabriella Emmanuel and PR News.
