Editor’s Note: This story contains graphic and disturbing accounts of sexual violence. Then he raped her again, said Raz Cohen, a survivor of Hamas’ murderous rampage in Israel on October 7. Cohen saw another young woman shot in the head as he ran to hide in a bush – the spot where he witnessed the rape, he told CNN. After the rape, Cohen told CNN he saw the group go after another woman and a man. “We’ll never know everything that has happened to them,” Elkayam-Levy told CNN in November.

Mendes' account is one of seven given to Reuters by first responders or others dealing with the dead that attest to alleged sexual violence. VICTIMS DEAD, TRAUMATIZEDIn Israeli criminal law, sexual violence includes rape, but also indecent acts, harrassment and sexually demeaning a person – including forced nudity – among other offences. Some of those purporting to show sexual violence could not be authenticated – one seen by Reuters appeared to date to 2021. The news agency verified the locations of two other videos that suggest sexual violence, shared on social media within a day of the attack. Israeli lawyers say its evidentiary requirements on sexual violence are less challenging than Israel's.

But home prices are still on the rise, according to a November 28 note from Selma Hepp, the chief economist at CoreLogic. The outcome is that many remain renters, which drives up demand for rental property and the cost of rent. If the cost of rent is 20% below the price of owning a home monthly, then it may be comparable. Rent prices are based on listings from Rent.com. For example, take the cost of rent over five years; let's say it's $3,000 x 12 months = $36,000 annually.

The significant advantage to buyers is negotiating power, and if done right, it could help offset some of those higher mortgage rates. Below is a list of 20 metro areas with the highest share of home sellers dropping their listing prices in October. The data is based on the top 50 most populated areas as defined by the US Census Bureau. If they need to move by a specific date or need that cash, you can offer a quick closing. More than one-third — or 35% — of home sales in the three months ending October 31 included concessions to buyers, according to Redfin.

Body of Israeli hostage found near Al-Shifa hospital

CNN —A 65-year-old Israeli woman who was kidnapped by Hamas militants on October 7 has been found dead near Gaza’s Al-Shifa hospital, the Israeli military said Thursday. The body of Yehudit Weiss, a resident of kibbutz Be’eri, was found by Israeli soldiers in Gaza City and brought back to Israel, the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) said in a statement. The IDF said her body had been recovered from what it called a “structure” near to the Al-Shifa hospital, where the IDF on Wednesday launched what it called a “precise and targeted” operation against Hamas, which it says has been using the hospital for military purposes. Hamas and hospital officials have consistently rejected Israel’s claims that Hamas has built a command center under the hospital. The Hostages and Missing Person’s Families Forum, a group established by the families of those abducted by Hamas, said Weiss was a 65-year-old grandmother.

With the average 30-year fixed mortgage rate above 7%, sales of existing homes slowed in September to their softest year-on-year pace in 13 years. But if you're spending the same amount on rent as you would on a mortgage payment, buying could still make sense. And that negotiation can even include lowering your mortgage rate, according to Shayowitz. 4 things to considerYou can reduce your interest rate through a permanent buydown. In other words, the seller provides a one-time payment placed in escrow and used to buy down the interest rate permanently.

Luckily, there are ways around the bank, one of which is seller financing, a process that makes the seller also the lender. But if he had to turn to the bank, it would have decreased the property's net profit because of high interest rates. Seller financing isn't common, though it is a more alluring choice when interest rates rise. "People don't think of the strategy because so many people have been used to the low interest rates. When offering an interest rate, start low because it's likely the seller will counter but not low enough that it insults them.

[1/2] The Bank of Israel building is seen in Jerusalem June 16, 2020. Israel's central bank has played its part too with a flurry of support measures, and has stayed away from rate cuts. At the outset of the war, markets were stunned. "The Bank of Israel took very aggressive action," said Gil Moshe, the head of markets at the Israel unit of U.S. bank Citi. Looking to next year, Shmuel Katzavian, a strategist at Israel's Discount Bank, expects the shekel to continue to strengthen.

Opinion: Uncomfortable reality for Biden

We’re looking back at the strongest, smartest opinion takes of the week from CNN and other outlets. He didn’t live to see the allies’ victory in World War II that year or the conference in San Francisco that month that established the United Nations. But his diplomatic efforts to meet with Arab leaders came undone after a devastating explosion at a hospital in Gaza. Biden himself initially supported the US 2003 war in Iraq only to end up as the president who ordered the US pullout of Afghanistan. “This is the politics that Donald Trump’s rhetoric has wrought among his supporters in the Republican Party,” wrote Avlon.

Britain's National Cybersecurity Centre (NCSC), part of its GCHQ eavesdropping spy agency, said in a report published on Wednesday that the mercenary hacking market was offering products that were on par with government hacking groups. On Tuesday, Canadian internet watchdog group Citizen Lab published a report which said that NSO had been caught using newly-discovered hacking tools to break into iPhones belonging to Mexican human rights defenders in 2022. At least some in the spyware industry see regulation coming down the pipe and are taking steps to try to shape it. NSO has long touted its human rights policy despite repeated allegations that its software has been used abusively, including to spy on victims of human rights violations. NSO did not immediately return an email seeking comment on the Citizen Lab report or its communications with the American Bar Association.
[1/5] An aerial view shows women wearing red clothes during a demonstration as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's nationalist coalition government presses on with its contentious judicial overhaul, in Tel Aviv, Israel, March 18, 2023. REUTERS/Oren AlonTEL AVIV, March 18 (Reuters) - Israelis packed city streets on Saturday in nationwide demonstrations now in their 11th week against plans by the hard-right government to curb the Supreme Court's powers, which critics see as a threat to judicial independence. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who says his aim is to balance out branches of government, wields a parliamentary majority along with his religious-nationalist coalition allies but his planned judicial overhaul has sparked concern at home and abroad. "I'm here to demonstrate with the people of Israel, against the revolution, against the changing of our state," said Dalia Yosef, 72, also at the Tel Aviv demonstration.

REUTERS/Ronen ZvulunBEIT HOGLA SETTLEMENT, West Bank, Feb 15 (Reuters) - Between Jericho and the Dead Sea, Israeli settlers rejoice after the government granted their outpost retroactive approval. Drawing Western concern and Palestinian anger, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government authorised nine settler outposts in the occupied West Bank this week, in response to two Palestinian street attacks in which nine Israelis were killed. Israel disputes the illegality of the settlements and cites Biblical and historical ties to the West Bank, which it calls by its Biblical name - Judea and Samaria. More than 450,000 people, or less than 5% of Israel’s population, are Jewish settlers in the West Bank, home to about 3 million Palestinians who exercise limited self-rule there.
The Bank of Israel said its banking supervision department had completed the inspection process for the new institution named Esh Bank Israel. These include completing the development and testing phases of new technology and hiring a management team and bank staff. It will take about a year and a half to get the bank up and running, the central bank said. Last January, One Zero Digital Bank received final regulatory approval for a full banking licence, becoming the first new Israeli bank in 43 years. "We see great importance in the entry of banks and additional new players into the banking system in Israel, so that they contribute to increasing competition and innovation in the financial system," said Bank of Israel Governor Amir Yaron.
Emilienne Malfatto, o fostă colaboratoare a AFP care cunoaşte bine Irakul, povesteşte în 80 de pagini nenorocirea care se abate asupra unei tinere fete de pe malul fluviului Tigru când rămâne însărcinată fără să fie căsătorită. Romanul a fost publicat în septembrie de o editură din Tunis, Elyzad, şi fusese remarcat graţie menţiunii speciale din partea cititorilor la premiul Hors Concours 2020, care se adresează editurilor independente, rareori premiate cu cele mai importante premii literare. Reunit prin videoconferinţă, juriul a acordat şi premiul Goncourt pentru nuvelă israelianului francofon Shmuel T. Meyer pentru „Et la guerre est finie...”, în timp ce premiul Goncourt pentru biografie a revenit scriitoarei Pauline Dreyfus pentru „Paul Morand” (Gallimard)..În cele din urmă, premiul Goncourt pentru poezie i-a fost acordat, pentru întreaga operă, lui Jacques Roubaud, de 88 de ani, „matematician, scriitor, eseist şi membru al Oulipo”. Această mişcare literară, căreia îi place să se joace cu constrângerile pentru realizarea unor opere marcate de umor şi de fantezie, este, de asemenea, cea din care face parte laureatul premiului Goncourt pe 2020, Hervé Le Tellier, pentru romanul său „L'Anomalie”. Premiul Goncourt pentru roman de debut este un trofeu literar decernat în fiecare an începând din 2009, în marja celebrului premiu Goncourt atribuit de Academia Goncourt în sezonul de toamnă.
