I know people whose rib cage was completely broken, some people died of torture,” he told CNN. An Israeli security official told CNN that the Israel Defense Forces (IDF) was aware of several incidents of “abuse” of Gazan workers by IDF soldiers. Several of the workers told CNN they were blindfolded and handcuffed for long periods of time. Palestinian workers deported by Israel make their return to the Gaza Strip in Rafah, Gaza, on November 3, 2023. They were then forced to walk for “about three hours” to cross into the enclave, several of them told CNN.

☆ Scientists shot tardigrades out of a gun at more than 2,000 mph to see if the critters could survive

Tardigrades can survive in extreme environments, but a new study shows they're not indestructible. Scientists found these creatures couldn't survive speeds above 2,000 mph when shot out of a gun. The researchers shot canisters full of tardigrades out of a high-speed gun at various speeds to see whether the creatures could survive the pressure of each resulting impact. After being shot out at speeds under 900 meters per second (about 2,000 mph) — that's faster than your average bullet — the tardigrades could be revived. But if tardigrades can't survive the pressures of a collision with our moon, it's unlikely they could survive a meteorite impact with another planet, the study authors wrote.
