Israeli strike on hospital highlights devastation to Gaza's healthcare system

The Korea Times - Nov 13, 2026

BEIRUT — A deadly airstrike on the biggest hospital in the southern Gaza Strip highlighted the devastation that Israel's campaign has wreaked on the Palestinian territory's healthcare system over the past three years. The strike that hit Nasser Hospital's surgical wing killed six people, including a surgeon and a 13-year-old boy, and heavily damaged operating rooms and patient wards. The Israeli military said it targeted a Hamas commander using the hospital as a base, though it did not provide evidence for the claim. Israel has carried out near daily strikes in Gaza despite a ceasefire agreement with Hamas that took effect in October 2025. Israel says it is targeting militants. Israel launched its campaign in Gaza in retaliation for Hamas' deadly October 2023 attack on southern Israel. Direct attacks on hospitals have become rarer during the truce. But Thursday's strike underscored how Gaza's health system is still struggling to recover. Here is a look at Israel's attacks on hospitals, its accusations against Hamas and the impact on Gaza's healthcare system. Israel has attacked Gaza hos

FBI says US has seized $1.2 bil. worth of cryptocurrency stolen from Binance

WASHINGTON — The FBI said Thursday that it had seized more than $1.2 billion of cryptocurrency reported stolen last month from Binance , the world's largest crypto exchange. The theft of about $6.3 billion from Binance is regarded as the biggest crypto heist in history, and the FBI has previously attributed it to a North Korean hacking group known as TraderTraitor. The U.S. government and private sector have so far combined to freeze more than $2.7 billion of the stolen funds, and the Justice Department said Thursday that it has now obtained court authorization to seize or restrain more than $1.2 billion of that total. Typically in those situations, the U.S. government will file a claim of forfeiture with a judge, who will then determine who has a legitimate claim to the recovered funds. Also Thursday, the FBI blamed North Korea for a separate social engineering scheme that officials say resulted in the theft of $400 million worth of cryptocurrency over the last 18 months. That scheme, known as FaceStealer, involves a complicated chain of events combining the hijacking of popular mess

ICE reports record-high immigration arrests and deportations since Trump's return to White House

ICE reports record-high immigration arrests and deportations since Trump's return to White House

MINNEAPOLIS — Immigration and Customs Enforcement (ICE) arrested and deported more people during the last fiscal year than at any time in its 23-year history, Homeland Security said Thursday, as President Donald Trump followed through on promises of mass deportations that helped him win back the White House in 2024 but also fueled the political blowback that led to Democrats’ overwhelming victory in last week’s midterm elections. The numbers released Thursday by the department reflect the massive funding that has gone into supercharging immigration enforcement under the Trump administration, with more money for deportation officers, detention facilities and deportation flights. But Democratic members of Congress, buoyed by their sweeping victories in both the House and Senate, are promising vigorous oversight of the agency core to the president's mass deportation mission. ICE said it deported 483,200 people in the fiscal year that ended Sept. 30. In 2014, 405,090 people were deported under then-President Barack Obama, when some activists labeled him the “deporter in chief.” The

China's access to Nvidia chips in doubt as curbs gain traction in US Congress

US House Speaker Mike Johnson said on Thursday there was growing consensus in Congress on limiting chip exports to China after a spy scandal forced out Nvidia CEO Jensen Huang. Huang stepped down after reports of a romantic relationship with a businesswoman whom US authorities suspect of spying for the Chinese government. Lawmakers from both parties have since called for tougher restrictions on China's access to advanced AI chips, threatening access to chips that underpin China's surging AI development. And senior White House officials were discussing whether Commerce Secretary Howard Lutnick should be pushed out, two people familiar with the situation said, as the desire to take action rose across Washington. A growing number of lawmakers have criticized Lutnick for the administration's refusal to add dozens of Chinese companies to a key US trade blacklist, and over whether the government was properly overseeing Nvidia's exports to China. Nvidia's advanced AI chips are widely used to develop cutting-edge AI models, making the company key to the US race against China to build superior AI

Malaysia probes Megaspeed subsidiary over possible AI chip diversion

KUALA LUMPUR — Malaysia said Friday it was investigating a subsidiary of Megaspeed International over the possible diversion of advanced AI chips to other countries, widening a scandal involving US chip giant Nvidia. It came the day after Nvidia boss Jensen Huang resigned over an affair, reportedly with Alice Huang -- a suspected Chinese spy and former top executive at Megaspeed, a Singapore-based data centre company. Megaspeed is under scrutiny for allegedly steering Nvidia AI chips to China despite US export rules designed to slow the development of artificial intelligence technology by Beijing. Malaysia's Ministry of Investment, Trade and Industry (MITI) said Megaspeed's local subsidiary Speedmatrix is a tenant at data centres in Malaysia and is allowed to bring AI chips into the country without a permit or license. But since July last year, any entity wanting to "export, reexport, transship or transit high performance US AI chips from or through Malaysia" must get a permit. Giving false information to customs authorities about such items is a "serious offence", the ministry said in
