Ongoing protests at the border between Gaza and Israel, now in their sixth week, are growing increasingly violent, as Palestinian demonstrators have reportedly begun using firebombs, burning tires and wire cutters to breach the barbed-wire border fence.

By Terray Sylvester and Jolyn Rosa PAHOA, Hawaii/HONOLULU (Reuters) - Six days before Kilauea began erupting on Hawaii's Big Island, residents living under one of the world's most active volcanoes attended a community forum on preparing for emergencies. It was prompted in part by a mistaken alert in January that North Korea had launched a ballistic missile attack on Hawaii, which sent residents and tourists scrambling for shelter across the U.S. Pacific island state. Living in paradise comes with risks for the mostly retired residents in communities around Kilauea, who must also cope with the occasional hurricane - and the rumbling volcano proved the most damaging. from Yahoo News - Latest News & Headlines https://ift.tt/2K3t0Cm via Latest News
