At least 68 Palestinians, including children, were killed on Sunday in a series of Israeli airstrikes across the Gaza Strip, according to medical sources and local reports.
In Gaza City, 25 people were killed when Israeli warplanes bombed two homes sheltering displaced families in the Sheikh Radwan and Al-Nasr neighborhoods, a medical source said.
Eyewitnesses said the houses were filled with sleeping families, mostly women and children, when the strikes occurred. Several people remain trapped under the rubble.

An Israeli drone strike hit a tent sheltering displaced Palestinians in Sheikh Radwan, killing three and injuring others, according to health officials.
In western Gaza City, seven people, including children, were killed when Israeli warplanes bombed a school-turned shelter in the Shati refugee camp, medics said.
Medical sources at Al-Shifa Hospital said the victims arrived in pieces, while dozens of others were brought in with various injuries due to overcrowding at the shelter.
Elsewhere in Gaza City, at least two people were killed and others injured in an Israeli strike on a residential home in Al-Tuffah neighborhood.
Several people remain trapped under the rubble, with medical teams unable to reach them due to the dangerous security situation, witnesses said.
An Israeli drone struck a car in northern Gaza City, leaving three Palestinians dead, a medical source said.

In southern Gaza, at least 10 people, including children and a pregnant woman, were killed in two Israeli air raids on makeshift tents for displaced civilians in the Al-Mawasi area of Khan Younis, medical teams at Nasser and Kuwait field hospitals reported.
Medics said four more bodies, including three children, were recovered from the rubble following another drone strike on tents near the Al-Albani Mosque in Khan Younis.
Israeli forces also bombed residential and civilian structures in eastern Gaza City and northern parts of the enclave overnight, with residents reporting continuous explosions throughout the night.

In another attack, three people lost their lives after an Israeli strike hit their home in the same refugee camp. Operations to rescue those trapped under the rubble are still ongoing.
Despite international calls for a ceasefire, Israel has pursued a genocidal war on Gaza, killing more than 57,400 Palestinians, most of them women and children, since October 2023.
The International Criminal Court issued arrest warrants last November for Netanyahu and his former Defense Minister Yoav Gallant for war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
Israel also faces a genocide case at the International Court of Justice for its war on the enclave.

WIMBLEDON — Aryna Sabalenka doesn’t give much away in a tiebreak these days. The World No. 1 has already pocketed three at Wimbledon, including Sunday against Elise Mertens to reach the quarterfinals, bringing her 2025 record in breakers to a staggering 16-1.
Who’s the only player to steal one from her this year? Ekaterina Alexandrova, who edged Sabalenka 3-6, 6-3, 7-6 (5) in Doha back in February. She didn’t even realize she was the only one until Iga Swiatek mentioned it.
Wimbledon: Scores | Order of play | Draws
“Iga showed me a couple days ago,” Alexandrova said this past week. “She said, ‘Look at this newspaper.’ They had a box saying I was the only one.”
It’s not the only tiebreak record Alexandrova holds. In 2023, she became the first woman ever to win a Wimbledon match in three tiebreak sets after defeating Madison Brengle 6-7(4), 7-6(5), 7-6[7] in the second round. Both these statistics are deeply ironic, according to Alexandrova.
“I have a difficult relationship with tiebreaks,” she said. “Especially in the third set.”
Indeed, by May 2023, Alexandrova, 30, had lost 16 of her first 17 deciding tiebreaks at tour level. Since then, she’s won four of her last five, though her overall record in third-set shootouts still sits at just 5-21. But if beating Sabalenka in that moment doesn’t build belief, what will?
“I’m trying to work out the issues,” Alexandrova said. “But this gives me some confidence. If you can beat Sabalenka in a tiebreak, you can do something in the next one, right?”
That was certainly the case against Sonmez. Alexandrova had dropped serve at 6-5 in the second set but used her disappointment as fuel to dominate the ensuing tiebreak.
“I was still upset because I couldn’t serve out the match,” she said. “But I couldn’t do better than what I did, she played so good.”
Alexandrova admits she’s slow to give herself credit. Even after wins, her mind automatically goes to what she could have done better and what she needs to improve on. But she’s quietly putting together one of the best seasons of her career in 2025.
Champions Reel: How Ekaterina Alexandrova won Linz 2025
She claimed her fifth title, and first at WTA 500 level, in Linz in February, and has gone on to reach a further four semifinals. She has a 5-3 record against Top 10 opposition this year — as well as the Sabalenka win, Alexandrova has defeated Mirra Andreeva, Zheng Qinwen and Jessica Pegula twice.
True to form, Alexandrova demurs when asked whether she’s in the best form of her life. Instead of the highs, she points to the lows — her early losses in Australia and the Sunshine Double. But beneath the modesty, she’s found she’s been able to take her game to the next level with her coach, Igor Andreev, with whom she started working last November.
“He sees the game differently,” she said. He’s bringing more variety to my game, so I can use different types of shots and combinations. Before, I was going on court and hitting as hard as I can. If it’s working, great. If it’s not, bad day. But with him, if something is not working you need to find something different. and you need to try until you find something that is working today. If some shots are not working, try another one, another one, another one.
“At first it was difficult because I was used to fast shots and that’s it. I was like, this is not the way I play. But the more I was trying to do it, the more I was able to see that you can always find something.”
Alexandrova is one of the most accomplished grass-courters on tour, with two titles (‘s-Hertogenbosch 2022-23) under her belt on the surface. She’s also unusual in that she took to it straight away. In her first-career event on grass, she qualified for Wimbledon 2016 — via back-to-back 14-12 and 13-11 third-set victories — and upset Ana Ivanovic in the first round of the main draw.
Once again, she wasn’t eager to praise herself. She had been one of the last direct entries into qualifying, boarding her flight to London unsure if she was even in the draw. Everything had moved too fast for her to take it in.
“The first time was a lucky one,” she said. “I didn’t know the surface at all or what to expect. I wasn’t thinking about what I need to do or not do. I just went on the court and everything went naturally. But even now, it’s really difficult to play on grass.”
Given that, Alexandrova isn’t surprised by the wave of upsets at Wimbledon this year. At No. 17, she’s the second-highest-ranked player left in the draw, behind Diana Shnaider, who has yet to reach a Grand Slam quarterfinal. This could be Alexandrova’s chance to make a move. She will face Belinda Bencic in the fourth round on Monday, a week after beating her 6-1, 6-2 in Bad Homburg.
“It’s always different and it feels it’s impossible to find the right rhythm,” she said. “One day it’s hot and it’s flying, one day it’s cold and the bounce is super low. You always need to adjust and adapt. Every year, it’s like playing for the first time.
“I don’t remember many matches on grass where I came off court and thought it was super easy. But you need to be mentally prepared that it’s difficult. Only then is it going to be easy.”
The new GoPro Max 2 has just dropped out of the sky, as can be seen in this official teaser image (Image source: GoPro)
This year appears to be a good one for 360-degree cameras thanks to an increasing amount of competition among notable brands. After Insta360 set the bar a bit higher with the X5 and its larger sensors, an initial leak recently emerged about the DJI Osmo 360 with new 1-inch sensor as well. Now, the GoPro Max 2 has also emerged online.
This is arguably an exciting weekend for fans of 360-degree cameras. After two leakers revealed numerous specs, press images and the launch date for the DJI Osmo 360, GoPro’s powerful competitor has literally just dropped out of the sky as well. To be more exact, the first official teaser images of the GoPro Max 2 have appeared on the American company’s official profile on X.
There isn’t much to add to the two pictures embedded below, which were posted with a caption reading “Dropping”. Nonetheless, the “Max 2” lettering on the side of the new GoPro camera is clearly visible in the first image, and it’s reasonable to assume that both photos were taken with the new 360-degree camera. These initial Max 2 teasers are somewhat surprising, considering that a refreshed version of the original 2019 GoPro Max was recently launched under the name GoPro Max 2025 (from $299 on Amazon), although that gadget didn’t receive any notable hardware upgrades.
In contrast, the GoPro Max 2 will probably offer many new features and specs. This can already be seen in these images, which show larger cooling fins on the front of the 360-degree camera. We further expect 8K support, larger sensors and a faster processor. Moreover, there will likely be significant improvements to the battery and software as well. After all, GoPro has had almost six years to improve its second GoPro Max. For consumers, this plethora of new 360-degree cameras will likely result in better quality and more features, and it could also fuel a price war in this particular segment.

Swimsuit Model Suffers Wardrobe Malfunction At Wimbledon originally appeared on The Spun.
A Sports Illustrated Swimsuit issue model suffered an unfortunate – but relatable for many – wardrobe malfunction at Wimbledon over Fourth of July weekend.
The 2025 Wimbledon tournament is entering its second week. Many of the top seeds on the men’s side remain – including Janik Sinner, Carlos Alcaraz and Novak Djokovic – but there have been several upsets on the women’s side of the bracket.
Wimbledon is known for its prestigious grass courts, its strawberries and cream dessert and its numerous celebrities in attendance. One prominent Sports Illustrated Swimsuit model was in attendance over the Fourth of July holiday weekend. However, she suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction.

Brooks Nader, a 28-year-old model from Louisiana who previously landed the cover of Sport Illustrated, suffered an unfortunate wardrobe malfunction during her time at Centre Court over the weekend.
The swimsuit model was rocking a black-and-white, polka-dot shirt with a long, white denim skirt with a zip-up front. However, the white skirt ended up being the wrong call.
“Tries to be chic,” the 28-year-old influencer wrote on the clip. “Starts 🩸 at Wimbledon.”
Nader admitted to having a period accident while at Wimbledon. Of course, something like this has probably happened to every woman on the planet at one time or another. Nader is being praised for being open and vulnerable about her wardrobe malfunction at Wimbledon.
“You’re so real for this,” one fan wrote.
“Dare I say you’re more chic now,” one fan added.
“Happens to us all,” another fan added.
“I really love that you shared this,” one fan added.
Meanwhile, Wimbledon will continue with its men’s singles and women’s singles coverage throughout the weekend.
ABC and ESPN have full coverage of the 2025 Grand Slam tournament this year.

TikTok is building a new version of its app for users in the United States ahead the social media platform’s planned sale to a group of investors, The Information reported on Sunday, citing unnamed sources.
This comes as US President Donald Trump said on Friday he will start talking to China on Monday or Tuesday about a possible TikTok deal. He said the United States “pretty much” has a deal on the sale of the TikTok short-video app.
TikTok has developed a plan to launch the new app in US app stores on September 5, the report said.
Last month, Trump extended to September 17 a deadline for China-based ByteDance to divest the US assets of TikTok.
The report added that TikTok users will eventually have to download the new app to be able to continue using the service, although the existing app will work until March of next year, though the timeline could change.
TikTok did not immediately respond to a Reuters request for comment. Reuters could not immediately confirm the report.
A deal had been in the works earlier this year to spin off TikTok’s US operations into a new US-based firm, majority-owned and operated by American investors. That was put on hold after China indicated it would not approve it following Trump’s announcements of steep tariffs on Chinese goods.
Trump said the United States will probably have to get a deal approved by China.

Vit Hrabar and Zak Smrekar both scored 20 points and Urban Kroflic had a monster game with 19 points, 14 rebounds and 6 assists for the Europeans.
“Through the whole tournament we showed how much chemistry we have and how good we are as a team and it all paid off,” said Hrabar. “This means everything. I was dreaming since I was a little kid to represent and wear this jersey.”
Slovenia have earned titles on the continental stage – the biggest of which was Goran Dragic and Luka Doncic carrying the nation to the FIBA EuroBasket 2017 crown. Slovenia just missed the bronze medal at the 2020 Olympics with a fourth-placed finish.
Slovenia won the FIBA U20 EuroBasket trophy twice – 2000 and 2004 – among five podium finishes in that age group. The Balkan side also finished second at the FIBA U18 EuroBasket 2002.
New Zealand big man Oscar Goodman was forced out of the game for good after less than 4 minutes, and Slovenia took a 26-19 lead after 10 minutes. The Oceania side got back within one point only to see Slovenia pull away to the first double figure advantage 39-29. New Zealand did not let them get any further ahead and trailed 52-46 at the break.
The Europeans started the second half stronger and used a 13-3 surge to take a 68-54 lead midway through the third quarter. New Zealand tried to close the gap but it was still 75-64 after 30 minutes. The margin was down to four points before Hrabar nailed back-to-back triples to put Slovenia up 85-77 with under 4 minutes to go.
Slovenia led 89-79 with 35 seconds but New Zealand gave it one final push with the next eight points but there was only 1.5 seconds remaining when Tama Isaac made it 89-87.
Hayden Jones had 21 points for New Zealand and Isaac finished with 20 points. The Oceania side registered their third fourth place in global history along with at the FIBA Basketball World Cup 2002 and FIBA U17.
Classification games
The final day of action in Lausanne also saw classification action for the rest of the teams.
Canada bounced back from their Quarter-Finals loss to USA and finished fifth after beating Australia 75-72 with Tristan Beckford scoring 17 points in the win.
Israel finished their first FIBA U19 World Cup appearance in seventh place after beating hosts and fellow debutants Switzerland 79-68. Oren Sahar had 21 points and Rany Belaga flirted with a triple-double with 18 points, 14 rebounds and 8 assists for the winners.
Serbia rebounded from their loss to Germany in the Round of 16 with three straight wins to finish ninth with a 96-93 victory over France. The Serbs wasted a 12-point lead but ended up winning as Andrej Kostic scored 22 points and Savo Drezgic tallied 18 points and 10 assists.
Mali finished on a high note as they defeated Argentina 89-79 to take 11th place thanks to Youssef Traore collecting 27 points, 12 rebounds and 4 assists.
Thirteenth place went to China after an 81-77 triumph over Cameroon with Jiazheng Chen hitting 4 three-pointers for 25 points. Cameroon had two big performances but Gedeon Basson scoring 22 points and Amadou Seini totaling 12 points and 24 rebounds were not enough.
Dominican Republic picked up their first win with a 95-73 win over Jordan for 15th place, Adrian Britto scoring 19 points for the victors.

Mouth and tongue lesions are often one of the first symptoms of human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). HIV weakens your immune system, which can leave you susceptible to sores and infections.
If left untreated, oral health issues can cause pain and other health complications.

Aphthous ulcers are small, yellow or gray sores with a red border. They usually appear on the tongue, cheeks, or inside the lips. Mouth ulcers can make talking and eating painful, especially if they’re located under the tongue.
Mouth ulcers are often a symptom of a weak immune system and stress. An estimated 50% of people with HIV experience mouth and tongue ulcers because of their weakened immune systems. Dry mouth caused by HIV and HIV medications can also increase your risk of mouth sores.
Sores will eventually heal on their own. Mild ulcers can be treated with over-the-counter (OTC) numbing creams that help relieve pain and promote healing. More severe sores are treated with prescription corticosteroid mouthwashes or pills.

Oral thrush is a type of yeast infection that causes patches of creamy white or yellow bumps that coat the tongue. These patches can be painless, or they may burn and bleed. Oral thrush can also affect the tonsils, throat, cheeks, gums, and roof of the mouth.
Oral thrush is the most common mouth infection that affects people living with HIV. It’s normal for yeast (a type of fungus) to live in your mouth. However, if you have a weakened immune system due to HIV, it’s easier for this fungus to grow too much, leading to infection. Because saliva in the mouth has antibodies to fight infections, HIV-related dry mouth also increases your risk of oral thrush.
Prescription antifungal lozenges, pills, or mouthwashes can treat oral thrush. However, oral thrush often returns if your immune system is too weak.

Oral hairy leukoplakia (OHL) causes white, hair-like patches on the sides of the tongue. It can also appear on the insides of the cheeks and lower lip. These patches can be painless or cause mild pain. In more severe cases, you may lose your sense of taste and experience hot and cold sensitivity.
People with Epstein-Barr virus (EBV)—a common herpes virus—can develop oral hairy leukoplakia. EBV typically infects people with extremely weak immune systems, especially those with HIV. EBV infections are also more common in people with untreated HIV.
Oral hairy leukoplakia patches often go away randomly, but there is no cure for the underlying Epstein-Barr virus. Treatment for OHL may include prescription anti-retroviral medications to help reduce patches and lower EBV in your body. Topical solutions, like podophyllin resin and retinoids, can also be applied to the tongue to remove patches.

Herpes simplex virus type 1 (HSV-1) can cause swollen, painful sores and blisters on the tongue. Blisters are also common on the lips and the roof of the mouth. Herpes blisters start as small clusters of white or yellow fluid-filled bumps that eventually burst into one larger red sore.
Oral herpes affects nearly 20% of people with HIV. Living with a weak immune system increases your risk of having more oral herpes outbreaks, which can also spread more easily.
Herpes sores are very contagious and can spread from kissing or sharing utensils. There is no cure for oral herpes, but prescription antivirals can help reduce healing time and future outbreaks.

Oral warts look like small, hard, skin-colored bumps or flat, white growths that resemble cauliflower. These painless warts often appear on the tongue, lips, and inside of the mouth. On the tongue, warts usually look gray or white and grow on the sides of the tongue or the lingual frenulum (the fold underneath your tongue).
Oral warts are caused by different strains of the human papillomavirus (HPV). People with HIV are more likely to get HPV infections and oral warts because of their weakened immune system.
People who are aging with HIV or are doing highly active antiretroviral therapy (HAART) are also at an increased risk of oral warts. Oral warts can be removed surgically or frozen off with cryosurgery. However, warts can come back.

Oral melanin hyperpigmentation looks like flat, brown patches on the tongue, lips, gums, cheeks, or roof of the mouth. This discoloration is caused by increased melanin (skin pigment) in the mouth.
If you have HIV, the antiretroviral therapy (ART) medication Retrovir (zidovudine), also known as AZT, can cause oral hyperpigmentation as a side effect. HIV-related oral hyperpigmentation doesn’t usually cause problems or require treatment. However, if you’re worried about the appearance of hyperpigmentation, talk with your healthcare provider. You may be able to switch to a different ART medication.
Maintaining good oral hygiene can help prevent HIV tongue and mouth conditions. Some dentist-approved tips include:
Keep your mouth clean: Brush your teeth for two minutes and floss twice daily to remove food, plaque, and harmful bacteria in your mouth.
Visit your dentist regularly: See your dentist at least every six months for cleanings. If you don’t have a dentist, ask your healthcare provider or clinic for a referral.
Take your HIV medication: It’s important to take antiretroviral therapy medications as directed and on schedule to reduce HIV in your body and help your immune system recover.
Avoid dry mouth triggers: Limit things that can lead to dry mouth, like smoking tobacco, drinking alcohol, and eating salty foods.
Stay hydrated: Drink water often, use a humidifier at bedtime, and consider using toothpaste or mouthwash designed to help dry mouth.
If you have HIV, it’s important to see your provider if you experience any changes in your mouth or tongue. Mouth sores, dry mouth, and oral infections are often indicators that HIV is progressing and the immune system is becoming weaker. Some HIV medications can also make dry mouth worse, so your provider may recommend a different treatment.
If left untreated, oral health complications make you more susceptible to bacterial infections and septicemia (blood poisoning), which can be fatal with a weakened immune system. HIV-related tongue ulcers and dry mouth can cause pain that makes it hard to talk, chew, and swallow. Tongue lesions can also wear down taste buds and cause loss of taste.
Other warning signs of HIV progression that warrant a medical visit include:
Fatigue
Fever
Chills
Sore throat
Mouth ulcers
Rash
Muscle aches
Swollen lymph nodes
Night sweats
The HIV Services Locator is a helpful tool to find qualified healthcare providers in your area.
People with HIV are more likely to have ulcers, oral thrush, dark spots, herpes, and warts that affect the tongue and mouth. Because HIV weakens your immune system and can cause dry mouth, oral health conditions are common.
Practicing good oral hygiene, taking your HIV medications, and visiting your dentist regularly are essential to help prevent complications.
