Israel and Hamas have agreed to a deal to halt the war in Gaza and free the remaining hostages, raising hopes of an end to the bloodiest round of fighting in the Israeli-Palestinian conflict’s history. The multiphase agreement comes days before Donald Trump takes office as US president. Trump’s warning that there would be “all hell to pay” if the hostages were not released before his inauguration on Monday helped inject renewed momentum into the long-stalled talks. A person close to the talks said a deal had been done. Previous attempts to broker a deal to end the 15-month conflict and secure the release of the 98 Israeli hostages still in Gaza — not all of whom are alive — had repeatedly foundered as Israel and Hamas refused to make the concessions necessary to reach an agreement. © Amir Cohen/Reuters The war was triggered by Hamas’s shock assault on Israel on October 7, 2023, during which militants killed 1,200 people, according to Israeli officials, and took another 250 hostage. Israel’s devastating retaliatory offensive has killed more than 46,000 people, according to Palestinian officials, as well as reducing much of Gaza, and fuelling a humanitarian catastrophe in the besieged enclave. This is a developing story

Interesting I dig up a bit for Europe :

France

https://www.mondrone.net/drones/peut-on-abattre-un-drone-au-dessus-de-chez-soi

According to Article L. 6211-3 of the Transportation Code, airspace does not belong to the landowner. Therefore, a drone can fly over your property as long as it does not infringe on your property rights.

The Penal Code, Article 322-1, specifies that destroying a drone is equivalent to damaging someone else's property, punishable by up to two years in prison and a fine of 30,000 euros.

Germany

https://www.gelbeseiten.de/ratgeber/rf/darf-man-drohnen-abschie%C3%9Fen-hier-gibt-es-die-antwort

If the drone flight reaches an intensity that the owner of a property considers a nuisance, this justifies a shooting. This is also how the Riesa District Court saw it, which on 24. April 2019 (file number: 9 Cs 926 Js 3044/19). The facts: A drone flew over a property and followed the movements of a woman and her daughter. The woman's daughter felt threatened by the drone. This flew around at a height of 5 to 15 meters above the two women. The woman's husband first called out to the drone to leave. He also signaled this by clear hand signals. Since the pilot did not steer the drone away from the property, the defendant shot at the drone with an air rifle. After the drone was shot down, it fell from the sky and was completely destroyed. There was a damage of 1,500 euros. The owner of the drone filed a criminal complaint for property damage in accordance with § 303c of the Criminal Code.However: According to § 228 BGB, the man was allowed to shoot the drone. He acted in a state of emergency and averted imminent damage from his family. There was a threat of further images.

UK

https://dronesaferegister.org.uk/blog/is-it-legal-to-shoot-down-a-drone-over-your-property/

You can’t shoot down a drone, even if it is flying over your house or land, not even if you are really unhappy with it being there. There are a number of reasons for this.  If you fire a gun at a drone, even over your property, there is a chance that you might miss and hit something or someone that you didn’t intend to.  If you hit your target, there is a chance that the drone might just drop from the sky and hit something or someone that you didn’t intend it to. Both of these possibilities carry particularly disastrous consequences and somewhat pale beside the legal fact that you could be charged with endangering an aircraft (the same as if you shot at an aeroplane) and face a prison sentence.

Switzerland

https://www.swisslife.ch/fr/particuliers/blog/immo/drones-les-atteintes-a-la-vie-privee-sont-interdites.html

According to legal opinions, it is even permissible to catch a drone in mid-air if it is flying over one's own property. This can be done with a net, a rope or a throwing object, as long as no one is endangered and no one's property is compromised. However, it is forbidden to shoot down the drone with a firearm, crossbow or arrow.

Some ai tdlr The document appears to be a comprehensive research dossier on J.D. Vance, dated February 23, 2024, and labeled as "Privileged & Confidential." It includes detailed background on Vance’s political career, financial records, personal history, and potential vulnerabilities. Below is a summary of key sections:

  1. Executive Synopsis and Vulnerabilities:

    • Questionable Conservatism: Vance's political positions often cross party lines. He has praised certain Democratic policies, opposed some core Republican policies like the 2017 tax cuts, and supported higher taxes for businesses and individuals without children. His stance on labor unions and criticism of corporate interests also mark him as diverging from traditional Republican economic priorities.
  2. Top Hits:

    • Political and Voting History: Vance failed to vote in several elections between 2018 and 2020 and was not a registered Republican in Hamilton County until 2022.

    • Liberal Tendencies: Vance has previously expressed admiration for Hillary Clinton, Barack Obama, and Bernie Sanders.
  3. Campaign Finance:

    • 2022 Senate Campaign: Vance raised nearly $16 million, with contributions from Republican committees, corporations, and notable PACs. He also received donations from individuals with anti-Trump views.
    • 2028 Re-election Campaign: Since 2023, Vance raised over $1.5 million, with funds coming from PACs and corporations like SpaceX, Honeywell, and Comcast.
  4. Policy and Controversial Views:

    • Vance has supported raising taxes, especially for those without children, and has advocated for stronger labor union reforms.
    • He has been critical of both Republican efforts to repeal Obamacare and Trump’s domestic policies.
    • On social issues, Vance opposes abortion, supports traditional family structures, and advocates for stricter immigration controls.
    • He has also been critical of foreign interventions, particularly in Ukraine, and supports non-interventionism.
  5. Personal Information:

    • Vance is married to Usha Bala Vance and has three children. He has served as a U.S. Senator from Ohio since 2023. Prior to that, he worked in venture capital and at a law firm.

This summary highlights Vance’s evolving political positions, campaign finance details, and areas of potential vulnerability that could be used by opponents in future political contests.
