Israel deadly raid
It's been another day of attack, gunfire and bloodshed in the occupied West Bank. Israeli forces have raided the flashpoint refugee camp in Jenin. There have been multiple casualties. A young Palestinian man, identified as Matin Zabaya, was killed during the raid. Also, a Palestinian doctor, identified as Abdullah Abu-Tin, was shot while attending to the injured. He's currently in critical condition and undergoing surgery. Eight others have been wounded. Separately, Muhammad Mahir Trukman, the Palestinian who carried out an operation injuring seven Israeli soldiers in September, has died of his injuries at the hospital. Israel has intensified its deadly crackdown in the occupied territories, killing more than 100 Palestinians so far this year.
South Korea sanctions North
South Korea imposes unilateral sanctions on the North, in response to its latest ballistic missile tests. According to a South Korean news agency, Pyongyang launched a short-range ballistic missile into the sea and flew nearly a dozen fighter jets close to the border with the South. The North Korean military has described its latest actions as strong countermeasures to Seoul’s provocative artillery fire near the border. It also accuses the South of inciting tensions with its reckless actions. Seoul has reacted angrily to the latest test, urging its northern neighbor to refrain from creating military tensions.
US soaring inflation
More bad news for the US economy. The official data shows the country’s inflation jumped more than expected in September despite an aggressive central bank policy. According to the Labor Department statistics, prices rose 0.4 percent in September compared to the previous month. It says the impact was largely on food, shelter and medical care. The report comes before midterm elections, in which, Republicans have sought to blame President Joe Biden's administration for the crisis. It also raises concerns that the Federal Reserve will extend its policy of super-sized interest rates to counter inflation. Last month, the Fed increased the rate for the third time to bring down inflation which peaked at a nearly 4o-year high in June. The Treasury Secretary and other officials have defended their economic policies. They attribute price rises to supply chain problems and other unforeseen events, including the war in Ukraine.
