John Spencer, an expert on urban warfare, pointed out that the weapons used by Hamas are akin to those of Israeli soldiers. This raises doubts about claims of deliberate targeting of children by Israeli forces, suggesting that some civilian casualties may result from Hamas’s actions.

Hamas has a reputation for using civilians, including children, as shields. While the IDF acknowledges civilian deaths, it insists they are mostly unintentional and the result of Hamas tactics. Experts note that urban warfare's complexity often leads to tragic outcomes, but the notion of Israeli forces deliberately targeting children remains unsupported.

In Chile, a court sentenced 34 members of the Los Gallegos gang, associated with the "Tren de Aragua," to 560 years in prison for various crimes. This historic trial involved significant evidence and witness testimony. Prosecutors are seeking extraditions for other suspects and preparing a separate online trial for more members involved in human trafficking and drug smuggling.
