Israel voices regret for deadly strike on Gaza church after Trump call
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu expressed regret after Israeli tank fire killed three people at a Catholic church in Gaza on Thursday, blaming a 'stray' round for the deaths after a phone call with US President Donald Trump.

Witnesses and the Latin Patriarch said a tank shell slammed directly into the church around 10.30am, but the Israeli military later said an initial inquiry 'suggests that fragments from a shell … hit the church mistakenly'. Pope Leo said he was 'deeply saddened' by the loss of life at Holy Family, which the late Pope Francis had kept in regular contact with throughout the war between Israel and Hamas militants. Israel's military maintained it made 'every feasible effort to mitigate harm to civilians and religious structures', while Netanyahu promised an investigation.

Outrage in Italy as heroic police dog Bruno killed in ‘vile, cowardly' attack
The horrific killing of a police bloodhound, who helped find nine people throughout his sniffer dog career, has outraged Italians and sparked a criminal investigation to find his killers. Bruno, a 7-year-old bloodhound, was found dead on Friday morning in his shed in southern Taranto. His trainer, Arcangelo Caressa, said that he had been fed bits of dog food laced with nails. In a social media post on Tuesday, Caressa urged police to 'find the killers before I do.' Premier Giorgia Meloni , who was photographed with Bruno after one of his heroic rescues, said that his slaughter was 'vile, cowardly, unacceptable.' Lawmaker Michael Vittoria Brambilla, a long-time animal rights activist, filed a criminal complaint with prosecutors under a new law that she helped push through stiffening penalties for anyone who kills or mistreats an animal Bruno, a seven-year-old bloodhound, had been hailed as a hero for finding nine missing people during his career, and was once honoured by Italy's prime minister.

Caressa said that he had told prosecutors that he suspected he was the ultimate target of Bruno's killers, and that Bruno was killed 'to get to me'. He cited his efforts at rescuing dogs that were being used for illegal dogfights, saying that he had already received threats for his work. He said he had given police investigators the names of two people whom he suspected. The new animal protection law, known as the Brambilla law, went into effect on July 1 and calls for up to four years in prison and a €60,000 (US$70,000) fine, with the stiffest penalties applied if the mistreatment is committed in front of children or is filmed and disseminated online. Italy mourns Bruno, a heroic police dog killed in a vile attack.
