Israel says 3 soldiers killed in Gaza in deadliest attack on its forces since truce ended in March
The Israeli military said Tuesday that three of its soldiers were killed in the Gaza Strip, in what appeared to be the deadliest attack on Israel's forces since it ended a ceasefire with Hamas in March. The military said the three soldiers, all in their early 20s, fell during combat in northern Gaza on Monday, without providing details. Israeli media reported that they were killed in an explosion in the Jabaliya area. Israel ended the ceasefire in March after Hamas refused to change the agreement to release more hostages sooner. Israeli strikes have killed thousands of Palestinians since then, according to Gaza's Health Ministry. Hamas-led militants killed some 1,200 people, mostly civilians, and took 251 people hostages in the Oct 7, 2023, attack into Israel that ignited the war. They are still holding 58 hostages, a third of them believed to be alive, after most of the rest were released in ceasefire agreements or other deals. Israel's military campaign has killed over 54,000 Palestinians, mostly women and children, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, which does not say how many of the dead were civilians or combatants. Israel says it has killed around 20,000 militants, without providing evidence. Around 860 Israeli soldiers have been killed since the Oct 7 attack, including more than 400 during the fighting inside Gaza.

BJP leader hits out at Karnataka govt over FIRs against Sangh leaders
Bengaluru, June 3 (UNI) Leader of Opposition in the Karnataka Assembly R Ashoka on Tuesday launched a blistering attack on the Congress government in Karnataka, accusing it of shielding anti-national elements while targeting Hindu voices under the guise of curbing hate speech. Reacting sharply to the FIRs registered against BJP MLC Chalavadi Narayanaswamy, Legislative Council chief whip N Ravikumar, and RSS ideologue Kalladka Prabhakar Bhat, Ashoka questioned the Congress government's silence during an earlier Assembly incident. "Where were you, Congress, when 'Pakistan Zindabad' was shouted in the Assembly? Were you eating mud?" Ashoka thundered. "Today, when our jawans are laying down their lives at the borders in Operation Sindhoor, you remain silent as some run social media campaigns in favour of Pakistan. But you rush to book FIRs against Hindu leaders," Ashoka said. Calling the Congress government one "without a shred of dignity or responsibility," the former minister alleged that law and order in Karnataka had collapsed under Siddaramaiah's leadership. Ashoka also charged the Congress with selectively persecuting Hindus. "If someone says 'Pakistan Zindabad', they are free to roam. But if I say 'I am a Hindu', you look at me with contempt. You need Hindu votes to win, you need Hindus to form the government, but suddenly we are not wanted anymore?" he said. Ashoka's remarks are expected to escalate the political confrontation in Karnataka, especially with Congress already facing flak over its recent moves to rein in right-wing rhetoric. With the BJP turning the debate into one over nationalism, freedom of religion, and selective action, the heat is set to rise both in the streets and inside the Assembly. UNI BDN PRS
