TEL AVIV, Israel (AP) — The Israeli military continued a massive military operation in the occupied West Bank on Sunday, displacing hundreds of Palestinians and placing major restrictions on movement in response to a gun attack that killed two Israeli soldiers and wounded three others in Hebron on Friday. The operation comes as Israel enters the final days before a tense election, which is largely seen as a referendum on current Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s leadership and security policies during the past three years of war. Most Palestinian workers with permits will not be allowed to enter Israeli settlements for work in the occupied West Bank on Sunday and Monday, and crossings into Israel will remain closed until after Israel’s elections on Tuesday, the Israeli military said. The military said it operated in more than 400 different locations over the weekend and arrested 40 Palestinians it claimed were affiliated with Hamas or Palestinian Islamic Jihad. It said the operation is continuing at the same intensity on Sunday.

While the increasingly authoritarian Vucic has routinely outplayed Serbia’s fractured opposition in the past, the leaderless youth movement has proved to be a tough opponent that rattled his firm grip on power in Serbia like no one else could in the 14 years since his party took office. A students’ victory likely would resonate beyond Serbia as countries across Europe face youth and student protests. Long lines form at polling placesVoters queued at polling places around the country early Sunday as local election monitors said turnout in the first three hours of voting was more than a double what it had been in the last parliamentary election in 2023. The state election commission is yet to release its first report, but the student movement on its website dubbed the long lines of voters across the country “queues of hope.”In the capital, Belgrade, Vucic stood alongside his wife for nearly two hours before casting his ballot, and later told reporters that he hopes for a peaceful election day and that he and his party will respect the election result. “The will of the people is the will of God: vox populi, vox dei,” Vucic said. “If we lose, we will recognize the electoral will.

The disaster eventually triggered a $90 million-plus federal overhaul of the Muddy River, the relatively shallow and flat river that winds through local parks and overflowed in the storm. Back in the mid-1990s, the Muddy River was markedly different than it is today. The 3½-mile-long waterway that meanders from Jamaica Pond to the Charles River was choking. An invasive kind of reed had obstructed it at different points. The river was also congested by decades of sediment. One of the more visible results of the years-long restoration that changed the river may be parkland near the Landmark Center in the Fenway neighborhood. Previously, that green space was a Sears parking lot that forced the Muddy into too small underground pipes. The flooding showed the folly of that design, and the river was “daylighted” in that part of the city as part of the restoration project, which returned the parking lot to the urban green space it once was. “It’s like the Joni Mitchell song played backwards and forwards,” Mauney-Brodek said. People fished on the Muddy River in the Fenway across from the Landmark Center on Oct 22.
