[5.9] US will airdrop sterile flies over Mexico, Texas — dn.se (Swedish) (+2)

The United States is launching a massive effort to eradicate a flesh-eating fly larva threatening the cattle industry and livestock. Billions of sterilized larvae will be released via aircraft over Mexico and Texas.

This initiative aims to combat the "new world screwworm," whose larvae infest wounds, potentially killing livestock. The U.S. Department of Agriculture will sterilize male flies through radiation before releasing them to prevent reproduction.

This method, previously successful in eradicating the larvae in the U.S. and Panama, is considered more environmentally friendly than spraying.

[5.8] Hamas security officer says group has lost control over most of Gaza — bbc.com (+5)

A Hamas security officer revealed the group has lost approximately 80% of its control over Gaza due to Israeli strikes, with armed clans filling the power vacuum.

The officer stated that Israeli attacks have decimated Hamas's leadership and security structure, leading to a collapse in command and control. He described widespread looting and a complete breakdown of security, with armed groups now operating freely.

This internal disintegration comes after a ceasefire earlier this year, and as rival armed groups emerge, potentially challenging Hamas's remaining authority in the increasingly lawless Gaza Strip.
