Electrical problem delays Discovery launch at Cape Canaveral
The final shuttle Discovery launch is delayed due to an electrical issue on Tuesday. A sluggish backup engine controller and voltage irregularities prompted NASA to push liftoff to at least Thursday, with possible delays into December or later depending on weather and sun angles. NASA said debris in a circuit breaker may have caused the problem, as teams scrambles at the launch site amid a 70 percent chance of rain.

Easing Gaza blockade cripples smuggling tunnels activity
After Israel relaxed Gaza’s blockade in June, hundreds of smuggling tunnels have largely shut down. Only a few dozen remain active while Hamas still relies on some restricted goods. Merchants shift to legal imports for cheaper, predictable supply and sparing risk from crackdowns and airstrikes.
