Israel vows crushing retaliation as Gaza clashes escalate
Israel launches a major airstrike campaign and plans a ground incursion after Hamas rockets hit Israeli towns. Two Hamas militants were killed in Gaza City strikes, and a school and storage facilities were hit in southern Gaza wounding 17. The move heightens risk to a fragile seven month ceasefire as security officials outline Operation First Rain with artillery, air strikes, and planned ground actions.

IMF Steering Endorses Debt Cancellation Plan for Poor Nations
IMF steering committee endorses elements of a debt cancellation deal clearing a hurdle ahead of formal approval by the IMF executive board. The plan would forgive about 40 billion dollars in debt owed to the IMF World Bank and African Development Bank by at least 18 poor countries, mostly in Africa, with up to 20 more eligible. The total potential relief could exceed 55 billion dollars, funded over decades with backing from the Group of Eight.
