Maryland homeowner accidentally burns house down in effort to fight snake infestation Fire resulted in estimated $1 million in damages By Emmett Jones Fox News Published December 4, 2021 12:25pm EST A Maryland homeowner accidentally burned down a house in November while attempting to use smoke to get rid of a snake infestation. Pete Pringer, Montgomery County Fire and Rescue Service's public information officer, and other first responders were at the property Thursday to investigate. (Pete Pringer/Montgomery County Fire Rescue Service) "The homeowner was using smoke to manage a snake infestation. It is believed that the heat source was too close to the combustible that caused the fire in the walls and ceiling area, unbeknownst to the homeowner at the time," Pringer said in Friday's recorded voice note of the incident. The fire began in the basement. By the time firefighters extinguished the flames at the large single-family home, an estimated $1 million in damage had been done.

So tell us what percentage of the 41,000 were Hamas militants? Maybe the Hamas Health Ministry can provide complete information. Most estimates state that approximately 50% of the deaths are Hamas militants. Noting that 1/3 of Hamas militants are children under the age of 18. Certainly Gaza is a mess in term of food aid and housing. I have outlined previously that more needs to be done to provide temporary housing for the displaced and to increase the distribution of food. The problem being that Hamas steals a good portion of the food and the remainder of the food appears to be horded & sold by unscrupulous characters rather than distributed for free. The situation is a complete mess -- and the blame squarely falls on Hamas.
When you're an asshole in your community, you'll create your own enemies. Religious concept: I'm with God, God is on my side, I have enemies because my enemies hate God therefore they hate me. Reality: I believe in fairytales, I behave weirdly, I don't wish to associate with others in my community who don't share my weird beliefs, I don't wish to compromise, I create my own distance, I'm happy to expect enemies.
Heavy Israeli Bombardment in Northern Gaza as U.N. Peacekeepers in Lebanon Are Hit Again Residents of a building damaged in an airstrike return to collect their family's belongings in Beirut, Lebanon, on Saturday, Oct. 12, 2024. Hassan Ammar—AP By SAMY MAGDY and BASSEM MROUE / AP October 12, 2024 https://time.com/7086350/israeli-bo...za-united-nations-peacekeeping-force-lebanon/ BEIRUT — Palestinians in northern Gaza described heavy Israeli bombardment Saturday in the hours after airstrikes killed at least 22 people, as Israel continued to tell people there and in southern Lebanon to get out of the way of its offensives against the Hamas and Hezbollah militant groups. In Lebanon, the United Nations peacekeeping force said its headquarters in Naqoura had again been hit, with a peacekeeper struck by gunfire late Friday and in stable condition. It wasn’t clear who fired. The shooting occurred a day after Israel’s military fired on the headquarters for the second straight day. Israel, which has warned the peacekeepers to leave their positions, didn’t immediately respond to questions. Hunger warnings emerged again as residents in northern Gaza said they hadn't received aid since the beginning of the month. The U.N. World Food Program said no food aid had entered the north since Oct. 1. An estimated 400,000 people remain there. Israel’s military renewed its offensive in northern Gaza almost a week ago while escalating its air and ground campaign against the Iran-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon. Lebanon’s state-run National News Agency said an Israeli airstrike hit an apartment building in the Zarout coastal area on the edge of Barja south of Beirut, and the Health Ministry said four were killed. The ministry said another airstrike on the village of Maisra northeast of Beirut killed five. The total toll in Lebanon over the past year of conflict between Israel and Hezbollah is now 2,255 killed, according to the Lebanese Health Ministry. Hezbollah continued to fire into Israel. “We will keep standing with the Lebanese people during these difficult circumstances and also with the Palestinian people,” the speaker of Iran’s parliament, Mohammad Bagher Qalibaf, said Saturday while touring the scene of an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Gaza residents are trapped In northern Gaza, residents told The Associated Press many were trapped in their homes and shelters with dwindling supplies while seeing bodies uncollected in the streets as the bombing hampered emergency responders. Those who rushed to the scene of the latest deadly airstrikes in the urban refugee camp of Jabaliya found a hole 20 meters (65 feet) deep where a home once stood. At least 20 bodies were recovered as of Saturday morning, while others likely were trapped under the rubble, emergency service officials said. Elsewhere in Jabaliya, a strike on a home killed two brothers and wounded a woman and newborn baby, the officials said. Another strike in the afternoon hit a Jabaliya home and killed at least four people including a woman, said Fares Abu Hamza, an official with the emergency service. Israel's military did not immediately respond to request for comment on the strikes. Military spokesperson Avichay Adraee told people in parts of Jabaliya and Gaza City to evacuate south to an Israeli-designated humanitarian zone as Israel plans to use great force “and will continue to do so for a long time.” Israel has repeatedly returned to parts of Gaza as Hamas and other militants regroup. The war has destroyed large areas of Gaza and displaced around 90% of its population of 2.3 million people, often multiple times. Once again, some families moved south on foot, in donkey carts or crowded in vehicles that navigated piles of rubble. Others refused to go. “It’s like the first days of the war,” said a Jabaliya resident, Ahmed Abu Goneim. “The occupation is doing everything to uproot us. But we will not leave.” The 24-year-old said Israeli warplanes and drones struck many neighboring houses in the past week, He counted 15 relatives and neighbors, including four women and five children as young as 3, killed in neighboring homes. He said there were dead in the streets and “no one is able to recover them because of the bombing.” Hamza Sharif, who stays with his family in a school-turned shelter in Jabaliya, described “constant bombings day and night.” He said the shelter has not received aid since the beginning of the month. “Families depend on what they have stored, but they will run out of supplies very soon,” he said. Food is running out The World Food Program said it was unclear how long the limited food supplies it distributed in northern Gaza earlier will last. The U.N.’s independent investigator on the right to food last month accused Israel of carrying out a “starvation campaign” against Palestinians, which Israel has denied.
While Israel continues to commit attrocities and violence in the middle east, Biden continues unabated bomb supplies to Israel.
