Bengaluru, Aug 04: Politics is never stagnant water. At any time, the Congress-JDS alliance government can fall. Yeddyurappa may become Chief Minister again, said Union Minister DV Sadananda Gowda.

Speaking after inaugurating the district workers committee meeting at the party office here on Saturday, he said that it would not be astonishing if the government falls at any moment.

“BJP is confident of getting 70 percent seats in the municipal corporations, town municipalities, and other local bodies’ elections. People will teach a tough lesson to JDS-Congress in this election. People should not pay heed to media’s stories. They apply ‘masala’ for news. But our activists are the media for us. So believe in them,” he said.

“The corruption and scandals that took place during the Siddaramaiah government have continued in the coalition government as well. Earlier, they were looting alone, and now they are looting together. They are corrupt captains,” he mocked.

The Supreme Court has ordered not to keep migrants coming from neighboring countries. About 1.5 lakh illegal Bangladeshi immigrants are living in Bengaluru. Approximately four million illegal immigrants are living in Chikkamagaluru's coffee estates. For any reason, we will not allow the traitors to live here; he warned.

Deir al-Balah, May 18 (AP): Israel launched “extensive” new ground operations in the Gaza Strip while airstrikes in a new offensive killed at least 103 people, including dozens of children, overnight and into Sunday, hospitals and medics said, and forced northern Gaza's main hospital to close.

Airstrikes killed more than 48 people in and around the Palestinian territory's southern city of Khan Younis, some hitting houses and tents sheltering displaced people, according to Nasser Hospital, which said it struggled to count the dead because of the condition of the bodies. Eighteen children and 13 women were among them, spokesperson Weam Fares said.

In northern Gaza, a strike on a home in the built-up Jabaliya refugee camp killed nine members of a family, according to the Gaza Health Ministry's emergency services.

Another strike on a residence in Jabaliya killed 10, including seven children and a woman, according to the civil defence, which operates under the Hamas-run government.

In Gaza City, Um Mahmoud al-Aloul lay across the shrouded body of her daughter, Nour al-Aloul.

“You took my soul with you,” she cried. “I used to turn off my phone from how much you called.”

Israel's military had no immediate comment, but its statement announcing the ground operations said that preliminary strikes over the past week killed dozens of militants and struck more than 670 targets. Israel blames civilian casualties on Hamas because the militant group operates from civilian areas.

Israel launched the offensive Saturday with the aims of seizing territory, displacing hundreds of thousands of Palestinians to Gaza's south and taking greater control of aid distribution.

An Israeli blockade on food, medicine and other supplies is now in its third month, with global food security experts warning of famine across the territory of more than 2 million people.
