she breathed a sigh of relief, thinking it would be a safe place to wait out the rockets.“We know now that the shelter we went into was basically going into a death trap,” she said.Nearly 30 people had crammed into the concrete shelter meant to hold about 10. When Hamas militants arrived, they started tossing grenades inside.
A former soldier was able to toss out eight grenades, but the ninth exploded inside the shelter, instantly killing about half the people, Abud said. In the smoke and chaos, militants grabbed people to take as hostages and sprayed the shelter with bullets.The roadside bomb shelter where Ziv Abud survived, protected by the crush of bodies above her, during the attack by Hamas militants on Oct. 7, 2023, is seen at dusk near Kibbutz Reim, southern Israel, Wednesday, Sept. 11, 2024.

It plans to have 82% of Australia’s energy grid powered by renewables by 2030.The opposition argues the government’s policy of replacing coal and gas with renewable energy sources including wind turbines and solar cells is unachievable, and would reduce investment in clean energy technologies.
The opposition would rely on more gas to generate electricity until atomic power was established. It would not set a new target for 2030 before the election.Trade and diplomatic relations between Australia and China plunged to new depths in 2020 after the previous conservative Australian government demanded an international inquiry into the origins of and responses to the COVID-19 pandemic.
