Three American troops killed in drone strike in Jordan
Three American soldiers from a Georgia Army Reserve unit were killed in Northeast Jordan when a drone struck their outpost. The Pentagon suspects the attack was carried out by the militant group Khateb Hezbollah, based in Iraq. The drone may have been mistaken for an American drone, as it went unintercepted. President Biden has stated that the U.S. plans to respond to the attack while urging caution against escalating the conflict into a wider war. Israel has also intensified its accusations against the UN's Palestinian aid agency, accusing 190 agency employees of being Hamas militants and cutting funding by 50%.
French farmers protest in Paris demanding fair prices and aid
French farmers have blockaded Paris with tractors, hay bales, and signs to demand fair prices for their produce, diesel subsidies, and aid for organic farming. Farmers in France are frustrated with overregulation and cheap imports, and up to 90% of the French public supports their cause. The prime minister's concessions were not enough to satisfy the farmers, leading the French President to hold an emergency cabinet meeting and mobilize 15,000 police officers. The farmers plan to maintain their protest until Thursday, when President Macron meets with other EU leaders to address their demands.
