State Department warns Hamas may violate ceasefire with attack on Palestinian civilians

The U.S. Department of State on Saturday warned there are "credible reports" that Hamas may break the peace agreement with a "planned attack" on Palestinian civilians. "This planned attack against Palestinian civilians would constitute a direct and grave violation of the ceasefire agreement and undermine the significant progress achieved through mediation efforts," the department said in a statement on social media. "The guarantors demand Hamas uphold its obligations under the ceasefire terms." The statement concluded, "The United States and the other guarantors remain resolute in our commitment to ensuring the safety of civilians, maintaining calm on the ground, and advancing peace and prosperity for the people of Gaza and the region as a whole." A ceasefire between Israel and Hamas went into effect last weekend after two years of war in the region following the Oct. 7, 2023, attacks in southern Israel. HAMAS DEFENDS EXECUTIONS OF PALESTINIANS AFTER TRUMP ISSUES STERN WARNING TO TERROR GROUP On Monday, the 20 remaining surviving Israeli hostages were returned to Israel per the agreement, but more than a dozen remains of hostages who were killed are still under Hamas control. The State Department added that "measures will be taken to protect the people of Gaza and preserve the integrity of the ceasefire" if Hamas proceeds with the attack. On Thursday, President Donald Trump issued a warning on Truth Social after footage circulated online showing Hamas fighters executing Palestinians in Gaza City’s main square. "If Hamas continues to kill people in Gaza, which was not the deal, we will have no choice but to go in and kill them," he wrote. ISRAELI TROOPS 'OPEN FIRE' ON SUSPECTS WHO APPROACHED SOLDIERS IN NORTHERN GAZA According to Reuters, at least 33 people were executed by Hamas in recent days in what officials described as a campaign to "show strength" after the ceasefire. Israeli sources say most of those killed belonged to families accused of collaborating with Israel or supporting rival militias. Trump later clarified that U.S. troops would not go into Gaza.

McDonald's worker shoots customer in neck during 'McMess' altercation, Florida sheriff says

A Florida sheriff called an altercation involving a worker and two customers at a McDonald’s in Polk County last weekend a "McMess" after it left one of the men with a minor gunshot wound to the neck. Polk County Sheriff Grady Judd explained in a video posted to social media that a McDonald’s in the area had become inundated with online orders after several events in the area let out early Sunday morning. Judd said the worker, Yoan Soto, 21, "politely" told Nicholas Jones, 18, and Peter Story, 20, who had pulled into the drive-thru, "‘Hey, sorry guys, we’re way behind. Our online orders are overwhelming us.’" He said after Soto told the two men that the store couldn’t take their order, they allegedly started threatening him.

"‘When you get off, we are going to beat you up.’ They threatened to attack the man who just told them, ‘We’re busy, we can’t take any more orders,’ and he did that because the manager told him to. They threatened him with violence." Soto told the men he didn’t get off work until 4 a.m., and he went back to work. "What do these goober smoochers do?" Judd continued, adding that Jones and Story then parked and entered the restaurant. "And they continue to threaten," he said. "They’re having a McArgument in the McDonald’s over McHamburgers or lack of McHamburgers." He said either Story or Jones allegedly said they had a "switch," a "30-clip," and Soto replied that he also had a gun. He said the manager stepped in between the three men to stop the "McRabble." "So, they continue to threaten a mass shooting cause there’s customers there with their firearms," Judd said, adding that Soto went to get his gun and threatened Jones and Story with it in the main part of the store. WATCH: FOOD ORDER MIX-UP TRIGGERS BRAWL AT BURGER JOINT, LEADING TO SEVEN ARRESTS The manager of the McDonald’s told Story and Jones to leave because they were trespassing, but Jones claimed that only law enforcement can declare he’s trespassing, which Judd clarified isn’t the case. As the two men tried to grab Soto’s gun, he pulled the trigger and shot Story in the neck, Judd said. "It’s a blessing that it was a very minor wound, but you know what? When you start shooting McGuns, you’ll get people’s attention, and they’ll let you McHave the restaurant and that’s what they did," Judd said. Jones then drove Story to a hospital and called the police. Soto fled but was called back to the restaurant when deputies arrived, Judd explained, adding that Soto cooperated and has been charged with felony tampering with evidence. Story and Jones were charged with trespass after warning and disorderly conduct. "Listen folks, it’s never OK to threaten a mass shooting. It’s never OK to threaten to beat people up at a business. And it’s never OK to grab your ammunition and your firearm and run after a shooting," Judd said.

"They created a well-founded fear in him and the store manager," he said. "It was just a McMess. But we’ll sort it out, because we’re McGood at investigating McCrime."
