00:07Plus, the internet grinds to a halt.

00:09An Amazon cloud outage takes down major sites worldwide from Snapchat to McDonald's.

00:15And a brazen robbery at the Louvre.

00:17Thieves scale the facade, smash the cases, and vanish with France's crown jewels.

00:24The stories that matter, clear and credible,

00:27from across the country to around the world.

00:30These are your unbiased updates from Straight Arrow News.

00:36Hello everyone, I'm Kaylee Carey, and today for Craig Negrelli.

00:40This morning, Gaza's ceasefire is holding, but only barely.

00:44After a deadly day of fire and blame, Israel says the truce is back on,

00:48following what it called a serious violation by Hamas.

00:52Israel says Hamas killed two soldiers Sunday,

00:54triggering retaliatory strikes that left at least 44 dead across Gaza

00:58and temporarily shut down aid deliveries.

01:01Israel's defense minister said Hamas would, quote,

01:04learn the hard way that the IDF is determined to protect soldiers.

01:08Hamas denies any attack,

01:10accusing Israel of using flimsy pretexts to justify new strikes.

01:15By nightfall, Israel announced it was reinstating the ceasefire

01:18and allowing humanitarian aid to resume.

01:21Vice President J.D. Vance, speaking to reporters at Joint Base Andrews last night,

01:26said the U.S. expects ups and downs as the peace deal takes hold.

01:30He also said he may head to Israel in the coming days.

01:34There are going to be moments where you have people within Gaza

01:37where you're not quite sure what they're actually doing.

01:39So we think that it has the best chance for a sustainable peace.

01:44But even if it does that, it's going to have hills and valleys

01:47and we're going to have to monitor the situation.

01:48CNN reports two of the deal's U.S. architects, Jared Kushner and Steve Witkoff,

01:54are also heading to the region this week

01:56as the Trump administration pushes for phase two of its Mid-East peace plan.

02:01An Amazon outage is wreaking havoc worldwide this morning,

02:04taking down some of the Internet's biggest names.

02:07Amazon Web Services, a cloud backbone for thousands of companies,

02:11suffered a major failure Monday,

02:13knocking out apps and websites from Robinhood and Snapchat to Hulu, McDonald's and Roblox.

02:18The company says the issue originated in its eastern U.S. region

02:22and the engineers are working to fix it.

02:25The website down-detector showed spikes in complaints from users around the globe.

02:30Even AI startup Perplexity and crypto platform Coinbase reported interruptions,

02:35both blaming AWS.

02:37The Pentagon says another U.S. strike in the Caribbean has killed three suspected traffickers,

02:43part of what the Trump administration is calling its new war on the cartels.

02:47Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth confirmed the strike Sunday,

02:50saying the boat, linked to a Colombian terror group,

02:53was destroyed Friday with, quote,

02:55substantial amounts of narcotics on board.

02:58All three men on the vessel were killed.

03:00No U.S. forces were hurt.

03:02Hegseth posted on X that these cartels are the al-Qaeda of the Western Hemisphere,

03:06adding they will be hunted and killed, just like al-Qaeda.

03:10This was the seventh strike in recent weeks,

03:12part of the administration's push to target drug cartels as terrorist groups.

03:17But critics, like Republican Senator Rand Paul,

03:19says the policy amounts to summary executions without due process.

03:24The FBI and Secret Service are investigating a security scare near Palm Beach International Airport

03:30after a suspicious hunting stand was found with a clear line of sight to Air Force One.

03:35The structure was discovered Thursday during a routine sweep,

03:38just hours before President Trump's arrival in Florida on Friday.

03:43Investigators say the wooden perch overlooked a section of the airport where private planes

03:47and at times Air Force One have parked.

03:50A senior official told NBC News that the stand was located across the street from that area

03:55and that Air Force One has parked there in the past.

03:59CBS News reports the stand appeared to have been there for months based on its condition.

04:03This morning, questions about how a live fire demonstration

04:08for the Marine Corps' 250th anniversary went wrong at Camp Pendleton.

04:13The New York Times reports that a 155-millimeter shell

04:17prematurely detonated Saturday, sending shrapnel onto highway patrol vehicles

04:21parked on a closed ramp along Interstate 5 in Oceanside, California.

04:26The officers were part of Vice President J.D. Vance's security detail.

04:30No one was hurt. Governor Gavin Newsom had ordered a 17-mile stretch of the freeway shut down

04:36after objecting to the plan to fire over it, calling the move reckless.

04:40Marine officials confirmed the shell exploded mid-air during the demonstration,

04:45which was immediately terminated.

04:47The U.S. Marines have launched an investigation into what went wrong.

04:51The event was attended by Vance and Defense Secretary Pete Hegseth.

04:54Two ground workers are dead after a cargo plane skidded off the runway and into the sea

05:00at Hong Kong International Airport.

05:02Officials say the plane struck an airport security vehicle around 4 a.m. local time today,

05:08shoving it into the water with two employees inside.

05:11The Emirates Boeing 747 had just arrived from Dubai and never issued a distress call before landing.

05:17When rescue crews' teams arrived, the jumbo jet was split in two,

05:21its four crew members unhurt and waiting at an open door to be pulled to safety.

05:26Investigators are now looking into what caused the plane to veer off course in the final moments of landing.

05:33Finally this morning, the hunt is on for a crew of masked thieves

05:36after one of the most audacious heists in Louvre history.

05:40In broad daylight Sunday, just 10 minutes after opening,

05:43four masked thieves pulled off what French officials said happened in just seven minutes.

05:48Using a mobile lift to scale the Louvre's facade,

05:50they cut through a window into the museum's gilded Apollo Gallery,

05:54the dazzling hall that showcases France's imperial crown jewels.

05:58This is where Napoleon's family treasures have glittered for decades.

06:02Cases of gold, sapphires, and emeralds under arched ceilings of gold leaf and light.

06:07The thieves knew exactly where to go,

06:09grinding through two display cases and making off with eight pieces linked to French royalty.

06:15Including an emerald necklace and earrings from Empress Marie-Louise

06:18and a tiara worn by the Empress Eugenie wife of Napoleon III,

06:23one of the crowns belonging to Eugenie was found outside badly damaged.

06:28Authorities say the stolen jewels are of inestimable value

06:31and believe the thieves were highly trained,

06:34possibly with inside knowledge of the building's security.

06:37The museum will remain closed today.

06:40And before we head out, here's what we're tracking today.
