The club is strutting into a future different from the one envisioned by its president, Florentino Pérez. But its prospects are as bright as ever.

The Israeli military, which has accepted responsibility for the strike, has started looking into the killings of seven aid workers. But the disaster relief organization said that was not enough.

The deaths of World Central Kitchen workers pushed the number of aid employees killed during the war in Gaza to at least 196, according to the U.N. secretary general, António Guterres.

Decades of learning from disasters, tightening building codes and increasing public awareness may have helped its people better weather strong quakes.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu of Israel acknowledged on Tuesday a “tragic case of our forces unintentionally hitting innocent people.”

The quake set off aftershocks and damaged dozens of buildings, killing nine people and leaving many injured or trapped.

The leaders included Gen. Mohammad Reza Zahedi, the senior most leader in Iran’s armed forces assassinated since Qassim Suleimani was killed in 2020.

Plus, President Biden talked to Xi Jinping.

The group said one of the seven workers who was killed was a dual citizen of the U.S. and Canada, while the others were from Australia, Britain, Gaza and Poland.

The nonprofit has become a crucial source of food for desperate Gazans. The Israeli military said it was investigating.
