Kidnapped from the Nova music festival on October 7, 2023, Gilboa-Dalal described in a Channel 12 News interview how a captor dragged him from a shower, assaulted him despite protests invoking Islamic prohibitions, and silenced him with weapons. He emerged emaciated with potential permanent hearing loss from tunnels and homes, as one of the last living hostages freed in an October 13 exchange. His account is the second public testimony from a male survivor of sexual abuse, amid prior reports of systematic violence against hostages.

Key Takeaway

Guy Gilboa-Dalal froze as his naked body was groped by a Hamas guard, who then pressed a knife to his neck and rifle to his head, threatening death if he spoke. The 25-year-old endured this assault after 738 days in Gaza captivity.

Abu Shabab commanded the Popular Forces, a small group armed by Israel to counter Hamas in an Israeli-held zone east of Rafah. His militia clashed with Hamas fighters and guarded aid operations, though critics accused them of looting convoys amid Gaza's shortages. Both his group and Israeli sources described the Thursday incident as an internal clash, not foul play, dealing a blow to Israel's efforts to back local clans against Hamas rule. His deputy pledged to carry on the fight.

New research from the Irish Fiscal Advisory Council shows two unnamed tech companies—widely seen as Apple and Microsoft—paid nearly €11 billion, or 40% of Ireland's 2024 corporation tax, with Eli Lilly covering most of the rest to reach 46% total. Corporation tax has nearly doubled since 2021, boosted by global 15% minimum rates that will add €5 billion more from 2026, but the council warns of risks from over-reliance on a few U.S. firms amid AI uncertainties, regulations, and policy shifts. While multinationals bring jobs, exports like Eli Lilly's €36 billion in drug ingredients, and funds like the €20 billion Strategic Transformation Fund, online concerns echo the 2008 crash, urging bigger savings buffers.

Key Takeaway

Imagine three companies footing nearly half of a nation's corporate tax bill. That's Ireland's reality, where two tech giants and one pharma firm drove the bulk of last year's €28.1 billion haul.
