President Donald Trump has repeatedly said the word “tariffs” is one of his favorite and one of the most beautiful. He’s made that abundantly clear over the past few months by enacting sweeping tariffs on all America’s trading partners, levying higher import taxes on specific products, and threatening yet more action.

For those keeping score – or at least attempting to – you’ll quickly learn that no tariff is set in stone. At the flick of a switch, Trump has significantly dialed up and down tariffs – both ones in place and ones he’s threatened.

But Trump’s ability to continue minting tariffs faces a crucial test after landmark rulings by the Court of International Trade, which the administration is appealing.

Where do tariffs stand now and how did we get here? Keep scrolling to find out.

The deadly surprise attack in Gaza was almost as shocking as its location.

On Monday night, a group of Israeli soldiers walked across a route used by tanks and armored vehicles about a mile from the border fence when a bomb exploded.

Remotely operated, it tore into the troops from the Netzah Yehuda battalion, a unit made up of ultra-Orthodox soldiers.

More Israeli forces rushed to their aid as a second bomb exploded, also remotely operated. When a third bomb went off moments later, it came with a hail of small arms fire from a Hamas cell that had been hiding nearby.

Within minutes, five Israeli soldiers had been killed and 14 more wounded, some with critical injuries.

The attack took place in the city of Beit Hanoun in Gaza’s northeast corner, easily visible from the Israeli city of Sderot, in territory that was supposed to be under Israeli military control.

An initial investigation found the Hamas cell placed the bombs within the previous 24 hours, preparing an ambush against Israeli forces, who likely believed they were operating in relative safety so close to Israeli territory.

The complex attack highlights a Hamas shift to guerilla-stye tactics as the militant group, battered and weakened after nearly 21 months of war, wages an insurgency campaign against the Israeli military. But even in its depleted state, Hamas has continued to mount deadly attacks against Israeli forces in the strip. Throughout the war, Israeli forces have had to return to parts of Gaza multiple times as Hamas reemerges in areas Israel claimed it had cleared. The recent string of attacks shows that Israel’s goal of eradicating Hamas remains very elusive.

Hamas’ military wing, the Al-Qassam Brigades, said Monday’s attack happened “in an area the occupation thought was safe after leaving no stone unturned.”

In a statement, Hamas described the war as a “battle of attrition” waged against Israel, one in which it would attempt to add to the soldiers it seized during the Oct. 7 attacks.

“Even if it miraculously succeeded recently in freeing its soldiers from hell, it may fail later, leaving us with additional prisoners,” Hamas said.

On Wednesday, Hamas militants targeted an Israeli military engineering vehicle in Khan Younis, launching a rocket-propelled grenade and charging the vehicle as the driver tried to flee, as seen in a video of the attack released by Hamas. According to the Israeli military, the militants tried to abduct the soldier, killing him in the process. The attempt was thwarted by Israeli forces operating in the area. In a statement posted on Telegram two days later, the Al-Qassam Brigades vowed “the fate of the next soldier will be better as our new prisoner.”

The brutal, grinding war of Gaza contrasts sharply with Israel’s quick and precise operation in Iran, a campaign carried out by air and on land without any military casualties. Since the end of the 12-day Israel-Iran conflict, at least 19 soldiers have been killed in Gaza, according to the Israel Defense Forces (IDF), including the attack in Beit Hanoun.

On the day of the Israel-Iran ceasefire, a Hamas militant threw an incendiary device down the open hatch of an armored engineering vehicle in southern Gaza, killing all seven soldiers inside. The attack was one of the deadliest incidents in months for the IDF in Gaza.

Former IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi said in January that Israel had killed 20,000 Hamas fighters since the beginning of the war. Israel has also assassinated much of the terror organization’s top leadership. But Hamas has recruited new fighters as well, a senior Israeli military official said earlier this year, replenishing their ranks. In March, Israel’s public broadcast, Kan News, reported that Hamas had recruited “hundreds” of new fighters.

What remains is a loosely organized group of militant cells, able to carry out hit-and-run attacks, using what remains of Gaza’s underground tunnel network to move and stay hidden, according to Retired Maj. Gen Israel Ziv, former head of the IDF’s Operations Directorate.

Hamas has had time to study how the IDF operates, Ziv told CNN, and they are turning that to their advantage.

“Their war is built around our weaknesses. They don’t defend territory — they seek targets,” he said.

Ziv said the strain on Israel’s military manpower has allowed Hamas to exploit vulnerabilities, even in its weakened state.

“Hamas has undergone a transformation — it has become a guerrilla organization operating in small cells. It has an abundance of explosives, much of it from the munitions the IDF has dropped there. This is a war of IEDs. Hamas is creating ambushes and taking initiative by controlling key bottlenecks,” said Ziv.

Operating as decentralized, independent groups has made it harder for Israel to target a cohesive leadership structure. Last month, an Israeli military official told CNN that it has become more difficult to effectively target what remains of Hamas.

“It’s harder now to achieve tactical goals,” the official said.

Hamas long ago expended the vast majority of its rocket arsenal, able now to launch only sporadic rockets that have near-zero impact. But their ability to move among the ruins of Gaza, armed with improvised explosive devices culled from tens of thousands of Israeli munitions, has turned the rubble of the besieged enclave into a source of resilience.

Challenged by armed gangs in southern Gaza and a population that has expressed open anger at Hamas, the militant group has nevertheless found a way to continue the fight, exacting a deadly price with each passing week that goes by without a ceasefire.

Even with talks ongoing in Doha and signs of some progress, a ceasefire remains elusive, with mediators so far unable to bridge the key gaps between the sides. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu said during his recent trip to Washington, DC that Hamas must lay down its arms, ceding its military and governing capability, or Israel will resume the war.

But Hamas has shown no willingness to make such major concessions in negotiations, and the recent attacks are an indication of the power they still retain.

Israeli settlers killed a 20-year-old Palestinian-American man in the West Bank, according to the Palestinian Ministry of Health and an eyewitness, as settler violence against Palestinians ramps up in the occupied territory.

Twenty-year-old Sayfollah Musallet “was martyred after being severely beaten all over his body by settlers in the town of Sinjil, north of Ramallah,” the health ministry said in a statement on Friday.

The municipality of Sinjel said that Musallet died following a “barbaric attack” carried out by settlers as part of “daily assaults” on local residents. It alleged Israeli forces stormed the area at the same time as the settlers’ attack, obstructing the work of paramedics and volunteers.

A friend of the deceased man’s family told CNN he was with Musallet and took him to a hospital in Ramallah, adding the young man was an American citizen born in Tampa, Florida.

Israel’s military said it was “aware of reports regarding a Palestinian civilian killed and a number of injured Palestinians as a result of the confrontation, and they are being looked into by the ISA [Israeli Security Agency] and Israel Police.”

Musallet’s family is demanding the US State Department lead an investigation into the incident.

“We are devastated that our beloved Sayfollah Musallet (nicknamed Saif) was brutally beaten to death by Israeli settlers while he was protecting his family’s land from settlers who were attempting to steal it,” the family said in a statement.

“We demand justice.”

The US State Department said in a statement to CNN that it is aware of reports of the death of an American in the West Bank, without providing a name.

“Out of respect for the privacy of the family and loved ones during this difficult time, we have no further comment,” a department spokesperson said.

Musallet ran a business in Tampa and had been in the West Bank since June 4 to visit family and friends, the family statement said.

A second Palestinian man died in the attack in Sinjel after he was shot in the chest by settlers, the Palestinian Ministry of Health said. Ten others were wounded in the same attack, it added.

The municipality said in a social media post Friday that settlers had also attacked an ambulance while paramedics were working near Sinjel.

In a video accompanying the post which CNN has geolocated to the outskirts of Sinjel an ambulance can be seen with a smashed windscreen and rear window.

CNN has reached out to the Israeli military and police about the incident.

Following the attacks, the Palestinian Ministry of Foreign Affairs criticised what it called Israel’s expanding settlement projects in the occupied territory and called for urgent action to hold the perpetrators of settler violence accountable.

Israel has recently ramped up military operations in the West Bank, displacing tens of thousands of Palestinians and razing entire communities as it targets what it says are militants operating in the territory.

Multiple American citizens have been killed in the West Bank in the past few years, according to Palestinian officials and eyewitnesses, including a 14-year-old boy whom the Israeli military shot dead last April in what they described as a “counterterrorism operation.”

Israeli soldiers also shot dead a 26-year-old woman during a protest against an Israeli settlement in September 2024.

A man died after he was sucked into the engine of a departing plane at Milan airport in northern Italy, local media reported on Tuesday.

The aircraft had just left the stand at Milan Bergamo Airport en route to Asturias, northwestern Spain, on Tuesday morning local time, according to CNN affiliate Sky TG24, when the incident occurred.

Corriere della Sera newspaper reported that unnamed airport officials said an individual ran onto the tarmac as the plane was preparing to take off and got sucked into the engine.

An individual who was not onboard the plane or affiliated with the airline was “seriously injured,” according to the Spanish carrier Volotea. All 154 passengers and six crew members were safe and being provided with psychological support, Volotea said.

Authorities have launched an investigation into how the individual was able to reach the runway from outside the airport. CNN has contacted Milan airport officials and police for comment.

Officials resumed flights from the transit hub on Tuesday midday local time, according to the airport, after they temporarily delayed flights due to the incident.

Olivia Munn is sharing that she lives with a health condition not many people know about.

Munn spoke about her experience with trichotillomania – a mental health condition that “involves frequent, repeated and irresistible urges to pull out hair from your scalp, eyebrows or other areas of your body,” according to the Mayo Clinic – while appearing on Monday’s episode of the “Armchair Expert” podcast.

“It could be hair at the top of your head, because there’s a sensation. It’s probably not even real, but I’ll feel like, oh, this eyelash feels like it’s gonna come out,” Munn said. “And then when you pull it, there is a quick second of pain. And then there’s a satisfaction and an immediate regret.”

An incident with the paparazzi that happened while Munn was dating actor Chris Pine, to whom she was romantically linked between 2009 and 2010, sparked the onset of the condition, she said.

Munn told the podcast’s hosts Dax Shepard and Monica Padman that the then-couple were photographed leaving his apartment together at the time, and the photos were posted online.

“I did the horrible thing, which was to read the comments… And they were like, ‘I think she set this up!’” Munn said regarding some of the insensitive reactions she read online. “That began my trichotillomania. That was the very beginning.”

The “X-Men: Apocalypse” actress has been open about her health in recent years after she first revealed that she was diagnosed with a form of breast cancer known as Luminal B cancer in 2024.

The cancer was found in both of her breasts, and Munn’s treatment included a double mastectomy.

Munn also shared in May that she underwent a hysterectomy as part of her treatment, telling Vogue that the procedure was an alternative to taking a cancer treatment medication that was causing her to experience “next-level, debilitating exhaustion.” It was “the best decision for me because I needed to be present for my family,” she added at the time.
