The funeral of Alon Shamriz, one of three hostages mistakenly killed by Israeli troops Friday in a battle-torn neighborhood of Gaza City, was held on Sunday as the Israeli government faces mounting international pressure for a ceasefire with Hamas. And, police forces in Quebec, Saskatchewan and Manitoba are among those that have seen an increase this year in missing people over the age of 60.

The Israeli Defence Forces (IDF) head, Maj.-Gen. Herzi Halevi addressed his troops and the internal incident that took place on Friday related to the killing of three Israeli hostages in Gaza, amid the ongoing Israel-Hamas conflict. The murdered hostages were bare-chested and carrying a white flag as they sought help from the IDF, before they were mistakenly shot dead by the troops. “If it's two Gazans with a white flag coming out to surrender, would we shoot at them? Absolutely not … That's not the IDF,” Halevi said in a video released Sunday, where he suggested troops not make the same mistake again. “We arrest them, we don't shoot them. We get a lot of intelligence from the captives we have,” Halevi added. Meanwhile in Tel Aviv, Israeli army spokesperson, Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari said that the IDF has located the building the three hostages in question were staying in before being killed. Signs reading "S.O.S." and "Help, three hostages" in Hebrew were found on the walls of the Gaza where the men were staying. The IDF shared images of the building and signs on Sunday.

On top of the recalls on Malichita and Rudy brand cantaloupes, the U.S. Food and Drug Administration (FDA) has added recalls on granola bars and cereal from the Quaker Oats company due to fears they may be contaminated with salmonella. Mexico’s Health Department on Friday ordered the temporary closure of a melon-packing plant implicated in salmonella infections that killed five people in Canada and three in the United States. "Salmonella is a very common type of bacteria, but there are many different strains," says Joseph McPhee, a biomedical sciences professor at the Toronto Metropolitan University. This most recent (cantaloupe) outbreak is caused by an unusual strain of salmonella and we actually don’t know much about how it causes disease.” For more info, please go to https://globalnews.ca/news/10173609/cantaloupe-salmonella-plant-mexico/ Subscribe to Global News Channel HERE: http://bit.ly/20fcXDc Like Global News on Facebook HERE: http://bit.ly/255GMJQ Follow Global News on Twitter HERE: http://bit.ly/1Toz8mt Follow Global News on Instagram HERE: https://bit.ly/2QZaZIB #GlobalNews #cantaloupe

Another Beluga whale has died at Marineland this week, bringing the total number of whales that have died at the Niagara Falls, Ont. attraction to 15 over the past four years. It also comes after a Beluga died earlier this week at an aquarium in Connecticut after being transferred from Marineland in 2021. That aquarium is citing pre-existing conditions the mammal had coming from Marineland. This week’s events are intensifying calls for the province of Ontario to do more to implement animal welfare at the tourist attraction.
