BEIRUT (AP) — Syria's president early Wednesday doubled public sector wages and pensions as the war-torn country's national currency spiraled further downwards, reaching a new low for the year. President Bashar Assad issued the two decrees just before midnight Tuesday as the Syrian pound's value against the U.S. dollar declined to a new low since the beginning of 2023, down from 7,000 to 15,000 pounds to the greenback. At the start of the conflict in 2011, the dollar was trading at 47 pounds. For over a year, Damascus has been restructuring its program of subsidies for gasoline, diesel for heating, and bread.

news It has been known for a while that a Lara Croft skin is coming to (and Modern Warfare 2). She will be added as an Operator on September 9 during Season 5 Reloaded, and now we have gotten a first glimpse of this new version of the heroine. As you can see, she looks like something of a mix between Lara Croft from the latest trilogy of games (Tomb Raider, Rise of the Tomb Raider and Shadow of the Tomb Raider) and the original from the 90's adventures on the original PlayStation and Sega Saturn.

The recent operation in the Occupied West Bank and car ramming attack in Tel Aviv worryingly underscore an all too familiar pattern of events: that violence only begets more violence. The killing, maiming and the destruction of property must stop. Overnight 3,000 Palestinians reportedly fled Jenin camp after a wave of deadly air strikes on the camp. Then, this morning seven people were hurt in a car ramming attack in Tel Aviv. The scale of the Israeli Security Forces' ongoing operation in Jenin, including the use of repeated airstrikes, along with the destruction of property, raises a host of serious issues with respect to international human rights norms and standards, including protecting and respecting the right to life.
