Nayib Bukele said the bodies handed to Salvadoran forces in Haiti were "not our men"Four bodies handed over to special forces on a mission to Haiti to recover Salvadoran hostages are "not our men", El Salvador's president has said. Nayib Bukele said a nongovernmental organisation delivered the human remains to one of Haiti's airports claiming they were four El Salvadoran air technicians, but that one of the corpses was a child's and another was wearing a different country's army uniform. He had dispatched a military contingent, reportedly of hundreds of soldiers, on Thursday after the four men vanished after being ambushed by "heavily armed criminal groups". The hostages had been part of the UN-backed Gang Suppression Force (GSF), which is tasked with tackling worsening gang violence in Haiti. The men had been travelling back to their camp in an armoured vehicle when they were attacked in an area of the Caribbean island nation controlled by armed groups called Croix-des-Bouquets. No gang has so far claimed responsibility. Bukele previously said the Salvadoran military operation in Haiti had the sole purpose of returning the four men alive.

"It's not what we expected on a Saturday night [but] my five-year-old grandson did predict it.

ByJERUSALEM POST STAFFOCTOBER 25, 2026 11:36Over 50,000 people were killed this past summer in Europe due to a brutal heat wave, marking it as the deadliest the continent has ever faced, CNN reported on Friday. The report cited a new analysis published in two peer-reviewed papers in the journal Nature Health that attributed over half of the deaths to climate change driven by fossil fuel pollution. According to the journal, temperatures reached levels 2.9 degrees Celsius above the 1991-2020 average, with some areas seeing periodic temperatures over 12 degrees Celsius above the average. The findings come as world leaders are set to attend annual United Nations climate talks in Turkey, according to CNN, with a UN report earlier last week warning that the planet has missed its chance to limit the effect of global warming to an increase of 1.5 degrees Celsius above pre-industrial levels. The Nature Health report concluded that the 2026 summer season was "likely to have been the most dangerously hot summer that Europe has experienced to date," with southern and western Europe being worst affected.
