Israel has abducted 20-year-old Palestinian women's national football team player Rand Halawani, abducted former national teamer Natalie Abu Diyeh, and imposed a travel ban on Musab Abu Salem. This is another facet of the ongoing athleticide, likely emboldened by FIFA's refusal to apply sanctions.

Israeli authorities on Wednesday extended the detention of Palestinian women’s national football team player Rand Halawani until Friday, according to Palestinian officials. The Jerusalem Governorate said Halawani was summoned for questioning Tuesday at the Talpiot police station in West Jerusalem before being detained and brought before a court, which ordered her detention extended. It did not specify the reasons for her summons or arrest. The Palestinian Football Association (PFA) said separately that former women’s national team player Natalie Abu Diya, a student at Birzeit University, was also arrested Tuesday after Israeli forces raided her residence. The PFA said the arrests came amid continued Israeli restrictions on Palestinian athletes, citing the recent travel ban imposed on footballer Musab Abu Salem. Israeli authorities stopped Abu Salem at the Allenby Bridge crossing, questioned him and prevented him from traveling to Italy with the Palestine Stars team, it said.

Name a better engineer than a London beaver. We’ll wait. 🦫 These incredible creatures were reintroduced to the city and have already stepped up to stop flooding at a Tube station and restore local habitats. Nature is healing (and civil engineering).

As floods get worse, Britain tries a new solution: beavers

About 400 years ago, beavers were hunted to extinction across Britain. Now they're being reintroduced as little climate warriors, as communities harness their dam-building skills to mitigate flooding.
