Report: Gaza is preparing to inflate incendiary balloons
The "nocturnal confusion" units are preparing to continue operations in the coming days on the Gaza border, the Palestinian news agency "Spa" reported today (Saturday) according to a source who blamed the escalation of activity on "continuing to force the siege on the Gaza Strip."
The Palestinian newspaper Al-Ayyam reported that terrorist organizations in Gaza will begin a new phase this week in inflating incendiary balloons, following the last two weeks in which the "nocturnal confusion" activities have resumed.
It was also reported that Hamas had informed Egypt that the riots would continue until the economic situation in the Gaza Strip improved.

Facebook marked black men as monkeys - and apologized
Facebook apologized on Friday after surfers who watched the video, in which black men were photographed, received a message from the facial recognition software developed by the company: "Do you want to see more videos about monkeys?".
The embarrassing bug was discovered by U.S. human rights organizations, who pointed out accuracy issues in the software recommendations. In response, Facebook shut down its themed recommendations software for videos, announcing that it was a "manifestly unacceptable mistake" and that it would investigate the cause to prevent such effects.

Netherlands: Trigon female gives birth without contact with male
At the Dolphinarium in Herderwick, the Netherlands, they rubbed their eyes in astonishment: a female sturgeon spawned a offspring after not staying with a male for seven years.
According to the director of the Dolphinarium, this is probably a rare case of parthenogenesis: "This is a survival strategy in which females give birth without fertilization by a male, and it is also possible that the female carried the sperm of her last encounter with a male about seven years ago."
