Father drowns while trying to save his two children
Ammon News - A father who was spending Father's Day with his two daughters in Florida, died after trying to save them from drowning, authorities said.
On Sunday, June 15, Fort Lauderdale Fire Rescue received 911 calls around 7:20 p.m. local time reporting that there was a drowning at a Fort Lauderdale beach.
Although the ocean rescue team went off duty at 7 p.m., officials rushed to the scene once they were aware of the situation.
Antwon Wilson, 33, "went into the water after two of his children appeared to be in distress," a Fort Lauderdale police spokeswoman tells PEOPLE.
His daughter was "struggling in the water," the spokeswoman says.
Another man, Eslam Saad, also went into the ocean to help the children but became "overwhelmed" and was pulled underwater before he was able to self-rescue, CBS News Miami reports.

Seven killed, including children, in Israeli airstrikes on Gaza
Ammon News - At least seven Palestinians were killed and several others injured early Sunday in a series of Israeli airstrikes targeting Gaza City and Khan Younis in the southern Gaza Strip. According to local medical sources, five people — including two women and a child — were killed when Israeli warplanes struck a tent sheltering displaced families in the Al-Mawasi area west of Khan Younis. Several others sustained injuries in the same attack. In a separate airstrike, two children were killed and more civilians were wounded when Israeli forces targeted the home of the Azzam family near the Daloul petrol station in the Al-Zaytoun neighborhood of Gaza City. Meanwhile, Israeli forces continued to demolish residential buildings in central Khan Younis. Heavy artillery shelling was also reported in the Al-Mawasi area of Rafah, compounding the already dire humanitarian situation in southern Gaza. The ongoing Israeli aggression on Gaza since October 2023 has so far resulted in at least 56,412 documented Palestinian fatalities, with over 133,054 others injured. Thousands of victims are feared trapped under rubble, inaccessible to emergency and civil defense teams due to Israeli attacks.

Home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt was ransacked by burglars
Ammon News - Police are investigating a break-in at a home reportedly owned by Brad Pitt, who has been on a globe-spanning promo tour for his new movie, 'F1.' The Los Angeles Police Department confirmed they responded to a break-in Wednesday night at a house on the 2300 block of North Edgemont Street in the Los Feliz neighborhood of Los Angeles. Three suspects broke into the residence through the front window, ransacked the home and fled with miscellaneous property, said Officer Drake Madison. Madison said he could not identify who owned or lived in the home, and no information is currently available on what was stolen. Pitt reportedly bought the home for $5.5 million in April 2023, according to Traded, a commercial real estate website. A Pitt representative declined comment.
