Arkansas Man Arrested in 1980 Cold Case Murder of Kent Woman

After nearly 44 years, Kenneth Duane Kundert, 65, has been arrested in Arkansas and charged with the 1980 rape and murder of Dorothy "Dottie" Silzel in Kent, Washington. Silzel’s case, which had gone cold for decades, was revived through the persistent efforts of Detective Tim Ford and advancements in DNA technology. Kundert was identified as the suspect after investigators matched his DNA from a discarded cigarette to evidence found at the crime scene. His arraignment is set for August 29.

Israeli Military Raids in Jenin and Tulkarm Leave 10 Palestinians Dead

Israeli forces conducted a major military operation in the West Bank on Wednesday, targeting the cities of Jenin and Tulkarm, and resulting in the deaths of at least 10 Palestinians. The operation, one of the largest in recent months, comes amidst ongoing conflict with Hamas in Gaza and rising tensions with Hezbollah in Lebanon. The raid, which included drone strikes and ground assaults, targeted areas with high militant activity. The violence in the West Bank has escalated significantly since the Israel-Hamas war began nearly 11 months ago, leading to hundreds of deaths on both sides.
