That’s the whole difference.” The Israeli military said that the strike had targeted a Hamas compound and had killed two Hamas officials. But an Israeli official, speaking on condition of anonymity, said that an initial investigation had concluded that the strike, or shrapnel from it, might have unexpectedly ignited a flammable substance at the site. At least 45 people were killed, according to the Gaza Health Ministry, including 23 women, children and older people. The ministry said that 249 people were wounded.

But no country has come close to matching the scale and tenacity of China. In 2022, China accounted for 85 percent of the world’s clean energy manufacturing investment, and the country controls over 80 percent of every step of solar panel manufacturing. China’s unrivaled production of clean energy technology is built on an earlier cultivation of the chemical, steel, battery and electronics industries.

The play dramatizes the story of a Cossack leader, as he tries to root out witches whom local townspeople believe are responsible for a drought. The action takes place against the backdrop of a military threat from czarist Russia. The play’s success underlines a renewed interest in Ukraine’s cultural heritage since Russia’s invasion began, while capturing the fear under which people are living. “Tragedy comes and takes everything from you, your love and your home,” Mykhailo Matiukhin, an actor in the production, said.
