Raging wildfires in California have killed at least five people and displaced tens of thousands more. The fires have burned over 25,000 acres and destroyed at least 1,000 buildings. Efforts to control the fires have been hampered by strong winds and a dwindling water supply. In other news, the body of a hostage taken from Israel in 2023 has been found in an underground tunnel in the Gaza Strip. The hostage's adult son remains in captivity, raising concerns for his life. The discovery comes amid a push for a cease-fire deal and the release of hostages in Gaza.
