Comprehensive coverage of the day's news with a focus on war and peace; social, environmental and economic justice. A 17-year-old opened fire at a small-town Iowa high school on the first day of school after the winter break, killing a sixth-grader and wounding five others. Palestinian hospital officials say an Israeli strike hit a home in an area of southern Gaza that the military had declared a safe zone, killing at least 12 people, almost all children.
