The UN says it recorded more than 260 Israeli settler attacks in October that resulted in casualties, property damage or both.

That's an average of eight attacks per day, injuring at least 140 Palestinians and vandalizing some 4,200 trees.

Since the Hamas attacks of October 7, 2023, more than 1,000 Palestinians have been killed in the occupied West Bank, according to the U.N., and more than 9,000 have been detained, according to Palestinian officials.

In the week ending November 3, six Palestinians were killed there, according to the U.N., five including two children by the Israeli military and one by a settler.

The Israeli prime minister's office says forensic tests show the latest body returned to Israel is that of a retired Israeli military officer.

An Israeli hostage forum says Lior Rudeyev was a 61-year-old volunteer ambulance driver who was killed on October 7, 2023, after a fierce battle with Hamas-led militants at the gates of the kibbutz where he lived in southern Israel.

In exchange, the Gaza Health Ministry says it's received the bodies of 15 Palestinians held by Israel, but their names are not yet known.

The ministry says only about a third of the total number of Palestinian bodies returned under this ceasefire have been identified, amid a shortage of DNA tests in Gaza.

In her posthumous memoir, Giuffre writes that she feared she might die a sex slave to Epstein and Prince Andrew, who is King Charles's younger brother.

She says she had sex with Andrew at least three times when she was 17.

Andrew denies even knowing her, but paid her a $16 million settlement.

And public anger has swirled over this.

The Times of London says he's still living in a 30-room royal lodge, rent-free at taxpayers' expense.

And even though Andrew has stepped back from royal duties and has given up his Duke of York title, he remains a prince.

And some lawmakers are preparing a parliamentary motion to formally strip him of all of his titles.

The Epstein scandal prompted Prince Andrew to step down from royal duties more than five years ago.
