This news article covers two separate but impactful events: severe weather in Texas causing damage and power outages, and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's prostate surgery amidst ongoing crises.
Severe thunderstorms caused a traffic standstill on Gulf Freeway near Hughes Road in Houston, with drivers seeking shelter from the storm under an underpass. A roof of a home in the Windward community in North Katy was torn off by an apparent tornado that also flipped over vehicles on December 28, 2024.
Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is having his prostate removed on Sunday, his office said, a procedure that comes as he manages multiple crises at once, including the ongoing war in Gaza and his own health, whose physical fitness are under deep scrutiny both at home and abroad because of their advanced age and the effect that could have on their leadership. Netanyahu, who has had a string of health issues in recent years, has gone to great lengths to bolster a public image of himself as a fully healthy, energetic leader. During his trial this month he boasted about working 18-hour days, even if those long hours are accompanied by a cigar. But as Israel's longest-serving leader, such a grueling workload over a total of 17 years in power could also take a toll on his well-being
