A week of fighting has left more than 200 people dead in Israel and the occupied territories, the vast majority of them Palestinians killed by Israeli airstrikes in the Gaza Strip.

Here's how the first eight days of violence unfolded. nyti.ms/3u7sxpD
Day 1: Israeli airstrikes began last Monday after militants in Gaza fired a salvo of rockets toward Jerusalem, where Israeli police had raided the Aqsa Mosque compound. nyti.ms/3u7sxpD Image
Day 2: By last Tuesday night, more than 30 Palestinians had been killed, including 10 children. nyti.ms/3u7sxpD Image

When schools and child care centers shut down last spring, 5.1 million American mothers stopped working for pay. Today, 1.3 million of them are out of work. nytimes.com/interactive/20…
When the pandemic created a child-care crisis, mothers became the default solution. Interviews with 15 women in Los Angeles County revealed what that cost them — a loss of identity apart from one, being a mother. Read their stories here. nyti.ms/3tZw4Gn
Leah Duenas Torres was proud to be the family breadwinner, after growing up in poverty. Then, in the pandemic, she lost her sales job and began spending her days overseeing remote school. nyti.ms/3tZw4Gn Image

It’s Tax Day, the deadline for filing your 2020 taxes. It was pushed back to make it easier for taxpayers to get a handle on their finances, as well as changes that took effect this year with the signing of the American Rescue Plan. nyti.ms/2Qpan4G
The federal government and most U.S. states pushed back the tax filing date to May 17, but others have gone their own way. It’s a good idea to double-check deadlines.

There have been plenty of tax changes since the pandemic. Stimulus payments, retirement withdrawals and unemployment insurance could cut your bill or even generate extra refunds.

New York City's June 22 mayoral primary is quickly approaching. We asked leading Democratic candidates about everything from police reform and climate change to their favorite bagel order and workout routine.

Watch what they had to say. nyti.ms/33RHbq0
The race to become New York City’s next mayor is one of the most consequential political contests in a generation. But voters are still getting to know the candidates.

Here’s an overview of what we learned in our interviews: nyti.ms/3hxVAju
Eric Adams is running as a blue-collar New Yorker who will improve public safety. A former police officer, he is a sharp critic of police brutality, but does not support the “defund the police” movement. nyti.ms/2RgBv6x

A U.S. government program intended to protect wild horses is instead subsidizing their path to destruction. nyti.ms/3wbUIEW Image
The Bureau of Land Management, which cares for the nation’s wild horses, created an Adoption Incentive Program to move a huge surplus of mustangs and burros out of government corrals and into “good homes.”

But that’s not always what happened. nyti.ms/3wbUIEW Image
Records show that instead of going to “good homes,” truckloads of horses were dumped at slaughter auctions as soon as their adopters received federal money. nyti.ms/3wbUIEW Image

With Covid-19 cases decreasing in the U.S., and masks no longer required everywhere, a sense of normalcy is starting to return. The New York Times asked 723 epidemiologists what it will really take for us to get there, and how long. nyti.ms/3bvV9Cp
One key to normalcy is young children getting vaccinated, respondents said. Though kids are less likely to develop severe cases of Covid-19, scientists said their immunity was important because they could be hosts for the virus and a way for it to develop new variants.
Vaccines haven't been approved for children under 12, but 85% of respondents said it would still likely be safe to gather for Fourth of July. A slightly higher share said schools could fully open in the fall, and that families could gather indoors for the winter holidays.
