U.S. Catholic bishops voted Wednesday to make official a ban on gender-affirming care for transgender patients at Catholic hospitals. The step formalizes a yearslong process for the U.S. church to address transgender health care. From a Baltimore hotel ballroom, the bishops overwhelmingly approved revisions to their ethical and religious directives that guide the nation’s thousands of Catholic health care institutions and providers.

Authorities said there was "no new tip [or] witness" that led to the breakthrough.

Israel's military says troops fired at a vehicle driven by the Palestinian because they believed it posed "an immediate threat".
