Smoke Engulfs Wasatch Front, Air Quality Declines to Unhealthy Levels

Smoke has filled Utah's Wasatch Front, obscuring the mountains and lowering air quality to "moderate" levels, with Salt Lake City ranking among the most polluted cities worldwide. The smoke, driven by strong southwesterly winds, is primarily coming from wildfires in southern California, including the San Bernardino Line Fire and the Bridge Fire, as well as local fires in Utah. Chief Meteorologist Alana Brophy predicts the smoke will linger through Thursday but may begin to clear by Friday, though new winds could bring more smoke from the Pacific Northwest.

The crackdown, framed as part of Israelā€™s broader security measures, has been criticized for disproportionate use of force and arbitrary arrests of teenagers. Families like the Hamadnehs in Jenin mourn their children, who were caught in the conflict, while concerns grow that such violence will drive more young Palestinians into militancy. The Israeli military defends its actions, claiming that militants often hide among civilians.
