For Tarawih Prayers at Al-Aqsa, 50,000 Palestinians Break Through Israeli Barricades

Felixnews.com – Under tight military surveillance, approximately 50,000 Palestinian worshippers crowded the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound in East Jerusalem’s Old City to perform Isha and Tarawih prayers on Sunday evening (February 22, 2026). This momentum marked the solemnity of worship amidst escalating tensions engulfing the occupied territories.

The Jerusalem Provincial Government reported that the flow of worshippers continued despite having to pass through multiple Israeli military checkpoints. Strict identity checks were carried out at every entrance to one of Islam’s holiest sites.

This year’s Ramadan prayers are taking place under a tense atmosphere. Palestinians in the West Bank face not only strict security procedures but also the threat of attacks from settlers and regular raids by Israeli soldiers.

Wafa news agency reported that Israeli authorities have issued an order banning entry to the Al-Aqsa Mosque for more than 300 Jerusalemites during the holy month.

To control the crowds, Israeli forces have increased the presence of military personnel and imposed strict age restrictions on worshippers. Access to Al-Aqsa Mosque is restricted to:

  • Children: Under 12 years old.
  • Men: Over 55 years old.
  • Women: Over 50 years old.

Since the beginning of Ramadan on Wednesday (February 18, 2026), thousands of Palestinians have been seen queuing at various major checkpoints, including Qalandiya and Bethlehem. They have been waiting for hours in the hope of praying at the first direction of Islam’s Qibla.

Despite the restrictions, the enthusiasm of the congregation has not diminished. One of the worshippers who managed to enter expressed his gratitude despite the grueling process.

“The lines were incredibly long, and the identity checks were nerve-wracking. But what can I do? This is a call to pray Tarawih at Al-Aqsa,” said one worshipper who wished to remain anonymous for security reasons.

To date, the situation in the Al-Aqsa Mosque compound is reported to remain under control but highly volatile, with a military presence remaining on standby in every corner of the Old City.

Fact: Viral Epstein Files Reveal Human Meat at McDonald’s

Recently, allegations of cannibalism related to McDonald’s burger products in the “Epstein files” have gone viral. The narrative has been widely discussed on TikTok and X, sparking a viral debate in recent days.

Some social media users claim that court documents contain references suggesting the alleged use of human meat in fast food products. However, to date, there is no verified evidence to support these allegations.

According to various sources, the circulating content primarily cites excerpts from emails purportedly sourced from documents related to the Jeffrey Epstein case. Some posts even attempt to link it to McDonald’s meat supply chain, arguing that the company’s global beef demand does not align with agricultural production figures.

Furthermore, some netizens have dragged the Ronald McDonald House charity into the mix to fuel further suspicion, despite no evidence linking the organization to any criminal activities.

Other viral content uses clips from the animated series The Simpsons as “symbolic clues,” and alludes to an old anecdote about finding a foreign object in a burger.

The Epstein files refer to court filings, deposition transcripts, and other legal documents related to the investigation into Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal conduct. Several document releases in recent years have sparked widespread online analysis, with social media users dissecting specific names and quotes.

However, neither credible media reports nor legal expert studies have found any credible references to cannibalism, human flesh, or any connection to McDonald’s food production.

Legal experts have repeatedly warned that snippets of documents taken out of context have the potential to be misinterpreted. Several document releases have previously sparked viral claims that were later proven false or exaggerated.

McDonald’s itself operates one of the world’s largest food supply chains. The company sources its beef from regulated agricultural suppliers and is subject to strict food safety standards in each country where it operates.

In the UK and the United States, meat production is overseen by government agencies responsible for public health and food regulation. There is no evidence from regulatory authorities, independent audits, or investigative reports that human flesh is used in commercial fast food production.

Food safety experts confirm that large-scale meat processing facilities implement traceability systems to monitor livestock from farm to distribution.

Misinformation researchers note that big names like Epstein’s often amplify the spread of viral narratives. Social media platforms tend to encourage emotionally charged content, especially those related to secretive issues, scandals, or global brands.

Conspiracy theories typically combine fragments of real documents with speculative interpretations, pop culture references, and anecdotal claims. Once widespread, such narratives can persist without relying on verified facts.

The surge in speculation surrounding the Epstein files once again demonstrates how quickly unconfirmed allegations can gain public attention. Authorities and mainstream media continue to remind the public to verify any claims before accepting or sharing them.

Epstein Files Reveal Covid-19 Was Designed by Bill Gates Since 2017

In recent weeks, narratives claiming that the Covid-19 pandemic had been planned since 2017 have resurfaced on social media.

A number of posts on Facebook and Instagram accuse Bill Gates and the late Jeffrey Epstein of having devised a pandemic scenario long before the SARS-CoV-2 virus was detected in Wuhan in late 2019.

This narrative gained further traction after the United States Department of Justice (DOJ) released millions of pages of investigative documents known as the Epstein Files in late 2025.

The allegations are based on a document titled EFTA02657725.pdf, which contains correspondence related to a pandemic simulation based on a virus variant.

Some parties have concluded that the existence of this document is proof that Covid-19 is not a natural event, but rather the result of planning. However, is this really the case? Here are the facts.

What is the Epstein Files?

The Epstein Files are a collection of official documents resulting from an investigation by United States law enforcement agencies, including the Department of Justice and the FBI, into Jeffrey Epstein’s criminal activities.

Epstein was a billionaire convicted of child sex crimes and human trafficking. He died in a New York prison on August 10, 2019.

On December 19, 2025, US authorities released more than 3.5 million pages of documents to the public. The archives include Epstein’s flight logs, phone books and contact lists, digital forensic evidence in the form of photos and videos, FBI investigative notes, and jury and trial transcripts.

Several world figures are listed in the files, including Donald Trump, Prince Andrew, Bill Gates, Hillary Clinton, and Elon Musk.

However, the appearance of a name in investigative documents does not automatically prove involvement in Epstein’s crimes or in the planning of the pandemic.

2017 “Strain Pandemic Simulation” Email Documents

On the official DOJ website, there are two documents related to the pandemic simulation, EFTA02381427 and EFTA02657725. Both contain correspondence titled “bgc3 Deliverables and Scope” dated March 3, 2017, involving Bill Gates, Larry Cohen, and Jeffrey Epstein.

The documents originate from BGC3, now known as Gates Ventures, a think tank owned by Bill Gates focused on global health, technology, and development.

The emails contain five proposed work points in the fields of health and neurotechnology. The fifth point mentions technical recommendations regarding a strain pandemic simulation based on a virus variant. The emails were then forwarded to Epstein, who responded curtly with an “okay.”

However, the correspondence contains no evidence that the simulation was related to SARS-CoV-2, let alone a plan to create an outbreak.

In an interview with 9News Australia on Wednesday (February 4, 2026), Bill Gates expressed regret over his relationship with Epstein and called the circulating narrative a fabrication. He emphasized that pandemic simulations are a common scientific practice, not evidence of a conspiracy.

DOJ Document Clarification January 2026

The subsequent release of millions of pages of Epstein documents on January 30, 2026, did include various emails, internal notes, and drafts of Epstein’s writings.

However, investigations by several international media outlets found no evidence of a pandemic plan, virus simulation, or global health scheme involving Epstein and Gates in the context of COVID-19 planning.

Some documents mentioning Gates turned out to be drafts of Epstein’s personal emails that were never sent and contained unsubstantiated allegations, as confirmed by numerous independent reports.

Pandemic Simulations Become Standard Practice in Global Health

In epidemiology, pandemic simulations are a crucial tool for testing the preparedness of health systems for potential outbreaks. Simulations are conducted using computer models to predict the spread of viruses, cross-agency scenario exercises, and to evaluate the response capacity of hospitals and medical personnel.

Several pandemic simulations conducted before Covid-19 include:

Event 201 (2019)

A global pandemic simulation exercise organized by the Johns Hopkins Center for Health Security, the World Economic Forum, and the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation. The goal was to test global coordination in the face of a major outbreak.

Exercise Cygnus (2016) – England

A national simulation in London involving approximately 950 personnel from across ministries tested the response to the influenza threat.

H7N9 Simulation in Indonesia (2017)

Conducted in South Tangerang even though the H7N9 virus had not been detected in humans or birds in Indonesia at that time. This indicates that the simulation was conducted as a precautionary measure, not as a response to a real outbreak.

In addition to field simulations, scientists also used mathematical modeling that took into account population size, transmission rates, hospital capacity, and the availability of medical personnel. All of this is standard procedure in global health risk management.

The Origins of Covid-19 Based on Scientific Research

Several scientific studies have concluded that Covid-19 was not man-made. In February 2020, the journal Nature reported that the first case of Covid-19 emerged in Wuhan on December 26, 2019.

A study titled “A pneumonia outbreak associated with a new coronavirus of probable bat origin” found the virus to have high genetic similarity to bat coronaviruses and SARS-CoV.

Another study titled “The proximal origin of SARS-CoV-2” concluded that SARS-CoV-2 is the seventh coronavirus to infect humans and likely emerged naturally.

Initially, there was debate regarding the scenario of virus transmission from a laboratory and human contact with a zoonotic disease. However, an article titled “The origins of the COVID-19 pandemic: A brief overview” asserts that it is confident that the coronavirus was initially transmitted to humans by animals and not through a laboratory leak.

History shows that health preparedness is crucial in determining the impact of a pandemic. Smallpox was successfully eradicated in 1977 thanks to global vaccination. The Spanish Flu (1918–1920) infected approximately one-third of the world’s population and killed tens to hundreds of millions of people due to the medical limitations of the time.

This fact underscores the importance of pandemic simulations and virology research. The goal is not to create an outbreak, but rather to minimize the impact when one actually occurs.

Epstein Files Claims and COVID-19 Planning Are Baseless

Based on fact-checking and review of official documents, claims that the COVID-19 pandemic was planned as early as 2017 through a strain of pandemic simulation in emails between Bill Gates and Jeffrey Epstein have no scientific or legal basis.

Pandemic simulations are standard practice in global health. There are no documents in the Epstein Files that prove Covid-19 was the result of human planning or engineering.

 

Zayn Malik Mentioned in Epstein Files

Zayn Malik has returned to the public spotlight after his name was mentioned in the documents known as the Epstein Files.

This mention has reignited discussion about his open support for Palestine, both during his time with One Direction and after his solo career.

A former member of the popular boy group One Direction, Zayn is widely known for his melodious voice. His global popularity has earned him a large fan base who follow his activities, from social media to his musical career.

Zayn Malik openly expressed his support for the Palestinian people through his Twitter account (before it changed to X).

In one of his posts, he stated his stand with the Palestinian people and called for an end to violence and the protection of human rights, including the right to life and safety of families affected by the conflict.

He also urged his followers to go beyond being silent bystanders to witness the suffering of children and civilians in the conflict. The post was published on May 14, 2021.

Previously, in 2014, Zayn Malik also posted a short tweet with the hashtag #FreePalestine on his Twitter account. Within minutes of its publication, the post was flooded with responses, both positive and negative.

At the time, Zayn was still part of One Direction, a global boy group with millions of fans in various countries, including Israel. The post sparked outrage among some Israeli fans.

Some stated that One Direction risked losing fans in the country, even suggesting potential wider repercussions for the group.

The situation became even more serious when Zayn Malik received death threats, both online and while performing with One Direction on stage.

How Did Zayn Malik’s Name Appear in the Epstein Files?

Several international media reports indicate that Zayn Malik’s name appeared in a 2014 email sent by a third party to Jeffrey Epstein. The email contained a list of public figures deemed to be anti-Israel or anti-Israel.

Zayn Malik’s name is not alone. Several other public figures, such as Emma Watson and Stevie Wonder, are also mentioned on the list. They include figures who have criticized Israeli actions or expressed support for Palestine.

It should be noted that the list is not a list of criminal suspects. It is a collection of political opinions categorized by the email sender. The background to Zayn Malik’s inclusion is said to be related to the posting of the hashtag #FreePalestine in 2014, which drew various reactions.

In a draft sent by the Jewish News Syndicate (JNS), an email to Epstein was mentioned containing a draft article or list of public figures deemed anti-Israel or not pro-Israel.

In the draft, which was later published, JNS News highlighted Zayn Malik’s open posting of the hashtag #FreePalestine on Twitter (now X) at the height of the Israel-Gaza conflict in 2014.

As of February 2026, there has been no public statement or official response from Zayn Malik regarding his inclusion in the Epstein Files draft. No clarification has been provided through social media, management statements, or interviews.

This issue has once again sparked widespread discussion on social media, especially considering Zayn Malik’s history of support for Palestine, which he has publicly expressed for years.

Prince Andrew has been released from prison in connection with his involvement with Jeffrey Epstein

Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor, also known as Prince Andrew, has finally been released from prison.

However, he remains under investigation after being arrested on suspicion of misconduct in public office on Thursday (February 20, 2026) local time.

King Charles III expressed his “deep concern” over the case and emphasized that “the law must take its course.” Andrew, who served as Britain’s trade envoy for a decade, became the first senior member of the British royal family to be arrested in nearly 400 years.

Previously, police said they were reviewing allegations that Andrew shared sensitive information with convicted sex offender Jeffrey Epstein while serving as a trade envoy.

The former prince denied all allegations against him and insisted he never witnessed or suspected the behavior alleged by the late Epstein.

He has not yet made a public statement regarding the latest allegations of misconduct in public office.

Yesterday, several police cars and officers were seen visiting his residence in the Sandringham Estate, Norfolk, as reported by Newsweek. Authorities arrived at around 08.00 local time on Thursday (19/2/2026), coinciding with his 66th birthday.

Chronology of Andrew and Epstein’s Relationship

2001
Virginia Giuffre, then Virginia Roberts, accused Andrew of sexually abusing her in 2001 when she was 17. She claimed she was a victim of sex trafficking by Epstein and felt threatened if she refused his demands. Giuffre died in April 2025, according to her family.

2010
Andrew was photographed walking with Epstein in Central Park, New York, after Epstein was released from prison after serving a sentence for soliciting prostitution from a minor.

2015
Giuffre reported her allegations to London’s Metropolitan Police in 2015. However, an investigation concluded that, based on interviews with Giuffre and other victims, there were no criminal allegations against the British citizen in the case.

2019
Andrew was interviewed on the BBC’s Newsnight program about his relationship with Epstein. The interview drew widespread criticism and prompted him to step back from official royal duties.

2022
Andrew settled Giuffre’s civil lawsuit in New York for an undisclosed amount, while continuing to deny the allegations.

2025
After documents in the Epstein dossier showed Andrew maintained a relationship with Epstein longer than he had admitted, he was stripped of his royal titles and honors. It was also announced that he would leave Royal Lodge in Windsor and move to the monarch’s private property in Norfolk.

11 Countries That Will Start Ramadan on February 19, 2026

The determination of the start of Ramadan 2026 is a matter of concern for Muslims around the world as the holy month of 1447 Hijriah approaches. This momentum is eagerly awaited because it marks the beginning of the obligatory month-long fast.

Several countries have officially designated Thursday (February 19, 2026) as the first day of fasting after observing the crescent moon or based on astronomical calculations.

However, as in previous years, some countries began Ramadan on different dates due to differences in determination methods and criteria.

The following is a list of countries that have set the 1st of Ramadan 1447 AH on Thursday (February 19, 2026), including an explanation of the sighting and hisab methods used.

The determination of the start of Ramadan often varies across the world. These differences are generally influenced by:

  • The sighting method (direct observation of the crescent moon).
  • The hisab method (astronomical calculations).
  • Criteria for crescent moon visibility in each country.
  • Geographical factors and weather conditions.
  • Standard altitude and elongation of the moon at sunset.

Therefore, variations in the start date of fasting are normal in the Hijri calendar and have been occurring for years.

List of Countries Officially Starting Ramadan on February 19, 2026

Several countries confirmed that 1 Ramadan 1447 AH falls on Thursday (February 19, 2026). The announcements were made after religious authorities declared the crescent moon sighting or based on official astronomical calculations that met their respective national criteria. The following is the complete list:

1. Oman

Oman declared Thursday (February 19, 2026) as the first day of fasting. Local authorities stated that the crescent moon sighting results met the applicable criteria.

Although in previous years Oman has sometimes differed from neighboring countries, in Ramadan 2026 the determination was made simultaneously with several countries in the region.

2. Egypt

Egypt, through Dar al-Ifta, announced the start of Ramadan on Thursday (February 19, 2026). The announcement was made after official sightings at several observation locations.

In addition to direct observation, this institution also considered astronomical data to ensure the accuracy of its decision. The results were broadcast nationally through official media.

3. Jordan

Jordan declared 1 Ramadan 1447 AH on Thursday (February 19, 2026) after the Ministry of Religious Affairs confirmed the sighting of the crescent moon. Monitoring teams were deployed in various regions to ensure the reports received were accurate and accountable according to Sharia law.

4. Indonesia

Indonesia declared 1 Ramadan 1447 AH on Thursday (February 19, 2026) through an isbat (confirmation) meeting held by the government, along with representatives of Islamic organizations and astronomy experts.

The method used was a combination of hisab (calculation) and rukyat (seeking the crescent moon) at various crescent observation points throughout Indonesia. After the reports were verified and deemed to meet the criteria, the government officially announced the start of fasting.

5. Singapore

Singapore, through the Islamic Religious Council of Singapore (MUIS), declared Ramadan 1447 AH to fall on Thursday (February 19, 2026). The religious authority used an astronomical calculation approach, taking into account regional crescent visibility criteria, and then officially announced the results to the local Muslim community.

6. Malaysia

Malaysia also declared Ramadan on Thursday (February 19, 2026). The announcement was made after the crescent moon sighting process was carried out at several strategic locations. This decision became a national guideline and was followed simultaneously throughout Malaysia.

7. Australia

Australia declared Thursday (February 19, 2026) as the start of Ramadan based on an announcement by the Fatwa Council and local Islamic organizations. Given its location in the southern hemisphere, the decision was made based on astronomical calculations and confirmation of the visibility of the crescent moon relevant to the region.

8. France

France, through its local Muslim Religious Council, announced that Ramadan 1447 AH would begin on Thursday (February 19, 2026). The determination took into account astronomical calculations and coordination with religious authorities at the European level.

9. Turkey

Turkey declared 1 Ramadan 1447 AH on Thursday (February 19, 2026) based on the official Hijri calendar published by the national religious authority. Turkey is known for systematically using astronomical calculations to determine the start of the Hijri months, including Ramadan.

10. Japan

Japan also began Ramadan on Thursday (February 19, 2026). The Muslim community in Japan followed the announcements of local Islamic organizations, which referred to global observations and calculations. Although the Muslim population is relatively small, coordination of the determinations was still carried out in a structured manner.

11. Brunei Darussalam

Brunei Darussalam officially declared 1 Ramadan 1447 AH to fall on Thursday (February 19, 2026). The announcement was made by the kingdom’s religious authorities after the rukyatul hilal (seeing the crescent moon) process was completed. As an Islamic monarchy, the decision applies nationwide.

Although many countries declared Ramadan 2026 on Thursday (February 19, 2026), not all countries began fasting on the same day.

Some countries announced the start of Ramadan on different dates, depending on local rukyat results, crescent moon visibility criteria, the moon’s position at sunset, minimum lunar altitude and elongation standards, and weather conditions during the observation.

Countries with stricter visibility criteria or less favorable sky conditions may declare the start of Ramadan a day later. This discrepancy is a common phenomenon in the global Hijri calendar system.

Methods for Determining the Start of Ramadan 2026

To understand the similarities in the determination of Thursday (February 19, 2026) across many countries, here are two main methods used:

1. Rukyat (crescent sighting)

This method involves directly observing the first crescent moon after sunset on the 29th of Sha’ban. If the crescent moon is sighted and its sighting is accepted, the following day is designated as the first day of Ramadan.

2. Hisab (astronomical calculations)

This method uses mathematical calculations and astronomical data to determine the moon’s position. Some countries combine hisab and rukyat to increase accuracy and legal certainty.

In 2026, astronomical parameters in several regions indicated that the crescent moon could potentially be sighted the night before Thursday (February 19, 2026), leading many countries to designate that date as the start of Ramadan.

The determination of Ramadan 2026 on Thursday (February 19, 2026) in several countries reflects the results of crescent moon sightings and the alignment of astronomical parameters, which indicate the arrival of Ramadan 1, 1447 Hijri.

Despite differences in some regions, the most important thing for Muslims is to prepare themselves spiritually and physically to fast during Ramadan 2026 with sincerity.

Zuckerberg Faces First Trial in Instagram Addiction Case

Meta CEO Mark Zuckerberg has just made his first jury appearance in a landmark case. In a Los Angeles courtroom on Wednesday (February 18, 2026) local time, Zuckerberg engaged in a heated exchange with a plaintiff’s attorney regarding allegations that his platform, Instagram, was intentionally designed to addict and mentally damage child users.

The case stems from a lawsuit filed by a 20-year-old woman (identified as KGM) who claims that early social media use led to a severe addiction. She alleges that the platform’s algorithms exacerbated her depression and fueled suicidal thoughts.

“This trial is in the global spotlight because the outcome will set the tone for thousands of similar lawsuits currently facing tech giants,” the AP reported on Thursday (February 19, 2026).

During the question-and-answer session, plaintiff’s attorney, Mark Lanier, asked pointed questions about Instagram’s addictive nature. However, Zuckerberg appeared very cautious in his answers. He declined to provide a direct answer and expressed his disagreement that the term “addiction” could be applied to Meta’s products, despite internal company discussions about the app’s usage duration.

Zuckerberg was also questioned about the company’s ambition to profit from vulnerable users. In response, Zuckerberg insisted that a reasonable company should help its users. The debate became heated when Lanier asked about Zuckerberg’s financial commitment to victims of the negative impacts of social media, a question the CEO immediately denied, considering it a provocative question.

Another interesting aspect of the trial was the discussion of Zuckerberg’s personality, which is often labeled “robotic” by the public. Attorneys revealed internal documents suggesting Zuckerberg should appear more authentic, direct, and human in his communications. Zuckerberg defended himself by claiming the advice was simply feedback, even joking that he was known for his poor public speaking skills.

Meta, through its attorney, Paul Schmidt, argued that the plaintiff’s mental health issues were not caused by Instagram. They cited medical records that indicated internal problems within the plaintiff’s family life. Meta argued that their platform is often used as an escape or coping mechanism for people experiencing hardship.

Zuckerberg remained defensive regarding his age verification policy. He emphasized that the company’s rules are clear in prohibiting users under 13, even though many children actually fake their ages. He believes the challenge of detecting user deception is a technical problem they are constantly trying to solve, not a deliberate attempt to increase user numbers.

This trial marked the first time Zuckerberg stood before a jury to answer directly for the impact of his platform. In the audience were also parents who had lost their children in tragedies believed to have been triggered by social media. The outcome of this “bellwether trial” will significantly determine the future of social media regulation and the moral responsibility of global technology companies towards young people.

6 Mysterious Names in the Epstein Files Finally Revealed

The names of six men previously blacked out in Jeffrey Epstein’s files have finally been publicly revealed in a United States Congressional forum.

This revelation has reignited debate over the reasons for the redactions of government documents and the extent to which Epstein’s social network involved influential figures.

This revelation not only extends a long-standing controversy but also opens a new chapter in the public’s efforts to understand the full contents of the documents, which have been heavily redacted.

The Epstein case has long been a global issue. Following his death in 2019, various investigative documents were released to the public, but many sections were redacted or blacked out. Now, deliberations in the US Congress are highlighting the names of six men previously blacked out in the documents.

This revelation began when several members of Congress deemed that some of the redactions in the Epstein Files no longer had a strong legal basis to uphold. In a formal forum, several legislators directly named the names previously blacked out in the files.

This push for transparency also relates to legislative efforts demanding greater transparency into the Epstein investigative archives. Although the government has released millions of pages of documents, significant portions remain blacked out, including the identities of several influential individuals.

The debate in Congress is not only about who is named in the documents, but also about the principle of public disclosure and the public’s right to know the extent of Epstein’s network.

List of Men Redacted in the Epstein Files

A major focus of public debate is the identification of six individuals who were previously redacted without justification for their release.

The six names were officially named in Congress, taking advantage of legislative immunity, which allows lawmakers to release information without risk of prosecution. The following six names were previously redacted in the documents:

1. Leslie “Les” Wexner

An American billionaire known as the founder and former chairman of major retail companies such as Victoria’s Secret and L Brands.

The documents indicate that the FBI once considered him a co-conspirator, a term signifying close ties to Epstein’s network even without formal charges.

2. Sultan Ahmed bin Sulayem

A wealthy businessman from the United Arab Emirates and CEO of a major logistics company. Records show troubling email exchanges with Epstein, but no explicit legal charges have been filed against him to date.

3. Salvatore Nuara

His name appears in the files, but public information regarding his background or role is very limited. His appearance in the documents has drawn scrutiny from legislators.

4. Zurab Mikeladze

Like Nuara, Mikeladze is listed in the contacts or communications catalog in the files. However, his profile details have not been widely disclosed.

5. Leonic Leonov

One of six names previously redacted. To date, there has been little official information regarding his involvement in the released evidence.

6. Nicola Caputo

Another individual whose name appears in the documents without prior exposure. The context or details of their involvement remain largely unknown.

It is important to emphasize that the appearance of a name in the documents does not automatically imply criminal charges. However, the fact that their identities were concealed has become the basis for political and public debate.

Meanwhile, in the UK, several politicians are facing public pressure and calls to resign due to the administrative and personal connections revealed in the files. These developments have reignited debate about the accountability of public officials and the limits of privacy in cases involving the global elite.

Overall, the leaked documents confirm that the Epstein Files is more than just a list of names, but rather an issue that touches on the integrity of state institutions and public trust.

9 Dead in Mass Shooting at Tumbler Ridge High School

Western Canada is in mourning after a brutal shooting incident rocked British Columbia on Wednesday (February 11, 2026). A series of attacks at a high school and a residence have claimed the lives of nine people and left at least 25 others injured.

The primary focus of the attacks occurred at Tumbler Ridge Secondary School, located north of Vancouver. At this location, security officers found six victims inside the school building. A tense atmosphere enveloped the evacuation after an additional victim was pronounced dead en route to the hospital.

The incident did not stop at the school. Not far from the first location, police found two more bodies inside a residence.

At this time, authorities believe the two shootings are connected, although further investigation is ongoing to determine the motive.

The main suspect in the attacks reportedly died at the scene. His body was found inside the school building with wounds believed to be self-inflicted. Amateur video footage captured the emotional moment as students were evacuated from the building under heavy police guard.

Regarding the perpetrator’s identity, authorities claimed to have complete details but have not yet released his name or gender to the public. However, a shelter-in-place alert distributed to residents at the time of the incident described the suspect as “a woman wearing a dress with brown hair.”

The students’ bravery amidst the death threat was highlighted in this tragedy. One Tumbler Ridge Secondary School student recounted to the CBC what happened inside the classroom when the shooting occurred. He and his classmates reacted quickly by moving heavy desks to barricade the classroom door to prevent the perpetrator from entering.

A strong response came from high levels of the Canadian government. Prime Minister Mark Carney stated that he was “devastated” and deeply affected by this tragedy. Meanwhile, British Columbia Premier David Eby expressed his appreciation for the swift response of police officers, who he believes prevented far more casualties.

“The swift response of officers on the ground ensured that this tragedy did not escalate into something far worse than what we are witnessing now,” he said.

The Tumbler Ridge area remains under tight security. A federal investigative team has been deployed to scour the entire area to gather additional evidence and provide psychological support to survivors and the families of the victims.

Epstein Scandal: British Royal Family Affirms Concern for Victims

Prince William and Princess Catherine expressed their concern for the victims of sex offender Jeffrey Epstein, whose recent revelations have gone viral.

The AP reported on Monday (February 9, 2026) that this statement is the latest move by the British monarchy to further distance itself from King Charles III’s brother, Prince Andrew, whose name was included in the Jeffrey Epstein documents released in early February 2026 by the United States Department of Justice.

The British royal family expressed shock at the contents of the more than 3 million pages of documents disclosed by US authorities.

“Prince William and Princess Catherine are deeply concerned by the ongoing revelations. Their thoughts remain with the victims,” ​​the palace statement read.

The statement was released ahead of William’s three-day visit to Saudi Arabia, which began Monday (February 9, 2026), as part of the monarchy’s response to the worsening crisis surrounding Andrew.

Andrew was stripped of his princely title by the British monarchy in October 2025, following revelations of his association with Epstein. Today, the 65-year-old brother of King Charles III is known as Andrew Mountbatten-Windsor.

Regarding his involvement with Epstein, Andrew has repeatedly denied any wrongdoing related to his relationship with the American financier.
