According to the joint statement, the IDF will take five specific actions: demolishing Palestinian homes accused of "attacking" during clashes near the village of Tell on the morning of the 24th; launching strong military operations in relevant Palestinian villages, including confiscating weapons and revoking work permits for local residents; further increasing troop deployments throughout the West Bank; implementing separate traffic rules for Israeli and Palestinian vehicles and establishing additional military checkpoints on relevant roads; accelerating the "legalization" of so-called "outpost farms" established by Israeli Jewish settlers in the West Bank, and approving the establishment of new "outpost farms."Oil prices continued to fall, with WTI crude oil dropping below $90 per barrel.

Amazon.com Inc. said on Tuesday that it has reached an agreement with certain lenders for an unsecured $8 billion loan.


The loan will mature in 364 days with a 364-day extension option, and the funds will be used for general company purposes.


Amazon (NASDAQ:AMZN) has leveraged multiple funding sources to support capital expenditures, debt repayments, acquisitions, and operating cash needs during the past several months, according to a company spokeswoman who spoke with Reuters.


The online store has braced for a probable halt in growth as rising inflation pushes businesses and consumers to curtail spending. Combined with a strong dollar, this caused Amazon's share price to decline by almost 50 percent in 2022.


It also mentioned workforce reductions for the start of 2023, although the number was not specified. A source told Reuters in November that the company planned to remove around 10,000 workers.


At the end of the third quarter, which ended on September 30th, Amazon had approximately $35 billion in cash and cash equivalents and over $59 billion in long-term debt.


Toronto Dominion was the administrative agent for the credit transaction between DBS Bank and Mizuho Bank, according to Amazon.
