Hamas terrorists indiscriminately gunned down civilians and took control of a police station in a small Israeli city in Saturday’s surprise offensive.
Sderot, home to 30,000 people, was one of the first settlements to come under attack by the Hamas gunman, who moved through the city shortly after dawn.
Harrowing footage of the assault captured by survivors has since emerged, showing how the heavily armed assailants rode into the city on the back of pick-up trucks, killing dozens of civilians
Motorists will stop buying new petrol and diesel cars years before the 2030 ban is introduced by the Government, a green lobby group claims.
Think tank New AutoMotive forecasts that drivers will stop buying combustion engine vehicles in 2028/29, one to two years earlier than the ban is due to come into force.
This is based on its own calculations following analysis of vehicle registration data.
However, some industry insiders say sales figures are currently being skewed by large fleet
Motorists could be hit with “barmy” new car tax measures to fill a “huge hole” in finances when more road users switch to electric cars.
Petrol and diesel drivers currently pay fuel duty charges when topping up at fuel stations.
However, there are no such tax charges on electricity meaning the Treasury will face a major crisis when more people switch to EVs.
This is likely to become an issue at the end of the decade when the Government bans
Drivers could have their cars stolen by remote-controlled robots for failing to follow driving laws.
Social media videos have filmed robots snatching vehicles that have been parked illegally or had no valid ticket.
The machines have been deployed in the UK as part of a new trial to clamp down on motorists breaking the law.
The robot, simply named Eastract, is owned by towing firm Recovery North West (RNW).

Car insurance experts have issued a key warning to motorists this August with holidaymakers reporting an increase in accidents.
New data from Admiral Car Insurance shows the number of crashes while driving in Europe rose by 57 percent last year.
The insurer reports that appeals have been highest in August every year for the past half a decade meaning this summer could be a hotspot for collisions.
The new report shows that insurance claims were up 192 percent in August
Motorists are “unaware” of a key driving law which could see drivers slapped with fines and penalty points this summer.
New research from webuyanycar shows that 18 percent of road users are unaware they could be penalised for driving with a pet on their lap.
The rule could be a major blow to holidaymakers hoping to travel with their cats and dogs this August.
Instead, vehicle owners must make sure animals are properly secured before setting off or run the
Drivers could be hit with a £100 fine and three penalty points by following a commonly used roundabout trick.
Motorists could be caught out by queue “slingshotting” in a bid to jump past heavy traffic.
Instead of sitting idle, some drivers decide to pull into the right-hand lane and go around the roundabout before pulling off at their junction.
The concept can save time and reduces the amount of congestion lining up on busy roads.
However, Select Car Leasing have
Motorists could be hit with over a £1,000 fine for breaking a little-known European driving rule.
Road users could be slapped with a penalty for using a satellite navigation system in France due to strict regulations.
French laws ban motorists from using devices which can detect speed cameras dotted on roads.
This covers GPS systems which show fixed speed cameras with many modern devices having the function installed.
Experts have warned drivers must be aware of the rule with officers
The Government has admitted that “millions of motorists” could be impacted by a new car parking law which could be introduced in months.
However, the updates will be good news for drivers with vehicle owners set to hold onto more of their hard-earned cash.
Plans are being drafted to tackle “unfair” fines with the current £100 fines set to be sliced to just £50.
The Department for Levelling Up, Housing and Communities has also revealed that debt recovery fees could
New figures from the Department for Transport have revealed that deaths caused by drink driving in the UK have reached their highest levels since 2009.
The latest report shows that between 240 and 280 people were killed in the UK during 2021 due to a driver being over the legal limit.
Bryn Brooker, the head of road safety for the dashcam manufacturer Nextbase, reacted to the figures and explained the devastating impact that drink driving can have.
He said: “This
