Two sources told USA TODAY the incident occurred when a member of Trump's team pushed his way into recording in a part of the cemetery, known as Section 60, where photography is prohibited.

In a Middle East that is already fraught with tension, this is another dangerous moment.
Israel’s most widespread military operation in the occupied West Bank is ongoing with reports in the last hour of fierce gun battles between Israeli forces and Palestinian militants in the northern city of Jenin.
Israel has called it a "counter-terrorism operation", but civilians are being caught up in the violence.

Ukraine has begun using F-16 warplanes in combat as Russia has mounted a massive aerial assault on civilian infrastructure, according to a U.S. official.
F-16s are the most sophisticated weapon the U.S.-led coalition has supplied Ukraine in its war with Russia. The White House and Pentagon had resisted offering them, fearing that they would be seen as an escalation by Russian President Vladimir Putin.
U.S. allies supplied the fighter jets, and Ukrainian pilots have been training for months in the United States to fly them. The first F-16s arrived in Ukraine early in August. The official who confirmed their use in combat was not authorized to speak publicly.
The jets are capable of defending Ukrainian airspace from Russian incursions, shooting down drones and missiles and providing support for troops on the ground.

More than a million people have been removed from Texas’s voter registration rolls since the last presidential election, the state announced Monday.
Texas Gov. Greg Abbott (R) said in a statement that the removals represent an effort to “protect the right to vote and to crackdown on illegal voting.”
“These reforms have led to the removal of over one million ineligible people from our voter rolls in the last three years, including noncitizens, deceased voters, and people who moved to another state,” Abbott said. “Illegal voting in Texas will never be tolerated. We will continue to actively safeguard Texans’ sacred right to vote while also aggressively protecting our elections from illegal voting.”
A tire blowout on a Delta Air Lines jet during maintenance at the Atlanta airport on Tuesday killed two employees and seriously injured a third, authorities in Georgia said.

The identities of the dead workers were not immediately disclosed. The third Delta employee was taken to hospital with “major injuries”, but the worker’s condition on Tuesday afternoon was not known.
