AP News, I'm Pam Joani. A senior Hamas fighter has been killed near Ramallah in the West Bank. A.B. correspondent Charles Dilla Desma reports. Hamas says one of its commanders in the occupied West Bank has been killed in a clash with Israeli forces. An official says Mohammed Jabah Abdul died along with three other fighters in a village near Ramallah, where the Western-backed Palestinian Authority is based. The Israeli army and police earlier on Monday said undercover forces had tracked down a suspect, wanted in an attack on a nearby Jewish settlement. Meanwhile, the UN Security Council has approved its first resolution endorsing a ceasefire plan aimed at ending the eight-month Israel Hamas war in Gaza. The vote on Monday on the U.S. sponsored resolution was 14-0 with Russia abstaining. I'm Charles Dilla Desma. Speaking at a White House Juneteenth concert last night, Vice President Kamala Harris says this year's National Hall a day will be marked by voting rights. This Juneteenth, we will hold a national day of action on voting. And I call on all the leaders here to please join us in helping more Americans register to vote. Shots have been fired at the border between South and North Korea. South Korea's military says its soldiers fired warning shots after North Korean troops violated the border Sunday. It says the North Korean soldiers were engaged in some unspecified work on the northern side of the border when they briefly crossed the military demarcation line. South Korea's Joint Chiefs of Staff says the violation did not appear intentional, the sites wooded and signs were not clearly visible, and the North Korean soldiers immediately returned to their territory after the shots and warning broadcasts. The Korea's land border is the world's most heavily armed and strewn with mines, and animosity has been high of late following the North's launches of trash carrying balloons. I'm Ben Thomas. This is AP News. AP correspondent Mike Kunzelman reports that the Hunter Biden case is now in the hands of the jury. 12 jurors heard closing arguments from the attorneys for Mr. Biden as well for the government in which they made their last case before the jury began deliberating for about an hour. The jury heard from the prosecutor, a prosecutor who said that the evidence was overwhelming against Mr. Biden and that he knowingly filled out a form in which he checked no on the box that asked if he was a drug addict, when in fact in his memoir and from the testimony of other people during the trial, it was well established that he had a long-running drug habit during the years after the death of his brother, Bo. The prosecutor also told the jury to disregard all of the famous faces in the front row of the court where Jill Biden, the first lady, was supporting her stepson along with President Joe Biden's brother, and they all supported him show up as they have since the trial began about a week ago. The defense attorney who spoke to the jury basically told him that he had a good reason to believe that he was not an active user of drugs at the time when he bought the gun. That's what the jury has to decide whether or not he lied on that form when he filled it out. I'm Hey up and Johnny, AP News. What's next?

No. Well, now you have. I'm Kat, mother of three and founder of Ritual, the company making traceability the new standard in the supplement industry. I remember staring at my prenatal vitamins and finding all these things I was trying to avoid. High amounts of heavy metals, synthetic colorants, and unnecessary ingredients. So, with four months pregnant, I quit my job and started ritual because I believe that all women deserve to know what they're putting in their bodies and why. I'm so proud of our prenatal vitamin. The ingredients are 100% traceable, it's third-party tested for microbes and heavy metals, and recently received the purity award from the Clean Label Project.
