AP Domestic<\/span><\/p>\n President Joe Biden’s\u00a0administration is in\u00a0“very close contact” with Colonial Pipeline after a cyberattack disrupted fuel deliveries and threatened a gas shortage\u00a0across the Southeast and Mid-Atlantic regions.\u00a0The president also signed an executive order Wednesday to modernize the nation’s cyber defense. Colonial Pipeline reopened its pipeline operation Wednesday afternoon after closing it\u00a0for six days.\u00a0However, the company said it would take several days before its supply chain could return to normal.\u00a0One expert told USA TODAY that consumers should expect fuel shortages to go away by Memorial Day. In the meantime, multiple experts have urged Americans not to hoard gas. Still, the practice has persisted.\u00a0 <\/p>\n A cyberattack on the Colonial Pipeline may lead to a fuel shortage in parts of the Southeast. Find out why gas prices may be on the rise.<\/p>\n USA TODAY<\/span><\/p>\n Israel on Wednesday pressed ahead with a fierce military offensive in the Gaza Strip, killing as many as 10 senior Hamas military figures and toppling a pair of high-rise towers housing Hamas facilities in airstrikes. Israel’s military said more raids conducted early Thursday were aimed at several “strategically significant” facilities. On the opposite side, Gaza militants continued to bombard Israel with nonstop rocket fire throughout Wednesday and into early Thursday. In just three days, this latest round of fighting between the bitter enemies has already begun to resemble a devastating 50-day war in 2014. Like in that war, neither side appears to have an exit strategy. The Biden administration has dispatched a top State Department diplomat to the Middle East “immediately” to try to de-escalate the deadly conflict. <\/p>\n President Joe Biden says that \u201cIsrael has a right to defend itself\u201d amid a barrage of rockets fired by Hamas and other Palestinian groups. Biden says he spoke with Israeli Prime Minister amid an outbreak of violence that has killed dozens.

Additionally, the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention (CDC) recommended adolescents in the age group\u00a0should receive\u00a0other routine vaccinations along with the COVID-19 shot.\u00a0Out of an abundance of caution, the original recommendation for COVID-19 vaccines had included\u00a0a two-week window of separation between a COVID-19 shot and any other vaccine so the cause of any side effects would be clear and so that safety data could be collected.\u00a0The recommendation was also updated for all age groups by the committee,\u00a0said the CDC’s Dr. Kate Woodworth.\u00a0\u00a0<\/p>\n Children as young as 12 should get the Pfizer-BioNTech COVID-19 vaccine, a CDC panel recommended.<\/p>\n USA TODAY<\/span><\/p>\n First lady Jill Biden\u00a0and actress\u00a0Jennifer Garner\u00a0are set to visit West Virginia on Thursday, touring the Arnoldsburg Elementary School in Clay County and visiting a COVID-19 vaccination center at Capital High School in Charleston. \u00a0Biden also\u00a0will visit with West Virginia National Guard members and their families.\u00a0This is not the first time the pair have met. Ahead of the 2020 election in October, Garner, who grew up in Charleston, West Virginia, hosted a virtual conversation with Biden to discuss her priorities for the country and her plans should President Joe Biden, then a candidate, win the\u00a0election. <\/p>\nBiden administration monitoring Colonial Pipeline as service resumes\u00a0<\/span><\/h2>\n
