Mossad continues to hunt them, with Israeli officials calling the survivors "dead men walking." Chinese Navy Ships Collide in the South China Sea: Two Chinese naval vessels collided while pursuing a Philippine Coast Guard ship, causing major damage and embarrassment for Beijing. The mishap raises questions about the battle readiness of China's rapidly expanding military. Supreme Court to Hear Case That Could Overturn Gay Marriage: A Kentucky county clerk's legal battle has escalated into a challenge to the 2015 ruling legalizing same-sex marriage nationwide.
