On that fateful day, Hamas killed more than 1,200 people in Israel, beginning a war that continues today. Desperate to get the hostages freed, family members have been traveling around the world to plead their case.

Gov. Ron DeSantis and the Florida Cabinet on Tuesday approved land deals that could help protect 86,819 acres across the state. The approvals included land purchases and acquiring conservation easements, which limit development on agricultural land. The deals total $318 million, with $8.39 million going for 2,483 acres in central Walton County, where a new state park is planned that will double as a buffer for Eglin Air Force Base. The deals include $111.24 million from the Florida Forever conservation program for seven parcels totaling 24,153 acres. Five of the Florida Forever deals involve the state buying land, and two establish conservation easements that allow landowners to continue agricultural uses in exchange for shielding the properties from development. At $32.65 million, the largest Florida Forever purchase is for 12,243 acres from Bear Creek Timber LLC in Bay County. The land is about six miles north of Tyndall Air Force Base.
