GEOFF BENNETT: Turning to# the day's other headlines:## The Pentagon says it's investigating Arizona# Senator Mark Kelly over a video .. a number of other U.S.

lawmakers urged U.S.# troops to refuse to follow illegal orders.

Defense officials say Kelly's comments may# have interfered with the loyalty, morale,## or good order and discipline of the armed# forces.

Kelly retired at the rank of captain.## He would have to be recalled to active duty by the# defense secretary to face any disciplinary action.

In a statement, Kelly said: "I have given# too much to this country to be silenced## by bullies who care more about their own# power than protecting the Constitution."

The Trump administration formally designated# Venezuela's Cartel de los Soles as a foreign## terror organization today.

The move is part of a## sweeping new pressure campaign against# President Nicolas Maduro's government,## as President Trump openly weighs whether the U.S.# should take military action against Venezuela.

Secretary of State Marco Rubio has accused the# group of being responsible for terrorist violence.## But the Maduro government denies the cartel even# exists.

And regional experts say it's less a## single organization than a nickname.

They describe# it as an umbrella term for high-ranking Venezuelan## military and political figures accused of# profiting from the international narcotics trade.

Turning now to the Middle East, the Gaza# Humanitarian Foundation says it's permanently## ending its operations in the territory.

In# a statement, the U.S.- and Israeli-backed## group claims it was the only aid operation that# reliably and safely provided free meals in Gaza.

But its operations were shrouded in secrecy# and its sites were marred by violence.## Hundreds of Palestinians were reportedly# killed by Israeli troops as they sought aid,## though Israel maintains it only fired# warning shots to control the crowds.

It comes as hospital officials in Gaza say# at least 24 people were killed and Israeli## strikes this past weekend.

Israel says it# was responding to gunfire on its troops.## Authorities in Gaza told the "News Hour" that# the strike targeted displaced Palestinians.

ABDULLAH AL-MAJDALAWI, Public Relations Director,# Gaza Civil Defense (through translator):## It is important to note that this# all happens during a period that## should have been a cease-fire.

But this# violation was very clear today.

Some## of those targeted were in tents.

Now# their bodies are completely charged.

GEOFF BENNETT: Meantime, in Lebanon, thousands# attended the funeral today for Hezbollah's top## military commander who was killed in an# Israeli strike this weekend in Beirut.## Israel has been stepping up its attacks# on Lebanon in recent weeks as it tries## to push the country to move faster# in disarming the militant group.

The EPA is starting to allow the use# of pesticides containing PFAS on food.## It's part of an effort to roll back the# regulation of what are called forever## chemicals because they don't break down# easily in the environment.

Last week,## the agency approved the use of two# new pesticides that qualify as PFAS.

It means that farmers could spread# them on crops like romaine, lettuce,## broccoli and potatoes.

The Washington# Post is reporting that agency plans to## approve four more pesticides.

Not much# is known about their long-term impact,## but PFAS have been linked to certain cancers,# birth defects and other health problems.

In a statement to the "News Hour"# today, the EPA said it will provide## transparent science-based information# on how the chemicals are evaluated.

On Wall Street today, stocks enjoyed# solid gains to start the Thanksgiving## holiday week.

The Dow Jones industrial# average added more than 200 points.

The## Nasdaq jumped nearly 600 points.

The S&P 500# posted one of its best days since the summer.

And a beloved star of Indian# cinema, actor Dharmendra, has died.## He rose to fame in the 1970s with hits# like "Sholay," Bollywood's take on a## spaghetti Western.

At the time, the film# was the highest grossing Bollywood movie## ever.

Dharmendra was known as part# action hero, part romantic lead.

In a career spanning over six decades,# he appeared in over 300 movies and is## widely considered one of the greatest# Indian actors of all time.

Dharmendra## had been in and out of the hospital# in recent weeks.

He was 89 years old.

And Viola Fletcher, the oldest living survivor of# the 1921 Tulsa Race Massacre, has died.

Fletcher## was just 7 years old when a white mob destroyed# the Greenwood district of Tulsa, once known as## Black Wall Street, killing hundreds, burning# businesses, schools and churches, and leaving## as many as 10,000 people homeless.

Fletcher# carried those memories for more than a century.

In her later years, she became# a national witness to history,## speaking with students and journalists# and testifying before Congress.

VIOLA FLETCHER, Tulsa Race Massacre Survivor: I# will never forget the violence of the white mob## when we left our home.

I still see Black men# seeing -- being shot.

I hear the screams.

I## have lived through the massacre every day.

Our# country may forget this history, but I cannot.

GEOFF BENNETT: Fletcher was one of two# survivors who sued the state of Oklahoma## seeking damages from the city.

Last year, the# state's Supreme Court rejected their case,## dealing a serious setback to a# decades-long fight for reparations.

Fletcher's grandson, in confirming her passing,## said: "She had a beautiful smile on her# face.

She loved life.

She loved people."

Viola Fletcher was 111 years old.
