UNDER SCRUTINY

Maybe a sales clerk who sold the pressure cooker left female DNA on what would become a Boston bomb. Or could Tamerlan Tsarnaev's wife have been involved? Plus, the Canadian boxer connection. The Daily Beast's Michael Daly investigates.

ELVIS WAS IN THE BUILDING

In the Ireland of America, locals pay little mind as mad Elvis-impersonating martial artists plotters come and go. Sixth-generation Mississippian Stuart Stevens is on the scene.

CONFLICT

An Israeli rocket killed one Palestinian and wounded two others in Gaza on Tuesday—the first lethal airstrike in the region since the November truce. The man killed has been identified as Haitham Mishal, who Palestinian authorities said was a police officer but Israel claimed he was a jihadist involved in the April 17 rocket attack on Eilat. Al Qaeda–linked militants have claimed responsibility for the Eilat attack, but Israel believes Hamas—the ruling party in Gaza—is to blame. In the November truce, Israel agreed to stop assassinating wanted militants while Gaza militants said they would cease rocket attacks—which led to a few months of relative calm.

This may not be hard to believe, but things aren't looking up at Guantánamo Bay. The number of prisoners currently on hunger strike has hit 100, forcing the United States to send 40 nurses and medical specialists to the detention center to monitor the situation over the weekend. Of those on strike, 21 are being force-fed. The inmates, many of whom are held without charge, are protesting their detention with the hunger strike, which began in February.

TOT ZIENS

The queen has left the building. The Netherlands' Queen Beatrix abdicated the throne on Tuesday, handing it over to her son, Willem-Alexander. He will be the country's first king since 1890. Beatrix, 75, who has been on the throne for 33 years, announced her plans to step down in January, saying it was time for a "new generation" to take over. About a million people are expected to travel to Amsterdam for the occasion, and street parties will take place throughout the country. The royal family will take part in a water festival on Tuesday night.
