Significant Events:
- “The Middle East was bracing for possible retaliation from Hezbollah or its allies after Israel and Hezbollah announced the death of Hasan Nasrallah, the militant group’s longtime leader. The Israel Defense Forces said it “eliminated” Nasrallah in a Friday strike on Hezbollah’s “central headquarters” that leveled several residential buildings in the southern suburbs of Beirut. Israel’s defense minister said the strike was one of “the most important countermeasures” in Israel’s history, as Hezbollah allies across the region called for a swift response.” Washington Post
- “Israel says it is targeting Hezbollah in Lebanon and that it has destroyed dozens of the Iran-backed group’s rocket launchers and other weapons. Many of the airstrikes have hit residential areas where Israel says Hezbollah has hidden its weapons. And though Israel says it has warned people to evacuate those areas, the strikes have killed civilians — including children.” CBS News
- “At home: The United States is experiencing an “unprecedented” and increasing level of threats against public officials at all levels. Abroad: Artificial intelligence is “accelerating” malign influence operations by U.S. adversaries like China, Iran and Russia before Election Day.” US News & World Report
