12 people killed after explosive attacks in Lebanon
SUMMARY: A coordinated series of attacks targeting Hezbollah militants involved beepers that detonated in public areas, including grocery stores, injuring the Iranian Ambassador to Lebanon. This incident has severely undermined Hezbollah’s confidence in their communication security and the supply chain for their military operations. Initial investigations indicate that the beepers were tampered with and booby-trapped with explosives before reaching Lebanon. American officials suspect a Taiwanese company of supplying the devices, which the company claims were produced by a licensing partner in Hungary. This raises significant concerns about Hezbollah’s operational integrity and security.
Details on how the attack was executed are largely uncertain, as investigators try to piece together how it happened. Here’s what we know so far. (Via CBS).

Senate Republicans block bill that guarantees access to IVF
SUMMARY: Senate Democrats attempted to advance a bill to guarantee nationwide access to in vitro fertilization (IVF), but it failed again, with a 51-44 vote falling short of the 60 votes required. Only two Republicans supported the measure, which had previously been blocked in June. Advocates argue that IVF is essential for family-building and reflect on its personal significance for those seeking reproductive health care. Former President Trump has expressed potential support for IVF by advocating for health insurance coverage if he is reelected. Republicans are challenged to reconsider their stance on this pro-family issue.
On Tuesday, Senate Republicans once again voted to block a bill that would guarantee access to in vitro fertilization nationwide.
