Dozen strikes overnight in Lebanon
SUMMARY: As the anniversary of the first attacks on Israel approaches, Israel intensifies its bombardment of Lebanon, targeting Hezbollah positions. Lebanese sources report significant casualties, with 25 killed and over 127 injured in a single day, as the conflict escalates. Hezbollah retaliates with missile attacks on Northern Israel, and Israel urges Southern Lebanese residents to evacuate, displacing 1.2 million people. Amid fears of a broader conflict, an Israeli military official indicates preparations for a significant response to recent Iranian attacks. The U.S. has discouraged Israel from targeting Iran’s oil industry and nuclear facilities, while also striking Iranian-backed targets in Yemen.

Election 2024: Edwards challenged by Rudow in District 11 | North Carolina
SUMMARY: In North Carolina’s 11th Congressional District, Democrat Caleb Rudow aims to challenge Republican Rep. Chuck Edwards, who seeks a second term. Since flipping from Democratic control in 2010, Republicans have gradually seen their winning margins decrease. Edwards won by 30,000 votes in 2022, down from over 100,000 in 2016. While Edwards highlights his legislative experience and local values, Rudow advocates for working families, prioritizing health care access and environmental conservation. Despite Edwards raising $1.1 million for his campaign compared to Rudow’s $330,000, both candidates emphasize their vision for better representation for their constituents.
