Israel-Hezbollah ground clashes spread | FOX 7 Austin
SUMMARY: Clashes between Israel and Hezbollah are escalating, impacting UN peacekeeping forces in Lebanon. Israeli airstrikes targeted Central Beirut, resulting in over 20 deaths and numerous injuries, marking one of the bloodiest attacks in over a year.

Houston doctor reveals what you should know about UTIs, how to treat them
SUMMARY: Urinary tract infections (UTIs) affect about half of women and 10% of men in the U.S., posing a serious health risk as they can lead to sepsis. Health reporter Haley Hernandez highlights that while antibiotics are the main treatment, it’s vital to get a urine test to identify the proper antibiotic, as misuse can cause bacterial resistance.
