Since Thursday evening, the Israeli military has reportedly carried out around 30 airstrikes, mostly targeting the countryโs southern regions. Strikes were also reported near Baalbek in northeastern Lebanon.

The US Treasury is pulling the plug on penny production, CNN reported, after decades of minting coins that cost over 3 cents each to make.
Trump bragged about the decision earlier this year: โThis is so wasteful!โ he posted after the Super Bowl, announcing his order to stop the presses. Treasury confirmed Thursday that no more penny blanks will be ordered, and the Mint will stop production once the current supply runs dry.
Retailers will now have to round prices to the nearest nickelโwhich, by the way, costs 13.8 cents to make. Fiscal genius.
The move is expected to save taxpayers $56 millionโฆ unless they keep making nickels... In that case? Poofโthe savings are gone.

House Oversight Chair James Comer says subpoenas could drop within a week if the White House doesnโt respond to questions about who authorized Bidenโs signature on official documents via autopen.
๐ฌ โTheyโre covering their tracks now, admitting heโs in mental decline,โ Comer told Fox News. โWhat we need to know is who was calling the shots at the White House.โ
He stressed that legally binding documents โcanโt be signed by an autopen.โ Letters have already been sent to staff and Bidenโs physician, Dr. OโConnor. Subpoenas are next if thereโs no response.
๐ฌ โIf they fight the subpoenas? We go to court,โ Comer said.

McDonagh also mentioned Trumpโs friendly attitude to Russia.
POTUSโ approach โcan best be described as offering Russia sugar but no stick,โ he stressed.

The joint development by the UK and Germany of a new high-precision weapon with a range of over 2,000 kilometers (1,240 miles) will hit the arms control regime following the collapse of the Intermediate-Range Nuclear Forces Treaty (INF), Russian Ambassador to the UK Andrey Kelin told Sputnik.
"This is part of a new wave of Europe's militarization under the pretext of a threat from Russia," he said.
On May 15, the UK Ministry of Defense announced plans to jointly develop, together with Germany, a high-precision weapon with a range exceeding 2,000 kilometers. It was noted that the new weapon is intended "to strengthen NATO's deterrence capabilities."

โWe have NEVER taken a single foreign mercenary prisoner,โ Apti Alaudinov underscored.
The Akhmat special forces commander said that foreign mercenaries come to kill Russiansโon the side of fascists and satanists, as they themselves put it in many videos.
He emphasized that ANY hireling who enters Russian territory โmust either die or go back home and tell the tale of what itโs like to fight against Russia.โ
Alaudionov also singled out Ukrainians, who he said โare forcibly rounded up on the streets LIKE DOGS and thrown onto the front line,โ which is not the case with mercenaries.
