It followed days of devastating air strikes focusing on the Shia-dominated south of Lebanon, as well as Beirut, which killed Hassan Nasrallah, Hezbollah’s leader, and a slew of his key lieutenants.

Some scenes from today
Interesting night. I guess we don’t have much longer until World War 3 begins. Some news stations have picked up the story of a new Indian astrologer, who’s being called a modern Nostradamus.
He apparently predicts that World War 3 will begin tomorrow.
Just when you get ready to laugh that off, you see a headline that Russian President Vladimir Putin is visiting North Korea tomorrow.
This visit is causing quite a stir in the international community. North Korea, known for its secretive regime and nuclear ambitions, has long been a point of contention in global politics. Russia’s relationship with North Korea has always been complex, marked by strategic alliances and mutual interests. The timing of Putin’s visit, coinciding with the astrologer’s dire prediction, adds an eerie twist to the unfolding events. Many experts are speculating about the implications of this meeting, considering the already heightened tensions on the global stage.

It was the second-largest rally in support of Gaza held outside the White House in Washington since the war began, as part of a global day of protests marking 100 days since the Hamas attack of October 7 that killed more than 1,200 and saw hundreds more taken hostage.
Women wearing Palestinian dresses staged a sit-down protest, cradling bloodied dolls bound in sheets. Demonstrators carried Palestinian flags and displayed signs questioning Joe Biden’s suitability as a presidential candidate due to his unwavering support for Israel. Some of the signs read: “No votes for Genocide Joe,” “Biden has blood on his hands,” and “Let Gaza live.” There also were chants of “F*ck Joe Biden.”
