The United Nations at the time noted that the attacks “constitute war crimes of murder, attacking civilians, and launching indiscriminate attacks, in addition to violating the right to life” adding that, “Around 500 people suffered severe eye injuries, including a diplomat. Others suffered grave injuries to their faces, hands and bodies” and that “It is also a war crime to commit violence intended to spread terror among civilians, including to intimidate or deter them from supporting an adversary, A climate of fear now pervades everyday life in Lebanon”.

At the time, when asked about the attacks, former CIA director Leon Panetta said, “I don’t think there’s any question that it’s a form of terrorism”.

Now, a new book quietly reveals that Israel carried out the terrorist attack with the help of the AI surveillance firm Palantir, led by Alex Karp and Peter Thiel.

Their experience underscores concerns election experts have had about the reliability of SAVE, which the Trump administration has turned into a controversial citizenship lookup tool. While the changes to SAVE have made the tool more accessible to states, the overhauled system has been widely criticized for being rolled out without public notice, congressional input or transparency about its accuracy.

It marks the first time the U.S. criticized China for aiming radars at Japanese military aircraft as the diplomatic spat between Beijing and Tokyo shows no sign of easing.

The United States has for the first time criticized China for aiming radars at Japanese military aircraft during a training exercise last week, about which the Asian neighbors have given differing accounts amid escalating tensions.

The run-in near Japan's Okinawa islands comes after Japanese Prime Minister Sanae Takaichi set off a dispute with Beijing last month with her remarks on how Tokyo might react to a hypothetical Chinese attack on Taiwan.

China claims democratically governed Taiwan and has not ruled out using force to take control of the island, which sits just over 62 miles from Japanese territory and is surrounded by sea lanes on which Tokyo relies.

"China's actions are not conducive to regional peace and stability," a State Department spokesperson said late Tuesday, referring to the radar incident.

Eileen Higgins’s win has reset the city’s political landscape in some ways not seen in 28 years, and in others not at all

Miami's new mayor, Eileen Higgins, hailed it as "a new day" for the city after the Democrat ended three decades of Republican rule on Tuesday night in a stunning election triumph.

In reality, the result is more of a seismic shifting of sands given the magnitude of her victory over the Donald Trump-backed Republican candidate, Emilio González, in the most populous city in Miami-Dade county, which the president won in 2024 by 12%.

Higgins won the run-off with almost 60% of the vote, according to preliminary results reported Wednesday by the Miami Herald. More than just further evidence of a growing national backlash against Trump's policies on the national stage, particularly immigration, her win has reset Miami's political landscape in a manner not seen in some ways in 28 years, and in others not at all.
