Israel has announced it is sending more troops into southern Lebanon as the Middle East moves closer to a full-scale regional war.
The United States aided Israel in intercepting many of the Iranian missiles on Tuesday, and President Joe Biden has vowed to support Israel in further retaliation.
"The U.S. doesn't know where it's going," says Akbar Shahid Ahmed, senior diplomatic correspondent for HuffPost.

Even in the midst of war, more than 30,000 pilgrims have already arrived in Ukraine, in the city of Uman, to celebrate the Jewish New Year – Rosh Hashanah.
The video shows the atmosphere in the city now.
It is reported that over 14,000 people didn't manage to get to Uman. In particular, because of yesterday's massive Iran's strikes on Israel – the airspace was closed and flights were canceled.

The walrus operator in #python allows for some nasty code sometimes.
```
>>> def toto():
... return dict(a=1, b=2)
...
>>> for x in (c := toto()).keys():
... print(x)
...
a
b
>>> c
{'a': 1, 'b': 2}
```
President Joe Biden said Tuesday that the United States was "fully supportive" of Israel after Iran's ballistic missile attacks, describing Tehran's assault as "defeated and ineffective."
Biden said he would now discuss with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu about how to respond to Iran, but that it remained to be seen what shape that response would take.
FRANCE 24's Fraser Jackson reports from Washington DC.

I remember reading an article times ago in favor of using python modules int he form of `python -m <module> <command>` instead of `<module> <command>` (e.g. `python -m pip list`, `python -m django startproject`, `python -m coverage run`, ...)
What's the best piece of text (e.g. article, docs, ...) I can share today to promote this behavior among other python projects?
If I may nitpick a little: in the `<module> <command>` form that's not actually a module you're running, it's an executable script, like an entry point. (Assuming I correctly understood what you meant) Many packages just happen to give their executable script the same name as their runnable module.
Not that it matters for the point you're making, but I have occasionally seen this confuse people who don't pick up on the difference, so if you're sharing advice I would suggest that it's useful to be precise about that point.
The US imposed sanctions on Tuesday against the radical Jewish settler gangs known as “Hilltop Youth”.
The State Department also sanctioned Israeli settler, Eitan Yardeni, for his involvement in violence targeting Palestinian civilians in the Occupied West Bank and Avichai Suissa, leader of Hashomer Yosh.
This non-governmental organisation says it helps protect settlers and recruits young volunteers for settler farms.
