BEIRUT (AP) — Hezbollah dice que sigue buscando el cuerpo de comandante que era el blanco de un ataque israelí.
The Lebanese militant group Hezbollah say they are still searching for the body of a top commander targeted in an Israeli strike in Beirut. The Iran-backed group’s first comment after the strike targeting Fouad Shukur came hours after his death and followed a strike in Tehran that killed Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh. Hezbollah did not comment about the Hamas leader’s death. Israel claimed late Tuesday that they had killed Shukur, who they said was behind a rocket attack on Majdal Shams in the Israeli-occupied Golan Heights that killed 12 youths. Hezbollah said civil defense workers were still searching for his body and others under the rubble of the building Wednesday.
Matt Thaiss drove in a career-high five runs, Jo Adell hit a go-ahead home run in the seventh inning and the Los Angeles Angels overcame a four-run deficit to beat the Colorado Rockies 10-7. Thaiss became the first Angels catcher to drive in five runs with two steals in the same game and the second catcher in major league history to achieve the feat after Detroit’s Mickey Cochrane in 1934. Taylor Ward drove in three runs for the Angels, who trailed 6-2 after two innings and won for the sixth time in nine games.
As the 10th anniversary of the Islamic State group's atrocities against Iraq's Yazidis approaches, a traumatized community is still in many ways convulsed by the legacy of the militants' onslaught. The ripple effects are felt in the anguish of families whose loved ones remain missing and the trauma of former captives, many of whom had been forced into sexual enslavement. They are felt in the agony of some mothers who say they've had to choose between their Yazidi families and the children whom they gave birth to after they were captured and raped by or married to the extremists. While the community has embraced the return of the kidnapped mothers, the children’s fate has proved much more contentious.
Iran’s paramilitary Revolutionary Guard says Hamas leader Ismail Haniyeh has been assassinated in Tehran. No one immediately claimed responsibility for the assassination but suspicion fell on Israel, which has vowed to kill Haniyeh and other leaders of Hamas over the group’s Oct. 7 attack on Israel that killed 1,200 people and saw some 250 others taken hostage. Haniyeh was in Tehran to attend Iranian President Masoud Pezeshkian’s swearing-in ceremony on Tuesday. Iran gave no details on how Haniyeh was killed, and the Guard said early Wednesday that the attack was under investigation. The top Hamas leader in Gaza is Yahya Sinwar, who masterminded the Oct. 7 attack sparked the latest Israel-Hamas war.
