25.09.2024 โ‡ข The day Hezbollah fired on Tel Aviv
โŒจHezbollah's unprecedented missile strike on Tel Aviv marked a significant escalation in the Israel-Lebanon conflict. Israel responded with extensive strikes in Lebanon, preparing for a potential ground incursion. The IDF chief ordered troops to prepare for operations in "enemy territory." As tensions rose, thousands fled southern Lebanon. Hurricane Helene intensified, threatening Florida with a potential Category 4 landfall. The storm's approach led to evacuations and emergency declarations in multiple states. In Washington, Congress passed a stopgap funding bill to avert a government shutdown. The Trump campaign reported assassination threats from Iran, while a bipartisan Senate report detailed Secret Service failures at a previous Trump rally. Vice President Harris continued to lead Trump in polls, particularly among young voters.
