ISRAEL STRIKES Back: Hezbollah’s Financial Stronghold Targeted
Israel’s military is set to target Hezbollah’s financial operations in Lebanon. The focus will be on al-Qard al-Hassan, a unit that funds the Iran-backed group. Rear Adm. Daniel Hagari stated that evacuation warnings will be issued for certain areas in Beirut and beyond.
The Israeli military plans to hit many targets linked to Hezbollah’s financial activities. Al-Qard al-Hassan, sanctioned by the U.S. and Saudi Arabia, provides services used by both Hezbollah operatives and ordinary Lebanese citizens. The scope of these evacuation warnings remains unclear at this time.
This move follows rising tensions between Israel and Hezbollah over the war in Gaza, which escalated into full-scale conflict last month with Israeli ground troops entering Lebanon earlier this month.
The announcement comes amid calls from U.S. Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin for Israel to reduce civilian casualties, particularly around Beirut, labeling them "far too high.
COLD-BLOODED Killer Still Roams Free: 16 Years of Heartbreak in Tinley Park
On February 2, 2008, a man pretending to be a delivery driver entered a Lane Bryant store in Tinley Park, Illinois. Armed with a .40-caliber semiautomatic handgun, he forced six women into a back room. After tying their hands with duct tape and assaulting one woman, he shot all six victims.
Amazingly, one woman survived and gave police a description of the suspect. Despite thousands of leads over the past 16 years, authorities have yet to catch him. The suspect is described as a Black man between 25 and 35 years old at the time of the crime, standing just over six feet tall with corn-rowed hair and green beads on one braid.
Grainy surveillance footage showed two dark vehicles near the scene during the murders. However, it is unclear if either vehicle was used by the attacker. The tragic event claimed five lives: Jennifer Bishop, Carrie Chiuso, Rhoda McFarland, Sarah Szafranski, and Connie Woolfolk.
The Tinley Park Police continue to seek justice for these victims while urging anyone with information to come forward. This cold-blooded case remains unsolved despite extensive efforts by law enforcement agencies for more than a decade.
NEW FIGHTER JET Program Aims to Counter China and Russia Threats
Japan, the U.K., and Italy are teaming up to create a new combat aircraft by 2035 under the Global Combat Air Program (GCAP). This project aims to strengthen defense against threats from China, Russia, and North Korea. The advanced stealth fighter will replace Japan’s F-2s and Eurofighter Typhoons.
Japanese Defense Minister Gen Nakatani announced the creation of the GCAP International Government Organization (GIGO) by year’s end. GIGO will manage aircraft development from its base in the U.K., led by a Japanese official. This announcement came after a meeting with his U.K. and Italian counterparts at the Group of Seven defense ministers meeting in Naples, Italy.
Private companies like Japan’s Mitsubishi Heavy Industries, Britain’s BAE Systems PLC, and Italy’s Leonardo are part of this effort. Nakatani confirmed that GIGO is on track to sign its first contract next year despite leadership changes in Japan and the U.K. This partnership highlights a commitment to boosting military capabilities amid global security concerns.
