Two Israeli air strikes on a building in Majdal Zoun, southern Lebanon, killed nine people, including three Lebanese Civil Defense rescue workers who were responding to the first strike; two Lebanese soldiers were wounded. Israel said it targeted a Hezbollah commander nearby and is reviewing details, while rights groups warn that deliberate attacks on medics could amount to a war crime.

"Russian 'Double Tap' Missile Strike Kills Dozens in Odesa"

Russia launched a double-tap missile strike on the Ukrainian port city of Odesa, killing at least 14 people and injuring 46 others, including emergency workers. This brutal tactic involves targeting the site of an initial blast to inflict maximum casualties, drawing out bystanders and rescue workers. The attack, carried out using Iskander ballistic missiles, caused civilian infrastructure damage and is the latest in a series of strikes on Odesa. The incident underscores ongoing Russian aggression in Europe and comes amid uncertainty over Western military support for Ukraine.
