Bullet points of Israeli airstrikes kill 7th senior Hezbollah official in Lebanon and hit Houthi targets in Yemen
- The Israeli military killed Nabil Kaouk, the deputy head of Hezbollah's Central Council, in an airstrike, making him the seventh senior Hezbollah leader slain in Israeli strikes in a little over a week.

- The strikes have killed at least 20 other Hezbollah militants, including two close associates of Nasrallah, and have driven hundreds of thousands of people from their homes in Lebanon.
- The United States has warned that Hezbollah will work quickly to rebuild its command structure, but the group's leader, Hassan Nasrallah, was killed in a previous strike.
- The conflict has steadily ratcheted up to the brink of all-out war, raising fears of a region-wide conflagration, and the United States has called for a 21-day temporary cease-fire.
- Hezbollah has fired rockets and missiles into northern Israel, but most have been intercepted or fallen in open areas, and no Israelis have been killed since the latest wave of strikes began on September 20.
- The strikes have also targeted Houthi targets in Yemen, with dozens of aircraft striking power plants and sea port facilities in the city of Hodeida.
- The United States has announced sanctions against Nabil Kaouk, and the White House national security spokesman, John Kirby, has said that the group will try to recover from the loss of its command structure.

The situation in India concerning the safety of health care workers is deeply concerning, as highlighted by the recent rape and murder of a young doctor in Kolkata. The protests by doctors demanding stronger laws to protect them from violence are completely justified.

The government's response urging doctors to return to work and promising to address their demands is a step in the right direction, but concrete actions need to be taken to ensure the safety and security of all healthcare workers across the country.

- The city has built a subway since its last Olympics and has planned an ambitious slate of 28 bus and rail projects to transform public transit, including the extension of a subway line to connect downtown Los Angeles with UCLA.
- The Inglewood People Mover, an automated, three-stop rail line past major Olympic venues, is still under construction, with a reduced budget of $200 million due to opposition from Democratic Rep. Maxine Waters.
- The city is focusing on improving transportation by 2028 and the goal of a 'car-free' Olympics, with a $900 million funding package and grants from the Biden administration.

- A landslide at the Kiteezi landfill in Kampala, Uganda, has killed at least 18 people and injured 14 others, with at least two of the dead being children.
- The collapse is believed to have been triggered by heavy rainfall, and the city authority said there was a 'structural failure in waste mass'.
- The Kiteezi landfill is on a steep slope in an impoverished part of the city and has been a source of income for women and children who scavenge plastic waste.
- The site has been considered for closure and relocation to a larger area outside the city since 2016, but the plan has not yet been implemented.
- Ugandan President Yoweri Museveni has ordered an investigation into the incident and questioned why people were living in close proximity to the landfill.
- The president said that effluent from the site is hazardous and that people should not be living there, and called for an investigation into who allowed people to live near the landfill.
