Hashem Safi Al-Din, who is the presumed successor of former Hezbollah secretary-general Hassan Nasrallah, was reportedly killed along with other senior officials in an Israeli strike in southern Beirut on Friday, an unnamed official told Sky News Arabia. Additionally, several high-ranking Islamic Revolutionary Guard Corps (IRGC) officers were in the same location when the airstrike hit. One of them is believed to be Ismail Qaani, a Brigadier General in the IRGC and commander of its Quds Force. A Lebanese security source told Sky News that the chances of anyone surviving the targeted strike were “almost zero.” The Saudi news organization Al-Hadath had previously reported that Safieddine was dead on Saturday morning.

Hassan Nasrallah's son-in-law, Hassan Jafar Qassir, may have been killed in airstrikes in the Mezzeh neighborhood in Damascus on Wednesday, according to early reports published by Sky News Arabic. Hassan is the brother of Muhammad Jafar Qassir, who was killed in a strike in Beirut on Wednesday during the Iranian attack on Israel. Hassan's assassination is another severe blow to Hezbollah as its leadership has been slowly picked off in Israeli operations. Muhammed became a leading figure in the deliveries of Iranian weapons from Syria, and Hassan married Hassan Nasrallah's daughter, cementing their connection to Hezbollah and Iran.
The U.S. Department of Defense has announced that it is further reinforcing the Middle East defense posture by deploying three additional U.S. Air Force squadrons and ordering the USS Abraham Lincoln carrier strike group to remain in the U.S. Central Command (CENTCOM) area of operations. The measures are meant to deter aggression and mitigate the risk of a broader regional conflict, said the Pentagon, as the already high tensions in the area have heightened even more following Israel’s targeted assassination of terror group Hezbollah leader Hassan Nasrallah in Lebanon.
Iran's Supreme Leader Ayatollah Ali Khamenei has said his country's proxies stand with Hezbollah following Israel's claims that it had killed its chief Hassan Nasrallah. However, Tehran is limited in how it can retaliate, a regional expert has told Newsweek. The Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) said on Saturday it had killed in an airstrike Ahmed Muhammad Fahd, the head of a Hamas network in southern Syria. The IDF then added that Nasrallah was "eliminated" in an airstrike in Dahiyeh, south of Beirut, Lebanon, on Friday. IRGC Brigadier General Abbas Nilforooshan was also killed in the attacks on Beirut. Khamenei has been transferred to a secure location inside Iran,
Texas and 16 other states sued the Biden administration, accusing it of attempting to unlawfully rewrite a federal disability law to include “gender dysphoria” in a newly approved rule. The lawsuit was filed on September 26 against the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services (HHS) under the charge that its rule “upends decades of established federal disability law” by redefining “gender dysphoria” as a disability under the Americans With Disabilities Act and Section 504 of the Rehabilitation Act. The ADA defines disability as “physical or mental impairment that constitutes or results in a substantial impediment to employment.”
The HHS issued a rule that states gender dysphoria “may be a disability.”
Killing Nasrallah

Friday evening in the Levant, Israel targeted buildings in the southern suburbs of Beirut killing Hezbollah General Secretary Hassan Nasrallah. This operation represents a dramatic shift in Israeli strategy. Not only have they finally liquidated an adversary they’ve long been capable of killing, they’ve also turned a deaf ear to their superpower patron of more than half a century. But at this stage, heeding Washington’s advice in war is like taking counsel from the angel of death. Just as the U.S. is no longer willing or able to win the wars it commits Americans to fight, the Joe Biden administration won’t let U.S.allies win wars either.
An appeals court slashed former President Trump's bond payment on Monday, saying Trump must pay $175 million within the next 10 days. Trump had previously faced a Monday deadline to pay a $454 million bond payment that came as a result of civil fraud allegations from New York Attorney General Letitia James. A New York Appeals Court, hours before the deadline to post the $454 million, lowered that bond considerably. The court ordered that Trump post $175 million within 10 days. Trump said he will "abide" by the appeals decision and post the $175 million bond.
A leading child psychiatrist has won a lawsuit after he was abruptly fired for comments about gender dysphoria. Dr. Allan Josephson, 72, was tapped to head the University of Louisville's Division of Child and Adolescent Psychiatry more than 20 years ago. In 2017, Josephson expressed caution about gender treatments for children - leading to his termination in 2019. After being hit with a federal free speech lawsuit, the Kentucky school argued it was within its rights to fire Josephson for the criticism, aired at a Heritage Foundation panel. Now that he's been vindicated, his message for academia is 'tolerance is a two-way street.'
On September 24, 2024, a federal judge ruled that two New York pregnancy help organizations are free to continue sharing information about Abortion Pill Reversal and issued a preliminary injunction blocking New York Attorney General Letitia James from silencing the constitutionally protected speech of these pro-life ministries while their lawsuit moves forward. The lawsuit argued that James’ targeting of pregnancy help organizations threats and prosecution unconstitutionally chills their speech about the safety and efficacy of Abortion Pill Reversal.
A conservative appeals court raised concerns that Republicans’ arguments for forbidding the counting of mail ballots that arrive after Election Day require throwing out votes cast before Election Day. A panel of three judges – all appointees of former President Donald Trump – on the US 5th Circuit Court of Appeals also had tough questions at a Tuesday hearing for those defending Mississippi’s policy, the target of a GOP lawsuit, of accepting properly-postmarked mail ballots that are received by election officials within five days after an election. The Republican National Committee and others are suing -to tee up a case that could jeopardize mail ballots cast elsewhere in the country.

A New York appeals court is set to hear arguments in Donald Trump’s fight to overturn a civil fraud judgment that could disrupt his real estate empire and cost him close to a half-billion dollars. The former president and current Republican nominee has given no indication he plans to attend Thursday’s hearing in Manhattan. Trump’s lawyers are asking the state’s intermediate appellate court to nullify a judge’s findings. They contend that Judge Arthur Engoron’s verdict was “egregious” and should be reversed. A five-judge panel will hear the case. Each side has been allotted 15 minutes to argue. It is also expected to be livestreamed.
The IDF is anxiously following about 40,000 militia volunteers and mercenaries who came from various countries in the Middle East including Iraq, Yemen, and Syria, and are assembled in Syria, near the Golan Heights, awaiting the call of the Secretary-General of Hezbollah Hassan Nasrallah to join the fighting, Haaretz reported Tuesday night. Israel’s security establishment says that even though they are not professional fighters, it’s still a concern. “They are not elite fighters; Hamas Nukhba forces were not professional, and yet we have seen what a force of 2,000-3,000 armed men can do” “This is a risk we cannot take, and if necessary, we will also act in Syria.”

President Biden warned that the money for a disaster aid loan program used by survivors of Hurricane Helene and other calamities will soon dry up without intervention from Congress.
In a letter to the four congressional leaders on Friday, Mr. Biden said the Small Business Administration’s program is on the verge of going broke before Congress is slated to return after the Nov. 5 election.
The loans are a “critical lifeline” that act as the “largest source of Federal disaster recovery funds,” he said, adding that $1.2 billion is needed to refill the program’s coffers. Lawmakers are out of town until Nov. 12. “I warned the Congress

The United States announced that it would be providing $157 million in humanitarian aid to address the “crisis in Lebanon” and those who have been affected by it.
In a press release on Friday, U.S. Secretary of State Antony Blinken revealed that the “nearly $157 million” in humanitarian assistance would go towards addressing “new and existing needs to internally displaced persons and refugee populations” for communities in Lebanon.
“The United States will provide nearly $157 million in new U.S. humanitarian assistance to support populations affected by conflict in Lebanon and the region,” Blinken said
The swing state of Pennsylvania’s voter registration system will be closed on the night of former President Donald Trump’s return rally in Butler, the site of the July 13 assassination attempt against him. The Republican nominee announced Sept. 25 that he is holding another rally in Butler on Oct. 5, just three months after a gunman shot the former president at a rally there, wounding him in the ear. “This website will undergo scheduled system maintenance and be unavailable Saturday, October 5th 10 p.m. until October 6th 4 a.m,” the Pennsylvania Voter Registration website says. “We thank you for your

If it's Friday, then it stands to reason that there's going to be a Friday news dump. And the Biden administration didn't disappoint with its quiet announcement in the work week's waning hours, stating that it will end plans to provide a path to citizenship for the over 500,000 illegal aliens from four nations that it flew into the United States. Readers might remember the temporary pause in the program in August, after major fraudulent activities were exposed in the program's management, in part thanks to Elon Musk's bringing attention to the Daily Mail's story back in the spring.

Gov. Tim Walz (D-Minn.), the Democratic vice presidential nominee, will join Fox News Sunday for his first solo interview on Oct. 6 at 2:00 p.m. according to a Saturday announcement.
The outlet said Shannon Bream will ask him about the state of the race, the September vice presidential debate and other news of the day. Walz has come under attention recently from some in the media for not doing more appearances.
“I’m bewildered a little bit by the absence of both the presidential candidate and the vice presidential candidate on television since they became the nominees,” CNN’s Jake Tapper said o ahead of the vice presidential debate earlier this week.
In a landmark case, the top European Union court has ruled that all member states must recognise gender changes made in other countries within the bloc.
The European Court of Justice (ECJ), which serves as the supreme court of the European Union in matters of EU law, said this week that Romania had violated EU law by refusing to accept as valid a gender transition certificate obtained by Arian Mirzarafie-Ahi in Britain.
The case was spurred after Mirzarafie-Ahi had requested a new birth certificate in Romania, however, the local court demanded that Mirzarafie-Ahi go through a new gender recognition process in Romania rather than accepting the documents from Britain, The Telegraph reports.
North Carolina Hurricane Helene victims are furious at the government for, what they say, has abandoned them without proper resources or supplies. Even so, the storm has taken more than 200 lives and the feeder Al government’s response has been less than urgent. More than a week after the storm hit, North and South Carolina states continue to be isolated with hundreds being without power and lousy service, making it difficult to communicate outside of their community.
Democratic strategist James Carville griped Friday that the Democratic Party is continuously reported in a “negative light” as he clashed with CNN’s host Jake Tapper over Vice President Kamala Harris’ polls in a key swing state.
Polls between Harris and former President Donald Trump have tightened in key swing states, with Michigan becoming a concern for Democrats. While on “The Lead with Jake Tapper,” Carville called out Tapper and CNN’s senior data reporter Harry Enten, who had previously warned about Harris trailing in Michigan polls.
Democratic vice presidential hopeful Tim Walz fessed up to making numerous false statements, but implied that voters aren’t too concerned about his “misspeaking.”
When confronted about his various fibs ranging from being in Hong Kong during the Tiananmen Square massacre to his wife’s reproductive assistance and more, Walz argued that sometimes he gets tripped up by his passion.
“I think they heard me the other night speaking passionately about gun violence and misspeaking,” Walz told “Fox News Sunday,” alluding to how he flubbed an answer during the VP debate and sputtered out the unfortunate turn-of-phrase, “I’ve become friends with school shooters.”

President Joe Biden again undermined Vice President Kamala Harris’s campaign on Friday by tying her to their administration’s policy failures.
Biden’s comments are damaging to Harris because she has been trying to run away from a catch-22: She cannot campaign on policies to fix crime, inflation, and border security without undermining the Biden-Harris administration’s policies, but she must tout the administration’s policies to validate her record and candidacy.
Dolly Parton has pledged a $1 million donation to help Hurricane Helene victims after her home state of Tennessee was one of the six states affected.
On Friday, Oct. 3, the country music star and Pitman Center, Tenn. native, 78, traveled to a Walmart in Newport, Tenn., to announce that she and her East Tennessee businesses partnered with the retailer to help aid those affected.
In addition to Walmart increasing its commitment of $6 million to a $10 million donation to hurricane relief efforts, Parton will now donate $1 million to the Mountain Ways Foundation.
