Israeli airstrikes on Lebanon have caused thousands to flee into Syria, a nation already ravaged by years of conflict. Watch this report for more details!

An Israeli Bombing Intensifies Refugees From Lebanon Flock to Syria

As per a report by the Wall Street Journal, Israeli forces are "carrying out small, targeted raids into southern Lebanon, gathering intelligence and probing ahead of a possible broader ground incursion.

As per a report by the Wall Street Journal, Israeli forces are "carrying out small, targeted raids into southern Lebanon, gathering intelligence and probing ahead of a possible broader ground incursion." The report said that the ground attack could happen as soon as this week. The report suggests that as part of Israel’s wider strategy to weaken Hezbollah’s strength near the Israel-Lebanon border, these operations have included entering Hezbollah tunnels along the border. Amir Avivi, a former senior military officer in Israel, told the Wall Street Journal that a ground invasion is approaching, and these small raids are part of the preparation process. “The IDF has made a lot of preparations for a ground incursion. Overall, this always includes special operations. This is part of the process,” Avivi told WSJ. Hezbollah deputy leader says the group is ready for any ground attack Meanwhile, Hezbollah’s deputy leader, Naim Qassem, in a televised speech on Monday (September 29), said that they are ready for any potential Israeli ground invasion. Qassem said Hezbollah would continue "confronting the Israeli enemy in support of Gaza and Palestine, in defence of Lebanon and its people, and in response to the assassinations and the killing of civilians." He added, “We will face any scenario and we are ready if Israel decides to enter by land, the resistance forces are ready for any ground confrontation.” Also read: Hamas confirms top leader Sharif Abu al-Amine killed in IDF strike in Lebanon Qassem also confirmed that the group would soon choose a new secretary-general, saying, “We will select a new secretary-general for the party at the earliest opportunity and according to the party's selection mechanism.” This marks the first address by a senior Hezbollah leader after the death of Hezbollah chief Hassan Nasrallah in an Israeli strike on Friday. Since then, Israel has not slowed down its attacks on Hezbollah and targeted as many as 120 strongholds within two days. Qassem now automatically assumes the leadership of Hezbollah, but the group’s Shura Council must convene to formally elect the next secretary-general. (With inputs from agencies)

Hezbollah vows to face ‘any scenario’ as Israel gears up for imminent ground invasion

While many big Hollywood stars and artists are showing their support for Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, Shazam star Zachary Levi has officially endorsed Donald Trump for the 2024 US presidential elections.

The DC star was seen at the Trump rally in Michigan on Saturday, where he moderated a talk between Robert F. Kennedy Jr. and former Hawaii Rep. Tulsi Gabbard, shocking his fans.&nbsp;

“I’m not gonna take too much time, but I did just wanna just give you a little context about why Shazam is sitting here talking to you about these various things,” Levi addressed the crowd.

“I grew up in my family that was Christian conservative, that was pretty much the lane that we were in. My parents were Kennedy Democrats that then turned into Reagan Republicans, and they taught me to have a healthy level of distrust for the government and a healthy level of distrust for industry that runs amok.”

Levi previously supported Robert F. Kennedy Jr., who dropped out of the election race. While in a “perfect world” he would have cast his vote for RFK. Jr., he now expresses his support for the Republican candidate Trump.

“We don’t live in a perfect world,” Levi said. “In fact, we live in a very broken one. We live in a country that has been hijacked by a lot of people who want to take this place way off the cliff. And we want to stop that, right?”

The crowd cheered the Hollywood star as he used Trump’s slogan, “We are going to make America great again!”

In recent years, Levi made headlines for his controversial takes including criticism of the SAG-AFTRA strike and Pfizer vaccine.

Norway might put a fence along part or all of the 198-kilometre border it shares with Russia, the government said during the weekend. The Storskog border station, which has witnessed only a handful of illegal border crossing attempts in the past few years, is the only official crossing point into Norway from Russia.

Norway might put a fence along part or all of the 198-kilometre border it shares with Russia, the government said during the weekend. The Storskog border station, which has witnessed only a handful of illegal border crossing attempts in the past few years, is the only official crossing point into Norway from Russia. In an interview with public broadcaster NRK, which was published on Saturday (Sep 28), Justice Minister Emilie Mehl said that her government was looking at “several measures” to beef up security on the border with Russia in the Arctic North. “A border fence is very interesting, not only because it can act as a deterrent but also because it contains sensors and technology that allow you to detect if people are moving close to the border,” Justice Minister Mehl said. Also read | NATO in line of fire as Ukraine reportedly given nod to use Storm Shadow missiles Mehl added that should the security situation in the delicate Arctic area worsen, the Norwegian government was ready to close the border on short notice. Inspiration from Finland Inspired by Finland’s project, Enger Mehl said that such a fence could also be a good idea for Norway. According to the NRK, her statement was supported by police chief Ellen Katrine Hætta in Norway’s northern Finnmark county. The Storskog border station is currently surrounded by a 200-metre (660-foot) -long and 3.5-metre (12-foot) -high fence erected in 2016 after some 5,000 migrants and asylum-seekers had crossed over from Russia to Norway a year earlier. Why Finland closed all crossing points from Russia? In late 2023, the Finnish government was prompted to close all crossing points from Russia to Finland after over 1,300 third-country migrants without proper documentation or visas entered the country in three months. These migrants entered Finland just months after the country became a member of the North Atlantic Treaty Organization (NATO). Finland is currently building fences with a total length of up to 200 kilometres (124 miles) in separate sections along the border zone that makes up part of NATO’s northern flank and serves as the European Union’s external border, a report by the news agency Associated Press said. According to border officials, fences equipped with top-notch surveillance equipment were needed to better monitor and control any migrants attempting to cross over from Russia and give officials time to react.

Germany has introduced changes to its citizenship laws to ensure people with hatred towards Jews and Israel are kept away from naturalisation. German channel NDR (North German Radio and Television) has reported citing the country’s Interior Ministry that under the new law, people posting 'From the River to the Sea' on social media may also be denied citizenship.

<h2>'From the River to the Sea'</h2>

Amid increased antisemitism across Europe, Germany has introduced clause 10.1.1.1.3.1 in its citizenship law that concerns "Germany’s special historical responsibility for the National Socialist injustice and its consequences, especially for the protection of Jewish life."

The clause states that an individual who doesn’t respect Germany’s stance on providing legal guarantees and security commitment to Jews will not be offered citizenship. It means those denying or disputing the extent of the genocide of the Jews of Europe by Nazi Germany (the Holocaust) will be not offered naturalisation.

Now, the clause also includes anti-Israel and anti-Jew slogans and phrases, which means any person posting these statements online can be denied German citizenship.

"From the River to the Sea," possibly with the addition "Palestine will be free," "Let's go bomb Tel Aviv," "Death to Israel," and "Israel, child murderer" are some of the statements that have been identified as anti-Jew and anti-Israel under the clause.

Additionally, posting maps online showing Israeli area coloured in the Palestinian flag may also draw similar measures from the government. Not just posting, but liking, reposting and commenting on such slogans may also cost an individual German citizenship.

However, the Interior Ministry has said that the context of these statements would be taken into account.

For example, if "statements such as 'From the River to the Sea' coincide with an explicit call for violent actions against the State of Israel," this should be questioned in a citizenship interview.

Earlier in March, Germany had introduced questions on the Holocaust, Judaism, and Israel to filter out people with antisemitic views in its citizenship test.

The former wife of celebrity zoologist Adam Britton - who was imprisoned for raping, torturing and killing dogs - revealed to the Australian news show “60 Minutes” what was the moment when she discovered her then-husband's “evil” abuse.

Erin, while speaking at the show, further said that the zoologist had even begged her to provide him with some dog books when he was in jail.

<h2>Wife discovers husband's brutal crimes against dogs</h2>

Speaking on the news show, Erin confided that she had gone out of town when she was informed about police officials storming their home in Darwin.

Erin said that she had “no idea why or what the crimes were” till a lawyer informed her that her husband is facing an accusation of raping and torturing 42 dogs and of killing at least 39 of those animals.

“She told me that there were crimes of animal cruelty and, you know, obviously there was bestiality. And when she told me bestiality, my brain was, like, denial,” Erin recalled.

In a significant boost for India-Morocco defence and economic ties, the Indian-origin Wheeled Armoured Platform 8x8 will undergo final assembly and integration at an Indian factory in Casablanca, Morocco. This is the result of a strategic partnership between The Kingdom of Morocco’s Royal Armed Forces and the Indian firm Tata Advanced Systems Limited (TASL). Morocco is learnt to have placed orders for 150 WhAP vehicles. Interestingly, despite WhAP being Indian-origin, it has been procured in very low numbers domestically. For lesser-known reasons, the Indian Government is keen to procure the US-origin Stryker vehicle made by General Dynamics Land Systems, despite the Modi Government's emphasis on indigenous development and "Atmanirtbharta"(self-reliance).

Dubbed as India's first amphibious infantry combat vehicle on wheels, the WhAP is jointly developed by Tata Advanced Systems and Tata Motors with Defence Research Development Organization(DRDO). This armoured vehicle stands as a successful example of Indian private sector and government partnership. Simply put, it is a light armoured all-terrain vehicle that can safely ferry troops in and out of combat zones. The vehicle's armour can handle incoming fire from small arms, and can return fire from its mounted gun. Such vehicles can be deployed to perform various roles including medical evacuation, surveillance, troop transport etc.&nbsp;

Expected to be operational in a year, the upcoming Tata facility in Morocco would be the North African country's first large defence manufacturing plant, and the first overseas defence manufacturing plant by an Indian defence Original Equipment Manufacturer. Given that the Moroccan facility would be performing assembly and integration, significant content of the vehicle would be exported from India. However, the plant in Morocco will provide local employment, value addition and support.&nbsp;

"This partnership with Tata Advanced Systems marks a new era in the development of our defence industry. It is a strategic step that will not only contribute to our national self-reliance but also our ability to scale up our defence industry quickly and reliably," said&nbsp; Abdeltif Loudyi, Honourable Minister Delegate to the Head of Government in charge of the Administration National Defence.&nbsp;

Significant content of the TASL platform 8x8 will be exported from India, while also meeting a commitment for local employment, value addition and support in Morocco. The production facility in Casablanca covering 20,000 sqm&nbsp;has been identified. While the initial contracted quantity is entirely to meet the needs of Royal Moroccan Army, this facility will be a 100% subsidiary of Tata Advanced Systems, and become an export hub to meet the requirements of other countries in Africa.

"This contract is of significant size and of strategic importance for us. This not only enables TASL to help initiate Morocco’s defence ecosystem but also acts as a launch point for TASL into rest of Africa for select defence systems," said Sukaran Singh, CEO and MD, TASL.

Tata Advanced Systems is to closely work with the Moroccan government to engage with the local supply chain partners and vendors, offer training and skill development to the workforce, help maintain the armoured vehicles in-country.

In an interesting research, an expert stumbled upon a new feature added by OpenAI in which people can ask ChatGPT to "remember" earlier conversations.

What left the researchers shocked was that this feature had the possibility of being easily exploited.

According to a report published in Ars Technica, security researcher Johann Rehberger discovered a stunning vulnerability in the chatbot's "long-term conversation memory" tool. This tool instructs the artificial intelligence to remember all details related to the conversations and store them in its memory file.

The feature was released in the AI's beta version in February and for the entire public in September. However, what was fun about this feature was that it was easy to trick, as per Rehberger.

In a blog post, the researcher&nbsp;said that by uploading a third-party file like Microsoft Word which had "false" memories listed like bullet points, it was possible to make the chatbot believe that Rehberger lived in the Matrix&nbsp;and was more than 100 years old.

After the researcher found the exploit, he privately informed OpenAI about it.

Rehberger said that the company did not take any steps and just closed the ticket while calling it a "Model Safety Issue" and not a security issue.

<h2>Here's how you can place false memories in ChatGPT</h2>

Rehberger then decided to carry out a full proof-of-concept hack to show OpenAI how ChatGPT's memories can be fiddled with. This time, the researcher asked the ChatGPT to exfiltrate the data to an outside server.

According to the report, this time OpenAI issued a patch and stopped ChatGPT from moving data off-server, however, the memory issue was still not fixed.

"To be clear: A website or untrusted document can still invoke the memory tool to store arbitrary memories," wrote Rehberger, in his blog post.

"The vulnerability that was mitigated is the exfiltration vector, to prevent sending messages to a third-party server," he added.

The researcher also uploaded a video explaining step-by-step how he added a "false memory" in ChatGPT.

"What is really interesting is this is memory-persistent now," Rehberger said in the demo video.

"The prompt injection inserted a memory into ChatGPT’s long-term storage. When you start a new conversation, it actually is still exfiltrating the data," he added.

In a medical breakthrough, a woman's type 1&nbsp;diabetes has been reversed in China through the world's first stem cell transplant.

In the treatment, these cells were converted into personalized stem cells, which were used for growing hormone-producing cells or 'islets' in the liver and pancreas, which regulate the amount of sugars in the body.

"I can eat sugar now," said the 25-year-old woman, who is from the city of Tianjin. According to the researchers, her body has now been able to successfully produce its own insulin for more than a year.

In this new method, islets were inserted just under the abdomen, which helped the researchers monitor their progress using MRI with comparative ease.

"They've completely reversed diabetes in the patient, who was requiring substantial amounts of insulin beforehand," said&nbsp;transplant surgeon Dr James Shapiro, who was not part of the new study, while speaking to the journal&nbsp;Nature.

<h2>Here's what experts said about new medical technique</h2>

Other experts also praised the breakthrough. "If this is applicable to other patients, it's going to be wonderful," said diabetes researcher Daisuke Yabe of Japan's Kyoto University while speaking to reporters.

However, some medical professionals said that it is better to wait and see if this treatment of the team can be reproduced in more patients.&nbsp;&nbsp;

The experts also emphasised that this process of crafting personalised transplants with the patient's own cells is difficult currently and can be costly.

According to medical experts, transplants like this, in which the extracted cells of the patient are subtly guided to turn into stem cells and then used for growing more specialised cells, which are transplanted back into the patient, may be less prone to facing rejection from the body.

Tesla Chairman&nbsp;Elon Musk&nbsp;and Indian American billionaire&nbsp;Vinod Khosla have been engaging in heated arguments on X lately and recently, they got into another ugly war of words over the employment rate in Argentina.

“Argentina's unemployment rate soars to 52% under Mileis dictatorial austerity program. Same will happen under @realDonaldTrump as he slashes spending. His tariffs will simultaneously increase inflation,” wrote Khosla on X, as he shared a link to a Financial Times article which stated that the poverty rate of the country stood at 52 per cent.

Responding to this post, Musk wrote, “You are dumb”, as he understood that the poverty data was referring to unemployment data.

‘We were illegal immigrants’: Elon Musk’s brother Kimbal admits in resurfaced video

The body of Hezbollah chief Sayyed Hassan Nasrallah was recovered on Sunday, reportedly, from the site of an Israeli airstrike in Beirut. Nasrallah's body had no direct wounds and the cause of death appeared to be blunt trauma from the force of the blast. Watch in for more details!

Israel-Hezbollah War: No Direct Wound on Nasrallah's Body, Trauma May Be Cause of Death

Israeli security agencies had the opportunity to kill Hamas chief&nbsp;Yahya Sinwar but decided against it, fearing for the lives of the hostages currently in the militant outfit's captivity, a report in The Jerusalem Post, citing&nbsp;N12 news has claimed.&nbsp;

The report stated that Sinwar had surrounded himself with the hostages and was using them as human shields to avoid being gunned down by the Israeli forces. Sinwar is believed to be hiding in the tunnels under Gaza.

According to media reports, Sinwar has secured his hiding place after learning about an Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah chief, Hassan Nasrallah in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon.&nbsp;

The report comes in the backdrop of reports claiming that Tel Aviv was investigating the possibility of Sinwar being dead as he was incommunicado for a relatively long time. Tel Aviv has reiterated that Sinwar's death might be the final nail in the coffin for Hamas which has faced significant losses in its top hierarchy in the recent weeks.&nbsp;

Sinwar succeeded&nbsp;Ismail Haniyeh as Hamas chief after the latter was assassinated in Iran. Haniyeh was allegedly neutralised by Israel using an explosive device that was smuggled into the guesthouse he was staying at&nbsp;in Tehran.&nbsp;

<h2>Who is Sinwar?</h2>

Born in Khan Younis in 1962, Sinwar is seen as one of the&nbsp;uncompromising top officials of Hamas. In the early 1980s, Sinwar was repeatedly arrested by Israel because of his involvement in anti-occupation activism held at the Islamic University in Gaza.

After completing his graduation, Sinwar set up a network of fighters who were trained for armed resistance against Israel. Later, this group became the well-known Qassam Brigades, which is the military wing of Hamas.

Alongside now-killed Mohammed Deif, the head of&nbsp;Qassam Brigades, Sinwar planned the October 7 attacks, whose foundations were set in place after IDF carried out a raid on Al Aqsa mosque in May 2021.&nbsp;

In the 23 years he spent in Israel's jail, Sinwar learnt Hebrew and also got well-versed in Israel's political affairs. In 2011, he was released as part of the prisoner exchange deal in which Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was released from Hamas.

According to media reports, Sinwar has secured his hiding place after learning about an Israeli airstrike that killed Hezbollah chief, Hassan Nasrallah in the southern suburbs of Beirut, Lebanon. The report comes in the backdrop of reports claiming that Tel Aviv was investigating the possibility of Sinwar being dead as he was incommunicado for a relatively long time. Tel Aviv has reiterated that Sinwar's death might be the final nail in the coffin for Hamas which has faced significant losses in its top hierarchy in the recent weeks. Sinwar succeeded Ismail Haniyeh as Hamas chief after the latter was assassinated in Iran. Haniyeh was allegedly neutralised by Israel using an explosive device that was smuggled into the guesthouse he was staying at in Tehran.

In the early 1980s, Sinwar was repeatedly arrested by Israel because of his involvement in anti-occupation activism held at the Islamic University in Gaza. After completing his graduation, Sinwar set up a network of fighters who were trained for armed resistance against Israel. Later, this group became the well-known Qassam Brigades, which is the military wing of Hamas. Alongside now-killed Mohammed Deif, the head of Qassam Brigades, Sinwar planned the October 7 attacks, whose foundations were set in place after IDF carried out a raid on Al Aqsa mosque in May 2021.

In 2011, he was released as part of the prisoner exchange deal in which Israeli soldier Gilad Shalit was released from Hamas. (With inputs from agencies)
