    At least one person killed and “several injured” as Israel attacks eastern Lebanon

    Israel has bombed the city of Baalbek in Lebanon on Monday. One person died and many others were hurt. This information was given by two security sources and the governor of Baalbek.

    The strike hit the entrance to the city of Baalbek in the south. It was about 2 km (1. 2 miles) away from old Roman ruins, according to security sources.

    Three more strikes hit close to the city of Taraya, 20 km (12. 4 miles) west of Baalbek, they said.

    In late February, eastern Lebanon was bombed for the first time since the fighting started in Gaza.

    Israel had been attacking the southern part of Lebanon, but recently they have also started to target areas further north. This is a change in Israel’s strategy, according to a source in the Lebanese security.

    Nigeria’s MMA fighter, Israel Adesanya, trains Zuckerberg for cage match with Musk

    Well-known mixed martial arts (MMA) champion Israel Adesanya, who was born in Nigeria, recently posted images on Twitter showing him working out American tech millionaire Mark Zuckerberg.

    This development took place amid rumors of a probable duel between Elon Musk, the rival businessman who currently runs Twitter and is originally from South Africa, and Mark Zuckerberg, the CEO of Meta, the organization that owns Facebook and Instagram.

    “We both have South Africans to deal with,” Adesanya quipped on Thursday, along with four photos of the duo training together.

    The 33-year-old fighter, who was born in New Zealand but relocated there as a child, will compete in an Ultimate Fighting Championship (UFC) middleweight match against South African Dricus du Plessis in September.

    Adesanya reportedly arrived at Mr. Zuckerberg’s house in northern California on Saturday to start their training sessions, according to news reports.

    Last month, Mr. Musk, 52, and Mr. Zuckerberg, 39, agreed to compete in a cage match on social media.

    Although a specific date has not yet been set for the fight, the two have already started another argument over Meta’s recent launch of a Twitter substitute.

    The Threads app has been downloaded by more than 70 million people so far.
