Did you miss the news from this early morning? We’ve put together a recap to help you see things more clearly.
Fears of an all-out war between Hezbollah and Israel are running high. A new wave of explosions of the Iran-backed group’s communications devices killed 20 people and injured more than 450 across Lebanon on Wednesday. On Tuesday, simultaneous explosions of pagers, a radio messaging system used by the Islamist movement, killed 12 people and injured between 2,750 and 2,800.
The risks of a Middle East embrace are therefore high as Israeli Defense Minister Yoav Gallant has estimated that the “center of gravity” of the war is moving “toward the north” where the almost daily deadly exchanges of fire with Hezbollah have led to the displacement of tens of thousands of inhabitants on both sides of the border.
The list of actions to destabilize the American presidential election is growing. Iranian hackers sent the campaign team of Joe Biden, who has since withdrawn from the race in favor of Kamala Harris, documents “stolen” from Donald Trump’s team, the FBI, the Office of the Director of National Intelligence (ODNI) and the Cybersecurity and Infrastructure Security Agency (CISA) said on Wednesday. According to these three agencies, none of these “unsolicited” emails received a response from Joe Biden’s camp. But for Donald Trump’s team it is “proof that the Iranians are actively interfering in the election to help Kamala Harris and Joe Biden because they know that President Trump will restore his harsh sanctions (against Iran) and stand up to their reign of terror.”
The victory is certainly there, but it was laborious for PSG’s entry into the Champions League on Wednesday evening. Paris had to wait until the very end of the match to succeed in beating Girona (1-0) at the Parc des Princes. The Parisians were very clumsy in front of the goal guarded by Gazzaniga, who also offered the victory to PSG because of a huge blunder. This sluggish start from his players does not seem to worry Luis Enrique for the moment.
