A drone attack from Lebanon targeted Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's private residence in Caesarea, near Haifa, on Saturday. The drone exploded near his home, but Netanyahu and his wife were not present at the time. Israeli air defenses intercepted two other drones, causing sirens to sound in the Tel Aviv area. The attack follows Israel’s killing of Hamas chief Yahya Sinwar in Gaza just two days earlier. The third drone caused a loud explosion after hitting a building in Caesarea, according to reports.

Liam Payne's father, Geoff Payne, visited the Casa Sur Hotel in Buenos Aires, Argentina, where his son tragically died after falling from a third-floor balcony. Geoff was seen reading tributes and kissing pictures left by mourners outside the hotel. Payne, aged 31, died on Wednesday, and his father arrived in Argentina on Friday to make arrangements for his son's body to be returned to the UK. Geoff was accompanied by British consular officials and security staff as he made his way through the city, paying respects at the scene of the accident.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar's autopsy reveals he was killed by a gunshot wound to the head, with severe bleeding from a smashed forearm likely caused by shrapnel from a small missile or tank shell. The 61-year-old's body also showed multiple serious injuries prior to the fatal shot. Sinwar's identity was confirmed through DNA testing of his severed finger. Dr. Chen Kugel, director of Israel's national forensic institute, oversaw the autopsy and shared these findings with The New York Times. Sinwar's death occurred during an Israeli military operation in Gaza on October 16, 2024.

At least 33 people, including children, were killed and 85 injured in Israeli airstrikes on the Jabalia refugee camp in northern Gaza, according to medics. The Palestinian news agency WAFA reported the death toll may rise as some remain trapped under the rubble. The local health ministry confirmed 20 additional deaths in Jabalia on Friday, along with 19 more fatalities across Gaza. Residents said Israeli tanks reached the camp's center, destroying houses from the air and ground, with some buildings demolished using explosives. The strikes come amid ongoing Israeli military operations in the densely populated camp.

A video allegedly showing North Korean troops in Russia has surfaced, as Kim Jong Un reportedly sends 12,000 soldiers to support Russia's invasion of Ukraine. South Korean intelligence confirmed that an initial contingent of 1,500 troops had already arrived in Vladivostok. Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelenskyy warned that North Korea's involvement could escalate the conflict into a "world war." South Korean officials expressed concerns over the grave security threat posed by North Korean troops, while NATO emphasized North Korea's support to Russia through weapons supplies.

Rome may introduce a €1 ticketing system for tourists visiting the iconic Trevi Fountain starting in 2025. The city aims to reduce overcrowding and preserve the historic site, which attracts over 7 million visitors annually. "I would be in favour of looking at a new form of access, limited and timed," said Alessandro Onorato, Rome's tourism official. The proposed system would not affect locals, who can still visit for free. This move follows Venice’s introduction of a €5 entry fee for day-trippers earlier this year, part of a broader effort by Italy to curb over-tourism.

Protests erupted in Jordan following the killing of Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar by Israel’s military. Demonstrators demanded the Jordanian government support Palestinian resistance and annul its peace treaty with Israel. "Commander Sinwar was martyred, a legend who dazzled the East and the West," one protester told Sky News. The protests were further fueled by Israel's earlier report of killing two armed attackers crossing from Jordan, which Jordan's military denied. The Muslim Brotherhood in Jordan later claimed the attackers as members of their group. Tensions between Jordan and Israel remain high amid growing regional unrest.

The CDC reported a 25-year low in U.S. teen smoking and tobacco use, with just 8% of middle and high school students using tobacco products. The number dropped from 2.8 million users last year to 2.25 million in 2024. "Reaching a 25-year low for youth tobacco product use is an extraordinary milestone," said Deirdre Lawrence Kittner, CDC’s Office on Smoking and Health. E-cigarette use, the most common form, fell to 6%, while traditional smoking declined to just 1.7%. Health officials credit price hikes, public campaigns, and stricter regulations for the drop.

Authorities in Argentina have confirmed that Liam Payne "jumped from the balcony" of his Buenos Aires hotel room, leading to his tragic death. The 31-year-old singer was on holiday with his girlfriend, Kate Cassidy, to support ex-bandmate Niall Horan. Hotel staff made two emergency calls, with one stating, "We have a guest who's off his head on drugs and is destroying everything." White powder, suspected to be cocaine, was found in his room. A preliminary autopsy revealed Payne suffered "multiple traumas" from a 40-foot fall. The investigation continues as police seek the source of the drugs.

Hamas leader Yahya Sinwar was killed in Gaza after Israeli trainee soldiers unexpectedly discovered him during a routine patrol in Rafah. The trainees, part of an infantry training unit, engaged Sinwar and his bodyguards in a gunfight before cornering him in a damaged building. Sinwar, severely injured, attempted to resist by throwing grenades and later faced tank fire. A drone captured his last moments as he sat wounded. Sinwar’s body was identified through DNA testing, ending a year-long manhunt. His final defiance has heightened his martyr status for some, while his death leaves Gaza's future uncertain.
